WHEREAS, Applicant/Developer has submitted a General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan
Amendment Map (Exhibit A to Attachment 3), labeled PUD Sheet 3 of 17, dated received September 2,
1999, and amended to state "Specific Plan Amendment Map" as well as General Plan Amendment Map,
and
WHEREAS, the General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment propose to amend their
respective plans to change the land use designation of 16.4 acres at the southerly end of the Yarra Yarra
property on the East side of Tassajara Creek from Public/Semi-Public - Public Facility (Junior High School
site) to Medium Density Residential; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin Unified School District has determined that it does not need the subject
land designated Public/Semi-Public- Public Facility Applicant; and
WHEREAS, the lands surrounding the subject land designated Public/Semi-Public- Public Facility
are designated Medium Density Residential on both the Dublin General Plan and the East Dublin Specific
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the most appropriate land use designation on both the Dublin General Plan and the
East Dublin Specific Plans for the subject land designated Public/Semi-Public - Public Facility is Medium
Density Residential; and
WHEREAS, an analysis of traffic generation of both a Junior High School and a residential
development at 6.91 dwelling units per acre revealed that the General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan
Amendment to the Medium Density Residential land use designation would result in a reduction of P.M.
peak traffic; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City has found,
that based on the Eastern Dublin Program EIR and the project MND, the project as proposed, conditioned
and mitigated will not have a significant environmental effect (Resolution XX -00); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said applications
on February 22, 2000, at which time it recommended that the City Council adopt this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on said applications on March 7, 2000; and

WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the City Council recommending approval of the
General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and use their independent judgment and considered all said
reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby
make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed General Plan Amendment and
Specific Plan amendment:
,
The proposed Amendments are consistent with the goals, general provisions and purpose of the
Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan as proposed to be amended herein;
and
.
The Amendments are appropriate for the subject property in terms of land use compatibilities;
will not overburden public services; and will provide a comprehensive plan for development of
the site while preserving portions of the site for open space; and
.
The changes to the General Plan and EDSP will provide a revision to the land use designations
for this property, changing approximately 16.4 acres from "Public/Semi-Public - Public
Facility" to "Medium Density Residential" as reflected on Sheet PUD 3 of 17, included as a part
of Exhibit A to this resolution. The change to this land use is in the public interest and is
appropriate based upon the analysis contained in the staff report, will provide a development
pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, will reduce automobile traffic, and will help
implement policies of the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin
.
The Amendments will not have substantial adverse effects on health or safety, or be
substantially detrimental to the public welfare, or be injurious to property or public
improvements.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does
hereby approve the General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment for PA 98-062 from
Public/Semi-Public - Public Facility to Medium Density Residential:
