SECTION I.
PlANNING & SITE DESIGN STANDARDS
1. SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (SDR)
These Design Standards are intended to provide the necessary framework for the
development of a future Site Development Review (SDR) submi"al(s) to the City of
Dublin for the Grafton Station Project, either for the overall Project Area or for separate
development projects on individual pad sites. While the theme and character for
Grafton Station has been defined to promote an a"ractive and harmonious
environment providing continuity throughout Grafton Street and adjacent streets which
make up the General and Village Commercial areas, the SDR will resolve detailed
issues reloted to the specifics of the design.
It is intended that this SDR process would encompass all sidewalk and landscaped
areas between the back of curb and the building face along Grafton Street and Dublin
Boulevard as well as the paseos, plazas, parking, private streets and drives and other
landscaped areos within the Project Area. Details that will be developed further in the
SDR include such items as the selection of specific paving materials, locations and
pa"erns, street furniture and accessories, entry monuments, sculptural elements,
planting areas and ownership/maintenance program.
Refer to the Grafton Station Conceptual Site Development Exhibit for additional
information regarding development boundaries and limits and location of specific
project elements. Refer also to Section II for Architectural Design Standards, Section III
for Color and Material Guidelines, Section IV for landscape Guidelines and Section V
for Signage Design Guidelines.

2. COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT STATEMENT & GOALS
Grafton Station is envisioned as an extension of the Village Center commercial
development along Grafton Street south of Dublin Blvd. As such, it also proposes to
continue selected elements of the design theme established in Area "G" by the Village
Center (now known as The Promenade at Dublin Ranch) along Grafton Street north of
Dublin Blvd. We therefore continue to draw upon the small towns of the Tri-Valley area
for the inspiration of the architecture and the small town community theme we seek to
establish in Grafton Station. In addition, the Grafton Station design concept
incorporates Generol Commercial uses, which are in keeping with the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan.
Such towns were found throughout Central and Northern California serving the
surrounding farms ond ranches. These towns provided the opportunity of a fulfilled life
for the community with the necessary shopping, housing, entertainment, education,
religious and medical services, as well as being the focal point for transportation and
civic needs of the local residents. The unique sense of place was nurtured and
achieved through a rich and varied architectural character developed over time, based
upon the local history of the communities.
Today the "Moin Streets" of some of these towns continue to draw people from the
surrounding larger, more modern urban and suburban commercial developments
because their pedestrian-oriented character ond small town scale offer more than just
necessary services. They provide a needed simplicity coupled with a greater sense of
community, which people seek today, just as they did a century ago.
The visual elements of these "Main Streets" appeol to both the people of the past and
present because they helped create 0 place with a sense of history in a community
environment in which people want to participate in, be part of and simply enjoy.
It is possible to identify many of the design elements which help create the "Main
Street" visual character. While the successful development of Grafton Station depends
on many considerations beyond the built environment, the implementation of these
standards and guidelines will help to provide an initial step in creating the physical
environment in which the retail development will live and thrive within the community it
serves.

3. GRAFTON STATION RETAIL CENTER
Introduction:
The Grafton Station Retail Center is located within Area H south of Dublin Blvd. at
Grafton Street and is 0 continuation of the Village Center to the north, which consists
of Grafton Street Retail, Commercial and the Residential Mixed-Use areas north of
Dublin Blvd. Adjacent future development to the east is currently slated for Campus
Office uses, however, on alternative mixed use development containing residential,
commercial and office elements may be proposed at that location. While some of the
components in this areo ore different in building type, activity ond scale, it is the goal
to hove development along Grafton Street south of Dublin Blvd. feel as 0 physical
continuation of the Village Center north of Dublin Blvd., but with its own distinct
identity os 0 retail destination.
These Standards include 0 description of design objectives and stylistic analogs to be
incorporated into the overall architectural concept for Grafton Station.
Grafton Station "Main Street" Character:
Grafton Station consists of two general types of commercial activities: Conventional
Retail and Commercial development, which would typically be characterized by
small scale stores, shops, offices, branch banks, restauronts, etc, and General
Commercial development, consisting of large scale Big Box Retail uses. The goal is to
maintain the feel of the small town pedestrian-oriented "Main Street" retail environment
for both types and scales of retail activity within Grofton Station. The elements that
typically define the "Main Street" character are:
Building Fac;:ade Forms, Details and Massing
Entrances and Stare Front Details
Walkways and Paving Materials
Streetscape Elements and Lighting
Landscape Elements
Street Parking
Color and Materials
Graphics and Signage
Utility and Service Locations and Access
These components are Fundamental to the creation of a successful "Main Street". They
must each be addressed in regard to design, locotion, scale and use.

Planning & Site Design Standards
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch. luly 2006
4. CONVENTIONAL RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Building Faljade, Forms Details and Massing is the primary means to establishing
the street character. The individual building with the design elements of walls, columns,
pilasters, fenestration, overhead shade structures, colonnades and roof forms can be
addressed in one of two ways; as a total building concept or as a collection of
concepts woven into a composition to make a complete building appear to be several
buildings connected together and possibly developed and adapted over time. Either
approach is acceptable. The choice should be made in pari based on the concept of
single or multiple users as well os the overall scale and size of the building.
Material and Color selections and applications shall be applied to reinforce a
building form, wall mass, an individual detail or a collection of design elements. The
location of materials should also determine material selections and application for their
durability in daily exposure to pedestrian activity and environmental conditions.
Materials should be chosen for being pedestrian friendly and in keeping with the
character of the Architectural Style (Refer to the Architectural Styles Guidelines -
Appendix I for additional informotion). Refer to Section III for Color and Material
Guidelines information.
Storefront and Entries shall be treated differently to reinforce the entrance by
recessing the doorways to prevent conflict with pedestrian traffic with doors opening or
closing. Sliding doors are not permitted along Grafton Street unless used as a
storefront to completely open a store fa<;ade to the street and remoin in a fixed open
position during business operation. Entry doors may be automatic or manually
operated. Storefront design shall be varied from store to store or based on a building
concept. Variety is desired over monotony or overly repetitive patterns and window
design.
Four-sided architecture is required. The side and rear facades of buildings in Grafton
Station will be actively used, therefore, they should have an appearance similar to a
"front" in regard to doors, windows, etc. Although the architectural treatment may be
simplified and vary according to function, these elevations should remoin consistent
through style, use of materials, colors and details.
Street Design Elements:
Street Character beyond the building edge is developed from streetscape elements,
such as walkway patterns and materials, furniture, lighting, signage, landscaping,
parking, service access and utilities location. The following is a brief overview and
discussion of design considerations. Refer to Section IV - Landscape Design Guidelines
and to Section V - Signage Design Guidelines for additional requirements.
Walkway patterns, color and/or materials shall be varied and used to denote entry
locations, special use areas, edges, and street crossings and to help create a sense of
scale and interest in the pedestrian pathway. Minimum walkway width shall be not less
than 12 feet. Encroachments may occur within this area, but shall not create a clear
walking area less than 8 feet minimum width.
1-5
Planning & Site Design Standards
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
Street Furniture shall be planned for and space provided for seating, outdoor dining,
information kiosks, bicycle racks, trash receptacles, clocks, newsstands or vending
boxes, postal boxes and traffic bollards. A detailed plan showing locations for these
elements is required at the time of submittal of specific site plans for Site Development
Review of building development proposals.
Lighting shall be provided for general walkway areas, paseos, plazas, courtyards,
landscape accents, storefront displays and entryways, and for building accents.
lighting fixtures should be designed for their specific purposes and may be wall
mounted, pole mounted, light bollards, recessed or suspended as appropriate.
Uniformity of design style or character is not required on the buildings but standord
streetlights shall generally match the design character, mounting heights ond spacing
established in the Village Center portion of Grafton Street (Area "G").
Signage shall conform to City ordinances and the Signage requirements set forth in
Section V - Signage Design Guidelines".
Landscape Elements may occur in several ways; street trees in tree wells protected
with metal tree well grates, plonter boxes af various sizes and shapes, raised planters
ar planter areas at grade. Overhead trellis structures, hanging plants or arbors are
allowable so long as minimum clearances are maintained in the pedestrion walkway
areas. Wall trellises for planting support is also acceptable for vine pockets at
buildings. Refer to Section IV for Landscape Design Guidelines information.
Street Parking on Grafton Street moy be parallel or angled parking where
appropriate. On-street parking allows for the convenience of short-term stops for
shoppers as well as providing a sense of an older, traditional "Main Street" and will
help act as a traffic-calming element as cars transition from Dublin Blvd. into the moin
parking area off Grafton Street. On-Street Parking shall be maintained as a free
parking zone (not metered) with a 45 min. time limit.
Utility, Mechanical, and Service Locations and Access shall be coordinated and
located to not be visually intrusive or obstruct pedestrian activity. These elements shall
not be located immediately adjacent to either Dublin Blvd. or Grafton Street and must
be adequately screened from public view. Where feasible, utilities shall be enclosed
in closets, rooms, wells, or screened from view by walls or landscaping.
Service access for the freestanding retail buildings on Grafton Street shall be located at
secondary elevations or at ends of buildings whenever feasible. Alternate locations for
access may occur from the parking lot side of the building with service entries
integrated into the overall character of the buildings but distinctly separated and
screened from the business entries.
The preferred location for trash facilities is to integrote them into the building design
such that they shall be secured and screened from public access and view. Trash
facilities shall conform to the current City Ordinances and water quality treatment
1-6
Planning & Site Design Standards
\
,
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
regulations. Where it is necessary for trash facilities to be freestanding elements, they
shall be located on the parking plan layout with proposed screening elements noted.
Mechanical systems for retail buildings shall be screened and secured from pedestrian
view and access and meet current City Ordinances. Fire safety equipment shall be
located in coordination with the local Fire jurisdiction and code requirements.
locations of equipment shall not conflict with public walkways and access.
Architectural Styles:
Historical references to Architectural Styles or detailing may be used, but contemporary
interpretations of styles or modern contemporary design are acceptable. The successful
design composition incorporates the proper use and application of materials, color
theory, proportion and human scale, program function, engineering and construction
practices. The end goal is to create a sense of place and not merely a place that
encloses space.
Architecturol Styles that moy be developed for the Grafton Station are as follows:
Italianate
Brick-Front
Romanesque
Arcaded Block
False-Front
Gable-Front
Artistic-Front
Modern Broad Front
Central California Vernacular
Mid-Century Modern
Post Modern
Refer to Appendix I for specific Architectural Style Guidelines.

