The Draft EfR was completed, circutated fior public review, and the Final EIR is being considered by the City.Council at this public hearing. ANALYSIS: The DDSP represents a vision of the future devefopment for the Downtown area while providing flexibility to respond to market conditions. The DDSP has several key concepts: ~ 1. Distinct Districts. The project -.4::_ ~~._,-.~.,.-~~ _:, ,,..; .,:~ ,,- ; :.,..: . r 4 . A ~' 1 ~i +'.

Ratios (FAR) that will allow greater ~~'~ ~~ `''"~~ development capacity to take advantage of the proximity to public transit opportunities. . t . 2. Land Uses. The range of allowed land uses in the DDSP is intended to promote a viable mix of commercial and residential uses in the; project area: The permitted, conditionally permitted; - and prohibited land uses for each district are located directly in the DDSP. This is a unique approach in that uses are permitted throughout the district and are not specific to a certain piece of property. 3.. Development Capacity. The DDSP is set up to allow a "base" amount of development on each parcel by right. In the Draft DDSP, a base Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is permitted, and if a property owner would like to develop beyond the base FAR, they may obtain additional square footage from the "Development Pool." The Development Pool would allow the property owners to develop their property up to a maximum FAR. In order to access the Development Pool the property DISTRICT BASE MAXIMUM FAR FAR Retail 0.35 0.6 Transii- O.SQ l.2 Oriented Village Parkway 0.35 0.35 owner would be required to enter into an agreement with the City and would need to provide a community benefit (described below). The base and maximum FAR for each district is shown in the table above. Page 4 of 11 5 17 4. Community Benefit Proqram. The Community Benefit Program concept.allows.Applicants to have the option of receiving a higher density (up to the maximum FAR) on their property in exchange for providing a public benefit to the DDSP area. There is not a list of prescribed benefits, but the DDSP includes examples of appropriate community benefits such as the physical development of a public plaza or gathering space, park, outdoor play area, or enhanced streetscape improvements. Other benefits might include sponsoring a special event downtown, providing public safety enhancements, or payment into a Downtown Fund for future public improvements. . DDSP Overview ~ The DDSP is divided into the following sections, and is included as Exhibit A of Attachment 1. It is expected that future refinements to the DDSP are likely to take place as development moves forward in the downtown, as conditions change, and as policies are implemented. Any proposed changes to the DDSP would require review by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. ~. 1. Introduction~ , . ~ ~ 2. Site and Context ~ 3.

It was developed based on a review of background documents, field surveys, meetings with City staff, public workshops, input from the City Council and Planning Commission, and interviews with stakeholders in.the DDSP Area. ~ .- ~ Chapter 3: Land Use and Development Plan Chapter 3 details guiding principles for the Village Parkway, Retail, and Transit-Oriented Districts, the allowed land uses, and the amount of development that is permitted in each district. The chapter describes the development potential of both the base square footage/floor area ratio (FAR) and also the maximum development potential allowed using the Development Pool. ~ Chapter 4: Development Standards and Design Guidelines ~ ~~ This chapter contains the development standards and design guidelines that are intended to create distinct districts that have a look and feel appropriate to their respective guiding principles. Development standards are requirements that must be met for project approval. These are contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the DDSP. Design guidelines are less strident and are often encouraged or discouraged rather than required or prohibited. These are contained in Section 4.4 of the DDSP. Page 5 of 11 ~ ~~ Chapter 5: Mobility and Infrastructure Plan This chapter establishes the circulation~and infrastructure improvements required to permit the development potential of the DDSP Area. The chapter outlines the vehicular circulation, bicycle and pedestrian circulation, and public transit to be further developed in the DDSP area. The chapter also describes the limited water;. sewer, and storm drain infrastructure improvements needed to enable future development in the area. Chapter 6: Implementation and Administrafion .. This chapter