Home My WebLink About8.3 Gen Plan Amend 1,450 AcresG~~~ OF Dp~lj~ ~ ~9`~~~~2 STAFF REPORT C I T Y C L E R K `~c~~L,~ ~~ DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL File #^~~ 0~-~~ DATE: December 7, 2010 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: ~ Joni Pattillo, City Manager SUBJE : Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study for 1,450 acres located immediately east of the existing boundary of the Dublin City Limits and Sphere of Influence. Prepared By: Michael Porto, Consulting Planner EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider whether to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study for 1,450 acres located immediately east of the existing Dublin City Limits and Sphere of Influence within unincorporated Alameda County to create a new General Plan Land Use Designation and policies to guide future development of up to 1,990 residential units for active senior housing, preservation of open space, park provisions, an extension of the Development Elevation Cap, major ridgeline protections, grading, and other implementation measures. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact to the City. All costs ~ssociated with the processing of the proposed Amendment, if authorized by the City Council, would be borne by the Applicant, Pacific Union. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Receive comments from the public; and 3) Adopt a Resolutir~n approving the Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study for 1,450 acres commanly known as Doolan Canyon; OR 4) Adopt a Resolution denying the Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study for 1,450 acres commonly known as Doolan Canyon and directing Staff to begin discussions with the City of Livermore and LAFCo Staff on the future of Doolan Canyon. , ---... ubmitted By: Community Development Director Revie y: Assistant City Manager Page 1 of 4 ITEM NO. ~~~ DESCRIPTION: Background Pacific Union, on behalf of Dublin Active Investors, L.P., has requested that the City Council consider initiating a General Plan Amendment Study for 1,450 acres of land east of, but directly adjacent to, the current City of Dublin Boundary and Sphere of Influence. The site is located along Doolan Canyon Road on land commonly referred to as Doolan Canyon (Attachment No. 1). In 1993, the City Council of the City of Dublin certified the Environmental Impact Report, approved the General Plan Amendment incorporating 6,920 acres and approved the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan incorporating 3,328 acres for lands in the eastern part of the City. The General Plan Amendment included 17,970 residential units and 10.5 million square feet of non- residential development. Two alternatives were presented and the City Council adopted Alternative 2 with modifications. The modification consisted of a reduction of unit count to 14,000 units and the non-residential development potential was reduced to 9 million square feet. With respect to Doolan Canyon, Alternative 2 eliminated Doolan Canyon from the General Plan Amendment removing 2,744 acres of land and approximately 3,970 residential units. Doolan Canyon was further designated as a"Future Study Area - Agricultural." In 2000, the Eastern Dublin Property Owners (EDPO) began processing an annexation request, environmental documentation, General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for what eventually became Positano, Jordan Ranch, the Croak property and the various lands along the north side of I-580 easterly of Fallon Road. At that time, and in conjunction with the EDPO annexation and approvals, the Cities of Dublin and Livermore entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (Attachment 2) which states that Dublin would amend its General Plan to take out the "Future Study Area - Agricultural" for poolan Canyon. The approvals for this took place in June 2002. At that point, all of the infrastructure (roads, fire stations, parks, public facilities, sewer, water, and storm drains) were sized for the ultimate buildout of EDPO and did not include Doolan Canyon. Figure 1 Vicinity Map Page 2 of 4 Doolan Canyon is located in unincorporated Alameda County. The Area is currently designated RM "Resource Management" under the Alameda Country General Plan and under County Zoning the site is designated "Agricultural." ANALYSIS: The proposed Study would consider creating a new General Plan Land Use Designation and policies to guide future development of up to 1,990 residential units for active senior housing, preservation of open space, park provisions, an extension of the Development Elevation Cap, major ridgeline protections, grading, and implementation measures which may include the adoption of a new Specific Plan or an amendment to the existing Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Study would also be the basis for a future application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to include the property within the City of Dublin Sphere of Influence. ~,, ~ 1 ~~r~ - -, ~,.,~....,~s~,,., - -- ~, ~ ~.~.,,~..,~.. ~ - ~ruau.:a~u.., --_ _;, -_ ~ ~,.n~v . y.,,A _........... ar ~n.~ aw ,~ ~ F,....: txwCxx~ueT 6wCf fOyv!v.»Rq stlM ~••'r M !9+rv9s.. !W R~av~YM}rstJ ~~~ro ~.~.+....~~..,s,,..ca~rme,m..: v. . ..~.~~.. ~c~.n, r.,a~m~. ~n~.~x~~.r~~ ~~ .' q'~ *rrs+n~.±H~a ~A..+N~~»nru eea~pe~~~:a.e ~~sa~ ~_~~ QN ~` aeer~ w;az~.Rah_w+.a ~, ~. cw...wr~~+>.~ Lana Us~?

