Project Description
for
DUBLIN RANCH AREA H
Planned Development District and Stage I Development Plan
(P A 98-070)
Introduction
Dublin Ranch is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area and comprises
approximately 1,311' acres. The portion of Dublin Ranch that has been annexed to the
City of Dublin consists of I, I I I acres. The 1,3 I I acre portion of Dublin Ranch was pre-
zoned in conformance with the East Dublin Specific Plan when it was annexed to the City
under P A 94-030. Therefore, this Development Plan will also serve as an amendment for
a minor modification to that prezoing. Additionally, this Development Plan is being
submitted concurrently with a minor modification of the Dublin General PlanlEast Dublin
Specific Plan Amendment.
Dublin Ranch Area H, hereinafter called the Project Area, is bordered by Dublin
Boulevard on the north, Dublin Ranch Area C to the east, 1-580 on the south and the
property of the Dublin Land Company on the west. It is approximately 70.8 acres in size.
This area has two land use designations, General Conunercial and Campus Office. The
Specific Plan shows 35.9 acres designated General Conunercial and 36.7 acres for
Campus Office. In this Stage I Development Plan, these acreages have been modified,
proposing 43.9 acres of Campus Office,.)8,7acres of General Comrnercialandthe
remaining 10.5 acres as being either all General ConunerciaI or all Campus Office.
PA 98-070 is a Stage I Development Plan as defined by Section 8.32.030(A) of the
Dublin Zoning Ordinance. This submittal includes a listing of permitted and
conditionally permitted land uses; data on site area; proposed square feet; a phasing plan;
and textual information sufficient to establish consistency with the General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
Existing Land Use and Site Conditions
Existing land uses within the Project Area is predominantly agricultural, consisting of
cattle grazing and dry farming of grain and hay crops. No residences or other structures
exist within the area. Adjoining properties currently employ these same uses.
The project area is primarily open grassland or dry farmed croplands with no existing
trees. The entire area is virtually flat with an average grade change of four feet, or
. Dublin Ranch includes all of the property in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area shown as being owned
by Chang Su-O-Lin and Pao-Lin, excluding Phase I which is currently under development.

.0035%, across the site. Elevations across the project area generally rise from south to
north.
Various biological studies have been undertaken in the Project Area and surrounding
areas by H. T. Harvey & Associates relative to special status plants and wildlife species.
No special-status wildlife or plant species were detected on site. Please refer to the
Appendix for a sununary of these studies.
A report prepared by Ted Winfield & Associates containing an analysis of the areas of the
site that are subject to Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction was formally submitted to the
USACE on May 20, 1999. This report was prepared with the field review and input of
Corps representatives and is expected to be verified in writing by the Corps very soon.
Maps and acreage estimates contained in the draft report are considered to be preliminary
until the Corps has officially verified the jurisdictional delineation. Proposed fill for this
project will require a Corps of Engineers permit. It is anticipated that the Corps permit
for Area H will be part of a larger permitting effort that will include all of the remaining
portions of Dublin Ranch which are encumbered with areas of Corps' jurisdiction. Refer
to the Appendix for a summary of this study.
No archaeological resources or indicators of such have been found on the site by Holman
& Associates Archaeological Consultants either during their work undertaken for the East
Dublin Specific Plan or a follow up site survey on May 20,1999.
A Phase I and 2 site assessment of the Project Area has been conducted by Berlogar
Geotechnical Consultants to determine the presence of anyon-site hazardous waste and
substance sites. The findings of the study indicated that no problem sites were found. In
addition, an environmental records search was conducted by Berlogar to determine if the
site was included on a site of hazardous waste and substance areas. The results of this
search indicated that neither this particular site nor any areas within a two mile radius of
the center of the site are listed as a hazardous site, hazardous material generator or
transporter, or known to have underground storage tank leaks. Refer to the Appendix to
review this document in greater detail.
Community Theme
Area H is more urban and contemporary in use and appearance than the rest of Dublin
Ranch. To provide a degree of thematic unity throughout Dublin Ranch, certain common
elements such as conununity signage, light standards, street furnishings and similar plant
palettes will be utilized. Refer to the following Design Guidelines for further discussion
about key design concepts.

