Land use changes include relocating all of the Medium High Density Residential, High Density Residential, and Neighborhood Commercial uses within Area F to Area G. These three land uses would be replaced with Medium Density Residential uses within Area F. The Neighborhood Commercial uses which are currently shown along both sides of Central Parkway (previously the "Transit Spine") would be relocated to Area G and reoriented in a north-south direction between Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkway along Main Street. . Amend text in the Land Use element of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to delete references to the '°transit Spine" and replace it with either "Central Parkway" or "Main Street" as appropriate, in accordance with Resolution No. 77-97. This Resolution was approved by the City Council on June 17, 1997 to amend the circulation element of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. This Amendment reclassified the "Transit Spine" from a transit- oriented corridor to an east-west arterial and renamed it "Central Parkway" (Exhibit C: EDSP Text Amendments). Amend text in the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, to allow Campus Office uses be developed on 10.5 acres of land designated for General Commercial uses within the south-west quadrant of Area H, pursuant to a Stage 2 Planned Development (PD) Rezone (Exhibits C and D: EDSP and GP Text Amendments). 4. Update Appendix 4 "Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Summary By Land Owner", #19 Pao-Lin (also know as Areas F, G and H, now owned by Jennifer Lin et al) (Exhibit E). WHEREAS, a complete application for this project is on file with the Dublin Planning Department; and WHEREAS, the potential environmental effects of the proposed project have been previously addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR (SCH No. 91-103064); and WltERES, individUal Initial Studies have been prepared for each of the three Dublin Ranch Areas (Area F - SCH No.99112040, Area G - SCH No.99112041 and Area H - SCH No.99112042) to evaluate site-specific impacts of the project (to a greater level of detail than in the Program EIR) pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15168. Based on the three Initial Studies, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigated Monitoring Program has been prepared for each area with the finding that with the implementation of Mitigation Measures previously adopted for the Program EIR and with site specific Mitigation Measures contained in the Initial Studies, as further clarified by the Response to Comments, the potential site-specific impacts of the projects would be reduced to a level of insignificance. The Program EIR and Initial Studies adequately describe the impacts of the project, and there have been no substantial changes or new information that would be outside the scope of the Program EIR; and WItEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a properly noticed public hearing on said application on December 14, 1999, January 11, 2000 and January 25, 2000 and did adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for Area F (PA 98-068), Area G (PA 98-069) and Area H (PA 98-070);. and WItEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council on February 15, 2000; and WltEREAS, a StaffReport was submitted recommending that the City Council approve the proposed General Plan Amendment and Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and WItEREAS, the City Council did hear and use their independent judgment and considered all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED TltAT the Dublin City Council does hereby find that: 1. The proposed Amendments are consistent with the goals, general provisions and purpose of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan as proposed to be amended herein; and . The relocation of land uses and acreages within Areas F, G and H of Dublin Ranch are appropriate for the subject property in terms of land use compatibility and configuration and will provide a comprehensive plan for the development of Areas F, G and H; and o The amended land uses and text would allow the development of Main Street, a pedestrian orientated retail and service center within walking distance of high and medium high density residences as reflected on the Development Plan included as a part of Exhibit B to the Staff Report. These changes are appropriate based on analysis in the staff report, will provide a development pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, and will help implement policies of the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin; and . The amended text would allow Campus Office uses be developed on 10.5 acres of land designated for General Commercial uses within the south-west quadrant of Area H, pursuant to a Stage 2 Planned Development (PD) Rezone. The change to this land use is appropriate based upon analysis in the staff report, will result in more efficient use of land in line with market conditions, will provide a development pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, and will help implement policies of the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin; and o The revised Appendix 4 "Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Summary By Land Owner", #19 Pao-Lin represents updated information regarding land uses and acreages within the Pao-Lin property (also know as Areas F, G and H, now owned by Jennifer Lin et al) of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED TItAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby approve a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as shown on Exhibits A, B, C, D, E and F to the StaffReport for the February 15, 2000 City Council meeting for PA 98-068, PA 98-069 and PA 98-070. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of March, 2000.

"The applicant is also requesting approval of a Lot Line Adjustment and Vesting Master Tentative Map to encompass all three of the Planning Areas. The Lot Line Adjustment would modify a portion of the northerly boundary of Planning Area F to encompass a portion of Planning Area E within Planning Area F. The .19.4 acres of land to be added has been designated as a school site within Planning Area E and environmental review for this portion of the site was conducted by the City of Dublin in 1997. The Lot Line Adjustment would also modify the east-west boundary lines between Planning Areas G and H to be co-terminus with submitted Planning Area Plans. The Vesting Master Tentative Map proposes to establish smaller parcels within Planning Area G for sale to future builders. The smaller parcels to be create are consistent with related Stage 1 and Stage 2 development plan proposals. After the vesting master tentative map is finalized and recorded, it is anticipated that future tentative subdivision maps would be filed within Planning Area G to create individual building sites for residential and non-residential construction. The Vesting Master Tentative Map does not propose to subdivide property within Planning Areas For H. It is anticipated that future tentative subdivision maps would be filed in conjunction with or subsequent to Stage 2 Development Plans to divide Planning Areas F and H into small lots for building purposes. " City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 2 January 2000 Summary of Comment Letters Comment letters were received by the City of Dublin from the following agencies and organizations. · Comment Letter 1: Alameda County Flood Control District Zone 7 · Comment Letter 2: Alameda County Public Works Agency · Comment Letter 3: Martin Inderbitzen · Comment Letter 4: Lin Planning Team · Comment Letter 5: East Bay Regional Parks District · Comment Letter 6: California Department of Fish and Game · Comment Letter 7: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service · Comment Letter 8: California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region · Comment Letter 9: California Department of Transportation · Comment Letter 10: Bruce Webb, Dublin San Ramon Services District Responses to Comments This is a summary of each of the comments and the response of the City of Dublin. Each letter has been reviewed and divided into smaller comments as noted by annotations in the margin in each of the letters. Each comment is then summarized and responded to below. The full teArt of each letter with annotations follows this section. Since many of the comments relate to potential biological impacts of the projects, a master response has been formulated for this topic. Master Response to Comments Regarding Biological Resources The teArt of the three Initial Studies summarize information presented in the H.T. Harvey & Associates report for Dublin Ranch Planning Areas F, G and H (Pao Yeh Lin Property), Ecological Impacts and Mitigation (10/25/99) ("Report"). This report presents information on the status of sensitive species on the property, the amount of survey work that was conducted to determine their status, the level of impact H. T. Harvey & Associates identified regarding each species that would occur as a result of proposed development and proposed mitigation measures that would reduce the anticipated impacts to-Iess-than-significant levels. This report was used as the background for the Initial Studies and was also appended to each of the three Initial Study documents. City staff and the consulting biologist carefully reviewed the report during the Initial Study preparation process. City staff and the biological consultant also reviewed the Biological Resources analysis contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR ("EIR"). Based on these reviews staff and the biological consultant believe that any potential for significant impacts to biological resources will be avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance, in compliance with CEQA. This mitigation will occur through compliance with applicable mitigation mea,sures adopted in the EIR and identified in the Initial Studies for the projects,a,sJurther-clarified in this m(ister response. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch P A's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 3 January 2000 During the public review period, the City of Dublin received letters from the State Department of Fish and Game, United States Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies. These agencies stated their opinion that biological impacts had not been adequately analyzed or mitigated under CEQA. The City of Dublin respectfully disagrees. Through this master response and later individual responses, the City will describe the areas of disagreement and the evidence supporting the City's position. Red-Legged Frog Biological surveys of Planning Areas F, G and H conducted in 1998 and 1999 and described in the Harvey report, resulted in the observation of a single adult female red-legged frog in the Planning Area F stockpond during a July 1, 1999 site visit. Initial Studies for Planning Areas F, G and H conclude only limited use of the Planning Area F stockpond, upland grasslands and the seasonal wetlands by red-legged frogs occurs based on their low detection rate on the property. The Planning Area F Initial Study notes that red-legged frogs could breed in the stockpond. However, the appearance of a single individual after a year and a half of survey work suggest overland movement to this pond from another inhabited site. This species has been recorded from the drainage to the north (3!4 mile) and from the Fallon Road vicinity to the east (112 mile). As discussed in the Harvey report, red-legged frogs dispersing from off-site locations or the Planning Area F pond currently are able to make unrestricted movement to other suitable aquatic habitat to the north and east as described above. There is no suitable aquatic habitat between the stockpond and Interstate 580; and Interstate 580 forms a barrier to further movement to or from the south. Development along Tassajara Road blocks movement to and from the west where red-legged frogs are present in Tassajara Creek. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) notes that red-legged frogs use upland areas to forage or to move between areas of suitable aquatic habitat, The Project Impacts section of each Initial (Section IV "a") are hereby revised by reference to include the following text to clarify that the impact area includes not only the stockpond in Planning Area F, but may _alsQ include upland areas around the stockpond. "Clearing and grading could result in the loss of individual red-legged frogs and would result in the loss of any upland foraging and dispersal habitat." The Planning Area F Initial Study contains Mitigation Measure 2(iii) for red-legged frog impacts. This mitigation measure will be also revised to include the additional clarifying language and incorporated into the Initial Study by reference to read as follows: Mitigation Measure 2: Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the project builders! developers shall: (iii) Implement measures to minimize direct impacts to California red- legged frogs (initiation of construction during the dry season, May- October; seining of the impacted pond in April and May and transportation of any red-legged frogs or larvae to the Northern Drainage; preconstruction surveys; in suitable habitat, removal of vegetation by hand prior to construction; and, in suitable habitat, monitoring of construction by a herpetologist), in consultation with CDFG and the V.S, Fish & Wildlife Service (VSFWS). Enhance, restore, and preserve 4.5 acres of7riparian habitat along a 3500-foot reach of the Northern Drainage. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 4 January 2000 Removal of cattle and urinatural debris, replanting of riparian vegetation, installation of instream weirs, and creation of an in-stream or slightly off- channel pond will significantly improve conditions along this degraded stream for the red-legged frogs currently occupying the drainage and will mitigate the loss of the Planning Area F stock pond and adjoining drainages. A minimum buffer of 300 feet along the stream in the Northern Drainage will be preserved. (new text to be added): Mitigation work at the proposed 0.1 O-acre pond in the northern drainalle shall consist of removinll sediments from the bed of the former pond which existed at this site and re-establishinll the original stream channel confilluration to flow adiacent to the pond site. The pond shall provide open water and wetland habitat suitable for use bv red- legged frolls and shall be buffered bv 300-foot wide setbacks of preserved habitat. " Vernal Pool Invertebrates The Service comments on the presence of suitable habitatfor the conservancy fairy shrimp, the longhorn fairy shrimp, and the vernal pool tadpole shrimp in Planning Area H seasonal wetlands. The Planning Area H Initial Study summarizes the results of sampling for vernal pool invertebrates on and in the vicinity of Planning Area H, and the Harvey report provides additional information. No special status vernal pool invertebrates have been found on the project site or in the project vicinity. In the absence of any occurrences of these species on or in the vicinity of the site, no impacts to them m,:e expected and no mitigation measures are required. .. ; California Tiger Salamander . The Planning Area F Initial Study notes that tiger salamanders breed in the on-site stock pond and estivate in mammal burrows or other retreats in the upland portions of the site. The Initial Studies for Planning Areas G and H report on the lack of breeding habitat within their - - respective areas and conclude that upland habitat use is minimal based on a history of agricultural operations in these areas, but does recognize the possibility that the species could move across or estivate on them. The Project Impacts section (IV "a") of the Planning Area F Initial Study identifies the loss of the stockpond and surrounding upland habitat as a project impact. It does not specify the amount of impact. Section IV "a" of the Initial Study for Planning Area F is hereby revised by reference to note that all tiger salamander habitat on the site would be lost should the project be implemented. The estimated extent of this impact is shown on the attached Figure.

THARVEY & ASSOCIATES ECOLOGICAL CONSULTANTS Pao Yeh Lin: Estimated California Tiger Salamander Estivation Habitat File No. 555-26 Date 1/14/00 '''- Figure 1 Initial Studies for Planning Areas G and H state that tiger salamanders are unlikely to estivate in these planning areas and would rarely move across or otherwise occur on them due to the regular disking and other agricultural operations which occur on them. However, recognizing the possibility that salamanders could exist within these two areas, the Project Impact discussion of the Biological Resources section Initial Studies for Planning Areas G and H are hereby revised by reference to state that all potential upland tiger salamander habitat would be lost should the project be constructed The Planning Area F Initial Study contains Mitigation Measure 2 (ii), for impacts to tiger salamanders. This mitigation measure is hereby revised and incorporated by reference into the Planning Area F Initial Study to read as follows: Mitigation Measure 2: Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the project builders/developers shall: (ii) Create a new California tiger salamander breeding pond in the Northern Drainage in the fall months, prior to Q:rading or other construction activities the followinQ: spring or summer, and translocate individual tiger salamanders from the impacted pond to the new pond. The new pond will be approximately 0.7 acres in size, thereby mitigating the loss of the Area F pond at a ratio of approximately 1: 1. (new text) The acreaQ:e of estivation habitat oreserved around the created pond in the northern drainage shall be a minimum of 63 acres. The amount of estivation habitat preserved around the existinQ: off-site breedinQ: pond to be preserved shall be a minimum of 20 acres. The opportunity for interchanQ:e with other off-site breedinQ: locations shall be maintained on. both sites. A qualified herpetologist will conduct nocturnal surveys at the pond for emerging adult salamanders during significant rain events from December through February and transport individuals to the new pond. The impacted pond will then be thoroughly seined for any salamander larvae present in April and May; any larvae captured will be transported to the new pond. The new pond and adjacent estivation habitat will be preserved. In addition, existing, occupied breeding and estivation habitat off-site, :Ehe acreage to be commenSU1Q-tc '.'/ith impacted habitat, will be preserved. +he acreage of estivation . . habitat preserved LH'olHld both the created pond and the m~istin;; breeding pond to be set aside will be commensumte with the extent of impacted estivation habitat on .^..reo. F, ':lhich \vill be determined based on sffi"veys durin;; '"inter 1999/2000, or based on an a;;reemcJll-t with CDFG regLH'din;; the likely extent of suitable estivation habitat. This revised mitigation measure is adequate to reduce impacts to tiger salamanders to a less- than-significant level within Planning Areas F, G and H. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 7 January 2000 Kit Fox The Service does not concur with the findings of the Initial Studies that kit fox are absent from the project site. The Harvey report contains a description ofthe results of kit fox surveys conducted in the project vicinity since 1989 and an analysis of their results. They conclude that kit fox are not present in the Dublin area and are absent from the Pao Yeh Lin site. The information reviewed is the best available scientific information and it indicates that kit fox ate not present and the project site is outside the species' range. The surveys were conducted by professional biologists and reviewed by the City's consulting biologist. The City consultant's professional opinion and the previous report conclude that there is no potential for kit fox within the three Planning Areas. Burrowing Owl All three of the Initial Studies identify the loss of individual burrowing owls, their occupied burrows and occupied owl habitat as a potentially significant impact. Mitigation measures contained in each of the Initial Studies provide mitigation for these impacts. The mitigation measures are consistent with the requirements contained in the California Department ofFish and Game's Staff Report on Burrowing Owl mitigation dated October 17, 1995, and are considered sufficient to reduce any project impacts to this species to a less-than-significant level. Other Species The project area contains one eucalyptus tree located on the border between Planning Areas F and G, which could be used by tree nesting raptors and loggerhead shrike. The tree is proposed for removal. CDFG recommends preserving the tree for use by these species in the future. However, with development of the proposed project, the tree would no longer be a suitable nest site for these species due to the loss of surrOlll1ding foraging habitat and the greatly increased level of disturbance introduced to the area by the proposed project. Therefore, the Initial Studies for Planning Areas F and G incorporates the mitigation proposed by the CDFG in their comment letter by planting riparian-associated trees in the . northern drainage in an area proposed to be dedicated for open space. This tree planting js _ proposed for mitigating impacts to CDFG jurisdiction and would also mitigate for the loss of the eucalyptus tree. A mitigation and monitoring plan is proposed to be prepared for this work by the applicant's consulting biologist. The information in the Harvey report notes the likely presence of homed lark on the site. Loss of homed lark habitat was not identified as a significant impact in the Initial Studies due . to the large amount of similar habitat in the region and their fairly wide distribution in this area. The homed lake information in the Harvey report is evidence that there is no potential for significant impact. The Initial Studies contain mitigation measures for other grassland- associated species, including the California tiger salamander and burrowing owl. San Joaquin spearscale and Congdon's tarplant are included on the California Native Plan~ Society (CNPS) List IB. This list contains plants considered by the CNPS to be rare, threatened or endangered in California and elsewhere. They have no federal or state special status. The Initial Studies, in the absence of the ability to conduct thorough field surveys due to disking of the site, presume presence if suitable habitat is present and offers mitigation standards for their removal. The CDFG believes pursuant to Section 153_80(d) of the CEQA_Guidelines, that these species should be treated as if they were formally listed species. ThissectioI! of the CEQA City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 8 January 2000 Guidelines provides criteria by which a lead agency can determine whether a species which is not formally listed should nevertheless be treated as such for purposes of CEQA review. The criteria in the CEQA Guidelines contain qualitative definitions of "rare" and "endangered" species. City staff and the City's biological consultant reviewed the criteria for these two plants. Two plant species referred to here, while not common in the region, are known to be present at several locations in the Livermore-Amador Valley area and this were determined not to meet the criteria established by 15380(d) ofthe Guidelines. As noted in the comment from CDFG, the recreated stream channel proposed for Planning Area F surrounded by development is not expected to fully compensate for the fill of on-site drainages. The on-site channel is part of a mitigation proposal that includes an off-site component along the northern drainage that has larger buffers and greater protection from development activities. The on-site component responds to concerns over the complete elimination of natural drainages on the site. Stream improvements provided in Mitigation Measure 3(ii) would compensate for loss of additional channel length. The Initial Studies list the need for the project developer to obtain a Streambed Alteration Permit from the Department ofFish and Game under the section titled "Other Public Agency Required Approvals." Letter 1: Alameda County Zone 7 . Comment 1: On page 3 7, item c: "substantially alter drainage patterns, including streambed courses such that substantial siltation or erosion would occur," the Initial Study states that storm drain runoff would eventually flow into the Zone 7 G-3 facility immediately north of the 1-580 freeway. This is a planned facility that currently does not exist. If constructed, the G- 3 facility must meet Zone 7 standards. Response: The G-3 channel has been in operationfor some time by Zone 7. As noted in preliminary engineering studies for the G-3 and Arroyo Las Positas channels and Dublin Ranch Master drainage area (prepared by Schaaf and Wheeler dated 12/3/98) and Dublin Ranch Master Drainage Study (5/99) document the peak flows, hydraulics and hydraulic grade lines for the new and existingflows on the surrounding streams and improved channels. The studies document that the peak flows from Planning Areas F, G and H development would occur significantly sooner than the peak of the Arroyo Las Positas channel drainage basin. Therefore, the existing channel could accommodate this small amount of stormwater runoff from the proposed project and facilities have been adequately sized The drainage patterns and streambed courses of the development area would not be significantly changed and therefore, no further erosion would result to streambed or channel courses. Most of the increased flows would be in improved channels, pipes or structures so that streambed erosion would be kept to a minimum and would be improved from existing conditions. Proper erosion control measures will be undertaken in accordance with Zone 7 and Regional Water Quality Control Board criteria and policies. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch P A's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 9 January 2000 Letter 2: Alameda County Public Works Department · Comment 2.1: Drainage impacts from the proposed development on downstream facilities should be addressed. In particular, the Arroyo de la Laguna has been experiencing numerous erosion impacts and the effect ofproject runoff on the Arroyo should be addressed. Response: The drainage basin that contributes storm water runoff to this section of the Arroyo is approximately 425 square miles in size. The proposed project area constitutes approximately one tenth of one percent (0.10) of the drainage area. Based on this, any contribution to current or future Arroyo erosion would be considered less than significant. · Comment 2.2: The applicant should be required to designate haul routes to and from the site and repair any damage to County roads. Response: Comment acknowledged. This comment has beenforwarded to the Dublin Public Works Department for appropriate action during the grading and excavation phase of the project. Preliminarily, it is not believed that County roadways would be usedfor construction vehiclesfor the proposed project. · Comment 2.3: It is unclear about the WIdening and improvement of Tassajara Road, specifically within County-maintained roadway portions. Response: Comment acknowledged. The project is not anticipated to require widening or improvements to the unincorporated portions of TassajarG Road. . · Comment 2.4: All roadway and storm drain facilities in County right-of-way must conform to Alameda County Subdivision Design Guidelines and hydrology criteria and standards. Any rights-of-way dedication, road improvements, relocations, etc. shall be at no cost to the CoUnty. Response: Comment acknowledged. No improvements are proposed within County rights-of-way for the proposedproject. Letter 3: Martin Inderbitzen · Comment 3.1: Concerns raised regarding the presence of certain species within the planning area that are not present on site. Replacement language is suggested in lieu of a required 300-foot wide buffer along the stream in the northern drainage area. Please clarify that if a preconstruction survey of the site finds no burrowing owls no further mitigation would be required. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 10 January 2000 Response: See Master Response Regarding Biological Resources regarding the amount of land to be dedicated for off-site mitigation in the northern drainage area for loss of on-site habitat for the red-legged frog and California tiger salamander. Regarding burrowing owl mitigation, if the preconstruction surveys identify no burrowing owl on the site, no further mitigation would be required. · Comment 3.2: Conditions and recommendations contained in the H.T. Harvey Report dated 10/25/99 should be used as part of the three Initial Studies. Concerns are raised regarding the type and location of mitigation required. Response: Information gathered and analyzed by H T. Harvey & Associates was used as the basis of the biological impacts and mitigation measures section of all three Initial Studies. The full text of the Harvey report was included in the Appendix of each Initial Study. A peer review of this report was conducted by LSA Associates, the City's consulting biologist. Through the Master Response to Comments Regarding Biological Resources and other individual responses, some of the Harvey report mitigation measures have been augmentedfor clarification. City staff and the City's consulting biologist feel the mitigation measures contained in the Initial Studies, as modified in this Response to Comment document, are generally consistent with the Harvey report. · Comment 3.3: Mitigation Measure 5 requires the project to make a fair share coritribution to downstream drainage improvements. Zone 7 currently requires payment of a fee to the District and payment of the fee to the District would satisfy a fair share contribution. Therefore, the mitigation measure should be removed. Response: Payment of afee by the project sponsors to Zone 7 would likely satisfy the Mitigation Measure. However, the City prefers to maintain the mitigation measure in the event there are drainage improvements requiredfor the project over and above that which would be covered by the fee. . Comment 3.4: The Mitigation Measure dealing with flood protection should read: "Applicant shall remove habitable portion of the project site from the I DO-year FEMA floodplain prior to occupancy permits being issued." Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to replace appropriate Mitigation Measures in the Initial Studiesfor Planning Areas G and H to the following language: "The project developer(s) shall remove habitable portions of the project from the IOO-year FEMA flood plain prior to building permits being issued. " · Comment 3.5: Much of the teA'! of the Initial Studies appear to be written generally so as to cover all tl:rree Planning Areas, Because of this, clarifications are needed to prevent inaccuracies, such as cultural resources and the lack of Tiger Salamander outside of Planning Area F, .. - City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 11 January 2000 Response: Based on the Harvey report, the California Tiger Salamander has been identified in Planning Area F. Based upon an amplification of the Initial Study information contained in the Master Response Regarding Biological Resources, the movement and estivation of tiger salamander species is noted within Planning Areas G and H However, the presence of these species is anticipated to be minimal, due to regular disking and agricultural operations on these two Planning Areas. To ensure that fUll protection is provided in the unlikely event that unidentified archeological or paleontological resources are discovered anywhere in the three planning areas, the City prefers to maintain the language of these mitigation measures. These mitigation measures respond to Impact 3.9 B set forth in the Eastern Dublin EIR and are consistent with the mitigation measures outlined in this previous EIR. · Comment 3.6: The Initial Studies include numerous traffic mitigation measures that are specific and that have been taken from the project traffic report. The mitigation measures assume that a long list of development projects and related traffic improvements would occur. The listing of projects is highly speculative and may not be accurate, Instead, the mitigation measure for the three planning area projects should require that an acceptable level of service is maintained that may include the list attached. Traffic mitigation measures apply to all three planning areas, not each individual area. -. Response: Cumulative traffic impacts and mitigation measures have been developed using the "list" method of known and probable projects. It is believed that these projects will be developed before or simultaneously with the three Dublin Ranch. _ Planning Areas (F-H), although this cannot be assured. The City of Dublin prefers to list specific mitigation measure elements rather than a broad mitigation measure, as suggested by the commenter. This will assist the City in fulfilling its legal responsibility of mitigation monitoring and reporting. Changes to specific mitigation measures may be allowed by the City of Dublin at the time of subdivision approval based on further traffic analysis at some point in the future. The traffic sections of each of the three Initial Studies are, in fact, identical, given the close interconnectivity of the three planning areas in terms of traffic and transportation impacts. · Comment 3.7: The population figures and associated park requirements for Planning Areas F and H have been miscalculated. The numbers in the Initial Study represent dwelling units rather than population. Additionally, the park acreage requirement per capita has been miscalculated. City requirement includes 1.5 acres for local parks and 3.5 acres for community parks, whereas the Initial Studies use a 5-acre park requirement all for local parks, Response: Estimates of park requirements for the project included in the Initial Study are in error. For the three Planning Areas, the City uses. (J.neighborhood park dedication requirementof 1:5 acres per 1000 residents. The amount of parkland City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 12 January 2000 proposed in Planning Areas F and G exceed this standard. The requirement for community parks is calculated separately and accounts for the remainder portion of Dublin Ranch. The impact remains less-than-significant with regard to the provision of parkland. · Comment 3.8: Regarding noise exposure, no residential development is proposed in Planning Area H, so it is inappropriate to apply exterior residential noise standards to non-residential land uses. Also, only a portion of Planning Area G is proposed for residential land uses, so the imposition of residential noise exposure standards is inappropriate here too. Response: The Initial Study for Planning Area H identifies the existing noise environment for all three adjacent Planning Areas and indicates the range of existing noise mitigation measures adopted as part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. No new noise mitigation measures are required for this project. The commenter is correct that no residential development is proposedfor Planning Area H, which is confirmed by the Initial Study project description. Acoustic mitigation measures for Planning Area H would only apply to residential development occurring within the Planning Area. · Comment 3.9: No residential development is proposed within Planhing Area H, so all references to inclusionary housing requirements and residential zoning should be removed. Response: The commenter is correct, and the paragraph in the Project Description _ dealing with inclusionary housing requirements is hereby removed by reference from the Planning Area H Initial Study. . · Comment 3.10: The t~rminology "intermittent creeks," "creek" and/or "streams" should be removed since none of these exist on the property. Instead, the terms "defined drainages" or "swales" should be used. Response: The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan identifies two "intermittent streams" within Planning Area F (Figure ], 7B). For all other natural drainage features south of the stock pond in Area F the terms "defined drainage areas" are hereby incorporated by reference. Comment 4: Lin Planning Team · Comment 4.1: Much of the text is written generally to cover all three project areas which makes information confusing and not appropriate to the specific planning area. Response: In many instances, the background and impact information for all three Planning Areas are gemfrall)lthe .same, since a high degree of interconnectivity exists City of Dublin Page 13 Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H January 2000 Response to Comments between the three areas. Examples of this include noise, drainage and traffic. Other topics have been specifically tailored for each planning area, for example, biological impacts and population and housing impacts. . Comment 4.2: Area H, page 3, second line, the use of the word vacant is wrong, since agricultural and cattle grazing occur on the site. Response: The term "vacant" was intended to convey that the site is devoid of buildings or structures, The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to reflect the historical and on-going grazing and agricultural uses of the property. The property is therefore not considered vacant. . Comment 4.3: Area H, page 3, project description, first paragraph, does not mention that a master tentative tract map is also proposed which should be included in the Initial Study, Response: See the Clarification to Initial Studies Project Descriptions discussion contained in the Response to Comments. . Comment 4.4: Figure number should be;: 2 not 3. . Response: The commenter is correct that the exhibit is mislabeled. This correction is hereby included by reference into the Area H Initial Study. Comment 4.5: Area H, Project Description, it is not necessarily true that a Stage 2 PD rezone application will be filed at the same time as the tentative tract map and Site - Development Review. This application could be submitted prior to or with a Tentative Tract Map.and/or Site Development Review application. Response: The commenter is correct, the filing of such applications would not need to be done simultaneously. The project description is thereby corrected by reference to include the updated information. Comment 4.6: Area H, Internal collector roads are only one instance of providing a roadway system. The final system may include a collector loop or other system. The final system will be determined prior to submittal of individual tentative tract maps. The Initial Study implies this is the only solution and the term "collector" should be deleted. Response: The project description contained in the Initial Study was not meant to imply that collector roads would be the only interior means of circulation. It was meant to differentiate local facilities, such as local and collector roads which would be constructed by individual subdividers, from other major roadways which would be constructed with assessment district financing. Therefore, there is no need to delete the word (Icollector. " City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 14 January 2000 · Comment 4.7: Area H, page 5, second paragraph, no housing is proposed for Planning Area H so language describing City indusionary housing requirements should be deleted from the Initial Study. Response: The commenter is correct and all discussion related to inclusionary housing requirements in Planning Area H is hereby deleted by reference. · Comment 4.8: Area H, page 5, second paragraph under Assessment Districts should be corrected to read "assessment districts ,t rather than "initial study." Response: The commenter is correct and the Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference as noted. · Comment 4.9: Area H, page 5, project description, first paragraph, although a lot line adjustment has been requested a master tentative tract map is also requested as part of the application and should be noted in the project description section of the Initial Study. Response: Refer to comment and response 4.3. · Comment 4.10: Area H, page 10, references to "permits" should be changed to "authorization" or "401 Certification." Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to note that "authorizations" are requiredfrom the Regional Water Quality Control Board _ "Permits" would still be required to be issued by the Corps of Engineers and California Department of Fish and Game for streambed alteration. · Comment 4.11: Area H, page 10, reference is not made regarding a master tentative tract map as part of the project. Response: Refer to Response 4.3. . Comment 4.12: Area H, page 11, the section heading on this page identifies a category of "potentially significant impacts" which is not shown in the checklist which follows. Many of the impacts are listed as "less than significant with mitigation measures." The Initial Study should state that impacts are potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated. Response: The changes identified above are correct and are incorporated by reference into this Initial Study and the Initial Studies for Planning Areas F and G as well. The "The Less Than Significant with Mitigation 1/ checklist heading corresponds to No.4 under Evaluation ofEnvironmentai Impacts. As reflected in the comment, City of Dublin Dublin Ranch P A's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 15 January 2000 mitigation measures would reduce these impacts from "potentially significant" to "less than significant. " · Comment 4.13: Area H, page 13, refer to Item 27. Response: See response to Comment 4.28. · Comment 4.14: Area H, checklist, question the box checked off: shouldn't the Ii less than significant impact" or "no impact" box be checked instead of "less than significant after mitigation" for the Public Services section? Response: The box in question was checked offin error. It should not have been checked since this box is a topic heading and checkmarks have been provided for individual components within the Public Services section (i.e., fire, police, schools, etc.). This correction to the Initial Study is hereby made by reference. · Comment 4.15: Area H, checklist, question the "no impact" box checked off regarding the Mandatory Finding of Significance "all and "b." Shouldn't these be changed to "less than significant?" Response: The original response was based onfull implementation'ofmitigation measures,. Upon further consideration, it may be more appropriate to check off the "less than significant" boxes for subsections "a" and "b" in the Mandatory Findings of Significance section. These changes are hereby made and incorporated by reference into the text of the Initial Study. These revisions also assume full implementation of mitigation measures. · Comment 4 .16: Area H, page 23, the reference to Planning Area F should be revised to. Planning Area H. Response: This change is hereby made and incorporated by reference into the text of the Initial Study. · Comment 4.17: Refer to Comment 1 regarding the term "vacant." Response: Refer to Comment and Response 4.2. · Comment 4.18: Area H, page 24, Aesthetics, the use ofthe word "former" is inaccurate as the site is still being used for agriculture. Response: This change, to delete the word "former," is hereby made and incOlporated by reference into the tex(ofthe Initial Study. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 16 January 2000 · Comment 4.19: Area H, page 24, Aesthetics, when a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been adopted, the impact remains potentially significant and unavoidable, it is not reduced to a level of less than significant. Response: The comment is correct, The intent of the referenced statement is to indicate that since the impact was previously addressed in a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Eastern Dublin SPIGP EIR, no additional analysis is required In regard to the last line in subparagraph "a" on page 24, the referenced statement is hereby revised and incorporated by reference to delete the words" less than significant impacts would result for this project and" This project would have no impact beyond that previously addressed in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, " · Comment 4.20: Area H, page 24, Aesthetics, when a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been adopted, the impact remains potentially significant and unavoidable, it is not reduced to a level of less than significant. Response: See above response. Accordingly, the last full line of the referenced text is hereby amended and incorporated by reference into the Initial Study to delete reference to reduction of the impact to less than significance. · Comment 4.21: Area H, page 25, Agricultural Resources, when a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been adopted, the impact remains potentially significant and unavoidable, it is not reduced to a level of less than significance. Response: Refer to above responses to Comments 4.19 and 4.20. Although the comment is correct, impacts to Agricultural Resources were previously addressed in the Statement o.fOverriding Considerations adoptedfor the Eastern Dublin SPIGP EIR and no further analysis is needed for this Initial Study. However, the reference to "less than significant" impacts are hereby deleted and incorporated by reference into the Initial Study. · Comment 4.22: Area H, page 25, refer to Item 19 (Comment 4.20). Response: See response to Comment 4.19 and 4.20. References to "less than significant" impacts are hereby deleted and incOlporated by reference into the Initial Study. · Comment 4.23: Area H, page 26, Biological Resources, Environmental Setting, the word "one" should be replaced with "at least once." Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to make the above change. . City of Dublin. Dublin Ranch P A's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 17 January 2000 · Comment 4.24: Area H, page 28, Wetlands, this sentence is not accurate. CDFG jurisdictional habitat does not exist in Area H. This occurs in a ditch paralleling the frontage road which extends from the elevated farm road to the G- 3 channel. Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected to note that Us. Army Corps of Engineers wetlands exist within Planning Area H · Comment 4.25: Area H, page 28, Project Impacts, section implies that that certain plant arid animal species are present on the site when evidence has been presented to the contrary. Refer to the H.T. Harvey report. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 4.26: Exhibit 5 title should be changed to "jurisdictional area" and not "wetlands." The exhibit shows all water subject to Corps jurisdiction, not just wetlands. Response: The title of Exhibit 5 is hereby changed by reference to read "Jurisdictional Waters of the us. Including Wetlands." . Comment 4.27: Area H, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures "a," there are no tiger salamanders within Area G based on on-site surveys. The reference needs to be removed. Also, there is confusion regarding the burrowing owl. If owls are not found on the site, then a habitat set-aside is not required. Response: See Master Response to Biological Resources regarding the potential presence of tiger salamander habitat within Planning Area H Regarding burrowing owl within the Planning Areas, if required preconstruction surveys fail to find burrowing owl, no additional mitigation. would be required . Comment 4.28: Area H, page 30, Cultural Resources, Based on the Final EIR, no significant resources have been identified in Area H, only Area F. Therefore, the Initial Study is inaccurate in indicating the possibility of resources within this Planning Area. Response: To ensure that full protection is provided in the unlikely event that unidentified archeological or paleontological resources are discovered anywhere in the three planning areas, the City prefers to maintain the language of these mitigation measures. These mitigation measures respond to Impact 3.9B set forth in the Eastern Dublin EIR and are consistent with the mitigation measures outlined in this previous EIR. · Comment 4.29: Area H,page)O, Biological- Resources, believe it is inappropriate to specify a biological resoUrces mitigation site in North Livermore. The location of any City of Dublin Page 18 Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H January 2000 Response to Comments mitigation area will be dependent on discussions with the Corps of Engineers and the Initial Study text should be revised to "23 acres." Response: The reference to the North Livermore site has been taken from the Harvey report, which has been used as the basis for biological impacts and mitigation measures. A site in North Livermore. was identified in the report as a potential off- site mitigation for biological resource impacts. · Comment 4.30: Area H, page 31 and throughout, why are Planning Areas F and G discussed here? This is the initial stucj.y only for Area H. Response: The topic in question is hydrology and drainage, although this is not specified in the comment, Adjacent Planning Areas have been included to discuss how the drainage of Planning Area H is linked to adjacent areas. Similarly, other references to adjacent Planning Areas have been provided where a logical linkage to the adjacent areas exist, such as traffic and transportation. . Comment 4.31: Area H, page 32, first full paragraph, delete the phrase "minimizing grading on steep slopes." Response: The phrase has been included since it describes one of n:zany mitigation measures included in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan which apply to this and all other development proposals in the eastern Dublin area. Only those mitigation measures with applicability would be enforced - . for Planning Area H On page 31 of the Planning Area H Initial Study, under the discussion of Landform and Topography, notes that the site is relatively flat with-an - approximate grade change of approximately 4 feet over the Planning Area site. . Comment 4.32: Area H, page 33, hydrology, the following sentence is not accurate: "The project site is hilly with several intermittent creeks flowing through it." There are no hills or intermittent creeks in Planning Area H, only defined drainages. Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to delete the reference to intermittent streams and replace this language with the term "defined drainages. " . Comment 4.33: Area H, page 33, mitigation measure, text regarding NPDES permits needs to be revised to say "file a notice of intent with the state" rather than "obtain a notice of intent from the state." Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference. · Comment 4.34: Area H, page 35, Mitigation Measure 6, this measure would require the developer to pay a fair share contribution for downstream drainage improvements. ACFC Zone 7 has an existing-drainage program for this PurPose and the project will pay these fees. Therefore, the need for further study is not needed. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 19 January 2000 Response: Payment of afee by the project sponsors to Zone 7 would likely satisfy the Mitigation Measure. However, the City prefers to maintain the mitigation measure in the event there are drainage improvements required of the project over and above that which would be covered by the fee. · Comment 4.35: Area H, page 35, "g," "h" and "i," the project developer has already obtained a conditional letter of map revision from FEMA where FEMA has agreed to take the portions of the site out of the flood plain. The mitigation measure should be re-written as follows: "The applicant shall remove habitable portions of the project from the 1 aD-year FEMA flood plain prior to occupancy permits being issued." Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to replace Mitigation . Measure 7 with substantially the above wording, Mitigation Measure 7 now reads:" The project developer(s) shall remove habitable portions of the project from the 100-year FEMA flood plain prior to building permits being issued. " · Comment 4.36 Area H, page 35 "h" and "i," the Initial Study notes that there would be no hazards due to dam or levee break because the existing stock pond in Planning Area F would be removed. A comment.,should probably be added that in the event the pond is not removed, embankments will be reinforced to eliminate dam failure as a potential hazard. Response: The Initial Study has been prepared based on the assumption that the stock pond existing within Planning Area F would be removed to accommodate proposed - land uses shown in the applicant's request for development within Planning Area F .if the stock pond were to remain, a revised application would need to be filed with the City and additional environmental documentation performed. · Comment 4.37: Area H, page 37, noise, Environmental Setting, The paragraph in the Initial Study regarding noise should be re-written to reflect that no residential development is proposed in Planning Area H. Secondly, use of soundwalls along 1- 580 are excluded (sic) from occurring pursuantto the Eastern Dublin Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards. Response: The environmental setting portion of the Planning Area H Initial Study describes existing noise conditions in general terms for all three of the adjacent Planning Areas, based on the noise section contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Although a brief reference to residential noise standards is made in the Noise section of the Checklist explanation, the Project Description for the Initial Study clearly states that no residential development is proposed within Planning Area H There is no requirement or mitigation measure contained in the Initial Study to require noise barrier walls to be con~tructed adjacent tOJhis Planning Area. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PAIs F, G & H Response to Comments Page 20 January 2000 · Comment 4.38: Area H, page 38, project impacts and mitigation measures "a," the Initial Study lists fire sprinklers as an element of the project. There may be portions of the project that may not require sprinklers so that this comment should be removed. Response: The discussion contained in the Initial Study is intended as a general listing of.fire prevention measures which may be required by the Alameda County Fire Department as part of the review of individual development projects. Inclusion of fire sprinklers is not listed as a specific mitigation measure. There is no need to remove this comment since sprinklers could be requiredfor portions of the project. · Comment 4.39: Area H, page 43, there is no Table 2 on Page 43, Comparison of Trip Generation. Why has this table not been included in the document? Response: Table 2 may have been inadvertedly left out and is attached to this memorandum. It is hereby incorporated by reference into the Initial Study for Planning Area H The purpose of including this table is to show that the combined peak hour traffic generation from the three Planning Areas is not significantly higher than and generally consistent with the approved Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and associated EIR. . Comment 4.40: Area H, page 44, traffic Mitigation Measures 7 an~ 8, the Initial Study includes numerous traffic mitigation measures that are very specific and are assumed to be taken directly from the project traffic report. Mitigation measures contained in the traffic report are based on a number of other projects that" may not occur. Instead, the project should be conditioned to maintain acceptable levels of service and the list of recommended improvements may include the list attached: . Response: Cumulative traffic impacts and mitigation measures have been developed using the "list" method of known and probable projects. It is believed that these projects will be developed before or simultaneously with the three Dublin Ranch Planning Areas (F-H), although this cannot be assured. The City of Dublin prefers to list specific mitigation measure elements rather than a broad mitigation measures, as suggested by the commenter. This will assist the City in fulfilling its legal responsibility of mitigation monitoring and reporting. Changes to specific mitigation measures may be allowed by the City of Dublin at the time of subdivision approval based onjUrther traffic analysis at some point in the future. . Comment 4.41: Area H, page 46, "d" and "g," substitute Planning Area H for Planning Area F. Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to replace references to Planning Area Fwith Planning Area H . · Comment 4.42: Area H, page 46~ "e," no new residences are planned in Area H.

