SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: PA 04-016 Chateau at Fallon Crossing
Conditional Use Permit to amend the Stage 2 Development Plan and
Site Development Review for 98 single-family detached units within
Tract 7617
Report Prepared by Mike Porto, Consulting Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Standard Pacific Homes, the Applicant and Property Owner, has submitted an application for a
Conditional Use Permit to amend the Stage 2 Development Plan to reflect the replotting of the
new architectural plans and Site Development Review approval of new architectural designs for
98 units which is part of the project known as Chateau at Fallon Crossing. Fallon Crossing is a
development of 106 homes and open space on approximately 67.8 acres; 98 single-family
detached homes and eight (8) duet units which will be used to comply with the City's
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance would be situated on 19.5 acres of the project site. A Site
Development Review for all 106 units was approved previously in 2007. The current application
would supersede the previous approval for the 98 single-family detached units while the eight
duet units would remain as previously approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Open the
public hearing; 3) Take testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close the public hearing
and deliberate; 5) Adopt a Resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit to amend the Stage 2
Planned Development Plan for Fallon Crossing (PA 04-016) to amend the plotting of the
residential units for the project known as "Chateau at Fallon Crossing" at the northeast
intersection of Tassajara Road and Fallon Road; and 6) Adopt a Resolution approving a Site
Development Review for 98 single-family detached homes within an existing PD-Planned
Development District known as "Chateau at Fallon Crossing" at the northeast intersection of
Tassajara Road and Fallon Road.

DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Site Development Review (SDR) is for the neighborhood known as Chateau at
Fallon Crossing within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area which is planned for 106 low
density residential units, open space, and infrastructure within Tract 7617. The project
proposed for consideration with this application addresses the 98 single-family detached units
and excludes the eight duets (attached units) on Lots 19, 20, 33, 34, 52, 53, 63, and 64. Each
unit, including the attached units, would be situated on its own lot as provided by Tract 7617.
The project initially was approved with a French hillside theme using architectural styles
approved with the Stage 2 Planned Development zoning. The current proposal remains
consistent with the adopted theme and styles, but would supersede prior approvals for the 98
single-family detached units included with the Site Development Review approved on November
13, 2007 by Planning Commission Resolution 07-59 for the entire 67.8 acre area. A Conditional
Use Permit is necessary to amend the Stage 2 Development Plan approved by Ordinance 26-07
on December 18, 2007 because the actual plotting of the previous architecture was a part of the
Stage 2 approval. The Applicant for this project is Standard Pacific Homes. The Resolution
approving the Conditional Use Permit is included as Attachment 1 and a Resolution approving
the Site Development Review is included as Attachment 2.
Background
On May 16, 2006, the City Council approved PA 04-016 for Fallon Crossing (formerly known as
Mission Peak) which included a Planned Development (PD) prezone and Planned Development
(PD) Stage 1 rezone and Development Plan, and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The
annexation application and pre-annexation agreement were approved by City Council
Resolution 73-06. Annexation to the City and the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD)
was approved by LAFCO on September 14, 2006. The annexation became effective on July 1,
2007.
On November 13, 2007 the Planning Commission took action on PA 04-016. The first action
was a recommendation for approval of Stage 2 Planned Development zoning (Resolution 07-58)
subsequently approved by the City Council on December 18, 2007 by Ordinance 26-07. At the
November 13, 2007 hearing, the Planning Commission also adopted Resolution 07-59
approving a Site Development Review for 106 units and Vesting Tentative Map Tract 7617 for
the 67.8 acre Fallon Crossing project.
Project Location, Surroundings, and Existin_g Conditions
Fallon Crossing is located within the Foothill Residential subarea of the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan area generally east of Tassajara Road where it intersects with the terminus of Fallon Road.
