APPROVING THE INITIATION OF AN EASTERN DUBLIN SPECIFIC PLAN AND

PROPERTY AT 6861 TASSAJARA ROAD
(ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBER 985-0001-001)
P A 03-060
WHEREAS, Jay Egy, on behalf of the DeSilva Group, has submitted a request to study an
alternative site plan for the Moller Ranch project and initiate an Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Amendment and General Plan Amendment Study to review the alternative for property at 6861
Tassajara Road; and
WHEREAS, on August 19, 2003, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the initiation
of an Eastern Dublin Specific Plan amendment study and authorizing the commencement of
annexation proceedings for a 186 unit detached single family residential development located at 6861
Tassajara Road; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has requested approval to study an alternative site plan for the project
site to allow up to 326 attached townhomes; and
WHEREAS, the proposed alternative site plan would increase the total number of units by 140
units and would change the housing type from detached single family units to attached townbomes;
and
WHEREAS, a portion of the project area is in the City of Dublin's Sphere ofInfluence area but
outside of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area boundary; and
WHEREAS, in order to consider the alternative as proposed, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
would need to be amended to include the project area and to develop land use designations for the
property; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin General Plan states that the land use designation for this property is
Stream Corridor, Rural Residential, and Low Density Residential which allows up to 60 detached
dwelling units per acre; and
WHEREAS, the proposed alternative is not consistent with the General Plan Land Use
designation of Rural Residential and Low Density Residential because the project includes attached
units and therefore requires an amendment to the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, additional entitlements including Stage I and Stage II Planned Development re-
zoning, Site Development Review, and other associated permits would need to be processed before
development could occur; and
