DESCRIPTION:
The application is for a Site Development Review for Neighborhood H-1 within Dublin Ranch Area G
(PA 98-069). There are 10.0+/- acres within the boundary of this project. The project is proposed to
include 289 condominium units. Designated uses include multi-family residential, open
space/landscape areas and roads.
BACKGROUND:
This project is part of Dublin Ranch Area G comprised of 86.4 acres of mixed-use development
including medium high and high density residential, village commercial, and parks.
The Planning Commission, at their meeting of January 25, 2000, approved a Stage I Planned
Development rezoning of Areas F, G & H of Dublin Ranch. Additionally, a Stage II Planned
Development rezoning for Area G (the area that encompasses this application) was processed and
approved by the Planning Commission on that same date. The City Council at their meeting of March
21, 2000 approved the Planning Commission's recommendation by adopting Ordinance 6-00
establishing the zoning for the property. In conjunction with the Stage I and Stage II zoning, extensive
Negative Declarations and Mitigation Monitoring Programs were adopted by the City Council.
The Zoning approval set forth various sites within Area G for different land use types. The residential
areas consist of Medium High (MH) and High (H) density areas. The previous zoning approval
anticipated up to 1,404 residential units to be located in Area G. On February 22, 2000, the Planning
Commission approved a Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map (7148) that legally described each of the
parcels. From that approval and along with the approval of the zoning documents, the neighborhoods

Project Manager
MH-1, MH-2, H-1 and H-2 were established.
Neighborhood H-1 is the subject of this application and is contained in one of those designated
neighborhoods.
The H-1 neighborhood is located on the north side of Dublin Boulevard, which is a major east/west
connector between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road. Brannigan Street, Finnian Way, and the Village
Center commercial area border the neighborhood on its other three sides. North of the site is a
proposed Medium High Density Residential site (neighborhood MH-1 and the Neighborhood Square);
to the west and south are General Commercial uses; and to the east is the Village Center commercial
area. The project area is entirely vacant with no structures. Action on this SDR by the Planning
Commission will begin the process of allowing the residential project to be constructed.
A neighborhood square is proposed to the north of the site across Finnian Way. On the east edge of the
site is a multi-purpose trail connecting with other parts of Dublin Ranch to the north with the east/west
trail along Dublin Boulevard. Open space areas are provided within the proposal, with a pool and
clubhouse building located centrally within the site. The clubhouse building is attached to one of the
residential structures, is located on two levels of the building, and is approximately 3,350 square feet in
size. The clubhouse includes a multi purpose room, exercise room, lockers, terrace, work / conference
center (for resident use), kitchen and restrooms.
ANALYSIS:
Neighborhood H-1 is approximately 10.0 +/- acres in size, and is proposed to have 289 condominium
residential units. The proposed project density is approximately 28.9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).
The existing site is essentially level and at a similar grade as each of the adjacent roadways and
surrounding parcels. The proposed 289 condominium units include both stacked flats and townhouse
units. Access through the neighborhood is provided by a system of private streets and courts. Two
vehicle access points are proposed in the project, one on Finnian Way and the other on Dublin
Boulevard. There is a private on-site loop road. The Dublin Boulevard entry has limited right-in; right-
out access only.
The applicant, Toll Brothers is proposing 6 different floor plans that vary in size and layout. This
project will be known as the "Villas." A brief description of the basic elements of each type is provided
below.
A 1,234 1 1.5 1 2 + LOFT

Floor Plans
The applicant is proposing six different floor plans. The homes range from 1,234 to 1,548 square feet.
The variety of stacked flat and townhouse units are assembled into multi-unit buildings that are three
stories in height plus a loft level; all above the garage level. There is a comprehensively integrated and
complexly interlocking design to allow the units to be efficiently arranged within the buildings. All
garages enter from an interior corridor that is partially below grade. All of the unit entries / front doors
are located at grade level or slightly above on the perimeter of the building. This allows the auto-
oriented areas and pedestrian areas to be isolated from each other. The use of outside terraces and
smaller upper floor footprints allow variation in the wall planes and add interest to the project.
Additionally, the loft areas are included in only a few units in each building providing variation in roof
height.
All unit types include outdoor terraces, some having terraces on two levels. All units include non-wood
burning fireplace amenities. Direct access is provided from each unit to the garage space.