The project area is bounded: a) to the north by vacant land known as Moller Ranch; b) to the
east by vacant area which is part of Dublin Ranch North (Lin Family holdings) known as Dublin
Ranch North - Redgewick; c) to the south by Tract 7540 of Silvera Ranch known as Bella
Monte, 44 single-family units north of Fallon Road; and d) to the west by the Fredrich property
across Tassajara Road, annexed along with Fallon Crossing.
The Fallon Crossing site is characterized by high hills in the north and east, lower hills in the
southeast, and rolling terrain with steep to moderately steep topography characteristic of the
upper Tassajara Creek watershed. The project site generally consists of vacant hillside and
2of13
non-native annual grasslands. However, little vegetation remains as the project site has been
rough graded and installation of infrastructure is in progress in compliance with the Conditions of
Approval for Tract 7617. The project site has slopes that range from 5% along the west to more
than 50% on the upper elevations along the northern and eastern borders. Site topography
ranges in elevation from 429 feet in the west to approximately 883 feet at the top of the
northeasterly ridgeline.
The vicinity map below shows the general location of Chateau at Fallon Crossing:

Proposed Development
The Applicant currently requests approval of a Site Development Review (SDR) permit for the
98 single-family detached units (Lots 1-18, 21-32, 35-51, 54-62, and 65-106) which includes 3
different floor plans. All three plans are two-stories, and each floor plan will be offered in four of
the five different architectural styles. The development concept for the area strives to preserve
the natural environment and create a community that is compatible with the natural terrain.
Residential development has been approved for the southwest portion of the Fallon Crossing
site (approved at 19.5 acres) near the entry at Fallon Road within a relatively level area east of
Moller Creek thereby allowing much of the hillside area to be preserved. A large portion of the
project, 46.8 acres or (69% of the property), will be permanently designated and preserved in
perpetuity as open space. Most of this area is steep slope and visually sensitive ridgelines.
(See Open Space Map below)
3of13
Open Space Map
The remaining acreage will be developed as 19.5 acres for residential use, and a little over one
acre would serve as a linear Neighborhood Park which runs along the base of the hillsides and
extends along the creek/drainage area adjacent to the westerly portion of the project site. Due
to the small size of this neighborhood park, it will remain under the ownership and maintenance
responsibility of the homeowners association (HOA) but also will include a public access
easement for public enjoyment of the required public art. A detention basin system, with upper
and lower water quality ponds nearby, is under construction north and west of the linear park for
the collection and discharge of all surface runoff from this development. Additional improved
open space and recreation areas within this neighborhood include several pocket parks, a trail
system, and a community vineyard. Open Space areas are proposed to be owned, managed,
and maintained by public agencies, the HOA, special districts, or a conservation management
organization or land trust. All of these items were approved as part of the 2007 Planning
Commission action and are not being considered with this current application.
Of the 98 detached units, 10 units near the project entry are located off of three private
motorcourts for the purpose of limiting back-out driveway movements in that location. The other
88 have direct access to the internal public road circulation system and a series of cul-de-sacs.
The proposed project would be developed as one neighborhood in one phase.

The proposed site layout for Chateau at Fallon Crossing is shown as follows:
ANALYSIS:
General Plan/Zonin_q
Chateau at Fallon Crossing is subject to the development regulations (site development
standards) approved with the Stage 1 Planned Development zoning PD PA 04-016 and the
design standards approved and adopted with the Stage 2 Planned Development zoning and
Development Plan. All proposed uses and densities are consistent with those requirements. As
stated above, 19.5 acres within the Planned Development PD PA 04-016 were designated and
zoned Low Density/Single-Family residential. Net density for the 106 units within the residential
zone is 5.44 units per acre when calculating on the basis of this land use and 1.6 dwelling units
per acre gross density when the entire site, including open space, is taken into account.
