immediately north and east of the project site to serve as a regional open park accessible from
Dublin (See Attachment 2). On December 2, 2011, Mayor Sbranti wrote to the East 'Bay
Regional Parks District (EBRPD) documenting a meeting wherein the Mayor, EBRPD General
Manager Robert Doyle, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, State
Senator Mark DeSaulnier and Braddock & Logan representatives met to discuss the potential
benefits of the offer of dedication of open space and in this letter expressing the City's desire to
work with Braddock and Logan and East Bay Regional Parks District to create this regional park
(Attachment 3). Staff continues to be actively involved in these discussions to make the
proposed regional park a reality.
The City Council, at their meeting of December 18, 2012, approved the General Plan and
.Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments to change the land use from Medium Density
Residential to Single-Family Residential on a 226.3 acre project area known as Moller Ranch

Report.
The City Council also waived the reading and introduced an Ordinance to adopt a Planned
Development Rezone with related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan consistent with the
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Amendments. The proposed Stage 1
and Stage 2 Development Plan is consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
(Chapter 8.32-Planned Development Zoning). With the proposed PD Amendments, residential
development standards would be adopted for the project site so that the subdivision would be
consistent with the existing single-family residential development south of the project site,
including lot size, frontage setbacks, coverage, usable outdoor areas, building heights parking
and grading standards. The Ordinance approving the Planned Development Rezone and
related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for Moller Ranch is included as Attachment 4.

DESCRIPTION:
Background:
The Moller Ranch project lies to the east of Tassajara Road within the EDSP area (as shown on
the Vicinity map below). The Project site is characterized by.a small generally flat valley (known
as Casamira Valley) formed by Moller Creek, a tributary of Tassajara Creek, that flows in the
southwesterly direction with moderate to steep hillsides north and south of the creek. The
Project site has slopes which range from less than 5%, adjacent to the creek corridor, to more
than 60% along the north facing slopes at the eastern end of the property. The course of the
creek is lined with vegetated and unvegetated wetlands. The creek continues west beyond the
property line where it empties into Tassajara Creek.
Historical and existing uses within the project area include cattle grazing; two existing single-
family residences and several agricultural outbuildings that are located near the creek that will
be removed as part of the project. No grading has occurred on site except for dirt access roads,
improvements to the Tassajara Road right-of-way, and related drainage improvements for
Moller Creek at the westerly edge.
The use of the surrounding properties is as follows:
- To the north - the unincorporated rural, agricultural, and utility property (part of the greater
Moller Ranch) in Contra Costa County, including a recently constructed PG&E substation.
- To the east - unincorporated rural/agricultural property in Alameda County, also part of the
greater Moller Ranch.
- To the south -
Along the southwesterly boundary, the project known as Fallon Crossing which is a
residential development of 106 single-family and duet units (under construction).
• Along the southeasterly boundary, the project known as Redgewick, Dublin Ranch North,
(PA 08-045), which includes 4 custom residential lots and 127 acres of conserved open
space.
- To the west across Tassajara Road - vacant/agricultural.

On May 15, 2007, General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments'were adopted
(Resolution 58-07), and Planned Development prezoning with a related Stage 1 Development
Plan for 298 attached and detached units was adopted (Ordinance 09-07, PA 06-030) for Moller
Ranch (formerly known as Casamira Valley). These land uses and zoning remain in effect
today and are further discussed below. Moller Ranch was subsequently annexed to the City of
Dublin May 1, 2007 (Resolution 59-07).
A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared to address potential
environmental impacts resulting from the proposed plan for Moller Ranch. The SEIR, State
Clearinghouse (SCH) #2005052146, was certified by the City Council on May 1, 2007
(Resolution No. 56-07). The SEIR, specifically evaluated as "The Project," for the construction
of 209 units divided between 195 single-family detached residential lots and 14 duet or paired
units developed with a loop road system for the 226.3-acre Moller Ranch property.
On January 17, 2012, the City Adopted Resolution 07-12 approving a General Plan and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan Amendment Initiation Study based on the current proposal.
