GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Purpose
This approval is for a Planned Development (PD) District Rezoning and minor modifications to the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan and Dublin General Plan land use diagrams for PA 96-039 Dublin Ranch Areas B -E. This
PD District Rezone, including a Land Use and Development Plan and District Planned Development Plan, is
3
consistent with the initial Planned Development (PD) District Prezone and amends the initial Prezone to
provide more detailed land use and development plan provisions. Tlie PD District Rezone allows the flexibilk"
needed to encourage innovative development while ensuring that the goals, policies and action program of the
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan are met. More partio darly, the PD District Rezone is intended
to ensure adherence to the following policies from the Dublin Genend Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan:
1. Concentrate development on less environmentally and visually sensitive or constrained portions
of the plan area and preserve significant open space a-eas and natural and topographic landscapf
features with minimum alteration of land forms.
2. Encourage innovative approaches to site planning, building design and construction to create a
range of housing types and prices, and to provide housing for all segments of the community.
3. Create an attractive, efficient and safe environment.
4. Develop an environment that encourages social interaction and the use of common open areas
for neighborhood or community activities and other amenities.
5. Create an environment that decreases dependence on -the private automobile.
B. Dublin Zoning Ordinance - Applicable Requirements
Except as specifically modified by the provisions of the PD District Rezone, all applicable and genera
requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance shall be applied to this PD District. ?"?
C. General Provisions and Development Standards

The approval of the Planned Development Rezone hicorporates this Land Use and Developmei
Plan/District Planned Development Plan, in accordance with Ordinance 4-94 of the City's
Zoning Ordinance, addressing Planned Developments.
2. NUMBER0FUNITS: The total number of dwelling units for the Dublin Ranch Areas B-E project shall
not exceed a maximum of 1,875, except as described below. The number of dwelling units and mix of
densities (e.g.: ratio of Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential) within each
neighborhood or subarea may be modified while staying within the approved density ranges. Any units
deleted from one neighborhood could be added to another r. eighborhood or subarea if such a nio
was found to be consistent with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. However, the maximum number of
units for the overall project (PA 96-039) may not be exceeded, except as follows:
1.) If the project qualifies for a density bonus pursuant to Chapter 8.16 of the Dublin Municipal
Code.
2.) If unique development concepts, project design and/or amenities justify an increase, and it is
found to be an appropriate modification, pursuant to '.11-ection 8-31.18 of Dublin Ordinance 4-94
(requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit).
The actual number of homes which are developed could also be affected by circumstances discovered a
development plans are refined (for example, an unknown landslide).
3. LAND USES: All standard City provisions for the zoning designations and land use provisions shall
apply, except those specifically superseded by the attached f:xhibits, or as modified below:
a. The "List of Permitted and Conditional Uses" for RRA s=tained in the approved PD Rezoning
shall be clarified to show that "Accessory Structures" related to Residential uses are permitted, but
all "Agricultural Uses" will be designated as Conditional Uses, and "Farm Buildings" will require a
Site Development Review approval, to be consistent with the Dublin Zoning Ordinance as amender
b. Residential uses may be considered Conditional Uses in PD Campus Office and General
Commercial subject to determination by the City Planning Commission that such development is
consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan for mixed use in these areas. Approval of the mixed
use CUP may require supplemental environmental study to ensure no additional significant
environmental impacts will occur (e.g.; traffic, noise, et(:.).
c. The approximately 13-acre area identified on the LUDP with a " * * * " and designated as
"Community Park/Medium Density Residential" may be developed for residential uses at such time
as the Dublin City Council determines that this acreage is not needed for the designated Community
Park. The location of the roadway and Open Space/strt,am corridor along the west side of the park
is subject to further review and approval by the City, and shall be determined prior to the approval
of the first tentative map for Area B.
d. Neighborhood boundaries, roadway locations, residentia unit types, and parcels may be
reconfigured based on specific development proposals, while being substantially in compliance with
this Planned Development approval.
4. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: Except as specifically modified by the Planned Development
Ordinance for PA 96-039 and all provisions of PA 94-030 (City Council Resolution 104-94) not
modified by PA 96-039, all development in Dublin Ranch Areas B-E shall be subject to the regulations
of the closest comparable zoning designation as determined by the Community Development Director
and the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
Design of residential units and/or developments within this project shall be generally consistent with the
design concept drawings and design guidelines, and development standards approved with
LUDP/DPDP. Building type, location, or configuration, lot lines, and site circulation as shown on
exhibits and described in the text of this PD are considered to be conceptual and are subject to further
refinement at the time a specific development proposal is brought forth. Architectural styles described
in the Dublin Ranch Areas B-E Design Guidelines and architectural elevations may be utilized in any
individual neighborhood. Because the conceptual design plans for Areas B-E are intended to allow
development of a variety of residential product types and various commercial uses, additional and more
detailed information, plans, and studies will be required with the Site Development Review application:
in order to address the more detailed design items which have not been defined at this stage. The
overall size, product type, architectural character, embellishments, and building materials of homes shat
be essentially of equivalent quality and design character as &-scribed in the design guidelines and
concept plans and associated exhibits. Additional standards and conditions shall apply to this
development, as listed in the CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL section below.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council hereby adopts PA 96-039 Dublin Rancl
Areas B-E PD Rezone subject to the conditions listed below:

GENERAL
The project approval for the Dublin Ranch Areas B-E PD Rezone (PA 96-039) is represented by the
Land Use and Development Plan (LUDP) and District Planned Development Plan (DPDP). These
Plans incorporate supplemental text and diagrams attached to this resolution, including conceptual
architecture, landscape and open space design guidelines, as well as specific development standards for
the various land uses. These materials along with this resolution establish the standard provisions and
conditions of approval for the project. [PL]
2. Prior to obtaining building permits, the applicant must receive Site Development Review (SDR)
approval for any development. The materials submitted for :iite Development Review shall be in
substantial conformance with this PD Rezone and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Mnor ,r
6
modifications to the PD development concept may be allowed without requiring an amended PD
Rezone approval. The Community Development Director shall determine conformance or non-
conformance and appropriate processing procedures for modifying this PD Rezone (i.e. staff approval,
Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit, or City Council approval of new PD
Rezone). Major modifications, or revisions not found to be in substantial conformance with this PD
Rezone shall require a new PD Rezone. A subsequent PD rezone may address only applicable portion;
of the area covered by this PD Rezone. [PL]
3. Except as may be specifically provided for within these General Provisions for PA 96-039, developmer
shall comply with the City of Dublin Site Development Review Standard Conditions [PL], and with the
City of Dublin Residential Security Requirements. [PO]
4. Except where specified otherwise, references in these conditions of approval to Tentative Map are
meant to refer to the initial tentative subdivision map(s) cresting individual lots, and not to the
processing of a Master Tentative Map, which, as provided far by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, is
intended for large land holdings, to create larger interim par :els intended for further subdivision at a
later date. If one or more Master Tentative Maps are proposed, any such submittal shall be
conspicuously labeled as such and shall be accompanied by a written explanation of the purpose and
operation of the proposed interim parcels. The applicability to a Master Tentative Map of the
conditions contained herein which refer to a tentative map s u fl be determined by the City at such time
as a Master Tentative Map submittal is made.
DESIGN STANDARDS:
5. In addition to the applicable standards mentioned above, the following additional standards shall apply
to development of Dublin Ranch Areas B -E:
a. Design of individual product types, lotting patterns, and circulation system are subject to further
review at the time of tentative map and Site Development Review. Changes to lotting patterns,
circulation systems, and number of units may be necessary to address new issues discovered as a
result of more detailed levels of review at the time of Site Development Review and or Tentative
Map. The actual development configuration and number of units for each neighborhood
development may vary, and shall be subject to City approval. [PL, PO, F]
b. On lots with sideyard setbacks of less than 5', special previsions of the house design shall be
required to address concerns with accessibility, privacy ?md window placement, accessory
equipment and locations for garbage cans, allowing light into side-yards, and the overall street seen
appearance and density of the neighborhood. [PL, B]
c. Some new models in single-family subdivisions shall provide single story units and/or give the
appearance of single-story elements, and every effort sh,-di be made to locate such units on corner
lots, at the ends of streets, and within long rows of houses to provide visual diversity to the street
scene. [PL]
7
d. All front yards and common areas in conventional single-f rmily residential subdivisions shall be
landscaped by the initial builder prior to issuance of occupancy. Installation of landscaping for
other residential projects shall be addressed in the Site Development Review approval for each
project. [PL]
e. Common area landscaping shall be required in all attached unit residential developments in entry
areas, common areas, and in yard areas between structures and driveways/streets. The use of
special paving materials is encouraged in private shared drive aisles or courtyard areas. [PL]
f. To avoid the appearance of a `walled community", homes should be oriented toward and take
access from collector streets where possible. Where long stretches of fences or walls will be used,
variations in materials, wall alignments, and landscaping sliall be used, and the fence or wall line
shall be aligned to allow for the creation of landscaped art as between the fence/wall and the street.