Conditional Use Permit
The requested Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is necessary because the plotting of the original
architectural foot prints were approved as a part of the Stage 2 Development Plan. Chapter
8.32.080 of the Planned Development Zoning Ordinance states that a CUP may be granted for a
minor amendment to a Planned Development as long as the amendment does not materially
change the provisions or intent of the Planned Development Zoning Ordinance for the site. The
replotting of the individual houses on the lots would reflect the revised architecture discussed
below. A Resolution recommending approval of a Conditional Use Permit is included as
Attachment 1.

Site Development Review
According to Chapter 8.104 of the City's Zoning Ordinance, the Site Development Review would
address the site layout and architecture, front yard landscaping, hardscape, and details for walls
and fences.
The Site Development Review materials include a Master Site Plan showing the location of the
lots, circulation system, open space, recreation areas, infrastructure, and the preservation or
conservation areas. The site layout has been designed with attention to natural drainage and
hillside preservation. Materials for the landscape, hardscape, and structures emphasize natural
materials and colors. All these items were reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission
as part of the 2007 actions.
The neighborhood theme relies on a comprehensive trail system that integrates the creekside
linear park along the westerly boundary with the community vineyard, and pocket parks via links
through the cul-de-sacs to the upper levels of the site which offer commanding views of the
surrounding valley.
None of the development standards (i.e., lot size, setbacks, building height, parking, etc.)
adopted as a part of the Stage 2 Planned Development are proposed to be changed. Minimum
lot size for the detached units in the Chateau neighborhood is 3,760 square feet with minimum
dimensions of 35 feet by 47 feet and an average lot. size of 4,712 square feet. Site coverage is
limited to a maximum of 55% for the two-story floor plans, including a plan with an optional
outdoor living room or California room adjacent to the rear of the home on Plans 2 and 3. The
homes planned for the Chateau neighborhood are similar in style and size to other homes on
similar size lots already constructed in that part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area.
Site Layout/P/otting -The street and plotting pattern for this neighborhood were previously
approved by the Planning Commission (Resolution 07-59) with adoption of the Subdivision Map
for Tract 7617. The homes within the Chateau neighborhood face onto: 1) Syrah Drive which
loops through the neighborhood from its entrance location off of Fallon Road; 2) one of three
courts or cul-de-sacs; or 3) one of three motorcourts (private driveway/street).
Lots for the detached units within the Chateau neighborhood range from about 3,800 square
feet (Lots 21, 35, 99, and 100) to 7,550 square feet (Lot 3) with remainder of the lots between
3,820 square feet (Lot 38) to 7,474 square feet (Lot 4).
Rear yards are required to have a 10-foot minimum depth. In most cases the actual rear yard
setback would exceed these dimensions depending on the floor plan type placed on each
individual lot. The proposed project would comply with all other adopted development
standards.
The exterior elevations of the homes aim to create a varied and visually interesting street scene
through a mixture of architectural plans and styles. Such techniques would include, but not be
limited to: 1) reversing and varying adjacent plans and exterior styles, 2) avoiding repetitious
patterns, 3) varying heights and setbacks, and 4) incorporating single-story elements into two-
story buildings especially on the rear elevations.
Homes located on public streets would wrap the corner to create an articulated building facade
framing the intersection. Various techniques are employed to reduce the perceived mass and
scale of the buildings through broken and varying rooflines and building footprints and the
incorporation of lower height massing elements such as front porches or recessed second
6of13
stories. Other design elements for this purpose include the use of garage faces setback from
the building front, and side entries to the unit (Plan 1).
Floor Plans - In the previously approved SDR, four floor plans ranged in size from 2,501
square feet to 3,260 square feet with variations in the area based architectural elements among
the different elevation styles. The current proposal presents three floor plans, all two stories,
ranging in size from 2,501 square feet to 3,081 square feet. Plan 1 is designed with one-story
elements along the front and side yard area to reduce mass, enhance pedestrian scale, and
provide additional light and air between adjacent properties. All plans provide living area on the
ground floor in the form of a "great room" with dining area or nook adjacent to the ground floor
kitchen. All plans are configured with the master bedroom on the second floor at the rear of the
structure with at least one large walk-in closet and dual basins in a large master bathroom. The
laundry rooms for all three plans are located on the second floor, and the second full bathroom
in all plans is also located on the second floor with each having dual basins.