Project Description/Current Proposal:
The Applicant, Braddock and Logan, is requesting approval of General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan Amendments to change the land use designations for the site, Planned
Development rezoning with related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, a Development
Agreement and a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR).
ANALYSIS:
The goal of this project is to create the ambiance of a new community built around the relics of
historic agricultural use. The theme envisions a charming, tranquil community and premier
residential haven nestled within the hills of the City of Dublin surrounded by hundreds of acres
of regional parkland. The proposed access and circulation system links the project to Tassajara
Road and the greater Dublin community via a meandering creekside collector road, divided in
elevation in certain locations by 10 foot wide median. The character of the community is rooted
in the history and natural features of the setting. As a reflection of California's agrarian and
ranch heritage, the project will feature vineyards, olive groves, dry stack stone walls, and
farmstead artifacts throughout the community to convey a historic farmstead legacy.
The majority of the proposed development is located on the flatter portions of the site away from
Tassajara Road and generally adjacent to the creek corridor. The grading proposed for the
project will take into consideration the hilly terrain and is designed to avoid excessive grading.
The proposed community will blend with the natural features unique to the site through the use
of design and planning. The project includes three neighborhoods defined by one of three lot
sizes and will allow a variety of housing product types and price ranges. The clustering of
residential units will allow for continuity of the open space area and more effective utilization of
the property.

General Plan & Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment
The Applicant requests approval of a General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment
to change the existing land use designations. The proposed amendments would result in a
project entirely of single-family homes (as opposed to the currently approved single-family and
multi-family development). The requested amendments to the General Plan and the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan are shown in Table 1, below.

NI This table shows the maximum units under the General and Specific Plan ranges. The Stage 2 Development
Plan and Vesting Tentative Map 8102 propose a total of 370 single-family detached units.
The Applicant has requested the Single-Family Residential land use in place of Medium Density
Residential as a better design alternative to preserve and to take advantage of the natural
features of the site. This will also allow a better option for providing each unit with usable
private yard area. At a maximum, the density distributed over the Single-Family Residential and
RurallResidential/Agriculture land uses would allow up to 479 units. However, the Applicant is
proposing to develop only 370 homes (4.65 units per acre). Although the Rural
Residential/Agricultural (RR/A) land use designation would allow the construction of one
residential dwelling unit (1 unit/100 acres), the Applicant is not proposing to construct or retain
any dwelling units in this area and a conservation easement will be enacted on a majority of the
land designated RR/A to preserve the site's natural resources. The cap on the number of units
within the proposed development envelope will ensure that the grading on the site is minimized
and the hillsides are protected. . •
Open space and preservation represents a significant theme of the Moller Ranch project. The
Open Space land use designation includes the natural drainage corridor (Moller Creek) from the
project site boundary (city limits) in the northeast to the culvert underpass at Tassajara Road on
- the west. Open space areas and portions of the open space within the RR/A area, including any
detention basins, are proposed to be owned, managed, and maintained by the HOA or a
conservation management organization GHAD or-land trust.

•
The proposed 1.1-acre Neighborhood Park would be located on the north side of the stream
corridor. The neighborhood park will be owned and operated by the City of Dublin.
The 1.2 acres shown as Semi-Public use is the total area of a pedestrian trail system running a
distance of 2,920 feet from the trailhead at Tassajara Road to the northerly project boundary. It
also includes a limited public parking area of approximately 25 spaces serving an adjacent regional
trailhead staging area to the Regional Wilderness Park and PG&E facilities to the north within •
Contra Costa County.
The project proposal includes related amendments to the various figures, texts, and tables in the
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to ensure consistency throughout the
documents. A Resolution approving a General Plan Amendment and an Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan Amendment for the Moller Ranch project is included as Attachment 1.
Planned Development Zoning
The application includes a Stage 1 Development Plan that would replace the existing Stage 1
Development Plan approved in 2007 (Ordinance 09-07). The proposal includes requirements
per Zoning Code Section 8.32.040.A. The Stage 1 Development Plan is revised to be
consistent with the proposed General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use
Amendments. The application also includes a Stage 2 Development Plan. The Stage 2
Development Plan meets the Zoning Ordinance requirements in 8.32.040.B. The Stage 2
Development Plan identifies the layout by proposed lots/parcels along with the Development
Regulations and Architectural Design Guidelines/Standards for specific uses by the type of lot.