5. GENERAL COMMERCIAL (BIG BOX) DEVELOPMENT
The single user program of the typical big box retail aften creates a problem of scale
and a general lack of Architectural diversity. In response to this, the following
principles are required be used in approaching the design of the shell:
The Principle of Building Massing:
Building Massing must be broken into three or more primary forms through changes in
volume, wall heights, roof forms, parapet heights and offsets in wall planes.
Color and materiol applications are used to reinforce and help define each of the
massing forms.
The Principle of Building Massing must be applied to all four elevations. In oddition
detailing used on primary elevations should be in part continued on other elevotions to
complete the building overall character(s).
Main Street Character:
The Main Street Character is typically lost in the large scale parking lots required to
support the retail activity of the big box retail programs. In oddition the lack of
streetscape elements and the scale of these buildings tends to destroy any Main Street
feel in part to the overall size but also the sameness in detail, wall surfaces and often
mega-scale details that reinforce the overall size of the building.
In response to this it is required that the following principles be used in developing the
exterior elevations and planning the site:
Entrances:
Entrances shall incorporate special forms, materials, signage and lighting to announce
their locations and function. Primary and secondary entries and exits should be treated
differently to recognize their function of arrival or departure as well as help create
diversity in the Building Facade.
Overhead Design Elements:
Overhead elements for shade and weather protection over defined walk areas are
required on 30% or more of the building fac;:ade. The application and details should
coincide or relate to the Building Massing changes. Awnings, canopies, roofed or
partially roofed arcades with columns are all acceptable solutions. The covered portion
should be wide enough to cover a clear walk area of 8 feet minimum. Overhead
design elements minimum height above finish grade shall not be less than 8'-0".
Walkways:
A required walkway in front of the entire building fac;:ade shall be a minimum of 12
feet in width. Design elements, column arcades and other street furniture may encroach
within this so long as a clear walkway not less than 8 feet is maintained. Walks should
have a variety of patterns and/or colors that reinforce the building massing, entry
conditions and boundary areas such as the walkway edge or a special function area
such as for outdoor displays or other activities.
1- 8
Planning & Site Design Standards
Graftan Station at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
Landscape Elements:
Adjacent to the walk areas between the walkway and the parking or driveways is an
area reserved for street tree and landscape planting. This area shall be a minimum of
6 feet. Street trees shall be protected by the use of metal tree well grates. Planter boxes
and or raised planters may also be used. Shape, sizes and color may vary. Bollards
may also be used to define and protect this landscape edge. Multiple pedestrian
access points are desiroble. landscaping and streetscape elements are not meant to be
a barrier to access or any loading areos. Refer to Section IV - landscape Design
Guidelines.
Streetscape Elements:
Streetscape elements such as benches, tables, lighting, clocks, postal boxes, trash
receptacles, signage, bicycle racks, display areas, and banners shall be incorporated
into the overall planning of the "Main Street" along the building facade. Signage shall
conform with the City ordinances and as referenced in the Section V - Signage Design
Guidelines.
Storefront Design:
Storefront window design is required to be included in the building design wherever
compatible with interior space functions. Alternate storefront design may use display
windows, glass block, false windows, or grille and wall patterns that simulate a
storefront window without being glazed. Detailing of false windows should reinforce
the concept of a storefront window by use of changes in wall surfaces, color and/or
materials behind the window grille pattern to reinforce the idea of a window where
none exists. Window potterns should be consistent with the actuol storefront windows.
Styles ond patterns may vory in response and support of the chonges in the building
massing forms.
Wall Materials:
Wall finish materials and colors should be varied for application locations and
differences in color in part to create variety and interest and smaller scaled elements,
but also used to reinforce the Building Massing concept. Material applications should
not be equally or uniformly distributed throughout the elevations but applied to create
elements of importance or to define a specific form or building mass. Applied details
need not be consistent throughout the building but varied to create interest and
differentiation in the building to give it more than one uniform character. This needs to
be done in a balanced way and not make the building overly busy or too fragmented
within the overall massing concept composition. Refer to Section III - Color and
Materials Guidelines.
Parking:
The scale of the parking required to support the big box single user retail activity or a
typical shopping center tends to destroy the "Main Street" character of the past.
Parking lots tend to be unfriendly to pedestrian traffic. The amount of paving and/or
parked cars creates a harsh desert-like environment. To mitigate this shade trees and
accent landscape elements are to be incorporated uniformly throughout the field of
parking. Formal pedestrian pathways shall be incorporated into the parking plan
wherever possible to provide direct access between the Big Box retail pads and the
1- 9
Planning & Site Design Standards
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
Conventional Retail uses along Grafton Street. Refer to Section IV-Landscape Design
Guidelines and the Conceptual Site Development Exhibit for additional requirements
and information.
Lighting:
Lighting sholl be provided for general walkway areas, parking areas, landscape
accents, storefront displays and entryways, and for building accents. Lighting fixtures
should be designed for their specific purposes and may be wall mounted, pole
mounted, light bollards, recessed or suspended os appropriate. Uniformity of design
style or character is not required on the buildings but standard streetlights sholl
generally match the design character, mounting heights and spacing established in the
Village Center portion of Grafton Street (Area "G"l. Parking area lights sholl be
uniform in character, style, mounting height and general spacing throughout the
parking areas.
Architectural Styles:
Historical references to Architectural Styles or detailing may be used, but contemporary
interpretations of styles or modern contemporary design ore acceptable. The successful
design composition incorporates the proper use and application of materials, color
theory, proportion and human scale, program function, engineering and construction
practices. The end goal is to create 0 sense of place and not merely 0 place that

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Building Concepts should be approached fram a basis of a
propased Architectural Style, the scale or size of the building
being contemplated and whether or not it is a single tenant use
or multiple tenant use building. From this the design may evolve
os a composition based on a single Architectural Style or os 0
collection of Architectural Styles. Variety and interesting forms
and details are encouraged.
Structure should be considered as an expressive element in the
design as it establishes the underlying rhythm of column bays,
storefront design, pilasters, fenestratian, and material and color
applications.
Materials and colors can create a sense of place and time
evoking interest through pattern, surface changes and detail.
Material selection and placement at the pedestrian levels shall
be made based on durability and authentic use and detail.
Elements above the pedestrian levels may incorporate synthetic
materials while still paying attention to detail and durability.
Material use and color shall be in keeping with the
Architectural Style.
Application of good design principles that incorporate
sensitivity to view corridors, scale, proportion, color theory,
lighting, storefront design, landscape design, historic
references, proper use of materials and integration with
modern construction practices are expected to be adhered to in
building development throughout Grafton Station. The goal is
to create a sense of place and community.