Proposed Development Plan
When the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was prepared, the region-serving commercial and
office land use designations were located adjacent to 1-580 for three reasons: the land
there is generally level, these sites are highly visible and easy access is available from the
freeway. For these reasons Area H is a prime commercialloffice site. The site is fully
visible from 1-580 and is within 950 feet and 2,700 feet of the Tassajara Road and Fallon
Road interchanges, respectively. Area H, in combination with Area C of Dublin Ranch,
is the only remaining large (over 100 acres) commerciaIloffice site in Dublin and, as such,
is highly desirable for users needing campus-type sites, especially high tech users
expanding from Silicon Valley.
The Development Plan proposes to increase Campus Office uses by either 7.2 acres or
17.7 acres above what is depicted on the Specific Plan (the difference being whether the
10.5 acre GC/CO flex parcel is developed with Campus Office uses or not) and the
General Commercial area is being reduced by a like amount. In addition, the
Development Plan proposes that the midpoint of the density range of the floor area ratio
(FAR) for Campus Office uses be increased from the 0.35 in the Specific Plan to 0.45,
with .60 FAR being the maximum of the range. This will allow the flexibility to exceed
.45 FAR for some parcels; however, the average FAR for all CO parcels would not
exceed .45 FAR.
This FAR revision would set a maximum oQI 8.000 sq. ft.of General Commercial with
the "Least Office" scenario or a maximum of 1,066,349 sq. ft. of Campus Office in the
"Most Office" scenario. However, in either scenario, the total square footage of any
combination ofGC and CO shall not exceed 1.269,99LForcomparison,theEastDublin
Specific Plan has 390,951 square feet of General Commercial and 559,528 square feet of
Campus Office, for a total of 950,479 square feet. If the property is subdivided,
individual parcels may be developed at greater than their respective midpoint F ARs (0.25
for GC and 0.45 for CO) as long as the overall square footage maximums are not
exceeded. For example, if 2:9.2 acres ofGC~designated landis developed andit is
subdivided into two parcels, one of those parcels could be developed at a FAR greater
than 0.25 as long as a corresponding decrease in the FAR on the other parcel kept the
overall building square footage at or below the.;l18.000 sq,ft figure,
The changes described above are based upon the result of market assessment studies
undertaken by EDA W, Inc., whose analysis concludes that the 1-580 corridor is "over-
zoned" for regional/community-serving commercial uses. The corridor is saturated with
large format, specific market and full service retailers. Approximately 150 acres ofland
intended for such users are still available in the Specific Plan area, however, recent
market studies show the buildout population of Eastern Dublin will not be at high enough
levels to warrant a commercial area of this size. Additionally, the market assessment
indicates a considerable demand at present for regional and headquarters office land.
That need is especially acute for large parcels of such land. It is for these reasons that the
Development Plan for Area H is proposing the flexibility to have either a 7.2 acre or 17.7
acre reduction in General Commercial and a corresponding increase in Campus Office-
designated property. Because demand cannot be predicted with complete accuracy very

far into the future, the 10.5 acres at the southwest comer of Area H is being shown as
having a flex designation of either GC or CO.
Area H is intended to work in harmony with the remainder of Dublin Ranch, especially
Area G. One of the premises on which the viability of the Village Center is based is that
a large percentage of its daytime activity will come from employees and visitors from
businesses in Area H. Therefore, whatever can be done from a physical design standpoint
to integrate the two areas would be beneficial to both. The Development Plan proposes to
achieve this goal by aligning the principal north-south access point into Area H with
Main Street of the Village Center within Area G. The concept is that the Village Center
would, in effect, be extended into Area H by designating the southwest and southeast
comers of the intersection as a "gateway" for uses which would directly complement
Area H businesses and employees. The northeast comer of Dublin Boulevard and the
Village Center Main Street is visualized as the site of an approximately 50 room
executive, extended stay hotel. It is likely that the majority of customers of this hotel
would be visitors to the office complexes in Area H and the adjoining office (CO)
properties to the east.
The primary north-south access point would generaIly serve as a dividing point between
the CO uses to the east and the generally GC areas to the west. The)8.7acre parcel at
the northwest comer of Area H would be the site for large format retailers. It could
attract freestanding uses such as large bookstores, office supply, electronics, etc. or a
community-serving shopping center with a supermarket anchor. The CO sector to the
east of this street could either be subdivided into smaller individual parcels for small
office building developers or kept intact as a campus for one or two large owner-users.
The 10.5 acre site at the southwest comer of Area H would serve either commercial or
office users depending upon area need.