The residential uses include 3 lot types with 9 architectural styles among them. A second
dwelling unit would be permitted in neighborhoods having lots of 5,000 square feet or greater,
only. No more than one (1) second dwelling unit is permitted per lot and requires one additional
off-street parking space; 3`d car, tandem or uncovered space would be permitted to satisfy that
requirement.
Based on the proposed density for the proposed acreage by use, a maximum of 479 units could
be developed. However, the SEIR analyzes a maximum of 382 units, and the proposed
development plan allows a maximum of only 370 units on single-family detached lots at an
overall density of 4.65 units per acre.
Further and more specific development standards, including a Master Infrastructure and
Phasing plan, are described in the Stage 2 Development Plan.
Site Plan - The Project has extensive frontage along Tassajara Road, a City and County
designated scenic highway, with standards for preserving views of scenic ridgelines and knolls
from the corridor. In compliance with these standards, no development is proposed near
Tassajara Road with the nearest residence located at least 1,400 feet from the primary entry
road. Tassajara Road currently is a two-lane road extending northward from Dublin Ranch to
the Contra Costa County line. However, the General Plan anticipates that it,eventually will be
expanded to its full width of six lanes. A precise alignment has been approved by the City of
Dublin. However, on-going discussions have been held with Contra Costa County about the
realignment and location of the connection at the county line. .
The project is accessed from a main entry road located along the east side of Tassajara Road
north of Fallon Road. This road follows the natural drainage way with branching loop streets or

Development Regulations - Development regulations and site development standards would be
adopted as part of the Stage 2 Development Plan. The Development Regulations proposed for
Moller Ranch are similar to those established for other single-family detached units within the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The Development. Regulations and Site Development
Standards include minimum lot area and dimensions, minimum lot frontage and depth, minimum
setbacks (for front, rear, and sideyards), maximum building height, maximum lot coverage,
minimum distance between buildings, common outdoor areas, minimum private outdoor areas,
allowable setback encroachments, parking, driveways, signage, trash enclosures, and grading
standards, accompanied .by any necessary diagrams. See Exhibit A to Attachment 2
(Ordinance for Stage 1 & Stage 2 Development Plan, Pages 7 and 8) for a comprehensive list of
Development Regulations.
1
Parking - In accordance with the development standards in much of the Eastern Dublin Specific
• Plan Area, each single-family home in Moller Ranch would be provided with a two-car garage at
a minimum. In addition, all units are required to provide one guest space which may be located -
Page 6 of 12
curbside along public or private right-of-way except where marked for traffic safety and access
by emergency vehicles or within a driveway with sufficient depth. Side-entry (swing-in) and
three-car garages would be permitted only on lots having a minimum width of 55 feet with side-
entry garages requiring a minimum of 28 feet of back-up area.
Architectural Style Guidelines/Standards — The residential architecture for this Stage 2
Development Plan has been designed with themes to complement the natural environment and
the area's agricultural heritage. The Architectural Design Guidelines/Standards are divided into
three sections: Architectural Criteria (details), Plotting (and massing), and Architectural Styles
which allow for nine (9) different styles. The proposed styles would be applied at a later date to
the floor plans presented for approval with a subsequent Site Development Review approval.
• Architectural Criteria - Floor plans are not included as part of the Architectural Design
Guidelines. Standards require a minimum of 4 floor plans for projects of 76 Units or more
with an additional plan for each incremental of 30 above 131. Plans would be required to
present a strong one-story element to the street and recessed second story. The
Guidelines included for roof form and architectural massing forms are proposed for visual
relief to reduce mass and enhance pedestrian scale. Such elements would include:
o Articulation of wall planes
o Projections and recesses to provide shadow and depth
o Combinations of one and two story forms ••-
o Porches and courtyards
As part of these standards, the second floor would be prohibited from completely
covering the first floor without incorporating second floor recessed elements or first floor
single-story elements along the front.