2. INTRODUCTION
The Grafton Station Retail Center consists of two types of retail
activity: Conventional Retail and Commercial and General
Commercial.
The Conventional Retail and Commercial is characterized by
smaller scale Conventional Retail stores and shops, restauronts,
offices, branch banks, etc. and typically are one or two story in
building height. These buildings generally occur along Grafton
Street, and Dublin Blvd. and can be single or multiple tenant
buildings.
The larger Big Box, General Commercial warehouse or a
single large square footage tenant charocterizes the General
Commerciol. Buildings are usually one story in height and
while primarily a single tenant user, multiple tenonts are
permissible and may occur in a Big Box format.
These Design Standards include a description of design
objectives and stylistic analogs to be incorporated into the
overoll architectural concept for Grafton Station and
distinguishes between the various types and scale of retail
activity from an Architectural viewpoint.
In this Section we will primarily concentrate on the Building
aspects of the "Main Street". But in the design of these
buildings the Site Planning goals must be kept in mind and
building forms need to respond or even create conditions to
allow for the other elements that make up the "Main Street"
environment.

Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch' July 2006
3. CONVENTIOANL RETAIL & COMMERCIAL
Building Design Concept:
Individual retail buildings may be designed as a single entity,
style or concept or composed as a collection of several smoller
buildings with varying styles and architectural treatments. The
overall composition of either approach shall provide for three
to seven changes in building massing and form with
corresponding changes in surfaces, wall offsets, roof and
parapet heights, fenestration, color and/or material
applications. Each building shall provide consistent
Architectural detailing on all visible sides, including reor
elevations. The principle of mass and form changes sholl apply
to all elevations.
Building Setbacks:
Buildings must be setback a minimum of 12 feet from the face
of curb at Grafton Street and parking areas. Within this 12 foot
setback, wolkways, street trees in grated tree wells,
encroochments by architectural projections, canopies, outdoor
dining, benches, lighting, trash receptacles, etc. may occur.
The building setback along Dublin Blvd. is not more than 20
feet from face of curb or less than 10' from the street ROW.
Walkways will not be wider than 12 feet along Dublin Blvd.
Additional orea remaining between wolkways and curb will be
for londscape uses, streetscope elernents and/or utilities.
Primary Building Facades:
The treatment of the building fac;;ade may be approached as a
single Architectural style building concept with articulation of
building mass, form, materials and color or as a collection of
buildings through changes in Architectural styles, materials and
colors. The latter approach may further the impression of a
place built and perhaps adapted over time establishing a sense
of history for Grofton Station.

long, monotonous uninterrupted walls or roof planes are not
allowed. Design techniques include incorporating wall offsets,
recesses, changing the exterior expression of the second Roor
plate line, and varying head and sill heights of windows, as
well as their shape and spacing.
Building offsets (12 inches minimum) shall be provided at least
every 75 feet or at changes in the storefront facade design.
This may be achieved by use of pilasters or columns, which
may encroach up to 24 inches into setback areas, or fOl;;ade
offsets thot increase the setback up to 15 feet maximum.
Setbacks greoter than 15 feet ore allowed to provide for
plazas, paseos ond courtyards for outdoor features ond
activities such as fountains, artwork, seating and/or dining
areas.
Where upper story windows occur they should be vertically
aligned or organized with the location of windows and daors
on the ground level in mind including starefrontor display
windows. These architectural fenestrations shall be compatible
with the style, materials, colors and details of the building.
All Grafton Station area buildings shall have a minimum front
facade height of 15 feet, with at least 40% of that focade
having a height of 20 feet or greater.
Material and color applications should be selected to evoke a
period in time where historic architecture references are being
used, and/or to reinforce a building mass or form, and ta call
attention to detail. Refer to Section III Color and Material
Guidelines for additional information.

Secondary Building Facades:
Grafton Station buildings along Grafton Street and Dublin Blvd.
will be visible from the sides and rear and should therefore
create the same sense of arrival and pleasing entry statement
found on the front facade. Side and rear elevations should be
articulated with an appropriate level of detail as front facades
and support the concept and requirement of four-sided
architecture.
Mixed-Use Building Facades and Entries:
Where second level offices or retail uses may occur over
ground level retail uses, the use of awnings or other overhead
structures extending from second floor facades are encouraged
to provide some separation and privacy for the second floor
occupants where they are not a part of the same tenant or
business activity. In mixed use buildings, where ground floor
commercial/retail uses and entrances for upper level offices
occur, entrances shall be highlighted by differences in facade
treatment, use of distinct but compatible exterior materials,
signs, awnings, and exterior lighting.
Entry Design:
Entrances to buildings fronting on Grafton Street and/or Dublin
Boulevard shall be articulated and defined by architectural
elements such as pilasters, columns, lintels, pedimenls, porches,
porticoes, balustrades, railings and overhangs, where
appropriate. These elements, when utilized, shall be
compatible with the architectural style of the building and its
materials, colors and details. Entries may be recessed or flush
with the main building fa9ade. Secondary entries shall be
articulated differently than main entries to denote their type of
function and/or importance. Sliding type entry door operation
is not permitted however swing door operation may not
encroach into pedestrian walkways where the walkway would
become less than B' clear. An exception to sliding door uses is

allawed where sliding doors are used to open an entry wall
face and remains open during business hours.
Slorefront Design:
At Conventional Retail buildings (Village Commercial) ground
floor building facades fronting on Grafton Street ore to be at
least 60% transparent window surface. Storefront design shall
encourage the use of colorful awnings or pedestrian orcodes
and pedestrian oriented store signs.
Encroachments:
Building Encroachments may occur within the minimum

Archileclural SIyIll$:
Historical references to Architectural Styles or detailing may be
used, but contemporary interpretations of styles or modern
contemporary design are acceptable. The successful design
composition incorporates the proper use and application of
materials, color theory, proportion and human scale, program
function, engineering and construction practices. Refer to
Appendix I for specific Architectural Style Illustrations
Roofs and Roof Forms:
Roofs are a dominant architectural element as viewed across
the street and from the surrounding area. Provide rooRine
offsets in order to add architectural interest and variety to the
massing of each building and to relieve the effect of a single,
long roof. Gable and/or hipped conditions may be used to
add variety and interest to the skyline. Roof types should be in
keeping with the character of the architecture. Parapet roofs,
varied in height and design, are an appropriate solution to
provide opportunities for architectural enhancement and
transitional heights belween buildings or changes in massing.
Architectural elements such as dormers, belvederes, chimneys,
cupolas, clock towers and other elements, which add visual
interest to roofs, are encouraged in keeping with the
Architectural Style.

"Gateway" Archileclure:
Buildings with dominant building styles and/or greater height
shall be designed far the Grafton Station Gateways (corners of
Grafton Street and Dublin Boulevard in order to emphasize the
importance of these "entries" to Grafton Station. Appropriate
scale and facade treatments include multi-story and/or stepped
facades with "front" facades on all visibly exposed sides.
Vertical elements, upper story balconies, towers or unique
architectural features are used at these corners to aid in
attaining a sense of arrival and place. Architecture may be
recessed or extended into these prominent corners to provide
public plaza spaces.

Comer and Mid-Block Conditions:
Buildings located at major and minor street intersections will
have at least two front facades visibly exposed to the street.
Two story andlar stepped facades or special Architectural
design elements are encouraged at these corner locations to
further emphasize corners. Vertical architectural elements, such
as carner towers, and added embellishments, such as flags or
fountains, also may contribute to the special nature of these
locations.
Squares, courts, plazas, building recesses andlar colonnades
at mid-black and carner locations are desirable for variety and
visual relief to the street. At least one pedestrian Paseo between
buildings must be developed to connect the parking area to
Grafton Street.
Building Separotion and Plazas:
Provide a minimum of 20 feet between individual buildings.
Pedestrian passageways or paseos between buildings shall
provide a minimum clear walkway of 8 feet. Encourage the
development of sidewalk cafes and indoor I outdoor restaurants
by providing recessed storefronts and building offsets or
orientations to promote pedestrian interaction along Paseos.
landscaped elements shall be incorporated into the plazas and
paseos.
Special Considerations:
The building designs shall consider and provide for location of
signs along Grafton Street oriented toward pedestrians rather
than the automobile. Refer to Section V-Signage Design
Guidelines.
Screen all loading docks and service areas from public streets
and adjacent land use views. These facilities should be
incorporated into the building architecture.