The design, location and material of fencing and retaining walls shall be consistent with the wall and
fencing plan included with the PD design guidelines and b al subject to further review at the time of
Site Development Review for the subdivision(s)[PL]
g. Fences for individual lots shall be placed at the top of slopes, unless otherwise required due to
subdivision design. Wherever possible, design of the subdivision shall ensure that lot boundary lines
are located at the top of slopes to avoid visible fence lines running down hillsides and visible interior
lot areas. The subdivision design shall also ensure adequate slope angle and area to facilitate
revegetation of slopes and to avoid large, unsightly retaining walls wherever possible. [PL, PW]
Iqu
h. In addition to the height limits listed in the matrix of development standards contained in the design
guidelines approved with this LUDP, the maximum builduig height for any part of a structure in the
Medium-High Density land use subarea shall not extend above the natural ridgeline of the
foreground low-lying hills as seen from existing scenic corridors, in compliance with the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan, Section 6.3.4, Visual Resources. [PL, B]
i. Project subareas developed with multi-family units shall provide private recreational facilities for
use by that project's residents (for example, pool and cabana club areas). Detached units at
densities higher than 10 units per acre are encouraged to provide such amenities in the project as
well. [PL]
j. In order to optimize use and provision of open space in the project, development near the
intermittent stream/open space corridor should be encouraged to orient front or side yards toward
the stream corridor. Wherever practical, backyards shall not be located adjacent to the intermittent
stream corridor[PL]
k. Buffers between incompatible uses or different product types shall be provided where necessary,
utilizing methods including but not limited to distance separation, slope breaks, and landscaping.
[PL]
140
8
-- 1. Screening measures such as perimeter landscaping and beams may be required in Higher-density
Residential areas, and in Commercial and Campus Office areas, where needed to provide a visual
buffer for parking areas. [PL]
m. Based upon the concept plans and analysis submitted with the project application, adequate space
for needed parking can be provided the Medium High, and High Density Residential areas.
However, at the time of Site Development Review, parking location, circulation, and access will
undergo more detailed review by the City staff. If size or use of proposed development changes
significantly from the concepts illustrated with this proposal, parking needs will be reassessed to
ensure adequate land area is available for the facilities and the necessary parking. [PL, PW, F]
n. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) CC&R's of one or more Dublin Ranch
homeowners associations shall be submitted with the Ter-tative Map and/or Site Development
Review application, and shall be subject to review and approval of the Community Development
Director and City Attorney prior to recordation of the Fbial Subdivision Map, or prior to Site
Development Review approval (see also Condition #16). [PL, ADM]
GRADING
6. The development is subject to applicable grading and visual impact guidelines of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, EIR, and Dublin General Plan. The approval o:PPA 96-039 includes a preliminary grading
plan which has been determined to generally comply with applicable policies of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and mitigation measures of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR.
Compliance with these policies and mitigation measures willbe required throughout the development
phases. The continued use of sensitive engineering design ar.d grading techniques, including minimizing
height of cut and fill slopes, making gradual transitions from graded areas to natural slopes, and re-
contouring graded slopes to mimic natural landforms is required. Refined grading plans for the
individual developments shall be submitted which incorporate: sensitive grading techniques in order to
achieve grading more refined than the conceptual grading plan subject to City approval, prior to
approval of any grading permit or tentative map. Grading do:ae prior to tentative map approval is at
developers risk. [PL, PW]
7. Graded slopes and slope breaks shall be recontoured to reser.able the existing natural landforms in the
immediate area, shall be revegetated, and designed to soften or naturalize the look of cut slopes.
