The Campus Office land use designation applied' to the Primary Planning Area would read as follows: Campus Office (.25 to .80 Floor Area Ratio). This designation is intended to provide an attractive, campus-like setting for office and other non-retail commercial uses that do not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or glare. Anticipated uses include, but are not limited to the following: professional and administrative offices; administrative headquarters; research and development; business and commercial services; limited light manufacturing; assembly and distribution activities. Ancillary uses which provide services to businesses and employees in the Campus Office area are permitted. These uses include restaurants, gas stations, convenience shopping, copying services, branch banks, and other such services. Under special circumstances (e.g., where a mixed-use development would decrease potential peak-hour traffic generation, meet a specific housing need, encourage pedestrian access to employment and shopping, or create an attractive, socially-interactive neighborhood environment), residential uses may be permitted as part ofa masterplanned mixed-use development. In such developments, the residential component would not be permitted to occupy more than 50% of the developed area. New Section 2.2.5. The text change to the Section 2.2, Commercial and Industrial Land Use, of the Dublin General Plan would read as follows: 2.2.5 Application to the same property within the City of Dublin of both the Retail/Office and Medium- High Density Residential designations as defined in the Dublin General Plan Guiding Policy The City Council may apply to the same property within the City of Dublin both the Retail/Office and Medium-High Density Residential designations as defined in the Dublin General Plan. Implementing Policies The location, extent, density and intensity of mixed use Retail/Office and Medium-High Density Residential development will be determined when studies indicate that: · Services are available for the use. · The site is suitable for a mixed-use development. · The use supports itself and does not draw upon and dilute the fiscal base of the remainder of the city. · Proper roadways and roadway capacity are available. · Mixed-use development would be compatible with adjacent land uses. 4
