PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Greenbriar Land Company Tassajara Creek development project is located on the Yarra Yarra ranch within
the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area on the west side of Tassajara Road, north of the Casterson Development.
A total of 445 dwelling units (and four accessory dwellings for ranch workers) will be provided on 64.39 acres.
In its first phase on the East Side of the creek, the project will provide 126 small-lot detached single-family
units on an 18.85 acre site. Subsequent phases will provide 319 dwelling units on the remaining 45.54 acres of
the project site. The property is divided by Tassajara Creek that flows north-south through the middle of the
project. A regional trail and stream corridor buffer are proposed along the east shore of the creek for phase 1 of
the project. The application includes a Planned Development (PD) Rezone Stage 1 and Stage 1 and 2
Development Plan, Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment, Vesting Tentative Map, and Site Development
Review pursuant to a Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Development Agreement is also required prior to
approval of the Final Map.
BACKGROUND:
This project is located at 5374 Tassajara Road (APN 986-0002-002-02). The Specific Plan was adopted
by the City of Dublin in November 1993, and established land use designations for approximately 3,300
acres of land east of the Camp Parks military reserve. The property was prezoned as a Planned
Development District on October 24, 1994, and identified for Medium Density Residential use. A large
component of the plan area was annexed to the City in 1995, including this property owned by Marjorie
Koller and Carolyn Adams.
The site was first used by Europeans for grazing in the 1800's. The existing neo-classical residence was
constructed around 1905. The Kamp family owned the property from 1910 until 1959 and used it as a
dairy farm. The property was purchased by the Koller family in 1959 and has since been used as a horse
ranch and equestrian center. As discussed later in this report, the structures on the site are not significant
examples of their style or period and are not eligible for inclusion in the California Register.
DESCRIPTION:
The project will be developed in phases. The proposed Planned Development (PD) District Development
Plan proposes a generalized Stage 1 Development Plan which divides the project into five phases. The
detailed Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan addresses the 126 dwelling unit first phase. These uses are
2
consistent with the prezoning and in accordance with the Dublin Zoning Ordinance's Planned
Development District procedures.
A General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment are necessary to change the land use
designation of a 16.4 acm portion of a school site located on this property. The plans proposed a Junior
High School on this site that is no longer needed by the Dublin Unified School District. The Applicant is
proposing to change the plans to apply the predominant adjacent General Plan and Specific Plan
designation of Medium Density Residential.
A Vesting Tentative Map and a Site Development Review are necessary to create the lots and establish
design criteria for the homes in this project and the overall design of the project.
The site slopes gently westward toward Tassajara Creek with slight grades near the creek. Development
is proposed on both sides of Tassajara Creek with the Phase 1 being on the eastern side of the creek at the
south end of the property. The project is proposed to have an average setback of 137 feet from the
original top of bank of the creek. The creek corridor area is designated 'Open Space' on the General Plan
and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and an open space easement is a requirement by the Tentative Map
resolution. The developer will dedicate and construct the portion of the regional public trail system along
the Tassajara Creek corridor that crosses the site as part of Phase 1. A total of 10.88 acres, including the
creek and adjacent slopes, will be dedicated as open space.
The first phase of the development consists of 78 single-family cluster homes and 48 traditional single-
family homes. Four distinct two-story floor plans with up to three elevations are proposed for the homes.
The cluster homes will range in size from 1,816 to 2,343 square feet on lots that will have a minimum size
of 2,800 square feet and an average size of 3,719 square feet. The traditional homes will range in size
from 2,296 to 3,113 square feet on lots that have a minimum size of 3,950 and an average size of 4,855
square feet. The cluster homes will be grouped in clusters of seven units per court. Four of the homes
will have driveways that can be used for parking two cars each. Three of the clustered homes will have
short (5 foot) driveways. Each cluster will have a four-space parking bay. The development concept is
depicted in the diagrams included in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan. Two residual lots,
numbers 130 and 131 will be developed in later phases. The Planned Development proposes that two
accessory dwelling units be permitted on lots 129 and 131 lot for ranch-related employees. These
accessory dwelling units would be limited to a maximum size of 1,500 square feet and may not be sold
apart from the main dwelling they serve.
ANALYSIS:
GENERAL PLAN/SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
The current General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan designations for the site are Medium Density
Residential, Public/Semi-Public, and Open Space. The change to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan land use maps will involve approximately 16.4 acres of land that was previously designated
as a Junior High School site (Public/Semi-Public) on the land use maps.
The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan acknowledged that, while several school sites were reserved on
the Land Use Map, the need for these schools will depend upon the actual demand generated by
development within the Specific Plan area and the possibility of development in the eastern-most portion
3
of the General Plan area. Based upon the facilities plan confirmed by the Dublin Unified School District,
the District determined that this school site is not needed to serve future students in the East Dublin Area.
It is appropriate that the predominant adjacent plan designation be applied when a publicly designated
area is no longer needed for that purpose. The Applicant is proposing with Staff concurrence that an
Amendment be made to the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use maps to
remove the Public/Semi-Public - Public Facility designation and apply the predominant adjacent plan
designation of Medium Density Residential. A traffic analysis has determined that these changes would
result in a net reduction of traffic.
