SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Introduction
The following findings relate directly to the specific c uestions listed under the
Written Statement section of the City's application submittal requirements for Site
Development Review (SDR). This SDR covers the architectural, streetscape,
and landscape for those elements within Parcels 1 and 4 of the project, which
includes Majors A-D and Shops 5-10. A PlannEd Development Rezone
amendment and Development Agreement have been submitted concurrently with
this application. For additional information on the Project Site described in the
following narrative, refer to the SDR drawing red actions in this submittal
package.
Site Development Review Findings Statement
A. What type of business, activity or use are you proposing?
On November 18, 1997, the City of Dublin approved a Planned
Development Rezone for the Dublin Ranch Areas B-E project, which
included the General Commercial designation on the proposed Project
Site.
Fallon Gateway proposes approximately 379,055 total square feet of retail
development on approximately 38.5 gross acres (33.9 net acres) for a
FAR of approximately 0.26. The Project area covered under this SDR is
approximately 311,555 square feet of retail development on approximately
28.7 gross acres (27 net acres). While the future users of the Project are
unknown, the proposed project includes a mix of retail and restaurant uses
with outdoor dining opportunities. Additional project details are addressed
under Item E.
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 1
FALLON GATEWAY -APRIL 28, 2009
B. How many employees will you have or propose to have?
Employee count will vary from store to store dEpending on sales volume
and business type. A definitive number of employees for the retail and
restaurant uses within the Project Site cannot be determined at this time.
C. What are the proposed hours and days of operation?
The hours and days of operation for retail usos within the Project Site
cannot be determined at this time. It is anticipatEd that operations of these
uses will be comparable to other retail uses in Dublin Ranch and within the
City of Dublin, as well as similar types and uses.
D. Will your business, activity or use target a specific segment of the
community?
Fallon Gateway has been designed to serve the varied needs of the entire
Dublin community. Due to the location of the Project, some Tri-Valley
area attraction is anticipated. The Project will have a balanced mix of use
types to serve the population of Dublin and the Tri-Valley region.
E. In what ways will your business, activity or use benefit the
community?
Fallon Gateway will benefit the community by providing increased retail
and service opportunities within close proximity :)f residents. Additionally,
the businesses with the Fallon Gateway project :site will generate sales tax
revenue for the City of Dublin.
The development of the Project will assist in completing major circulation
routes in the vicinity of the Project site and link east Dublin to the Fallon
Road/I 580 interchange which is currently under :.onstruction.
All infrastructure required for this development and all capital facility costs
will be paid for by the project proponents as development proceeds. As is
typical of development requirements in Dublin, the applicant will dedicate
land required and construct roads to serve thE! project. Along with this,
normal expenditures for City services (fire, police, recreation, general
administration, etc ) would be compensated by the development through
required fees and property tax revenues.
F. Are there any ways in which your business, activity or use may
disrupt the peace of surrounding residents or businesses?
The businesses and activities of the Project wil not disrupt the peace of
surrounding businE?sses or residents. No residential units will be located
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 2
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
immediately adjacent to the Project Site and, due to the proximity of the
Project to the freeway interchange, no traffic will be channeled into any
existing or proposed neighborhoods. Regardless, the business hours and
activities will be conscientious of the surrounding neighborhoods.
G. Are there any ways in which your business, activity or use have a
negative effect on the health or safety of persons residing or working
in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the (Public health, safety or
general welfare?
There are no planned activities or uses that will have a negative effect on
the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or which
are detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. The design
of the project and its improvements will comply with all applicable City
codes and ordinances pertaining to its design, construction and operation.
It is not anticipated that the development will create public health
problems, as no land uses or activities requiring the use or manufacturing
of toxic materials are planned to occur on the site..
H. Will your business, activity or use create any negative impacts on
property, transportation systems or existing improvements in the
neighborhood?
The proposed project will not create any negative impacts on property,
transportation systems or existing improvements in the neighborhood. The
proposed project will assist in the development of the remaining lands in
Dublin Ranch which will increase the value of the surrounding
neighborhoods. Transportation and utility systems will be improved by the
completion of vehicular and pedestrian routes, as well as infrastructure
facilities, in the vicinity of the Project site.