All three plans have a covered front porch. Plans 2 and 3 have covered outdoor room options
adjacent to the ground floor living area at the rear of the home. Both outdoor room options
would be subject to the maximum site coverage of 55%. All plans have astreet-facing double
garage door.

* The square footage range is due to variations in architectural projections among the different elevation styles and/or outdoor
room area of 193 square feet for Plan 2 and 179 square feet for Plan 3.
Plan 1 -Plan 1 is a 3-bedroom unit and the smallest at approximately 2,501 square feet. It is
arranged with aside-facing entry and covered front porch. The ground floor living area includes
a den at the front of the house in addition to the Great room, kitchen, and dining area. All three
bedrooms and the two full bathrooms are located on the second floor with optional loft space
that may be built out as a fourth bedroom. (See Attachment 3, Sheets A1.0 through A1.5,)
Plan 2 -Plan 2 is a 3-bedroom unit at approximately 2,716 square feet. As with Plan 1, the
second floor provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms with loft space that may be built out
as another bedroom. In addition, Plan 2 provides ground floor flex space near the front of the
house which may be used as a den or built out as a bedroom with conversion of the downstairs
powder room to an on-suite full bathroom. Additional living space may be provided by an
outdoor living room of approximately 193 square feet adjacent to the Great room at the rear of
the home provided that coverage limitations are not exceeded. (See Attachment 3, Sheets A2.0
through A2.5)
7of13
Table 1: Chateau at Fallon Crossing -Floor Plans
Plan 3 - At approximately 3,081 square feet, Plan 3 is the largest unit. In addition to the four
bedrooms upstairs, second floor loft space can be built out as a fifth bedroom. The master
bedroom in this Plan is designed with dual walk-in closets. This floor plan offers several options
for additional ground floor living areas. A formal dining room may be built out as a den, and flex
space near the front of the house may be used as a den or built out as a bedroom with
conversion of the downstairs powder room to an on-suite full bathroom. This floor plan also
offers additional living space in the form of a California room, an outdoor living room of
approximately 179 square feet adjacent to the Great room at the rear of the home provided that
coverage limitations are not exceeded. (See Attachment 3, Sheets A3.0 through A3.5)
Architecture -The Planned Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan includes Design
Guidelines which approved a series of architectural styles. This SDR offers five architectural
styles: (A) English Country, (B) English, (C) French Country, (D) French, and (E) Normandy.
All three floor plans may be built in any one of four architectural styles. (See Attachment 3,
Sheets A1.0, A2.0, and A3.0) The use of multiple styles is intended to enhance the diversity of
the street scene.
Each of the architectural styles provides a variety of textures, colors, and materials; roof forms
and gable end treatments; window shapes and mullion patterns; trim profiles and shutter
configurations; railings; and other style-specific details. The color schemes are intended to
complement facade articulation and the elevation styles that contribute to an integrated street
scene.
Exterior elevations of all styles are primarily stucco and would be accented or finished with
colors from an approved palette or with brick veneer, manufactured stone veneer, and/or wood
textured elements. All exterior elevations include style-appropriate detail with additional
enhancement incorporated into the exteriors of corner lots. The garage facades have been de-
emphasized and reflect living forward architecture through the use of: multi-plane front
elevation setbacks, covered front porches, and recessed doors. All styles have gable or hip roof
configurations at a fairly steep pitch, and narrow eaves. The roof material on all styles is a flat
concrete the with various accents and features based on the elevation style. The Normandy
style also incorporates "S" concrete tiles along the ridges and hips. Garage doors are aluminum
roll-up in a rustic or barn door motif.
Themed architectural elements will be required to be wrapped and articulated on all elevations
of each building. The homes are designed with themed architectural elements integrated into
the front rear and side facades and applied as enhanced corner and rear elevations when
viewed from offsite.
