Current Request
Brookfield Homes is requesting approval of a Site Development Review Permit and Conditional
Use Permit to construct a total of 166 single-family detached homes on approximately 31 acres
within Neighborhood 1 of Jordan Ranch. The proposed project includes two separate
developments.
• Windwood - 81 homes having a minimum lot size lot of 4,000 square feet generally
located in the southwest portion of Neighborhood 1. Three floor plans would be available
ranging in size from 2,251 square feet to 2,668 square feet. Windwood would be
developed within potions of Tract 8024 (Lots 5 through 40), and Tract 8073 (Lots 1
through 8 and Lots 29 through 65).
• Mariposa - 85 homes having a minimum lot size lot 5,200 square feet generally located
in the northern portion of Neighborhood 1. Three different floor plans are available
ranging in size from 2,971 square feet to 3,436 square feet. Mariposa would be
developed within potions of Tract 8024 (Lots 1 through 4 and Lots 41 through 59), and
Tract 8074 (Lots 1 through 51 and Lots 68 through 78).
3of12
The SDR addresses the site layout and architecture, as well as front yard landscaping,
hardscape, and details for walls and fencing.
The application also includes a CUP which would amend the Architectural Design Standards
adopted with the Planned Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan. In this case the
amendment would allow concrete roof tiles in place of, or as an alternative to, composition. The
amendment has been requested in an effort to satisfy market preferences and compatibility of
materials with other housing developments in the area.
ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit
The Applicant is proposing to use concrete roof the (both flat and S-curve, depending on
architectural style) as roofing material in both the Windwood and Mariposa neighborhoods.
Their statement indicates that this material is preferred by potential homebuyers and residents.
The Architectural Design standards adopted by City Council Ordinance 13-10 with the Planned
Development zoning Stage 2 Development Plan specifically states on page 18 of 50 (page 2-14
of the Design Standards):
"Roofing material shall consist of:
• Composition shingle (high quality, 40 year minimum shingle with shadow relief).
• Standing seam metal roofing on accent roofs or bay windows.
• Concrete the roofing is not appropriate to the style and is not allowed."
Chapter 8.32.080 of the Zoning Ordinance states that the Planning Commission may approve a
Conditional Use Permit as a means for minor amendments upon a finding that the amendment
substantially complies with and does not materially change the provisions or intent of the
adopted Planned Development Zoning Ordinance for the site. The requested change in roof
materials would not represent a material or significant change to those standards. The style and
quality proposed would be consistent with the materials approved for other residential projects in
the area and compatible with the proposed architectural styles.
Site Development Review
Site LayoubPlotting -The street and plotting pattern for Neighborhood 1 was previously
approved by the Planning Commission with the adoption of the Master Vesting Tentative Tract
Map 8024. Homes generally face onto a circulation system of internal perimeter roads
connected by east-west local access. Primary access is from Jordan Ranch Drive where it
intersects with Fallon Road. Jordan Ranch Drive runs adjacent to the Open Space corridor and
neighborhood park along the southeasterly boundary and connects with La Vina Street which
extends into the Cantara neighborhood of the Positano planned community to the north.
Secondary access from Positano Parkway is provided at Vinton Avenue located near the
northwesterly boundary of Neighborhood 1. (See location map above)
• WINDWOOD -For the Windwood neighborhood, the lots range in size from a 4,000 square
foot minimum to a maximum of 10,460 square feet (Lot 5, corner lot). The smallest lots
are interior lots located along the east-west running streets, Whitehorse Way and
Bassetts Way. The average lots size (excluding Lots 5 and 39 previously mentioned) is
5,110 square feet.
4of12
• MARIPOSA -For the Mariposa neighborhood, the lots range in size from 5,265 square feet
(Lots 2 and 39) to 14,909 square feet (Lot 68) with 5 lots over 10,000 square feet. The
average lot size is 6,350 square feet excluding (Lots 68 and 69 Tract 8074). The smaller
lots are located along the east-west running streets, Valley Vista Drive and La Vina
Street. The larger lots are located on hillside slopes.
All homes are required to have a minimum of 500 square feet of flat and usable rear yard area
with a minimum dimension of 10 feet.