Building Design Concept:
Individual retail buildings may be designed as a single entity,
style ar concept or composed as 0 collection of several smaller
buildings with varying styles and architectural treatments. The
overall composition of either approach shall provide for three
to seven changes in building massing and form with
corresponding changes in surfaces, wall offsets, roof and
parapet heights, fenestration, color and/or material
applications. Each building shall provide consistent
Architectural detailing on all visible sides, including rear
elevations. The principle of mass and form changes shall apply
to all elevations.
Building Setbacks:
Big box retail buildings are required to have a minimum
building setback of 12 feet from the face of curb at the drive
aisle or parking area. Building setbacks greater than 12 feet
are permissible to establish special outdoor use areas. A clear
walkway width of 8 feet minimum must be maintained.
Within this 12 foot setback from face-ol-curb to the building
face, walkways, street trees in grated tree wells, encroachments
by architectural projections, canopies, outdoor dining,
benches, lighting, trash receptacles, etc. shall occur. A clear
walkway width of 8 feet minimum must be maintained.
Buildings adjacent to Dublin Blvd. and without intervening
parking areas shall be setback not more than 20 feet from face
of curb ar not less than 10 feet from the street ROW.
Walkways will not be wider than 12 leet or less than 8 feet
along Dublin Blvd. Additional area remaining between
walkways and curb will be far landscape uses, streetscape
elements and/or utilities.

Primary Building Facades:
Long, monotonous uninterrupted walls or roof planes are not
allowed. Design techniques include incorporating wall offsets,
recesses, changing the exterior expression of the roof or
parapet line, and varying head and sill heights of storefrant
windows, as well as their shape, spacing and detailing.
Building offsets (12 inches minimum) shall be provided at least
every 100 feet or at changes in the storefront facade design.
This may be achieved by use of pilasters or columns, which
may encroach up to 24 inches, or fa~ade offsets that increase
the setback up to 15 feet maximum. Setbacks greater than 15
feet are allowed only at plazas to provide for outdoor activities
such as display or dining areas. Entry arcades and arcaded
walks may also be used in meeting this requirement of fa~ade
offsets. Refer to encroachments listed below for additional
information regarding arcaded walks.
Upper clerestory windows should be vertically aligned with the
location of windows and doors on the ground level, including
storefront or display windows. These architectural fenestrations
shall be compatible with the style, materials, colors and details
of the building.
The treatment of the front fa~ade may be developed as a single
building concept with changes in massing and forms or as
though the single building were a collection of buildings with
changes in Architectural styles, materials and colors that may
further the impression of a place built and adapted over time.
All Grafton Station area buildings shall have a front facade
with a minimum height of 15 feet, with at least 40% of that
facade having a height of 20 feet or greater and a maximum
height of 45'. Maximum height of Building to a roof ridgeline
or tower element is 65' .
2004580

Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch' July 2006
Secondory Side and Rear Facades:
Grofton Station Big Box buildings will be visible fram the sides
and rear. Side and rear elevations shall be articulated with a
simplified level of detail consistent with primary front facades.
Side and rear facades generally will contain service areas and
shall be screened from public areas as well as integrated into
the building design to the extent possible. Screening elements
may include walls and fences as well as Landscape elements.
Lighting in these areas should be addressed for aesthetics as
well as function and prevent light pollution from occurring on
adjacent properties.
Entry Design:
Entrances to buildings fronting parking areas or Dublin
Boulevard shall be articulated and defined by architectural
elements such as pilasters, columns, lintels, pediments, arcades,
canopies, porticoes, and roof overhangs, where appropriate.
These elements, when utilized, shall be compatible with the
architectural style of the building and its materials, colors and
details. Entries may be recessed or flush with the main building
fa~ade. Entry door operation may be swinging or sliding type
doars, however door operation may not encroach into
pedestrian walkways where the walkway would become less
than 8 feet clear.
Slorefront Design:
At Big Box Retail buildings (General Commercial) Storefront
window design is required to be included in the building
design wherever compatible with interior space functions.
Alternate storefront design may use display windows, glass
block, false windows, or grille and wall patterns that simulate a
storefront window without being glazed. Detailing of false
windows should reinforce the concept of a storefront window
by use of changes in wall surfaces, color and/or materials
behind the window grille pattern to reinforce the idea of a
2004580
11-19

Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch' July 2006
window where none exists. Window potterns should be
consistent with the actual storefront windows. Styles and
patterns may vary in response and support of the changes in
the building massing forms. A total of 30% of the length of the
building 109ade sholl contain glazed elements with a minimum
window head height of 8 feet and 0 maximum sill height of 4'.
Holf of the required glazing may consist of clerestory windows
occurring above 8 feet with a minimum window height of 2
feet. Glazing does not need to be evenly distributed across the
building fa9ade but may be grouped ot entries or other discrete
locations. Wall openings and open fencing or wall grilles that
remain open on 0 full time bosis during business hours can also
be counted as fulfilling part of the required wall glazing for up
to 50% of the totol required glazing.
Overhead Delign Elements:
Overhead elements for shode and weother protection over
defined walk areas are required on 30% or more of the
building fa9ade. The application and details should coincide or
relate to the Building Massing changes. Awnings, canopies,
roofed or partially roofed arcades with columns are all
acceptable solutions. The covered portion should be wide
enough to cover a clear walk area of 8 feet minimum.
Overhead design elements shall not be less than 8 feet in
height above finish grade.