describes the process for implementing and administering the DDSP, including the processes for development review, treating, nonconforming uses, and amending the DDSP. This chapter also describes how the Development Pool and Community Benefit Program functions. . ~ RECENT DDSP REVISIONS: ~ At the joint Study Session on August 21, 2010, .the City Council and Planning Commission had their first review of the complete Draft DDSP. . Based on the feedback received:at this.meeting, . Staff made several changes to the document: ~;Staff also made one change to the document based on input received from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) during ° the public comment period; which is noted below: " ~~ ~ ~ ..- , .. . - . . . ~: .~..~.... .. :;,.. , . Vision: . . . . • Added "pedestrian-friendly" and~ ~"aesthetically-pleasing" to the document's Vision Statement. , - ~ ~ . Chapter ~1: . . . - . • Added information about the City's Green Building Ordinance. ~ Chapter 3: ~ . ~ . ~ ~• ~Added ~ two new Guiding Principles related to (1) creating a vibrant and dynamic ~ downtown and (2) encouraging the use of local labor, businesses, and materials. • Clarified that dining and/or entertainment uses are allowed in any district. • Added notations to Table 3-1 (Land Uses) that residential uses,. while allowed in any district, shall incorporate additional ciesign features if located within 1,000 feet of ~ Interstate 580 or :680 in order to comply with ttie requirements of the California Air Resources Control Board. (BAAQMD-directed change) ~ Chapter 4: ~ • Added language to the vision statement for each district emphasizing pedestrian scale, use of green building materials, and encouraging creativity and. unique design. • Development Standards (Section 4.3): . o Added language to the development standards for each district~ noting that shared access to multiple parcels is desirable. o Added language to the development standards of each district noting that residential uses located within 1000 feet of either Interstate 580 or 680 shall incorporate . additional design features intended to minimize the impacts of toxic air contaminants on future residents. . o Clarified .that the maximum building height in the Transit-Oriented District is 8 stories/90 feet and that some features may extend beyond this height. • Design Guidelines (Section 4.4): ~ o Added text to the "General Building Design" guidelines noting that any building fa~ade viewable from the pubfic realm shall have architectural elements and features similar to the front fa~ade. Page 6 of 11 ~ 1~ ~ o Removed the list of allowed building materials and replaced the text with language stating any selected building material should be dureble, high quality, attractive, and consistent with the City's Green Building Ordinance and the Community Design and Sustainability Element of the General .Plan. o Added a new section on "Gateway Features" which are those features that help to visually define transitions between spaces and buildings. lncluded photographs of desirable gateway features. o Added new section on "Public Outdoor Gathering Spaces" which are distinguished from Private Outdoor Spaces. Included photographs of attractive public outdoor gathering spaces. ~ o Incorporated several additional photographs of good architectural examples in Dublin. o Changed text to state that energy efficient lighting is required (not encouraged). Repealing other Specific Plans ~ - ~ A part of the adoption of the DDSP involves repealing the other specific plans in the project area that the DDSP is meant to replace. The intent. of the DDSP is that this document addresses the comprehensive Downtown publin~ area and negates the need for the individua4 specific.plans that address each area individually. -The action of_adopting the DDSP will include a formal repeal of the Village Parkway Specific Plan; the Downtown Core Specific. Plan, the . Village Parkway Specific; Rlan, the Dublin Downtown Specific Plan, and the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. . ~,, : . . . . . : . ,. _ Although the San Ramon Road Specific Plan area is ~not fully encompassed by the new DDSP, ~ Staff recommends repealing the Plan in its entirety. The only portions of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan that remain outside of the DDSP boundary-are two tracts of land.;~that are developed with multi-family uses. The Plan was adopted by the City Council in 1983, an.d most of the conditions and policies described in the Plan are no longer relevant in 2011. :' For this reason, Staff proposes a full repeal. of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan along with the others. The Resolution adopting the DDSP is included as Attachment 1 of this Staff Report; and the proposed DDSP, with the revisions noted above, is included as Exhibit A to Attachment ~1: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS: Several amendments to the General Plan are required in order for the DDSP, as drafted, to be . consistent with the elements of the General Plan. One of the main amendments to the General Plan is to change the land use designations in the DDSP from the various parcel-specific land use designations to a new land use designation that applies.to an entire district. Currently, parcels in the DDSP have a variety of. General Plan land use designations, ~including Retail/Office, Mixed-Use, High Density Residential, Public/Semi-Public, Retail/Office and Automotive; and Parks and Recreation. The General Plan will be amended to include three new land use .designations: Downtown Dublin - Village Parkway Districfi, Downtown Dublin - Retail District, and Downtown Dublin - Transit-Oriented District. The boundaries of these three land use designations shall be contiguous with the district boundaries shown in the DDSP, and the maximum development potential shall be as described in the DDSP. Figure 1-1a (General Plan Land Use Map) shall be amended accordingly. ~ Another key amendment to the General Plan is~revising the circulation policy that requires the operating Level of Service (LOS) for intersections in Dublin to be no worse than LOS D. LOS is a qualitative description of operating traffic conditions, ranging from LOS A(free-fiow traffic Page 7 of 11 ~° ~~ ~ conditions with little or no delay} to LOS F(traffic flows exceed design capacity, resulting in long queues and delays). ~ ~ This item was discussed in detail at the June 29, 2010 Study Session. After consideration, the City Council provided direction to Staff that this LOS D or .better policy should not apply to all intersections within the DDSP project area. The concept behind the change is that the community is willing to accept increased traffic congestion (i.e. reduced level of service) that comes with allowing greater development capacity., Keeping the .LOS D policy, which was deemed not desirable, would result in larger roadways and changed lane configurations. These improvements, while impraving traffic flow, would be in conflict with improving the pedestrian and bicycle safety in Downtown Dublin and cceating a more walkable area. Other minor amendments are proposed to update the General Plan text to.note the existence of the new DDSP and to remove references to the West Dublin BART and Downtown Core Specific Plans. The exact changes proposed to the General Plan are illustrated in Attachment 2,. with strikeout text show.ing the proposed deletions and underlined text showing .the~ proposed additions. ~ : . . . ~ : ~ The Resolution adopting the General Plan Amendments. is included as Attachment 1~to this ~ ' ~ Staff Report. . :. . . . . . ~ ... ~ : ~ ~ ' - . .. . . . . , . , ~ - ~. ~ ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS: . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~. One of th~e implementation actions of the.DDSP is to rezone all of the properties in the DDSP ~~ area with a single zoning districf to streamline review and approval of;new.development in:the'~ DDSP. By creating a new zoning designation that refers to..,the permitted {and~ uses.and . development standards contained in the DDSP, future development applications need only~ be . in compliance witli the DDSP.instead of other zoning districts that..were developed prior to the ~ creation of the DDSP. If a development proposal is in conformance ~with .the DDSP, the only_ . planning approval needed~is for Site Development Review, or a Conditional/Minor Use Permit in some circumstances. ~ . ~ The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are as follows: . 1. Create a new zoning district and a new Chapter in the Zoning Ordinance: Chapter 8.30 ~ Downtown ~Dublin Zoning District ~ ~ 2. Rezone all parcels in the DDSP project area to the Downtown Dublin Zoning District (this includes all pcoperties shown in. Figure 1 of this Staff Report); 3. Amend the Zoning Map to show the location of the Downtown Dublin Zoning District; and 4. Make minor amendments to Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land) and Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) to reflect the existence of the new Chapter 8.30 (Downtown Dublin Zoning District). ~. New Chapter 8.30 (Downtown Dublin Zoning District) identifies the permitted uses and development standards for properties.in the zoning district by referring back.to Sections 3.