• Plotting - Typically, for projects approved within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area, a
plotting matrix/fit list would be submitted with the Site Development Review. To create a
distinctive look to the neighborhood and eliminate the repetition while allowing flexibility to
enhance sales and marketing, placement of specific floor plans and architectural styles
would be limited within specific parameters.
•
• Architectural Styles - The styles are 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. Architectural elements will be required to be articulated on all elevations
of each building, especially on corner lots, with fully wrapped or enhanced elevations on
structures visible from public right-of-way as shown and plotted within the architectural
guidelines. To provide wide diversity to the exterior elevations and architectural styles,
the exteriors also would rely on color to differentiate among exterior planes. At least 60%
of the plans will have a second story that recesses at least 5 feet for 20% of the front
facade, and at rear elevations there shall be a minimum 5-foot horizontal or vertical offset
in the plan. For phases of over 130 units, the architectural guidelines are required to
provide no less than 5 color schemes and 10 garage door types. A color and materials
board is not included with the. current architectural Guidelines, but will be incorporated -
and adopted as part of the Site Development Review.
The nine architectural styles proposed for this project are described in Exhibit B to Attachment
2, Architectural Guidelines, Pages 15-32.
Page 7 of 12
Landscaping, Streetscape, and Fence Plan — The Application includes a Master Landscape and
Streetscape plan which addresses typical lot layout, plant palette, hardscape improvements,
street improvements, entry monuments, parks and trails, open space, and the stream corridor,
including bank stabilization, drainage, and water quality improvements. The development
concept for the area strives to preserve the natural environment and create a community that is
compatible with the natural terrain.
The landscape and streetscape design is centered on the natural drainage area or creek as a
fundamental part and focal point of a 10-foot wide meandering community trail that could
integrate with the East Bay Regional Park District trail system. The trail within Moller Ranch is
punctuated with meadows, vista points, public art, interpretive signage, selective seating, and
other features designed to preserve and protect the natural environment which is included in
Exhibit A to Attachment 2, Landscape Guidelines, pages 30-36. At the creek crossing, a
decorative head wall houses the culvert and an ornamental railing provides a pedestrian lookout
down the riparian corridor. The trail meanders adjacent to the Neighborhood Park before linking
with the regional trail system to the north. Sidewalks also are provided throughout the project.
In compliance with water quality standards, a series of detention basins would be integrated into
the open space.
In addition to the pedestrian trail system, the main entry road at Tassajara Road is flanked by a
hillside on the north and meanders along the creek to the south. This road is designed with two
20-foot wide drive aisles on either side of a 10-foot wide landscaped median. After the one
creek crossing near the Neighborhood Park, the road becomes a 36-foot wide neighborhood
entry! road eventually narrowing to a neighborhood spine road that bisects the main
neighborhood area and serves as a collector for the neighborhood streets.
The main entry road is located and marked with enhanced pavement north of Fallon Road near
the point where the Moller Creek passes under Tassajara Road to connect with Tassajara
Creek. In keeping with the historic agricultural theme, small flowering orchard-style trees would
be planted in the median and windrow segments along the north side. Rambling roses, terraced
olive groves, and vineyard plantings distinguish the project entry. A detention area serves as a
seasonal pond and would be constructed as part of the culvert relocation. Other theme
elements at the entry include a theme wall with ranch logo, stone monolith, boulder rubble, and
project entry structure (enclosed pump house) clad with a synthetic rustic dry stacked stone.
As the main road interfaces with the neighborhoods and approaches the creek crossing, the
. landscape features a shade tree canopy, riparian trees, vineyard plantings, and an evergreen
tree buffer to screen the homes while retaining views beyond to the creek. Enhanced paving
marks the pedestrian crossings to the Neighborhood Park and regional trail system. In all, there
are seven neighborhood entries sited along the various segments of the.primary road. The goal
of these entries is to highlight each area with stone monoliths, low stone walls, decorative
lighting, signage, and plantings.. Vineyard plantings and trellis systems for the vines will be
strategically located throughout the project.
