A. Pursuant to Section 8.120.050 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows.
1. The proposed Stage 1 Development Plan for the Vargas Project will be harmonious
and compatible with existing and potential development in surrounding areas because:
1) the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan anticipated development of the
site and the site has been designated for residential development since 1993; 2)
development of the sites represents orderly growth of the General Plan Eastern
Extended Planning area and is a logical extension of the City; and 3) the Stage 1
Development Plan allows for a maximum of 33 detached units to be constructed on the
site with small backyards an provides a housing type not currently offered in the
vicinity.
2. The Vargas Project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the Planned
Development Zoning District proposed because: 1) the proposed medium density of
the project site is compatible with the proposed General Plan and Specific Plan
amendments; 2) the proposed project will include residential uses which are consistent
with the proposed General Plan and Specific Land Use Designations for the Site; and
3) the Stage 1 Development Plan will allow the constructed of 33 units which will
result in an overall density of 6.6 units per acre which falls within the permitted density
rang of 6.1 to 14.0 dwelling unit per acre in the Medium-Density Residential land use
category.
3. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons
residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare because: 1) the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan anticipated
development of the project site; and 2) there are several residential developments
approved, under construction or under review in the vicinity.
4. The proposed Stage 1 Development Plan and P D Rezone are consistent with the
Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because: 1) the Applicant
1
has requested approval of a General Plan Amendment to change the Medium/High-
Density Residential land use designation to Medium-Density Residential on the Vargas
property to decrease the density to allow the construction of up to 33 detached dwelling
units.
B. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The proposed Planned Development Zoning District meets the purpose and intent of
Chapter 8.32 Planned Development Zoning District of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance
because: 1) the proposed project is consistent with the intent of the General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan which envisioned residential development in this area; 2)
the proposed Stage 1 Development Plan allows for diversity in housing types in the
vicinity as discussed above and as required by Section 8.32.010.B of the Dublin
Zoning Ordinance; and 3) the proposed Stage 1 Development Plan focuses residential
development away from the Tassajara Creek and the Tassajara Creek bank to protect
sensitive areas and away from Tassajara Road as required by Sections 8.32.010.E and
8.32.010.G of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Development under the Planned District Development Plan will be harmonious and
compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area because: 1)
residential development is envisioned for the site and in surrounding areas within the
City; and 2) residential development has been approved west of the subject site on the
Wallis Ranch project site and is currently under review for the Mission Peak project
site located southeast of the project site.

8. Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. The City Council has adopted a policy stating its intent that
new projects, including this project, will be subject to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, as
amended, which requires that 12.5% of the units be inclusionary units affordable to persons of
very low, low, and moderate incomes. The standards also allow for a portion of the units to be
provided through payment in-lieu of construction. Vargas proposes to construct 2 affordable
units, or 60% of the required number of affordable units and pay an in-lieu fee for the remainder
of their obligation. No agreements currently are in place which would satisfy the affordable
housing requirements for either property. However, compliance would be required when each
property develops, and an arrangement would be agreed upon prior to approval of the Tentative
Tract Map and Site Development Review.
9. Development Concept. The Vargas project is proposed to be developed as a small residential
community with small detached dwelling units, each with a small backyard. The internal roadways
will follow the contours of the land. A small pedestrian trail will be located on the site adjacent to
the Tassajara Creek bank and will connect to Tassajara Road. A maximum of 33 units will be
permitted to be constructed on the site.
10. Access & Circulation. Vehicular and pedestrian access to the Vargas site will be from Tassajara
Road. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan plans for Tassajara Road eventually to be expanded to six
lanes. Tassajara Road frontage improvements and intersection improvements at the crossing of
these two streets would be complete with this project.