Plan A: This floor plan is the smallest of the models proposed. It is 1,234 square feet in area, and
includes one bedroom and one and one half baths. These two story plus loft units are always located on
the second and third levels, with an entry / porch at the garage level. Living space is one story above
the entry. This unit includes both a living / dining room and a terrace on the lower level. The bedroom
is on the upper level, with the loft above that. The loft is open to the bedroom below. Windows are
provided on one side of the unit. A one-car garage is provided accessing the unit directly by a stairway.
Sixty of these units are provided throughout the project.
Plan B.3: This plan includes living space on one level. It is 1,307 square feet in size with one bedroom,
a den, and two baths. These units are always located as an end unit, and on the second level. A grade
level entry is part of this unit, with an internal stairway entry to the unit on the second level. A terrace
enters from the living / dining room. This plan provides windows on three sides. A one-car garage is
provided with direct access to the living area. Twenty-two of these units are included within the
project.
Plan B.2: This plan is a two-story unit; 1,392 square feet in area. The plan includes one bedroom and
two and one half baths. These units are always located on the second and third levels, with an entry /
porch at ground level. The plan includes a private terrace entering from the living / dining room. The
master bedroom / bath and den are on the upper level. All windows are on one side of this plan. Thirty
of these units are included within the project.
Plan B. 1: This plan is a two-story unit; 1,392 square feet in area that is a variation of plan B.2. The
plan includes one bedroom and two and one half baths. These units are always located on the second
and third levels, with an entry / porch at ground level. The plan includes a private terrace entering from
the living / dining room. The difference between this plan and plan B.2 is that this plan converts the den
to a second bedroom and includes a second terrace on the unit's upper level. The second terrace enters
from the master bedroom. All windows are on one side of this plan. A sub variety of this plan
including a slightly larger floor area- 1,417 square feet - is included in the total. Seventy-four of these
units are included within the project.
Plan C: This plan is a one-story unit; 1,420 square feet in size. The plan includes two bedrooms and
two baths. These units are always located on the first level above the garage, with an entry / porch at
3
ground level. Two terraces are provided, one entering from the living room and the other from the
bedroom. The windows are located on one side of the plan. A two-car garage is in provided, with
direct access up stairs to the living space. Eighty-two of these units are included within the project.
Plan D: This plan is a one-story unit; 1,548 square feet in size. This plan is very similar in layout to
Plan C, but includes three bedrooms and two baths. This plan is always on the first level, with the entry
/ porch at grade level. The plan is used at comer locations of the building, having windows on two
sides. A terrace is next to the living / dining room. This plan includes a two-car side-by-side garage
with direct access to the entry and stairway. These units are always located on the end of the building.
Twenty-one these units are included within the project.
Of the 289 total units within the proposal, the Plan A represents 20.7%, Plan B.3 is 7.6%, Plan B.2 is
10.4%, Plan B.1 is 25.6%, Plan C is 28.4%, and Plan D is 7.3% of the total. This number of plans, and
ability to mix and match, aids in creating unique building elevations and streetscapes.
Going partially below grade accesses the garages. The overall appearance is one of a "ganged" look,
however, individual garage doors with automatic openers will be provided for each unit.
Multi-unit Buildings
The various attached units are assembled into three building types including 21, 22, or 24 units. Most
of the project includes the 22-unit type. However the buildings do include two distinct sides including
residence entries and pedestrian orientation. This combined with the ability to oppose different ends of
the building elevations allows the interest and individuality of the project to be maintained. The
buildings are primarily three stories in height; with the lofts of the A plan adding height and variety to
the project.
Elevations
The architect has selected a Spanish Colonial / Mission Revival style of architecture. This style
emphasizes a layering of vertical masses, vivid colors, and relatively simple widow placement. The
interlocking of units allows for variation in massing that is part of this style.
The pedestrian observer will see two and three story row houses with a variety of roof heights, shapes,
and gables. The plaster walls are heavily detailed with porches, balconies, shutters, multi-paned
windows, tile roofs, wrought iron, and wood trim. Mixing the various unit types together in different
ways within the different building types adds to the variety of the project, while maintaining the basic
Spanish Colonial character of the project. A variety of colors also contribute to the streetscape.
The clubhouse building continues the Spanish Colonial architecture. It is a two-story element attached
to one of the residential structures adding further variation and identity at the primary project entry.
The building includes detailed window surrounds, taller windows, and arched detail features.
