Letter from the Applicant requesting amendment to original approval. 2. ATI Letter comparing previous approval and proposed revisions. 3. Revised Site Plan 4. Revised Floor Plan 5. Revised Roof Plan 6. Revised Elevations (4 sides) 7. Location Map RECOMMENDATION: 1. Hear Presentation from staff. 2. Hear comments by Applicant. 3. Question Staff and Applicant. 4. Deliberate and direct Staff. DESCRIPTION: The Applicant is proposing revisions to the Site Development Review approval of PA 99-060 and Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7135 which would involve only the proposed Dublin Ranch Golf Course Clubhouse and Cart Barn. The approved Clubhouse and Cart Barn serve a 193-acre, 18-hole golf course located within Dublin Ranch Area A. No changes are proposed to the site and location or placement of the structure. However, the building has been modified to more closely reflect the revised building program developed by the project applicant. This revised program involves modifications to the floor plan and elevations. The proposed revisions to the Site Development Review would remove the courtyard area between the clubhouse and the cart barn and join them as one structure. Also the floor area of both uses would be reduced. Areas of the clubhouse for occupancy/assembly activities associated with the serving of food (such as banquet space) have been scaled back or removed, and the remaining area has been redistributed For administrative or operational space. The applicant has indicated an area where the banquet portion of the facility could be expanded in the future if warranted. As with the original approval of the Site Development Review, the site of the proposed structure is in the COPIES TO: Applicant Property Owner PA File Project Manager I ITEM NO. ~ ` same location as the previously proposed facility which is at the southeast corner of Fallon Road and Signal Hill Drive. The primary point of access will be off of Signal Hill Drive just east of the intersection with Fallon Road. There are no proposed changes to the parking azea and the amount of parking stalls aze not being decreased to allow for the square footage reduction in the building foot print. The building will be situated approximately 100 feet in from Fallon Road. Currently the site is currently vacant with no structures, however the area has been graded to form the golf course and Fallon Road has been constructed. BACKGROUND: On July 25, 2000, the Planning Commission approved a series of actions for Dublin Ranch Area A. Those approvals included: • PA 99-060 establishing the Planned Community zoning and development standazds; • a series of Vesting Tentative Tract maps (including Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7135 which provides the site for the proposed structures); the others approved at that time were Tentative Vesting Tract Maps 7136 through 7140 ,and • the Site Development Reviews (SDR) for a number of structures related to the Dublin Ranch Area A Planned Community and recreation elements, including: the Golf Course and landscaping, the Golf Course Clubhouse/Cart Barn, parking areas, Golf Course Maintenance Facility, Community Center/Recreation Center, Restrooms/Rest Stops, Golf Cart Bridge, and Entry Gate. On February 26, 2002, some of the conditions of approval were reassigned from Master Tentative Vesting Tract Map 7135 to the other tentative tract maps approved concurrently in order to finalize the master map and commence construction of the golf course. The Site Development Review initially approved the Golf Course Clubhouse and Cart Barn as two structures joined by a courtyard for a total of approximately 19,000 sf. The uses were divided into: (a) a 11,115 sf clubhouse (with dining azea and banquet rooms), and (b) a 7,885 sf cart barn. ANALYSIS: SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW The Applicant has stated that the revisions to the structure are necessary to reflect the currently proposed facility program and operations which have changed since the original submittal. The revisions would allow reducing the combined area of these two structures by approximately 30% with the Clubhouse reduced to approximately 8,075 sf and the Cart Barn reduced to approximately 5,100 sf for a total building azea of 13,174 sf. The building and adjacent site azea to the east, have been designed to allow approximately 2,700 sf of banquet facility azea to be added at a later date. As the applicant has not proposed to revise the pazking layout or the number of parking stalls, there will be significantly more pazking stalls than necessary for the new proposed structure and any future expansion. These revisions do not include the future addition of the banquet space as the azchitectural elevations for the possible expansion are unknown at this time but are anticipated to be an extension of the existing azchitecture as the expansion space would be joined to the main building. The revised elevations and exterior of the structure would remain consistent with the over all azchitectural design theme approved with the original Site Development Review. As with the original approval, the structure has retained the rural scale and barn or ranch elements including: the sloping shingled roofs, shingled siding, stone veneer wainscoting, wood-trimmed windows and doors, and piers supporting columned arcades or terraces in azeas adjacent to the structure. Roof elements (although scaled back in some detail and number but in keeping with the scale of the revised structure) would continue to include 2 decorative features such as: Dutch gambrel gable ends, dormers, weather vane, cupola, and roof latticework. Access to the cart barn has been scaled back from a row of distinctive bam doors on the south side of the structure to a single entrance on each of the north and west sides. Paving materials, pazking lot design (including lighting), and landscape standards (with attention to native and/or drought-tolerant plantings) will remain as originally approved. The proposed revision will be in keeping with the rest room buildings, on-site pump stations and the DSRSD pump station already constructed. In general, the modifications would continue with the theme elements and style used to tie together the structures within the development scheme approved with PA 99-060. The proposed revisions to the revised floor plan and elevation design are consistent with the objectives and quality displayed with the original approval in terms of style, materials, and decoration. The revisions would not diminish or detract from presenting the image of Dublin Ranch Area A as an upscale residential community. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Dublin Ranch Area A, including the proposed golf course, is located within The Eastem Dublin Specific Plan adopted in 1994 along with a certified Program EIR (SCH No. 91-103064). The City of Dublin, as the Lead Agency, also has prepazed focused Initial Studies and a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this part of Area A. The revised/amended Site Development Review proposed for the Golf Course Clubhouse and attached Cart Bam do not represent a significant deviation from the approved project, and no new impacts or issues were identified as a part of the review. There would be no change to any of the Mitigation Measures in the Program EIR or subsequent Mitigated Negative Declarations adopted as a part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and PA 99-060. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff would generally review a change such as this and if it were deemed consistent, the Director of Community Development would approve the revision as a Site Development Review Waiver to the previously approved Site Development Review. However, as the Clubhouse building represents a significant visual resource for the golf course as well as an enhancement to the recreational amenities in Dublin, it was felt that the Planning Commission should have an opportunity to review this proposed revision. Based upon the applicant's revised development program for the Clubhouse, the architectural elevations of the structure closely approximate those previously approved. Staff cannot find any way to significantly alter this structure to more closely mirror the previous structure given the reduction of the square footage as dictated by the applicant's revised program. The proposed revision to the Clubhouse would, therefore, be determined to be consistent with the previous approval albeit on a smaller scale with the possibilities for future expansion. Should the Planning Commission concur with Staff, the proposed revision would be approved by a Site Development Review Waiver by Staff and the applicant would proceed with design development drawings ultimately resulting in the issuance of building permits and construction of the building. In the event that the Planning Commission has concerns, it would be necessary to direct Staff toward potential changes, at which point the design for the revisions would need to be returned to the Planning Commission for review and approval.

INDERBITZEN Attorney at Law RECEIVED July 18, 2002 JUL 1 8 2002 OUBLIN PLANNWp Mike Porto Planning Department City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, California 94568 Re: Revised SDR Application - Dublin Ranch Golf Club Clubhouse and Cart Barn Planning Commission Meeting -July 23, 2002 Dear Mike: ATI Architects and Engineers will be delivering to you twelve sets of plans (floor plan, revised site plan, composite plan showing previous and current building footprints and new building elevations) as well as a memorandum summarizing the architectural changes and square footage breakdowns for the building, for the- Planning Commission hearing on the above-captioned matter. We will also prepare a new color and materials board for the Planning Commission meeting. The purpose of this correspondence is to transmit the foregoing information and to summarize our request. The primary changes to the SDR and the reasons for the same are as follows: 1. The size and scale of the porte cochere has been reduced so that it will no longer extend over the driveway. We found the original design to be out of scale in relationship to the redesigned clubhouse building. 2. The previous design consisted of two buildings (a cart facility and clubhouse) separated by a courtyard. The building separation was included in the original design as a way of providing improved access and circulation between the north and south sides of the building (parking lot and golf club drop to golf shop and starter area). Upon further examination of this orientation, it was determined that the site layout and organization would be greatly enhanced by concentrating golf shop and golf cart distribution activities on the north side of the building which also resulted in better access to the first and tenth tees. This eliminates the need to shuttle golf clubs from the golf club drop area around the building to the south side of the golf staging azea. As a result, the need for the courtyard has been eliminated.

The cart barn itself has been downsized as our analysis determined that the original design was too lazge for the facility. 4. Food and beverage facilities have been the subject of on-going analysis by the Dublin Ranch Golf Club team. Our eazly designs for the clubhouse did not include a banquet facility. We subsequently chose to include the facility in anticipation of a substantial demand for "non-golf related banquet activities". We have continued to analyze this issue and have determined that the demand for non-golf related banquet facilities cannot be justified at this time. Accordingly, we are proposing to eliminate the banquet facility but reserve an area to be east of the building for future expansion should the demand develop. The proposed faci]ity is large enough to accommodate golf related banquet activities and as we gain more experience with the market in this area we have the ability to provide temporary outdoor banquet facilities in the area where a future banquet facility could be constructed. We have endeavored to incorporate these modifications into a redesign of the cart and clubhouse facility while utilizing similar materials and decorative features of the original design so as to be consistent with the adjacent recreation facility to be constructed by Toll Brothers. I will be available for any questions and/or concerns that you might have. I will be present at the Planning Commission meeting on July 23, 2002 to address any issues that the Planning Commission might have as well. Please advise if you should require any additional information. Very truly yours, ~~~~~~ MARTIN W.