City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 27 January 2000 · Comment 4.58: Area G, page 33, project impacts and mitigation measures, "b," the text is difficult to understand, since there is little, if any, recharge of groundwater. The dense clay layer near the surface prevents downward mov~ment of water. Response: The Initial Study references back to the previous EIR. Based on the type of soil present on the site, groundwater recharge would be minimal. No change to the Initial Study is therefore required · Comment 4.59: Area G, page 33, project impacts and mitigation measures, "e," refer to earlier comment regarding the absence of streams on the site. Response: See earlier response regarding corrections to the Initial Study to incorporate this change. References to intermittent streams within Planning Area G are hereby replaced with the term "defined drainages. " · Comment 4.60: Area G, page 34, item "e," fifth line, refer to previous comment concerning streams. Response: See Response to Comment 4.59. · Comment 4.61: Area G, page 35, "h" and "i'" the discussion does not answer the question. . Response: The checklist question is "would the proposed project place housing within- an area that would impede or redirect floodwaters, including flood water caused by a dam or levee failure. " The response is that a small portion of Planning Area G currently lies within a 1 OO-year flood plain, however, project developers must adhere to Mitigation Measure 6 which would ensure that all habitable portions of the site be raised outside of the 100- year flood plain. It is assumed that the City of Dublin and/or FEMA would not approve grading plans that would redirect storm water in such a manner as to place other structures within a flood hazard area. It has also been assumed, based on submitted plans and written descriptions submitted by the applicant, that the stock pond within Planning Area F would be removed as part of the project, so that there would be no flooding hazardfrom a dam or levee break. · Comment 4.62: Area G, page 35, Land Use and Planning, last line, 240 dwellings should be revised to reflect 275 dwellings. Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to note that approval of the proposed Planning Area G SPAlGPA would result in an increase of275 dwelling units over the existing Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, not 240 dwelling units as identified in the Initial Study. Based on successful mitigation of all potential impacts City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 28 January 2000 to levels of less than significance, an increase of up to 275 dwelling units is not believed to result in any significant impacts. · Comment 4.63: Area G, page 36, Noise, Environmental Setting, second paragraph, refer to Area H, item 36 (Comment 4.37) concerning non-residential noise standards. Response: See response to Comment 4.37. · Comment 4.64: Area G, page 36, Noise, Environmental Setting, third paragraph, this statement is inaccurate and should be revised. The sentence does not separate noise exposure levels by land use type and infers that that the projected noise level within all of Area G has an overlay of 65 dB with the rest of the Area having less than 65 dB. Additionally, does not add the disclaimer included in Area H, being that foreground buildings, walls, etc. will attenuate and reduce much of the noise before it reached Area G. This statement has more bearing on this Area as it has a greater distance from the freeway. Finally, the text needs to be revised to c1arifythat Areas G and F are not impacted by noise generated by Tassajara Road. Response: The Environmental Setting section summarizes existing andfuture noise levels on the site based on information contained in the EDSP EIR. It clearly references other source documents that should be consulted for a full discussion of noise impacts by land use type. The Environmental section also clearly notes that noise exposure within the Planning Aret;[ is expected to be reducedto a level consistent with City standards in the future based on distances from roads and the planned construction of intervening structures. This includes Tassajara Road. There is nothing in the text that needs to be corrected or modified. · Comment 4.65: Area G, page 37, Population and Housing, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures, the total population number should be 2,808, not 1,404 as listed. Two lines later afigure of2,084 is listed for the approved Planning Area G Plan. If this is the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, this number is in error. The EDSP permits818 dwelling units, which works out to 1,636 residents. Ifthis 2,084 figure is not the EDSP population for.Area G, is additional explanation needed? Area F population should be included in this discussion, as land uses and densities have been re-allocated between the two areas. Response: The Initial Study incorrectly reported the ultimate, expected total population of Planning Area G. Based on information supplied by the applicant, the Planning Area is currently approvedfor an estimated population of 1,636 people (818 dwellings x 2. 0 persons per dwelling, based on persons-per-unit figures contained in the EDSP). The proposed amendment would allow approximately 2,808 persons (1,404 dwellings x 2.0 persons-per unit). All other impacts, such as traffic, utilities and services, have been based on the number of dwelling units included in this response and no additional analysis is warranted. As noted in the Project Descriptions in the Initial Studies for Planning Areas F and G, the applicant desires to relocate residential and commercial land uses between these two Planning Areas, so any net increase inpopulationfor the two Planning City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments . Page 29 January 2000 Areas over the existing Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan would be small and less than significant. · Comment 4.66: Area G, page 40, "b," third line, the number of residents for Area G should be revised to 2,808 residents. The estimates for park dedications are also incorrect. The Initial Study uses the incorrect population and secondly it uses the standard of5 acres of park for 1,000 residents. Per City standard, local parks are only 1.5 acres of the total, with community parks making up the remaining 3.5 acres per 1,000. Hence, the 7.02 acre figure should be revised for local parks. This will also affect the overall Area F and G park acreage, which should be revised Environmental Setting, second paragraph, Refer to Area H, item 36 (Comment 37) concerning non- residential noise standards. Response: The commenter is correct. See response to Comment 4.65 regarding the future estimated population for Planning Area G. Based on the corrected anticipated corrected population for Planning Area G, an anticipated 4.2 acres of neighborhood parks would be required based on a ratio of 1.5 acres of neighborhood parks per 1000 residents. · Comment 4.67: Area G, page 45 and throughout, revise the four references to Area F to Area G.

Response: The changes identified above are incorporated by reference into this Initial Study. · Comment 4.82: Area F, page 31, Biological Impacts "iii," the reference to a minimum 300-foot buffer along the stream to the northern drainage should be replaced with "appropriate buffers along the drainage will be preserved." This is because the specific dimension will be dependent on outcomes of discussions with other regulatory agencies. The term "stream" should be replaced with the term "tributary drainage. " Response: See Master Response to Biological Impacts. Mitigation Measure 2 (iii) has been modified as outlined in the Master Response. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch P A's F l G & H Response to Comments Page 32 January 2000 · Comment 4.83: Area F;page 32, Biological Impacts, mitigation measure, this section described the proposed mitigation configuration, yet says, .. "will be filled and later recreated." This implies that the proposed mitigation is the existing condition to be filled and recreated. "Filled and later recreated near its former location" should be changed to "created" to clarify that these are the measurements for the constructed feature and not the jurisdictional area. Additionally, the third line refers to "in-kind" mitigation. "In-kind" mitigation is not proposed, but mitigation has been proposed in terms of seasonally ponded wetlands. Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to reflect that the channel to be constructed will be "created" rather than "recreated " The original text was taken from the H T. Harvey & Associates report. · Comment 4.84: Area F, page 32, Biological Impacts, Mitigation Measure 3 (ii), unclear what this mitigation measure is calling for. Refer to Harvey Report. Response: Mitigation Measure 3(ii), which is based on the Harvey report, would require the project developer(s) to provide off-site mitigationfor loss of the on-site stockpond, which also serves as a breeding pond for red-legged frogs and tiger salamander. · Comment 4.85: Area F, page 35, first and fifth paragraphs, the Initial Study indicates a history of landslides, however, the geotechnical report only indicates that there is evidence of previous landholding in some of the swales, It does not indicate extensive landsliding as noted in the Initial Study. . Response: The changes identified above are inc01porated by reference into this InitiaL Study to note that there has been a history of land sliding in some of the swales and does not imply widespread landsliding throughout the Planning Area. · Comment 4.86: Area F, page 35, Drainage, "stream" should be revised to read "defmed drainage." Response: Figure 3.7-B clearly shows the presence of intermittent streams within Planning Area F north of the existing stock pond The Planning Area F Initial Study is hereby modified to reflect the presence of defined drainages south of the existing stock pond. · Comment 4.87: Area F, page 37, and throughout, the Initial Study should be revised to reflect that there are no intermittent streams or creeks in the Planning Area, only defined drainages. Response: See response to Comment 4.86. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 33 January 2000 · Comment 4.88: AreaF, page 39, Land Use and Planning, Project Impacts "b" second paragraph, the last sentence doesn't make sense, please advise regarding changes to the Circulation Element. Response: The Initial Study is corrected by reference to delete references "to previous Circulation Element" changes. · Comment 4.89: Area F, page 39, Land Use and Planning, Project Impacts "b" second paragraph, the number of dwelling units should be changed to indicate 275 dwellings instead of240. Response: See response to Comment 4,62. · Comment 4.90: Area F, page 40, Noise, Environmental Setting, the statement that minor portions of Area F would be subject to long term noise is not correct, since the 60 d line parallels existing Central Parkway. Secondly, Tassajara Road is not a noise. source affecting Planning Area F. Lastly, the section does not add a disclaimer that much of the noise reaching Area F would be reduced by intervening structures prior to reaching Area F. Response: The Initial Study is corrected'by reference to note that Planning Area F is outside of the future significant noise exposure level as indicated in the Eastern Dublin EIR. However, there remains a possibility of future significant noise based on vehicle travel on local streets, Mitigation Measures contained in the Eastern Dublin EIR would still require individual acoustical analysis for individual subdivisions within Planning Area F as they may be proposedfor development. · Comment 4.91: Area F, page 41, Population and Housing, Project Impacts "a," lines 9 and 11, the Initial Study does not reflect the most recent dwelling unit count. Instead of 1,677 for an estimated population, a population of 1,669 should be used. Instead of a population of 1,091 in the existing SP/GP, the number should be 1,092. Response: The Initial Study is corrected by reference to reflect the above population numbers. · Comment 4.92: AreaF, page 43, Recreation, Project Impacts "a," first paragraph, first sentence, the Initial Study does not reflect that just for Area F, the amended plan proposes a lower population figure that the existing EDSP. Only if both Areas F and G are taken together would the population estimate exceed the existing EDSP population figures. Response: The comment is correct. The City still prefers to consider cumulative impacts of all three SPIGP applications in terms of population, traffic, recreation and others. . h- , -- City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 34 January 2000 · Comment 4.93: Area F, page 43, Recreation, Project Impacts "b," the population figure should be 1,669 and not 1,677. Response: The Initial Study is corrected by reference to reflect the above population number. · Comment 4.93: Area F, page 43, Recreation, Project Impacts "b," the population figure should be 1,669 and not 1,677. Response: The Initial Study is corrected by reference to reflect the above population number. · Comment 4.94: Area F, page 44, Recreation, Project Impacts, first paragraph, the paragraph is supposed to be discussing neighborhood park requirements, however, the figures stated includes both neighborhood and community park requirements. The last sentence should be rewritten to say that the overall Areas F and G neighborhood park requirement is 6.7 acres while the two Area Plans propose 16.8 acres. This results in an excess of 10.1 neighborhood park acres than is required to be dedicated. Response: Estimates of park requirements for the project included in the Initial Study are in error. For the three Planning Areas, the City uses a neighborhood park dedication requirement of 1.5 acres per 1000 reSIdents. The amount of parkland proposed in Planning Areas F and G exceed this standard. The requirement for community parks is calculated separately and accounts for the remainder portiori of - Dublin Ranch. The impact remains less-than-significant with regard to the provision of parkland. · Comment 4.95: Area F, page 51, "e," wastewater disposal is not discussed. - Response: Wastewater disposal is discussed in the Eastern Dublin EIR (Impact 3.5/G), which has been incorporated by reference as part of the Initial Study. With adherence to Mitigation Measures 3.5/11-14, impacts related to wastewater disposal would be reduced to an insignificant level. Comment 5: East Bay Regional Parks District .. COl11p1ent 5.1: The subject Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies Tassajara Creek as the proposed location for biological mitigation for the Dublin Ranch projects by preserving, enhancing and restoring a 5,200 foot section of Tassajara Creek north of the proposed Greenbriar development. The District is concerned that a large portion of the proposed mitigation site is owned by the District and would therefore not be available for mitigation for the Dublin Ranch project. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 35 January 2000 Response: The Mitigation Measure referenced in this comment proposes the enhancement and restoration ofhabitat along a portion ofTassajara Creek, as contained in the Harvey report. This and other mitigation measures presented in this report are identified as options for mitigation of riparian/wetland impacts to Planning Areas F and H Impacts to riparian resources occur only in Planning Area F, and that Initial Study includes mitigation for the loss of riparian habitat. The mitigation for Planning Area F riparian is the creation of an 810-foot long drainage on the site and restoration and enhancement of a portion of the Northern Drainage. Restoration and enhancement of riparian habitat along Tassajara Creek may be a proposal associated with development of the remainder of Dublin Ranch. A record of survey performed by the applicant's surveyor has determined that the proposed mitigation area along Tassajara Creek is within the Dublin Ranch property. Afigure has been attached, provided by the project applicant, that presents known property boundaries in the area.

