PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Dublin Ranch North Annexation Area
(previously referred to as the Redgewick
property) consists of 2 parcels, which
includes a 157.2 acre parcel owned by the
Lin Family and a 0.5 acre parcel owned by
the Dublin San Ramon Services District
(DSRSD).
The project area is located within the
unincorporated area of Alameda County
within the City's Sphere of Influence
(SOI) near the northeasterly City Limits.
The Dublin Ranch North Annexation Area
includes the last two remaining parcels in
eastern Dublin that are within the City's
Sphere of Influence but not within the
City Limits.

The Dublin Ranch North Annexation Area
is within the City of Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The City of Dublin
General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan anticipated future development of the site with up to
68 dwelling units.
The Applicant is proposing development on the Lin parcel (157.2 acres) within the Dublin Ranch North
Annexation Area. The development would include 4 single-family custom home lots and a conservation
easement for the protection of wildlife. The Applicant is proposing to cluster development of 4 dwelling
units on approximately 30.4 acres in northwestern portion of the project site, which results in the
reduction of 64 dwelling units on the site. The proposed lots range in size from 4.5 acres to 12.9 acres.
These lots are designed to be estate lots designed to provide a country estate character of custom homes.
Access to the site will be provided by Cydonia Court (future planned street). The project area is shown in
the vicinity map above.
Page 2 of 10
The remaining 126.8 acre portion of the Lin property, located to the east and south of where development
is proposed on the project site is known as the Northern Drainage Open Space and will be protected by a
conservation easement. The proposed conservation easement will be maintained in perpetuity for the
protection of wildlife. This area has been preserved and enhanced as mitigation for impacts from earlier
development associated with Dublin Ranch. The Lin parcel is currently vacant and is used for grazing
pursuant to a grazing management plan. The grazing that occurs on the future conservation easement
(126.8 acres) will continue in the future.
The 0.5 acre parcel owned by DSRSD is improved with a Zone 3 water tank and access road. No further
development is proposed on this parcel.
The Applicant requests that the City of Dublin submit an application to the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo) for annexation of the property into the City. The Applicant also requests approval
of General Plan and Specific Plan amendments to modify the existing land use designation on the site.
Additionally, the Applicant requests approval of a Planned Development Prezone with a related Stage 1
and Stage 2 Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map to create four custom residential home
sites and a conservation area. The project also includes a Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Hong Yao Lin and Hong Lien Lin.
ANALYSIS:
Staff's analysis is broken up into several sections which describe each component of the project.
Annexation
The project site is currently within an unincorporated portion of Alameda County and within the City's
and Dublin San Ramon Services District's (DSRSD) Sphere of Influence. Although currently outside the
City Limits, the City has planned for the eventual annexation of this area through the General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. In order for the project to come under the jurisdiction of the City of Dublin
and to receive urban services from DSRSD, annexation of the site to the City and to DSRSD must be
approved by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). LAFCo is a State mandated local
agency that oversees boundary changes to cities and special districts, the formation of new agencies
including incorporation of new cities and the consolidation of existing agencies. State law requires that
the City prezone the area proposed for annexation and that the prezoning must be consistent with the
approved General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
Following annexation, the City will have jurisdiction and authority over plan approvals and the project
will be serviced by the City and DSRSD, which serves that portion of the City with water and sewer
facilities. The application for annexation (or reorganization, as referenced by LAFCo) includes a list of
specific requirements with the most significant being: 1) prezoning by the City; and 2) a municipal
services plan. The adopted prezoning must be consistent with the City's General Plan. The Applicant's
request includes a General Plan Amendment and Planned Development Rezone with a related Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Development Plan. These requests are consistent with each other and further discussed below.
The current action before the Planning Commission is to consider recommending that the City Council
adopt a Resolution authorizing Staff to initiate an application to LAFCo to annex the 157.7 acre project
area to the City of Dublin and DSRSD. The proposed annexations are consistent with the City's planning
efforts and would provide for the logical and orderly extension of urban services to the eastern portion of
Dublin.
A Resolution recommending that the City Council direct Staff to file an application with LAFCo to annex
the properties is included as Attachment 2.

Amendments to the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Residential density in the vicinity of the proposed development varies. Wallis Ranch (Dublin Ranch West)
located northwest of the Dublin Ranch North Annexation Area property has land use designations of
Single Family Residential (0.9-6.0 dwelling units/acre), Medium Density Residential (6.1-14.0 dwelling
units/acre) and Medium High Residential (14.1-25.0 dwelling units/acre). The Fallon Crossing
development located west of the property has land use designations of Single Family Residential and
Open Space. The Silvera Ranch development also located west of the project site has land use
designations of Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Medium High Density Residential
and Rural Residential. Casamira Valley located north of the project site has land use designations of
Medium Density Residential, Open Space and Rural Residential. Alameda County properties with A
(Agricultural) zoning are located east of the project site.

