The retail center is comprised of seven buildings oriented in an east-west fashion around a center common space ("The Green") with five outlying pad buildings.

G: IPA#12007107-019 BHV Lifestyle CenterlCC Mtg 11.4.081CCSR DA - 2nd reading 11.18.08.doc ANALYSIS: Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan require a Development Agreement between the Developer and the City. California Government Code §§ 65864 et seq. and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code (hereafter "Chapter 8.56") authorize the City to enter into an agreement for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to obtain certain commitments and establish certain development rights for the property. The Development Agreement must be approved prior to recordation of the final Tract Map and issuance of building permits for the development of the property. Development Agreements are approved by an ordinance of the City Council upon recommendation by the Planning Commission. Instead of a creating a new Development Agreement for The Green on Park Place, the City and Applicant have agreed to amend the existing Development Agreement that is in place for the Project site, the Ikea Project Development Agreement. The Ikea Project Development Agreement was adopted by the City Council via Ordinance 11-04 and was executed on May 6, 2004. Many of the obligations of the original Development Agreement, pertaining to the installation of public improvements, etc., have already been completed. Those obligations which have not already been completed will be done so by the new property owners as they have assumed the responsibilities of the Development Agreement. The amended Development Agreement (Exhibit A to Attachment 1) was drafted with input from City Staff, the project Applicant, property owner, and the City Attorney based on the standard Development Agreement prepared by the City Attorney and adopted by the City Council for projects located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The specific amendments to the Development Agreement are only those items which are referenced in the "Amendment to Agreement" section of the Development Agreement. If not noted to be amended in this section, the requirements of the original Ikea Project Development Agreement still apply and shall be completed. The amended Development Agreement addresses a variety of issues, such as the payment of specific traffic impact fees, and it also includes an extension to the term of the original Development Agreement to allow the most recent planning approvals (including Site Development Review) to be valid for five years. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, an Addendum to the Ikea Project Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and the Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment was prepared for The Green on Park Place Project (at that time still referred to as the Emerald Place Retail Center Project). The Addendum concluded that no new significant environmental impacts were identified and no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts had been discovered as a result of the Project. The Addendum included the Initial Study, and along with the Supplementary Traffic Analysis conducted, the .Addendum was adopted by the City Council on October 2, 2007 when the first reading of the Stage 1 Planned Development rezoning was approved. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, no subsequent Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared for this Project, as no substantial changes have been proposed to the Project or the conditions under which the Project will be carried out that require major revisions of the previous Environmental Impact Reports or the Addendum. No new significant environmental impacts have been identified and no substantial increase in the severity of previously- identified impacts has been discovered. The Project remains subject to all previously-adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. Page 2 of 3 Because the previous environmental analysis included the approval of a Development Agreement for the Project in the project description, no further environmental determinations are needed to approve the proposed amendments to this Development Agreement. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: At the City Council meeting on November 4, 2008, the City Council introduced an ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and Stockbridge/BHV Emerald Place Land Company for The Green on Park Place Retail Center Project. As required by the Dublin Municipal Code, a second reading of the proposed- Ordinance is necessary prior to adoption. PUBLIC NOTICING: In accordance with State law, a Public Hearing Notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants/residents within three hundred feet of the Project site and to all parties requesting such notice. The Public Hearing Notice provided a description of the Project including the location, approvals sought and environmental review undertaken. The Public Hearing Notice was also published in the Valley Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. CONCLUSION: The proposed amendments to the Development Agreement will implement the provisions of the Planned Development Zoning for The Green on Park Place Retail Center Project (PA 07-019), the Stage 2 Development Plan, Site Development Review, Tentative Parcel. Map 9783, and all related Conditions of Approval. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council waive the reading and adopt an Ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and StockbridgeBHV Emerald Place Land Company for The Green on Park Place Retail Center Project.

The project remains subject to all previously-adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. The Addendum was adopted by the Dublin City Council on October 2, 2007. C.

Seven buildings face an interior park-like space called "The Green," and five smaller pad buildings are at the perimeter of the site. The buildings are. primarily one story in height, with the exception of the two buildings bounding the south side of The Green, which have two-story portions of the buildings framing the southern pedestrian entry to The Green, as shown below: ~; ;x - v r....~_.._ . ~-. ..._,_._.. ~' _ _. . . ___ ,y ; 3f _ ,__... prKr~w~ r r..~ .il.N 7kJ Y ~+ ~ ~'4 ~r.- I:~ ~ L ~ ` ~C § _.x 'x R fat P~ I i ,~rr.. ` ~~ .y. +!, ~' ~~ ~ ~f tY. 4.01..1( _ - ~~~ _ { •t ~~>a. ...~.,..' .~ ~~i ' ~ .1._-,.3,~ e. .. ~~4~3 _ ~ - ..., - y '~ ~ h: " ~ e ~ . _ ~..-L ~~-.. ~ ~ ~ 1 ;-~-^ ::. _~_7 r ,~ ~ _ : _ .i..t ^. ~~1~ ' ' ~i'kink3j ;?