The following provides an abbreviated description of each approved architectural style approved
for this neighborhood:
English Country (A) -The English Country style is represented on all three floor plans. The
steeply gabled roof is accented with narrow louvered vents or an abbreviated hip cut-off.
The stucco exterior is accented with brick veneer and wood grain textured battens. Entries
are accented with brick veneer arches. Other accents include both real and simulated
wooden elements. Lower box bay windows are capped with a metal seam canopy with faux
patina finish. Upper level balconies are framed by wooden railings while upper windows are
flanked by louvered shutters.
8of13
English (B) -Like the English Country and Normandy styles, the English style is represented
on all three floor plans. The stuccoed exterior is accented with manufactured stone veneer.
Gable ends are accented with narrow louvered vents or 8-inch horizontal lapped panel siding
supported by wooden corbels. Window mullions are evocative of the Craftsman style with
smaller panes in the upper portion. Porches and balconies are supported by wooden posts,
and upper railings are metal. Lower level windows and entries are accented with brick
surrounds, and upper level windows are framed by plank shutters or heavy wood grained
trim. Plan 3 shows a ground level box bay window on the front elevation with a metal seam
canopy and faux patina finish.
French Country (C) -French Country is the least represented style appearing on Plan 1,
only. This style is typified by asteep-pitched gable roof forms, stucco exterior, and heavy
door trims and window surrounds. The entry is accented with a steep sweeping gable
embellished with stylized foam details and a lower box bay window capped by a metal seam
canopy and faux patina finish. The front porch entry is identified by a simple stuccoed
archway with porch railings made of wood. Upper windows are framed by a heavy pot shelf
supported by wooden textured corbels and/or wood paneled shutters.
French (D) -This style is limited to Plans 2 and 3 and is characterized by steep gable roof.
The Plan 2 entry is accented with a round tower feature with a cone cap shaped roof and
cut-out embellished with wrought iron trim. The entry on Plan 3 is accented with a steep
sweeping gable embellished, as the French Country style, with stylized foam details and box
bay windows with metal seam canopy and faux patina finish. The upper level over the
garage door is trimmed with an arched opening and precast keystone accent on Plan 2 and
with foam stuccoed corbels on Plan 3. Upper level windows are framed by wood-textured
panel shutters and corbeled pot shelves.
Normandy (E) -The Normandy expresses and displays the French hillside theme of this
neighborhood and is available for all three floor plans. This style features hip roof forms
covered by a flat concrete the while, as stated above, incorporating concrete "S" tiles along
the hips and ridges. Brick veneer and faux cross cut timbers or vertical wood grain battens
over wide foam trim bands embellish the stucco exterior finish. Built-out foam bands
delineate the first and second stories. Windows and doors are accented by simulated wood
textured frames with flat arches over entries and balconies. Vertical windows are featured
on the upper floors with shallow box bay windows supported by foam shaped and stuccoed
corbels on Plan 2 and simulated wood textured shutters on secondary elevations for all
plans. Trim and accents are a minimum of 4-inch stuccoed foam plant-ons. Balcony railings
would be metal while lower level porch railings would be constructed of wood.

Parking - In accordance with the development standards, each of the 98 detached units in the
Chateau neighborhood is provided with atwo-car garage resulting in compliance with the
minimum requirement of 196 covered spaces. All units are required to provide one guest space
(a minimum of 98 guest spaces) which may be accommodated curbside within the public right-
of-way. The plan for curbside guest parking was approved previously.
Landscaping/Fence Plan -The Landscaping Plan, along with the plan of fences and walls, was
approved previously, including trees, plantings, and hardscape elements used to create
neighborhood entries and identity. In the current submittal, the landscape plans provide a plant
palette and have been prepared to reflect the typical building footprint of each floor plan for both
interior and corner lots (See Attachment 3, Sheet L-6). In addition to the overall landscape plan
for the neighborhood, the landscaping for the parkways and the individual lots will be required to
conform to the City Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELD) (Condition No. 18).