Sound Attenuation:
As this project (like the H-2neighborhood) abuts Dublin Boulevard, noise studies were required by the
previous environmental documents. In analyzing those studies, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan with
4
its amendments and the City's General Plan and Ordinances, the City Attorney had determined that
exterior living spaces (patios and decks) would require attenuation to a certain decibel level. The actual
building construction techniques with minor modifications to the windows will meet the City's interior
noise requirement. A condition of approval has been included to assure that this attenuation takes
place. The Planning Commission is familiar with this requirement having had a similar concern with
the Waterford/Shea development along Tassajara and the Starward project along San Ramon Valley
Road.
Colors
The applicant is proposing three separate color schemes for the 13 buildings. As these buildings have
no rear elevations, all sides of the buildings are highly articulated. Due to this and in order to maintain a
cohesive look for the project, the applicant is proposing to paint the buildings one main color and then
utilize an accent color to accentuate the various undulations where units step forward and step back.
Most accent items such as windowsills and headers, railings, trellises are consistent between buildings.
The roofs and base elements are also consistent. A slight variation in the front doors between color
schemes is also utilized. The over all color pallet, while slightly different, will accentuate the look,
provide some variety and enhance the overall structures and project.
Landscaping and Fencing;
A variety of trees, shrubs, and ground covers are proposed to enhance the project. The Scarlet Oak and
London Plane street trees are proposed in staggered double rows along the edges of the project, which
fulfills the requirements of the Master Streetscape Plan approved by the Planning Commission as a part
of the Stage II zoning action. Sizable plant materials will emphasize the pedestrian and open space
areas, as well as the subterranean garage entries. Most trees will be of 24-inch box size. The character
of the architecture is accented by the upscale urban landscape theme and enhanced paving at the project
entries. The primary entry is further enhanced by a landscaped median. Security fencing is also
enhanced consistent with the project design character. The open metal fence includes design detailing
consistent with the Hillside architecture along the top edge.
Circulation and Parking:
As mentioned above the site is surrounded by public streets, and served internally by a system of
private drives and courts. The primary access drive is 47 feet wide; providing added width for the
landscaped median. The private street looping through the project is 30 feet wide when parking is
provided on one side, and 36 feet wide with parking on both sides. The courts, providing access to the
garages are 20 feet wide. Enhanced paving treatment is provided at the primary entry drive. Textured
and colored asphalt paving is used for this purpose. Turning movements of large trucks are
accommodated in all drive and court areas.
Two vehicle access points are proposed in the project, one on Finnian Way, and the other on Dublin
Boulevard. The Dublin Boulevard entry has limited right-in, right-out access.
The combination of garage, on-street, and off-street parking is provided within the proposal. The
project is required to provide 466 garage spaces and 145 guest spaces. The proposal provides 466
garage spaces, 82 on-site spaces and 49 on-street spaces. This is slightly less guest parking than
required, however several adjacent alternatives help to mitigate this situation. As with the MH-2 site,
5
several of the units take direct access from the north/south trail to the front doors of the unit. The
closest parking available is in the commercial development to the east. It is highly likely that that
parking will be utilized for guests going to the units closest to fronting pathway and commercial
development. Additionally, consideration was not given to on street parking adjacent to the
neighborhood square. The Town Center Planned Development previously considered urban nature of
the Village Center and considered the use of on-street spaces to satisfy the guest parking need for
Neighborhood H- 1.
Tentative Tract:
Tentative Tract 7326 is proposed for this project. It includes 13 lots for the residential units; each
including multiple airspace divisions; and 7 lettered parcels comprising the private drives, and open
space areas. Staff originally envisioned the H-1 and H-2 sites to be rental facilities. The developer, Toll
Brothers, has chosen to develop these units as for sale condominiums, which necessitates the processing
and approval of the tentative tract map. This map would allow the units to be sold to individual
purchasers rather than as rental units.
CONCLUSIONS:
Neighborhood H-1 effectively blends the physical demands of the higher development with pedestrian
scale needs of a quality neighborhood. The two to three story structures include a wealth of features
that mitigate the height and bulk of the buildings. These features include; lower building heights at
building comers, a variety of heights of building elements, use of reduced floor areas on upper floors
and dormers to further reduce eave line heights, balconies, and architectural detail. Placing the project
into a pedestrian scale and separating the pedestrian and auto areas ensures the neighborhood is
compatible with the upscale urban lifestyle sought by the future residents.
The overall design of the neighborhood will complement the housing stock in Dublin, should blend
well with the housing types currently available, and will be visually pleasing from the offsite views and
from within the neighborhood itself.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
Adopt the Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Tentative Tract Map and Site Development
Review for Dublin Ranch Neighborhood H-1.
