DESCRIPTION:
At the May 2, 1994, Planning Commission meeting, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 94-013 to clarify the PO (Planned
Development) District provisions stating that the prezoning or .
rezoning of property to the PO District may take place independent of
the approval of a Land Use and Development Plan and that PD Districts
can be applied to any residential or non-residential districts.
Implementing the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and
Specific Plan requires numerous time consuming stages of project
approval and analysis before development can begin in the area (i.e.
annexation, tentative map, development agreements, habitat
preservation studies, scenic viewshed studies, etc.). One of the
initial steps is annexation to the City of Dublin and the Dublin San
- Ramon Services District. Prezoning of the area must be accomplished
in conjunction with the annexations so that the City of Dublin zoning
::::-::~-~:-~----~-------------------~~;~;;-~~~----~~~~~;~~~:::::
I FIL:'rnmm I
e
-
will be in place for the property at the time it becomes part of the
city.
Action Program 4C of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan requires
that PO District zoning be placed on the entire planning area. As a
result, areas to be annexed to the City need to be prezoned to a PD
District in conformity with the Specific Plan.
While the prezoning to PD District without an accompanying
detailed development plan has been allowed in the past (the camp Parks
and Santa Rita properties), the Zoning Ordinance does not clarify
whether a PO District prezoning or rezoning can occur before the
preparation of a detailed development plan.
Staff determined that it would be impractical and unnecessary to
require the submittal of precise development plans at the time of
prezoning and annexation. Many studies and approvals would need to be
accomplished prior to preparing precise development plans for the
areas to be annexed at the time of prezoning. In addition, precise
development plans are not necessary for evaluating annexation
applications.
Staff recommends that Section 8-31.16 be revised to allow
separate processing for-PO District zone changes "and "Land Use-and
Development Plan approvals for pro.jectswhere development
implementation will occur in phases (see Exhibit A). A Land Use and
Development Plan. may be. processed ei'ther as a single phased. project
addressing the entire PO District area, or as a m~ltiple ph~sed
project addressing portions of the PD District area. One or more Land
Use and Development Plans shall be adopted as part of a PO District .
zoning, and may be processed concurrently with, or independent of, the
PO District zoning.
If a Land Use and Development Plan is processed concurrently with
a PD District zone change, only a single ordinance shall be required
for approval of the PD District zoning and Land Use and Development
Plan. If processed independently, the Land Use and Development
Planes) shall be processed as a separate PD District zoning ordinance
amending the initial PD District zoning. The initial PO District
zoning shall include provisions sufficiently detailed to be found
consistent with the policies of the Dublin General Plan.
Prior to the issuance of any development permit approval (i.e.
site Development Review, building permit, etc.), a Land Use and
Development Plan shall be required for that portion of the PD District
where development is proposed.
The Eastern Dublin planning area includes both residential and
non-residential land use designations. The existing PD District
regulations do not indicate whether they apply to both residential and
non-residential districts. since it is necessary to adopt a PD
District overlay zone for the Eastern Dublin planning area, Staff
recommends that a new section be added to Article No. 4 Commercial and
-2-
e
e
Industrial Districts of the Zoning Ordinance specifying that PD
Districts may also be applied to non-residential districts, and that
such applications would be under the same PD District provisions of
Article No~ 2 Agricultural and Residence Districts (see Exhibit A).
Staff recommends that the City council waive reading and
introduce PA 94-015 Dublin Zoning Ordinance Amendment to amend the PD
District provisions to clarify that a PD District zoning may be
adopted independent of the approval of a Land Use and Development
Plan, and that PD Districts shall be applicable to any residential or
non-residential district.