L Describe how the design of the project including site layout,
structures, vehicular access, circulation and parking, etc. will
provide a desirable environment for the future development.
Site Layout/Structures:
The Project is designed to create a destination commercial experience,
complete with a variety of small shops and larger retailers. The small
shop buildings have been sited to create two separate, but related, retail
villages to provide a pedestrian scaled environment and remove through
traffic, while the larger retailers have been IocatEd for greater visibility and
traffic access from both Fallon Road and Dubl n Blvd. Together, these
retail components will create a unified, attractive, and high quality
presence in the City. While the design of thE+ entire project has been
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 3
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
shown for reference, this SDR application applies only to the portions
identified as Majors A (Target)-D and Shops 5-11).
While a cohesive project theme is proposed, buildings and landscape
have been designed to provide diversity in massing, colors, and materials.
Multiple plazas and other gathering spots are incorporated to encourage
lounging and outdoor dining.
Pedestrian/Vehicular Circulation:
The Project is designed to provide efficient and convenient vehicular
access into and through the site, while also encouraging and protecting
pedestrian routes. Sidewalks and multi-use paths for pedestrians and
bicyclists are present on Dublin Blvd and Fallon Road. Bike and
pedestrian routes connect from these streets into the Project, providing
safe and convenient routes for those desiring to walk or ride to the Project
from offsite. Within the project, sidewalks and pedestrian paseos within
the parking lots link the numerous buildings and retail villages together for
connectivity and safety.
The pattern of traffic circulation achieves a hierarchy of functions. Two
primary entries into the Project are provided from Fallon Road and Dublin
Blvd, while a secondary entry is located on Dublin Blvd to primarily provide
for truck traffic to access the larger retailers fo, loading. An interior loop
provides the major circulation route through the Project, allowing drivers to
conveniently access their destination from multiple points of access and
allowing interior retail villages and parking lots to have lower volumes of
internal traffic.
Parking:
Surface parking lots are provided for the convenience of the shoppers.
Parking lots are broken into smaller components in size, in addition to
being planted with trees to provide stalls within proximity of each element
of the Project, thus reducing the perceived scale of the parking lots.
Overall, 1,518 parking spaces are provided which is 227 greater than that
required for the overall project at buildout as currently proposed in this
application. These additional spaces as provided will allow for up to
41,200 square feet of future restaurant uses, plus meet minimum retail
tenant stall requirements. Please refer to the following table depicting the
required and provided spaces for the Project.

SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 5
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
J. Is the site physically suitable for the type and intensity of
development proposed?
The Project Site is physically suitable for the type of commercial
development proposed. The site is generally level and has been filled to
raise the site. No trees exist on the property and the ground cover
consists of predominantly non-native grasses. This Project's proposed
land use plan is consistent with the land use designation found in the
Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. No major faults
are known to exist under the Project Site.
Water, sewer, recycled water and joint trench infrastructure are either
currently available from utilities constructed within Dublin Blvd or are able
to be extended to the Project Site. Storm waiter runoff from roof and
ground surface areas will be collected and piped to a lineal bioswale along
the southern parking lot edge, which will provide water quality treatment.
Drainage will then be piped into the G3 channel. Additional details
regarding the proposed utility systems for this project are depicted on the
preliminary utility plan included in this submittal package.
K. Describe how the proposed development may impact views.
The site will be visible from 1-580 and Fallon Road, both of which are
designated scenic corridors. The Project is subject to the requirements of
the Eastern Dublin Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards. It should be
noted that the views of the site from the west: will be diminished upon
development of the future Kaiser Permanente Hospital.
Because a portion of the Project Site falls within Zone 1 as defined in the
City's Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards document, approximately
50% of the Project frontage along 1-580 (extending up to 700' back from
the 1-580 right-of-way) must be left unobstrucled to allow views of the
scenic ridgelands to the north as designated in the Specific Plan. The
proposed buildings falling within the 700' scenic corridor zone (Target and
Shops 7-9) have been sited so that only app ?oximately of 42% of the
applicable frontage is encumbered by a building. This does not mean that
42% of the views to the north are obstructed as viewed from 1-580, as the
shop buildings are greatly set back from 1-58C and these buildings are
quite low, ranging between 23 and 35 feet and a tower up to 36 feet. The
remainder of the frontage viewshed contains parking lots, walkways,
bioswales, and associated landscape areas whi--h will allow views across
the site to the north. Other buildings within the Project Site are currently
proposed to be located beyond the limits of ZonE, 1.