The proposal for 445 units on 64.39 acres (6.91 dwelling units per acre) is consistent with the density
range of the Medium Density Residential plan designation (6.1 to 14.0 units per acre). With this minor
amendment to the land use maps, all components of the project would be consistent with the Dublin
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING
The Dublin Zoning Ordinance establishes the intent and requirements of a Planned Development District.
The intent of the Planned Development Zoning District is to create a more desirable use of the land, a
more coherent and coordinated development, and a better physical environment than would otherwise be
possible under a single zoning district or combination of zoning districts. This district requires that a
Stage I and Stage 2 Development Plan be adopted to establish regulations for the use, development,
improvement, and maintenance of the property within the requested Planned Development Zoning
District.
STAGE 1 DEVELOPMENT PLAN
A Stage 1 Development Plan is proposed for all 64.39 acres of the project. It includes the first phase of
126 units on the west-side of Tassajara Creek at the south end of the Yarra Yarra Ranch, interim uses in
phases 4 and 5 and future development on phases 2 through 5.
Analysis of Stage 1 Development Plan
Statement of proposed uses. The Development Plan outlines the permitted, conditional and accessory
uses for both the PD-Medium Density Residential area and the PD-Open Space areas. The Medium
Density Residential area allows single-family dwellings for phases 1,2, 4 and 5. Single-family dwellings
and multi-family dwellings are allowed in Phase 3 on the West-side of Tassajara Creek. Conditional uses
for phases 1,2, 4, and 5 are as established by the R-1 Zoning District. Conditional uses for phase 3 will
be determined by a future Development Plan. The accessory uses for all phases of the project are as
determined by the Zoning Ordinance. The Open Space area allows no land uses other than a private water
well, a public trail, a maintenance road and any maintenance activities necessary for the private water
well, public trail, or maintenance road. Two bridges may cross the creek but must span any areas
designated Open Space. Two outfalls may be constructed within the creek setback.
Interim uses.
Lot 129. The interim use for Lot 129 at the north end of the project along Tassajara Road is an equestrian
center including a large covered arena, with stalls several barns, a single-family dwelling unit and two
accessory living units for ranch-related workers. The future use for Lot 129 is a maximum of 79 dwelling
units.
Lot 131. The interim use for Lot 131 (the future residence of Mrs. Koller) at the north end of the project
west of Tassajara Creek is a single family dwelling unit and two accessory living units for ranch-related
workers. If the accessory living units are not built by Mrs. Koller, they may not be built by any
subsequent owner. The accessory living units may not be sold separately of the main dwelling. The
future use for Lot 131 is a maximum of one dwelling unit.
Stage 1 Site Plan. The Stage 1 Site Plan consists of Sheet PUD 4 of 17 of the project plans.
Site area, proposed densities and phasing plan. The site area, proposed densities and phasing for the
Stage 1 Site Plan are shown in the following chart:

General Plan and Specific Plan Consistency. The Development Plan contains a statement that the
Stage 1 Development Plan is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
designation (as amended) of Medium Density Residential.
Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. The Development Plan contains a written statement that this project
will comply with the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations by entering into an Affordable Housing Agreement
with the City and by paying an in-lieu fee.
STAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT PLAN
5
A Stage 2 Development Plan is proposed for Phase 1 of the project with 126 dwelling units on 18.85
acres.
Analysis of Stage 2 Development Plan
Statement of Compatibility with Stage 1 Development Plan. The Stage 2 Development Plan contains a
statement that the Stage 1 and 2 Development plan conforms in all respects with the Stage 1 Development
Plan to ensure that the latter is correctly implemented.
Statement of proposed uses. The Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan proposed uses are single-family
dwellings for phase 1. Conditional and accessory uses are as established in the R-1 Zoning District. The
Open Space area allows no land uses other than a private water well, a public trail, a maintenance road
and any maintenance activities necessary for the private water well, public trail, or maintenance road.
Two bridges may cross the creek but must span any areas designated Open Space. Two outfalls may be
constructed within the creek setback.
Stage 1 and 2 Site Plan. Sheet PUD 1 of 17 of the project plans constitutes the Stage 1 and 2 Site Plan
and shows the location and arrangement of proposed land uses, cimulation system, parking areas, limits of
grading and the phasing boundaries.
Site area, proposed densities and phasing plan. The site area, proposed densities and phasing plan are
as shown in the chart above.
Development Regulations. Detailed Development Regulations for Phases land 2 for the single-family
cluster homes and traditional single-family homes are established. The regulations address lot
dimensions, size, with and depth. Regulations are established regarding setbacks, accessory structures,
building height, architectural projections, residential massing and parking.
Architectural Standards. The architectural standards for Phase 1 are established by the architectural
drawings in the project plans. It is understood that these plans are conceptual but must be generally
followed pursuant to the Site Development Review process addressed later in this staff report.
Preliminary Landscaping Plan. PUD Sheets 14 through 16 of the project plans constitute the
Preliminary Landscaping Plan. A condition of the Site Development Review requires the submittal ora
Final Landscaping and Irrigation Plan that must conform to the Preliminary Landscaping Plan and the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Dublin Zoning Ordinance. The Dublin Zoning Ordinance general requirements and procedures will
apply for this project unless specifically modified by this Planned Development Rezone.
School Mitigation Agreement. The Developer must enter into a written school agreement with the
Dublin Unified School District. The agreement will address the level of mitigation necessary including
school impact fees, the time of payment and similar matters.