•
After crossing the creek the road becomes the entry point to the main neighborhood area. This
location is surrounded by a series of detention basins capturing runoff from hillsides to the
south. Additional vineyard plantings, low stone walls, and boulder rubble define this junction.
As-the neighborhood spine climbs up the grade and branches into the neighborhood streets,
windrow and flowering trees flank this route leading to the topmost detention basin protected by
a landscape buffer.
Page 8 of 12
•
In order to ensure adequate emergency vehicle access to all portions of the site, emergency
access roads are located along the residential interface with the open space (Rural
Residential/Agriculture) area while numerous trail heads at cul-de-sacs and other locations
would be located at points along the access roads eventually linking to the trail system. This
road also serves as a fire buffer. The neighborhood street abutting the open area north of the
creek and the neighborhood street serving the park and trailhead staging area would be
designed and landscaped to enhance those amenities. These entry points would be highlighted
by thematic low stone walls parallel to the sidewalk connected with an ornamental iron fence to
separate the trailhead area from private yards. A removable bollard would be located for
emergency vehicle access at these locations.
A hierarchy of fence types, including theme walls and other functional fences are shown with the
plans. The walls and fences for the Moller Ranch project are designed to minimize visual
impact and obstruction of enjoyment of the surrounding open space. Therefore, where fences
and walls are required, they are designed to be semi-transparent or screened by landscaping.
Relative to the topography of the Project Site, the fence plan takes into consideration retaining
walls and view fencing where appropriate.
The plans also include a palette of plant materials, street furnishings, signage, landscape
accessories, and utility screening. Such extensive open space within and surrounding the
residential community also requires a management plan for those areas to be dedicated to the
City, held in common by the homeowners association (HOA), or managed by a special district.
In addition to the overall landscape plan for the Moller Ranch project area, the Landscape Plans
and Development Regulations include a typical landscape plan and site layout for both interior
and corner lots reflecting each of the three residential lot sizes proposed. The landscaping for
the parkways and the individual lots will be required to conform to the City Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance. •
All proposed uses are consistent with the permitted uses approved by the Stage 1 Development
Plan, and proposed densities remain within the standards. A Resolution recommending the City
Council adopt an Ordinance approving the Planned Development Rezone and related Stage 1
and Stage 2 Development Plan for the Moller Ranch project is included as Attachment 2.
Affordable Housing/Inclusionary Zoning - The proposed project is subject to the City's
Inclusionary Housing requirements. This provision requires new residential projects to provide
12.5% of the units within the new residential project as affordable. Based on the total number of
units, 46 units would be required to meet the affordability standards. The affordable housing
component will be addressed in a separate affordable housing agreement prior to recordation of
the final subdivision map.
Public Art Compliance — The proposed project is subject to compliance with the City's Public
Art Ordinance. The Ordinance requires the Applicant's contribution to be .5% of the aggregate
value of the home construction to be determined and calculated by the City's Building Official.
This calculation would be made and compliance exhibits developed at a later time in conjunction
with the Site Development Review. An exhibit showing potential locations for public art along
The open space corridor is located in Exhibit A to Attachment 2, Landscape Guidelines, page 34.

Development Agreement
Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) require a Development Agreement
between the City of Dublin and the Developer. California Government Code §§ 65864 et seq.
and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code (hereafter "Chapter 8.56") authorize the City to
enter into an agreement for the development of real property with any person having a legal or
equitable interest in such property in order to obtain certain commitments and establish certain
development rights for the property. The Development Agreement must be approved prior to
recordation of the final Tract Map and issuance of building permits for the development of the
property.
Development Agreements are approved by an Ordinance of the City Council upon
recommendation by the Planning Commission. The proposed Development Agreement was
drafted with input from City Staff, the project Applicant, property owner, and the City Attorney
based on the standard Development Agreement prepared by the City Attorney and adopted by
the City Council for projects located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area.