The Applicant is requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Amendment to modify the land use designations and reduce the development potential for the project site.
The current land use designations of the project site include Low Density Residential (0.0 - 6.0 dwelling
units per acre) and Rural Residential/Agricultural (1 unit per 100 Gross Residential acres). Please refer to
Figure 2 above for the location of existing land use designations. It was assumed in the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan that 67 low density dwelling units and 1 rural residential dwelling unit would be constructed
on the Dublin Ranch North site.
The Applicant proposes to change the land use designations to Estate Residential (0.01 - 0.8 dwelling
units per acre) and Open Space and would therefore reduce the overall density on the site and lower the
permitted number of dwelling units. Please refer to Figure 3 above for location of proposed land use
designations. The proposed Estate Residential Land Use designation would permit up to 24 dwelling
units. The Applicant proposes to limit development to 4 dwelling units as discussed in the Planned
Development Prezoning and Vesting Tentative Map below. Please refer to Table 1 below for a
comparison of the existing and proposed land uses.

*According the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specitic Flan, the project site is iou acres. ims numoer represems it
boundary that was not surveyed. The project site is actually 157.7 acres, as determined by a boundary survey that was
conducted by the Applicant.
The project site is located in the General Plan Eastern Extended Planning Area and the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, which do not have an Estate Residential Land Use designation. The Applicant is proposing
to add the Estate Residential land use designation to the General Plan Eastern Extended Planning Area
and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Estate Residential Land Use category is a designation in the
City of Dublin's General Plan for the Western Extended Planning Area. The Estate Residential Land Use
designation is as follows: typical ranchettes and estate homes within this density range. Assumed
household size is 3.2 persons per unit.
The request includes amendments to various figures, texts and tables in the General Plan and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan to ensure consistency throughout the documents. Please refer to Exhibit A of
Attachment 3 for the proposed amendments to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
Table 2.1 of the General Plan in addition to Table 4. 1, Table 4.10 and Appendix 3 were amended as
follows:
0 30.4 acres and 4 units of Estate Residential was added;
0 127.3 acres to Open Space was added;
0 16.8 acres and 3 units were removed from Single Family; and
o 143.2 acres and 1 unit were removed from Rural Residential/Agricultural.
Table 4.2 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was amended as follows:
o 4 units of Estate Residential was added;
0 3 units were removed from Single Family; and
0 1 unit was removed from Rural Residential/Agricultural.
Appendix 4 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was amended as follows:
o Owner name changed from Redgewick to Lin;
o 30.4 acres and 4 units of Estate Residential added;
0 126.8 acres of Open Space added;
o Single Family Residential and Rural Residential/Agricultural were removed;
o DSRSD was added to the owner list;
o 0.5 acres of Open Space was added (DSRSD parcel).

A Resolution recommending the City Council approve a General Plan Amendment and an Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan Amendment for the Dublin Ranch North project is included as Attachment 3.
Planned Development Prezoning/Stage I Development Plan & Stage 2 Development Plan:
The existing zoning (Alameda County) of the project site is Agricultural. The Applicant is requesting a
Planned Development Prezone with a related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for the entire 157.7
acre site. Among other things, the Stagel and Stage 2 Development Plan establishes the site area,
conceptual site plan, proposed density, maximum number of dwelling units, development standards, such
as lot coverage, building height and setback requirements, design principles, landscaping requirements,
fence and wall standards and project entry and streetscape standards to ensure a cohesive and attractive
development.
The proposed PD - Stage 1 Development Plan will serve as the prezoning prerequisite for annexation. Upon
Annexation, the PD - Stage 1 Development Plan will become City Zoning. The proposed Development
Plan is consistent with the proposed amendments to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (as
discussed in the section above).
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan submitted for this Project indicates that there will be a
maximum of 4 residential dwelling units on the project site. This number is within the density of the
proposed General Plan and Specific Plan Land Use designations of Estate Residential and Open Space.
Lot sizes will vary on the site depending on the location of the lot. The smallest lot will be 4.5 acres and
the largest lot will be 12.9 acres. The four estate lots are designed to provide a country estate character of
homes. Designated building envelopes for the primary residence are established on all four lots as shown
on the Stage 2 Development Plan to limit the impact of development on the hillside. Approximately 10
acres of the 157.7 acre project site will be disturbed by grading. This includes approximately 7 acres to
create the access road and the building pads and an additional 3 acres for remedial grading as
recommended by the geotechnical engineer.