The Site Development Plan for both the Windwood and Mariposa neighborhoods is shown on
Sheet C1 of Attachment 2. Sheet C3 provides a plotting or "fit list" for each lot by floor plan in
both the Windwood and Mariposa neighborhoods. The tables show coverage based on
architectural elevation style and compliance with setbacks. Also provided (Attachment 2, Sheet
C4) is a table of "preferred" plotting of floor plans and elevations on specific lots. The applicant
is indicating that they are pre-plotting certain houses on certain lots to assure the enhanced
elevation on the side and rear elevations visible to the street.
As with a number of SDRs approved previously in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, the
currently requested Site Development Review Plans applicable to each of the two
neighborhoods generally would allow any of the three approved floor plans to be constructed on
any of the lots within their respective neighborhoods as shown on the Site Development Plan
(Attachment 2, Sheet C2).
The purpose of allowing this flexibility is to enhance sales and marketing while maintaining
sufficient diversity along the street scene. Also, the ability to plot any house on any lot will add a
more distinctive look to the neighborhood and eliminates the repetitious look of many
subdivisions. The parameters for this plotting provision would be applied as follows:
- Any single floor plan may not exceed 40% of the subdivision.
- Individual floor plans may be placed next to each other. However, only two of the same
individual floor plans may be plotted next to each other without being interrupted by a
different floor plan.
- If two of the same individual floor plans are plotted next to each other, the same
individual floor plan may not be plotted across the street from the two.
- In no case will the same architectural elevation or color scheme be allowed next to or
across the street from each other, unless they are a different individual floor plan.
These standards have been included as Condition No. 28 (Attachment 1). In addition to the
restrictions listed above, exceptions for specific lots are identified in the fit list for each lot within
the neighborhood (Attachment 2, Sheets C3 and C4). As individual plot plans are submitted for
each phase of development, the Applicant shall provide a master plotting plan for the previous
phases to ensure compliance with these standards.
The proposed project would comply with all other adopted development standards, and the
project will not block views of the protected primary ridgelines.
Floor Plans - As stated above, three floor plans are available for 81 homes in Windwood on the
smaller lots, and three floor plans are available for the 85 homes in Mariposa which are larger
homes on the larger lots. The adopted Architectural Design Standards paid special attention to
architectural massing and visual relief through varying setbacks, articulated facades, one-story
elements at the ground level, and recessed second stories.
5of12
All floor plans in both neighborhoods are two stories and provide an open plan family
room/kitchen arrangement or great room living space on the ground floor within the rear of the
house. All plans can accommodate a bedroom and a full bathroom on the ground floor in
compliance with the Universal Design Ordinance (UDO) requirements for accessible access. In
each case, these bedrooms are located at the front of the house adjacent to the entry or garage.
All homes have a recessed garage face with direct access from the garage to the living portion
of the home. For the master bedroom suite, all plans include at least one walk-in closet and
dual basin in the master bathroom. All plans are equipped with anon-wood burning fireplace.
Elevation styles for particular floor plans on specific lots may be limited as shown on the Site
Development Plan (Attachment 2, Sheet C2) due to coverage or setback restrictions.
Tables 1 and 2 show, respectively for the Windwood and Mariposa neighborhoods, the
proposed square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, available styles, and the living space
options for each of the proposed floor plans.

Architecture -The Planned Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan was adopted with
specific Architectural Design Guidelines which include a series of architectural styles: (A)
Farmhouse; (B) Cottage; (C) Shingle; (D) Folk Victorian; (E) Italianate; (F) Colonial; and (G)
Rural Contemporary.
For the Windwood and Mariposa neighborhoods in Jordan Ranch, homes are proposed in four
of the approved styles: (A) Farmhouse; (B) Cottage; (C) Shingle; and (E) Italianate. Each of the
three floor plans is offered in three of the four styles proposed. The homes are designed with
themed architectural elements integrated into the front facades and enhanced corner and rear
elevations.
All six plans present a strong one-story element to the street and recessed second story
elements to reduce mass and enhance pedestrian scale. The garage facades have been de-
emphasized with multi-panel doors, front elevation setbacks and recessed doors. The use of
multiple styles is intended to enhance the diversity of the street scene with varied roof forms,
pitches, and overhangs; window shapes and mullion variations; shutter configurations; trim
profiles; gable end treatments; exterior materials; and style-specific details.
