DESCRIPTION:
The application is for a Site Development Review for Neighborhood MH-2 within Dublin Ranch Area G
(PA 98-069). There are 11.6+/- acres within the boundary of this project. The project is proposed to
include 281 townhouse and stacked flat condominium units. Designated uses include condominium
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 meting 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 ultimate goal was to have up to
1,404 residential units within Area G. On February 22, 2000, the Planning Commission approved a

Project Manager
Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map (7148) that legally described each of the parcels. From that
approval and along with that approval of the zoning documents, the neighborhoods MH-1, MH-2, H-1
and H-2 were established. Neighborhood MH-2 is the subject of this application and is contained within
one of those designated neighborhoods.
The MH-2 neighborhood is located on the south side of Central Parkway, which is a major east/west
connector between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road. The neighborhood borders Keegan Street on the
east side, Finnian Way on the south side, and the Village Center commercial area and neighborhood trail
on the west. North of the site is a proposed Medium Density Residential site; and the proposed Village
Center commercial uses will directly abut this project to the west. 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 park is proposed to the south and east of the site across Finnian Way. On the west 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 recreation building located centrally within the site. The recreation building is 1,987 square feet in
area, including a multi purpose room, exercise room, kitchen and restrooms.
ANALYSIS:
Neighborhood MH-2 is approximately 11.6 acres in size, and is proposed to have 281 condominium
residential units. The proposed project density is approximately 24.2 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 281 interlocking condominium units include both stacked flats and
townhouse homes. Access through the neighborhood is provided by a system of a looping private street
and motor courts. Two vehicle access pOints are proposed to the project from Finnian Way.
The applicant, Toll Brothers is proposing 7 different floor plans that vary in size and layout. This
project will be known as "the Courtyards." Other sub varieties of the individual plans are also proposed.
A brief description of the basic elements of each type is provided below.

Floor Plans
The applicant is proposing seven different floor plans with various options available. The homes range
from 1,292 to 2,171 square feet. The variety of stacked flat and townhouse units are assembled into
multi-unit buildings that are four stories in height - including 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 one side of each building; and the front doors of
all units are located on the opposite side of the building. This allows the auto-oriented areas and
pedestrian areas to be isolated from each other. The third and fourth floor areas are smaller than the unit
footprints, allowing lower eave lines mitigating the height of the structures. Additionally, the units are
many times assembled to provide a three-story element at the comer of the buildings, also mitigating the
structure height.
All unit types include outdoor porch, deck, or balcony areas, and window opportunities on at least two
sides of each unit. Variations in the model 3 and 6 units result from variation in dimensions. This again
is a product of the closely interlocked nature of the project. Direct access is provided from each unit to
the garage space.
Plan 1: This floor plan is the smallest of the models proposed. It is 1,292 square feet in area, and
includes two bedrooms and two baths. These units are always located on the second levels, with an
entry / porch at the garage level. This unit includes both a living and a dining room with a deck entering
from the living room. All living space in this unit is one on the same level. Windows are provided on
three sides of the unit. A tandem two-car garage is provided accessing the unit directly by a stairway.
Twenty-nine of these units are provided throughout the project, usually at the end of the multi-unit
buildings.
Plan 2: This plan includes living space on three levels. It is 1,568 square feet in size with two bedrooms
and two and one half baths. These units are always located with the entry and the living/dining room
and kitchen at grade level. The master bedroom and bath is on the second level; and the other bedroom
and laundry rooms are on the third level. This plan provides windows on three sides. A two-car tandem
garage is provided with direct access to the kitchen area. Eighteen of these units are included within the
project.
Plan 3: This plan is a two-story unit; 1,519 square feet in area. The plan includes two bedrooms and two
baths. These units are always located on the second and third levels, with an entry / porch at ground
level. The plan includes two separate decks, one off of the living/dining room, and the other off of the
bedroom. The master bedroom / bath is on the third level. Seventy-six of these units are included
within the project.