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the DDSP itself. If these sections of the DDSP are amended in the future, they wi{I need to be accompanied by a Zoning Ordinance Amendment, since these sections serve as the zoning standards for the Zoning District. If other sections of the DDSP are amended. in the future, they can be done so through Resolution. Page 8 of 11 ~i ~~ All of the properties in the DDSP area are currently zoned Planned Development (PD). All of these PD Zoning Districts would be replaced by a single Downtown Dubliri Zoning District. In general, the development standards and permitted uses outlined in the DDSP are flexible and fairly generous. There are no known situations where the existing Planned Development Zoning District is more permissive than the provisions of the DD$P, so it is expected that most (or all) of the existing developmenf in the Downtown area is in conformance with the DDSP. The benefit of the rezoning is that property.owners will .no longer need to go through a Planned Development Rezone (either Stage 1 or Stage 2) when new development is proposed, they will simply need to be in compliance with the new Downtown Dublin Zoning District and the DDSP: The development would only be subject to Site Development Review. In the unlikely event that existing buildings and/or uses becorime non-conforming with the rezoning from Planned Development to Downtown Dublin Zoning ~District, the provisions of Ghapter 8:140 (Non-Conforming Uses and Structures) would apply. However, given~ .the generous provisions of the development standards and allowed uses in the DDSP, Staff does not anticipate that this situation will occur. ~ ~~ .. Two public meetings were held on October _13, 2010 to, ~ among othe.r~ ~,things, explain the ~". proposed rezoning action. A notice was sent to all property and business owners~ in, and within .~ 300 feet ~of, the ~DDSP project area ,inviting ~-them: to~ the ..meetings, and approximately 20 ~..: interested people attended.. No questions were asked about.the proposed rezoning action; but Y Staff answered several questions about the DDSP itself. ~~ . , .~ The Ordinance ~~approving the above-noted Zoning Ordinance ~Amendments is included as~ .~ '~ . ~: Attachment 3~,to: this. ~ Staff ~ Report. More specifically; the entire. proposed' ~new~ Chapter ~8:30 ~~.~` (Downtown Dublin Zoning.

Section 4, of. the. ~ O.r.dinance, and the proposed amendments to Chapter 8.104 (Site ~~ ~: Development Review)~are included in Sections 5 and 6 of the Ordinance. ~ ~~ ~ ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: ~ ~ ~ '~ An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared. to address potential environmental impacts of ~the DDSP. The DDSP EIR (SCH# 2010022005) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The~ Draft EIR was released for public ~review for a 45-day period, from September20, 2010 to November 4, 2010. • ~ . ~ Written comments were received from five public agencies, and the City also had discussions with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District about the Air Quality and .Greenhouse Gas Emissions sections of the DDSP and EIR. The comment letters, along with the City's response to those comments, are contained in the Final EIR. The Draft EIR and Final EIR are included as Exhibits A and B to Attachment 4 of this Staff Report, and the Mitigation Monitoring ~and Reporting Program is included as Exhibit F to Attachment 4. As required by CEQA, the Final EIR (that. includes the Response to Comments) was sent directly to the five agencies that provided comments on the Draft EIR. The DDSP EIR (comprised of the Draft EIR and Final EIR) has been available for review at City Hatl. The documents are also posted on the City's website on a page devoted to the DDSP. A letter from CalTrans on the Final EIR was received by the City on December 20, 2010 (Attachment 5). Although CEQA does not require a Lead Agency to provide a response to any Page 9 of 11 1~~i~ comments received after .the.45-day Draft EIR public comment period (which ended. on November 4, 2010), the City did prepare and send a response to CalTrans, which is included as Attachment 6 to this Staff Report. ~ ~ The Resolution certifying the Final EIR is included as Attachment 4 to this Staff Report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: . The I?lanning Commission reviewed the project at a public hearing on December 14, 2010. The ~~ Commission discussed the merits of the project and the changes that had been made to the DDSP since the last Planning Commission review in August 2010.
