DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO ESTABLISH REVISED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR
PRIVATE YARDS WITHIN THE MEDIUM DENSITY LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE
CROAK AND JORDAN PROPERTIES
(APN 905-0002-001, 905-0002-002, AND 9135-0027-007)
PA 07-056
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. RECITALS
A. By Ordinance No. 32-05 the City Council rezoned :he approximately 1,134-acre Fallon
Village project area generally located north of I-580 and east of Fallen Road to the Planned Development
Zoning District (PA 04-044) and actopted a Stage 1 Development Plan for the entire project area which
includes the Croak and Jordan properties (APN 905-0002-001, 905-0002-002, AND 985-0027-007).
B. This Ordinance amends the Stage 1 Development Plan approved in Ordinance No. 32-05
by the City Council on December 20, 2005.
Section 2. FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
The Planned Development (PD) Rezoning, with amended Stage I Development Plan, (PA 07-056)
meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because: it will encourage a
variety of different product types with usable private yard areas while providing flexibility. As
amended the PD will continue to provide a comprehensive and coordinated development plan for a
larger area with multiple.: ownerships that creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to
surrounding land uses by making efficient use of development areas so as to allow sensitive
ridgelines and biological areas to be undeveloped.
2- The PD Rezoning, with amended Stage I Development Plan, will be harmonious and compatible
with existing and future development in the surrounding areas because: 1) the land uses and site
plan establish residential uses; 2) the proposed residenti<l uses will provide a transition from
the high density neighborhoods located in the Fallon Village Center to the Low Density
neighborhoods to the north and east; and 3) the uses are consistent with the higher intensity of
uses anticipated for the Fallon Village Center and mill continue to promote an active,
pedestrian oriented development in the Fallon Village Center.
B. Pursuant to Section 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Munic: pal Code, the City Council finds as
follows:
The PD Rezoning, with amended Stage 1 Development Plan, will be harmonious and compatible
with existing and future development in the surrounding areas because: 1) the land uses and site
plan establish residential uses; 2) the proposed residentia. uses will provide a transition from
Page 1 of 4
EXHIBIT A
the high density neighborhoods located in the Fallon Village Center to the Low Density
neighborhoods to the north and east; and 3) the uses are consistent with the higher intensity
of uses anticipated for the Fallon Village Center and will continue to promote an active,
pedestrian oriented development in the Fallon Village Center.
2. The Project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being
proposed because: 1) the amended land uses and site plan are consistent with the amended
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) land use designation of Medium
Density Residential (6.1-14 du/acre); 2) the Fallon Vilh ge site is flatter towards the south
with rolling hills generally north, and development is concentrated in less constrained areas;
and 3) the flexibility of the PD allows future development to be tailored to onsite conditions.
3. The PD Rezoning, with amended Stage 1 Development Plan, will not adversely affect the health or
safety ofpersons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare because: the Stage 1 Development Plan has been designed in accordance with the City
of Dublin General Plan and the EDSP, and future development will comply with all applicable
development regulations and standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures.
4. The PD Rezoning, with amended Stage 1 Development .Plan, is consistent with the Dublin
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because: 1) the proposed uses on the site are
consistent with the General Plan and EDSP land use designations; 2) the development
standards for private yards will not result in an increase: in the total number of residential
dwellings anticipated for the subject properties by the Creneral Plan and EDSP; and 3) the
anticipated development of the site is consistent with th,: goals and policies of the General
Plan and the EDSP.
C. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 222-05 certifying a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (SCH #2005062010) to
the Eastern Dublin EIR, a program EIR initially certified by the City of Dublin in 1993
(SCH#91103064) and the Eastern Dublin Property Owners SEIR (SCH # 2001052114) certified in
2002 by Resolution 40-02 for the Fallon Village project. The prior EIRs are available for review in
the Community Development Department. The proposed project is within the scope of the SEIR for
the Fallon Village project area because the project does not result in increased units or density
beyond what was previously studied for the subject properties, and therefore no additional
environmental review is required.
Section 3. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
Pursuant to Chapter 8.32, Title 8 of the City of Dublin Municipal Code, the Dublin Zoning Map is
amended to rezone the following property ("the Property") to a PD-Planned Development district:
10.4+ acres located in an area bounded by Croak Road to the: east, the future extension of Central