Plan 3X: This plan is a variation on Plan 3. It is 1,612 square feet in area, also including two bedrooms
and two baths. The unit in this variation is a few feet wider in the living / dining and kitchen areas
offering additional floor space in those rooms. All other features are the same as Plan 3. Six of these
units are included within the project.
Plan 4: This plan is a two-story unit; 1,532 square feet in size. The plan includes two bedrooms and two
baths. These units are always located on the second and third levels, with an entry / porch at ground
level. A private deck is provided adjacent to the living room. A two-story volume ceiling above the
dining room is provided. The windows are located primarily on one side of the plan. A two-car tandem
garage is in provided, with direct access up stairs to the living space. Eighteen of these units are
3
included within the project.
Plan 5: This plan is a three-story unit; 1,679 square feet in size. This plan includes three bedrooms and
three and one half baths. This plan is always on the first, second, and third floors, with the entry / porch
and a bedroom at grade level. A large deck is next to the living / dining room. The master bedroom
and bath are located on the third level. 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-
three these units are included within the project.
Plan 6: This plan is a two-story unit; 1,892 square feet in size, and are always located on the third and
fourth levels. The plan includes three bedrooms and two and one half baths. A porch and entry to the
unit are at grade level, accessing an interior stairway to the unit. The stairway goes up two flights to the
living space. A second stairway is also provided at the rear of the unit providing secondary access from
the third floor to ground level as is required by safety regulations. An outdoor deck is accessed from the
living / dining room. A two-car tandem garage is provided with direct access to the ground level porch
area. Seventy-seven of these units are provided throughout the project.
Plan 6X: This plan is a variation on Plan 6. It is 2,171 square feet in size with three bedrooms and two
and one half baths. The unit in this variation is a few feet wider in the third and fourth levels offering
additional floor space in those rooms. All other features are the same as Plan 6. Five of these units are
included within the project.
Plan 7: This plan is a two-story unit; 2,025 square feet in size, and are always located on the third and
fourth levels. The plan includes three bedrooms and three baths. A porch and entry to the unit are at
grade level, accessing an interior stairway up two flights to the living space. A second stairway is also
provided at the rear of the unit providing secondary access from the third floor to ground level as is
required by safety regulations. An outdoor deck is accessed from the living / dining room. A two-car
tandem garage is provided with direct access to the ground level porch area. Twenty-nine of these units
are provided throughout the project.
Of the 281 total units within the proposal, the Plan 1 represents 10.3%, Plan 2 is 6.4%, Plans 3 and 3X
are 29.2%, Plan 4 is 6.4%, Plan 5 is 8.2%, Plan 6 and 6X are 29.2%, and Plan 7 is 10.3% of the total.
This number of plans, and ability to mix and match, aids in creating unique building elevations and
streetscapes.
As noted above, with some units located on just the first floor, some occupying the first and second
floor, some on the second and third floor and some on the third and fourth floors, it is necessary to
"interlock" some units with others. This means that a portion of the living space of one unit would be
adjacent to and over the living space of the next unit in order to make up the buildings and the requisite
density on this site.
Multi-unit Buildings
The various attached units are assembled into eight building types including 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, or 15
units. The building variations provide unique site planning and building elevation opportunities. The
buildings are designed to be used in pairs, with auto entries on one side and pedestrian entries on the
other. This allows for segregated pedestrian areas and open space opportunities between each of the
buildings. The buildings are primarily four stories in height. However the design of the individual
4
homes with less square footage on the upper levels allows greater variation in roof planes and lowering
of eave lines.
Elevations
The architect is featuring an Italian Hilltown style of architecture. This style emphasizes strong vertical
masses, vivid colors, and relatively simple fenestration (windows or window walls). The interlocking
and intertwining of units allows for variation in massing that is part of the Hilltown style.
