At that meeting, the Planning Commission also recommended that the City Council include three additional parcels within the Specific Plan area to ensure that future development of the properties comply with the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan's Design Guidelines and for the purposes of ensuring consistency in the public streetscape; and WHEREAS, on August 1, 2006, the Dublin City Council approved the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan, related General Plan Amendments, Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2006 Update, Dublin Historic Park Master Plan, and Dublin Village Historic Area Rezoning (Resolution 149-06, incorporated herein by reference). The City Council also reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation to include the three additional parcels. As a part of the City Council's action, the three parcels were not added, but the City Council directed Staffto return to the City Council to discuss inclusion of the parcels at a later date; and WHEREAS, on October 3, 2006, the Dublin City Council adopted Resolution 192-06 approving a Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan Amendment Study recommended by the Dublin Planning Commission and directed by the Dublin City Council to include three parcels not originally considered for inclusion in the Specific Plan area. Amendments to the Specific Plan are to include the three parcels and a related amendment of the Zoning Map to apply the Historic Overlay Zoning District to the parcels together constitute the "Project"; and WHEREAS, the three additional parcels are as follows: . 11740, 11746, and 11750 Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-0113-004) -- owned by Kenneth and Patricia Burger and contains two office buildings . 11700 Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-0113-005-02) -- owned by Oleg and Linda Dubney and contains one office building . 11684 Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-0113-007-01) -- owned by the Briarhills of Dublin Cabana Club and contains one building and a swimming pool; and WHEREAS, Staff considered whether adding these three parcels to the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan would constitute a substantial change to the project as analyzed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 915162 and 15163 and concluded that it would not. 1 of 12 Staff determined that an Addendum would be prepared which notes the minor changes in the Project compared to the Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, the Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, dated June 2007, is attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A, and incorporates herein by reference and is available for review at City Hall. The Addendum determined that the Project is minor in nature; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) shall be prepared for this project, as no substantial changes have been proposed to the project which require revisions of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. No new significant environmental impacts have been identified and no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts have been discovered; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard and considered the Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and all said reports, recommendations, written and oral testimony submitted at a public hearing on June 12, 2007 as hereinabove set forth.

SECTION 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS SECTION 4.2 TOPOGRAPHY AND NATURAL FEATURES (Page 9) The project area is approximately 40 acres in size and is generally flat with a gradual slope to the south. Dublin Creek runs through the area from west to east on the Hexcel property and between the Heritage Center/Pioneer Cemetery and the Dublin Creek Kennel site. Alamilla Springs, a fresh water spring that was once the main watering hole for Dublin Village, sits to the northwest of the Dublin Boulevard/San Ramon Road intersection. A majority of the properties are developed and the Specific Plan area lies in an urbanized portion of Dublin. Exhibit 3 shows the boundary of the Specific Plan area. SECTION 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS SECTION 4.4 EXISTING LAND USE AND PROPERTY PARCELIZATION (Page 12 paragraph 3) A summary of parcels in the project area, including lot sizes and ownership (as taken from the most recent County Assessor records) is contained in the Appendix A of this document. Overall, there are 24 parcels in the project area with 18 different owners. The City of Dublin owns four parcels, the Dublin Historical Preservation Association owns two parcels, CalTrans owns two, and Hexcel Corporation owns two. All other property owners own one parcel apiece. SECTION 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS SECTION 4.5 LAND USE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CURRENT GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS AND ZONING (Page 12) Land use regulation for the project area is provided by the City of Dublin through the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 8 of the Municipal Code). The General Plan Land Use designations for the Dublin Village Historic Area are as follows: Retail/Office designation for a maJonty of the project area, which allows shopping centers, retail shops, eating establishments, business and professional offices, motels, and service stations. There are approximately 18.55 acres that are currently designated Retail/Office, of which, 1.65 acres are vacant parcels. Business Park/Industrial for two parcels, which permits non-retail businesses such as research and development, light manufacturing, and administrative 3 of 12 offices. There are approximately 8.95 acres that are currently designated Business Park/Industrial. Medium-High Density Residential for one parcel, which permits residential units at a density of 14-25 units per acre. There are approximately 8.28 acres that are currently designated Medium/High Density Residential. Single Family Residential for one parcel, which permits residential units at a density of 0.9 - 6.0 units per acre. There is one property measuring 0.36 acres (15,954 square feet) that is currently designated Single Family Residential.

SECTION 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS SECTION 4.5 LAND USE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CURRENT GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS AND ZONING (Page 15) The zoning districts for the Dublin Village Historic Area are as follows: C-l: Retail Commercial, which permits a range of retail commercial, office, restaurant, and similar uses C-O: Commercial Office, which permits administrative and professional offices M-l: Light Industrial, which permits a range of research, light manufacturing, and office uses R-S: Multi-Family Residential, which permits residential uses R-l: Single Family Residential, which permits Animal Keeping - Residential, Community Care Facility/Small, GarageNard Sale, Mobile Home, Single Family Residence, Small Family Day Care Home; similar and related uses; temporary uses; and conditional uses.

However, there is development potential in the area due to the fact that the sites are currently developed at less than the maximum intensity permitted in the General Plan (See Table 1). All of this capacity exists today. The land use changes in the Historic Area Specific Plan decrease the development potential by shifting approximately 7.55 acres of land from Retail/Office to Parks/Public Recreation.