COLOR AND MATERIALS
Colors and Materials Overview
Effective use of colors and materials will promote an
underlying sense of old town character with dynamic variety
to create a visually stimulating environment at Grafton
Station, Dublin Ranch Area 'H'. Variety in texture hue and
value are the keys to avoiding undesirable monotony.
Each architectural theme shall utilize appropriate historic
references for colors and materials selections. When
contemporary building materials are intended to replicate
those from yesteryear, colors should be used within the tonal
ranges from history's originals. For instance, concrete'S'
tile should be used in the terra cotta hues found in clay roof
tile.
To provide unity at Grafton Station, Dublin Ranch Areo 'H'
all color palettes shall hove a dominant theme of warm,
nature-based hues combined harmoniously with cool, vibront
accents. Warm colors are defined as those found in the
spectral range between purple, red and yellow or those
colors that are influenced by red and yellow. Cool colors
ronge between green and blue or those colors inRuenced by
blue.
Colors and materials applications should be applied with an
emphasis on contrast. Different building materials will be
visually highlighted with deliberate placement of smoother
surfaces adjacent to those with rougher textures. Roof
planes should vary from wall planes in texture and color to
ovoid a monolithic appearance. Colors should be applied
strategically providing well-designed use of contrast in hue
and value to create a visual hierarchy. Value is defined as
2004580
111-'
Color And Materials
Grafton Station ot Dublin Ranch' July 2006
the relative lightness or darkness of a color compared
agoinst the gray scale. Architectural elements of greatest
importance, such as main entrances, shall receive the
highest contrast for dominance. Secondary architectural
features should be downplayed by the use of lower contrast.
Each architectural vernacular included in the Grafton
Station, Dublin Ranch Area 'H', General Commercial Design
Guidelines has its own unique colors and materials
vocabulary that assist in further defining the theme. The
polenes suggested for each architectural vernacular should
be the foundation for colors and materials selections within
that theme.
ltalianale:
Brick and stone quoins, decorative cornices, lintels and
pilasters with elaborate capitals are all hallmarks of the
Italianate style. Floral motifs, rosenes and anchor irons were
also common historic elements. Where brick and stone occur,
emphasis should be placed upon them through the use of
contrasting adjacent surfaces. Brick and stone should be rustic
in texture and earthy in color. Areas of stucco, for Italianate
architecture, offer an exciting color opportunity for the dark,
saturated, worm hues of southern Europe. Pre<ast concrete
details, or those intending to mimic them, should be used in
tones that replicate the natural colorations created by sand,
cement and water. Bronze or black tones are appropriate for
decorative metal accents.
Brick.front:
As its nome implies, Brick-Front architecture relies on a
predominant use of brick as the main building material.
Ornamental accents of stone or pre<ast concrete are
appropriate and add visual interest. The use of different types
of brick and multiple brick coursing techniques are
2004580
11I-2
Color And Materials
Grafton Stotion at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
encouraged to heighten the textural and tonal variation. Brick
that is uniform in color and machined with no texture should
be limited in use as only minor accents. The dominant hue for
Brick-Front should be red ranging from yellow-based terra
collas to bluer influenced burgundies. Neutral toned bricks
may be used as accents.
Romanesque:
Coursed, rock-faced sandstone blocks, stone and brick are the
main materials that define the Romanesque style. When
designed primarily with stone or brick, the opposite material
should be used for trim. Brick can be simple or ornamental
with geometric designs. Stone should be block-like and not
irregularly shaped. Stucco or siding may be used in
combination with more traditional appearing Romonesque
materials. Historic Romanesque buildings were often banks
or public buildings implying a formality that should be
maintained ond translated through the appropriate use of
materials and colors. Richness in texture and the use of
neutral, naturally occurring colors should be employed to
achieve dignified sophistication.
Areaded Block:
Arcaded Block architecture borrows from the Romanesque the
same characteristic use of stone blocks or bricks with the
addition of arches or arcades as the dominant design feature.
Eclectic combinations of classical and picturesque elements
such as spires, metal roofs and canvas or metal awnings
further define this style. Stucco walls may be employed as a
port of the materiol mix with buildings grounded by the look
of a masonry base. The variety of materials utilized should
be accentuated by the use of different colors between them.
The overall palelle for Arcaded Block will blend neutrol,
natural masonry colors with vibrant hues, both warm and
cool, as accents.
2004580
11I-3
Color And Materials
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
False-Front:
With its association in the settlement of the West, the
vernacular of False-Front is inherently basic. Characteristic
moterials used for these first commercial buildings include
clapboard, board and batten or brick. Modern interpretations
can include wainscots made of wood paneling, masonry,
metal, tile or stucco. Simplicity is key in the use of materials
and colors for False-Front. Machined or industrial looking
materials are to be avoided. Colors should be predominantly
warm and eorth-toned in light to dark values avoiding
relationships of extreme contrast.
Gable-Front:
Gable-Front buildings of yore, with their rural setting and
everyday use for hardware, feed and general stores are most
casual in concept. Clapboard, wood siding, stucco and
masonry can be used with wooden brackets at gables and a
dominant signboard. Contemporary elevations may also
utilize tile, metal or wood paneling at wainscots. Unodorned
informality is the goal for material applications. The full
spectrum of color may be employed without undue complexity
or sophistication to create on informal oppeal.
Artistic-Front:
Characterized by its residential, cottage nature, the Artistic-
Front includes decorative bases of stucco or masonry with
wood detailing. Walls can be stucco or various siding types.
Combinations of different materials should be used with an
emphasis on textural contrast os the main focus. Random
shaped stone and rustic, hand-molded brick are suitable for
Artistic-Front elevations. Dynamic color combinations that are
nature based will translate the attention getting design intent
of Artistic-Front retail architecture.
2004580
11I-4
Color And Materials
Graftan Station at Dublin Ranch. July 2006
Modem Broad Front:
This double-width, single story, storefront, architectural style,
as the name implies, requires design elements that visually
assist in broadening the front of the building and creoting
openness. Brick cladding and pre-cast ornamentation are
direct historic references. Contemporary interpretations can
include stucco, tile, masonry or metal wainscoting ond convas
or metal awnings. Modern materials that are industrialized in
appearance are most appropriote. Thin window mullions will
assist in increasing the visual width of elevations. The usual
colors of industrial and raw materials should be the basis for
Modern Broad Front color palettes.
Central California Vernacular:
The residential feel inherent to the late 19th century Central
California Vernacular is facilitated by the use of materials
reminiscent of those found on the homes of this period in
agricultural communities. Wood shake or composition
roofing, indigenous-looking stone, used brick and wood
siding are all appropriate to communicate this style. Colors
can vary, warm to cool and light to dark. Color combinations
should exhibit variety that is more subdued than flamboyant.
Mid Century Modern:
The sleek simplicity of the Mid Century Modern style requires
only a limited palette of materials. Roofing materials should
not be mixed. Restrained combinations of tile, metal, stucco,
glass block, masonry and wood siding may be used.
Materials should maintain overall geometric lines with an
emphasis on a machined and not naturally procured
appearance. Subdued color palettes in predominantly neutral
tones are most appropriate.
2004580
11I-5
Color And Materials
Graftan Station at Dublin Ranch' July 2006
Post Modern:
The Post Modern style provides the greatest opportunity for
exuberont use of color and material combinations. A wide
range of building materials can be implemented including
stucco in varying textures, masonry in angular shapes, wood
siding and tile. The mix of materials should be lively.
Saturated color in primarily warm tones with high-contrast
combinations is thematically correct.
Submittal Requirements and Review:
Color and materials submittals are required for the Specific
Design Review. Submittals must consist of samples that
accurately represent the textures and colors proposed for the
essential components of the exterior elevations including, but
not limited to, visible roof materials, stucco, siding, masonry,
pre-cast, storefront, windows, doors, trim and accent colors os
well as significont architectural details like shutters, awnings
and decorative metal. Mounted color and moterial samples,
clearly labeled and mounted on boards, no larger than 24" x
36", will be accepted for review. Colored elevations, cross
referenced to the samples are also required.

