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 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.

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.