Many of these impacts were not properly addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan (EDSP) ElR. The City may wish to postpone consideration of the subject Dublin Ranch applications until such time as conflicts between development and species conservation have been resolved.. The District recommends revisions to the EDSP and ElR as recommended by USFWS, the preparation of a multi-species habitat conservation plan and other studies to examine cumulative impacts to special-status speCIes. Response: The City of Dublin is satisfied that the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR, supplemented by additional biological analyses, contained in the Harvey report for the proposed Dublin Ranch Planning Area F, G and H developments, are adequate to meet the requirements of CEQA. The Harvey report analysis reviews potential impacts to species identified in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR as well as species identified since certification of that EIR. Mitigation measures adopted as part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR have been applied by reference to the three proposed Dublin Ranch projects. Additional. refined mitigation measures are set forth in the Harvey report as modified by the Response to Comments. Also refer to the response to Comment 6.1 on this topic. Comment Letter 6: California Department of Fish and Game · Comment 6.1: The Department does not believe that the FElR for the Eastern Dublin - Specific Plan/General Plan fully discusses species occurrences, including impacts to species not covered or adequately addressed in the original FElR. This FElR should therefore not be referenced as adequate under CEQA for disclosure or providing mitigation for these species, Response: The City of Dublin is satisfied that the EDSP EIR, supplemented by additional biological analyses, such as have been recently prepared by H T Harvey for the proposed Dublin Ranch Planning Area F, G and H developments, are adequate to meet the requirements ofCEQA. The Harvey report analysis reviews potential impacts to species identified in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR as well as species identified since certification of that EIR. The previous EIR contained extensive discussion of potential impacts to numerous species. It anticipated potential effects to all of the species mentioned in the CDFG comment letter and identifies mitigation measures as necessary to reduce identified impacts to less-than-significant levels (se Section 3.7 of the EDSP EIR). For example Impact 3. 7/F addresses destruction of small water features which provide habitat for red- legged frogs. This impact was reviewed and refined as part of the Dublin Ranch project by Harvey & Associates, as the site moves closer to potential development. Mitigation measures set forth in the cfjrtifiedEIR continu~ to be applied to implementing projects, suchas Planning Areas F, G and H'Mitigation measures City of Dublin Page 38 Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H January 2000 Response to Comments include requirements such as vegetation enhancement/management plans for open space areas (MM 3. 7/2.0) and preconstruction surveys for certain species (MM 3. 7/20,0) and numerous other measures, Impacts and mitigations to other species, such as the California Tiger Salamander, burrowing owl, American badger and others, are also addressed in the EDSP EIR, Further mitigation measures required as part of the Initial Studiesfor Planning Areas F, G and H build on the EIRfoundation to clarify and provide more project-specific detail, The City's consulting biologist has reviewed the original EDSP mitigation measures, the currently proposed mitigation measures and the comment by CDFG. In the professional opinion of the consulting biologist, the previous mitigation measures set forth in the EDSP EIR together with the mitigation measures proposed in the three Initial Studies will reduce potential biological impacts to less than significant levels. · Comment 6.2: The Department does not believe mitigation measures set forth in the Mitigated Negative Declarations would reduce potential impacts to a point of less- than-significance as required by CEQA. A mandatory finding of significance must be made. Response: The City of Dublin is satisfied that compliance with CEQA has been achieved through the three proposed Initial Studies and proposed issuance of Mitigated Negative Declarations. Full disclosure of impacts to biological resources have been made in the Initial Studies, supplemented by additional information contained in the Master Response to Biological resources contained in this Response to Comments. Mitigation has also been proposed so that impacts to biological resources will be reduced to a level of less than significance. · Comment 6.3: It is the opinion ofthe Department that construction of the project- would result in fragmentation of habitat and blocking of movement corridors of the red-legged frog and that the mitigation proposed is not adequate to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources which addresses blockage of movement corridors. · Comment 6.4: The Department does not agree with the finding contained in the Initial Study regarding the migration pattern of the red-legged frog and that the impact to this species has been underestimated. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 6.5: Areas along Tassajara Creek are identified as the proposed mitigation area for red-legged frog impacts. The Department believes the proposed mitigation area is owned by the East Bay Regional Parks District and may not be available for mitigation. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 39 January 2000 Response: See the response for Comment 5.1. · Comment 6.6: Surveys and mitigation measures for red-legged frogs should follow established USFWS and Department guidelines. Response: Surveys for sensitive biological species comply with the previously adopted Eastern Dublin EIR, Additional surveys will follow applicable Agency and Department guidelines. · Comment 6.7: The Department does not agree with the finding contained in the Initial Study that mitigation measures related to estivation habitat for the California Tiger Salamander will be commensurate with Area F only. The Department believes all of Areas F, G and H to be potential habitat for red-legged frogs and measures need to be identified to minimize impacts to all of this area. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources contained in this document regarding the range of tiger salamander upland habitat. · Comment 6.8: The Department does not concur with the fmding contained in the Initial Studies that kit fox species are presumed absent from the project site. The area lies within the western range of the kit fox and suitable denning and foraging habitat exists on the project site. Permits are required for taking of habitat area and adequate mitigation require compensatory preservation of habitat at a 3: 1 ratio. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 6.9: The Department considers the proposed mitigation for impacts to burrowing owl to be inadequate. Additional mitigation is needed, Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 6.10: The Department is opposed to the removal of eucalyptus trees (sic) along the southern edge the site. These trees provide suitable habitat for various species of tree-nesting raptors. Removal of the trees (sic) will result in a significant temporal loss of potential nesting habitats well as a permanent loss if mitigation is not incorporated. Any tree removal and replanting program should be described in a Mitigation Monitoring Plan. Response: Referto Master Response to Biological Resources. . Comment 6.11: The Department recommends that a thorough field survey be completed for San Joaquin spearscale and Congdon's tarplant and appropriate mitigation proposed. If possible, the Departmentrecomm~~ds that impacts be avoided City of Dublin Dublin Ranch P A's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 40 January 2000 where such species occur along with an appropriate buffer area. Translocation is not approved by the Department as an acceptable mitigation measure., since it is experimental and does not meet the standards of CEQA. The discussion found in the Initial Study is not considered adequate. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 6.12: The Department recommends a minimum buffer of 100 feet adjacent to wetlands. A Streambed Alteration Permit must also be obtained from the Department prior to any work in a creek or stream corridor. Response: The preliminary cross-section of the re-created on-site wetland submitted by the applicant indicates that approximately 30 feet of buffer area would be reserved on either side of the wetland/drainage channel. The Department of Fish and Game comment and recommendation is acknowledged. It is further noted that this feature is not intended to befull mitigation for loss of on-site wetlands; extensive off-site wetlands are also proposed to be preserved as part of the project mitigation program. The applicant acknowledges that the final design of this feature may change as development plans are finalized and necessary Streambed Alteration Permits obtained from the Department of Fish and Game. Comment Letter 7: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Comment 7.1: The Service is concerned with the segmentation of the proposed Dublin Ranch planning areas. The piecemeal approach reduces the likelihood of the listed species to persist on-site (within Dublin Ranch), much less within the entire Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Service requests that the City of Dublin reevaluate- these three planning documents and the remaining undeveloped portion of the Dublin Ranch under one planning document. Response: Although the environmental impacts of the three adjacent planning areas have been presented in three separate Initial Studies, potential impacts have been addressed as though one project exists. This was specifically done for potential biological resources, where a single report (the Harvey report) was prepared to evaluate potential impacts and recommend appropriate mitigation measures. In terms of including other portions of Dublin Ranch, no other development proposals had been received by the City of Dublin at the time the environmental documents for the three planning areas were commenced Therefore, an accurate evaluation of potential development impacts to the remainder of Dublin Ranch (a portion of which has been approved for development) could not be made. The three projects under consideration total approximately 300 acres of land and flexibility exists to accommodate mitigation on and off of the project site. · Comment 7.2: The Service does not concur with the findings of the Initial Studies with regard to red-legged frogs and salamanc;lers. Other species may exist within City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 41 January 2000 seasonal wetlands, including the conservancy fairy shrimp, the longhorn fairy shrimp, and the vernal pool tadpole shrimp, Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 7.3: The Service does not concur with the presumed absence of kit fox from the site, Sightings have been made of at least two kit fox sitings within ten miles of the site. The planning areas contain suitable habitat for this species and no barriers exist to prevent kit fox from reaching the site. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. . Comment 7.4: The Service does not concur with the presumed absence of the conservancy fairy shrimp, the longhorn fairy shrimp or the vernal pool tadpole shrimp from the site. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. . Comment 7.5: The Service continues to be concerned over lack of appropriate mitigation for federally listed species within the East Dublin Planning Area. Specifically, measures fail to avoid impacts to kit foxes, red-legge(frogs, salamanders and vernal pool invertebrates. The documents fail to describe impacts to upland portions of the planning areas or the indirect impacts associated with grading the upland portions of the seasonal wetland. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. . Comment 7.6: The proposed projects are likely to result in a take of kit foxes and red- legged frogs and possible the fairy shrimp, the longhorn fair shrimp, or the vernal pool tadpole shrimp. A formal Section 7 consultation may be needed. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources regarding potential impacts to the species listed in the comment. It is likely that Planning Areas F and H would require Section 7 consultations prior to issuance of necessary permits or other authorizations. . Comment 7.7: In conclusion, the proposed projects will further isolate and fragment populations of red-legged frogs within the Tassajara Creek watershed and areas to the east of Tassajara Creek. A minimum buffer of300 feet between all wetlands and upland dispersal corridors are necessary to ensure the project does not isolate the red- legged frog, The development of these corridors would also minimize impacts to other species, including the kit fox. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PAIs F, G & H Response to Comments Page 42 January 2000 Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources regarding the fragmentation of red-legged frog population. The Master Response also recommends the dedication of a minimum 63-acre off-site mitigation area that would very likely include a minimum 300-foot wide buffer. Comment Letter 8: California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region · Comment 8.1: Board staff are concerned that the Negative Declaration may not adequately address the project's potential impacts to wetlands, riparian waters and associated endangered species, including the red-legged frog and California tiger salamander. Response: Refer to Master Response to Biological Resources. · Comment 8.2: Board staff are further concerned that project would increase the levels of pollutants discharged from the site and could alter the site's runoffhydrograph, potentially impacting downstream bed and bank stability. Response: The three Initial Studies acknowledge the potential increase of stormwater runoff from the site as a result of proposed urban development. Discussion of such impacts are found in the Hydrology and.Water Quality sections of the three documents. Each of the three Initial Studies contain a mitigation measure that requires project developers to prepare an updated project specific storm water study to show the impacts of individual developments against the master drainage study. In terms of impacts of downstream bank and bed stability, This mitigation is consistent with Mitigation Measures 3.5/44 -48 contained in the Eastern Dublin EIR, which_ require the preparation of master storm drain master plans. Follow-on studies would also include reviewing potential impacts to downstream bank stability. Each project will be required to implement Best Management Practices for construction and post- construction activities to minimize polluted storm water runoff from leaving the site. · Comment 8.3: It appears that the project will impact the number and range of existing rare, threatened and/or endangered species that are known to be present or could be present on the site. Under CEQA, such impacts require a mandatory finding of significance and it does not appear that the proposed Negative Declaration complies with CEQA. An EIR or appropriate subsequent or addendum is required, Although an EIR was prepared in 1992, substantial new information has been developed since that time. Therefore, the Board believes a Negative Declaration is not appropriate and an EIR or similar document should be prepared. Response: The City of Dublin is satisfied that the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR, supplemented by additional biological analyses, contained in the Harvey report for the proposed Dublin Ranch Planning Area F, G and H developments, are adequate to meet the requirements of CEQA. The Harvey report analysis reviews potenti{JJ impacts to species- identifie4 in the Eastern Dublin Specific City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H RespOnse to Comments Page 43 January 2000 Plan/General Plan EIR as well as species identified since certificatipnofthat EIR. Mitigation measures adopted as part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR have been applied by reference to the three proposed Dublin Ranch projects. Additional. refined mitigation measures are set forth in the Harvey report as modified by the Response to Comments. Also refer to the response to Comment 6.1 on this topic. · Comment 8.4: The proposed development would disturb more than five acres of land during construction and must be covered under the State NPDES General Permit. Response: Each of the three Initial Studies clearly identifies that a Notice of Intent is required to be filed with the State Water Resources Control Board This reference is contained in the section entitled Other Public Agency Required Approvals. · Comment 8.5: Approximately 6.8 acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional wetlands and 1.02 other waters of the United States would be impacted with the proposed development. Because the project involves potential disturbance to all or some of this area, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification or other approval from the State would be needed and should be references in the CEQA document. Response: Each of the three Initial Studies clearly identifies that permits are necessary from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Con/rol Board. · Comment 8.6: Section 404 (b) (1) of the Clean Water Act identifies the sequence in which wetlands and other waters of the United States should be treated. This includes avoidance, minimizing impacts and mitigation. Mitigation should be in-kind and on- - site, with no net destruction of habitat value. Response: The project is proposing to mitigate for thefill of wetland areas at a 2: 1 ratio, mitigate for the fill of non-wetland waters at a 1: 1 ratio and to restore and enhance an off-site drainage area. There will be no net loss of wetland acreage or habitat value. . Comment 8.7: Although the proj ect design would fill certain areas of creeks and wetlands, it has not yet received required approvals from state and federal agencies. The design of the project may change during agency review and this uncertainty should be reflected inthe CEQA documentation. For example, the City could commit to complete any additionally required CEQA documentation necessary for the project to be in compliance following any design changes. Response: The City of Dublin has reviewed the proposed project as submitted by the applicant. The City believes that there is some degree of flexibility to allow minor changes to the project should changes be required as the three projects are reviewed by state and federal regulatory agencies. Ho~ev,er, should the project change City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 44 January 2000 significantly, the City will undertake additional CEQA reviews as necessary and appropriate based on the modified project description. . Comment 8.8: The proposed project must comply with NPDES permit CAS002831. Specific measures incorporated in the permit to minimize stormwater runoff pollution includes minimizing land disturbance, minimizing impervious surfaces, use of clustering and other measures. Response: Each of the Initial Studies require the project developer(s) to prepare and implement Storm water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) prior to issuance of grading permits, in accordance with the 1999 edition of the Design Guideline Manual for Storm water Quality Protection. These Plans would require the developer to institute construction and post-construction pollution prevention plans. SWP P Ps must be approved by the City of Dublin, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board and the State Water Resources Control Board Included within the Specific Plan document are stormwater quality guidelines which reference specific criterion for the above-referenced manual. · Comment 8.9: The project could substantially alter the existing runoff hydro graph and flow into streams, Such alterations could result in impacts to downstream bed and bank stability and associated impacts to loss of habitat and threats to existing structures adjacent to the streams. The present hydrographic analys~ is limited to ensuring that peak flows will not create a flooding hazard and should be expanded, Response: See Response to Comment 1. Comment Letter 9: California Department of Transportation · Comment 9.1: Traffic impacts discussed in the document are dependent on the accuracy of forecasting used. As the office, commercial, retail and residential development occurs, a more specific and detailed traffic analysis should be carried out for all projects within the Dublin Ranch area, all of which are close to 1-580. Response: For the traffic analysis contained in the Initial Studies for the three Planning Areas, the City has attempted to be as accurate as possible in terms of including the impacts of all known or reasonably foreseeable projects in the vicinity. As additional development is proposed in the Eastern Dublin area, including Dublin Ranch, additional specific traffic analyses will be completed Comment Letter 10: Bruce Webb, Dublin San Ramon Services District . Comment 10.1: The District has made significant progress in providing recycled water to the Eastern Dublin area and it is fully anticipated that recycled water will be available to the project at th.~ !~me. of development. City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 45 January 2000 Response: Comment acknowledged As stated in the three Initial Studies, connections to the District's recycled water system would be made at the time of development if available. Project developer(s) would be required to obtain permits from DSRSD and install reclaimed waterfacilities in accordance with DSRSD standards during project implementation. . Comment 10.2: Planning Area G, page 47 "b," the statement is made that sewer lines will be extended from the east. In fact, all sewer lines and potable water lines will be extended from the west. Response: The Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to reflect the above change. . Comment 10.3: Planning Area G, page 47 "e," the statement is made that the local wastewater treatment plant contains adequate capacity for the project, the District is currently expanding wastewater treatment capacity through implementation of "Stage IV" improvements, anticipated for completion on 2001. Also, LA VWMA wastewater discharge facilities are being expanded at this time. Response: The comment is acknowledged and the Initial Study is hereby corrected by reference to reflect the above change. -, City of Dublin Dublin Ranch P A's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 46 January 2000 Comment Letters City of Dublin Dublin Ranch PA's F, G & H Response to Comments Page 47 January 2000 ALAMEDA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND W.A.TER CONSERVATION DISTRICT 5997 PARKSIDE DRIVE i PlEASANTON.

It is our understanding that all Flood Control issues are being addressed by Zone 7, Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and the City of Dublin. However, drainage impacts from this proposed development on downstream facilities should be addressed. In particular the Arroyo de la Laguna has been experiencing numerous erosion problems in recent years. The effect that runoff from this new development will have o~ the Arroyo should be addressed 2.2 2. Require the applicant to designate proposed haul routes, and to repair damage to County roads used as a haul route, or damaged by construction activity.