The Development Agreement provides security to the developer that the City will not change its
zoning and other laws applicable to the project. The Development Agreement becomes
effective for a term of five (5) years from the date of the signing of the agreement. This
document is a contract that establishes obligations for meeting the goals of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and guarantees timing for construction of public infrastructure and facilities for the
project area. Additionally, it ensures that dedications of property and easements are made,
project phasing is followed, appropriate fees are paid for the development, and any additional
terms of the agreement are carried out as development proceeds. The proposed Development
Agreement also would be consistent with the previous development agreements.
An Ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and Braddock &
Logan Services for the Moller Ranch project is included as Attachment 4 with the Development
Agreement attached as Exhibit A.

CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLAN & ZONING ORDINANCE
The application includes a request for Planned Development rezoning with a Stage 1 and Stage
2 Development Plan consistent with the proposed land use amendments under the General
Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Planned Development zoning including
Development Regulations would be applicable to Vesting Tentative Map 8102.
The proposed project has been reviewed for conformance with the Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan. 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. The Project will be
required to adhere to the City of Dublin Green Building Ordinance which will be determined at
the Site Development Review stage.
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
Ordinances and Regulations, Conditions of Approval from these departments and agencies
were included in the Planning Commission Resolution 12-45 the Vesting Tentative Map included
as Attachment 3.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In accordance with State law, a Public Notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the proposed project. A Public Notice was also 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project Site is in Eastern Dublin for which the City adopted the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment and Specific Plan to provide a comprehensive planning framework. for future
development of the area. In connection with this approval, the City certified a program
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168 (SCH:
91103064, Resolution 51-93, and Addendum dated August 22, 1994, hereafter "Eastern Dublin
EIR") that is available for review in the Planning Division and is incorporated herein by
reference. In connection with a prior project on the Moller Ranch site, the City certified the
Casamira Valley/Moller Ranch Project Supplemental EIR ("Casamira EIR") pursuant to CEQA
• section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 and 15163 (SCH # 2005052146) and
adopted supplemental mitigation measures, a Mitigation Monitoring Program and Statement of
Overriding Considerations through Resolutions 56-07 and 58-07, dated May 1, 2007 and
incorporated herein by reference. •
•
The City prepared and circulated a Draft Supplemental EIR dated September 2012 (SCH No.
2005052146) for the Project. The Draft Supplemental EIR confirmed that many of the Project
impacts were addressed in the prior EIRs, whose mitigation measures continue to apply to the
Project, as applicable. The Supplemental EIR review focused on traffic and biological
Page 11 of 12
resources. A number of supplemental traffic impacts were identified, most of which can be
mitigated to less than significant; however, some would remain significant and unavoidable as
noted in the attached resolutions and findings. Upon further review, staff determined that one of
the traffic mitigations identified in the Draft Supplemental EIR would be infeasible. That
mitigation, SM-TRA-1-12, calls for removal of a crosswalk at the Hacienda Drive/Dublin
Boulevard intersection. Removing the crosswalk would be inconsistent with the City's adopted
complete-streets policy. Also, the intersection is just over one-half mile from the Eastern Dublin
BART station and adjoins the transit-oriented Dublin Transit Center, which is a Priority
Development Area as designated by ABAG. The intersection is bordered by high-density
residential, commercial, office and retail uses that are expected to generate sighificant
pedestrian activity at buildout. Removing the crosswalk would also pose safety concerns in light
of the expected heavy pedestrian traffic that would likely attempt to cross the street even without
a marked crosswalk. No other feasible mitigations are identified for the intersection impacts;
therefore, the impact will be significant and unavoidable. All of the supplemental biological
resources impacts can be mitigated to less than significant. Following the required 45 day
public review period, the City prepared a Final Supplemental EIR containing written responses
to all comments received during the public review period, which responses provide the City's
good, faith, reasoned analysis of the environmental issues raised by the commenters. The prior
EIRs together with the Project Draft and Final Supplemental EIR documents adequately identify
and analyze the potential environmental impacts of the Project, are incorporated herein by
reference and are available for review during normal business hours in the Planning Division at
City Hall.

RE: General Plan AmendmentRenuesi
Dear Jerk
Pursuant to your letter of December 9, 2011, please consider this a formal request for a General Plan
Amendment for the property known as the Moller(Richey-Banter). The Moller property is located west of
Tassajara Road,immediately south of the City's northern boundary and contains 226 ones.