SECTION IV
LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
1. VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
Principal Entry
The Grafton Street right-oF-way is the principal vehicular access
route within the Project Area. It extends two blocks south From
Dublin Boulevard and divides Area H into two sections with Grafton
Station to the west and Future Campus Office uses to the east. The
Water Quality Treatment Basin is to the south. Grafton Station
provides opportunities for pedestrian circulation in addition to
vehicles.
Building and Site Access
Grafton Street provides the main connection From Dublin Boulevard
to Conventional Retail and Commercial pads B, C-], C-2, D, E-]
and E- 2 along Grafton Street itselF; and to Anchor A and Pad A to
the west. It also is one of the streets which serve the Water Quality
Treatment Basin and the Future Campus Office site.
Street Organization
The northem portion of Grafton Street at Dublin Boulevard has a
median to facilitate traffic movements by dividing the one south-
bound lane From the three north-bound lanes. The southem portion
of Grafton Street narrows to one lane in each direction, with
diagonal parking serving the shops which open onto the street.
Grafton Street terminates at a traffic circle and adjacent plaza with
large trees, outdoor seating areas, public art and a fountain. This
plaza also serves as a pedestrian access point to the Water Quality
Treatment Basin.
Connections From Grafton Street
From Grafton Street there are three vehicular connections to the east
and west. Two connections extend west From Grafton Street to
parking lots serving the retail building pads. The primary one is a
private interior lane lined with trees that divides Grafton Station into
two halves and breaks down the scale of the development. This lane
provides rnotorists direct access to all parking lots and buildings.
The second connection to the west From the Grafton Street is at the
traffic circle and provides a more direct access to Anchor A, as well
as Pads E-] and E- 2. The third connection from Grafton Street is a
future street extending east From the traffic circle to the Water
Quality Treatment Basin and the Campus Office site.
Other Auto and Delivery Connections From Dublin Blvd.
From Dublin Boulevard there are two vehicular connections besides
Grafton Street. One is an auto connection which goes directly to
Pad A and Anchor A. The other is for large delivery trucks.
IV-2
landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton Station ot Dublin Ronch . July 2006
Ingress and egress for delivery trucks serving Anchor A and Pad A
is provided directly off Dublin Boulevard at the northwest comer of
the site. Delivery vehicles use a 35' wide driveway behind Anchor
A and Pad A for access to loading docks. A loop around the outer
edges of the Anchor A parking lot with a minimum 15' wide travel
lane in each direction is provided for trucks to turn around and exit
the site at the same location they entered from Dublin Boulevard.
Trucks making deliveries to Anchor A and Pad A are not allowed to
use Grafton Street.
Connections From Northside Drive
From Northside Drive, the frontage road parallel to the freeway,
there is an additional access point which bridges over the linear
bioswale, which serves to treat storrnwater runoff from the Project
Area.
(See Overall Key Plan for further information in the Grafton Slation
proiect site.)
2. GENERAL DESIGN STRATEGIES
Mixing Autos and Pedestrians
Grafton Station is part of Area H of Dublin Ranch, which includes
plans for future residential, campus office and commercial uses. In
addition to serving the larger Dublin community, which will access
the site by car, Grafton Station will serve local residents as well as
business and office workers who will be able to walk to shopping
and services.
Traffic Calming
Landscaping will be used to encourage pedestrian usage while
accommodating and slowing cars. Starting on Grafton Street at the
Project Site entry at Dublin Boulevard, sidewalks and plazas will
include concrete unit pavers, closely spaced street trees and grates,
fountains, public art and pedestrian scale lighting.
Traffic calming devices within Grafton Station include:
. Dublin Boulevard/Grafton Street comer entry plaza at Pads B
andC-l
. Concrete unit pavers in crosswalks
. Courtyards with seating and landscaping at other Grafton Street
intersections
. Traffic circle with public art and plantings
. Plaza at Pads E-l and E-2
. Pedestrian connections and trees in parking lots
Identity
In order to create a cohesive and unified identity within Grafton
Station, there will be consistency and compatibility between
IV-3
Landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch . JulY 2006
architecture and landscape by using a simple and limited palelle of
construction materials, site lighting, furnishings, paving and plant
materials. Street and building signage shall conform to the Master
Signage Program prepared by the GNU Group for Grafton Station.
In addition to the master signage program, buildings at the
intersection of Grafton Street and Dublin Boulevard will have taller
architectural elements on the corners to announce arrival at Grafton
Station.
A fountain with bubblers and accent lighting will be located in the
sidewalk area between Grafton Street and Pad B.
Site Planting Concept
The landscape concept is expressed primarily through the use of
street trees, which establish a hierarchy of spaces and provide the
much needed shade:
. The parkway on Dublin Boulevard is planted with a staggered
double raw of large deciduous trees which continues the
landscape treatment which has already been established.
. Grafton Street sidewalks are planted with the large flowering
Robinias which continues the same tree anticipated from the
northern portion of Grafton Street within the Village Center,
while the median is planted with a smaller flowering accent
tree. The traffic circle has a ring of low shrubs and ground
cover that circle the public art; and possibly a ring of trees.
. Metal tree grates are provided for all trees planted in paved
areas and along street frontages, and are to be a minimum of
6' square.
. The large plaza at the end of Grafton Street is also planted with
a grid of Robinia trees, with water feature, low hedges and
seating for outdoor dining.
. The parking lots have four types of trees - one for shading
cars, one for shading pedestrian walkways, one to mark the
interior ease-west street which divides the main parking lot in
two, and one that marks the vehicular circulation on the
perimeter.
. There are evergreen screening trees and understory shrub
plantings to block the view of the back of Anchor A from the
south and west.
. There are riparian plantings in the bioswale associated with
stormwater management parallel and adjacent to the freeway.
3. GRAFTON STATION MAIN ENTRY
Intersection of Grafton Street and Dublin Boulevard
Pad B on the south western corner of the Grafton Street/Dublin Blvd.
intersection is set back to provide an "entrance" or a "gateway" to
Grafton Street with a low fountain and signage which is unique
IV-4
Landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton Slotion at Dublin Ronch . JulY 2006
relative to other locations in Dublin Ranch, yet within the consistent
pallette of materials used throughout Area H.
Landscape Treatment
The Dublin Boulevard street tree will continue in front of Pad B to the
corner of Grafton Street, with additional shrubs facing Dublin Blvd.
These additional plantings will be placed to complement the
building's architecture, retail entries and windows.
Paving Materials
Unit pavers on sand with a simple geometric pattern, including 2
contrasting but subdued colors, will match the paving used
throughout the main shopping areas. The entry band of enhanced
paving, consisting of matching unit pavers and concrete restraining
edges will be used at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard to serve as
a threshold leading into Grafton Station.
(See Grafton Street Enlargement Sheets 1 and Z and Entry Plaza
Enlargement Sheet, for further information on Grafton Sfreet.)
4. GRAFTON STREET LANDSCAPE
Paving for Sidewalks and Crosswalks
Grafton Street will have a 12' minimum wide sidewalk with the face
of buildings typically located at the back of the sidewalk. In some
locations, the buildings will be located further than the 12' minimum
from the back of curb. Sidewalks along both sides of Grafton Street
will be paved with the same 2 color concrete unit pavers frorn back
of curb to the face of the buildings, as will adjacent courtyards,
crosswalks, and a collar around the traffic circle.
Crosswalks paved with concrete unit pavers and concrete restraining
edges are located at all of the intersections on Grafton Street
providing pedestrians with connections to retail buildings as well as
adjacent Campus Office uses and the Water Quality Treatment
Basin.
Planting
In order to connect with Grafton Street north of Dublin Boulevard,
Grafton Street is planted with the same deciduous, flowering
Robinia 'Idahoensis' street tree at approximately 30' on center, in
cast iron tree grates. In areas where the building face is further
from the back of curb than the 12' minimum, there will be
additional pots and/or planters with shrubs and ground cover.
The landscape median that divides the north and south bound travel
lanes on the first block of Grafton Street will be planted with a
smaller flowering accent tree, with low shrubs and ground cover.
(See Recommended plant PaleRe on the Overall Key Plan.)
IV-5
Landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton SIation at Dublin Ranch . JulY 2006
Site Amenities
Furnishings and colors shall be standardized throughout Grafton
Station. Bicycle racks, trash receptacles and benches shall be used
at building entries in a similar style as other such street furnishings
at the Village Center across Dublin Boulevard.
Lighting standards along Grafton Street and the two entry streets
between Pad buildings shall be the same as used on Grafton Street
north of Dublin Boulevard in the Village Center. Fixtures shall be
100 walt metal halide on a 14' pole with a single luminaire
mounting arm. Fixtures shall be spaced at 60' - 90' on center and
aligned in pairs instead of staggered along the street.
5. PLAZA AND TRAFFIC CIRCLE AT SOUTH TERMINATION OF
GRAFTON STREET
Plaza at Pads E-l and E-2
At the end of Grafton Street is the large shaded plaza on the north
side of building E- 2 which fronts onto the traffic circle and
terminates Grafton Street. It is large enough to relate to the scale of
the traffic circle, and is also divided to make smaller areas for
outdoor dining, pedestrian circulation and casual seating with a
fountain and low hedges.
Paving Materials
Paving materials may be a combination of concrete unit pavers and
colored, sandblasted concrete to match other Grafton Station open
spaces.
Planting
Low shrub plantings at the southern edge of the traffic circle provide
a screen between the plaza and outos on Grafton Street. A bosque
of large shade trees in cast iron tree grates provide a cool, leafy
space for outdoor seating.
Amenities
A series of connected water features with bubblers and accent
lighting will be located in the plaza, and will be similar in design to
the fountain in the entry plaza at Grafton Street and Dublin
Boulevard. With the plaza's proximity to 1-580 to the south, the
water feature's design should include jets and bubblers that will
mask some of the highway noise for plaza users.
A massive concrete, wood and steel trellis is suggested in four
locations around the traffic circle. This trellis will help to define the
traffic circle at the end of Grafton Street, and provide an additional
layer of separation between the plaza and Grafton Street.
IV-6
Landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton Slotion at Dublin Ranch . JulY 2006
Public Art
Public Art will be located in the center of the traffic circle at the
termination of Grafton Street on an elevated platform. The
landscape concept will be designed to work with the public art, and
may be surrounded by a ring of large trees.
(See Traffic Circle Enlargement Sheet for further information.)
6. ENTRY STREETS TO PARKING LOTS
Street Design Concept
The northern entry street off Grafton Street that divides Pads C - 2
and D, and extends into the parking lots between Anchor A and
Pad A will consist of one travel lane in the west-bound direction and
two travel lanes in the east-bound direction. A landscape median is
located between the two directional lanes. As this is a significant
access point, the Pad buildings have a generous 20' wide minimum
sidewalk to separate cars from buildings, and to provide
opportunities for pedestrian circulation and for reloil uses at Pad D
to spill out onto the sidewalks.
The southern Entry Street that connects the traffic circle with the
Anchor A parking lot will consist of one 1 2' wide travel lane in each
direction of travel. This rood divides the Pad buildings D and E- 1
along Grafton Street and both sides shall have extremely wide
sidewalks to encourage retail uses from Pads D and E- 1 to spill out
onto the sidewalks.
Planting
The predorninant feature of both entry streets are the double rows of
evergreen street trees with low shrubs and seating. Trees are
planted in metal tree grates at approximately 20' on center. The
large areas from building to back of curb allow for layers of
landscaping to define smaller scaled spaces for outdoor seating,
dining or shopping.
In order to define the northern entry street as it extends west post
Grafton Street Pad buildings to divide the two parking lots for
Anchor A and Pad A, a wide planting island is proposed on both
sides of the street to be planted with a large accent tree at
approximately 40' on center, with medium height, evergreen shrubs
to screen parked cars in adjacent lots.
Paving Materials
Sidewalks along entry streets will be paved with the same concrete
unit pavers from back of curb to the foce of the retail buildings to
match sidewalks along Grafton Street. Crosswalks located at all of
the intersections along both entry streets shall be paved in concrete
unit pavers to match sidewalks with concrete restraining edges.
IV-7
landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton Sto~on at Dublin Ranch . JulY 2006
Lighting
lighting standards along Entry Streets between Grafton Station Pad
buildings shall be the same as what is used on Grafton Street.
Fixtures shall be 100 walt metal halide on a 14' pole with a single
luminaire and mounting arm. Fixtures shall be spaced at 60' - 90'
on center and aligned in pairs along both sides of the street instead
of staggered along the street. Fixtures in the landscape median
shall be 100 walt metal halide on a 14 pole with double luminaire
and mounting arms. light Poles shall be painted to match other site
Furniture within the Grafton Station Project Site.
(See Entry Street Enlargement Sheets 1 and 2 for fvrther
information.)
7. PARKING LOTS
Parking Layout
Parking spaces in both lots are laid out with a repeating module of
three standard sized spaces adjacent to two compact spaces.
Parking spaces include the City of Dublin standard parking space of
9' wide by 20' deep, a compact parking spoce of 9' wide by 17'
deep, and a handicapped parking space of 9' wide by 20' deep
with a striped loading zone of at least 5' wide by 20' deep.
Parking spaces in both lots take advantage of a 2' overhang into a
landscape planting island. This allows for less paving, more
landscape, and a more eFFicient parking lot layout.
Landscape Treatment
Each of the landscape planters adjacent to pairs of compact spoces
is at least 16' wide and 10' deep and is planted with a large
deciduous canopy tree, shrubs and ground cover. Landscape
planting islands are bordered with Rush concrete curbs on all sides.
Where islands abut parking spaces, a 6" raised concrete curb
extend across halF of each parking space to act as a wheel stop,
and to allow parking lot runoFF to be Filtered by the planters. The 6"
raised concrete curbs are also located on the outside edge of all
landscape planting islands Facing the vehicular drive aisles.
Each parking aisle is terminated with a 36' long landscape planting
end island planted with two large accent trees, shrubs and ground
cover. There are also unique, enlarged landscape planting islands
through both lots, which are more heavily planted with trees, shrubs
and ground cover plantings to modulate the scale of the parking lot.
Along the southern edge of the parking lot serving Anchor A, there
are enlarged landscape planting areas at the termination of drive
aisles that run in the north-south direction. These planting areas will
be planted with large scale evergreen trees which will eventually
accent the southern edge of the lot and soften the views For
motorists.
IV- 8
Landscape Design Guidelines
Grafton Station at Dublin Ranch . Ju/Y 2006
(See Parking lot at Duhlin Boulevard Enlargement Sheet
Handicapped Parking enlargement Sheet and Parking lot
Enlargement Sheet for further information.)
Parking lot lighting
Parking lots shall be lighted with both single and double 180 degree
mounted fixtures on 30' high poles. Fixtures shall have double
tension mounting arms. Lights will be 400 walt super metal halide.
Fixtures are approximately 80' apart and placed in each parking lot
parking aisle and in locations around parking lot perimeter. Light
poles shall be painted to match other site furniture within the
Grafton Station Project Site.
Paving Materials
Parking lots are to be paved in asphalt and striped per City design
standards. Handicapped parking spaces, loading zones and
crosswalks are improved at building entries with unit pavers with
concrete restraining edges to define autocourt areas to slow traffic
and improve parking lot appearance.
Pedestrian Connections
Each parking lot in the Grafton Station Project Site will have at least
one 16' wide landscape planting aisle that contains a 5' wide
concrete pedestrian walkway connection running its entire length.
This connection serves to connect Anchor A and Pad A to the Pad
buildings along Grafton Street. These connections encourage users
to navigate the entire Grafton Station development on foot instead
of in a vehicle.
Each pedestrian walkway connection is to be colored sandblasted
concrete. Walkways are lined with shrub and ground cover
plantings as well as a double row of medium-sized evergreen
accent trees. Two in-ground up lights shall be placed to accent each
tree along Pedestrian Connections.
(See Materials list for more information.)
8. PlAZA AT PADS B AND C
Design Concept
The primary outdoor plaza space for the site is at the interior sides
of Pads Band C-l. It will have seating and outdoor dining space
shaded by trees and wood and steel trellises. A series of connected
water features with jets and lighting will serve as the focal point of
the plaza, and will be similar to the fountain at the corner of
Grafton Street and Dublin Boulevard.
The plaza will tie in with pedestrian circulation along the retail
storefronts under the building arcade which fronts the plaza. Entries

