WHEREAS, on June 22, 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance 14-10 approving a
Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and BJP ROF Jordan Ranch LLC (Mission

Conditional Use Permit for the 166 units within the Windwood and Mariposa neighborhoods of
Jordan Ranch; and
WHEREAS, the Project is in the General Plan Eastern Extended Planning Area and the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, for which the City Council certified a Program Environmental
Impact Report by Resolution 51-93 ("Eastern Dublin EIR" or "EDEIR", SCH 91103064) on May 10,
1993 (incorporated herein by reference). The Eastern Dublin EIR identified significant impacts
from development of the Eastern Dublin area, some of which could not be mitigated to less than
significant. Upon approval of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, the
City Council adopted mitigations, a mitigation monitoring program and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations (Resolution 53-93, incorporated herein by reference); and
WHEREAS, the City prepared a Supplemental EIR in 2002 for the 1,120-acre East Dublin
Property Owners (EDPO) project in Eastern Dublin, including the Jordan Ranch property ("2002
SEIR", SCH # 2001052114). The 2002 SEIR assessed the impacts of annexing these properties
to the City of Dublin and the Dublin San Ramon Services District, detaching the properties from
the Livermore Area Parks and Recreation District, prezoning the properties to the PD-Planned
Development district and adopting a related Stage 1 Development Plan for future development of

Village project, consisting of a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan amendment, and a
PD-rezoning and revised Stage 1 Development Plan for the same properties as the EDPO project,
including the Jordan Ranch site. The second SEIR ("2005 SEIR", SCH #2005062010) was
certified on December 5, 2005 by City Council Resolution No. 222-05. The 2005 SEIR analyzed
the revised Stage 1 Development Plan, including a maximum of 1,064 units on the Jordan Ranch
site, at a programmatic level anticipating that the analysis would be used for approval of future
development projects unless project or other changes were to require additional environmental
review under CEQA section 21166 and related CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 and 15163; and
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 80-10 approving an
Addendum to the 2002 SEIR and 2005 SEIR prepared pursuant to California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) relating to the PD-Planned Development Stage 2 Development Plan which
included a reduction in the number of units approved previously for Jordan Ranch from 1,064 units
to 780 units. The Addendum and Resolution found that the Project impacts had been adequately
addressed in previously certified EIRs and that no further environmental review would be required;
and
WHEREAS, this Site Development Review (SDR) encompassing the Windwood and
Mariposa neighborhoods within Phase 1 of Jordan Ranch, is in compliance with the previous
environmental documents referenced above, and
Page 2 of 24
WHEREAS, the application and all of the above resolutions, ordinances, the Addendum,
Initial Study, Eastern Dublin EIR, 2002 SEIR, and 2005 SEIR are incorporated by reference and

Development Department, Dublin City Hall, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, CA.
WHEREAS, in accordance with Chapter 8.32.080 of the Zoning Ordinance, 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; and
WHEREAS, on December 13, 2011, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on
said applications for this project; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by
law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission
approve the Site Development Review for the 166 detached single family residential units for two
neighborhoods known as Windwood and Mariposa within Neighborhood 1 of Jordan Ranch, and
the Conditional Use Permit amending the Planned Development Stage 2 Development Plan
adopting concrete the roof materials in place of composition previously approved on page 18 of 50
of Ordinance 13-10, (page 2-14 of the adopted Architectural Standards); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.