Project Description
Vargas Property
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Location
The Vargas property is located near the northern boundary of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area
The 5.0 gross acre site lies to the west of Tassajara Road and east of Tassajara Creek. The site
currently has a home with a few ancillary structures. The surrounding land owners and uses include
the Tipper property to the north, which is currently rural residential but is designated for Medium
Density and open space uses in the Specific Plan. The Moller property to the east is not within the
Specific Plan area and is currently used primarily as grazing land. The Moller property is currently
designated for open space and low density residential uses in the Dublin General Plan. The Fredrich
property to the south is designated for Medium High Density residential and Neighborhood
Commercial uses per the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and was recently annexed to the City of
Dublin along with the Fallon Crossing site.
Proposed Uses
The project site lies within the Tassajara Village sub-area of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The
site is currently designated for Medium Density Residential (6.1-14 du/ac) and Medium High
Density Residential (14-25 du/ac) uses.
Concurrent with this Stage I application, the applicant proposes a General Plan Amendment and
Specific Plan Amendment to change the Medium High Density Residential portion of the site to
Medium Density Residential, resulting in the entire site being designated Medium Density
Residential (6.1 - 14.0 du/acre). This change is necessary due to site constraints that were not
known at the time the Specific Plan was prepared. Although the Specific Plan designates the entire
5-acre site for residential development, only half (2.5 acres) of the site are actually developable due
to building setbacks necessary to preserve Tassajara Creek and additional right-of-way needed for
the widening of Tassajara Road. A 100' building setback from the Tassajara Creek top-of-bank is
proposed in order to protect the creek and associated habitat. The remaining 2.5 acres of
developable area cannot accommodate the Medium High densities envisioned for the site by the
Specific Plan. The applicant proposes using a small lot detached residential product that would
generate 6-10 units per gross acre on the site. The proposed amendment will benefit the City by
allowing for protection of Tassajara Creek and providing the opportunity for additional small lot
single family homes in the East Dublin area.

Tbis application seeks PD prezoning of the site to allow for residential uses consistent with tbe
Specific Plan. The proposed PD prezoning will allow for flexibility in site layout and design of the
dcvelopment. A schematic depiction of proposed land area and density is shown in the Stage I Site
Plan on page 16 of this document. A preliminary site plan showing a conceptual lot layout with 33
single family dctached homes is presented on page 17. This site plan also includes the adjacent
Fredrich property, which the appl icant proposes to develop concurrently with the Vargas property.
The sitc plan for the Fredrich property is not part of this application or review. Site Sections are
presentcd on page] 8. The tinalunit count, density, and site layout will be determined as part of the
Stage 2 Development Plan when a more detailed site plan will be prepared. Permitted, conditional
and accessory uses will be allowed per the requirements of the R-M Zoning District.
The Stage I Development Plan proposes a maximum of 33 units on the site. The table below
compares the amended land uses and densities proposed in the Stage I Development Plan to those
for Vargas property presented in Appendix 4 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, Land Use

Phasing
The property will be developed in one phase. Project development is proposed to begin in April
2008.
Topography and Site Development
The project site has slopes which range from nearly flat in the areas adjacent to Tassajara Creek to
about 50'% along the southern boundary. Site elevations range ii'om 465' along the western
boundary to approximately 506' near the existing home site. A topographic map is shown on page
15.
Circulation
Tassajara Road is currently a two-lane road extending from Dublin Ranch northward to Contra
Costa County. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan anticipates that Tassajara Road will eventually
be expanded to six lanes along the project frontage. Vehicular and pedestrian access to tbe project
site will bc provided by Tassajara Road. Two entrances to thiS site are proposed along Tassajara
Road. The southern cntrance will bc aligned with the proposed entrance to the Casamira site. The
southern entrance will have a traffic signal and be configured for full turning movements in all
-3-
(;:,\IJ;\il:--JOnS.'IM)(;'IJ..T,ST:\(iI~ 1 DEVELOPMENT PI...-\N '.l.l)()[,
directions with a break in the median. The northern entrance will have right-in and right-out
turning movements and a left turn into the site at the median break. Left turn movements out of
the site will be prohibited at this location.
Two street stubs will be provided for the future development of the Fredrich property located
immediately adjacent to and south of the Vargas property.
Water Supply
Theproject will be served by the Zone 2 DSRSD water pressure zone. Zone 2 can provide water
service up to an elevation of 580'. The development will be served by a northerly extension of the
existing Zone 2 water line in Tassajara Road that now terminates at Silvera Ranch.
Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer service for the proposed project will be provided by extending the 8" sanitary sewer
line in Tassajara Road, which currently ends at the nOliherly boundary of Silvera Ranch. All
sanitary sewer lines will gravity flow.
Storm Drainage
Project storm drainage will gravity flow in a southerly direction from the project site to an existing
culvert in Tassajara Road. Storm water will enter the culvert by a proposed manhole to be located
in the street above the culvelt.
Scenic Con'idOl'
Tassajara Road is currently identified as a Scenic Corridor by the City of Dublin. Tassajara Road
forms the eastern boundary of the project site. To guide development that may be visible from these
designated scenic corridors, the City of Dublin has adopted the "Eastern Dublin Scenic Corridor-
Policies & Standards." This document sets forth requirements and provisions for preserving views
of scenic ridgelincs and knolls from thc scenic corridor. The Stage 2 Site Plan will be designed to
conform to the scenic corridor Policies and Standards including preserving the backdrop views from
Tassajara Road.
The proposcd development preserves as much of the existing hill as is reasonably possiblc and at
the same time allows for reasonablc development of the site. Most of the proposed grading cut takes
place on the Fredrich property (which is essentially a hill) with the Vargas property receiving fill
from thc Fredrich property. The amount of cut and fill currently balance on the Vargas/Fredrich
site. Grading impacts on the site have been significantly reduced and preservation of the hill
enhanced as much as possible by utilizing a sedes of 3 and 4 foot retaining walls, contouring of
slopes, benning, and landscaping consistent with the surroundings.
Product Type/Architecture
Two single family detached product types are proposed for the project featuring 2 story and 3 story
homes. The 2 story homes will be placed on the 26'+ wide lots located north of the southern entry
road. The 3 story homes will be placed on the narrower 21'+ wide lots located south ofthe southern
entry road.