To provide wide diversity to the exterior elevations and architectural styles, twelve color and
materials schemes are provided for the Windwood homes and for the Mariposa homes. As
discussed with the requested CUP, roof materials for the four architectural styles in each
neighborhood are proposed as flat concrete tile. The exception is the Italianate style in the
Windwood neighborhood which would be a concrete S-tile. For Windwood, the proposed colors
and materials are shown on Attachment 2, Sheets 35 through 40. For Mariposa, the proposed
colors and materials are shown on Attachment 2, Sheets A8.29 through A8.34.
Among the four styles, exterior elevations of all styles primarily are stucco or plaster finish with a
variety of siding and manufactured stone or brick elements. The Windwood neighborhood
features carriage style roll-up garage doors. Only Mariposa shows porch railings that would be
either vertical or vertical and cross railings.
The following provides an abbreviated description of each approved architectural style reflecting
the proposed exteriors in the neighborhood:
- (A) Farmhouse -The Farmhouse style is identified by steeply pitched gable roof forms
with shed roof over ground floor porches. Roof projections may have hip roofs with
varied second floor plate heights and accent dormers. Exterior accents include board-
and-batten siding and 4-inch or 8-inch lap siding with both neighborhoods utilizing brick
veneer. Exterior board-and-batten siding may be used on the upper portion of the
second floor. Windows forms are vertical, double hung, and fixed accent windows or
sliders with heavy foam frames, slat shutters, and pot shelves accents propped by
decorative corbels or box bays. Front porches are supported by wood posts with kickers
or box columns on with a brick veneer base, and porch railings with vertical lines. Eaves
are distinguished with gutter returns, and gable ends are accented with board-and-batten
siding, rake tiles, and louvered vents.
- (B) Cottage -The Cottage style is characterized by steeply pitched gable roof forms,
abbreviates hips, and shed roofs over bays and hipped or shed porch roofs. Exterior
accents include lap siding with cultured stone veneer on the ground floor walls or as a
wainscot with concrete cap. Accent windows and porch entries may be arched.
8 of 12 ~,i ,.:: <;;
Windows against stone veneer may be recessed with brick window sills. Square formed
windows may be double hung with plank shutter. Porches are supported by wooden box
columns either full height or on a stone base. Porch railings may include vertical
elements. Eaves are highlighted with barge board rafters, and gable ends are
embellished with board-and-batten or lapsiding, decorative corbels, and false vents.
- (C) Shin le -The Shingle style presents low pitched gable roof forms with gable or shed
porches. In addition to stucco, the building exteriors feature wood shake siding or shingle
siding in other forms such as diamond patterned to accent gable ends or prominent walls.
Exterior shingle siding may be used on the upper half of second floors. Rectangular
windows are framed with heavy foam trim and narrow shutters. Decorative gable end
vents are classically round, oval, or louvered, and accent windows may be oval with
keystone elements. Second floor projections are supported by decorative kickers and
corbels, and eaves are trimmed by a the rake and barge board rafters. Porch railings
may be vertical and cross railings.
- (E) Italianate -Italianate features the most stucco and, in the Windwood neighborhood, is
the only style utilizing a concrete S-tile on hip roof forms. Eaves are enclosed, and
exterior materials include stone veneer with brick accents. Ground floor levels provide for
box bay windows and round or box porch columns that are full length or placed on a
base. Entries may be arched, and mullion patterns are simple. Heavy window sills are
supported by decorative corbels. Railings between porch posts may be vertical with
cross railings.
Parking - In accordance with the development standards, each single-family home is provided,
at a minimum, with atwo-car garage. All of the units in Windwood have atwo-car garage
meeting the requirements for a total of 162 covered spaces. All three floor plans for Mariposa
are provided with athree-car garage, including one tandem space for a total of 255 covered
spaces which exceed the 170-space requirement.
For each unit, one guest space is required to be available which is proposed to be provided
curbside within the public right-of-way. Based on this standard, a minimum of 166 curbside
spaces would be needed. Attachment 2, Sheet C5, presents the calculation of required and
available parking for the Windwood and Mariposa areas combined, and identifies 265 spaces
curbside along each of the public streets within the project except where marked for traffic
safety and access by emergency vehicles. Based on the parking plan, the Windwood and
Mariposa neighborhoods would be provided with an excess of guest parking.
Landscaping/Fence Plan -The Landscaping Plan in the current submittal for Jordan Ranch
generally is consistent with the plans approved previously for SDRs in the adjacent communities
of Positano and Dublin Ranch. (See Attachment 2, Landscape Architecture tab, Sheets L-1
through L-3) The street landscaping unifies the neighborhood and integrates it with the adjacent
communities and ultimately with subsequently developed neighborhoods in Jordan Ranch.
