applications for General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan amendments to create a new
"flex" designation of Mixed Use 2/Campus Office, to create a new Grafton Plaza subarea in the
Specific Plan, and to slightly expand the mixed uses to include shopkeeper, live/work and other
uses; and a PD-Planned Development rezoning and related Stage 1 Development Plan to allow
future development under either the Campus Office or residential mixed use options. The

Development Plan provided for General Commercial and Campus Office uses in Area H. The
Project site occupies the middle third of the approximately 71 acre Area H and was designated