Specifically, this request is to change the General Plan Designation of the Moller property from Medium
Density Residential(6-14 dwelling hmita per acre)to Low Density Residential(0-6 dwelling units per acre).
The proposed laud use designation changes would accomplish the following(1)create a distinct master plan
commmity that would be unique to the City; (2) offer for dedication approximately 1,765 acres of open
space for the potential creation of a regional open park accessible from Dublin; and (3) reconstruct the
Tassajara Road crossing which would stabilize and facilitate the widening of a regional road and the water
and sewer Infrastructure contained within it.
•
We appreciate Staffs commitment to expeditiously complete the entitlement and mvaoumental review
process prior to the conclusion of 2012. As we have discussed, it is essential that the processing of this
project be completed in this time flame. In response to City Staff time commitment,we in turn will maim
all the nreentry resources available to the City to ensure that this project�turns into a reality. Thank you for _
considering mfr request,please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

RE.: Meeting regarding the creation of the Dublin Regional Open Space
Mr.,Doyle
I wanted to thank you for the meeting with State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Tom Torlakson, State Senator Mark DeSaulnier Staff, representatives
from Braddock and Logan, and myself to discuss the potential creation of a regional
• open space area within and adjacent to the City of Dublin. As we discussed at the
meeting, Braddock and Logan is proposing a residential development project within
the 'City of Dublin, and in conjunction with the development, has offered
approximately 1,756 acres of open space to the District. The open space is located
within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties and is immediately adjacent to the
District's recent acquisition of the 640 acre Schmitz property. The combined total of
the new open space area would be almost 2,500 acres and would be accessible from
Dublin as well as from Camino Tassajara within southern Contra Costa County. In
exchange for the open space dedication, Braddock and Logan has requested the
• District fund the endowment for the permanent conservation of the property; as may
City Council be required by the State and Federal regulatory agencies. Although the endowment
(925)833.6650 amount is not known at this time, as we discussed it is anticipated to be less than

("Tassajara Interchange Improvements") and the I-580/Fallon Road & El Charra
Road Interchange ("Fallon Interchange Improvements") (collectively the
"Interchange Improvements") were constructed in order to facilitate development
in the Eastern Dublin, which includes the Property. City has previously entered •
• into agreements for funding the construction of the Interchange Improvements
with developers of property within the City. Pursuant to the Tassajara
Interchange funding agreements, developers advanced the funding necessary to
the City for improvement of the Tassajara Interchange Improvements. The Lin
Family has advanced monies to the City needed for the Fallon Interchange
•Improvements. All of the funding agreements require the City to seek •

Subsection i. Fallon Interchange Fee Advance.
•
Dublin/Moller RE Investors, LLC Development Agreement Page 3 of 5
for the Moller Ranch Project—Exhibit B
The Developer shall advance its fair share portion of costs advanced for
construction of improvements to the Fallon Road/I-580 Interchange. The advance
will be payable at the time of filing of the first final map. The advance required is
based on the total amount advanced to the City by the Lin Family that remains
outstanding at the time that the advance is made, multiplied by the fair share
percentage of 1.5547%. The fair share percentage (1.5547%) was calculated by
determining the percentage that the Project's trips bears to the total trips
responsible for the interchange. The amount of the advance shall be calculated
using the then-outstanding balance as of the first final map. In the event multiple
maps are filed the full amount due shall be collected with the first map.
As of October 2, 2012, the total amount advanced by the Lin Family that
remained outstanding was $7,226,450. Since the advance does not bear
interest, and since the Lin Family will not be making an additional advances, it is
not anticipated that the amount outstanding would increase. Thus, were the
advance made on October 2, 2012, it would have been $112,349.62.
Subsection ii. Tassajara Interchange Fee Advance.