INDERBITZEN DUBLIN PLANNING December 6, 1999 Mr. Eddie Peabody, Jr. Director or Community Development City or Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, Calirornia 94568 Letter 3 Re: Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Studies Areas F, G, and H Dear Mr. Peabody: Thank you ror the opportunity to review the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study documents ror Dublin Ranch Areas F, G, and H. We offer our comments on the attached sheets, however, issues or specific concern are discussed below. 3.1 We have many concerns regarding the biology sections. First, the recommendations included in the Ecological Impacts and Mitigation report prepared by H. T. Harvey, dated October 25, 1999, should be used and included in these Initial Studies. Within the studies there is certain verbiage that implies certain plant and animal species are present on site, - when evidence submitted is to the contrary. Additionally, there is a statement that "a minimum buffer or 300 reet along the stream in the northern drainage" will be preserved ror red-legged frogs. We disagree with this and believe that it should be replaced with "appropriate buffers along the drainage will be preserved" because the specific dimension will be dependent upon the outcome or our discussions with the Corps and other agencies. Finally, we are confused with the burrowing owl mitigation plan ror habitat. It should be made clear that ir owls are not round on the site, then a habitat set-aside is not required 3.2 Many concerns exist regarding wetlands and jurisdictional areas. Generally, conditions and recotnmendations included in the Ecological Impacts and Mitigation report prepared by H. T. Harvey, dated October 25, 1999, should be used and included in these Initial Studies. Specific issues include Area F teArt describing the proposed mitigation reature as the existing condition. Additionally, we are concerned about how the text implies, in error, certain types, locations and amounts or mitigation that will be provided by us. This needs to be remedied by referring to the jurisdictional mitigation sections orthe H. T. Harvey report. A:\\\'ll\'Do\\5RMh~u~~oulevard, Suite A, Pleasanton, California 94566 Phone 925 485-1060 Fax 925 485-1065 3.3 3.4 3.7 Mr. Eddie Peabody, Jr. December 6, 1999 Page Two Mitigation Measure 5 of the Initial Study requires that the project's "fair share contribution" for downstream improvements be documented. It should be noted that ACFC Zone 7 has a drainage program for This purpose and that the project will pay Zone 7 fees and the need to study or "document" this should removed from the Initial Study. There is a concern regarding the floodplain discussion. The mitigation measure calling for certification prior to approval of grading permits is unclear and we suspect that the intention is not consistent with flood plain processing. We believe the "certification" which the Initial Study is referring to is a certification that the property is filled that ' FEMA requires prior to taking the property out of the floodplain. The mitigation measure should reflect FEMA requirements and read "Applicant shall remove habitable portions of the project from the 100 year FEMA floodplain prior to occupancy permits being issued." The applicant has already obtained a conditional letter of map revision. 3.5 I I Much of the tex"t in these documents appear to be written generally so as to cover all three i\Teas. Because of this, additional clarification of certain issues is needed to prevent confusion and inaccuracies, such as the Initial Study text concerning cultural resources and tiger salamanders is pertinent only to Area F. 3.6 The Initial Studies include numerous traffic mitigations that are very specific and were taken directly from the traffic report. It should be pointed out that these mitigation measures assume a long list of developments and improvements having occurred in the area before this project comes on line. This long list of assumptions is highly speculative and mayor may not be accurate. Rather than require a specific list of improvements, the mitigation measures should require that the project be conditioned to maintain acceptable levels of service and that the improvements necessary may include the list attached. We suspect that some of the improvements listed may not be able to be done today since the intersection configurations assumed in the traffic reports do not even exist today. Also, it should be pointed out that the mitigation measures listed apply to all three areas, not just each individual area. In regards to park acreage requirements for both Areas F and G, the population figures to determine park need have been miscalculated. The numbers included in the Initial Study represent dwelling units rather than population. This error then affects the quantity of park acreage required to service the projected population. Additionally, for both Areas F and G, the park acreage requirement per capita has been miscalculated. The Initial Study uses the full 5 acres of required park land to project local park acreage, whereas 1.5 acres should be used. (The other 3.5 acres is the community parks requirement). A:\WIl\'DOW-l\l6034-1.DOC Mr. Eddie Peabody, Jr. December 6, 1999 Page Thee . 3.8 We have a couple of different concerns regarding the noise sections. First, for Area H and G, it is noted that the planning area would be subject to significant long-term noise exposure, defined as a CNEL of 60 dB fot exterior noise. However, this CNEL standard applies only to residential development, none of which is proposed to occur in Area H and in Area G, only a portion of the overall land plan. There are additional inaccurate statements concerning the extent and level of existing noise impacts to the proposed projects. 3 . 9 There are no residential uses proposed for Area H. Hence, all references to inclusionary zoning and residential uses should be eliminated from this document. 3.10 In all three Areas, the words "intermittent creeks", "creeks" and/or "streams" are used. There are no "creeks" or "streams," intermittent or not, on the property. These features are should be referred to as "defmed drainages" or "swales", depending upon their physiology. Tnank you for permitting us to review and comment upon these documents. Our list of comments for the three Areas is attached. We believe that our concerns should be addressed and corrected prior to the Planning Commission hearing. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. Very truly yours, C/77~~ MARTIN W.

Overall 4.1 1. Much of text is written generally to cover all three project areas, but makes information confusing and in many instances, not appropriate to a specific Area. Area H 1. Page 3, first paragraph, second line: The use of the word "vacant" is wrong. 'While 4.2 it is true the land is not developed, agricultural and cattle grazing uses continue on the site. 2. Page 3, Project Description, first paragraph: Does not mention that a Master 4.3 Tentative Map is also intended to be addressed by this Initial Study or that of Area F, only a "lot line adjustment to separate Planning Area from the balance of Dublin Ranch. " 4.4 3. Exhibit 3- Site Location: Figure number should be 2, not 3. 4.5 4. Page 4, Stagel Development Plan, first paragraph: It is not necessarily true that that a Stage 2 PD Rezone application will be filed at the same time as the Tentative Map and Site Development Review. A Stage 2 PD Rezone could be submitted prior to or with a Tentative Map and/or Site Development ReVIew application. 5. Page 4, Stage 1 Development Plan, fourth paragraph: Internal collector roads are 4 . 6 only one instance of providing a roadway system. Other potential systems may be provided via a collector loop, or some other system. The final system will be determined prior to the submittal of the individual tentative map and created only as specific users are found. This Initial Study comment implies that this is the final and only solution. The word "collector" should be eliminated from the teA'!. . 6. Page 5, second paragraph: No housing is proposed for Area H, therefore, there 4 . 7 should be no discussion of inclusionary zoning here. This paragraph should be deleted. 7. Page 5, Assessment Districts, second paragraph, second line: We believe "initial 4.8 study" should be "assessment district", 8. Page 5, Other Entitlements, first paragraph: Although a lot line adjustment is noted, 4.9 Master Tentative Map has not been included as an entitlement as part of this application/Initial Study. 9. Page 10, Other public age~~y ;equired approvals, last li~e: We-think "Permits" 4.10 should be "Authorization" or "401 Certification" instead. Pa~ 1 A:\WINDOW-l\lSREVE-I.DOC 10. Page 10, Project Description: Again, Master Tentative Map is not noted as being part 4.11 of this application/Initial Study. 11. Page 11, Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: It is noted that "The -;;4.12 environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a -"potentially significant impact" as indicated by the check/ist on the following pages." However, no "potentially significant impact" exists on this checklist. All environmental impacts are "less than significant with mitigation" or less. This statement is not accurate. Rather, it should state that impacts are potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated. Additionally, this page contains no signature or date. 4 .13 12. Page 15, V Cultural Resources: Refer to Item 27. 13. Page 19, XIII Public Services, a): We don't understand the basis for which this is 4 14 checked as "less than significant with mitigation". This should be "less than . significant impact" or "no impact". 14. Page 21 and 22, .l'171 .A1andatory Findings of Significance, a) and b): We question the "No impact". Tnis depends on how the item is interpreted. If the item is referring 4.15 to the region, the assessment is valid. If it is referring to just the project site, the assessment conclusion is not valid since the project proposes to wipe out everything, including jurisdictional wetlands. 4.16 15.

Page 28, Project Impacts and JvJitigation Measures, a): There are no California tiger 7 salamanders within Area G based on all on-site surveys undertaken to date. The 4.2 reference to them needs to be removed. Additionally, we are confused about the borrowing owL It should be made clear that if owls are not found on the site, then a habitat set-aside is not required. 27. Page 30, Cultural Resources, Environmental Setting, first paragraph: Based upon 4.28 the FEIR, no potentially significant archaeological resources have been identified within Area H. The Initial Study statement is not accurate here and is only true for Area F. The second paragraph should be deleted completely as this resurvey did not occur in Area H. Because of this error, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures and the Checklist should be reviewed and revised as necessary. 28. Page 30, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures, Mitigation Measure 2: We are . 4.29 concerned that the verbiage specifies a 23 acre mitigation site in Livermore. We do not believe it is appropriate at this time to refer to a specific size as mitigation amounts will be dependent upon the outcome of our discussions with the Corps and other agencies. The text should be revised to delete the words "23 acres." 29. Page 31, throughout- Why are Areas F and G b~ing discussed here?

Page 34, e), Mitigation Measure 5: This measure requires that the project's "fair 4.34 share contribution" for dovvnstream improvements be documented. It should be noted that ACFC Zone 7 has an existing drainage program for this purpose and that the project will pay Zone 7 fees. The need to further study or "document" this item should removed from the Initial Study. 34. Page 34, g) and Page 35, h,i): The mitigation measures and probably the discussion of the flood plain issues need to be rewritten:- We have already obtained a conditional 4.35 letter of map revision from FEMA in which they agree to take the property out of the flood plain once it is filled to specific elevations. Once the fill is done, FEMA will take the area out of the flood plain. The mitigation measure calling for certification prior to approval of grading permits is unclear and we suspect that the intention is not consistent with flood plain processing. We believe the "certification" the Initial Study is referring to is a certification that the property is filled which FEMA requires prior to taking the property out of the flood plain. The mitigation measure should reflect FEMA requirements and read "Applicant shall remove habitable portions of the project from the 100 year FEMA flood plain prior to occupancy permits being issued". For your reference, the applicant has already obtained a conditional letter of map revision, 35. Page 35, h,i).: The study concludes that there are no hazards due to dam or levee break because the upstream stock pond will be removed. However, there should 4.36 probably be a comment that in the event the pond is not removed, embankments will be reinforced to eliminate dam failure as a potential hazard. 36. Page 37, Xl Noise, Environmental Setting, second paragraph: There are a couple of issues here. One, the Eastern Dublin EIR notes that a "CNEL of 60 dB or less is 4 . 3 7 considered normally acceptable for residential de:velopment. The paragraph in the Initial Study should be rewri1:tentoseflecrthis as no residential uses are proposed in Area H. Secondly, the use of sound walls along 1-580 are excluded from occurring by Page 4 A:\WINDOW-l\lSREVE- LDOC the City's Eastern Dublin Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards. This sentence should also be revised. 37. Page 38, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures, a): The study lists fire sprinklers 4.38 as an element of the project. We suspect that there are portions of the project that. may not be required to have sprinklers and, if so, this comment should be removed. 38. Page 43: There is no table present on Page 43, Table 2 Comparison of Trip 4.39 Generation. We assume this was for the table on Page 47 and 47.5. Wby are Area F - and G comparisons included here? 39. Page 44, Mitigation Measure 7 and Page 46, Mitigation Measure 8: The study includes numerous traffic mitigations that are very specific and we assume are taken 4.40 from the Areas F, G, and H traffic report directly. It should be pointed out that mitigation measures taken from the traffic report assume a long list of developments and improvements having occurred in the area before this project comes on line. This long list of assumptions is highly speculative and mayor may not be accurate. Rather than require a specific list of improvements, the mitigation measure should require that the project be conditioned to maintain acceptable levels of service and that the list ef improvements ~ include the list . attached. We suspect that some of the improvements necessary may not be able to be done today since the intersection configurations assumed in the traffic reports do not even exist today. Also, it should be noted that the mitigation measures listed apply to all of Dublin Ranch Areas F, G, and H, not just each individual Area. This should be pointed out in the Initial Study. 4.41 40.

However, no "potentially significant impact" exists on this checklist. All environmental impacts are "less than significant with mitigation" or less. This statement is not accurate. Rather, it should state that impacts are potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated. 8. 4.50 Page 24, Project Impacts and Mitigation, c): Where there is a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the impact remains potentially significant and unavoidable.

Page 36, XI Noise, Environmental Setting, third paragraph: This statement is inaccurate and should be revised. First, it does not separate noise exposure/levels by land use type and secondly, it infers that the projected noise level within all of Area G is at 65 dB. This is not true, only a very small portion of Area G has an overlay dB of 65 with the rest of the Area being less than 6S dB. Additionally, this paragraph does not add the disclaimer included in Area H, being that foreground buildings, walls, etc. v..rill attenuate and reduce much of the exterior noise before it reaches Area G. This statement has more bearing on this Area than in Area H as it is a greater distance from the freeway. Finally, the text needs to be revised to clarify that Areas G and Fare no( impacted by noise generated by Tassajara Road. 23. Page 37, XII Population and Housing, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures, a), ninth line: The total population number of Area G should be 2,808, not the 1,404 4.65 number listed, which is the dwelling count. Two lines later a figure of 2,084 is listed for the approved Planning Area G plan. If this is the East Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) population, this number is an error. The EDSP permits 818 dwellings which works out to 1636 residents. If this 2,084 figure is not the EDSP population for Area G, additional explanation needs to be provided? The subsequent analysis will need to be revised. Area F population should be included in this discussion as land uses and densities have been re-allocated between the two areas and would help to present a clearer picture of the overall units and population anticipated between the EDSP and our proposal. 4.66 l 24. Page 40, paragraph b), third line: The number 1,404 should be revised to 2,808 (refer to item 19 above). The total park acreage of 7.02 acres noted on Line 5, which calculates the acreage required for local parks, is incorrect. First, it uses the 'Wrong population figure. Second, it.:us~?the standard of 5 acres per WOO residents. Per current City standards, local parks are' only 1.5 acres of the total, With community Page,? A:\WINDOW-l\ISREVE-l,DOC parks making up the remaining 3.5 acres per 1,000 population. Hence, the 7.02 acre figure should be revised to 4.2 acres for local parks. Additionally, this will affect the overall Area F and G park acreage total, which should be revised to 6.7 acres instead of the existing 15.3 acres. Because of this acreage difference, the fmdings of this paragraph need to be revised to state that the amended Area G plan provides an additional 5.0 acres of local park land than is required and when, combined with Area F, an excess of 10.1 local park acres are provided. 4.67 25. Page 46, throughout: Revise the four "Area F" to "Area G". Area F 4.68 1. Refer to comments on Areas H and G. 4.69 2. Page 3, second line: Refer to Area H concerning the word "creek". 3.

Page 31, (iii), last sentence: The reference to "a minimum buffer of 300 feet along the stream in the northern drainage" to be preserved ror red-legged frogs should be replaced with "appropriate buffers along the drainage will be preserved." This is because the specific dimension will be dependent upon the outcome of our discussions with the Corps and other agencies and it has not been set at this time. "Stream" should be replaced with "tributary drainage" to accurately describe this feature. 4.83 16. Page 32, Mitigation Measure 3 (i), sentence beginning at end of line four: This sentence describes the proposed mitigation configuration, yet says".., will be filled and later recreated..." (specific text in line six). This implies that our proposed mitigation is the existing condition to be filled and recreated. "Filled and later recreated near its former location" should be changed to "created" to clarify that these are the measurements for the constructed feature, and not the jurisdictional area. Additionally, in the third to last line of the paragraph, the word "in-kind" is used. We have not proposed mitigation to be "in-kind," but have proposed mitigation to be provided by seasonally ponded areas. Page.9 A:\WINDOW-l\ISREVE-l.DOC 4.84 17. Page 32, Mitigation Measure 3 (ii), second and third line: See above. Additionally, we are confused as to what this is saying we are offering for mitigation. Refer to the H. T.

However, the Berlogar report text referenced by this statement reads: "Some of the swales on the site show evidence of previous landsliding." This is doesn't indicate an extensive history of landslides across the site. The Initial Study text should be rewritten to more accurately reflect the existing conditions. 19. Page 35, Drainage, second line: "Stream" should be revised to "defined drainage." 4.86 20.

Noise, Environmental Setting, second paragraph: There are a few issue.s of concern here. One, the EIR Future Noise Contours Map shows the 60 dB line as 4.90 bordering Area F (i.e.: the line parallels Central Parkway). The sentence in the Initial Study is in error by stating that "minor portions of Area F would be subject to significant long-term noise exposm:e" when in fact it is not. Secondly, Tassajara Road is not a noise source affecting Area F per the EIR Future Noise Contours Map since the noise contours are not even close to Area F. Lastly, this paragraph does not add the disclaimer included in Area H, that foreground buildings, walls, etc. will attenuate and reduce much ofthe exterior noise before it reaches Area F. This statement has more bearing in this Area as it is a greater distance from noise generators. This entire paragraph should be rewritten to incorporate these items. 24. Page 41, XII Population and Housing, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures, a), lines 9 and 11: Because the most current dwelling unit totals were not used in Table 4.91 '1, these population figures are slightly off. Instead of 1,677 for an amended population, the figure should be 1,669. Instead of 1,091 for the existing GP/SP A, the number should be 1,092. 25. Page 43, XlV. Recreation, Proje.0.t}mpactsand MitigationMeasures, a), first paragraph, first sentence: This sentence does not take into account that for just Area 4.92 F, our amended plan proposes a lower population figure than the existing EDSP plan PageLO A:\WlNDOW-l\1SREVE-I.DOC does (i.e.: 1,669 people vs. 2,297 people). Only if both Area F and Area G are looked at together does the amended population figure exceed the existing GPIEDSP population figure. 26. Page 43, XIV. Recreation, Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures, b), second line: 4.93 Again, the population figure should be 1,669 and not 1,677. 4.94 26. Page 44, first paragraph: This paragraph is supposed to be discussing the Area F neighborhood park dedication requirements. However, the figure noted is for all (community and local) park acreage. Neighborhood park acreage requirements for Area Fare 2.5 acres, not the 8.3 noted. Because of this error and the problems already noted in Area G, the second to the last sentence needs to be rewritten to say that the overall Area F and G neighborhoodllocal park requirement is 6.7 acres while the Area plans provide a total of 16.8 acres. This creates an excess of 10.1 acres of neighborhood/local park provided by the amended plan than is required to be dedicated. 4.95 27. Page 51, e): Wastewater disposal is not discussed here.

