1. The Sprin~eld Montessori Planned Development Zoning, including a Stage 2 Development
Plan, meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 because: it provides a comprehensive
development plan that is tailored to the Public/Semi-Public land use proposed on the Project
Site and creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of
the layout and design, which is adjacent to a middle school and single-family residential.
2. The PD rezoning with Stage 2 Development Plan for Sprin~eld Montessori will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area
in that.• 1) the land uses and site plan establish aPublic/Semi-Public development; 2) the
proposed project is consistent with the Public/Semi-Public use envisioned in the General Plan,
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the Stage 1 Development Plan; 3) the Project Site has been
designed to reduce impacts on the adjacent residential uses and to be compatible with the
residential developments and school in the vicinity; 4) the Project Site includes attractive
landscaping and site elements including landscaping, street trees and light fixtures to create an
attractive landscape palette for the Site, and will be consistent with the landscaping and site
elements in Dublin Ranch; and 5) the Project has been attractively designed and is compatible