The 2 story product type for this project was specifically chosen because of its great success in
being used as a "Smart Growth and Green Sustainable Housing Development" product type in the
cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento. This product type is one of the few developments
(Metro Square in Sacramento) to be made the object of a systematic survey to determine its
effectiveness as a TND (Traditionally Designed Neighborhood). A Study commissioned by the
Natural Resources Defense Council and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency compared
Metro Square with two other conventional subdivisions in the area. The Study concluded that the
more compact Metro Square used only about one-quarter as much land and consumed 25% less
water.
The project will also feature a 3 story housing product similar to Riverwalk at Washington Square
in West Sacramento. This three story product was originally conceived with an urban loft exterior
appearance that will be modified for to conform to the Victorian and Craftsman architectural styling
of the project.
Although this application only considers the Vargas Property, the Vargas & Fredrich properties will
be developed as a close knit village of 70 homes, evocative of a historic European hill town, with
individual, two and three story homes snuggled closely together, fostering a sense of identity,
community and place. The roads follow the contours of the land, circling the highpoint in the
landscape, with the homes tucking into the side of the hill.
Tassajara Creek to the south and east provides a natural boundary for the site and is marked at its
bold turn from south to west with a few homes terracing down the slope. Most of the creek frontage
is edged with a single loaded road, allowing broad vistas to the south and east.
The proposed product type will be "affordable by design." The project proposes to introduce a
more affordable workforce housing or first time buyer affordable detached housing type to the City
of Dublin. Most detached housing units in the City are typically large square footage units that
typically cost over $1,000,000. The proposed homes will be more affordable by nature since they
will be smaller square footage homes ranging in size from 1,400 to 1,600 square feet placed on
small lots. All homes will provide families with 3 bedrooms and 2 Yz baths for each home and
. backyards with patios. Most plans will have either a front porch or a second floor balcony
encouraging "eyes on the street," thereby creating a safe, friendly community. These porches and
balconies along with occasional trellises will provide an elegant punctuation to the street facades.
All homes have 2 car tandem garages and 1 uncovered parking space in the driveway at least 18' in
length. Final parking counts will be determined with the Stage 2 Development Plan. The three
basic home plans will be diversified with slight alterations to the floor plans resulting in rich, varied
compositions on the front elevations. These subtle shifts in plan create combinations of
proportioned volumes and voids, contributing to a sophisticated, street experience. Variations of
gabled and hipped roofs provide additional shifting patterns and building character.
Examples of the projects architecture are shown on pages 19 through 23.