Extensive areas of flat pad grading should be avoided. Building pads should be graded individually or
stepped wherever possible. Building design shall conform to the natural land form as much as possible.
.Grades for cut-and-fill slopes should be 3:1 or flatter, whenever possible. Grading on slopes between
development areas shall use sensitive grading techniques. Conceptual landscape plans for these
interface areas shall be submitted at the time of Site Development Review to address the special needs
of buffering and addressing visual impacts of these slope arvLs. Grading for the project shall not extend
beyond the subject development area or into Open Space areas except for remedial purposes only.
8. Prior to approval of tentative subdivision maps, a revised and more detailed grading scheme shall be
submitted to illustrate the proposed condition of slopes at all interface areas between this project and
adjacent properties, especially along the western edge of the property. This grading scheme shall
9
illustrate both the long-term developed condition, and the interim condition (prior to development
occurring on the adjacent property). Such grading schemes shall require comparison to available `%
development plans for adjacent properties. Plans shall be of adequate level of detail for a determinatior
by the City that any safety and visual concerns will be addressed. This interface grading scheme shall
include, but not be limited to the following information: grading necessary for roadways shown on the
LUDP, including grading necessary for construction of Fallon Road and for necessary roadways along
the project boundaries; grading necessary to provide useable Community Park and Neighborhood
Square sites; maximum allowable slopes for temporary graded slopes, matching daylight lines to the
existing contours; and safety and aesthetics measures to be taken in the event that construction occurs
on the subject property and not the adjacent property, or grading is begun but not completed to final
stage. The location, intensity, and timing of development adjacent to these interface areas may be
affected or delayed until the grading issues are addressed to the City's satisfaction. [PL, PW]
9. A detailed grading scheme for the extension of Fallon Road ii Area D shall be submitted for review and
approval prior approval of the tentative map and development agreement required for this project by
the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The proposed grading in ttis area shall be modified to address visual,
safety, and access concerns with the proposed 25' high fill, the proposed culvert stream crossing, and
the size and developability of the remaining parcels. (see also related condition in Public Works
Department memo attached as Exhibit B-1) [PL, PW]
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
10. The Dublin Ranch Areas B-E project proponent and the City of Dublin shall enter into a Development
Agreement prior to Tentative Map approval, which shall conl:ain, but not be limited to, provisions for
financing and timing of on and off-site infrastructure, payment of traffic, public facilities impact fees,
resolution to issues such as ownership and maintenance of open space areas, and other provisions
deemed necessary by the City to find the project consistent with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. At
some future date, the applicant shall be responsible for paying; all fees required by the Development
Agreement. [PL, ADM]
NOISE
11. A noise study shall be required with applications for the initial Tentative Maps (creating individual lots),
Site Development Review, or building permit (whichever conies first) which shall identify areas in
which residential uses will be located within a 60 dB or greater noise level contour and shall propose
attenuation of exterior noise levels to meet City standards. The noise study shall. also identify measures
to be used to control interior noise levels to acceptable limits. Noise attenuation measures may include
greater setback distances, land berms, soundwalls, build orier..tation, building construction measures or
a combination of these, and may require additional space for buffers. 'In some areas, if it is determined
1 . An example of an undesirable noise attenuation measure might be a requirement to construct a 12 foot high
soundwall for homes too close to a noise source. The potential need to require greater setbacks to minimize noise
impacts should not necessarily impact the number of units on site. The PD zoning establishes the flexibility to
cluster units at a greater density c?n some portions of the site ifnecessmy in order to leave open, "neutral zone"
areas for noise buffers. 140
10
upon refinement of development plans that the necessary noise attenuation measures are not possible or
would be undesirable based upon the proposed land use plan, greater setbacks distances may be
required and the intensity of the residential units may be affected, in order to avoid an unmitigated
significant impact. These studies and appropriate attenuation measures are required to be incorporated
into the development to demonstrate compliance with the Program EIR noise mitigation
