for the property. The proposed Development Agreement includes an extended term of 15 years and
requires the Developer to make a Community Benefit payment of $1,000,000 to the City on or before the

The following Additional Conditions are hereby imposed pursuant to
Paragraph 5.3 above.
Subparagraph 5.3.1 -- Subsequent Discretionary Approvals
At Developer's sole discretion and in accordance with Developer's
construction schedule, Developer shall apply for such other permits and
approvals as may be required by other governmental orquasi-governmental
entities in connection with the development of, or the provision of services to, the
Project. City shall cooperate with Developer in its efforts to obtain such permits
and approvals.
Subparagraph 5.3.2 --Mitigation Conditions
Subsection a. Infrastructure Sequencing Program
The Infrastructure Sequencing Program for the Project is set forth below.
(i) Roads:
The project-specific roadway improvements (and offers of
dedication) identified in Resolution No. 07-01 of the City of Dublin Planning
Commission approving Site Development Review for Wallis Ranch, Master
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7515, and Neighborhood Vesting Tentative Tract
Maps 7711, 7712, 7713, 7714, 7715, and 7716 for Neighborhoods 1 through 6
for PA 05-051 (hereafter "SDR and VTM Resolution") shall be completed by
Developer to the satisfaction of the City Engineer at the times and in the manner
specified in the SDR and VTM Resolution unless otherwise provided below. All
such roadway improvements shall be constructed to the satisfaction and
requirements of City's City Engineer.
(ii) Sewer.
All sanitary sewer improvements to serve the project site (or any
recorded phase of the Project) shall be completed in accordance with DSRSD
requirements.
(iii) Water.
An all weather roadway and an approved hydrant and water supply
system shall be available and in service at the site in accordance with the
Dublin/Lin Family Development Agreement Page 2 of 8
For Wallis Ranch (Dublin Ranch West) -EXHIBIT B
tentative map conditions of approval to the satisfaction and requirements of the
City's fire department.
All potable water system components to serve the project site shall
be completed in accordance with the DSRSD requirements.
Recycled water lines shall be installed in accordance with the
tentative map conditions of approval.
(iv) Storm Drainage.
The storm drainage systems off-site, as well as on-site drainage
systems for the areas to be occupied, shall be improved consistent with the
tentative map conditions of approval and to the satisfaction and requirements of
the Dublin Public Works Department applying City's standards and policies which
are in force and effect at the time of issuance of the permit for the proposed
improvements. Proper erosion control measures must be installed at
development sites within the City during construction, and all activities shall
adhere to Best Management Practices.
(v) Other Utilities (e.q. gas, electricity, cable televisions,
telephone)
Construction shall be completed by phase prior to issuance of the
first Certificate of Occupancy for any building within that specific phase of
occupancy for the Project.
Subsection b. Miscellaneous
(i) Completion May Be Deferred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Engineer may, in his or her
sole discretion and upon receipt of documentation in a form satisfactory to the
City Engineer that assures completion, allow Developer to defer completion of
discrete portions of any public improvements for the Project if the City Engineer
determines that to do so would not jeopardize the public health, safety or welfare.
Subparagraph 5.3.3 -- Phasing, Timing
(i) City and Developer expressly agree that there is no
requirement that Developer initiate or complete development of the Projector
any particular phase of the Project within any particular period of time, and City
shall not impose such a requirement on any Project Approval. The parties
acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which
Dublin/Lin Family Development Agreement Page 2 of 8

aye 32
or the order in which phases will be developed. Such decisions depend upon
numerous factors which are not within the control of Developer, such as market
orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other similar factors.
(ii) In light of the foregoing and except as set forth in
subsection (iii) below, the parties agree that Developer shall be able to develop in
accordance with Developer's own time schedule as such schedule may exist
from time to time, provided that such schedule is consistent with the Project
Approvals,and Developer shall determine which part of the Project Site to
develop first, and at Developer's chosen schedule. In particular, and not in
limitation of any of the foregoing, since the California Supreme Court held in
Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the
failure of the parties therein to consider and expressly provide for the timing of
development resulted in alater-adopted initiative restricting the timing of
development to prevail over such parties' agreement, it is the parties' desire to
avoid that result by acknowledging that Developer shall have the right to develop
the Project in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems
appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment.
(iii) Nothing in this Agreement shall exempt Developer from
completing work required by a subdivision improvement agreement, road
improvement agreement or similar agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof.
Subparagraph 5.3.4 -- Financing Plan
Developer will install all improvements necessary for the Project at its own
cost (subject to credits for any improvements which qualify for credits as provided
in Subparagraph 5.3.6 below).
Other infrastructure necessary to provide sewer, potable water, and
recycled water services to the Project will be made available by the Dublin San
Ramon Services District. Developer will enter into an "Area Wide Facilities
Agreement" with the Dublin San Ramon Services District to pay for the cost of
extending such services to the Project. Such services shall be provided as set
forth in Subparagraph 5.3.2(a)(ii) and (iii) above.
Subparagraph 5.3.5 -- Fees, Dedications

Project Overview
Wallis Ranch primarily is a residential project. It was designed with a significant effort to preserve and
utilize the natural environment, influenced by the natural landscapes of Tassajara Creek and the hillside
grassland slopes and corridors. Specifically, the Project is designed to provide a mix of housing types
while connecting to the natural environment at different scales by orienting units and views towards the
open space, and incorporating trail access into these spaces. In addition to the residential uses, other
approved uses include: a neighborhood park, private recreation areas, semi-public space, an open space
corridor/multi-use trail system, habitat preservation, stormwater detention basin, public improvements,
and associated public right-of--way.
The approved land use/Planned Development zoning is shown below:
~'~ Acreage figure includes all public improvements and public or private open space.
c2~ Acreage figure includes the Community Green adjacent to Neighborhood 5.
c3~ Acreage figure includes the detention basin adjacent to Neighborhood 4.
The Project is approved for development at a total of 935 units within six (6) neighborhoods.
In accordance with the policies of the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the lower
residential densities are designated in the steeper areas of the project site to ensure hillside, ridgeline, and
slope preservation. The higher densities are concentrated in the lower elevations towards Tassajara Creek
under a plan that preserves and maintains the natural water course and riparian environment. All of the
units within the Wallis Ranch project are proposed to be for-sale housing either as asingle-family
detached product or condominiums. No multi-family rental or apartments are proposed.