Community Development Department City of Dublin P.O. Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94568 Subject: Comments on Mitigated Negative Declarations for Dublin Ranch Areas F, G & H P A-98-068, -069 and -070, Tassajara Creek Regional Trail Dear Mr, Haag: BOARD OF DIRECTORS Beverly Lane PreSIdent Ward 6 Carol Severin Vlce-Presldeni Ward 3 John Sutier Treasurer Ward 2 Ayn Wieskamo Secre:ary . Ward 5 ied Radke Ward i Doug Siden Ward 4 Jean Siri Waro 1 The East Bay Regional Park District (District) has reviewed the proposed Mitigated Negative ". .~. Declarations (MND) for the proposed Dublin Ranch Developments, Areas F, G and H in Dublin, ~~~~ltJ~~e~ger are submitting written comments on the subject proposal as part of our on-going interest in completing the Tassajara Creek Regional Trail, and in protecting Tassajara Creek and the important natural resources of the East Dublin area. . - The District has for the past 65 years promoted the conservation of open space and"protection of important natural resources in the East Bay. District staff have participated in a variety of public planning issues in the City of Dublin where we have promoted these interests, including the City's East Dublin General Plan and Specific Plan, and subsequent development proposals along Tassajara Creek, including the Casterson and Greenbriar Homes developments. In our comments on the Greenbriar Homes development proposal, we raised several concerns about the adequacy of the East Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to address project impacts to Tassajara Creek and the Federally-threatened California red-legged frog in light of significant new information that has been documented since the EDSP EIR was Certified in 1993, We also stated that the proposed MND for Greenbriar Homes would be inadequate for our CEQA compliance purposes (as a responsible agency) should the District assume management responsibility for portions of the Tassajara Creek Regional Trail which are constructed as a required element of the Greenbriar Homes development. To the extent that development projects in the East Dublin area either directly affect the Tassajara Creek Corridor in which the regional trail is located, or propose off-site mitigation within that corridor, it is a concern of the District that impacts on the corridor are environmentally acceptable to the State and federal resource agencies, and to the District. Imnacts to District Pronertv The subject MND contains a report prepared by H.T. Harvey & Associates entitled "Dublin Ranch Areas F, G and H Ecological Impacts and Mitigation". Page 33 of this report identifies Tassajara Creek as the proposed location to mitigate for Dublin Ranch project impacts to "CDFG jurisdictional areas and red-legged frog habitat" by preserving, enhancing and restoring a 5200 foot section of Tassajara Creek to the north of the pr0posed Greeribriar Homes Development. We are concerned because a large portion of this proposed mitigation site is already owned by the District and consequently would not be available for use as a mitigation site for the Dublin Ranch Development. 5.1 2950 Peralta Oaks Court P.O. Box 5381 Oakland, CA 94605-0381 www.ebparks.org ~ TEL: 510 635-0135 ~~~. :::.rl t::??rlAt::rl ~4 "_v' ::;1nr:;;:;q.A."I19 Figure 5 of the H. T. Harvey Report depicts the proposed locations for these mitigation measures along Tassjara Creek, yet it does not contain any property boundaries which would show precisely where these mitigation sites are located or who owns the underlying land. Using this existing figure, we have attempted to overlay existing District land ownership information in this map and have discovered that approximately one-half of the west bank of the Tassajara Creek mitigation site may already be owned by the District as public open space and as a regional trail. Furthermore, at least one entire and 1\vo partial proposed restoration sites may be contained within District lands. Since this project will result in significant impacts to wetlands and red-legged frog habitat and because the MND proposes use of Tassajara Creek as the mitigation site, it is imperative that the MND contain adequate information on property ownership and assurances that the proposed mitigation sites are actually available for use by the applicant to mitigate for project impacts. Absent such information, the MND cannot adequately demonstrate that potentially significant impacts can and will be mitigated to a less-than-significant level. I have enclosed two maps showing our property ownership in this area, Cumulative Impacts to Tassaiara Creek and Snecial-Status Species The District, City of Dublin, Greenbriar Homes, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and - 5.2 California Depart:rnent ofFish and Game (CDFG) are currently seeking to resolve conflicts between the proposed Greenbriar Homes Development, including a segment of the Tassajara Creek Regional Trail, and the species conservation and mitigation requirements for project impacts to red-legged frog and Tassajara Creek. It is likely that resolution of this complex issue will take several months and will require major revisions to Greenbriar Homes Development proposals and to subsequent development proposals that affect Tassajara Creek or special-status species in the East Dublin area. The proposed Dublin Ranch MND identifies potentially significant impacts to two special-status plants, California tiger salamander, red-legged frogs, burrowing owls, badgers and nesting raptors. Many of these potential impacts were not properly addressed in the EDSP Final ErR or the species were not known to be present in the project area at the time the Final EIR was certified. The City may wish to postpone consideration of new developments in the East Dublin area that impact special-status - species until such time as conflicts between development and species conservation have been resolved in some regional fashion. This would likely require revisions to the East Dublin Specific Plan and Final ErR, and as recommended by USFWS, the preparation of a multi-species habitat conservation plan that addresses the individual and cumulative effects to special-status species. This approach is being considered by the Cities ofLivermore;-Clayton, Pittsburg, Antioch and Brentwood through individual and regional habitat conservation planning efforts. Please call me at (510) 544-2622 should you have any questions about this comment letter or Steve Fiala at (510) 544-2602 for any specific questions about Tassajara Creek Regional Trail.

Planning Department Post Office Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 Letter 6 Dear Mr. Carrington: Dublin. Ranch Residential Development Planning Application Numbers, Area F PA 98-068, Area G PA 98-069, Area H PA 98-070 Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Dublin, Alameda County Department of Fish and Game personnel have reviewed the subject documents. This project, is part of a four-phase development known as Dublin Ran.ch. Phase One has already been permitted and is under construction. Negative Declarations have been submitted for the remaining 3D5 acres which have been divided into three Planning Areas, F, G, and H. Area F is 147 acres. It lies south of Phase One and immediately north of Areas G (87 acres), and H (71 acres). These comments address development of these three planning areas of the Dublin Ranch. The proposed project lies within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area. A program-level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for this planning area in 1992 and a Final EIR (FEIR) was adopted in.1993. The Initial Study Checklist was prepared to determine whether there are potential significant site-specific environmental impacts not examined in the FEIR and whether project-specific mitigation measures would reduce the level of impacts to a point where a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be adequate to meet California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. Based on substantial new information, including species listing and cumulative impacts, the Department does not believe that the FEIR for the Dublin Specific Area Plan fully discussed species occurrences or established appropriate mitigation for these species. The Dublin Ranch projects involve impacts to species not covered or not adequately addressed in the FEIR. The FEIR, therefore, should not be referenced as adequate under CEQA for disclosure or providing mitigation for these species. C,04N''~-0J/ C.d:;.}:O"v14'/} VJ;jJ;J;ji 5-0-v..L- 1~70 '0 v v Mr. Dennis Carrington December 8, 1999 Page Two The determination in the Ini~ia1.Study page 12 states 6.2~a1though the proposed project ~ou1d have significant effect on the environment there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measure...have been added to the project." It is the Department's opinion that mitigation measures proposed for this project will not reduce the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur as required by CEQA. Page 52 of the Initial Study for PA F states that the project ~il1 not ~reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare, endangered plant or animal." However, page 29 states that impacts to California red-legged frog (Rana aurora draytonii) and California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) will result from the project. In addition, the Department disagrees with this determination due to potential impacts to kit fox. Therefore, due to the fact that the construction of this project will reduce the number and restrict the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species, a mandatoryfirlding of significance must be made. California Red-legged Frog 6.3 It is the opinion of the Department that construction of this project will result in fragmentation of habitat and blocking of movement corridors of the California red-legged frog and that the mitigation as proposed is not adequate to reduce the impacts to a level that is less than-significant. According to the Initial Study PA F, red-legged frogs have been documented in the pond on Area F of the site, within 3/4 mile to the north, and within 1/2 mile to the east. The applicant states no frogs were detected to the south or west of the site and, therefore, the development of the site is not expected to provide a barrier to dispersal of California red- legged frogs. The applicant also states that areas of the site other than the stock pond are likely not of substantial importance to this species. 6.4 The Department does not agree with this finding and believes that impacts to red-legged frogs have been underestimated. \ Recent research has shown that red-legged frogs frequently utilize upland habitat adjacent!o water feat~res. Regular movement of red-legged frogs have~-been d.ocu.ri:terite~ between 200-300 feet from the edge of the creek, however, several frogs in one Mr. Dennis Carrington December 8, 1999 Page Three study were documented moving over one and one-half miles during dispersal. In addition, the February 1999 observation of a red- legged frog in Tassajara Creek.to the west of the project site confirms red-legged frogs occupying habitats to the west, north, and east of the project site. Therefore, the proposed development will impact dispersal, breeding, and foraging habitat of the red-legged frog. 6.5 Areas along Tassajara Creek are identified as the proposed location to mitigate for Dublin Ranch project impact to the Department's jurisdictional areas and red-legged frog habitat. The preservation, enhancement, and restoration of a 5200-foot section of Tassajara Creek to the north of the proposed Greenbriar Homes Development is discussed. The Department believes that some of this area is owned by the East Bay Regional Park District. The availability of this area as a mitigation site is questionable and therefore is not likely to provide adequate mitigation for impacts to red-legged frogs. The Department recommends that the United States Fish andcWildlife Service (USFWS) be consuited regarding the adequacy of the proposed mitigation. 6.6 Surveys and mitigation measures for red legged-frogs shou~d follow established USFWS and Department guidelines. The Department recommends that measures be implemented to avoid red- legged frog habitat within the project area. California Tiger Salamander "- In the October 25, 1999, report by H.T. Harvey, Ecological 6.7 Impacts and Mitigation, page 18, it states that the majority of California tiger salamander (CTS) (Ambystoma californiense) use occurred in Area F. Mitigation Measure 2(ii) states that mitigation for impacts to estivation habitat will be commensurate with impacts on Area F only. The Department does not agree with this finding. Because there is documentation that CTS move long distances between breeding habitats and estivation sites, effects of development should be considered from the perspective of fragmentation of habitat and blocking of movement corridors. Recent research conducted by Peter Trenham for completion of his doctorate requirements at u. C. Davis documentCTS'movements up to 670 meters from breeding ponds .-:"~-In addi tion, dat.a .'col1ected at the Byron airport showed between 5 percent to 10 percent of the Mr. Dennis Carrington December 8, 1999 Page Four population was moving up to 500 meters. Based on this data, the Department considers Areas F, G, and H to be potential habitat and recommends that measures be implemented to avoid and minimize impacts to CTS that result through loss and modification of estivating habitat in these areas. Unavoidable impacts may be mitigated both by 1) implementing a relocation program approved by the Department to minimize ~take" and; 2) developing and implementing a Mitigation Agreement acceptable to the Department to compensate for the loss of CTS habitat. Compensation for the loss of habitat must address the loss of the entire breeding and estivating habitat of the CTS population, since significant disruption of the aestivating habitat will likely result in the inability to sustain the entire population locally. The Mitigation Agreement must preserve existing occupied habitat of CTS at a site acceptable to the Department. Mitigation habitat should be provided at a minimum 1:1 compensation ratio for both estivation and breeding habitat. Implementation of a relocation program for CTS cannot be conducted until a Mitigation Agreement is signed by the Department. Due to the potential that this species will be listed by the USFWS prior to the construction of the proj.ect, we recommend that the USrWS be consulted regarding potential permit requirements. San Joaquin Kit Fox The Initial Study PA F states on pages 15 and 28 that the 6.8 San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) is presumed absent from the site. The Department does not concur with these findings. The area is in the western range of the kit fox and suitable denning and foraging habitat exists on the project site. The document states that only the first phase of surveys were conducted in 1997 followed by reconnaissance level surveys. In this area, because kit foxes occur in low numbers and the detection rate is low even in areas where they are known to be denning, negative findings based on the survey methods employed are not acceptable. Close consultation with the Deoartment and the USFWS will be needed to assure compliance with th~ State and Federal Endangered Species Acts. Loss of habitat 1.5 considered a taking under these Acts and will require permits ~-from both agenci-es ~ Currently, mitigation standards for permanent loss of habitat require Mr. Dennis Carrington December 8, 1999 Page Five compensatory preservation of habitat at a 3:1 ratio. Information on what lands would be acquired or otherwise preserved as mitigation should be provided.. Lands which are dedicated to a public agency should include a permanent fund to cover the costs of maintenance for the life of the project. The Department recommends focusing mitigation to create a small number of larger preserves in high value habitat with interconnecting corridors for the kit fox. Burrowing Owl 6.9 Mitigation Measure 2 (iv), page 31, describes proposed mitigation for impacts to burrowing' owl (Athene cunicularia). The Department considers the proposed mitigation to be inadequate. Surveys according to established Department protocol should be conducted on the entire project site and within a 500-foot zone around the project site during the nesting and non-nesting seasons. Buffers should be established around occupied burrows at all times of the year, not only'during the breeding season. Disturbance of burrows used by owl pairs or single birds during the nesting or non-nesting season should. be mitigated by the completion of a Mitigation Agreement with the Department and the acquisition and conservation of 6.5 acres of suitable owl hab~ta! per owl pair or single bird in a location acceptable to the Department. Eucalyptus Trees The Department is opposed to the removal of the eucalyptus 6.10 trees along the southern edge of the site. As stated on page 28 of the Initial Study PA F, these trees provide potentially suitable nesting sites for loggerhead shrike (Lanius lUdovicianus), white-tailed kite (Elanus caeruleus), and other tree-nesting raptors which are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and have been observed on the project site. Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are also known to breed locally. Due to the scarcity of nesting sites in the area, the proposed action is considered by the Department to be significant if not mitigated. Removal of these trees will result in a significant temporal loss of potential nesting habitat and permanent loss if mitigation is not incorporated. If it is not possible to avoid tree removal, the Department recommends planting of large trees in an area preserved in perpetuity as. open $p~.c:_e and otherwise suitable -for nesting. Any--f-ree removal and 'replanting program should be fully described in a Mitigation and Monitoring Plan Mr. Dennis Carrington December 8, 1999 Page Six that would discuss the species to be planted, location, maintenance, monitoring, succe~s criteria and security issues. The plan would. need to be acceptable to the Department. Based on location and the abundance of grassland habitat, it is likely the site provides nesting and foraging habitat for a number of species. The California horned lark (Eremophila alpestris actia), a State Species of Special Concern, likely breeds in the grassland on site. Suitable grassland/open space area should be preserved to mitigate impacts to these species. San Joaquin spearscale (Atriplex joaquiniana) and Congdon's 6.11 tarplant (Hemizonia parryi sp congdonii) were observed on the site. A thorough field 8urvey, conducted according to the Department's Rare Plant Survey Guidelines by a qualified botanist during the appropriate months, is needed to determine the extent of these species on the project si~e. CEQA Guidelines Section 15380(d) states that these species be addressed as other threatened and endangered species and adequate mitigation be provided for any impacts. The Department recommends that impacts be avoided in areas where these species occur on the project site. Conservation areas should also include an appropriate buffer. The Department does not approve of translocation as an acceptable mitigation measure. There is no evidence to support that translocation is a successful technique to perpetuate populations of these plant species and, therefore, the proposed mitigation is viewed as experimental and does not meet the mitigation standards of CEQA. If avoidance of impacts to these species is not possible, a Mitigation and Monitoring Plan should be developed that will provide for off-site conservation of populations of these species. The plan should be reviewed and approved by the Department. Surveys to be conducted at a later time, or mitigation measures to be identified at some future time, are not acceptable. It has been determined by court ruling that such studies and mitigation measures would be improperly exempted from the process of public and governmental scrutiny which is required under the CEQA. The Initial Study requests future studies and future identification of mitigation and; therefore, is considered inadequate. Mr. Dennis Carrington December 8, 1999 Page Seven Wetlands 6.12 The project will impact 1.6 acres of wetlands in the Department's jurisdiction including 2970 linear feet of impacts along two seasonal drainages. Mitigation proposed is 0.48 acre in the northern drainage and creation on-site of an 810-foot long drainage with a 33-foot buffer on each side. The Department recommends a minimum 100-foot buffer be established to protect wetlands. The buffer should be measured outward from the edge of any wetland. A recreated channel surrounded by development is not expected to fully compensate for the functions and values of the impacted channel. Enhancement of additional linear feet of channel, at least equivalent to that. being impacted, should be required. A Streambed Alteration Agreement must be obtained from the Department prior to any work in a lake or stream corridor. Since the issuance of such an Agreement is subject to CEQA review, disclosure and incorporation of mitigation measures requested by the Department is needed to meet the requirements of CEQA. The project will impact approximately 6.80 acres of wetlands and waters in U. S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction. It is - the policy of this Department that a project should cause no net loss of either wetland acreage or wetland habitat value. Department personnel are available to address these concerns in more detail.