Below, land use acreages and square footages depicted on the proposed Development
Plan are compared to the approved Specific Plan acreages and square footages. The two
alternatives are illustrated, one for the maximum GC and the other for the minimum GC
areas possible under this proposal. The following table uses a density mid-range of 0.45
FAR for the Stage I Development Plan CO uses, while a density mid-range of 0.35 FAR
is used for the Specific Plan CO uses. For GC, a 0.25 mid-range FAR is proposed in both
instances.

Specific Plan may be allowed as a Conditional Use if the following conditions are
met:
. Established traffic levels of service are not exceeded. Appropriate traffic
study( s) may be required to make the proper determination regarding traffic
levels of service;
. That the project is consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan and does not
result in adverse environmental or service impacts; and
. Residential uses may not occupy more than 50% of the developed area.
Neither this Development Plan nor the Specific Plan include schools, parks or other
public facilities since the plans for Area H are devoted exclusively to commercial and
campus office uses. However, since a certain number of employees from the area will
utilize nearby public parks, a per square foot public facilities fee for commercial and
office building construction has been established by the City to help pay for recreation
facilities.
Project Access and Circulation
The major east-west access to the Project Area will be from Dublin Boulevard, a six-lane
arterial. Secondary east-west access will be provided by an existing frontage road along
the north boundary of 1-580 that extends from Tassajara Road to approximately the
middle of Area H. The primary northlsouth access point to the Project Area would be the
southerly extension of Main Street. This connection will tie the Project Area to the
Village Center (immediately to the north in Area G) where many of the commercial uses
that will serve employees in the Project Area will be located. Secondary access point(s)
may be located at the Class II Collector B and Dublin Blvd. intersection andlor other
locations along Dublin Blvd. in accordance with the East Dublin Specific Plan and
Dublin General Plan standards and approved by the director of public work.
Circulation within the Project Area may be via a system of individual internal streets, a
collector loop, or some other system. However, the preference is for larger land users
since campus-type developments are more in line with the design concept envisioned for
Area H. Larger blocks of land would entail fewer public streets and these streets would
be replaced with internal private circulation systems. Whatever the case, the internal
street system will be created only as users are found.
An analysis has been prepared by TJKM to determine whether the proposed project land
use changes would have a greater impact on traffic levels than those shown in the Eastern
Dublin GPA1SP ElR. Because offices generate considerably less P.M. peak hour traffic
than do retail commercial uses and the P.M. peak is the critical traffic period for Eastern
Dublin, the analysis concluded the traffic impacts of this Development Plan would be less
than those anticipated by the Specific Plan even though more building square footage is
possible. For this reason, the traffic ramifications of the Area H Development Plan will
not require modification of the existing EIR or preparation of a new EIR. The TJKM
report can be reviewed at the City of Dublin.

East Dublin General Plan1Specific Plan Amendment
(P A 98-070)
Introduction
Dublin Ranch is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area and comprises
approximately 1,31 1* acres. The portion of Dublin Ranch that has been annexed to the
City of Dublin consists of 1,1 II acres. This Stage I Development Plan is being submitted
concurrently with a minor modification to the Dublin General Plan/East Dublin Specific
Plan Amendment. The 1,3 I I acre portion of Dublin Ranch was pre-zoned in
conformance with the East Dublin Specific Plan when it was annexed to the City under
P A 94-030. Therefore, this Development Plan will also serve as an amendment for a
minor modification to that prezoing. These modifications are addressed in a General Plan
and Specific Plan Amendment (P A 98-070) being processed concurrently with this
Development Plan.
Dublin Ranch Area H is bordered by the extension of Dublin Boulevard on the north,
Area C of Dublin Ranch to the east, 1-580 on the south and property of the Dublin Land
Company to the west. The project area is 70.8 acres in size. This area has two land use
designations, being General Commercial and Campus Office. The Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan shows 35.9 acres designated as General Commercial and 36.7 acres as
Campus Office. These acreages have been modified in this Stage I Development Plan to
propose 43.9 acres of Campus Office,J8,7acres of General COmmercial and the.
remaining 10.5 acres that could be developed as either all General Commercial or all
Campus Office.
The Development Plan Project Description for Area H describes the physical nature of
the area, existing land uses, the nature of the development proposed for it, and the
community theme. Please refer to that document for further information on this site.
Area H (PA 98-070) is a Stage I Development Plan as defined by Section 8.32.030(A) of
the Dublin Zoning Ordinance. This submittal includes a listing of pennitted and
conditionally permitted land uses; data on site area; proposed square feet; a phasing plan;
and textual information sufficient to establish consistency with the General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
Conceptual Development Plan
Specifically, the Development Plan proposes to increase Campus Office uses as either 7.2
acres or 17.7 acres above what is depicted on the Specific Plan (the difference being
whether the 10.5 acre GC/CO flex parcel is developed as Campus Office or not) and the
General Plan/East Dublin Specific Plan Amendment Prqject Description. Page / of6