Project Landscaping
The conceptual landscape plan along Tassajara Road has been designed to incorporate the City's
Streetscape Master Plan including the use of Coast Live Oak as the street tree in the 6' wide
parkway. The streetscape will feature 24" box trees with 30% of trees 36" box or larger. In
addition, very dense landscape has been introduced along the street and slopes below the project to
screen the new development from Tassajara Road. Plant materials include native evergreen trees
and a combination of native and non-native screening shrubs and erosion controlling ground covers.
Street trees on-site have been chosen from the Master Street Tree list and incorporate a variety of
large and small canopy trees suitable for the different planter sizes anticipated. The larger sized
trees have been used wherever possible. Trees have been chosen for fall color and spring flowering
as well as a combination of evergreen and deciduous species. Plant materials for the front yards of
the clusters and single family homes shall be native plants including shrubs, groundcovers and
accent trees.
On the slope area above creek, native trees and shrubs are proposed. There will be additional
coordination with the creek restoration biologists as to final species choices, sizes, placement and
limits of the defined creek slope area.
A small passive park will be constructed adjacent to the western property line, near the northern
entry. A preliminary landscape plan is shown on page 24.
Open Space
Although the entire site will be designated Medium Density Residential, the portion of the site
within 100' of the top of bank of Tassajara Creek will remain open space to protect the creek
environment. These areas are to be permanently preserved as a visual and natural resource area
with no development allowed.
As required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the site plan includes a pedestrian trail along the
western edge of the site. The proposed trail begins at Tassaj ara Road near the northern entrance and
meanders in a southerly direction along the creek, ending at the Vargas/Fredrich property line. The
trail will continue to the south when the Fredrich property develops.
The open space areas will be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.
Compliance with the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations
This development is subject to the City of Dublin's Inclusionary Zoning regulations. These
regulations require that new residential development projects construct 12.5% of the total number of
dwelling units within the development as affordable units. However, the regulations allow for the
City Council to permit the developer to pay a fee in-lieu of constructing up to 40% of the required
affordable units. For the Vargas Property, the applicant proposes to construct 2 affordable units.
These 2 units account for 60% of the total number of affordable units required within the
development. The remaining percentage of the affordable housing requirement will be met by
payment of in-lieu fees.

Application Findin2s Statement for the Val'2as Property
a. The proposal will be harmonious and compatible with existin2 and future development
in the surroundin2 area. The 5.0 acre Vargas site is located within the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan area comprises 3,300 acres orland planned as a mixed-
use community that will be a vital, self-sustaining urban environment where people can live,
work, play and interact in a manner that fosters a strong sense of community. The project site
is bounded by Tassajara Road on the east. The Moller/Richey property on the eastern side of
Tassajara Road is not within the Specific Plan boundary, but has General Plan land use
designations of Low Density Residential and Rural ResidentiaV Agriculture. A development
application has been filed for inclusion of the property in the Specific Plan, a General Plan
amendment to Medium Density Residential, and for annexation of the property to the City of
Dublin. The Fredrich property to the south is designated in the Specific Plan for Medium
High Residential use but is currently in Rural Residential use. The proposed residential use
for the Vargas site is consistent with the planned development of the Specific Plan area and
will be compatible with the surrounding propetties as the area develops.
b. The site is phvsicaUv suitable for the type and intensity of the zonin2 district bein2
proposed. The proposed project development proposes Medium Density Residential uses.
The gently sloping topography ofthe site is suitable for residential development. Consistent
with hillside development policies, grading ofthe site will be minimized and the hillside on
the Fredrich property will be preserved to a great extent. The proposed Planned Development
District Zoning for the site will provide maximum design flexibility and in furtherance ofthe
provisions of the Dublin General Plan and the Specific Plan.
c. The proposal will not adverselv affect the health or safety of persons residin2 or
workin2 in the vicinity. or be detrimental to the public health. safety and welfare. The
proposal is consistent with the East Dublin Specific Plan policies and the City's zoning
ordinances enacted for the public health, safety and welfare. None of the residential lots in the
project will have direct driveway access to Tassajara Road. Two entrances to the site with an
internal loop connection are proposed to allow for adequate fire access. The site is located
well above the 100-year flood zone ofTassajara Creek, so flooding will not be an issue. The
soils report identified a small landslide area on the site that will be repaired as part of the
project grading. No earthquake fault lines cross the site.
d. The proposed uses for the site are consistent with the elements of the City of Dublin
General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The project site lies within the
Tassajara Village subarea of the Specific Plan. Medium Density Residential uses are
proposed. The Stage I Development Plan is consistent with all elements and policies set forth
in the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Consistent with Land Use and Open
Space elements of both plans, the project concentrates residential development away from
Tassajara Creek and provides for cluster development to reduce grading and preserve open
space continuity. Utilities and public services to serve the project are provided in accordance
with the requirements of the Sewer, Water and Storm drainage sections of the Specific Plan.
The project provides affordable housing as required by the General Plan Housing Element but
also proposes single family homes that are smaller than average, and therefore "affordable by

