PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Background
The development of plans for a Historical District in the Donlon Way area has been identified as a high
priority in the City Council Goals and Objectives for the Fiscal Year 2004/2005, and funds have been
.appropriated in the 2004/2005 City budget to support this important project.
In January 2004, consultants Page and Tumbull completed a Historic Resources Identification Project
(HRIP) for approximately 30-acres surrounding the City's historic core at Donlon Way, Dublin
Boulevard, and San Ramon Road. The HRIP took a close look at all of the structures and property in the
area to determine which buildings and sites contained resources of historic significance. The information
contained in the HRIP provided the foundation for understanding which resources in the area should be
protected and enhanced, and which buildings and sites do not have any historic value themselves, but
which might be in close proximity to important resources and worthy of consideration in the formation of
a historic district.

ITEM NO.
On January 20, 2004, the City Council approved a one-year extension to a development moratorium in the
Donlon Way, Dublin Boulevard, and San Ramon Road area in order to permit the City time to consider
how the historic resources in the area might be protected and further enhanced by new development in the
area. This moratorium expires on January 21, 2005, and it is the intent that planning and design
consideration for the greater Donlon Way area be completed so that when the moratorium expires, the
development and design standards for the area are in place.
Proposal for the Greater Donlon Way area
Planning Staff originally intended to complete design guidelines and possibly a specific plan for the
Donlon Way area, but after more analysis and consideration of the issues, Staff has concluded that
preparing a Master Plan that includes design guidelines for the Donlon Way Historic Area would be a
more effective approach to meeting the Ci~'s goals for the area. Because there are not many
oppommities for new development in the historic area, and because the land uses currently permitted in
the historic area are not inherently problematic if design appropriately, Staff determined that the
preparation of a Specific Plan focusing on land use changes and development standards may not be
warranted. Staff concluded that instead of focusing on permitted uses in the area, it might be more
effective to focus on how to design whatever development might take place in the area so that it is
compatible with its historic surroundings. In particular, as a part of the master planning process, the
consultants will take a look at various development opportunities for the Dublin Square Shopping Center
site on the southwest comer of Dublin Boulevard and Donlon Way.
Although the City is in the beginning stages of exploring the possible acquisition of the Dublin Square
Shopping Center site for public uses, Staff acknowledges that the City Council is anxious to proceed with
the planning of the historic area. As a part of this Master Plan, the consultant will examine some possible
development alternatives for the site and will develop design guidelines to be used in the event that the
site is developed privately. This Master Planning process will not determine the fate of the site, but it is
simply an opportunity to look briefly at what options exist for the Site from both a public and private
perspective.
Staff prepared a Request For Proposals to solicit a consulting firm to guide the City through a master
planning process for the Donlon Way area, and selected RBF Consulting (specifically, RBF's Urban
Design Studio - RBF/UDS) to complete the project. RBF's Scope of Services and Fee Schedule are
included with the contract (Attachment 2).
Proposed Scope of Services
RBF's Urban Design Studio has prepared master plans and design guidelines for a number of
communities throughout California, including the San Juan Bautista Historic District Plan, the Historic
Downtown Los Banos Commercial Design Standards, and the Design Guidelines for Historic Resources
in Escondido. Resumes for the key staff members to be involved in this project are attached as Exhibit B
to the Consulting Service Agreement.
The Scope of Services in its entirety is attached as Exhibit A to the Consulting Service Agreement.. Below
is a condensed summary of the proposal's main components:
Step 1: project Initiation
RBF/UDS will prepare an existing conditions amd opportunities/constraints analysis for the Donlon
Way Historic Area. RBF/UDS Will also consult with the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission
and the Planning Commission at a joint study session to review the opportunities and constraints
'analysis, preliminary concept design plans for the area, and to get input from the two Commissions
on their goals for possible improvements in the Historic Area.
Page2 %5 ..i
Step 2: Prepare an Administrative Draft Master Plan
RBF/UDS will prepare an Administrative Draft Master Plan that will contain the following
components:
· Architectural design guidelines for future development in the area,
· Commercial signage guidelines,
· Conceptual alternatives for monument/directional signage alternatives for the Historic
District, and
· Design alternatives for the Dublin Square Shopping Center
The Consultants will then present the concepts to the City Council for their review and feedback
before preparing a complete Draft Master Plan.
Step 3: Prepare a Draft Master Plan
After the City Council review, a Draft Master Plan will be prepared and presented to the Heritage
and Cultural Arts Commission for their feedback.
Step 4: Prepare a Final Master Plan
The Master Plan will be finalized and presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for
review and approval.
The Donlon Way Historic Area Master Plan process as proposed by RBF Consulting will last
approximately six months from start to finish, and is scheduled to be completed by December before the
historic'area development moratorium expires on January 21, 2005.
Throughout the process, Consultants and City Staff will be proactive in seeking input from the Heritage
and Cultural Arts Commission, Dublin Historic Preservation Association, and others interested in
Dublin's history. In addition, Staff will be intimately involved with managing the program to ensure a
successful outcome.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City has a standard contract for consultant services that RBF Consulting has reviewed and accepted.
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the Staff Report, adopt a Resolution approving a
Consulting Services Agreement in the amount of $40,000 with RBF Consulting (RBF) to prepare a Master
Plan for the Donlon Way Historic Area and authorizing the Mayor to execute the contract.