Dublin RanchAreaH -December!! !998' RevisedJu!~e :!Q06___ -_
General Commercial area is being reduced by a like amount. In addition, the
Development Plan proposes that the midpoint of the density range of the floor area ratio
(FAR) for Campus Office uses be increased from .0.35 in the Specific Plan to .0.45, with
.6.0 FAR being the maximum of the range. This will allow the flexibility to exceed .45
FAR for some parcels; however, the average FAR for all CO parcels would not exceed
.45 FAR. These minor modifications create the necessity for this General PlaniSpecific
Plan Amendment (GPA1SPA).
This FAR revision would set a maximum oQI 8,.0.0.0 sq.ft.of GeneralCommerciaIwith
the "Least Office" scenario or a maximum of 1,.066,349 sq. ft. of Campus Office in the
"Most Office" scenario. However, in either scenario, the total square footage of any
combination ofGC and CO shall not exceed),269,992, For comparison,theEastDublin
Specific Plan has 39.0,951 square feet of General Commercial and 559,528 square feet of
Campus Office, for a total of 95.0,479 square feet. If the property is subdivided,
individual parcels may be developed at greater than their respective midpoint F ARs (.0.25
for GC and .0.45 for CO) as long as the overall square footage maximums are not
exceeded. For example, if19.2acresofGC~designated 1andisdevelopedanditis
subdivided into two parcels, one of those parcels could be developed at a FAR greater
than .0.25 as long as a corresponding decrease in the FAR on the other parcel kept the
overall building square footage at or below the maximum;l18,DD.o sq.n.figure,
The changes described above are the result of market assessment studies undertaken by
EDA W, Inc. for Area H that concludes that the 1-58.0 corridor is "over-zoned" for
regional/community-seIVing commercial uses. As mentioned in the Area G Development
Plan and GP A1SP A Project Descriptions, the corridor is saturated with large format,
specific market and full service retailers. Approximately 15.0 acres ofland intended for
such users are still available in the Specific Plan area, however, recent market srndies
show the buiIdout population of Eastern Dublin will not be at high enough levels to
warrant a commercial area of this size. Additionally, the market assessment indicates a
considerable demand at present for regional and headquarters office land. That need is
especially acute for large parcels of such land. It is for these reasons that the
Development Plan for Area H is proposing the flexibility to have either a 7.2 acre or 17.7
acre reduction in General Commercial and corresponding increase in Campus Office-
designated property. Because demand cannot be predicted with complete accuracy very
far into the future, the 1.0.5 acres at the southwest comer of Area H is being shown as
having a flex designation of either GC or CO.
Acreages allocated to designated land uses depicted on the proposed Development Plan
alternatives have been compared to the approved Specific Plan and are given below. The
two alternatives are illustrated, one for the maximum and the other for the minimum GC
and CO area acreages possible under this proposal. The following table uses a density
mid-range of .0.45 FAR for the Stage 1 Development Plan CO uses, while a density mid-
range of .0.35 FAR is used for the Specific Plan CO use. For GC a .0.25 mid-range FAR
is proposed in both instances. The square footage figures cited below establish the
maximum limits for the two options for Area H.

