make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development
Prezone/Development Plan for PA 00-025:
1. The proposed Planned Development Prezone/Stage 1 Development Plan meets the intent and
purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a comprehensive Development Plan
which will create a desirable use of land and an environment that will be sensitive to surrounding land
uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan; and
2. The Planned Development Prezone will be appropriate for the subject property in terms of
setting forth the purpose, applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, range of permitted and
conditionally permitted uses and Development Standards, which will be compatible with existing and
proposed residential and open space uses in the immediate vicinity and will enhance the development of
the Specific Plan Area; and
3. The Planned Development Prezone will provide for the future development of the property.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan specified the Project Area as subareas: D, E, G, and H to be developed
with residential, commercial, industrial, and open space uses as well as uses including public schools and
parks; the project is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and will contribute towards implementation of said Plan; and
4. The Planned Development Prezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and

Attachment 2
purpose of the PD Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information required by
Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H,
of the Zoning Ordinance; and
5. The Planned Development Prezone will provide efficient use of land and will preserve an area
of open space and undisturbed hillside along the north and primarily the northeast comer of the property;
and will be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area; and will create an
attractive, efficient and safe environment; and
6. The Planned Development Prezone will not have a substantial adverse effect on health or
safety or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public
improvement, as all applicable regulations will be met; and
7. The Plarmed Development Prezone will not overburden public services or facilities as all
agencies must commit to the availability of Public Services prior to the issuance of any building permits
as required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and Mitigation Measures contained within the
Eastem Dublin EIR and the Eastern Dublin Properties Supplemental EIR; and
8. The Planned Development Prezone will be consistent with the policies of the Dublin General
Plan; and
9. The Planned Development Pmzone will benefit the public necessity, convenience and general
welfare; and
10.
The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program and the additional
site specific mitigation measures identified in the Eastern Dublin Properties Supplemental EIR
will apply to the Project, as the reporting and monitoring program required by Public
Resources Code 21081.6 for the Project.