recommendations, as well as to address new concerns if the noise environment changes or new impacts
occur. * [PL, B]
VISUAL RViPACTS/ SCENIC CORRIDOR POLICIES
12. Development in designated scenic corridor areas shall comply with the requirements of the Dublin
Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards. The conceptual ploti:ing plans/visual studies submitted with the
application for Areas B-E PD Rezone demonstrate the generE l appropriateness of land uses and
development standards included with the LUDP/DPDP. Compliance with the General Plan and
Specific Plan is contingent upon continued monitoring to address visual impacts throughout subsequent
application processing and development phases. At the time of review for individual tentative maps and
Site Development Review, the City shall determine whether additional or more refined measures are
required to address impacts upon visual resources and scenic aesthetiic resources. Methods which may
be required include, but are not limited to, use of sensitive grading techniques, sensitive siting of
development areas, and berms and landscaping for visual bufibrs. [PL]
13. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted for City review prior to approval of any tentative map, to
address appropriate landscaping for slopes in open space and other visible areas in the project. Special
attention should be paid to selecting appropriate sustainable Vegetation to recreate the scenic resource
value of the open space and hillside areas. [PL]
LANDSCAPE/OPEN SPACE/TRAILS
14. As part of Final Map approval, the dedication for ownership of the intermittent stream corridor, open
space and trail corridors shall be designated. No credit for these areas and improvements shall be given
towards parkland dedication requirements. All landscape within the open space and common areas,
including the intermittent stream corridor shall be subject to Mite Development Review approval. [P,
PL, PW]
15. The project developer(s) shall comply with the applicable Open Space Policies of the General Plan and
Specific Plan and the City's Grazing Management Plan. The streamlopen space corridor improvements
shall comply with the Specific Plan requirements and shall be submitted with Tentative Map and/or Site
Development Review applications for the project, whichever is submitted first. A minimum 25 foot
building setback from the intermittent stream/open space corridors shall be maintained wherever
possible. Setbacks for this purpose shall be measured from the edge of drainage corridors as shown on
Figures 4.1, 6.2 and 7.33 of the Specific Plan. [PL]
11
16. A Community Homeowners Association shall be created for areas which contain residential
neighborhoods, and other areas with community improvements within Dublin Ranch and a Declaratic.,,
of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions ("Declaration") -vvill be prepared and recorded. The
Declaration will require that the Community Homeowners Association will manage and maintain site
improvements as established by the Development Agreement required by the EDSP, including but not
limited to: the open space, including the intermittent streanv open space corridor and trails and
foreground hill areas within Area B; community and neighborhood entries, landscaping, parkway area,
monumentation, water features, lighting, signage, walls and fences, landscaping, street trees, street
signs, walks, and street furniture. The Declaration will establish easements and other rights-of-way
necessary for the Community Association to fulfill its responsibilities. The Declaration will specify tha
as it pertains to the maintenance of site improvements described in the Development Agreement, it
cannot be amended without the consent of the City. One or more separate homeowners associations
may be needed for the individual residential areas for ownership and maintenance of private
improvements which are common to the particular residenti?d areas but which are not for the use of the
entire community. [PL, ADM]
17. In order to optimize use and provision of open space in the project, trails, pedestrian pathways, fire
access roads, bicycle lanes and access points shall be provided as illustrated on the LUDP/DPDP
recreation amenities/pedestrian circulation plan approved with this project. Convenient connections
and access points to these trails, intermittent stream corridors, open space, or other parks or circulatio:
system from individual developments shall be provided, using signage and access points in centralized
locations with visible and clear access (minimizing areas hidden by structures), so that access to trails
occurs via prominent and visible trailhead markers. Methods to provide connections which are stron,
encouraged include greenbelts, parkways, landscaped perimeter areas and common areas, openings at
ends of cul-de-sacs, and other private recreation facilities. Design of these areas is subject to the
review and approval of City Police, Fire, Parks and Community Services, Planning and Public Works
Departments, at the time of subdivision map and Site Development Review. Designs shall comply wit]
the Dublin Parks & Recreation Master Plan. [PL, PO, F, PI V, P]