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. A Development Agreement for Wallis Ranch was not included in the items
presented to the Planning Commission or the City Council at the time of the public hearing for the
requested project approvals. Attachment 1 is a draft Ordinance approving the proposed Development
Agreement. The proposed Development Agreement (Exhibit A to Attachment 1) was negotiated by the
City Manager, drafted by the City Attorney and includes a $1,000,000 Community Benefit payment to be
paid prior to the execution of the Development Agreement. Pertinent elements of the Development
Agreement are discussed below.
The Development Agreement provides security to the developer that the City will not change its zoning
and other Laws applicable to the Project for a period of specific period of time. Typically the term is five
~ ~~ ~2
years. However, the proposed Development Agreement provides for an extended period as discus ed
below. The City also benefits from entering into the Development Agreement with the property owner.
This document is a contract that establishes obligations for meeting the goals of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and guarantees timing for construction of public infrastructure and facilities for the project
area. Additionally, it ensures that dedications of property and easements are made, project phasing is
followed, appropriate fees are paid for the development, and any additional terms of the agreement are
carried out as development proceeds.
In return, the Developer agrees to comply with the Conditions of Approval and, in some cases, make
commitments for which the City might otherwise have no authority to compel the Developers to perform.
Specifically, the Development Agreement augments the City's standard development regulations, defines
the precise financial responsibilities of the Developer, ensures timely provision of adequate public
facilities for each project, and provides terms for the Developer to advance funds for specific facilities
which have community or area-wide benefit or for reimbursement from future development, as
appropriate. Since the Development Agreement runs with the land, the rights thereunder can be assigned.
Items specific to this Development Agreement include:
• Community Benefit Payment: A community benefit payment of $1 million made on or prior to
the E ffective Date of the Development Agreement. (This provision is stated in Recital D on page
1 of the Development Agreement. The Effective Date is described in Paragraph 4.1 as the
Approval Date.)
• Extended Term
- Development Agreement: A term of fifteen (15) years for the Development Agreement
(Paragraph 4.2) in exchange for the community benefit payment of $1 million, stated above,
prior to the Effective Date. Otherwise, the term would default to five (5) years.
- Site Development Review: The effective term of the Site Development Review approved by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 07-O1 to be extended or otherwise correspond to the
term of the Development Agreement (Exhibit B, p. 6 of 8, Subparagraph 5.3.7 (i)).
• Antone School (Historic Preservation): Relocation and preservation or replacement of the old
Antone School building on Parcel 17 of Tract 7715 "Community Green" Open Space (Exhibit B,
p. 6 of 8, Subparagraph 5.3.7 (ii)).
• Affordable Housing: Satisfaction of affordable housing requirements through Affordable Unit
Credit Certificates (AUCC) available from the Fairway Ranch project which constructed 589
affordable units that can satisfy the affordable housing obligation for projects such as Wallis
Ranch.
Planning Commission Hearing
At its meeting of November 12, 2008, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and adopted
Resolution No. 08-36 recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving the
Development Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Dublin Ranch West project (PA 02-028), proposed for annexation in 2005, essentially included
similar land uses and densities analyzed and approved in the 1993 Environmental Impact Report for the
Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment for the Eastern Extended Planning Area the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and associated documents. At that time a determination was made to prepare a Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH 2003022033) in order to thoroughly and
comprehensively assess the potential for the Project to cause or contribute to significant impacts beyond
those identified in the 1993 Environmental Impact Report. The Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report was certified by the City Council on March 15, 2005 by Resolution No. 42-05.
PaQe4nf5
~ ~,~
For PA OS-OS 1 approved in 2007, a determination was made to prepare a Mitigated Negative Declaration
The primary purpose of the Mitigated Negative Declaration was to expand the scope of the Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report to include the adjacent 11.6-acre parcel within unincorporated Contra Costa
County which was not originally addressed in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. The City
Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration by Resolution No. 18-07 on February 6, 2007.
No further environmental determinations are needed to approve the proposed Development Agreement.
CONCLUSION:
The Development Agreement will implement the provisions of the Planned Development zoning for the
Wallis Ranch project (PA OS-051), the Stage 2 Development Plan, the Site Development Review, and
Conditions of Approval for Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7515 and for the six Neighborhood
Vesting Tentative Tract Maps approved as part of this project (Neighborhood 1 -Tract 7711,
Neighborhood 2 -Tract 7712, Neighborhood 3 -Tract 7713, Neighborhood 4 -Tract 7714, Neighborhood
5 -Tract 7715, and Neighborhood 6 -Tract 7716) and will extend those approvals fora 15-yeaz period
through adoption of the Ordinance approving the Development Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Open Public Hearing; 3) Take
testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close the Public Hearing and deliberate; and 5) Waive
reading and introduce the Ordinance approving the Development Agreement for PA OS-051 Wallis Ranch
(Dublin Ranch West) Chang Su-O Lin ("The Lin Family").