The Green on Park Place is designed to provide an engaging experience for shoppers, diners and families as a destination and gathering place that will provide a rewarding and refreshing retail experience. The Green's centerpiece is a grand east-west pedestrian oriented street, Park Place, that will offer a 900 ft., Page 2 of 4 I~ three-block-lon ublic s ace, surrounded by retail,. restaurants and meaningful gathering ar s. I g p p Programmed as a series of outdoor "rooms," The Green is punctuated by built structures and arranged landscaping along a curvilinear alignment. This area is intended to have a lively urban feel, programmed with amenities that provide a rich pedestrian experience, such as walking paths, water features and sitting areas. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the project as proposed, including the Stage 2 Planned Development Zoning District and the project-specific Site Development Review at their meeting on July 22, 2008. The City Council then approved the Site Development Review application on August 5, 2008 and the Stage 2 Planned Development Zoning Ordinance was adopted at the following meeting on August 19, 2008. , ANALYSIS: Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) require a Development Agreement between the Developer and the City. California Government Code §§ 65864 et seq. and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code (hereafter "Chapter 8.56") authorize. the City to enter into an agreement for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to obtain certain commitments and establish certain development rights for the property. The Development Agreement must be approved prior to recordation of the final Tract Map and issuance of building permits for the development of the property. Development Agreements are approved by an ordinance of the City Council upon recommendation by the Planning Commission. Instead of creating a new Development Agreement for The Green on Park Place, the City and Applicant have agreed to amend the existing Development Agreement that is in place for the project site, the IKEA Project Development Agreement (DA). The IKEA Project DA was adopted by the City Council via Ordinance 11-04 and was executed on May 6, 2004. Many of the obligations of the original Development Agreement, pertaining to the installation of public improvements, etc., have already been completed. Those obligations which have not already been completed will be done so by the new property owners as they have assumed the responsibilities of the Development Agreement. The amended Development Agreement (Exhibit A to Attachment I) was drafted with input from City Staff, the project Applicant, property owner, and the City Attorney based on the standard Development Agreement prepared by the City Attorney and adopted by the City Council for projects located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The specific amendments to the Development Agreement are only those items which are referenced in the "Amendment to Agreement" section of the DA. If not noted to be amended in this section, the requirements of the original IKEA Project Development Agreement still apply and shall be completed. The amended Development Agreement addresses a variety of issues, such as the payment of specific traffic impact fees, and it also includes an extension to the term of the original Development Agreement to allow the most recent planning approvals (including Site Development Review) to be valid for five years. PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING OF OCTOBER 14, 2008: At the October 14, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously approved Resolution 08-25, which recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the Development Agreement to the City Council. The Planning Commission did not have any questions of Staff or the Applicant during the meeting. Pa ue ~ of 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: I~ ~ ~ r Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Addendum to the IKEA Project Supplemental EIR and the Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment was prepared for The Green on Park Place project (at that time still referred to as the Emerald Place Retail Center project). The Addendum concluded that no new significant environmental impacts were identified and no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts had been discovered as a result of the project. The Addendum included the Initial Study, and along with the Supplementary Traffic Analysis conducted, the Addendum was adopted by the City Council on October 2, 2007 when the first reading of the Stage 1 Planned Development rezoning was approved. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for this project, as no substantial changes have been proposed to the project or the conditions under which the project will be carried out that require major revisions of the previous EIRs or the Addendum. No new significant environmental impacts have been identified and no substantial increase in the severity of previously- identified impacts has been discovered. The project remains subject to all previously-adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. Because the previous environmental analysis included the approval of a Development Agreement for the project in the project description, no further environmental determinations are needed to approve the proposed amendments to this Development Agreement. CONCLUSION: The proposed amendments to the Development Agreement will implement the provisions of the Planned Development Zoning for The Green on Park Place Retail Center Project (PA 07-019), the Stage 2 Development Plan, Site Development Review, Tentative Parcel Map 9783, and all related Conditions of Approval. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Open the public hearing; 2) Receive the Staff presentation; 3) Take testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close the public hearing and deliberate, and 5) Waive the reading and introduce an Ordinance (Attachment 1) approving a Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and StockbridgeBHV Emerald Place Land Company for The Green on Park Place Retail Center Project with the Development Agreement attached as Exhibit A.