J. 3 1999 DUBLIN PLANNING December 9, 1999 Ms. Anne Kinney City of Dublin Planning Department P.O. Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 Letter 7 Subject: Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declarations for Dublin Ranch Planning Areas F, G, and H. Dear Ms. Kinney: This is in response to the City of Dublin's Mitigated Negative Declarations and Initial Studies dated November 8, 1999, for each of the three Dub-lin Ranch Planning Areas (F, G, and H) in the City of Dublin, Alameda County. At issue are impacts to the San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) (kit fox), conservancy fail}' shrimp (Branchinecta consenJatio), longhorn fairy shrimp (B. longiantenna), vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi), the California red-legged frog (Rana aurora draytonii) (red-legged frog), and California tiger salamander (Ambystoma califomiense) (salamander). The kit fox and vernal pool invertebrates are federally listed as endangered and the red-legged frog is federally listed as threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The salamander is a candidate species. The Service has judged the salamander to be warranted but precluded from listing action at present by higher listing priorities. Planning Areas F, G, and H contain approximately 147, 87, and 71 acres, respectively, and are all part of the' larger Dublin Ranch planned development, which contains 1,310 acres. This letter provides the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) COmments on the proposed modifications pursuant to the Act. 7.1 The Service is concerned with the segmentation of the proposed Dublin Ranch planning area. The Service has previously met with the consultants for Dublin Ranch and discussed project impacts associated with the entire Dublin Ranch project area, including the three parcels which make up Planning Areas F, G, and H. This piecemeal approach proposed within these three planning documents reduces the likelihood of the listed species to persist onsite (i.e., Dublin Ranch), much less within the entire Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The Service requests that the City of Dublin reevaluate these three planning documents and the remaining undeveloped portions of the Dublin Ranch Project under one planning document. This coordinated evaluation will allow a more practicable and realistic approlich to conserving list~~ species within your jurisdiction. ' ',-- - " 2 Beyond the Service's concerns over the segmentation ofthe overall project, the Service does not concur with the findings of the Initial Studies. Red-legged frogs and salamanders have been 7.2 . . found within Planning Area F and to the west, east, and north of the project areas.. Theremammg portions of the project areas consist primarily .of nonnative annual grassland that were historically farmed but are currently fallow. The Service believes that the seasonal wetland found within Planning Area H contains suitable habitat for-the conservancy fairy shrimp, the longhorn fairy shrimp, the vernal pool tadpole shrimp, the red-legged frog, and the salamander; the surrounding grasslands in all three planning areas, as well as the rest of Dublin Ranch, contain suitable habitat 7 .3 for red-legged frogs and salamanders. Furthennore, the Service does not concur 'with the r presumed absence of kit foxes from the site, there have been at least two kit fox sightings within ten miles of the project site. The planning areas contain habitat suitable for kit foxes and there are no current impediments or barriers that would prevent kit foxes from reaching the planning areas. 7 .4 Furthennore complete protocol surveys have not been completed and the Service does not concur I with the presumed absence of the conservancy fairy shrimp, the longhorn fairy shrimp, or the vernal pool tadpole shrimp. 7 . 5 The Service continues to be concerned over the lack of appropriate measures to minimize impacts to federally listed species within the East Dublin Planning Area. The measures included within all three planning documents fail to adequately avoid significant impacts to kit foxes, red-legged frogs, salamanders, or the vernal pool invertebrates., Your planning document~ fail to include the upland portion of the planning areas as habitat for kit foxes, red-legged frogs, or salamanders, or the indirect impacts associated with grading the upland portions of the seasonal wetland found in area H. Red-legged frogs have been documented to forage beyond 200 feet of aquatic habitat in uplands with little to no available cover. In addition, red-legged frogs have been observed traveling distances of approximately 1-3 kilometers (0.6-1.8 miles) between breeding and nonbreeding habitat. These dispersing frogs were observed to make both straight line movements over upland habitat as 'well as moving along riparian corridors. Salamanders also require upland habitat. Adult sal manders spend the majority of their lives inhabiting burrows within upland areas. Given thes observations, it is important to preserve upland areas for adequate dispersal corridors and non reeding habitat for both red-legged frogs and salamanders, not to mention the use of grasslands y foraging kit foxes. 7.6 The proposed pro ects are likely to result in take of kit foxes and red-legged frogs and possibly the conservancy fi' shrimp, the longhorn fairy shrimp, or the vernal pool tadpole shrimp. The Service recornme ds that the project applicant discuss the entire project with the Service to ensure that prope measures are implemented to minimize impacts to federally listed species. If a Federal agency is volved with the permitting, funding, or carrying out of this project, then initiation of fonn consultation between that agency and the Service pursuant to section 7 of the Act, is required. uch consultation would result in a biological opinion addressing anticipated effects of the project to listed and proposed species and may authorize a limited level of incidental take. If a Federal agency is not involved with the project, and federally-listed species may be taken as part of the project, then an "incidental take" pennit pursuant to section lO(a)(1)(B) of the Act should be obtained. The Setvicemay issue such a permifupcnlc~mpletion by the permit .., .J applicant of a satisfactory conservation plan for the listed species that would be affected by the project. 7 . 7 In conclusion, the proposed projects will further isolate and fragment populations of red-legged -.. . frogs within the Tassajarra Creek Watershed .and areas to the east ofTassajarra Creek. The eastern portions of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties possess the largest populations of red- legged frogs in the East Bay area, and these areas are currently undergoing rapid growth. The Service believes this area is important for the long-term survival and recovery of the species. To prevent take of red-legged frogs, the Service believes a minimum buffer distance of 300 feet between all wetlands and adequate upland dispersal corridors are necessary to ensure the project does not isolate red-legged frogs. The development of these corridors, in conjunction with ,:p're~ef'.~ng suit~b!e salamander upland habitat, would also mini:nize impacts to kit foxes. Furthermore, the project should be designed to avoid nuisance summer flows entering into Tassajarra Creek or any other water course. These actions are necessary to allow kit foxes, red- legged frogs, the conservancy fairy shrimp, the 10nghOl:n fairy shrimp, the vernal pool tadpole shrimp, and salamanders to persist in the project vicinity. Your continued coordination with the Service will be essential to ensure that these listed species persist within the East Dublin Planning area. We look forward to working with you on this project.

L; /. l:1 1999 DUBLIN PLANNING Ms. Anne Kinney City of Dublin 100 Civic Parkway Dublin, CA Re: SCH Nos. Dublin Ranch Planning Areas "F", "G", and "H." 99112040,99112041, and 99112042. Dear Ms. Kinney: We have received the above-referenced Mitigated Negative Declarations and offer the following comments on areas with which the Regional Water Quality Contro(Board (RWQCB) is concerned. . The Negative Declarations address the portion of the phased Dublin Ranch project that would be located on Areas F, G, ancl H. Areas F, G, and H are located 'within the 3,302 "acre Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, and are comprised of 147 acres, 87 acres, and 71 acres, respectively. The proposed project on these areas would result in the construction of 2,188 residential units, public or semi-public uses on 7.1 acres, neighborhood and general commercial use on 38.2 acres, campus office and/or- campus office/commercial uses on 55.1 acres, and a variety of other uses, including schools, parks and open space. 8.1 Board staff are concerned that the Negative Declaration may not adequately address the project's potential impacts to wetlands, riparian waters, and associated endangered species, including the California red-legged frog (CRLF) and California tiger salamander (CTS). Further, staff are concerned that the project, as proposed, would increase the levels of pollutants discharged from the site and could alter the site's runoff hydrograph, potentially impacting downstream bed and bank stability. 8.2 8.3 It appears that the project will impact the number or range of existing rare, threatened, and/or endangered species that are known to be present or could be present on the project site. For example, page 29 of the Initial Study for Planning Area F states that "[c]learing and grading could result in the loss of individual tiger salamanders and their e~tivation habitat, and filling of the stock pond would result in the loss ofD. Tacres' of red-legged frog~aD.cL tiger salamander California Environmental Protection Agency ~~ Recvcled Paner -2 - breeding habitat and could potentially result in the loss of individuals." The Initial Study subsequently identifies impacts to other rare, threatened, and/or endangered species. Under CEQA, impacts or potential impacts to the number or range of a rare, threatened, or endangered species require a mandatory finding of significant impact. Because the subject CEQA documents identify such impacts, it appears that a negative declaration does not adequately comply with CEQA. Section 15065 of the CEQA Guidelines states that "[a] lead agency shall find that a project may have a significant effect on the environment...[when the] project has the potential to...reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare or threatened species...." Under this relatively strict section ofthe CEQA Guidelines, an EIR or appropriate subsequent EIR or addendum is required for proj ects with such impacts. It appears that the subject project, as presently proposed, has the potential to have such impacts. \Vhile an FEIR was prepared for the Dublin Area Specific Plan in 1992, we concur with the State Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) that substantial new information that has developed since the FEIR's certification in 1993. Therefore, staff believes that these negative declarations are inappropriate for the present project, and an EIR or other appropriate subsequent document should be prepared. However, we understand that the City may not make the same finding. Therefore, this letter also provides more detailed comment on other areas of the Negative Declarations with which the Board is interested. 8.4 The proposed development would disturb more than five acres of land during. construction. It must be covered under the State NPDES General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity (General Permit). This can be accomplished by filing a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of\Vater Quality. Copies of the General Permit and- NOI can be obtained from the State Board's web page, www.s\vrcb.ca.Qov. or by contacting the Board at (510) 622-2494. The project sponsor must propose and implement control measures that are consistent with the General Permit and with the recommendations and policies of the local agency and the RWQCB. 8.6 Approximately 6.8 acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) jurisdictional area (5.78 acres of wetlands and 1.02 acres of Waters of the U.S.) would be impacted with the development of Areas F, G, and H. These include approximately 3000 linear feet of seasonal creeks on the site. Because the project involves the disturbance of jurisdictional wetlands and Waters of the State, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification or other appropriate approval from the State will be necessary, and should be referenced in appropriate sections of the project's CEQA documentation (e.g., paragraph 2 of the Biological Resources Section in the Area F mitigated Negative Declaration, which presently refers only to the Corps and CDFG). Section 404 (b )(1) ofthe Cl~an Water-Actseque~ces the o~derin which proposals should be approached. First impacts to wetlands or Waters of the state must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Second, the remaining impacts must be minimized. Finally, the remaining 8.5 California Environmental Protection Agency I';) D...,......l...,.1 D............ - 3 - unavoidable adverse impacts to wetlands or Waters of the State must be mitigated. Mitigation will preferably be in-kind and on-site, with no net destruction of habitat value. If the applicant is unable to demonstrate that the project was unable to avoid adverse impacts to wetlands or Waters of the State, water quality certification will be denied. 40 I certification may also be denied based on si~ficant adverse impacts to wetlands or other Waters of the State. 8. 7 Although the project design, as proposed, would fill certain areas of creeks and wetlands on the project site, it has not yet received the required approvals from state and federal agencies. The design may change substantially during agency review of the project application for wetland fill, and this uncertainty should be reflected in the project's CEQA document. For example, to address this, the City could . commit to completing any additionally required CEQA documentation necessary for the project to come into compliance with CEQA following such design changes. 8.8 The City of Dublin is permitted under and complies with NPDES permit CAS0029831, the municipal storm water permit and associated Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), as a part of approving and conditioning new and redevelopment proj ects. As of February 19, 1998, the S\VMP includes the following requirements: 1. Agencies will require public and private development projects to include site planning and design techniques to prevent and minimize impacts to water quality. These m~ include the following: a. Minimize land disturbance; b. Minimize impervious surfaces (e.g., roadway width), especially directly connected impervious areas (DCIA); c. Use of clustering; d. Preservation of quality open space, and e. Maintain (and/or restore, if possible) riparian areas and wetlands as project amenities, establishing vegetation buffer zones to reduce runoff into watervvays. 2. Each Agency will require public and private development projects to include permanent stormwater quality controls, as appropriate, if sufficient site planning measures are not implemented or feasible. . Therefore, this project, which is located in the City of Dublin, must include both design measures and permanent treatment controls, as apPfopriate..As proposed in the Negative Declarations, the project applicant would not be required to address~this issue until it obtained a grading permit. Typically at that stage, the'project has already undergone substantial design and it is much more difficult to incorporate into it acceptable and effective storm water design California Environmental Protection Agency -4- measures and treatment controls. Post-construction storm water design measures and treatment controls are most easily and effectively incorporated into a project at its planning stages. Therefore, the project applicant should be" required to submit a detailed conceptual post- construction S\VPPP as soon in the process as appropriate, and a final post-construction S\VPPP prior to obtaining a grading permit for the project. The conceptual post-construction SWPPP should be as detailed and site-specific as possible, and city approval of such a SWPPP should be required prior to any other approval that would fix substantial portions of the project, and design measures for those areas, in place. 8.9 Additionally, by substantially increasing the amount of impervious surface present on the site and by introducing constructed storm drains, rather than the present overland flow, the project could substantially alter the existing runoff hydrograph for the site, and flows in the streams into which it would drain. Such alterations could result in impacts to downstream stream bed and bank stability, and associated impacts including loss of habitat and threats to existing structures adjacent to the streams. At present, the hydrologic analysis of downstream impacts is limited to ensuring that peak flows will not create a flooding hazard. The analysis should be expanded to address the issues discussed above. Regional Board staff are unable to offer more specific comment at this time. However, I have attached a copy of our General Comments, which discuss the Regional Board's area of responsibility, and which should help guide in the preparation of further CEQA documentation. - Regional Board staff also encourage the lead agency to obtain a copy of "Start at the Source," a design guidance manual for storm water quality protection, which provides innovative ways of designing structures, parking lots, drainage systems, and landscaping. This manual may be obtained at most cities' planning departrilents or by calling Forbes Press, which is distributing the manual for the Bay Area StormwaterManagement Agencies Association, at 1-800-773-7247.

