PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is the last pazcel included with the Dublin Ranch Phase I development and involves 117
detached single family homes on approximately 24.0 acres and a 0.9 acre open space/landscape parcel. At this
time the application includes only the Vesting Tentative Map (see Exhibit 1) for the project. The Site
Development Review for the project is proposed to be submitted at a later date.
BACKGROUND
This project is located within the limits of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan that was adopted by the City
of Dublin in November 1993, and established land use designations for approximately 3300 acres of land
east of the Camp Pazks military reserve. This project site was designated with the land use of "Single

Family Residential" in the Specific Plan
The project site is included in the 1,037 acres originally owned by the Jennifer Lin Family, known as the
Dublin Ranch project. Upon annexation into the City of Dublin in 1995, the Dublin Ranch project was
Prezoned with a Planned Development overlay designation. Dublin Ranch Phase I, which includes this
project as well as eight other neighborhoods (M1-M3 and L 1-LS), covers approximately 230 acres of the
Dublin Ranch project.
A Planned Development Rezone for all of Dublin Ranch Phase I was approved in Januazy of 1996, and
was the first of three Planned Development approvals that have been granted by the City for the Dublin
Ranch property. The second Planned Development approval was for the Dublin Ranch "Area A"
project, which was approved in December of 1997, and the third was for the Dublin Ranch "Areas B-E",
and was also approved in December of 1997.
The approval of the Planned Development Rezone for Phase I in 1996 included a Development Plan that
depicts the approved development concept, and establishes regulations for the use, development,
improvement, and maintenance of the property within Dublin Ranch Phase I. The approved Planned
Development (PD) Rezone and Development Plan are consistent with and reinforce City goals and
policies by providing development of housing in the appropriate density range and by reserving public
and private open space azeas, as required by the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
A Master Tentative Map (Tract 6925) for the Phase I site was approved by the Planning Commission in
January of 1998, which subdivided the azea into several large parcels, resulting in the seven
neighborhoods which were further subdivided and approved by the City in December 1998, and this
project which will be the final neighborhood. This project was not further subdivided at that time and
included in the earlier approval due to its location adjacent to the City of Pleasanton water tank site and
the developer's desire to finalize discussions with the City of Pleasanton and Dublin San Ramon Services
District concerning the site before it was further subdivided into individual lots. A Development
Agreement and CC&R's for the Dublin Ranch Phase I project were both approved in May 1999 and also
include this project.
Approval of the current project proposal, Vesting Tentative Map for Tract 6961-Neighborhood L6, will
conclude the Planning Commission actions necessary to implement the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for
Dublin Ranch Phase I.
PROJECT ANALYSIS
The project site is bounded on its west side and north side by an open space parcel which separates it from
Dublin Ranch Tract 6962-Neighborhood M1. This open space parcel was created with the Master Tract
Map for Phase I. A City of Pleasanton water tank site is also located along a portion of the westerly
boundary. The project site is bounded on the east side by a future open space/stream corridor and also
Dublin Ranch Tract 6956-Neighborhood L1, and on the south side by North Dublin Ranch Drive.
The site topography consists mainly of open grassland. A ridgeline running pazallel to Tassajara Road
separates this neighborhood from the medium density land use areas of the Phase I development located to
the west. This project is proposed in the low flatlands just beyond the ridgeline. This project will become
a part of the six Dublin Ranch Phase Ilow-density neighborhoods (L-1 through L-6), along with the
previously approved elementary school and park sites, and additional open space aeeas.
Site Development Review approval is not requested at this time, however the subdivision has been
designed for conventional single-family homes. The lot sizes generally range between 6,000 square feet
and 12,000 square feet with the average being 7,050 square feet. This is consistent with the previous
Master Tentative Map approval. The approval of the tentative map for this project, without approved
home designs, is not in conflict with the purpose of the Site Development Review process, in that the
orderly, attractive, and harmonious development of the site has been analyzed with the lot and street
layout, and will be further analyzed at the time that an application is made for Site Development Review
of homes.
Phasing
The homes in this neighborhood may be constructed in phases. As required by the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, specific infrastructure requirements for the project will be determined with preparation of
improvement plans. Additional information regazding infrastructure sequencing has already been
addressed in the Development Agreement approved for the Dublin Ranch Phase I project. The proposed
Condition of Approval #55 requires that all physical improvements within each phase be completed prior
to occupancy of units within that phase. This will ensure that homeowners have adequate vehicular
access and that no units are occupied until the adjoining azea is finished, safe, provided with all
reasonably expected services and amenities, and completely sepazated from continuing construction
activity.
Dublin Ranch Design Theme
This project will incorporate key elements of the Dublin Ranch design theme that have been used in the
other Dublin Ranch Phase I neighborhoods, such as the stone pilasters with the Dublin Ranch logo
plaques and open rail fences which have been repeated throughout the project. Landscaped parkways will
be provided in this project between the sidewalks and the roadways similar to the rest of the Phase I
projects, with a double row of shade trees planted on each side of the sidewalk along collector streets, to
provide a pedestrian friendly environment and sense of community. This neighborhood will create its
own identity through the use of a single species of street tree unique to this project.
