and ancillary commercial land uses proposed on the Project site and creates a desirable use
ofland that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design which is
in close proximity to mass transit.
2. Development of Dublin Transit Center Site E-I (Metropolitan at Dublin Station) under the
Planned Development Zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future
development in the surrounding area in that the land uses and site plan establish a high
density residential apartment community with ancillary commercial uses, on-site
amenities, and affordable units in compliance with Master Development Agreement
adopted by Ordinance 5-03 in May 2003. The land uses and site plan provide effective
transitions to surrounding development which is characterized by the proposed vehicular
and pedestrian circulation system.

9. Parking/Garage and Loading
A total of 734 parking stalls, either in the parking structure or on the street will be provided
with the project. The number of residential parking stalls provided will exceed the
requirement for the site by 128 (the Dublin Transit Center Plan requires 1.5 parking stalls for
each dwelling unit), however, these stalls will be provided for residents of the
condominiums. A total of 708 parking stalls will be provided in the parking garage. The
parking garage can be accessed from Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive. Parking for
residents will be located behind a gate which will require a remote to open.
Retail parking is located on the south side of the garage. A total of 95 parking stalls and 22
guest parking stalls are located in this area. This portion of the parking garage may be
accessed from Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive. Two pedestrian pathways are also
included in the project which provide pedestrian access from Iron Horse Parkway and
Martinelli Way. A total of 26 parking stalls will be provided on Iron Horse Parkway and
Campus Drive which can be used for short term guest, resident or retail parking. Parking
along these streets are limited to a maximum of two hours. Signage will be posted which
alerts motorists of the parking limits. Loading for large trucks will be provided along
Martinelli Way.
The Dublin Transit Center Plan required 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit and did not
discuss whether or not guest parking was included in that figure. Parking studies were later
conducted which recommended that guest parking equal 15% of the total required number of
parking stalls in the Transit Center. A total of 44 guest parking stalls will be provided which
is a deficit of 22 stalls over what is required (66). The Applicant has requested a 25% shared
parking credit which would allow the Applicant to combine retail and guest parking on the
south side of the parking garage (which will result in a deficit of22 parking stalls). Based on
recommendations from a parking analysis conducted for the project (see Omni-Means
Focused Parking Analysis dated November 9, 2005), the provided parking will meet retail
and guest parking demands for the property as long as the parking stalls along Iron Horse
Parkway and Campus DriVe are reserved for short term parking.
Based on the parking provided, retail uses will be limited based on the availability of
parking, Retail parking requirements are located in Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and
Loading Regulations of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance. Parking requirements for Metropolitan
at Dublin Station are as follows:

10. Site Plan and Architecture
This Development Plan applies to approximately :!:4.l net acres on the southeast comer of
Dublin Boulevard and Iron Horse Parkway. The property is located between Iron Horse
Parkway and Campus Drive on the West and East sides of the property and Dublin
Boulevard and Martinelli Way on the North and South sides of the property. Residential and
retail units will be located on site. The following is a synopsis ofthe proposed project:
Residential: A total of 300 units would be constructed in two buildings. The overall
architectural style of the project is Mediterranean with modem influences.
Building Number 1 will be constructed along Martinelli Way, Iron Horse Parkway and
Campus Drive and will have a total of 145 dwelling units plus ground floor retail. This
building is 65' in height above grade and has six floors of residential units above ground
floor retail (along Martinelli Way and Iron Horse Parkway) for a total of7 stories. On the
Campus Drive elevation, there are seven floors of residential units.
Building Number 2 will front Dublin Boulevard, Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive.
This building will have 155 dwelling units and is 50' in height above grade. The building
will be five stories of residential units (the ground floor along Dublin Boulevard will be
parking).

PD. Planned Development Zoning District
PA 05-042 Dublin Transit Center Site E-l
Balconies 'are located on each of the elevations in the project. Access from ground floor
units to the street has been provided on Campus Drive and Iron Horse Parkway to
promote use ofthe surrounding streets.
Each of the two buildings are centered around a courtyard which features attractive
plantingsand walkways. Courtyard A has a pool and spa and Courtyard B has a spa
which can be used by all residents. Both courtyards will connect for easy access to each
side of the property.
A recreation room and exercise room for use by all residents is located on the ground
floor in the parking garage. The areas may be accessed via the elevators or stairs.
Ancillary Commercial: Approximately 15,000 square feet of ancillary, neighborhood-
serving commercial uses are allowed for development at the ground level along Iron
Horse Parkway and Martinelli Way. Retail has been provided In Building Number I and
includes 9,000 sq. ft. of general retail uses and 6,000 sq. ft. of eating and drinking
establishments. Residents will have access to the retail via the elevators which are
located throughout the parking structure and via the street. Two pedestrian paths are also
located through the retail areas along Iron Horse Parkway and Martinelli Way which
provide access to the sidewalk along these streets. The retail area includes signage and
awnings which promote visual interest along the street.
Parking Structure: The parking structure is located underneath the buildings and in the
center of the buildings. The lower parking level will be a subterranean level. The ground
floor level will be located beneath the courtyards and will only be visible along Dublin
Boulevard. Resident parking is located on both levels while retail and guest parking is
located on the ground floor. Access to the parking structure is located off of Campus
Drive and Iron Horse Parkway.
The site layout and architectural design of this project will be consistent with the urban
lifestyle and character of mixed uses planned for the Dublin Transit Center. The detailing of
the retail storefronts, townhouse stoops, and urban landscape will enhance the pedestrian
scale of this area.
The architecture of the buildings is in the "Mediterranean" style with modern influences
which can be seen in some of the details on the buildings. Each building will have its own
architectural style to promote uniqueness and architectural diversity on the site. While the
buildings are not exact replicas of each other, certain architectural elements are replicated on
each of the building. Details including roof forms, colors, materials, form, massing, balcony
design and window design are similar on each ofthe buildings. While there are differences in
the two designs, the overall designs compliment each other. The two different building
designs will promote visual interest along the street and through out the project.
See attached plans and building elevations prepared by Togawa and Smith Architects, Inc.
labeled Exhibit A received by the Planning Division on November 21,2005, and Landscape
Plans prepared by The Guzzardo Partnership Inc., received by the Planning Division on
November 21,2005, referred to as Project Plans labeled Exhibit A to the January 13, 2006

modifications to the project shall be substantially consistent with these plans and of equal or
superior materials and design quality.
11. Preliminary Landscape Plan
8
PO, Planned Development Zoning District
P A 05-042 Dublin Transit Center Site E-l
The landscape plan reinforces the urban design intent by creating a pedestrian oriented
perimeter with generous sidewalks, street tree planting, and enhanced paving patterns at key
elements. On the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Iron Horse Parkway, the corner has been
designed to include an opportunity for public art with attractive landscape materials.
In order to soften the height of the building and promote visual interest along the street, large
shrubs, trees and colorful plants will be provided. These plants include redwood trees,
camellias, India Hawthorn, ferns and other materials. The variety of plant materials will also
screen the ground floor of the building (where parking is visible). See the Section on Sheet
L4 ofthe project plans to see a sketch ofthe proposed landscaping along Dublin Boulevard.
A double row of trees will be located on all streets which will conform to the requirements of
the Dublin Transit Center Plan.
Accent planting will be located at the entrance to the parking garage off. of Iron Horse
Parkway. The planting will include small plants as well as accent trees in addition to the
accent paving.
The courtyard will also feature attractive plant materials. The materials will be a mix trees,
shrubs, accent shrubs and ground cover.