The Regional Board is responsible for administering the regulations established by the Federal Clean Water Act. Additionally, the California Water Code establishes broad state authority for regulation of water quality. The San Francisco Bay Basin Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) explains the Regional Board's strategy for regulating water quality. The Basin Plan' also describes the range of responses available to the Regional Board with regard to actions and proposed actions that degrade or potentially degrade the beneficial uses of the Waters of the State of California. NPDES Water quality degradation is regulated by the Federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program, established by the Clean Water Act, which controls and reduces pollutants to . water bodies from point and nonpoint discharges. In California., the program is administered by the California Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Tne Regional Board issues NPDES pe~its for - discharges to water bodies' in the San Francisco Bay Area., including Municipal (area- or county-wide) Stormwater Discharge Permits. Projects disturbing more than five acres of land during construction must be covered und~r th~ State NPDES General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity (General Permit). This can be accomplished by filing a Notice of Intent. An NOI and the General Permit can be obtained from the Board at (510) 286-0968. The project sponsor must propose and implement control measures that are consistent with the General Permit and with. the recommendations and policies of the local agency and the RWQCB. Projects that include facilities with discharges of Storm Water Associated with Industrial Activity'must be Covered 'under the State NPDES General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Industrial Activity. This may be accomplished by filing a Notice of Intent. The project sponsor must propose .control measures that are consistent with this, and with recommendations and - policies of the local agency and the RWQCB. In a few cases, the project sponsor may apply for (or the RWQCB may require) issuance of an individual (industry- or facility-specific) permit. . The RWQCB's Urban Runoff Management Program requires Bay Area municipalities to develop and implement storm water management plans (SWMPs). The'SWMPs must include a program for implementing new development and construction site stOnD. water quality controls. The objective of this component is to ensure that appropriate measures to control pollutants from new development are: considered d~g the planning ph.ase, before construction begins; implemented during the construction phase; and maintained after construction, throughoD!. the life.ofthe projec~ California Ellvironmelbal Protection Aoelle}' I:> . Impacts and Miti!!ation Measures Wetlands Wetlands enhance water quality through such natural functions as flood and erosion control, stream bank stabilization, and filtration and purification of contaminants. Wetlands also provide critical habitats for hundreds of species of fish, birds, and other wildlife, offer open space, and provide many recreational opportunities. Water quality impacts occur in wetlands from construction of structures in waterways, dredging, filling, and altering drainage to wetlands. The Regional Board must certify that any permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (covering, dredging, or filling of Waters of the United States, including wetlands) complies with state water quality standards, or waive such certification. Section 40 I Water Quality Certification is necessary for all 404 Nationwide permits, reporting and non- reporting, as well as individual permits. All projects must be evaluated for the presence of jurisdictional wetlands and other Waters of the State. Destruction of or impact to these waters should be avoided. If the proposed project impacts wetlands or other Waters of the State and the project applicant is unable to demonstrate that the project was unable to avoid those adverse impacts, water quality certification will most likely be denied. 40 I Certification may also be denied based on significant adverse impacts to wetlands or other Waters of the State. In considering proposals to fill wetlands, the Regional Board has adopted the California Wetlands Conservation Policy (Executive Order W-59-93, signed August 23, 1993). Tne goals of the Policy include. ensuring "no overall net loss and achieving a long-term net gain in the quantity, quality, and permanence of wetlands acreage and values." Under this Policy, the Regional Board also considers the potential post-construction impacts to wetlands and Waters of the State and evaluates the measures proposed to mitigate those impacts (see Storm Water Quality Control, below). The Regional Board has adopted U.S. EPA's Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) "Guidelines for Specification of Disposal Sites for Dredge or Fill Material," dated December 24, 1980, in the Board's Basin Plan for determining the circumstances under which fill may be permitted. Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines prohibit all discharges offill material into regulated waters of the United States, unless a discharge, as proposed, constitutes the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative that will achieve the basic project purpose. For non-water dependent projects, the guidelines assume that there are less damaging alternatives, and the applicant must rebut that assumption. The Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines sequence the order ~ which proposals should be approached. First, impacts to wetlands or Waters of the State must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Second, the remaining impacts must be minimized. Finally, the remaining unavoidable adverse impacts to wetlands or Waters of the State must be mitigated. Mitigation will be preferably in-kind and on-site, with no net destruction of habitat value. A proportionately greater amount of mitigation is required for projects that are out-of-kind and/or off-site. Mitigation will preferably be completed prior to, or at least simultaneous to, the filling or other loss of existing wetlands. Successful mitigation projects.are-coIIlplex'"tasks and diff'ic::u.lt to achieve. This issue will be strongly considered during agency review of any proposed wetland fill. Wetland features or pondS ") .... created as mitigation for the loss of existing jurisdictional wetlands or Waters of the United States cannot be used as storm water treatment controls. In general, if a proposed project impacts wetlands or Waters of the State and the project applicant is unable to demonstrate that the project was unable to avoid adverse impacts to wetlands or Waters of the State, water quality certification will be denied. 401 Certification may also be denied based on significant adverse impacts to wetlands or other Waters of the State. Storm Water Quality Control Storm water is the major source of fresh water to creeks and waterways. Storm water quality is affected by a variety of land uses and the pollutants generated by these activities. Development and construction activities cause both site-specific - and cumulative water quality impacts. Water quality degradation may occur during construction due to discharges of sediment, chemicals, and wastes to nearby storm drains or creeks. Water quality degradation may occur after construction is complete, due to discharges of petroleum hydrocarbons, oil, grease, and metals from vehicles, pesticides and fertilizers from landscaping, and bacteria from pets and people. Runoff may be concentrated and storm water flow increased by newly developed impervious surfaces, which will mobilize and transport pollutantS deposited on these surfaces to storm drains and creeks. Changes in runoff quantity or velocity may cause erosion or siltation in streams. Cumulatively, these discharges will increase pollutant loads in creeks and wetlands within the local watershed, and ultimately in San Francisco Bay. . To assist municipalities in the Bay Area with complying with an area-wide NPDES Municipal Storm Water Permit or to develop a Baseline Urban Runoff Program (if they are not yet aco-permitt:ee with a Municipal Storm Water Permit), the Regional Board diStributed the Staff Recommendations for New and Redevelopment Contro/for Storm Water Programs (Recommendations) in April 1994. The Recommendations describe the Regional Board's expectations of municipalities in protecting Storm. water quality from impacts due to new and redevelopment projects, including establishing policies and requirements to apply to development areas and projects; initiating appropriate planning. review, approval, and inspection procedures; and using best management practices (BMPs) during construction and post-construction. Project impacts should be minimized by developing and implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). A SWPPP is required by the State Construction Storm Water General Permit"- (General Permit). The SWPPP should be consistent with the ternls of the General Permit, the Manual of Standards for Erosion & Sedimentation Control Measures by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), policies and recommendations of the local urban runoff program (city and/or county), and the Recommendations of the RWQCB. SWPPPs should also be required for projects that may have impacts, but which are not required to obtain an NPDES permit Preparation of a SWPPP should be a condition of development Implementation of the SWPPP should be enforced during the construction period via appropriate options such as citations, stop work orders, or withholding occupancy permits. Impacts identified should be avoided and minimized by developing and implementing the types of controls listed below. Explanations of the controls are available in the Regional Board's construction Field Manual, available from Friends of the San Francisco Estuary at (510) 286-0924, in BASMAA's Start at the Sf!UTce, and in the Califo~~a ~!o.rmJfater_Best M~ageineJji Practice Handbooks. 3, Site Planning The project should minimize impacts from project development by incorporating appropriate site planning concepts. This should be' accomplished by designing and proposing site planning options as early in the project planning phases as possible. Appropriate site planning concepts to include, but are not limited to the following: ' , . Phase construction to limit areas and periods of impact. . Minimize directly connected impervious areas. . Preserve natural topography, existing drainage courses and existing vegetation. . Locate construction and structures as far as possible from streams, wetlands, drainage areas, etc. . Provide undeveloped, vegetated buffer zones between development and streams, wetlands, drainage areas, etc. . Reduce paved area through cluster development, narrower streets, use of porous pavement and/or retaining natural surfaces. . Minimize the use of gutters and curbs which concentrate and direct runoff to impermeable surfaces. . Use existing vegetation and create new vegetated areas to promote infiltration. · Design and layout communities to reduce reliance on cars. . Include green areas for people to walk their pets, thereby reducing build-up of bacteria, worms, viruses, nutrients, etc. in impermeable areas, or institute ordinances requiring owners to c;ollect pets'. excrement. . Incorporate low-maintenance landscaping. . Design and layout streets and storm drain systems to facilitate easy maintenance and cleaning. . Consider the need for runoff collection and treatment systems. . Label storm drains to discourage dumping of pollutants into them Erosion The project should minimize erosion and control sediment during and after construction. This should be done by developing and implementing an erosion control plan, or equivalent plan. This plan should be included in the SWPPP. The plaii should specify all control measures that will be used or which are anticipated to be used, including, but not limited to, the following: . Limit access routes and stabilize access points. . Stabilize denuded areas as soon as possible with seeding, mulching, or other effective methods. . Protect adjacent properties with vegetative buffer strips, sediment barriers, or other effective methods. . Delineate clearing limits, easements, setbacks, sensitive areas, vegetation and drainage courses by marking them in the field. . Stabilize and prevent erosion from temporary conveyance channels and outlets. . Use sediment controls and filtration to remove sediment from water generated by dewatering or collected on-site during construction. For large sites, stormwater settling basins will often be necessary. 4 Chemical and Waste Management The project should minimize impacts from chemicals and wastes used or generated during construction. This should be done by developing and implementing a plan or set of control measures. The plan or control measures should be included in the SwpPP. The plan should specify all control measures that will be used or which are anticipated to be used, including, but not limited to, the following: · Designate specific areas of the site, away from -streams or storm drain inlets, for storage, preparation, and disposal of building materials, chemical products, and wastes. · Store stockpiled materials and wastes under a roof or plastic sheeting. · Store containers of paint, chemicals, solvents, and other hazardous materials stored in containers under cover during rainy periods. · Berm around storage areas to prevent contact with runoff. · Cover open Dumpsters securely with plastic sheeting, a tarp, or other cover during rainy periods. · Designate specific areas of the site, away from streams or .storm drain inlets, for auto and equipment parking and for routine vehicle and equipmentmaintenance. · Routinely maintain all vehicles and heavy equipment to avoid leaks. · Perform major maintenance, repair, and vehicle and equipment washing off-site, or in designated and controlled areas on-site. · Collect used motor oil, radiator coolant or other fluids with drip pans or drop cloths. · Store and label spent fluids carefully prior to recycling or proper disposal. · Sweep up spilled dry materials (cement, mortar, fertilizers, etc.) immediately....do not use water to wash them away. , · Clean up liquid spills on paved or impermeable surfaces using "dry" cleanup methods (e.g., absorbent materials, cat litter, rags) and dispose of cleanup materials properly. · Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and properly disposing of the soil. _ _ · Keep paint removal wastes, fresh concrete, cement mortars, cleared vegetation, and demolition wastes out of gutters, streams, and storm drains by using proper containment and disposal. Post-Construction The project should ~inimize impacts from pollutants that may be generated by the project follewing construction, when the project is complete and occupied or in operation. These pollutants may include: sediment, bacteria, metals, solvents, oil, grease, and pesticides, all of which are typically generated during the life of a residential, commercial, or industrial project after construction has ceased. This should be done by developing and implementing a plan and set of control measures. The plan or control measures should be included in the SWPPP. The plan should specify all control measures that will be used or which are anticipated to be used, including, but not limited to, the source controls and treatment controls listed in the Recommendations. Appropriate control measures are discussed in the Reco~endations, in: · Table 2: Summary of residential post-construction BMP selection · Table 3: Swpmary of industrial post-co~ction BMP selection · Table 4: Summary. of.~ercial.post-construction BMP selection s Additional sources of informatiori that should be consulted for BMP selection include the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbooks; the Bay Area Preamble to the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbooks and New Development Recommendations; the BASMAA New Development Subcommittee meetings, minutes, and distributed information; and Regional Board staff. Regional Board staff also have fact sheets and other information available for a variety of structural stormwater treatment controls, such as grassy swales, porous pavement and extended detention ponds. 6 STATE OF CAliFORNIA - BUSINESS TRANSPORTATioN AND HOUSING AGENCY RECEIVED GRAY DAVIS.

Although our comments do not appear to require significant revisions of the documents, and do not change any of the conclusions regarding - impacts nor mitigations, we feel the public record must be made complete by the submission of these comments. 10.1 L 10.2 2. ,- Page 4 states that "When and where available" recycled water will be provided for irrigation purposes. Please note that the District has made significant progress in providing recycled water to the Eastern Dublin plan area since the time of certification of the EIR. Potable water systems have been master planned for the project area contingent on supplying recycled water to approved landscape demands such as common areas, parks and medians. Use of recycled water significantly reduces the sizing requirements for potable water facilities, and the District does not consider recycled water service an optional utility dependent on further study. Recycled water will be an integral element of the water supply for the project area. It is fully anticipated that recycled water will be provided to the project area at the time of development.

Relocate various land uses and acreages within Areas F, G and H of Dublin Ranch on land generally located east of Tassajara Road and North ofI-580 within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area (APN: 985-0005-001, 985-0005-002) as shown on Exhibits A and B: General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Map and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Planning Subareas Map. Land use changes include relocating all of the Medium High Density Residential, High Density Residential, and Neighborhood Commercial uses within Area F to Area G. These three land uses would be replaced with Medium Density Residential uses within Area F. The Neighborhood Commercial uses which are currently shown along both sides of Central Parkway (previously the "Transit Spine") would be relocated to Area G and reoriented in a north-south direction between Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkway along Main Street. 2. Amend text in the Land Use element of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to delete references to the "Transit Spine" and replace it with either "Central Parkway" or "Main Street" as appropriate, in accordance with Resolution No. 77-97. This Resolution was approved by the City Council on June 17, 1997 to amend the circulation element of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. This Amendment reclassified the "Transit Spine" from a transit- oriented corridor to an east-west arterial and renamed it "Central Parkway" (Exhibit C: EDSP Text Amendments). 3. Amend text in the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, to allow Campus Office uses be developed on 10.5 acres ofland designated for General Commercial uses within the south- west quadrant of Area H, pursuant to a Stage 2 Planned Development (PD) Rezone (Exhibits C and D: EDSP and GP Text Amendments). 4. Update Appendix 4 "Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Summary By Land Owner", #19 Pao-Lin (also know as Areas F, G and H, now owned by Jennifer Lin et al) (Exhibit E). WHEREAS, a complete application for this project is on file with the Dublin Planning Department; and WHEREAS, the potential environmental effects of the proposed project have been previously addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR (SCH No. 91-103064); and WHERES, individual Initial Studies have been prepared for each of the three Dublin Ranch Areas (Area F - SCH No.99112040, Area G - SCH No.99112041 and Area H - SCH No.99112042) to evaluate site-specific impacts ofthe project (to a greater level of detail than in the Program EIR) pursuant to CEQA ATTACHMENT 2 guidelines Section 15168. Based on the three Initial Studies, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigated Monitoring Program has been prepared for each area with the finding that with the implementation of Mitigation Measures previously adopted for the Program EIR and with site specific Mitigation Measures contained in the Initial Studies, as further clarified by the Response to Comments, the potential site-specific impacts of the projects would be reduced to a level of insignificance. The Program EIR and Initial Studies adequately describe the impacts of the project, and there have been no substantial changes or new information that would be outside the scope of the Program EIR; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a properly noticed public hearing on said application on December 14, 1999, January 11, 2000 and January 25, 2000 and did adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for Area F (P A 98-068), Area G (P A 98-069) and Area H (P A 98-070);. and WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council on February 15,2000; and WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending that the City Council approve the proposed General Plan Amendment and Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and use their independent judgment and considered all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED-THAT the Dublin City Council does hereby find that: 1. The proposed Amendments are consistent with the goals, general provisions and purpose of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan as proposed to be amended herein; and 2. The relocation of land uses and acreages within Areas F, G and H of Dublin Ranch are appropriate for the subject property in terms ofland use compatibility and configuration and will provide a comprehensive plan for the development of Areas F, G and H; and . 3. The amended land uses and text would allow the development of Main Street, a pedestrian orientated retail and service center within walking distance of high and medium high density residences as reflected on the Development Plan included as a part of Exhibit B to the Staff Report. These changes are appropriate based on analysis in the staff report, will provide a development pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, and will help implement policies of the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin; and 4. The amended text would allow Campus Office uses be developed on 10.5 acres ofland designated for General Commercial uses within the south-west quadrant of Area H, pursuant to a Stage 2 Planned Development (PD) Rezone. The change to this land use is appropriate based upon analysis in the staff report, will result in more efficient use of land in line with market conditions, will provide a development pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, and will help implement policies of the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin; and 5. The revised Appendix 4 "Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Summary By Land Owner", # 19 Pao-Lin represents updated information regarding land uses and acreages within the Pao-Lin 2 property (also know as Areas F, G and H, now owned by Jennifer Lin et al) of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby approve a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as shown on Exhibits A, B, C, D, E and F to the Staff Report for the February 15,2000 City Council meeting for P A 98-068, P A 98-069 and P A 98-070.

A revision to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Planning Subareas Map (Figure 4.2) of the EDSP dated January 7, 1994 to rearrange the boundaries of the subareas. The revised portion of the map is attached as Exhibit B. 3. A Text Amendment to Chapter 3 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan relating to land use categories, the Transit Spine and east-west vehicular connections: 3.3.3 Land Use Categories, Commercial Second Paragraph, Right Column Note: There are several areas indicated on the land use map that could develop as either general commercial or campus office uses. This flexibility has been provided in these key areas to respond to changing market conditions that may occur in the future. The shift from either campus office or general commercial (the underlying land use designation) to general commercial or campus office would be permitted if the established traffic levels of service are not exceeded. Appropriate traffic studies may need to be conducted in order for the City to make the proper determination regarding traffic levels of service. .4 3.4.1 Streets and Highways Third Paragraph The major east-west roads are Dublin Boulevard, providing a connection to central Dublin and North Canyons Parkway in Livermore; tffiEl. Gleason Road, and Central Parkway which will accommodate predominantly local trips. 3.4.2 Public Transit Public transit opportunities will be maximized for eastern Dublin residents. Local transit service is to be provided to all land uses with connections to regional transit, such as BART. The Plan designates the east ',vest corridor.. midway betweon Dublin Boulevai"d~and Gleason Drive as a "transit spine". This corridor, ',yf1ich (1](tends across the '.vidth of the planning area., '.viE link tho To',vn Center to the Th.-r.ture East Dublin R^~RT station and dovlmown Dublin. The transit spine is It is also planned to construct "Main Street" in a north-south orientation through fffi: the Town Center (mid '.vay to run between Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkwav). tffiEl. fResidential and Commercial employment use~ ~ will beeH: concentrated along the oorridor "Main Street" to encourage transit use for local and regional travel. "Main Street" The corridor also lies within easy walking EXHIBIT C OF ATTACHMENT 2 distance of overhalfthe residences in eastern Dublin. Advisory design guidelines which encourage transit use are proposed for bus shelters and transit stops. 3.6 Community Design Sixth paragraph, left Column, page 19 The guidelines for the Circulation System (pedestrian and bike paths, and streets, and Transit ~) focus on creating community and subarea identity; encouraging pedestrian use; and protecting sensitive natural and visual resources. 4. A Text Amendment to Chapter 4 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan relating to the arrangement of land uses and the character of commercial areas: 4.5.1 Location Policy 4-11: Concentrate regionally-oriented commercial uses south of Dublin Boulevard and near freeway interchanges where convenient vehicular access will limit traffic impacts on the rest of eastern Dublin. Note: There are several areas indicated on the land use map that could develop as either general commercial or campus office uses. This flexibility has been provided in these key areas to respond to changing market conditions that may occur in the future. The shift froin either campus office or ~eneral commercial (the underlying land use designation) to general commercial or campus office would be permitted if the established traffic levels of service are not exceeded. Appropriate traffic studies may need to be conducted in order for the City to make the proper determination regarding traffic levels of service. Third paragraph, left column, page 28 Community -orientated commercial development is planned for three mixed-use commercial centers, each of which is centrally located to a residential area. These centers are: the Town Center (along Tassjara Road between Dublin Boulevard and Gleason Drive and along "Main Street" between Dublin Boulevard and iust north of Central Parkway); and the Village Centers (located at the north and south ends of Fallon Road. Policy 4-15: Concentrate pedestrian-oriented commercial uses along "Main Street" the transit 5j:3ffie and at key transit transfer points. 4.8.2 Commercial General Commercial After First Paragraph Note: There is one area indicated on the amended land use map. located on the south-west quadrant of Area H of Dublin Ranch that could develop as either ~eneral commercial or campus office uses. This flexibility has been provided in this area to respond to changin~ market conditions that may occur in the future. The shift from general commercial (the underlving land use designation) to campus office would be permitted if the established traffic levels of service are not exceeded. Appropriate traffic studies may need to be conducted in order for the City to make the proper determination regarding traffic levels of service. The development of either general commercial or campus office uses will be established at the Stage 2 Planned Development application process. 4.8.4 Parks and Open Space Second Paragraph, Right Column, third line Replace "Transit Spine" with "Central Parkway" 2 4.9.2 Town Center - Commercial Location: The Town Center-Commercial subarea consists of two linear i&-cH-shaped area~ located adjacent and perpendicular to Tassajara Road and "Main Street", The subarea extends north-south along Tassajara Road from Dublin Boulevard to just north of Gleason Drive and north-south along "Main Street" from Dublin Boulevard to iust north of Central Parkway. Midway bet\','eefl these 1\','0 roadT,\'ays the subarea extends apprO)~imately % mileeastT,yard along a street designated as the transit spine (see figure 4.1) Second Paragraph, right column, page 36. The Neighborhood Commercial area, which extends along both sides of the transit spine "Main Street", in intended as a more pedestrian-oriented service, retail, commercial and entertainment center serving the daily needs of the residential neighborhood surrounding it and the more intermittent shopping, entertainment, and service needs of the larger community. Fourth Paragraph, right column, page 36. The subarea has an area north of the intersection of "Main Street" and Central Parkwav and an area west of the mid-point of "Main Street" near the midpoint of the transit spine which is designated for Public/Semi-Public uses. The intent is that tffis these area~ be developed with some combination of community-serving uses that will provide a public focus at the heart of the Town-Center. Such uses might include a performing arts center, library, community center, post office or some other community facility. It is anticipated that the uses in this' urea the Town Center would adjoin a public plaza that could accommodate public ceremonies, events, and less formal gatherings within the Town Center. 5. A Text Amendment to Chapter 5 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan relating to the transportation and circulation systems within Eastern Dublin: Second Paragraph, left Column, page 53 It is also planned to construct Main Street (two lanes) in a north-south orientation through the future Eastern Dublin Town Center (midTNay running between Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkway). The Main Street minimum right-or-way shall be::P;} 64 feet which includes &- landscape area and .f.(f 12 foot private sidewalks on both sides with 4' public utility easements behind the curb face for street lights. fire hydrants. etc. .^>.dditional ri;ht of 'Nay will be needed for additional turn lanes. 6. A revision to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Town Center Concept Plan (Figure 7.1) of the EDSP dated January 7, 1994 to rearrange land uses (refer to Exhibit F). The revised portion of the map is attached. Chapter 7 of the EDSP discuss "Guidelines" for Town Center Community Design which are advisory only. The Specific Plan makes provision for the City to consider "equivalent or superior methods of design to achieve the objectives of the plan." As these items are Guidelines only and the project meets the spirit and intent of the Specific Plan, no text amendment is proposed. 7.