Creek improvements. All creek improvements must be completed as part of Phase 1 prior to the
occupancy of any dwelling units.
Compliance with PUD Plans. The project must substantially comply with the project plans.
The approval of the project would incorporate this Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan, in accordance
with the City's Zoning Ordinance, as well as the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan requirement for a "District
Planned Development Plan". The approved Planned Development (PD) Rezone and Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan will include all text and diagrams attached as Exhibit A to Attachment 3.
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan requires that Site Development Review occur at the Vesting Tentative
Map stage. Pursuant to Chapter 8.104 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, the purpose of the Site
Development Review process is to promote orderly, attractive, and harmonious site and structural
development. It addresses building location, architectural and landscape design and theme, vehicular and
pedestrian access, on-site circulation, parking, and traffic impacts. The Site Development Review
establishes detailed regulations for the development of Phase 1 of this project.
Architecture
Home designs for the cluster units will be Traditional, Wood (Eastern Seaboard), and French. The home
designs for the traditional single-family units will be Traditional, French, Santa Barbara and Monterey.
The sensitive placement of windows for privacy, and the extensive use of design elements consistent with
the architectural style throughout the site contribute to an overall well-planned community. The homes
will conform to architectural plans prepared by Kaufman, Meeks and Partners, Inc. contained in the Stage
1 and Stage 2 Development Plan (Exhibit A to Attachment 3) as revised by Staff and color scheme book
dated received March 22, 1999.
Plotting Plan
The plotting of each unit by floor plan is shown for each residential lot on page PUD 14 of 17 in the
project plans. The project will include clustered unit floor-plans with both front entry garages and side
entry garages (for comer lots). With the wide variety of floor-plans, elevation styles and 26 different
color schemes, no two adjacent lots will contain the same front elevation, resulting in an interesting
project streetscape which maintains architectural continuity.
Noise Mitigation
Tassajara Road is the major noise source impacting the project site. An acoustical analysis performed for
the project included the requirement of sound attenuation to ensure that residential areas in the project
meet City noise standards. A six-foot tall sound barrier would reduce the outdoor noise level to a level of
65 dB that is conditionally acceptable by City Standards. A ten-foot tall noise barrier would reduce the
outdoor noise level to a level of 60 dB that is acceptable to the City unless esthetic and practical
considerations determine otherwise. Other soundwalls approved along Tassajara Road are 6 feet tall. A
10-foot tall wall would not be compatible with the surrounding area or be acceptable to the residents of
the adjacent homes. The project is proposing a sound barrier along Tassajara Road that will consist ora
six-foot tall soundwall, which, along with other noise reduction measures, has been incorporated into the
project design and made a condition of approval of the Site Development Review. Specific insulation and
7
mechanical ventilation standards will be required for some units, and will be reviewed as part of the
building permit process.
Additional noise concems applicable to this project were addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
EIR and the Initial Study for this project. The EIR Mitigation Monitoring Program requires relocation of
the adjacent County Sheriff's firearms range. Even though the firing range will be relocated by the time
this project is occupied and the project will comply with applicable noise standards, there is still the
potential that noise from the relocated firing ranges could disturb residents of this project. A condition of
approval of the Site Development Review requires the Developer to disclose to potential homebuyers the
potential for noise impacts.
Parking/Streetscape
Each housing cluster will have a four-space parking bay. On-street parking or bay parking will provide a
parking space within 150 feet of most dwelling units. Seven cluster homes and one large lot home do not
have an on-street or bay parking space within 150 feet. The seven cluster units are in clusters where at
least three of the homes in each cluster have driveways exceeding 50 feet in length. The extra driveway
parking should ensure that sufficient guest parking will be provided within 150 feet of each cluster home.
The large lot home (Lot 117) has a driveway that is over 50 feet in length which should ensure that
adequate guest parking will be provided for that home. A development plan standard/condition of
approval requires that a parking bay for four automobiles be provided adjacent to Lot 1. Private streets
with narrower rights-of-way, as reflected on the Planned Development Site Plan and the Vesting Tentative
Map contained in the Exhibit A of Attachment 3, will provide traffic circulation, while contributing to the
pedestrian feel of the neighborhood. Enhanced concrete pavement will be installed at the entrance of the
project.
The single-family units will be provided with two-car garages and minimum 18-foot driveways at each
unit. Parking will also be allowed on both sides of the publicly maintained streets, and on one side of
each of the private streets which serve the cluster homes.
Landscaping
The Preliminary Landscape Plan and Restoration Plan (PUD sheets 14 of 17 to 17 of 17) provide for a
wide variety of street trees, shrubs, vines, perennials and ground covers that are incorporated into a
coordinated site plan and landscape design. The landscape scheme enhances the project's built
environment and blends well with the site's existing natural elements. The main access to the project
includes accent trees and landscaping, decorative paving and column details which not only create a sense
of entry to the project, but also provide a transition from the Tassajara Road arterial to the project's
private circulation for cluster homes. Two major oak trees adjacent to Lots 15 and 18 are being preserved.