Staff has prepared finro Resolutions for City Council consideration. The first is a Resolution (Attachment 3) approving the Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study. Should the City Council choose to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study, Staff would: 1. Examine the topography and overall site constraints; Page 3 of 4 I _ General Pl~i~ Land tJses t,ener~l Plan Lai~d t~ses 2. Determine if there would be any associated environmental impacts from the land use change such as, but not limited to traffic, noise, biological, cultural, historic, or view impacts; 3. Perform any studies that may be required; 4. Determine if the density requested is appropriate for the site; and 5. Prepare an analysis for the Planning Commission and the City Council. Once the Study is complete, Staff would then bring the proposed General Plan Amendment action to the Planning Commission for their recommendation to City Council. The City Council would then take action on the General Plan Amendment. It is anticipated that the Study could be completed by early 2012. As noted above in the "Background" section, the future of Doolan Canyon has been discussed for many years. Staff is proposing the option of denying the initiation of the Study and working with the City of Livermore and LAFCo to determine the ultimate future of Doolan Canyon. Therefore, the second Resolution (Attachment 4) provided for City Council consideration denies the Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study and directs Staff to begin meetings with the City of Livermore and LAFCo on the ultimate future of Doolan Canyon. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Public noticing is not required to review a request to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study. Although not required, it has been the City's practice to send notices to all property owners within 300 feet of the property in question. The City, therefore, mailed notices to all property owners and tenants within 300 feet of the subject property. A notice was also published in the Valley Times and posted in the designated posting places. A copy of this Staff Report was distributed to the Applicant. ATTACHMENT: 1.

The Cities agree as follows: 1. Dublin Approval. On Apri12, 2002, the City of Dublin certified a fmal revised supplemental environmental impact report ("EIR") for and approved the East Dublin Property Owners' Stage 1 Development Plan and Annexation Project ("East Dublin project" or "project"). The East Dublin project is entirely within the City's General Plan and sphere of influence, and portions of the project are within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The project includes approximately 1,120 acres and is proposed for up to 2,526 residential units and 1.4 million squaze feet of commercial and industrial uses. 2. Livermore Concerns. Throughout Dublin's review process for the project, Livermore expressed its concerns regarding the adequacy of environmental review of the project and its potential impacts on Livermore and the surrounding region. 3. Statute of Limitations. The statute of limitations for legal challenge to Dublin's approval of the project under the California Environmental Quality Act expires on May 6, 2002. 4. Efforts to Resolve Dispute. The Cities both seek to preserve the environmental quality and quality of life in the Tri-Va11ey. In an effort to achieve this goal and avoid litigation over the project, a liaison committee consisting of two city council members representing each of the Cities (the "Liaison Committee") met on several occasions to discuss resolution of issues of concern to the Cities. Agreements in principle reached among the members of the Liaison Committee are includeci as appropi-iaie in ~ius MOU. 5. Airport Protection Area. Livermore operates a municipal airport located in the western area of Livermore and in the vicinity of the project area. In the portion of the project azea designated as the Livermore Airport Protection Area ("APA"), Dublin has identified approximately ninety-two (92) acres as a"Future Study Area." Exhibit A, attached hereto, depicts the APA and Future Study Area. In order to resolve concerns raised by Livermore regarding potential future land uses within the APA, Dublin agrees to add a General Plan policy that states that land uses to be established within the Future Study Area will be submitted to the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission to determine consistency with the APA. It is Dublin's intention to approve no school or residential uses (other than RRA) in the APA "Future Study Area" as the "Future Study Area" is MOU Beriveen City of Dublin and City of Livermore Page 1 of 4 Regarding Land-Use Planning Issues of Mutual Concem May 1, 20G Z~ n ,~,; ~a , ~ ~ECEIVED ATTACHMEN'T 2 ~ i~ ~ currently designated. Livermore agrees to formally review its general plan and zoning for consistency with the APA. 6. Conservation Easements. Approximately two hundred sixty nine (269) acres in the northern portion of the project area are designated as Rural ResidentiaUAgricultural Areas ("RRA") and would allow development of one residence per one hundred (100) acres and agricultural-related uses. This RRA area is generall-y depicted on Exhibit B, attached hereto. Livermore desires that ~ the RRA remain permanently protected to preserve the resources and habitat in the area and to provide a community separator between the Cities. Dublin agrees to adopt a policy that requires the City to use its best efforts to secure conservation easements or similar instruments that would permanently restrict development outside of a reasonable development envelope on the lands designated RRA in the project area. 7. Resource and Open Space Planning. The mitigation monitoring plan applicable to the project area requires developers to prepare a Resource Management Plan for the project area. Similarly, Livermore has initiated a Habitat Conservation Plan program for open space. Dublin and Livermore agree to cooperate during the preparation of their respective plans. Specifically, Dublin and Livermore agree to consider habitat preservation and restoration in the Doolan Canyon area and to address requirements of resources agencies to protect or preserve habitat lands to offset the impacts of urban development. 