As with the SDRs approved previously, the landscaping is proposed with trees lining the
neighborhood streets, parkways, and landscaped strips. All project streets and paths paralleling
the streets will be shaded and enhanced by trees and plantings. Hardscape elements along
with landscaping will be used to create neighborhood entries and identity.
The landscape plans in the current submittal have been prepared to reflect the building footprint
of each floor plan. In addition to the overall landscape plan for each neighborhood established
in the Stage 2 Development Plan, a typical landscape/site plan is provided for both interior and
9of12
corner lots for each of the three floor plans in both neighborhoods. The landscaping for the
parkways and the individual lots will be required to conform to the City Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance (WELO).
The plan of walls and fence designs proposed for the Windwood and Mariposa projects within
Neighborhood 1 conform to a hierarchy that is consistent with Design Standards approved
previously with the Stage 2 Development Plan.
As with the other communities in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, the fence plan takes
into consideration retaining walls and lattice-top fences of an appropriate height where
necessary and as the interface between adjacent properties on the upslope, the down slopes,
and/or abutting public right-of-way. A "community theme wall" specific to Jordan Ranch is
proposed to be constructed along Fallon Road and Positano Parkway on the westerly boundary.
Affordable Housing/inclusionary Zoning -The previous land owner, BJ-ROF Jordan Ranch
LLC worked with City Staff and the City Council to establish alternative methods for providing
inclusionary housing for all of Jordan Ranch. Therefore, there is no requirement of this
developer to provide inclusionary housing.
Public Art Compliance -The proposed project is subject to "Chapter 8.58 Public Art Program"
of the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance. The Ordinance allows public art installations subject to
an established value or payment of an in-lieu fee. An appropriate Condition of Approval has
been applied to this project. (See Attachment 1, Condition No. 29, pages 12 and 13)
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." PA 09-011 approved in 2010 established the Stage 2 Planned
Development Zoning and Development Standards. The current SDR request would be
consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation and
Planned Development zoning determined at that time when the project was initially approved.
The Conditional Use Permit to modify the roof materials from composition to concrete the will be
consistent with architectural standards elsewhere in Dublin.
The proposed project has been reviewed for conformance with the Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan and represents the first phase of Jordan Ranch (PA
09-011). Elements approved as part of the Fallon Village planning area include pathways,
gathering spaces, open spaces, and a village concept. Brookfield Homes intends to exceed the
City of Dublin Green Building Ordinance (See Attachment 3) and will exceed the 50 point
threshold in the City's program. In general, the proposed project will further the goals of the
Community Design and Sustainability Element of the General Plan by providing a high quality of
life and preserving resources and opportunities for future generations.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENTS 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 1).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed project is part of the larger project known as Fallon Village (formerly known as the
Eastern Dublin Property Owners, or EDPO). In 2002, a number of owners in Eastern Dublin
filed applications for annexation of portions of the current project site to the City and to the
Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD.) At that time, the City prepared and certified a
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (SCH # 2001052114, Resolution 40-02) for
that project. The SEIR was a supplement to the 1993 Eastern Dublin EIR certified by the City
Council on May 10, 1993 (SCH # 91103064, Resolution 51-930). Both the 1993 EIR and 2002
SEIR are incorporated herein by reference.
The Fallon Village project proposed in 2005 (for PA 04-040) included a specific proposal for the
Braddock and Logan properties (PA 05-038), now referenced as Positano. Based on the results
of an Initial Study, the City prepared a Draft SEIR to the 1993 and 2002 EIRs which was
circulated for public review from August 23, 2005 through October 6, 2005 (SCH #2005062010).
A Final SEIR dated October 2005 containing written responses to all comments received on the
Draft SEIR and was reviewed and certified by the City Council on December 6, 2005 by
Resolution No. 222-05. Significant unavoidable impacts were identified in these EIR's that
required the City Council to adopt Statements of Overriding Considerations with the approval of
each EIR.
The proposed SDR and CUP 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.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution approving a Site Development Review for 166
single-family residential units for the Windwood and Mariposa
neighborhoods on approximately 31 acres (portions of Tracts
8024, 8073 and 8074) within Neighborhood 1 of Jordan
Ranch in Fallon Village, and a Conditional Use Permit to
amend the Stage 2 Development Plan regarding approved
roof materials.