A thirty-foot wide landscaped setback is provided along Tassajara Road, consistent with the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan design guidelines and compatible with the streetscape planned for the Dublin Ranch
Phase I project (located on the opposite side of Tassajara Road.). A condition of approval of the Site
Development Review requires the submittal of a Final Landscape and Irrigation Plan prior to the issuance
of building permits. Street trees must be of a minimum 15-gallon size. Exact tree locations and varieties
and shrub, vine, espalier, and groundcover varieties will be reviewed and approved by the Director of
Community Development. The Final Landscaping and Irrigation Plan must conform to the City's Water
Efficient Landscape Regulations.
8
Stream Restoration Plan
A Restoration Plan prepared by Zentner and Zentner dated received April 29, 1999 and incorporated by
reference, is proposed that will plant Valley Oaks, native shrub clusters, native grasses to restore the
native habitat that has been degraded by ranch uses and structures currently within the creek setback area.
The Restoration Plan will also provide a Red Legged Frog breeding pool. The Tassajara Creek corridor
has been designed to take advantage of a natural open space feature through the development of public
regional trail and creek buffer with native landscaping. A 12-foot wide trail with 2 and 4 foot wide gravel
shoulders, also serving as a maintenance road, will parallel the east bank in Phase 1 of the project. The
creek area will retain most of its natural trees and shrubs except for where one stormdrain outfall will be
constructed for Phase 1 and another stormdrain outfall and two bridges will be constructed in future
phases. The planting of the Valley Oaks will compensate for the loss of trees to outfall and bridge
construction.
The Eastern Dublin Stream Restoration Program is applicable to this project, and requires that the creek
corridor be reserved for the regional public trail and open space. The project proposes an average setback
of 137 feet from the original top of bank of Tassajara Creek. All proposed project elements (with the
exception of the outfalls and bridges, habitat restoration work and segments of the regional trail) are more
than 100 feet from the original top of bank of Tassajara Creek.
Red-Legged Frog
The California Red-Legged Frog (Rana aurora draytonii) (RLF) is a Federally listed threatened species
pursuant to the Endangered Species act of 1973. A RLF was discovered in Tassajara Creek by a biologist
reviewing this project on behalf of the City of Dublin. The City has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Initial Study for this project. The City has determined that this project will not have
significant environmental impacts to the RLF or RLF habitat based on the Initial Study and mitigation
measures thereof, studies prepared by the Applicant's biologist, Zentner and Zentner and mitigation
measures of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR.
The RLF findings of the Initial Study are as follows:
Potential breeding habitat for the RLF exists in the aquatic portions of the creek channel, which
will not be physically impacted by the project;
Potential RLF foraging and/or estivation habitat consists of riparian woodlands adjacent to the
creek and upland aquatic and riparian areas where sufficient cover is provided by existing
vegetation, structures or stored materials. Impacts to riparian habitat will be temporary and consist
of the installation of two stormdrains and construction of two bridges spanning the creek. Upland
habitat outside of the buffers will be permanently developed for residential use;
No upland RLF migratory routes to adjacent properties west of Tassajara Road will be blocked by
the project;
The proposed buffer from the creek, which averages 137 feet in width, is adequate to minimize
impacts to RLF to a level of less than significant;
A series of proposed RLF mitigation measures have been included in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Initial Study prepared for this project. In addition the construction of an off-channel
pond, pre-construction surveys, split-rail fencing and vegetative restoration, will mitigate temporary
construction-related impacts to RLF to a less than significant level with mitigation incorporation.
@
Mitigation Measures. Mitigation measures have been included in the Draft Negative Declaration and
Initial Study/Mitigation Monitoring Program and in the Development Plan standards and Tentative Map
conditions of approval. See Attachment 13. These mitigation measures, as well as mitigation measures of
the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report, will ensure that
the impacts of this project are reduced to a level of insignificance as required by the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Comment Letters and Response Letters
The City has received 11 letters commenting on the Mitigated Negative Declaration which are in
Attachment 15. Copies of the City's written responses to these letters of comment are included in
Attachment 16. The comment letters generally assert that:
2.
3.
4.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration is not an adequate document.
A wider creek setback of 300 feet be provided.
An EIR be prepared because the listing of the RLF as "threatened" is new information.
Dry weather flows from the storm drain outfalls into the creek will erode the stream banks
rendering them susceptible to bank failure during high flows.
The City, working in conjunction with the City's biological consultant LSA, has determined that the
concerns raised in the letters commenting on the MND are adequately addressed by the Eastern Dublin
FEIR, the MND, project design, and development standards/conditions of approval. A brief discussion of
each issue listed above follows.
1. The City feels that the MND and the previous EIR are adequate review per CEQA. Many
comments generally reflect a disagreement between Department of Fish and Game biologists and the
City's biologists. Based on the applicant's and City's biologists review of site-specific conditions, the
mitigation measures and MND are adequate.
2. A wider creek setback of 300 feet is not necessary because site specific biologicial studies have
resulted in the detection of one RLF in the creek and no RLF in the upland areas. Due to the few
observations of RLF during several surveys it is unlikely that RLF will be moving to adjacent upland
habitat on the project site. The disturbed riparian habitat on the creek will be reestablished. The current
habitat will be suitable for use by the RLF. There is no current barrier to the movement downstream to
this site by RLF from occupied upstream habitat. Therefore the site has not been eliminated from possible
use by the RLF and the RLF will not be removed from Tassajara Creek by this project. (See Attachment
17).
