Section 2. FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS
Therefore, on the basis of (a) the foregoing Recitals which are incorporated herein, (b)
the City of Dublin General Plan, (c) the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment, (d) the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, (e) the Eastern Dublin EIR, (f) the 2000 MND, (g) the Agenda
Statement, (h) the Addendum and on the basis of the specific conclusions set forth below, the
City Council finds and determines that:
1. The Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general
land uses and programs specified and contained in the City's General Plan, as amended by the
Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment, and in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan in that: (a)
the General Plan and Specific Plan land use designation for the site is Neighborhood
Commercial and Public/Semi-Public, (b) the proposed project is consistent with the designated
land uses, (c) the project is consistent with the fiscal policies of the General Plan and Specific
Plan with respect to the provision of infrastructure and public services, and (d) the Development
Agreement includes provisions relating to vesting of development rights, and similar provisions
set forth in the Specific Plan.
2. The Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the
regulations prescribed for, the land use districts in which the real property is located including,
Planned Development zoning, Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan, Site Development Review,
proposed Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, and Conditional Use Permit (collectively, "Project
Approvals"). Section 5 of the Development Agreement states that the right to develop and permitted
uses under the Agreement are those set forth in the Project Approvals.
3. The Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general
welfare, and good land use policies in that the Developer's project will implement land use
2
guidelines set forth in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the General Plan, and Planned
Development zoning, which have planned for PD Village Center/Neighborhood Commercial and
Public/Semi-Public uses at this location, and the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan.
4. The Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and
general welfare in that the Developer's project will proceed in accordance with all the programs
and policies of the General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, Project Approvals and any
Conditions of Approval for the Project.
5. The Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of
property or the preservation of property values in that the project will be consistent with the
General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and Project Approvals.
6. The City finds that the environmental impacts of the Development Agreement
are addressed in the Addendum findings and analysis. The proposed Development
Agreement will not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts than those
identified in the Eastern Dublin EIR and 2000 MND. There is no substantial evidence showing
new information of substantial importance or substantial changes in circumstances that would
result in new or substantially more severe impacts or meet any other standards in Public
Resources Code Section 21166 and related CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163.
Therefore, no further environmental review is required under CEQA for the Development
Agreement. All previously adopted mitigation measures will apply to the proposed Project and
project site under the Development Agreement as applicable.
Section 3. APPROVAL
The City Council hereby approves the Development Agreement (Exhibit A to the
Ordinance) and authorizes the City Manager to execute it.
