WHEREAS, the Applicant, James Tong on behalf of the Lin family, has requested that the City
file an application with the Alameda County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to
reorganize an area of approximately 157.7 acres generally located in an unincorporated area of Alameda
County bounded by Moller Ranch/Casamira Valley to the north, Silvera Ranch and Fallon Crossings to
the west and unincorporated Alameda County to the east, located east of the current City Limits, which
reorganization includes the annexation of the territory to the City of Dublin and the Dublin San Ramon
Services District (DSRSD); and
WHEREAS, the project site is located within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Dublin, the
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin Ranch North Annexation Area is within the General Plan and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan Area for which a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by the City Council by Resolution No. 51-
93 and two subsequent Addendums dated May 4, 1993 and August 22, 1994 (the "Eastern Dublin EIR"

development of the Eastern Dublin area, some of which apply to this project; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City as the Lead Agency prepared
a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Dublin Ranch North project entitled "Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration" dated October 2009 and incorporated herein by reference, and circulated it for
review; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report, dated November 10, 2009 and incorporated herein by reference,

I ATTACHMENT 2
including related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans and related applications at a noticed public
hearing on November 10, 2009, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on said Project application on
November 10, 2009.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and
made a part of this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission does hereby find that:
1. The subject property is located within the Sphere of Influence adopted by the Local
Agency Formation Commission for the City of Dublin and within the adopted Sphere
of Influence for DSRSD.
2. The proposed annexation of approximately 157.7 acres to the City and DSRSD will be
a logical extension of the City of Dublin and the DSRSD boundaries.
3. The City of Dublin and DSRSD can provide high quality and efficient services to the
site, and development of the sites has been planned for since 1993 when the Eastern
Dublin General Plan Amendment was adopted for the Eastern Extended Planning Area
by the City Council.
4. The proposed reorganization is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan which are comprehensive long range planning documents which
planned for the urbanization of the Eastern Dublin Extended Planning Area over a 20-
30 year horizon and proposed a change in the largely vacant agricultural areas to an
urban community. The annexation of the Dublin Ranch North property will extend the
existing City Limits to the existing Sphere of Influence line and the annexation is a
logical extension of the City.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission recommends that
the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing Staff to file an application with LAFCo pursuant to
Government Code Section 56654 regarding Annexation consisting of reorganizing approximately 157.7
acres of unincorporated territory to the City of Dublin and the Dublin San Ramon Services District.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of November 2009.