3. The program EIR prepared for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan
evaluated individual and cumulative impacts to RLF and California Tiger Salamander (CTS). As a
designated "candidate" species for federal listing and a state "Species of Special Concern" at the time, the
EIR identified potentially significant impacts on the RLF even though RLF were not seen on the project
site at the time. The impacts to the RLF are not a new significant effect because they were already
addressed in the EIR. The adopted EIR mitigation measure requirement of a creek buffer remains
adequate even though there may be disagreements among biologists as to the appropriate width of the
buffer. The Mitigated Negative Declaration continues to treat the RLF as a significant impact pursuant to
the EIR and refines the mitigation to reflect site-specific conditions and the biology of the creek as it
l0
passes through the project site. Based on site-specific studies, the applicant's and the City's biologists
agree that the EIR mitigations as refined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration will continue to reduce
any impacts to RLF to less than significant. The City has therefore determined that a subsequent EIR is
not required.
4. The City feels that there will be no erosion of the stream banks rendering them susceptible to bank
failure during high flows. The applicant's engineer, RJA, has worked with the City Public Works
Department and Zone 7 to design outfall structures that will not cause erosion and that can be constructed
without encroachment into the aquatic zone of the creek. The outfall structure will contain permeable
drain rock that will filter low flows rather than allowing the water to flow directly into the creek. The
rock will be placed over an impermeable barrier causing the water to percolate horizontally through the
structure. This will prevent the soil form being saturated which could weaken the stability of the structure
and the adjacent slope. Further, the creek soils consist of stiff to hard clays that have a low susceptibility
to erosion.
Walls and Fences
As mentioned above, a 6 foot tall soundwall noise buffer will be constructed along the eastern property
boundary of the residential lots along Tassajara Road. The material will be pre-cast concrete panels to
match the project architecture, with pilasters at each wall joint. Rock pilasters will be provided at the
project entry. A 6-foot solid wood property line fence will be constructed between residential lots. Some
side-yard areas and exterior lot lines will have masonry perimeter walls to complement the project's
architecture.
Maintenance of Landscaping/Streets/Open Space
The City generally is responsible for maintenance of landscaping within the rights-of-way of streets that it
accepts for dedication. The landscape improvements for street right-of-way, open spaces and stream
corridor parcels will be installed by the Developer concurrently with the development of the adjacent
residential parcel unless otherwise specified by Zone 7 or the Development Agreement. Private streets
and landscaping on lands jointly owned by the cluster home homeowners will be maintained by the
Homeowners Association of the clustered homes. Tassajara Road and the public streets in the project will
be publicly maintained. The open space areas will be owned and maintained by for flood control purposes
by Zone 7. The landscaping in the open space areas and the Tassajara Road frontage will be maintained
by a Maintenance Association made up of all property owners within the entire development. Either the
East Bay Regional Parks District or the Maintenance Association will maintain the Regional Trail within
an easement through Zone 7 owned land.
VESTING TENTATIVE MAP
The developer has submitted Vesting Tentative Map 7075 for Phase 1 proposing to subdivide an existing
parcel of 64.39 acres into 131 lots and 11 open space or street parcels. The first 126 residential lots would
constitute Phase 1 of the development. Subsequent lots would be developed according to the phasing plan
in the Development Plan. The primary access to the project will be from Tassajara Road, via a public
street (Street "A"), and the secondary access will be via the future extension of the public Creek View
Drive and Street "D" which will connect to Tassajara Road as shown on PUD sheet 9 of 17. Private
streets and cluster drives will provide additional access to residences.
Improvements provided by the Vesting Tentative Map, along with the Conditions of Approval, address
flood control, street improvements, utilities, schools, phasing, noise mitigation, landscaping, and the
regional trail system. Street improvements and right-of-way dedications are shown in detail on the
Vesting Tentative Map and Site Plans contained in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan ( Exhibit A
of Attachment 3). Requirements of the affected utilities and special districts have been incorporated into
the Conditions of Approval as part of the required "will-serve" commitments.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is within the Dublin General Plan's Eastem Extended Planning Area and the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan area, which was the subject of an Environmental Impact Report, certified by the City of
Dublin in 1993 including revisions to Part I of the Responses to Comments relating to the Kit Fox, and
Addendum to the DEIR dated May 4, 1993 and a DKS Associates Traffic Study dated December 15, 1992
(SCH91103064) (see Background 9). The General Plan/Specific Plan EIR is a program EIR, which
anticipated several subsequent actions related to future development in Eastern Dublin. The EIR did
identify some impacts from implementation of the General Plan/Specific Plan which were not able to be
mitigated. Upon certification of the EIR, the City adopted a statement of overriding considerations for
such impacts, some of which relate to this project (e.g.; visual impacts and biological impacts). The City
also adopted a mitigation monitoring program, which included numerous measures intended to reduce
impacts from the development of the Eastern Dublin area. These mitigation measures apply to project
approvals and actions at various stages in the development process, and will be applied to this project as
applicable primarily through Development Plan standards and VTM Conditions of Approval. The timing
of these mitigation measures is indicated in the City's EIR mitigation monitoring matrix, attached as a
Background Attachment 14.
