NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development
Rezone:
1. The proposed Stage 1 Planned Development and Development Plan meets the intent and
purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a Stage 1 Development Plan for the
project for the SnmmerHill/Silveria project (PA 99-032) that will create a desirable use of land and an
environment that will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in
surrounding areas and because the site plan has been designed to be compatible with other proposed and
approved plans in the vicinity.
2. The project site is physically suitable for type and intensity of this residential project in
that it is flat, has adequate access and is of a sufficient size to provide housing as well as open space for
the future residents of the project.
3. The proposed Planned Development Rezone, the Stage 1 Development Plan for the project
will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare because the Stage 1 Development Plan for the project
has been designed in accordance with the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and
Program EIR and Addenda. Additionally, project specific analysis has determined that the project's
design is sensitive to biological features onsite and to surrounding land uses.
4. The proposed Planned Development Rezone and Stage 1 Development Plan for the project
is consistent with all elements and policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan because the project is within, and is generally consistent with, the total number of units unit allowed
with the density range of the Rural Residential, Single Family, Medium Density Residential and Medium-
High Density Residential designations of both the City of Dublin General Plan Land Use Element and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (as amended), and because it conforms to the elements and policies of those
plans through the provision of open space and wildlife habitat protection required by the Land Use, Parks
and Open Space and Conservation Elements, roadways consistent with the Circulation Element, adequate
public facilities as required by the Schools, Public Lands and Utilities Element, Housing as desired by the
Housing Element, and safe design as required by the Seismic Safety and Safety Element.
5. The Stage 1 Planned Development Rezone and Development Plan is consistent with
Chapter 8.32 because the Stage 1 Development Plan for the project establishes permitted uses which will
ensure that the project is compatible with existing and proposed residential and public uses in the
immediate vicinity; and
6. The Stage 1 Planned Development Rezone and Development Plan will provide efficient
use of the land pursuant to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan that includes the preservation of significant
open areas and natural and topographic landscape features with minimum alteration of natural land forms;
and
7. The Stage 1 Planned Development Rezone and Development Plan wilt not overburden
public services as all agencies must commit to the availability of public services prior to the issuance of
building permits as required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and mitigation measures; and
8. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program serve as the
reporting and monitoring program required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 for the Project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving a Stage 1 Planned Development Rezone
and Development Plan for the project (PA 99-032, SummerHill/Silveria) as set forth in Attachment 2 and