The majority of the site is designated as open space (126.8 acres) and will be a permanently managed
environmental conservation area. These lands will be placed in a conservation easement and will be
managed consistent with a Mitigation Monitoring Plan approved by the resource agencies. The Applicant
has worked with these resource agencies to gain the Agencies' approval for the creation and the long term
management of this conservation area. Maintenance of these managed environmental areas is privately
funded by a land trust. These lands have been designated as a mitigation area for development impacts on
environmental resources from other areas of Dublin Ranch. This area will provide permanent habitat
and/or nesting sites for Red Legged Frogs, California Tiger Salamanders and Golden Eagles. Grazing
currently occurs on this conservation land pursuant to a grazing management plan and will continue in the
future.
As part of the application, the Applicant is proposing Land Use and Design Standards. The Dublin Ranch
North Annexation Area Land Use and Design Standards are designed to provide guidance for the future
homebuilder in the construction of the homes. The intent of the design guidelines are to preserve the rural
character of the project site while allowing for creativity and quality design. The Project has been
designed to be a small community that conforms to the existing site and the surrounding area. The design
standards include landscaping requirements, fence and wall standards, project entry and streetscape
standards to ensure a cohesive and attractive development. The design standards are included in the Land
Use and Design Standards Section of Attachment 7.
The Development Plan provides for the ability of the Dublin Ranch North development to be a gated
community. Pursuant to Chapter 8.40 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, the gate would be permitted
Page 6 of 10
through Site Development Review. Additionally, the Development Plan provides for a variety of fences
and walls, which include privacy fence, view fence, rail fence and agricultural fence (barbed wire). The
City Council Ordinance approving a Planned Development Rezone with a related Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan (Exhibit A of Attachment 4) contains various requirements and standards on fences
and walls.
A Resolution recommending the City Council approve a Planned Development (PD) Prezone with a
related Stage 1 Development Plan and Stage 2 Development Plan for the Dublin Ranch North project is
included as Attachment 4.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 8016
The Project includes a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (Exhibit A of Attachment 5). The Applicant proposes
to subdivide the 157.2 acre Lin parcel (does not include the 0.5 acre DSRSD parcel) into 5 lots. Lots 1 -
4, which total 30.4 acres, are located in the northwestern portion of the project site and they comprise the
portion of the project site where development will occur. The lot sizes for these lots range from 4.5 acres
to 12.9 acres. Lot 5, which is 126.8 acres, will be placed in a permanent conservation easement for the
protection of wildlife. The 0.5 acre DSRSD property is already a legal parcel and is not included as part of
the Vesting Tentative Map.
Access to the site will be provided from the Silvera Ranch Phase 4 development by way of Cydonia Court
(planned future street). Silvera Ranch has access from both Fallon Road and Tassajara Road. Cydonia
Court is an eastward bearing cul-de-sac that provides access and utilities to the project area. From this cul-
de-sac, a single private driveway will serve the four Dublin Ranch North Annexation Area lots.
An on-site bioswale will collect stormwater run-off from the access road and upper slopes and direct
flows to the existing storm drain line in the Silvera Ranch development. The increase in run-off can be
accommodated by the Silvera Ranch storm drain lines. The actual size and location of the proposed storm
drain facilities will be determined with the improvement plans approval during the Final Map approval
process. Each development lot will be expected to drain to the on-site bioswale, as grades permit.
Construction of this Project will depend on market demand, the completion of Cydonia Court (from
Silvera Ranch - Phase 4) and utilities from adjacent properties. The proposed Project would create 4
estate lots, which may be bought and developed individually as custom homes. Each single-family
residence will require a Site Development Review Permit. During the Site Development Review process,
the proposed residences will be evaluated to ensure that they meet the intent of the Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plans.
Development Agreement
Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) require a Development Agreement between the
City and the Developer. 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 issuance of building permits for development of the
property.
Staff has worked with the Applicant to prepare a draft Development Agreement. The proposed
Development Agreement is between the City of Dublin and Hong Yao Lin and Hong Lien Lin. The
proposed Development Agreement provides security to the developer that the City will not change the
zoning and other laws applicable to the Project for a period of five years. The Development Agreement
augments the City's standard development regulations, defines financial responsibilities of the developer
Page 7 of 10
and provides terms for the developer to advance funds for specific facilities which have a community or
area-wide benefit or for reimbursement from future development, as appropriate. The proposed
Development Agreement is included as Exhibit B to Attachment 6.