The Developer shall advance its fair share portion of costs advanced by
the developers for construction of improvements to the Tassajara Road/I-580
Interchange. The advance will be payable at the time of filing of the first final
map. The advance required is based on the total amount advanced to the City
by the Lin Family that remains outstanding at the time that the advance is made,
multiplied by the fair share percentage of 1.2907%. The fair share percentage
(1.2907%) was calculated by determining the percentage that the project's trips
bears to the total trips responsible for the interchange. The amount shall be
calculated using the then-outstanding balance as of the first final map. In the
event multiple maps are filed the full amount due shall be collected with the first
map; .
•
As of June 30, 2012, the total amount advanced by other developers that
remained outstanding was $3,954,841 Since the advance does not bear interest,
and since the developers will not be making an additional advances, it is not
• anticipated that the amount outstanding would increase. Thus, were the advance
made on June 30, 2012, it would have been $51,294.42.
Subsection iii. TIF Credits for Advances.
City will provide a credit to Developer in the amount of Developer's
advances under subsections i and ii above to be used by Developer against
payment of certain obligations of the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee ("TIF").

credit shall require the payment of an administrative fee. The use of credits .
Dublin/Moller RE Investors, LLC Development Agreement Page 4 of 5
for the Moller Ranch Project—Exhibit B
(including limitations on the use of credits) and manner of conversion of the credit
to a right of reimbursement will be as set forth in the City's TIF Guidelines,
subject to the following provisions: (a) the credit shall be granted at the time
Developer makes the advance required by this condition; (b) the credit created
as a result of the payment required by Subsection i may be used only to satisfy
Section 1 TIF obligations; and (c) the credit created as a result of the payment
required by Subsection ii may be used only to satisfy Section 2 TIF obligations.
Subsection b. Fire Impact Fee Advance
The City is party to an agreement with DR Acquisitions, LLC, dated
October 16, 2001, whereby DR Acquisitions, LLC advanced funds to the City for
the construction of Fire Station 18. The agreement obligates the City to seek
payments from applicants for land use entitlements to reimburse DR Acquisitions
for their fair share of DR Acquistions's advance. Pursuant thereto, the Developer
shall, prior to the first final map, make an payment to City calculated as follows:
The total amount advanced to the Fire Facilities Fee Program by DR
Acquisitions, LLC and the City General Fund that still remain outstanding at the
time that the advance is made shall be multiplied by the percentage of acreage
(6.87%) that the Property (226.3 acres) bears to the total acreage of the Eastern
Dublin area (3293.13 acres). The payment required hereto will be used by the
City to reimburse DR Acquisitions, LLC for its advance of costs to the Fire
Facilities Fee program to construct and equip the new Eastern Dublin fire station
(Fire Station 18) and to reimburse the City General Fund for its loan of funds to
the Fire Facilities Fee program for Fire Station 17 Construction.
The total amount advanced was $8,138,163 (consisting of$5,996,345
advanced by DR Acquisition and $2,141,818 advanced by the City General
Fund). The calculated amount of the advances outstanding as of June 30, 2012
is $4,221,052 (consisting of$2,862,137.80 advanced by DR Acquisitions and
$1,358,914.47 advanced by the City General Fund). This outstanding amount is
lower than the total advance because it excludes credits transferred by DR
Acquisitions, LLC to other entities and because the City General Fund loan has
been repaid as Fire Facilities Fees have been collected. However, because the
City loan is interest bearing, the amount outstanding could possibly increase as
well as decrease. Thus, for illustrative purposes, had the advance been made in
July 2012, it would have been $289,986.27. The amount shall be calculated
using the then-outstanding balance as of the first final map. In the event multiple
• maps are filed the full amount clue shall be collected with the first map.
City will provide a credit against the Fire Facilities Fee to developer in the
amount of developer's advance of monies pursuant to this condition. Developer
Dublin/Moller RE Investors, LLC Development Agreement Page 5 of 5
for the Moller Ranch Project—Exhibit B
shall be responsible for the payment of an Administrative Fee to establish the
credit. The credit may be used by developer against payment of Fire Facilities
Fee on this property or any property where Developer has an interest in the City
of Dublin. The amount of the credit, once established, shall not be increased for
inflation and shall not accrue interest. The credits with written notice to City, and
payment of an administrative fee, may be transferred by developer to another
developer of land in Dublin.
