development in less constrained areas and provides open space to protect
sensitive areas, as required by Sections 8.32.010.E and 8.32.010G of the
Zoning Ordinance.
2. Development under the Planned District Development Plan will be harmonious
and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area
because: 1) residential development is envisioned for the site and in
surrounding areas within the City; 2) residential development has been
approved west of the subject site (Silvera Ranch & Fallon Crossings) and north
of the project site (Moller Ranch/Casamira Valley); and 3) the majority of the
site (approximately 80%) will be maintained in a permanent conservation

ATTACHMENT 4
B. Pursuant to Section 8.120.050 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows.
1. The proposed Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for the Dublin Ranch

development has been approved west of the subject site (Silvera Ranch &
Fallon Crossings) and north of the project site (Moller Ranch/Casamira Valley);

intensity of the Planned Development Zoning District proposed because: 1) the
proposed density of the project site is compatible with the proposed General
Plan and Specific Plan amendments; 2) the proposed project will include
residential uses which are consistent with the proposed General Plan and
Specific Plan Land Use Designations for the site; 3) the Stage 1 and Stage 2

overall density of 0.13 dwelling units per acre which falls within the permitted
density range of 0.01 - 0.8 dwelling unit per acre in the proposed Estate
Residential land use category; and 4) the development area is limited to the
northwest corner of the site on less constrained portions of the property and
with limitations on the location of future grading and ground disturbance.

development of the project site; and 2) there are several residential
developments approved, under construction or under review in the vicinity.