Landscaping adjacent to rail fences abutting open space will act as a transition to the natural landscape
and intermittent stream corridors. Native oak trees have been incorporated into the Dublin Ranch plant
palette to reflect the historical landscape of the azea. Open grasslands will also be maintained azound the
project to help preserve some of the natural scenery.
Pedestrian paths within the surrounding stream corridors and greenbelts will promote views of the open
space areas and stream corridors, advance the use of site amenities by its residents, and encourage
appreciation of the site's natural resources. The designated trails, pazkways, circulation and recreation
facilities aze consistent with the goals of the General Plan and Specific Plan, by providing open space for
outdoor recreation, as well as for resource preservation.
Maintenance of Open Space/Landscaping
The City generally is responsible for maintenance of landscaping within the street right of way that it
accepts for dedication. However, to provide a consistent landscape theme between the interior of the
project and the arterial streets, a variation of the typical maintenance policy is proposed. This is the same
policy that was approved with the other Phase I neighborhoods. The Community Homeowners
Association that was already created with the other neighborhoods will be responsible for maintaining the
open space area and all project landscaping along public streets proposed within this neighborhood. The
City will still maintain the public streets except for the landscaping. The maintenance requirements have
already been included in the homeowner CC&R's approved for the Phase I project, and require that the
homeowners association maintain the landscaping within the project in a coordinated manner.
Structures on Lots 1,2 and 19-55 will all be within the Wildlife Management Plan area. These lots will be
required to meet special conditions for construction and landscape design as outlined in Condition of
Approva142(b).
Walls and Fences
Six foot high solid wood fences will be constructed between residential lots. Some side-yazd azeas and
exterior lot lines will have masonry perimeter walls of the same material as the exterior community walls,
to complement the project's architecture. Finally, two- and three- rail open fences have been designed to
be used within residential azeas, as well as along streets abutting open space azeas, to allow views of the
open space azeas and provide a transition between the urban and the natural landscape. Details of these
fences and walls will be submitted for review and approval of the Planning Commission along with the
Site Development Review application.
VESTING TENTATIVE MAP
Circulation is provided to this neighborhood primazily by the public collector street North Dublin Ranch
Drive, which loops through the center of the Dublin Ranch Phase I site and connects the site to Tassajaza
Road. Round Hill Drive is the central street in this project site and is accessed from North Dublin Ranch
Drive.
Improvements proposed with the Vesting Tentative Map, along with the Conditions of Approval, provide
for the site flood control, street improvements and utilities. Street improvements, an open
space/landscape parcel and right-of--way dedications are shown in detail on the Vesting Tentative Map
(Exhibit 1). 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 Eastern Extended Planning Area and the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan azea, which was the subject of an Environmental Impact Report, certified by the City of
Dublin in 1993 (see Background Attachment). The General Plan/Specific Plan EIR is a program EIR,
which analyzed the environmental issues related to the land use locations, development plans & policies
contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The EIR also 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 that were not able to be mitigated. Upon certification of the EIR, the
City adopted a statement of overriding considerations for several impacts, some of which relate to this
project (e.g., visual impacts). The City also adopted a mitigation monitoring program, which included
4
several 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. The timing of these mitigation measures is indicated in
the City's EIR mitigation monitoring matrix, attached as a Background Attachment. Supplemental
environmental studies addressing new environmental effects at the project level have also been prepazed.
In each case, studies have determined that the project will not have any additional significant
environmental impacts which were not evaluated in the earlier EIR. Recommendations from the
supplemental studies are included in the project description and/or aze reflected in the conditions of
approval. Further discussion of the pertinent issues appeazs below.
Traffic
A traffic study was previously conducted for this project along with the other neighborhoods which make
up Dublin Ranch Phase I. 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 most recent traffic study identified
improvements associated with this neighborhood, which have been made conditions of the project and are
within the scope of the mitigations identified in the EIR.
Visual
A supplemental visual analysis of this project was conducted along with the rest of Dublin Ranch Phase I
at aproject-specific level to determine whether the project design complies with the mitigation measures
of the EIR and whether any additional visual impacts or mitigation measures would be required. The
study also evaluated the project design in terms of the Specific Plan visual policies. Several design
guidelines and development standazds have been proposed as part of the project, and made conditions of
approval. No additional significant impacts beyond those addressed in the Program EIR were identified
for the project.
A copy of the EIR and the supplemental environrental studies regazding 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, it has been determined that the proposed project will not have any new significant
effects on the environment which have not been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards. To this extent, the project is within the scope of the Program EIR. All mitigations
from the Program EIR and all recommendations from the supplemental studies aze included in the project
description and/or conditions of approval, and no new Mitigation Measures are necessary. Therefore, the
attached draft Planning Commission Resolution includes appropriate findings.
CONCLUSION
This application has been reviewed by the applicable City Departments and agencies, and their comments
have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. The proposed project is consistent with the
purpose, intent, and requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance, the approved PD Rezone and
Development Plan, the Dublin General Plan, and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and completes several
of the actions necessary to implement the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the proposed Vesting Tentative Map through
adoption of the attached Resolution.