Project Circulation
An analysis has been prepared by TJKM to determine whether this project proposal
would have a greater impact on traffic than levels shown in the Eastern Dublin GP A1SP
EIR. Because office uses generate considerably less P.M. peak hour traffic than do retail1
commercial uses, and the P.M. peak is the critical traffic period for Eastern Dublin, the
analysis concluded the traffic impact of this Development Plan would be less than
anticipated by the Specific Plan, even though more building square footage is possible
with the Development Plan. For this reason, the traffic ramifications of the Area H

Development Plan will not require modification of the existing EIR or preparation of a
new E1R.
The table below compares the vehicle trips projected to be generated by the land uses
shown on the Development Plan with those predicted in the Specific Plan. The two
scenarios are given for the Development Plan, "Least Office" and "Most Office". The
former is based on the increase in Campus Office designated land of7.2 acres above what
is depicted on the Specific Plan and the latter on the increase of 17.7 acres. The mid-point
of the range, .45 FAR, was used to determine the square footage of the Campus Office
use. For GC, a 0.25 FAR mid-range is proposed in all instances.

Utility Services
Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) will provide water, wastewater and
recycled water service to the Project Area. These services are planned in accordance with
the DSRSD Eastern Dublin Facilities Master Plan (andJor subsequent revisions). At the
present time it is anticipated that existing and future water storage reservoirs and turnouts
from Zone 7 mains will provide water service for the Project Area through buildout.
Distribution mains are planned to be located in all streets. Final locations and sizing of
these facilities will be in accordance with the standards and recommendations ofDSRSD.
Sewer service for the Project Area will require connection to DSRSD's existing sewer
system. Gravity sewer mains will be extended easterly in Dublin Boulevard and then
northerly into the project site. Final sizing and location of sewer facilities will be
determined in conjunction with DSRSD.
When available from the DSRSD wastewater treatment plant, recycled water will be
provided for irrigation of landscaped areas, thereby reducing potable water demand. The
zones within which recycled water will be supplied will be created by DSRSD after
completion of ongoing studies. The details regarding how recycled water will be
integrated with development of the Project Area will need to be coordinated with
DSRSD. Final location and sizing of recycled water facilities will be determined by
DSRSD in accordance with its Facilities Master Plan (andJor subsequent revisions) and
the Recycled Water Ordinance. DSRSD has recently constructed a recycled water main
in the Dublin Boulevard alignment as part of its "Clean Water Revival (CWR)" program.
This main will remain in service and additional recycled water distribution mains will be
constructed to serve landscaped areas within the project site as required.
The storm drain system for the Project Area will consist of major backbone facilities and
local facilities. The backbone facilities will generally consist of larger diameter pipes
networked throughout the site. These larger collector pipes will connect to open channels
or box culverts that will direct the flow towards the existing G-3 channel, a Zone 7
facility located at the south end of the site. Local facilities will generally consist of
smaller diameter pipes connecting individual sites or areas to the collector system. The
actual sizes and locations of proposed storm drain facilities will be determined at an
individual project's tentative map stage.
The PD application modifies the type and location of proposed land use within the Area
F, G and H boundaries. To determine if there are any substantive changes to the timing
and amount of storm water runoff, a hydrology study of the proposed land use map was
prepared and compared to the hydrology of the Specific Plan land use map.
The results of this analysis indicate that the overall hydrologic characteristics of the
proposed PD site plan, dated July 1999, are nearly identical to the Specific Plan approved
in May of 1993. Using the runoff coefficients for various land uses published by Zone 7
and accepted by the City of Dublin, it is anticipated that the proposed land use plan will
have approximately one acre less of impervious surface than the original Specific Plan.

There are seven fewer acres of conunercial and office land use than the Specific Plan.
However, the additional acreage allocated for high density residential land use in the
proposed PD site plan will offset this reduction.
Therefore, the hydrologic impacts and mitigation measures identified in the
Environmental Impact Report (certified 1993) and the subsequent 1993 Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan (certified by City Council Resolution 5 I -93, May 4, 1993, amended August
22, 1994) are adequate. No additional environmental assessment or mitigation measures
are required.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN - AREA H
This is a Development Plan pursuant to Chapter 8.32 ofthe Dublin Zoning Ordinance for Dublin
Ranch 'Area H' PA 98-070, located north of 1-580, east of Tassajara Road and south of future
Dublin Boulevard (APN 985-0005-02). This Development Plan meets all of the requirements for
Stage t review of the project.
This Development Plan includes Site, Circulation and other Plans, exhibits and written statements
contained in a document dated received November 19, 1999, labeled Exhibit C-2 of Attachment 3, Area
H to the Ordinance approving this Development Plan (City Council Ordinance No. 6-00). and on file in
the Planning Department. The Planned Development District allows the flexibility needed to encourage