An Initial Study, dated October 12, 1999, was prepared for the project, to determine whether them will be
additional environmental impacts occurring as a result of this project beyond or different from those
already addressed in the Program EIR. The Initial Study identified some potential impacts to the RLF that
required an examination at a project-specific level of detail, due to the proposed development specific to
the project. As a result of this further evaluation, mitigation measures in the EIR with regard to the RLF
were refined and included in a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project. It has been determined
that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment because all potentially significant
impacts have been analyzed adequately in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR and
addenda pursuant to applicable standards, and/or have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier
EIR, and/or through revisions, conditions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the project or
agreed to by the project proponent and because a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be adopted that
mitigates any project-related impacts of this project to a level of insignificance through the adoption of
mitigation measures and a Mitigation Monitoring Program.
The Initial Study's focused evaluation of pertinent project-level environmental issues include traffic,
noise, and biological effects, cultural resources, and public service issues such as wastewater and schools.
Each of these issues has been the subject of supplemental environmental studies addressing potential
environmental effects at the project level. In each case, studies have determined that the project will not
have any additional significant environmental impacts that were not evaluated in the earlier EIR.
Recommendations from the supplemental studies are included in the project description and/or are
reflected in the Development Plan standards/conditions of approval. Further discussion of the pertinent
issues appears below.
12
TRAFFIC. A traffic study was conducted for the project. It identified several impacts, however the
impacts and related improvements were previously addressed in the certified Program EIR. Mitigation
measures of the EIR required traffic improvements and fees to mitigate any significant impacts. The
recent traffic study improvements, which are reflected in the Development Plan and have been made
conditions of the project, are within the scope of the mitigations identified in the EIR.
NOISE. A supplemental noise study was conducted for the project at a project-specific level to determine
whether the project resulted in any additional noise impacts or required any additional noise mitigation
measures. The study established outdoor noise goals based upon the applicable General Plan and Specific
Plan standards, and identified areas in which sound barriers and other measures would be needed to
achieve these goals. The requirement for these barriers and other measures are reflected in the
Development Plan and have been made conditions of approval of the project. No additional significant
impacts beyond those addressed in the Program EIR were identified for the project.
BIOLOGICAL. Supplemental biological studies were conducted for the project at a project-specific level
to determine whether the project development will result in any additional impacts or requires any
additional mitigation measures. The study also followed up on several studies previously completed as
part of the Program EIR. The project site has been designed with consideration of biological concerns,
and EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration mitigation measures. The mitigation measures are reflected
in the Development Plan and have been made conditions of approval of the project. No additional
significant impacts beyond those addressed in the Program EIR will result from the project.
CULTURAL RESOURCES. The project site contains a residence that was identified in the FEIR as a
potential architecturally significant historic resource. A cultural resource study was conducted to assess
the site and building's architecture, and to determine the extent of significant historic resources on the
property. The study revealed that the residential structure identified as potentially historic is actually a
Victorian-style building constructed around 1910 which has been significantly altered on several
occasions. Several other buildings exist on the site, including barns, workshops, a garage and a
bunkhouse, most of which have been constructed later than the residence. The report concludes that the
property is characteristic of a small family ranching settlement typical of many such homesteads
throughout the region, and does not meet criteria for eligibility to the California Register of Historic
Resources. The report concluded that there are no significant historic resources on the property and that
no impacts to architecture will result from this project.
PUBLIC FACILITIES. The certified Program EIR, as updated by the August 22, 1994 addendum,
examined wastewater facility needs for the project area, and analyzed on a programmatic level mitigations
calling for improvements to wastewater treatment and export facilities. Planning by local agencies for the
improvements necessary to provide adequate wastewater services is ongoing.
SCHOOLS. The Prezoning for this project site requires a School Mitigation Agreement between the
developer and the affected School District to establish the method and manner of financing and/or
constructing school facilities necessary to serve the school population generated by the development. An
agreement will be entered into with the Dublin School District that will cover the site. A copy will on file
in the Planning Department prior to recording of the Final Map.
The Initial Study discusses the provisions of the project, conditions, and applicable mitigation measures of
the Program EIR which address environmental concerns. A copy of the EIR, the Initial Study, and the
13
supplemental environmental studies regarding these issues are incorporated in this Staff Report by
reference (copies are available for review at the Dublin Planning Department, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin,
CA 94568).
As a result of the review of the certified EIR and addenda, and an analysis of pertinent project-level
environmental issues presented in the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project (a)
will not have any new significant effects on the environment which have not been analyzed adequately in
an earlier EIR, or the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for this project, pursuant to applicable
standards. To this extent, the project is within the scope of the Program EIR. Project specific analysis
beyond the Program EIR is reflected in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration. All mitigations
from the Program EIR and the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all recommendations from the
supplemental studies are included in the project description and/or conditions of approval.