Development Agreements are approved by an Ordinance of the City Council upon recommendation by the
Planning Commission. A Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the Development
Agreement is included as Attachment 6, with the draft City Council Ordinance attached as Exhibit A.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On May 10, 1993, the Dublin City Council adopted Resolution No. 51-93, certifying an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
(Eastern Dublin EIR, SCH #91103064). The certified EIR consisted of a Draft EIR and Responses to
Comments bound volumes, as well as an Addendum dated May 4, 1993, assessing a reduced development
alternative. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 53-93 approving a General Plan Amendment and a
Specific Plan for the reduced area alternative on May 10, 1993. On August 22, 1994, the City Council
adopted a second Addendum updating wastewater disposal plans for Eastern Dublin. For identified
impacts that could not be mitigated to a less than significant level, the City Council adopted a Statement
of Overriding Considerations for cumulative traffic, extension of certain community facilities (natural gas,
electric and telephone service), regional air quality, noise, and other impacts.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted by the City to encourage orderly growth of the Eastern
Dublin area. Because the Eastern Dublin project proposed urbanization of the almost completely
undeveloped Eastern Dublin area, the Eastern Dublin EIR also analyzed conversion of agricultural and
open space lands to urban uses. These impacts together with visual impacts from urbanization were also
determined to be significant and unavoidable. Where the Eastern Dublin EIR identified impacts that could
be mitigated, the previously adopted mitigation measures that are applicable to this Project and Project
site continue to apply to the Dublin Ranch North project.
The Eastern Dublin EIR was a Program EIR and evaluated the potential environmental effects of
urbanizing Eastern Dublin over a 20 to 30 year period. As such, the Eastern Dublin EIR addressed the
cumulative effects of developing in agricultural and open space areas and the basic policy considerations
accompanying the change in character from undeveloped to developed lands. Since certification of the
EIR, many implementing projects along Tassajara Road such as Wallis Ranch (Dublin Ranch West),
Fallon Crossing, Vargas, and Pinn Brothers/Silvera Ranch, as well as projects elsewhere in Eastern
Dublin such as Dublin Ranch and Fallon Village have been approved, relying on the Program EIR. The
EIR evaluated development of the project site with 68 dwelling units.
For the proposed Dublin Ranch North project, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been
prepared in accordance with CEQA laws and regulations. The project assessed in this MND includes the
annexation, amendments to the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (including revised land
uses), prezoning to Planned Development (PD), with the related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan,
Development Agreement and a Vesting Tentative Map to allow the eventual development in accordance
with the approved plans.
The City, as the Lead Agency, prepared an Initial Study to determine whether there would be
environmental impacts occurring as a result of this project beyond or different from those already
addressed in the Eastern Dublin EIR. The Initial Study reviewed the proposed Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan site plan, Vesting Tentative Map and also reviewed updated biological, cultural and
geotechnical studies for the project. Based on the project description, the Initial Study determined that the
project could result in significant but mitigatable site-specific impacts.
Page 8 of 10
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the project and circulated for public review from
October 6, 2009 to November 5, 2009 (Exhibit A to Attachment 1). During the public review period, the
City did not receive any comment letters.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the draft MND as set forth in
Attachment 1 (CD).
CONCLUSION:
The proposed annexation request includes the Dublin Ranch North property. The proposed annexation is
consistent with the City's planning efforts and would provide for the logical and orderly extension of the
City.
The proposed Dublin Ranch North project includes estate housing types which will increase housing
choices in the vicinity. The project has been designed to protect the natural resources on the site and have
focused the development envelope away from the resources.
A General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment is proposed for the Dublin Ranch North
project to decrease the density on the site. The proposed amendment would change the Low Density
Residential and Rural Residential/Agricultural land use designations to Estate Residential and Open
Space. The Planned Development Zoning is consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan
Amendments and will allow a maximum of 4 dwelling units on the site. The majority of the project site,
approximately 127 acres, will be placed in a conservation easement and maintained in perpetuity. The
Vesting Tentative Map subdivides the Lin parcel into 4 residential lots for future development and an
open space conservation parcel. The proposed Development Agreement is between the City of Dublin and
Hong Yao Lin and Hong Lien Lin and it provides security to the developer that the City will not change
the zoning and other laws applicable to the Project for a period of five years
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Dublin Ranch North project. This document
includes mitigation measures to reduce environmental impacts of the projects to a less than significant
level.