The walls and fence designs proposed for Chateau also have been previously approved and are
consistent with the design and hierarchy of walls and fences previously approved for adjacent
neighborhoods in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area.
Project Access and Circulation -Access to Fallon Road has not changed from the previous
approval. The on-site street network are public streets, and the proposed public street sections
are comparable and similar to those already approved- or built in other areas of the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan area.
Development Agreement -The Applicant/Property Owner entered into a Development
Agreement with the City of Dublin which was approved on November 18, 2008, by City Council
Ordinance 39-08.
Affordable Housing/Inclusionary Zoning -The proposed project is subject to an Affordable
Housing Agreement which is currently being prepared. The affordable housing requirement for
Fallon Crossing will be satisfied by a combination of in-lieu fees and the 8 duet units on the lots
identified as below market rate (BMR) or affordable.
Public Art Compliance -The proposed project is conditioned to provide Public Art in
accordance with "Chapter 8.58 Public Art Program" of the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance. An
appropriate Condition of Approval has been applied to this project (See Attachment 2, Condition
19 and 20, page 9).
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE:
Under the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the area within the proposed
project is designated "Residential: Single-Family." The site is zoned "PD-Low Density/Single-
Family Residential." The Stage 2 Planned Development Zoning and Development Standards
were approved in 2007. The current SDR request is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation and Planned Development Zoning determined at that time when the project was
initially approved.
The proposed project has been reviewed for conformance with the Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan. The Applicant intends to exceed the City of Dublin
Green Building Ordinance and will exceed the 50 point threshold in the City's program. The
"Green Point rated Checklist" is included in Attachment 3 (Sheets GP.1 through GP.4) however
a full size set of the Green Point Rated Checklist is included as Attachment 4. In general, the
Applicant is furthering the goals of the Community Design and Sustainability Element of the
10 of 13
General Plan by providing a high quality of life and preserving resources and opportunities for
future generations.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Department, Dublin Police Services
and Dublin San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided Conditions of
Approval where appropriate to ensure that the Project is established in compliance with all local
Ordinances and Regulations. Conditions of Approval from these departments and agencies
have been included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
An Initial Study was prepared for the project and circulated for public review as part of the pre-
zoning, pre-annexation agreement, and Stage 1 Planned Development plan in February/March,
2006. Based on the project description which retains more than two-thirds of the site in open
space, and the updated technical studies, the Initial Study determined that the project could
result in significant but mitigatable site-specific impacts. Mitigation measures added from
previous environmental reviews pertained mainly to storm water run-off measures and traffic
improvements required by improvements plans and regulations not available or in effect during
prior environmental assessments. Although the project site was located within the
unincorporated area at the time, the Fallon Crossing project was included in the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan area by virtue of being within the City's Sphere of Influence.
The Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area was certified by the City
Council on May 10, 1993 (SCH # 91103064, Resolution 51-93, incorporated herein by
reference, hereafter "Eastern Dublin EIR"). The Eastern Dublin EIR is a program EIR that
anticipated several subsequent actions related to future development in Eastern Dublin. The EIR
identified some impacts from implementation of the General Plan/Specific Plan that could not be
mitigated. Upon certification of the EIR, the City adopted a statement of overriding considerations
for such impacts. The City also adopted a mitigation monitoring program, which included numerous
measures intended to reduce impacts from the development of the Eastern Dublin area.
Additionally, based upon previous environmental documentation and the analysis of the proposed
project, the City of Dublin, as the Lead Agency, prepared and adopted a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the project. The City Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration on
May 16, 2006. Therefore, the proposed SDR would not require any further environmental
review.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the proposed project to advertise the project and the upcoming public hearing.
A public notice also was published in the Valley Times and posted at several locations
throughout the City. A copy of this Staff Report has been provided to the Applicant.