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 6
FALLON GATEWAY. APRIL 28, 2009
Additionally, the Project falls within the western portion of Viewpoint 3 as
defined in the City's Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards document,
which is located at the Fallon Road overpass. This standard requires that
buildings may not project for more than 25% of the horizon line. Figure 8
of this document illustrates progressive building heights within the view
cone at which time a building would start impinging upon the horizon.
Within the Project site, this would range between 40 and 60 feet. Based
on the proposed heights of 23-35 feet for buildings and 36 feet for a tower,
proposed buildings heights within this view cone would not impact the
protected horizon line.
L. Describe the physical characteristics of the site including existing
slopes and topographic features.
The Project Site is generally flat, has very little variation in topography,
and gently slopes downward from the north to south. The lowest
proposed elevation within the Project Site is eat approximately 349 feet
above sea level, while the highest existing elevation is at approximately
363 feet. Drainage flows generally in a north to south direction. The site
is without any existing tree cover and various non-native grasses cover
the majority of the area. The property has been cleared and mass graded
in anticipation of development.
M. Describe the architectural design/theme of the development
including character, scale and quality of the design, and explain how
the project will relate to and be compatible with the existing site and
the character of adjacent buildings, neighborhoods and uses.
The desire to create an exciting and vital shopping, dining and personal
services commercial development drove the design concept of the Project.
Buildings are designed to activate the street with significant massing
articulation, use of elements to create human scale, wide use of windows
on the retail shops, and varied materials, colors, and patterns. The
combination of traditional farming town materials of wood, stone and brick
applied on simple shapes and forms gives the Project a modern yet lasting
feel. The modern rural architecture is further enhanced by the creation
of intimate outdoor relaxation spaces created by the simple and varied
massing and fenestration of the buildings. These concepts shall be
applied to the entire Fallon Gateway project and future phases shall
complement and contextually relate to this initial phase.
The Project is carefully designed to promote community interaction and is
complemented with simple yet effective and attractive landscape and
hardscape materials sensitive to the architecture, public safety, and the
pedestrian spaces that are created. Architecture elements are further
enhanced by the landscape features that help farther express the overall
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 7
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
site concept of pedestrian friendly buildings designed and sited to create
and encourage user interaction.
"Light tower" elements within buildings serve as landmark gateways and
focal elements not just to the Project but also sewing as an icon for Dublin
Ranch as it matures and transitions to other areas of eastern Dublin. Light
towers are glass enclosed spaces located at certain corners and terminus
points to highlight significant locations of the Project. Bold colors and
materials with varied texture differences further enhance the undulating
nature of the architecture and site design.
Smart graphics are lit panels that change amongst seasonal images of
goods and activities. LED lighting in the gateway towers projects muted
lighting that changes color in a unique and subtle way. Together, these
varied graphics and lighting techniques create unique environments,
moods and building animation.
N. Describe how the landscape features have been designed so as to
ensure visual relief and an attractive environ?nent for the public.
Fallon Gateway includes landscaping for public street parkways,
bioswales, parking lots, public and private courtyards and outdoor
facilities, walkways, project entries and open landscape areas. Dublin
Boulevard shall be landscaped similar to the existing Dublin Boulevard to
the west by the use of similar street trees in triangular spacing along with
an understory of flowering drought tolerant groundcover and low growing
grasses. Fallon Road shall continue the existing concept to the north by
the use of flowering accent trees in a triangular pattern with an understory
of flowering drought tolerant groundcover and low growing grasses.
