DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Joseph Flanagan of Shea Properties is requesting a General Plan Amendment Study for an
undeveloped, vacant 4:t acre parcel located directly south of the Arroyo Vista Housing Project,
west of Dougherty Road. The site is presently designated as "Medium Density Residential" (6-
14 units per acre) and is owned by the Dublin Housing Authority as part of the Arroyo Vista
Housing'Project The applicant wishes to file a Planned Development Rezoning Application,
with the approval of the property owner, to construct a 75 unit apartment complex identical to the
recently approved Shea Properties 209 unit project just to the south. The total 284 unit complex
. (both projects) would then provide 20% of the units affordable for very low, low and moderate
'. income renters. This plan would be dependent on the applicants ability to secure tax credit and
other financing to supplement private funding. Any proposed rezoning an9!or other entitlements
would be subject to approval by the Dublin Housing Authority before pre~eding. with the
standard City of Dublin process. '
The Applicant wishes to change the General Plan Designation for the site from "MediUl)l Density
Residential" (6.14 units per acre) to "Medium High Density Residential" (14.1 - 25.0 Units per
acre). The City Council needs to determine whether a General Plan Amendment Study should be
authorized. All other land use and environmental concerns will be addressed by the General Plan
Study itself. If the Study is initiated, subsequent public hearings will be held before the Planning
Commission and City Council regarding entitlements, such as Rezoning, and Site Development
Review.