The pedestrian observer will see two and three story row houses with a variety of roof heights, shapes,
gables and dormers. The stucco walls are heavily detailed with porches, balconies, shutters, multi-paned
windows, wrought iron, and wood trim. A variety of floor and roof levels and shapes can also be seen
from the auto courts, with detailed windows, shutters, and dormers adding to the character. 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 Italian Hillside character of the project. A variety of colors also
contribute to the streetscape.
The clubhouse building continues the Hillside architecture. The building includes a raised tower
features, stone veneer, detailed window surrounds, and arched entry features.
ColoFs
Many changes of color and material are appropriate when considering single-family detached homes.
The goal is to achieve a custom home look and limit the repeating of the same color and elevation of a
particular house. In Multi-family developments, the concept is somewhat similar in providing color
variation, but the building mass of attached units dictates a slightly different approach.
With buildings as large as those proposed which encompass many individual units, it is important to
have subtle but distinctive changes in the color of the buildings while not having one scheme overpower
another or having so many color options that the projects looks disjointed and uncohesive.
The applicant is proposing three different color schemes that are all slight variations on each other. The
primary changes will be is the larger building elements such as the stucco walls and accent stucco.
Roofs, stone and trim details will be consistent through out the project. Scheme 3 will be used the most
with Schemes 1 and 2 following in order. The overall color palate will visually but subtly show the
variations in the buildings.
Landscaping and Fencing;
A variety of trees, shrubs, and ground covers are proposed to enhance the project. The Scarlet Oak,
Japanese Zelkova, and Hackberry street trees are proposed in staggered double rows along the edges of
the project, which is required by the Master Streetscape Manual approved by the Planning Commission
as a part of the Stage II Planned Development rezoning. Sizable plant materials will emphasize the
pedestrian and open space areas, as well as the auto court entries. Most trees will be of 24-inch box size.
The character of the architecture is accented by the upscale rural landscape theme and enhanced paving
at the project entries. 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. Two vehicle access points are proposed to the project from Finnian Way. This is
effectively an interior loop road from which all the motor courts are connected. The primary access
drives are 36 feet wide; providing for added width for parallel guest parking on both sides of the drives.
The courts, providing access to the garages are 24 feet to 26 feet wide, depending on the particular
location. Enhanced paving treatment is provided at a limited number of locations within the courts and at
both entry drives. Textured and colored asphalt paving is used for this purpose. Turning movements of
large tracks are accommodated in all drive and court areas.
The combination of garage, on-street, and off-street parking is provided within the proposal. The project
is required to provide 562 garage spaces and 141 guest spaces. The proposal exhibits indicate that the
project provides 562 garage spaces, 74 on-site spaces and 61 on-street spaces. This is slightly less guest
parking than required, however parking on the opposite side of Finnian Way is also available to satisfy
the project needs as it is adjacent to the park. Additionally, the entry courts of a significant number of
units face the north/south trail and actually take their access from this pathway to their front doors. I
would seem more likely that guests coming to visit these individual units would utilize the parking
closest to the front door. This would be the parking in the Village Center area. A portion of the uses in
the Village Center were thought to possibly be daytime uses which could leave parking available in the
evenings for guests to this development. The Town Center Planned Development previously considered
and approved the use of on-street spaces to satisfy the guest parking need for Neighbor hood MH-2 as
the intent was to try and create an urban village.
Tentative Tract:
Tentative Tract 7325 is proposed for this project. It includes 18 lots for the residential units; each
including multiple airspace divisions; and 32 lettered parcels comprising the private drives, and open
space areas. Because the areas are proposed to be for sale, the tentative map is necessary to allow
individual units to be conveyed to individual purchasers in addition to a percentage ownership in the
open space and common areas.
CONCLUSIONS:
Neighborhood MH-2 effectively blends the physical demands of the higher density development with
pedestrian scale needs of a quality neighborhood. The three and four story structures include a wealth of
features that mitigate the height and bulk of the buildings. These features include; lower (three story)
building heights at building comers, 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 neighbor 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.