The bioswale to the south of the project, adjacent to the Caltrans right of
way and Interstate 580, shall be planted using a unique mix of drought
tolerant grasses which provide filtering qualities, while a combination of
native California oaks, buckeye, and native shrubs shall be planted above
the swale line. The oaks are intended to screen the parking lot and
provide visual context to the surrounding rural environment. Native shrubs
and bioswale grasses are located to screen the parking lot while providing
a transition from the highway to the south to more formal plantings of the
parking lot and outdoor public spaces to the north.
The west side of the project is landscaped using a combination of upright
evergreen screen trees and large canopy shade trees to screen the rear of
Target and the other major commercial buildings Evergreen plant
material shall be proposed to screen the northernmost truck delivery dock
and parking lot as well as to soften the building edges from the public view
on Dublin Blvd. The truck delivery dock to the sc uth of the project shall be
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 8
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
screened from the highway using a combination of native and non native
upright evergreen screen trees and native California oaks. Several
varieties of native and non native California shru os shall also be proposed
in between trees and at the top of the earthen berm to provide additional
screening and contrasting color.
Parking lots, which comprise the majority of the :-,ite, are heavily
landscaped with large canopy deciduous trees p ?oviding shade in the
summer while allowing warm sunlight during the cold winter months.
Planting areas at the end of the parking rows are proposed with tall upright
flowering trees marking vehicular and pedestrian transition areas. The
understory planting within the larger landscape areas shall be a
combination of low growing easily maintained flowering groundcover and
small upright shrubs while the smaller landscape diamond planters shall
be proposed with decomposed granite requiring little to no maintenance
and limited irrigation. The understory plant material for the parking lot
landscape areas is intended to complement the architectural elements and
colors of the building elevations.
A unique combination of plant material shall be proposed for the planter
areas adjacent to the front of the major commercial buildings. Plant
material shall be mostly upright shrubs in masses with varied colors and
textures to complement the long building planes of varied material.
Narrow upright trees shall be proposed in planters and in tree grates to
frame architectural details, building edges and frame storefronts and
signage. Large plant containers located in conjunction with specific
architectural details shall be located along the storefronts and contain
trees which provide a unique contrast to the building fagade. Tall upright
trees in grates shall be located where larger expanses of building allow
and softening of the storefronts is needed.
Colored concrete with varied scoring patterns provide unique designs that
highlight various entries. Red concrete spheres are proposed in front of
Target store entries, serving as bollards and branding while additional
colored concrete spheres in various sizes shall be placed outside other
stores to provide continuity and functionality.
Primary pedestrian crossings are highlighted by the use of colored
concrete unit pavers and concrete bands. Concrete unit pavers shall
reflect colors of the architecture and are intended to guide the pedestrians
safely across intersections and through the parking lot. Two distinct
pedestrian corridors through the parking lot link tie consumer from the
stores and shops to the east to the major commE.,rcial buildings to the
west. Pedestrian corridors are highlighted by the use of varied paving
surfaces and way-finding monuments. Rows of Trees are located on each
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 9
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
side of the corridor providing shade for the pedestrian and a vertical link to
the major commercial buildings to the west.
Plazas around the various shop buildings are designed using a wide
variety of patterns that shall match the unique architecture detailing.
Colored concrete paving and colored concrete unit pavers are juxtaposed
to the building layout to provide contrast and create interesting spaces.
Varied concrete colors and textures further define outdoor dining and
shopping spaces. Trees are located in grates arid planting areas to
provide shade and softening of building edges and planes while framing
signage or architectural detailing. Street furniture is proposed to
complement the architecture and be located in areas where people
congregate, rest and relax. Waste receptacles, benches, ash urns and
decorative pottery are intended to highlight outdoor spaces and serve as
the connection throughout the Project.
A potential public art opportunity is identified norih of Shops 7 and will
serve as one of the Project's focal points. The use of varied concrete
scoring shall be proposed to highlight the plaza while large specimen trees
provide shade and contrast. Uniquely designed concrete seatwalls help
define the space and provide an opportunity for (lathering and socializing.
Seatwalls have been designed to incorporate architectural materials such
as lumasite that illuminates at night similar to the architecture treatment for
the tower elements. Seatwalls shall be vandal resistant and accessible to
all.
