COMMUNITY DESIGN & SUSTAINABILITY ELEMENT I CITY OF DUBLIN ~
10.6 Sense of Arrival ~
Dublin has several entrances into the City along regional corridors at or near the City limit. ~
These entrances have been classified as gateways. Gateways may include special signage
and landscaping to highlight transitions into the City, and in some instances are envisioned to
function as nodes at major intersections with special architectural features on adjacent buildings ~
and/or with public spaces incorporated into the design.
As shown in Figure 10-2, the Community Design and Sustainability Element identifies the ~
following 14 Dublin gateways:
1. Schaefer Ranch Road at Dublin Boulevard 8. Dougherty Road at Dublin Boulevard ~
2. San Ramon Road at Dublin Boulevard 9. East Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station
3. West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station 10. Hacienda Drive at Dublin Boulevard ~
4. I-680 Southbound off ramp 11. Tassajara Road at Dublin Boulevard
5. San Ramon Road at northern entry to City 12. Tassajara Road at northern entry to City ~
6. Village Parkway at northern entry to City 13. Fallon Road at Dublin Boulevard
7. Dougherty Road at northern entry to City 14. Dublin Boulevard at eastern entry to City ~

~ COMMUNITY DESIGN 8 SUSTAINABILITY ELEMENT I CITY OF DUBLIN
~ Just as regional corridors have an impact on creating a positive regional identity for Dublin,
gateways and entries have an impact on creating inviting entrances and a sense of arrival
, into the City.
10.6.1 Intent
' The City wants to create inviting entrances at gateways that reflect the character of Dublin and
welcome residents and visitors. These gateways help define the edge of Dublin and will further
create nodes near the City's edge.
' 10.6.2 Goal
' Create a Sense of Arrival at gateways to the City.
10.6.3 Policies
, A. Mark gateways with City identification (i.e. signage) and include enhanced landscaping
and street improvements to highlight Dublin's identity, consistent with the City's
Streetscape Master Plan, where feasible (reference: Streetscape MasterPlan).

' B. Incorporate dramatic and imaginative
landscaping, public art, water features, or
' other design features when reconstructing
streets and/or sidewalks at key gateways
into the City, where feasible (reference:
~ Public Art Master Plan).

10.6.4 Implementation Measures ~
A. Implement the Streetscape Master Plan.
B. Review development adjacent to gateways through the Planned Development Regulations ~
and the Site Development Review Permit process.
10.7 Design of the Built Form ~
Dublin is made up of a variety of villages, residential neighborhoods, and other commercial and ~
industrial areas, each with their own unique features and development patterns. Each area
functions differently from other areas - largely based on location (i.e. proximity to freeways or
hilisides) and use (i.e. residential or commercial) - but all have common elements that make
them distinct to the City. The design of the built form has a variety of categories (including Site ~
and Building Design, Landscaping and Natural Features, Gathering and Open Space Areas,
Signage, Lighting, and Art, Parking and Circulation, and Villages) which apply to the following
land uses: ~
Residential
Dublin has a variety of singie and multi-family residential neighborhoods with unique design ~
features and building types. These neighborhoods are generally developed around a central
feature such as a school or park. Residential neighborhoods in the Primary and Western
Extended Planning Areas consist predominately of established neighborhoods with single- ~
family homes. The residential neighborhoods in the Eastern Extended Planning Area generally
contain higher density development near Dublin Boulevard and lower density (single-family)
development along the hillsides to the north and east. ~