8. Water Sunnlv. ' Both the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the 1993 EIR require a will serve letter from The Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) prior to grading permit approval. DSRSD has approved the Final Revised Water Service Analysis for Eastem Dublin (December 2001). (See, in particular, Section 2.) Dublin agrees to use recycled water to the greatest extent possible. 9. Re~ional Transportation Funding. Currently, the Tri Valley Transportation Commission ("TVTC") imposes a fee on development in the Tri Valley to fund needed regional transportation improvements ("T~ i C Development Fees"). Livermore has expressed concerns regarding the insufficiency of the TVTC Development Fees to fund regional transportation improvements needed as a result of development of the project and other Tri Valley development, including development in the City of Livermore. The Cities shall form a transportation committee that meets as necessary to address regional and local transportation issues of mutual concern to the Cities. The Cities shall invite the City of Pleasanton to be part of the transportation committee. The transportation committee shall consider the adequacy of the TVTC Development Fees for existing and future regional transportation improvements and shall present the transportation committee's conclusions and the basis for those conclusions to the city councils of the Cities. Dublin and Livermore have adopted model development agreements that require the payment of all development impact fees MOU Between City of Dublin and City of Livermore Page 2 of 4 Regazding Land-Use Planning Issues of Mutual Concem May 1, 2002 `~ 1 at building permit issuance in the amounts in effect at such time. It is each city's intention to utilize such provisions for a11 projects that include development agreements. 10. Dublin Boulevard Extension. Implementation of the project will include extending Dublin Boulevard east of Fallon Road and establishing an alignment for this extension. Determination of the alignment will require extensive study and environmental review. The Cities agree to cooperate regarding the timing and alignment of the extension. 11. Doolan Canvon Redesignation. Currently, Dublin's General Plan designates Doolan Canyon as a"Future Study Area." Dublin has initiated a General Plan Amendment ("GPA") to remove the "Futu.re Study Area" designation from Doolan Canyon. Dublin represents that approval of the GPA would result in removal of the Doolan Canyon area from Dublin's planning area. At its Apri16, 2002 meeting, the Dublin Planning Commission recommended approval of the GPA to the Dublin City Council. The Dublin City Council shall take action on the proposed GPA no later than June 21, 2002. 12. Central Parkwav Ali ent. The Dublin General Plan includes a conceptual alignment for Central Parkway that merges Central Parkway with Dublin Boulevard within the project area east of Fallon Road. See Exhibit C[Figure 2-K from revised supplemental DEIR], attached hereto. The existing land use map in Dublin's General Plan does not depict the correct conceptual alignment for Central Parkway. No later than June 21, 2002, the Dublin City Council shall take action on the proposed GPA amending the land use map of its General Plan to depict the correct conceptual alignment for Central Parkway. 13. Further Environmental Review. The EIR for the project is a programmatic EIR, and as noted on page 1-3 of the January 2, 2002 Revised Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and elsewhere in the EIR, future discretionary approvals by Dublin for the project are subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, thereby providing additional opporlunity for public participation. In recognition of this factor, and as a result of liie agreements set forth in this MOU, Livermore agrees not to oppose nor bring any legal challenge to Dublin's approvals for the project approved on Apri12, 2002 and not to oppose nor bring any legal challenge to annexation of the project area by the Local Agency Formation Commission. Except as expressly provided in the previous sentence, Livermore reserves any and all rights to challenge any future action of the City of Dublin, including but not limited to any action that violates the terms of this MOU. 14. Effective Date; Approval of East Dublin Property Owners' Annexation. This Agreement sha11 be effective upon execution. The agreement shall terminate in its entirety, if the East Dublin Property Owners' Annexation is not approved by LAFCO (or is disapproved by the voters), does not become effective for any other MUU t3etween City of Dublin and City of Livermore Page 3 of 4 Regazding Land-Use Planning Issues of Mutual Concern May 1, 2002 ~i reason. If the annexation is approved with alterations, the parties agree to discuss revisions to this MOU. 15. Amendment. This MOU may not be amended except in writing. Any such amendment must be approved and executed by both Cities. 16. Severabilitv. Should any portion of this MOU be determined by any court or other tribunal having jurisdiction to make such a determination to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable or ineffectual, the validity of the remaining portions of the MOU shall not be affected by that determination.