A second public art opportunity has been identified at the southern corner
of the Project entry from Fallon Road. A fountain has been proposed at
the plaza between the two towers using complimentary materials found on
the architecture. Street furniture including benches, waste receptacles
and pottery shall highlight the plaza and be located around the fountain
creating an outdoor gathering and socializing environment.
Primary entry monument walls are proposed on the north and south
entries to the project from Fallon Road and secondary entry monument
walls are proposed on the east and west side of to north entry to the
project at Dublin Boulevard. Primary and secondary entry walls are
comprised of material found on the adjacent architecture. Lumasite shall
be illuminated at night consistent with the lumasite on the adjacent
architecture tower elements. The metal panel shall be of the same color
found in the architecture and will be the location,-or the project signage.
Entry pedestals shall be located in the median at the entry from Fallon
Road and shall have similar materials found on the architecture. Entry
pedestals shall be constructed using lumasite material at the base and
shall be illuminated at night while a vertical metal panel provides
opportunities for way-finding or specific retail signage. Large round
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE 10
FALLON GATEWAY -APRIL 28, 2009
concrete flower bowls shall be located above the lumasite material and
shall contain appropriate accent plant material.
The planting concept for the entries is similar to much of the rest of the
project utilizing varying masses of one type of plant material
complementing the varied architectural material. Flowering trees line the
entries of the site providing varied color and texture during the seasons.
Understory plant material shall be drought tolerant using a variety of low
growing flowering groundcover and shrubs and colorful grasses. Vehicles
in the parking lot shall be screened using hedges in planter areas with low
growing flowering groundcover in the foreground.
Fallon Gateway monuments are proposed for thE' north and south side
corners of Dublin Boulevard at Fallon Road. ThE! Fallon Gateway
monuments shall utilize materials found within the project as well as
Dublin Ranch. Three walls of varying heights are proposed along with a
large specimen oak in a terraced planter area to the north with similar
shorter walls and specimen tree to the south. Lumasite shall be proposed
for one of the walls and be illuminated at night similar to the adjacent
architectural tower elements while stone veneer ;and stucco are proposed
for the others. The Fallon Gateway monuments shall announce the arrival
to the City from the east.
0. Is the proposed project located on a hazardous waste and
substances site? (A list is of these sites is available in the Planning
Department).
A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment (ESA) and Phase II
Herbicide/Pesticide Environmental Assessment of the Project Area and
surrounding Dublin Ranch lands has been conducted by Berlogar
Geotechnical Consultants (dated May 1988 and July 1996 respectively) to
determine the presence of any hazardous waste and substance sites. An
environmental records search was conducted by Berlogar Geotechnical
Consultants for Dublin Ranch-Phase I to determine if the site was included
on a list of hazardous waste and substances areas. The results of this
search indicated that no properties within a two-mile radius of the Dublin
Ranch-Phase I (which includes lands within the Project Site) are listed as
a hazardous site, hazardous material generator or transporter, or known to
have underground storage tank leaks, in addition to these studies
revealing no evidence of recognized environmental conditions, including
contamination of soils at the site, in connection with the property.
Additionally, Berlogar Geotechnical Consultants prepared a Phase 1
Environmental Site Assessment Final Draft report for the Fallon Gateway
Target property dated October 8, 2008. The report was prepared for the 11
acre Target portion of the larger Fallon Gateway parcel. Environmental Data
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . PAGE I I
FALLON GATEWAY . APRIL 28, 2009
Resources databases were obtained for the entire parcel as part of the ESA
documentation; however the site walk concentrated on the 11 acre parcel.
According to Berlogar's research and findings, there is no evidence of
recognized environmental hazard conditions in connection with the property.
Furthermore, Berlogar did not find evidence that,--urrent use of the property
or activity at neighboring properties would indicate the likelihood of
environmental impairment to the property, nor did Berlogar observe visual
evidence of hazardous-material contamination, indications of improper
hazardous material storage or disposal, or identify significant concerns
relating to Asbestos, Lead Paint, ASTs, PCBs, USTs, or Radon at the
subject property. Berlogar also determined that there is no possible
occurrence of methane or other vapors that may migrate or intrude into the
site. Berlogar Geotechnical Consultants states that no further environmental
investigation work is warranted.