to the Pad buildings will be Ranked by large potted plants. Benches
will be provided throughout the plaza, under archiledural arcades
and along pedestrian passages between Pad buildings. Shade
trees in metal tree grates provide a buffer between the plaza and
the adjacent porking lot.
Paving Materials
The main triangular seating area is defined by colored concrete with
sandblast finish, and is surrounded by the same unit pavers in 2
colors to match those used throughout.
(See Plaza at Refa/1 Pads 8 and C Enlargement Sheet for further
information.)
9.
RETAINING WALLS
Design Concept
Retoining walls are necessary in three locations and shall be of
similar design. One retaining wall is necessary on the southwest
corner of the site because the loading dock and truck turnaround at
Anchor A is at a different elevation than the grade at the adjacent
property line. Similarly, a second retaining wall is necessary along
the southern edge of the Anchor A parking lot because of the grade
difference between the parking lot and the proposed bioswale that
parallels Northside Drive and 1-580 to the south. A third retoining
wall is necessary along the delivery truck entry that runs behind Pad
A because of a grade difference between the delivery entry and the
western property line.
Dimensions
The three retaining walls are of similar design. The wall at the
southwest corner of the site will be approximately 78' long. It shall
vary in height from approximately 2' high 10 approximately 4' high.
The wall at the southern edge of the porking lot at Anchor A and
roughly aligns with the length of the bioswale will be approximately
234' long. The wall will have a break at the vehicular connection
between the parking lot and Northside Drive. It shall vary in height
from approximately 2' high to approximately 6' high and will
extend an additional 24" above the finish grade of the adjacent
parking lot along its whole length. This wall's design will include an
ornamental steel railing because of its proximity to pedestrian
traffic.
The third retoining wall located along the delivery entry drive will be
approximately 550' long. It shall vary in height from approximately
2' high to approximately 8' high. This wall's design will include an
ornamental steel railing because of the height of the wall and its
proximity to vehicular traffic.

APPENDIX I
Archilectural styles
Visually the Grafton Street commercial street facade
should resemble an idealized image of a traditional
"Main Street". This can be successfully achieved
through a mix of commercial styles found throughout
California during the early part of the 20th Century.
Since the buildings on such a street were built or
replaced over an extended period by individual
builders, they possessed an eclectic character, sense of
variety and spontaneity unlike the predictable,
repetitious and somewhat monotonous appearance
often found in many late 20th Century commercial
developments. The desired eclectic street scene can
consist of authentic interpretations of various styles, a
more contemporary interpretation of these styles or
ideally an interesting combination, which reinforces the
perception of a long established community built over
time.
One building style that shall be avoided is that of a
corporate chain store with its easily recognized
logo/marketing and architectural image. By requiring
that Grafton Station buildings reRect contemporary
interpretations/versions of the specified authentic styles
and related signage criteria, the goal of achieving an
architectural image reminiscent of a California "Main
Street" that evolved over time with its mix of styles can
be assured.
The following styles represent part of a mix for inclusion
in the Dublin Ranch Village Center & Grafton Station:
- Italianate
- Brick-Front
- Romanesque
- Arcaded Block
- False-Front

Written descriptions, a list of primary characteristics and
graphic illustrations of each of the above eleven (111
authentic styles are provided following this section. The
description of each authentic style is followed by two
elevations. The first illustrates the authentic style and the
second is a contemporary interpretation of it.
styles - Conlemporary Archilecturallnlerprelations
The following two paragraphs provide a description of
the intent for the contemporary architectural
interpretation. These parameters are generally
applicable to each of the eleven (11) historical styles.
In response to economic constraints and modern
construction practices, the contemporary version of each
style is simplified in form, detail and ornamentation.
Finish materials selected shall be appropriate in their use
and application, and be durable in nature. Basic wall
materials include stucco, masonry (brick and stone),
siding (wood, synthetic wood composites), and metal
and cast concrete or synthetic concrete composites.
Roof materials may be of a built-up or membrane type at
parapet conditions, and concrete tile, composition
shingle tile, or metal roof (flat, standing seam, or
corrugated) .
Canopies and awnings may be of metal, glass, wood or
canvas, fixed or retractable where appropriate and be
flat or pitched forms with or without signage graphics.