Section 1' Project Understanding
Donlon Way The Donton Way Historic Area is
Historic Area the original settlement area of
present day Dublin. In its early
hiStory, natural springs (now
known as the Alamilla SPrings)
attracted Ohlone and Bay' Miwok
Indians to the area. These springs
later provided fresh water and shade for the first Spamsh Explorers
to travel through the area. Eventually, Alamilla Springs became
a crossroads for two SPanish Trails: one traveling east-wrist
between the San Francisco Bay and the San Joaquin Valley, and
one traveling north-south between the Village of Martinez arid
Mission san Jose (located in present-day Fremont). Around 1833,
a Mexican rancher named Jose Maria Amador built his home near
the Alamilla Springs. His home, known as Rancho San Ramon pr
"Amador's", became a principal Stopping point for travelers in
search of water, food, and lodging.
Like many Mexican rancheros, Amador was forced to prove title to
his land after the Mexican American War. The lengthy leg'al
process exhausted much of his financial resources and as a resu!t,
Amador was forced to sell his landholdings to pay for legal fe~s.
Amador sold portions of his land to Irish immigrants, including the
Fallon, Murray, and Dougherty families.
These families built their homes near the
Alamilla Springs. By the late-1850s, the
settlement near Alamilla Springs grew t°
include commercial buildings, a school, and
a church. In the 1860s, the settlement was
named after Ireland's capitol city, Dublin,
due to the high population of Irish families; ~?
living in the area.
In the early 1900s, Dublin became an important stopping point for
mot°rists traveling to and from the Bay Area. Several auto-relat.~d
business, including garages, service stations, hotels, and restaurax~ts
were established in Dublin during this time. Following World War
II, Dublin experienced major suburban residential and commercial
growth like other communities throughout the Bay Area.

Recent Development Much of the suburban growth and development that has occurred in
the Donlon Way Historic Area has compromised the historic image
and character of the City. Several of historic buildings have been
demolished and replaced by housing tracts, shopping centers,
apartment complexes, and office buildings.
Remaining Historic Fortunately, several resources were saved from demolition due to
Resources hard work of local volunteers and City officials. The historic
resources that remain include:
· St. Raymond's Church, 6600 Donlon Way (City-owned)
· The Original Murray School, 6600 Donlon Way (City-owned)

improves the image of the district. ~
At this point, the City is interested in developing design guidelines
that will help identify the area's character defining assets and tl~at

Section 2: Project Approach
Approach Tailored to RBF Consulting's Urban Design Studio (UDS) has successfully
This Project prepared historic district design guidelines for numerous
communities throughout California. For the Donlon Way Historic
Area Design Guidelines, LIDS has developed an approach that
builds upon our successful and well-proven past experience. Our
approach has been specifically tailored to meet your needs, as well
as those of business owners and developers, and the broader
community. Our approach will focus on four core attributes:
· Engaging key community members, including the Heritage and
Cultural Arts Commission, and City staff throughout the
process
· Developing a design guidelines document that respects the
historic and cultural integrity of Donlon Way, and that can be
used as an implementation tool by the City
· Providing close coordination and communication with City
staff throughout the process
· Strong involvement with UDS principals and project managers
Engaging Key UDS believes that community
Community members are the true planning and
Members through design experts when it comes to their
Process and Product neighborhoods, towns, and cities. As a
result, we craft planning processes and
.products that build both the public's
knowledge and its sense of ownership
in the process and product. As part of this commitment, public
participation is key to all UDS projects. UDS' approach for the
project will be to establish and maintain a close worki, ng
relationship with the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commiss{on
(HCAC). Their insights will ensure that the design guidelines
adequately reflect community, economic and aesthetic issues that
are critical to successful project implementation.
