Council makes the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development
(Village Parkway Specific Plan) rezoning for PA 02-012:
1. The proposed Planned Development (Village Parkway Specific Plan) Zoning District meets the
purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it will provide uses that are
appropriate for the site as was determined during the Specific Plan adoption process; and
2. Development under the Planned Development (Village Parkway Specific Plan) Zoning District will
be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding areas; and
3. The Planned Development rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of
the Planned Development Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information
required by Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Chapter 8.32,
A through H, of the Zoning Ordinance; and
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being proposed
because it is an improved site with adjacent roadways which are designed to carry traffic that would
be generated by the proposed types of uses; and
5. The proposed rezoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working
in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare because the project has
been built according to City laws and regulations and because the Planned Development (Village
Parkway Specific Plan) Zoning District will limit land uses to those which are appropriate for this
site; and
6. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Retail/Office designation of the Dublin General Plan
the proposed use types are permitted by said designation.

Parkway Specific Plan and does not require additional environmental review under CEQA.