CONCLUSION
This application has been reviewed by the applicable City Departments and agencies, and their comments
have been incorporated into the Development Plan standards and Conditions of Approval. The proposed
project is consistent with the Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and represents an
appropriate project for the site.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the Vesting Tentative Map and Site Development
Review (subject to City Council approval of the Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment and Planned

REZONING, VESTING TENTATIVE MAP, SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Patrick Costanzo, Jr., on behalf of Marjorie Koller (Applicant/Developer),
has requested approval of a General Plan/Specific Plan Amendment and Planned Development
Rezone/Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan, Vesting Tentative Map and Site Development
Review to allow for the subdivision of a 64.35 acre parcel for a residential subdivision of 445
residential lots, with public and private open space, and a regional trail along the Tassajara Creek
stream corridor, in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area; and
WHEREAS, the project site is in Eastern Dublin for which the City adopted the Eastern
Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan to provide a comprehensive planning framework
for future development of the area. In connection with this approval, the City certified a program
EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168 (SCH: 91103064, Resolution 51-93, and
Addendum dated August 22, 1994, hereafter Eastern Dublin EIR or program EIR ) which is
available for review in the Planning Department and is incorporated herein by reference. The
program EIR was integral to the planning process and examined the direct and indirect effects,
cumulative impacts, broad policy alternatives, and areawide mitigation measures for developing
Eastern Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the Eastern Dublin EIR identified potentially significant environmental impacts
and related mitigation measures, which the City adopted together with mitigation findings and a
Mitigation Monitoring Program (Resolution 53-93), which mitigation measures and monitoring
program continue to apply to implementing development projects in Eastern Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the Eastern Dublin EIR also identified potentially significant environmental
impacts that could not be avoided by mitigation and for which the City adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations pursuant to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Greenbriar Land Company Tassajara Creek Residential Project is a
development proposal to implement the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an Initial Study to evaluate site-specific impacts of the
project to a greater level of detail than in the program EIR. Based on the Initial Study, the City
prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH: 99102104) and Mitigation Monitoring Program
for the project with the finding that with implementation of the mitigation measures previously
adopted for the program EIR and site specific mitigation measures contained in the Initial Study and
ATTACHMENT 1
agreed to by the developer, and as further clarified in the Response to Comments, the potential site-
specific impacts of the project will be less than significant; and
WHEREAS, a complete application for the project is available and on file in the Planning
Department; and
WHEREAS, a 30 day public review period was held for the Mitigated Negative Declaration,
from October 31, 1999 to November 29, 1999; and
WHEREAS, Eleven letters commenting on the Mitigated Negative Declaration were
received during the public review period from local, state and federal agencies, and from other
interested commenters, primarily regarding the project s effects on two special species, the red-
legged frog and the California tiger salamander; and
WHEREAS, through responses to comments received, information has been added to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration which merely clarifies or makes insignificant modifications to the
document; and
WHEREAS, all comments received during the public review period have been responded to
and are attached to the project staff report as Attachment 16; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15074.1 (b), the responses to comments
include a substitute Mitigation Measure 1 which is equivalent or more effective in avoiding potential
impacts to the red-legged frog than the original Mitigation Measure 1 and that it in itself will not
cause any potentially significant effects on the environment in that the substitute measure would
require that if a red-legged frog is sighted during construction, all work within 100 feet of the
location of the sighting will cease until a biologist verifies that no red-legged frog are present in the
work area; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a properly noticed public hearing on the
project on February 22, 2000 at which time they reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and all reports, recommendations and testimony before them.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the above recitals are incorporated in this
resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby find that:
A. The proposed development is within the scope of the program EIR. Site-specific
environmental effects have been analyzed in an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration which
determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the application
of mitigation measures identified in the program EIR and the Mitigated Negative Declaration. There
is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City that the project as mitigated
will have a significant effect on the environment.
B. The program EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately describe the impacts of
the project. As further discussed in the Initial Study and responses to comments, there have been no
substantial changes in the project or new information which necessitate supplementing the program
EIR pursuant to CEQA section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 in that
1. The proposed project complies with the land uses, densities, and development
policies of the Eastern Dublin GPA/SP.
2. There are no substantially changed circumstances that involve new or substantially
more severe significant impacts. In particular, listing of the red-legged frog is not a
changed circumstance or new information as impacts to this and other sensitive
species were analyzed as significant impacts in the program EIR.
3. There is no new information showing new or substantially more severe impacts.
C. The mitigation measures identified in the program EIR and the Mitigated Negative
Declaration are included in the project description as applicable and are reflected in related
Development Plan standards and Vesting Tentative Map conditions of approval.
D. The Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with State and local
environmental laws and guidelines.
E. The Mitigated Negative Declaration is complete and adequate and reflects the City s
independent judgment and analysis as to the environmental effects of the proposed project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend City Council adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for PA 98-062, Greenbriar
Land Company Tassajara Creek Residential project, including the Initial Study and responses to
comments which are incorporated herein by reference.

ATTACHMENT 3
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 Planned Development Zoning District meets the intent and purpose of
Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a Stage 1 Development Plan for the entire
project and the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase 1, for the Greenbriar project 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, including the Tassajara Creek open
space area and regional trail and future residential homes approved to the east and south of the project.
Adequate setbacks and complementary architectural designs and landscaping proposed in the Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase 1 have been specially designed to provide an attractive living
environment.
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 entire
project and the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase 1, 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 entire project and the Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan for Phase 1, have 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 proposed surrounding
land uses.