design."
e. This proiect satisfies the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 .Planned Development" of
the Municipal Code as follows:
1) The adjacent Vargas and Fredrich properties will be planned as a single unit to allow for
an overall cohesive design. Development standards will be tailored to fit the site and will
address such issues as building setbacks, architecture, landscaping, and grading. Detailed
standards will be set forth in the Stage 2 Development Plan (8.32.01O(A));
2) The proposed project provides maximum flexibility and diversification in the
development of the property by allowing clusters of medium density housing to reduce
necessary grading and preserve the Tassajara Creek corridor. In addition to providing
single family detached residential units, affordable housing units will be created to
provide housing for all segments ofthe community (8.32.01O(B)(D));
3) The applicant proposes medium density residential uses which are consistent with land
use designations in the East Dublin Specific Plan and the provisions and regulations for
development set forth therein. The Specific Plan allows for a density range of 6.1 to 14
residential units on the site, the project applicant proposes the construction of
approximately 33 units (8.32.01O(C));
4) The development guidelines and standards set forth in the Specific Plan and the Stage I
and Stage 2 Development Plans, will ensure that the development is integrated into the
project area and maintains a similar character.
5) In order to protect Tassajara Creek and associated habitat area, development will be
setback 100' from the top of bank. In conformance with the Specific Plan, the relatively
level and rolling slopes are designated for small lot single family residential uses
(8.32.01O(E));
6) The project developer will participate in the development of the necessary utility and
circulation infrastructure for this development in conformance with the Specific Plan
(8.32.01O(F));
7) Through the use of Planned Development District zoning, the project will be designed to
address the uniqueness of the Specific Plan area, taking into account the proximity of
Tassajara Creek. The clustering of residential units will allow for protection ofthe open
space area adjacent to Tassajara Creek and more effective utilization of property (8.32.01 0
(G)(H)).
8) By clustering medium density residential units away from the creek, the project will create
a more desirable use ofland, a more coherent and coordinated development, and a better
physical environment that would otherwise be possible under a single zoning district or
combination of zoning districts and thereby maintaining open space adjacent to Tassajara
Creek.

Located near downtown Sacramento
Metro Square was developed
through a partnership between
a merchant builder and the local
redevelopment agency. This infill
market-rate single family housing
project single-handedly transfonned
the Central City housing market.
The project featured 45 single
family homes on 2.2 acres
(21 dwelling units to the acre)
which ranged in size from 1,150
square feet to 1,550 square feet.
Each unit has a front porch, a
small private backyard, and a one
or two car garage tucked under
the unit. The two-story homes
offered two to three bedrooms, up
to two and one half baths. Some
plans featured dual master suites,
den/library or private decks.
The Redevelopment Agency
loaned the developer $1.2 million
to reduce the land costs and
mitigate the risk of building in
the central city rather than
in the suburbs.
Architectural design balanced
contemporary construction
needs with the existing character
of the neighborhood. A central
courtyard serves as a focal point for
community interaction. The
street appearance of the project
conformed to that of an early 20111
century residential neighborhood.
while the interior emphasized
community interaction and
contemporary development.
This project included primarily
one car garages discouraging
auto ownership, roof orientation
for photovoltaic retrofits, surface
drainage to reduce water
pollutants, and architectural
character sympathetic to the
existing neighborhood.
Making it more inviting to pedestrians
and bicyclists, Metro Square has
connected streets, bicycle network
markings. crosswalks and other
traffic controls at intersections.
traffic-calming measures, and
shade trees along its sidewalks.

This project consists of 25
for-sale, detached single-family
homes, 4 apartments, and 1955 s.f.
of ground-floor commercial retail
space.
The single-family homes will
be comprised of three floors,
with the main living space
on the second floor, bedrooms
on the third floor, and garage
and entry on the ground floor.
The plan includes 4 affordable
flats located above the retail
at the comer of 3rd & C Street.
with an entrance lobby off
the retail plaza. The commercial
and retail component is located
on the ground level at the
corner with a curving south
facing storefront, opening
onto a generous plaza. This
development will provide the
needed catalyst for increased
pedestrian traffic and a space
for people within the local
neighborhood to gather.