Details and ornamentation may be of pre-cast stone,
concrete or synthetic materials; metal, wood, masonry,
tile and glass. The choice of materials should be
governed by the style as well as its location / proximity
to the pedestrian. As an example of this, second story
false materials are less visible/detectable than those at
street level, and would be more appropriately used in
those locations.
Colors shall be appropriate to style and material and be
in compliance with the Master Color Palette. Refer to
Section VI Color and Materials Guidelines regarding
additional information on color and material selections
and applications.

llalianale
Popular during the 1880's, Italianate was one of the first
successful historic styles built from manufactured
materials. The Italianate storefront was distinguished by
long and narrow Windows, corners of buildings with
quoins, in brick or stone, and stocking of upright
elements on top of one another. While architectural
detailing could be accomplished with brick, iron-front, or
wood construction, the best opportunities for
ornamentation were offered by wood and metal
construction. Details commonly used with these
construction types included floral motifs, rosettes,
pilasters topped with elaborate capitols and decorative
anchor irons. Ornamentation on brickwork construction
was normally limited to enhancement of the cornice and
lintels. This style established 0 design standard that is
still evident in the great number of Italianate upper
stories in business districts throughout the country.

Brick -Front
Built os a single building or in groups with party walls,
the brick- front store could extend up to 0 block in
length. It was the most popular store front for the
longest time and varied in height from one to three
stories. Single story buildings were not often built alone,
but rather os 0 series of stores along 0 portion of 0
block. The entrance was on or off center. The lower
level was dominated by large windows framed by the
building's corners and the panel of brick between floors.
The upper levels often included single or double oriel
windows, brick friezes, panels and decorative tin
cornices. Other options included the use of parapet
walls, continuous sills or decorative lintels and string or
belt courses dividing the wall laterally. The cornice
functioned os 0 cop under which other elements were

Romanesque
The Romanesque vernacular style was a picturesque
mode of expression and was characterized by a low,
wide, arched entrance Ranked by round-orched
windows. At its most ambitious level it used a primary
facade of coursed, rock-faced sandstone blocks. The
design emphasized the rhythm of the arches and surface
texture. Romanesque buildings were also designed in
stone and brick, one material serving as trim for the
other. Where brick was used as a primary surface
material, eliminating the rough surface, elaborate
(Queen Anne) brick elements such as arcades, arches
ond cornices were introduced with moldings
surrounding the curved elements. Romanesque was
popular for banks and public buildings and corner
business blocks. The buildings implied security and
commitment to purpose.

Arcaded Block
The Arcaded Block, often used as a corner commercial
building at the heart of a business district, was normally
an imposing structure with a strong averall shape and
salid massing. One elevation would often be larger
than the other and different in design detail. Firm lines
on both elevations, e.g. string or belt courses provided
continuity in design. H.H. Richardson and louis
Sullivan, among other Architects, had demonstrated how
an elevation could be integrated through the use of
arches, round-headed elements, or arcades. Windows
appeared as clusters or bands of light, portions of walls
had a light feeling. This design focused on the
intersection of walls at the corner, which often
culminated in a tower that rose from a recessed or
canted ground-level entrance.
Stylistically, the Arcaded Block was an eclectic
combination of classical and picturesque elements.
Broad arches of stone blocks were part of the
Romanesque revival vocabulary. Queen Anne design
motifs included tall chimneystacks and upper level oriel
windows. The arcaded block was an anchor for the
commercial district and one of the strongest design
statements of all vernacular building types and styles. It
maintained its position in business districts throughout
the 1 870-1940 periods.

False-Front
The False-Front commercial building has been
associated with the settlement of the west and is best
typified by the one and two story storefront, which is the
most common of commercial buildings. The false front
simply extends the facade, so that the building seems
larger than it is. The false portion extends the facade
vertically and horizontally so that the roof over the main
body-most often a gable or not roof-remains hidden from
view.
The entrance is centered with display windows on either
side. Central pediments aligned with the entrance and
panel divisions align with display windows. Detailing
and ornamentation in the form of corner boards,
columns, or pilasters are integrated into the facade and
carried up the front. False-Front commercial buildings
did not create illusions that fooled the citizenry but
provided symbolic evidence of the general civilizing
process. The false front often got replaced by or
incorporated into brick buildings, It maintained the
scale of the original town site.

Gable-front
The Gable-Front store was a frame structure, usually clad
in clapboard and served as a general store, hardware,
and grocery or feed store, most often in a small town or
rural setting. The upper level provided living space for
the owner. The straight gable roof and the end wall
gable defined the simple, direct, unadorned building
form. Most elements reinforced that shape. A shed
roof or awning covered the entrance area.
Window fenestration included modest display windows
on the ground level and traditional double hung sash
windows in other locations. A large signboard on the
facade advertised the name of the store. Other boards
advertised specific products. Decoration was limited to
brackets in the gable. The gable-front was an
important building; sometimes serving as the post office
and often a center for social activity, service and
information.

Artistic Front
The Artistic Front was primarily associated with a
grouping of physically connected stores. The 1920's
seem to have been the major period for this
development, although there were examples of
shopping areas built before and long after that decade.
Based on their unusual appearances, they were referred
to as artistic designs, which derived from the use of
architectural details as attenfion-getting devices. The use
of intersecting roof forms, gable fronts, stucco and
Tudor-trim gables came directly from the Cottage design
vocabulary. Each structure could be distinguished from
the others through the unique application of individual
details, yet still belonged to the group. Occasionally
these fronts were built as individual free standing
businesses (e.g. gas stations) and looked very much like
cottages.

Modem Broad Front
The design af the double-width storefront, labeled the
Modern Broad-Front utilized modern materials. The use
of steel beams and columns made a single-space over
two stores or one wide store possible. The broad front
was most often a low one-story structure. The facade
design included two thick piers anchoring the edges and
holding a sub-divided brick panel above. Display
windows were separated into panels with thin mullions.
All of these elements helped broaden the front and
reinforced the openness of the building's face.
Though it had a few historical details as links to the past,
the simpler ornamentation usually included either
brickwork or terra cotta panels or copings around the
edges. The Modern Broad-Front truly was originally and
today remains a modern building.

Mid-Cenlury Modern
The Mid Century Modern is a building type
representative of contemporary architecture begun as
early as the 1930's and extending into the late 1960's.
The buildings tended to be visually austere in nature
often industrial in its use of materials with little detail or
detail so refined it disappeared into the structure whose
only evidence was seen in the cantilevered roofs or wall
sections. Buildings were often framed in steel but
occasionally masonry and wood. Building wall
materials were quite flexible and included stucco, glass
block, masonry, or wood siding. Roof forms included
shed, gable or parapet flat roof solutions. A variety of
roof materials including shingles or tile, metal and built-
up roofs were used.
Characteristics

Post Modem
Post Modern is a building style representative of
contemporary architecture that developed as a reaction
to the extreme simplicity and elimination of details
begun with the Mid Century Modern. It sought to bring
back classical details but simplified and distilled into the
essence of the classically detailed forms. The period can
be seen as developing from 1960's into and through the
1980's. The buildings tended to be visually rich in form
and color with a mix of roof types from flat parapet
roofs to gable and hip forms. Buildings were framed in
wood, steel and masonry. Building wall materials were
also quite diverse and included stucco, masonry, or
wood siding. Building forms were often more formal in
their plan and organization but less in keeping with the
classical forms it drew upon and interpreted; the
elevations were more playful and eclectic with the use of
color and their application and mix of materials.