4. The proposed Planned Development Rezone, the Stage 1 Development Plan for the entire
project and the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase 1, is consistent with all elements and
policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because the project is within,
and consistent with, the density range of the Medium Density Residential designation 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 archaeological and historic
protection, erosion and siltation control policies, 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 Planned Development Rezone is consistent with Chapter 8.32 in that it the Stage 1
Development Plan for the entire project and the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase 1,
establishes permitted and conditionally permitted uses, accessory uses, and development regulations
which will ensure that the project is compatible with existing and proposed residential, business, and
public uses in the immediate vicinity; and
6. The Planned Development Rezone 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 along Tassajara Creek with minimum alteration of natural land forms; and
7. The Planned Development Rezone will 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 along with the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program will apply to this Project,
along with the conditions made a part of project approval, 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 approve a Plaimed Development Rezone and the Stage 1 Development
Plan for the entire project and the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase 1 (as set forth in
Exhibits A and B to Attachment 3), dated received September 2, 1999, for remaining phases for the
Greenbriar Land Company Tassajara Creek project (PA 98-062), subject to the sheets in Exhibit A to
Attachment 3, which constitutes regulations for the use, improvement, and maintenance of the property.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission
does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding General Plan and Specific
Plan consistency:
1. A General Plan / Specific Plan Amendment and a Planned Development Rezone
application have been proposed along with the Tentative Map and Site Development Review
applications, and are recommended for approval based upon the reasons stated in the Staff Report
and Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment 2). Upon City Council approval of such
Amendments and Rezone, the land use diagram would be changed for approximately 16.4 acres to
reflect the Medium Density Residential land use.
2. With the change to the land use diagram, the proposed project is consistent with the
adopted Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The proposed project is also
consistent with the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the Dublin General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and with the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning
Commission does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed
Vesting Tentative Map:
1. The Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the intent of applicable subdivision
regulations and related ordinances.
2. The design and improvements of the Vesting Tentative Map are consistent with and
conforms to the City's General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies as they apply to the
subject property in that it is a subdivision for implementation of a residential project in an area
designated for Medium Density Residential development and Stream Corridor/Open Space.
3. The Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the Planned Development Rezone
proposed for this project and is, therefore, consistent with the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
4. The project site is located adjacent to major roads on relatively flat topography and is,
therefore, physically suitable for the type and density of development.
5. With the incorporation of mitigation measures from the previous EIR, action programs
and policies of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, mitigation measures of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Conditions of Approval, the design of the subdivision will not cause environmental
damage or substantially injure fish or wildlife or their habitat or cause public health concerns.
2
6. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at
large or access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. The City Engineer has
reviewed the map and title report and has not found any conflicting easements of this nature.
7. Required fire and water service will be provided to the subdivision pursuant to the
requirements of water and sewer providers, if standards and conditions are met and fees paid. Sewer
service for this subdivision shall be provided pursuant to an agreement between the
applicant/developer and DSRSD. School capacity for the residents of this project will be provided
pursuant to a school facilities mitigation agreement between the developer and the Dublin Unified
School District prior to issuance of building permit, as required by the Eastern Dublin Specific
PlardEIR.
8. The City of Dublin has considered the effect of this project on the housing needs of the
region in which it is situated and finds that the public services are available for the project and that
impacts to environmental resources will be mitigated to a level of less than significant pursuant to the
Eastern Dublin General Plan and Specific Plan EIR and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for this
project.
9. The City of Dublin finds that this project does not discharge waste into an existing
community sewer system in violation of existing requirements prescribed by a California regional
water quality control board pursuant to Division 7 of the Water Code because the Dublin San Ramon
Services District has provided conditions of approval which assure that its standards will be met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning
Commission does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Site
Development Review:
1. The approval of this application (PA 98-062), as conditioned, is consistent with the
intent/purpose of Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) of the Zoning Ordinance in that it will
promote orderly, attractive and harmonious site and structural development, resolves major project-
related issues, and ensures compliance with development regulations and the PD Zoning District.
2. The approval of this application, as conditioned, complies with the policies of the
General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and the Planned Development Rezone Development
Plan for the project that allows for residential development at this location.
3. The approval of this application, as conditioned, is in conformance with regional
transportation and growth management plans because road improvements to Tassajara Road will be
made and other road and infrastructure improvements will be made pursuant to a Planned
Development Development Plan, Tentative Map conditions and a related Development Agreement.
4. The approval of this application, as conditioned, is in the best interests of the public
health, safety, and general welfare as the development is consistent with all laws and ordinances and
implements the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
5. The proposed site development, including site layout, vehicular access, circulation and
parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety, and similar elements, as conditioned, has been designed
to provide a harmonious environment for the development.
6. The subject site is physically suitable to the type and intensity of the approved
development because it is relatively flat and has suitable soils.
7. The visual impacts of the project were reviewed in the Eastern Dublin EIR and the
project is consistent with applicable scenic corridor policies for Tassajara Road.
8. The project has been designed with architectural considerations (including the
character, scale, design quality, and the relationship among buildings), along with Conditions of
Approval, in order to ensure compatibility among the design of this project, the character of adjacent
uses, and the requirements of public service agencies.
9. Landscape elements (including the location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage of
plant materials, provisions, and similar elements) combined with Conditions of Approval have been
established to ensure visual relief and an attractive public environment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
approve the Vesting Tentative Map and Site Development Review for PA 98-062 subject to the
following Conditions of Approval and subject to the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring Program and City Council approval of the proposed General Plan
Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezone, Stage 1 and 2 Development
Plan for Phase 1, Stage 1 Development Plan for the remaining phases, and Development Agreement:
