PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Background The 50.3+/- acre Anderson property is generally located north of Interstate 580 and east of Croak Road near the eastern City limits in Fallon Village and included within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (please refer to Map 1 to the right). Access to the project site is provided via Croak Road and the Fallon Road interchange with I-580. Please refer to Table 1 for a description of the surrounding uses. !/((I\ ,/ l' rl /. f 1\ SllJJt:cr SHl ".Iv'.!

The elevation of the site ranges from 375- feet to 515- feet above sea levd. A former quarry is located on the northern 7-acre residential portion of the project site and an older single-family dwelling and several associated outbuildings exist on the southerly portion of the property Page 2 of 12 The Anderson property is currently vacant and includes a closed quany that will be filled on the northern 7 -acre residential portion of the site. The older single-family dwelling and associated outbuildings on the southern portion of the site would be demolished as part of the Projec:. However, there is no development proposed on the southern 43 acres of the overall site at this time. Prior Planning Approvals In December 2005, a General Plan Amendment, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment (Resolution No. 223-05), and Stage 1 Planned Development Rezone (Ordinance '\J"o. 32-05) were adopted by the City Council for all of Fallon Village which includes the Anderson propelty. The following General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations were adopted at that time for the Anderson property: Table 2: Existin General Plan/Eastern Dublin S Land Use Desi nation Medium D{msit General Commercial/Cam us Office o en S ace Total ecific Plan Land Use Designations Acrea e 7 ac 34.2 ac cU ac 50.3 ac Positano Affordable Housing Obligation Braddock & Logan's Positano development is located east of Fallon Road within the northern portion of Fallon Village (please refer to Map 2 to the right) and consists of 1,043 single-family detached residential units. Braddock & Logan prepared an Affordable Housing Proposal to address the affordable housing obligation for the Positano development. The Affordable Housing Proposal was presented to the City Council on October 18, 2005 and included construction of 88 affordable apartments on the 7-acre Anderson property to satisfy a portion of the affordable housing obligation for the Positano development. The City Council reviewed the proposal and directed Staff to work with th{: Applicant to integrate market-rate units as a part of the proposed 88 affordable units on the Anderson property. ~'1;.~'f..'J;";?- - .///1 / /// ~ %\ ~I \, ~I <I. ~ i -:;;\ i\ ~~ _--t" \ -/-//\ (~ !bJ ~il -~- c' /-"AHU".

Map 2: Positano Vicinity Map As a result, Braddock & Logan proposed a 108-unit project on the Anderson property to address the direction by the City Council to construct a mixed-income projeC'. The proposed project (108 units) exceeds the maximum density permitted for the existing Medium Density (6.1-14 du/ac) land use designation. Therefore, in July 2007, City Council initiated a Generd Plan Amendment (GPA) and EDSP Amendment (SPA) Study for changing the residential land use designation to Medium-High Density (14.1-25 du/ac) on the residential portion ofthe Anderson property (L\.ttachment 5 and 6). Current Request The Applicant is currently requesting approval of the following: 1. GP AlSP A to change the land use designation of the 7 -acre r'~sidential portion of the property to Medium-High Density (14.1-25 du/ac); 2. Planned Development (PD) Rezone with Stage 1 Developrrent Plan Amendment and Stage 2 Development Plan for the 7-acre residential portion of the proper:y; and Page 3 of 12 3. Site Development Review to grade the overall 50.3+/- acre Anderson property and to construct a 108- unit apartment project on the 7-acre residential portion of the property, consisting of 78 affordable units to satisfy a portion of the lnclusionary Zoning obligation for the Positano development, 10 affordable units to satisfy the lnclusionary Zoning obligation for the Anderson property, 19 market rate units and 1 manager's unit, and related site improvements. ANAL YSIS: General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment Braddock & Logan's Affordable Housing Proposal includes 88 affordable units on the Anderson property. As previously discussed, the City Council directed Staff to work with the Applicant to create a mixed- income project that integrates market rate units into this proposed affordable project. Braddock & Logan is currently proposing to construct a 108-unit apartment project in order to address the Council's direction to create a mixed-income project. However, the residential portion of the Anderson property has an existing Medium Density (6.1-14 du/ac) land use designation which permits a maximum of98 residential units (please refer below to Table 3). Braddock & Logan is currently requesting a GP AlSP A to change the land use designation for the residential site to Medium-High Density (14.1-25 du/ac) in order to accommodate the proposed 108-unit mixed income project. The residential portion of the Ander.son property is located to the east of the Fallon Village Center which serves as the social and economic hub for Fallon Village (the Fallon Village Center is outline in blue on Map 3 to the right). The overall Fallon Village project area includes a variety of residential land use designations with higher residential densities focused primarily around the Fallon Village Center in order to activate the Village Center and promote a pedestrian oriented development. At the hub of the Fallon Village Center is a Neighborhood Square that is surrounded by a land use designation of Mixed Use, which includes ground floor retail and residential units above, and Medium- High Density residential units. The proximity of the Anderson property to the Village Center and the proposed density of development will further promote the pedestrian orientation of the Village Center. The Anderson property will continue to provide a transition of land uses from the more intense Village Center to the less intense uses surrounding the Village Center. nations Density Range 6.1-14.0 units/acre 14.1-25.0 units/acre Min-Max Density 42-98 units 99-175 units Map 3: Fallon Village Center A draft Resolution is included in Attachment 2 recommending the City Council approve a General Plan/Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment to change the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation for the 7-acre residential portion of the Anderson property to Medium-High Density Residential. Page 4 of 12 Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 Development Plan Amendment As stated above in the Background section, the project area was the subject of the Fallon Village Stage 1 Development Plan. The Stage 1 Development Plan implements the General Plan and EDSP policies. Therefore, it is necessary to amend the Stage 1 Development Plan in order to ensure consistency with the proposed GPA/SPA. The proposed Stage 1 Development Plan Amendment would change the land use of the 7 -acre residential portion of the Anderson property from Medium Density (6.1-14.0 du/ac) to Medium-High Density (14.1-25 du/ac) with an associated change to the site plan and densities as shown in Map 4 to the right. The proposed Stage 1 Development Plan Amendment is included as Attachment 3, Exhibit A of this Staff Report. Map 4: Stage 1 Site Plan Stage 2 Development Plan The proposed Stage 2 Development Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and applies to the northerly 7-acre residential portion of the Anderson property. The proposed Stage 2 Development Plan (Attachment 3, Exhibit A) includes: 1) statement of compatibility with Stage 1 Development Plan; 2) statement of proposed uses; 3) Stage 2 site plan; 4) site area and proposed densities; 5) development regulations; 6) architectural standards; and 7) preliminary landscaping plan. As stated above, the project site area that is subject to the Stage 2 Development Plan is the northerly 7-acre residential site. The proposed density of the site is Medium-High Density which is consistent with the proposed GP A/SP A and Amended Stage 1 Development Plan. The proposed' site area and densities shown in Table 4 below are included as part of the proposed Stage 2 PO Ordinance. a e : ropose an se Proposed Stage 2 PD Land Use Plan Land Use Designation Gross Net Number Gross Net Acres Acres of Units Density Density Medium-High Density Residential 7.0 6.9 108 15.4 15.7 Total 7.0 6.9 108 du 15.4 15.7 T bl 4 P dL dU Residential site development standards generally include: minimum lot standards, setbacks, separation requirements between residential buildings, maximum lot coverage, and usable yard requirements. Residential Site Development Standards have been proposed for multi-family residential development on the Anderson property. The standards in Table 5 below and associated notes have been prepared and are included as part of the proposed Stage 2 PO Zoning Ordinance for this project which is included in Attachment 3, Exhibit A.

Encroachments shall be allowed to project up to three feet into building separations and must be at least 36" from property line (or comply with UBe standards, whichever is more restrictive). See item B below. B. Encroachments include, but are not limited to: roof overhangs, eaves, architectural projections, fireplaces, log storage, media niches, balconies, bay windows, exterior stairs, window ledges. second floor overhangs, decks, porches, trellises, and air conditioning equipment. Air conditioning units can nOI be in highly visible areas unless no other option exists. All utilities including air conditioning units are to be screened from view via walls, enclosures, roof placement, landscaping, etc. The proposed project meets the parking requirements established in the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance. The parking standard for a multi-family apartment is a minimum of one covered space plus one unreserved/guest space per unit. Each unit within the proposed project is provided one covered space and one unreserved/guest space as required by the parking standards. Tte development standards referenced herein would become part of the Stage 2 Development Plan. Slould this Applicant or any future Applicant propose modifications to these standards, a revised Stag(: 2 Planned Development would be required. A draft Resolution is included in Attachment 3 recommending the City Council approve an Amendment to the Stage 1 Development Plan and a Stage 2 Development Plan for the development of the 7-acre Anderson site for the development of 108 residential units. Site Development Review Site Plan The Site Development Review mah::rials begin with a Master Site Pan (Attachment 4, Exhibit A, Site Development Plan) showing the location of the residential buildings, parking and circulation, and recreation areas. The site layout has been designed with attention to natural drainage and hillside preservation. Materials for the landscape, hardscape, and structur~s emphasize natural materials and colors. The project design integrates pedestrian connectivity to the Fallon Village Center which is intended as a pedestrian oriented social and economic hub of Fallon Village. The residential buildings located on public streets would wrap the project frontage to create an articulated building fayade framing the northeast corner of Croak Road and future Monterosso A venue. Various techniques are employed to reduce the perceived mass and scak of the buildings through varying rooflines, articulated building elements, and building footprints. The Applicant believes that the project provides an interesting street scene through the variation in the two building elevations, the proposed color schemes, and the extensive frontage landscaping as further discl ssed below. Circulation elements within the project will include a loop drive aisle through the project. Covered and uncovered parking will be provided on both sides of this drive aisle, The Applicant proposes a total of Page 6 of 12 219 parking spaces as shown in Table 6 below. Please refer to the Parking Plan in Attachment 4, Exhibit A. Table 6: Covered Reserved Parkin Uncovered Unreserved Parkin Leasin Office Parkin Total Parkin~ Summary Required Spaces Provided 108 s aces 108 s aces 3~: aces 219 s aces Parking Project Access and Circulation Croak Road is a two lane road extending east from Fallon Road and then north to its current terminus on the Positano project site. The Fallon Village Stage 1 Development Plan anticipates that Croak Road would eventually be improved to provide a through connection to the future Positano Parkway. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan also anticipates that Dublin Boulevard would be extmded from Fallon Road east to the City Limits with Alameda County, and that Central Parkway would be eXlended from its current terminus at Fallon Road east and intersect Croak Road to the north of the project site. Access to the project site will be provided from a driveway on Croak Road and a driveway on the future Monterosso Avenue (Attachment 4. Exhibit A, Site Development Plan). The Applicant will be required to make interim improvements to Croak Road in order to accommodatt~ public access to the project site. These access improvements include a through connection to the future Positano Parkway for purposes of secondary access. The improvements to Croak Road will include ultimate frontage improvements along the project site. Monterosso A venue will be construded to the eastern project boundary with the Righetti property and is the main access road into the project. Grading Plan As part of this application, the Applicant proposes to grade the oV(:rall 50.3+/- acre Anderson property which includes the northern 7-acre residential project site (Attachment 4, Exhibit A, Grading Plan). The grading activities that are proposed to occur within the northern 7-acre residential development area will accommodate the proposed apartment project and related road; and utilities. The majority of the grading would be filling in an existing quarry. The fill would create .1 relatively flat pad that slopes down to the roads on the west and south edges of the development area. Sll)pes on the north and east edges will be graded to provide a smooth transition to existing contours on th(: adjacent properties. The disturbed areas would be hydroseeded and planted to control erosion and match pre-grading conditions. Grading activities proposed on the southern portion (area south of th(: 7 -acre project site) of the Anderson Property would accommodate planned land uses, roads and utilities pursuant to the EDSP. The overall grading concept is to excavate dirt from the center of the property and move it north and south where fill is required. Along the southern edge of the property fill is required to create a flat development pad that sits at an elevation slightly higher than Interstate 580 to allow proper gradients for utilities to gravity flow to existing City drainage facilities. The Conditions of Approval (Attachment 4, Condition 31) require the Applicant to complete a tree survey prior to grading. The Applicant h, further required to mitigate on a 3: 1 basis for the loss of any heritage trees on the site. Additionally, minimal grading would occur on the knoll located on the western edge of the property just south of the 7-acre project site to accommodate improvements to Croak Road consistent with the EDSP, and to create a smooth transition from the development pad into the Open Space Knoll. Proposed grading activities are proposed to extend on small portions of the adjacent Righetti property to the east in order to ensure that proper gradients are maintained between the two proper1 ies. All proposed grading would be Page 7 of 12 consistent with eXIstmg City of Dublin policies include the General Plan, EDSP, and adopted EIR Mitigation Measures. Landscaping The landscape design and plant palette was selected to provide year wund interest by incorporating layers of flowering and evergreen plant material throughout the site. Tree:; and shrubs are proposed along the perimeter of the project site to provide dense green plant material year round (Attachment 4, Exhibit A, Overall Landscape Plan). Accent trees are included at the project entrances for variety and color and to highlight these locations. Accent concrete has also been incorporat,~d into the project entries to further enhance these project entry points. The landscape treatment at the corner of Croak Road and Monterosso A venue combines trees and shrubs with stone monuments to provide a focal element at this intersection. A double row of trees is proposed on the east side of the project to prcvide shade and to screen the parking areas from adjacent properties. Clusters of oak trees are also proposed on the slopes in the northeast corner of the project site to promote the rural feel of the project area. A central common space area is adjacent to the proposed community building and swimming pool. This common area includes a play area with a play structure, picnic area with BBQ and picnic tables and shade structures, and enhanced concrete at the circular pathway connections. The Applicant has identified a location for public art that will be 10Gated to the north of the communty building (Attachment 4, Exhibit A, Community Center Landscape Plan) Community Building The proposed project includes a community building located in the cmter of the project site (Attachment 4, Community Center Landscape Plan). The community building will be located within a landscaped area and will also be located next to the community pool. The building will feature offices to support the project, a general community room and kitchen and a fitness center. Mail boxes will also be centrally located on the east wall of the community building. The design of tle community building is similar to the design of the apartment buildings with a consistent architectural theme, materials and colors and is further discussed below. Building Architecture Two different building designs are incorporated into the project, including a 9-unit building and a l2-unit building (Attachment 4, Exhibit A). Each building is three stories ligh with roof heights ranging from 36-feet to 42-feet. Each building shares a consistent architectural theme that unifies the buildings within the project. The design of the apartment buildings includes a variety of architectural elements and details to promote an attractive desib'1l. Specific details include balconies with raised panels, decorative iron railings, wood finish shutters, and eaves with wood finish corbels which are used to '~mphasize the roof structure and the roof overhang of the building. The roofing materials are flat concrete tiles with a slate appearance. The buildings will also include a stone base with cap and a stucco wall finish. The Applicant believes that the proposed mixed of materials and architectural elements provide for an interesting and attractive development. These details are best viewed on Sheets a.I and a.3 of <\ttachment 4, Exhibit A. The massing of the buildings has been broken up into five forms. On the end of each of the buildings, a tower element has been provided with a gable roof. This element prcjects approximately three feet away from the main wall of the building. Stairs have been incorporated in:o these elements on one side of the building. The open design of the stairwells will promote safety and yisibility. The middle portion of the buildings also has a raised roof element to give a grander scale to the building. Stucco finish columns have been included to further accent the middle portion of the buildin~:. Page 8 of 12 Utility closets have been provided at each end of the apartment buildlngs. These closets will screen from view the utilities including gas and electric meters and fire risers. The project has been conditioned (Attachment 4, Condition 20) to include a stone base and cap around these utility closets consistent with the base of the buildings. As previously discussed, the community building is designed to be consistent with the residential buildings and uses the same architectural treatments, including a stone base with cap, stucco wall finish, wood finish corbels to accent the roof overhang and concrete tile roof material. A tower element has been integrated into the building design to highlight the building entry. The color palette includes warm color tones to complement the building architecture and the colors used on the Positano development to the north. The Applicant has proposed three different color schemes within the color palette that will be used throughout the buildings in the project site. Please refer to :\tlachmcnt :5 for the proposed color samples. Carports have been integrated into the project to provide one covered parking space per unit. The gabled roof of the carports is finished with a concrete tile roof to match the residential buildings. The Applicant proposes to use wood posts to SUPPOlt the carport roof structure. Four trash enclosures are provided for this development. The ext(:rior wall of the trash enclosures is finished with stucco. A gable roof with concrete tile roofing ha:; been provided to mimic the roof structure on the residential buildings. Floor Plans Consistent with the Applicant's Affordable Housing Proposal, all ulits within the proposed project are two bedroom/two bathroom units (Attachment 4, Exhibit A, Sheet:; a.2 & a.4). Each unit will be 984 square feet in size on a single level and each unit has a kitchen, gr(:at room, storage, washer and dryer, dishwasher, and private balcony. Access to each of the units is pnvided via an exterior corridor (the corridor can be viewed on Sheets a.l-a.4 of Attachment 4, Exhibit B. Parking for each unit is detached from the unit and includes one covered space and one unreserved/gue~,t parking space. The distribution of buildings and units within the project is provided i 1 Table 7 below: Table 7: Number of Buildin2s & Dwelli112 Units Building Type # of Buildings # of Units 9 Unit Building 4 36 (All units are 2 BR / 2 Bath) 12 Unit Building 6 72 (All units are 2 BR / 2 Bath) Community Building 1 -- TOTAL 11 108 Total Units Views Nearby scenic routes include Interstate 580 (I-580) to the south and Tassajara Road to the west. The residential portion of the project site is located on a relatively flat portion of the project site behind the southern knoll on the Anderson property. The Applicant has prov ded cross sections (Attachment 4, Exhibit A, Visually Sensitive Ridge Land Restricted Development Plan and Sections) which demonstrate that the residential site has limited visibility from I-S8() with direct views blocked by hills that are located between the proposed development and I-580. The site is not visible from Tassajara Road. Therefore, the project does not create any obstruction of protected views. Page 9 of 12 Development Agreement In accordance with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (Section 11.3,1), the Applicant shall enter into a Development Agreement with the City. Staff is currently working with the Applicant to prepare this Development Agreement for the Anderson property. The Develcpment Agreement will be brought forward to the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council once the draft agreement has been prepared. Affordable Housing Agreement As previously discussed, the Applicant's Affordable Housing Proposal includes 78 affordable units to satisfy a portion of the affordable ohligation for the Positano development, 10 affordable units to satisfy the affordable obligation for the Anderson property, 19 market rate llnits and 1 manager's unit. Staff is currently working with the Applicant to prepare an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) for the Anderson project based on the direction from the City Council. This Affordable Housing Agreement will be reviewed by the City Council once the draft agreement has been prepared. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The existing General Plan/Specific Plan land use designations for these properties were adopted by the City Council with the GP AlSP A for Fallon Village on December 6, 2005 (Resolution 223-05). A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared f(lr the Fallon Village GP A/SP A and certified by the City Council on December 6, 2005 (Resolution 222-(5). The SEIR studied development at the midpoint of the residential density ranges. Since the 108-unit project exceeds the anticipated number of units that were studied as a part of the SEIR, a CEQA Addendum has been prepared for the proposed GPA/SPA to change the land use designation to Medium-High Density. The CEQA Addendum studied the development of 108-units rather than the midpoint of the proposed density range. Therefore, development on the Anderson property would be limited to a maximum of 108-units unless further environmental review was completed. The City prepared an Initial Study to determine whether there could he significant environmental impacts occurring as a result of this project beyond or different from those already addressed in the Fallon Village Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (SCH#20050620 10) certified by the Dublin City Council on December 6,2005 (Resolution 222-05). The Initial Study concluded that the proposed project could no' have a significant effect on the environment, and no significant infOlmation has arisen for this project during the preparation of this Initial Study that would require further environmental review. Therefore, an Addendum to the SEIR was prepared documenting these facts. CONCLUSION: The City Council directed Staff to work with the Applicant to study tbe feasibility of incorporating market rate units into the proposed 88 unit affordable project on the And,~rson property. The Applicant has proposed a 108-unit mixed income project consisting of 88 affordable units, 19 market rate units, and 1 manager's unit, which exceeds the permitted density of the project site. The proposed project is consistent with the proposed GP AlSP A and amended Stage 1 Development Plan to change the land use designation to Medium-High Density in order to permit up to 108 units on the Anderson property. The Applicant is also requesting approval of a Stage 2 Development Plan for the northern 7-acre residential portion of the Anderson property and Site Development Review for the proposed apartment project. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the Site Development Review; however, any approval would be contingent upon City Council approval of the GPAlSPA and Planned Page 10 of 12 Development Rezone with amended Stage 1 Development Plan, and a Stage 2 Development Plan. The findings of approval for the SDR can be found in Attachment 4, Pages 2-4. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive Staff presentat.on; 2) Open the Public Hearing; 3) Receive public testimony; 4) Close the Public Hearing and de1il:erate; and 5) Adopt the following Resolutions: a) Resolution recommending the City Council adopt a ':::::EQA Addendum to the 1993 Final Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, the 2002 East Dublin Property Owners Supplemental Environmental Inpact Report, and the 2005 Fallon Village Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the Andersen Residential project; b) Resolution recommending the City Council approve a General Plan/Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment to change the General Plan and Easterll Dublin Specific Plan land use designation for the 7-acre residential portion of the Anderson property to Medium-High Density Residential with the draft City Council Resolution included as Exhibit A; c) Resolution recommending the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving a PD-Planned Development Rezone with an amended Stage 1 Development Plan and a Stage 2 Development Plan for the 7-acre residential portion of the Anderson property with the draft Ordinance included as Exhibit A; d) Resolution approving Site Development Review to construct a 108-unit multi- family residential project on the 7-acre residential portion of the Anderson property located at 3457 Croak Road with the project plans included as Exhibit A.
