WHEREAS, the Applicant, Eden Housing Inc, has requested approval of a General Plan
Amendment, an Amendment to the Downtown Core Specific Plan, PD-Planned Development Rezoning,
Tentative Parcel Map, and Site Development Review to construct up to 54 multi-family senior apartment

WHEREAS, a complete application for the above noted entitlement request is available and on
file in the Department of Community Development; and
WHEREAS, Applicant/Developer has submitted project plans and exterior elevations dated
received on April 30, 2003, for a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, Planned
Development Rezoning, Site Development Review and Tentative Subdivision Map to construct up to 54
low and very low income senior apartment units (including one on-site manager unit) along with ground
floor parking and related site improvements; and
WHEREAS, the proposed senior apartment units would be constructed within an urban area,
within downtown Dublin and would be occupancy restricted to low and very low income senior
households for a period of at least 55 years; and
WHEREAS, the project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. A
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of CEQA, the State
CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines, and all potential significant impacts
will be mitigated through design of the project and Conditions of Approval. Therefore, there is no
potential for significant environmental effects to occur as a result of the project; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required bylaw.
Additionally, notices were sent to all property owners and tenants in the neighboring subdivisions and
other interested parties; and
WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on May 13,
2003; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the Planning Commission recommending that it
approve the application; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony herein above set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission of the City of
Dublin does hereby find that:
A. The proposed project is consistent with purpose and intent of Sections 8.104.010 and 8.104.020
since it will promote the orderly development of the southerly portion of the City of Dublin Senior
Center by providing a compatible land use, providing pedestrian links with adjacent land uses,
providing adequate vehicular circulations shared with surrounding land uses, and by providing a
complementary exterior building design and color palette with the Senior Center. The PD-Planned
Development rezoning provides adequate standards, including but not limited to building heights,
setbacks, parking, landscaping and others to ensure protection of the general health, safety and
welfare.
B. With the approval of the requested amendments to the General Plan and Downtown Core Specific
Plan, the proposed project would be consistent with the goals, polices and applicable programs of
the General Plan and Downtown Core Specific Plan. Since the applicant has requested approval of
a PD-Planned Development Stage 1 & Stage 2 Development Plan, the project would be consistent
with development regulations for this district.
C. The proposed project would not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of nearby workers or
residents since conditions of approval have been recommended to ensure compliance with the
Uniform Building and Fire Codes and all other applicable codes adopted to protect public health,
safety and welfare.
D. The proposed development will provide a desirable environment for senior living due to proposed
site amenities, linkages to surrounding land uses, provision of adequate on-site parking, provision
of on-site management and security systems and site landscaping.
E. The proposed project is physically suitable for the type and density of proposed site improvements,
since the site is generally flat and contains no site constraints. The site can adequately
accommodate the proposed building and adequate setbacks on all four sides of the proposed
building.
F. The Initial Study prepared for this project, which is the basis of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
pursuant to CEQA, indicates that implementation of the proposed project would be a less than
significant impact. Although the building would be relatively tall and may partially block southerly
views from residential projects north of the site, there are no scenic vistas to the south. Approval
of the proposed project would also have ales-than-significant impact regarding degradation of
on-site views, since the project site and all surrounding areas are urbanized.
G. The site is relatively flat and will require minimal grading to accommodate the proposed use.
Impacts to slopes and existing topographic features would be minimal.
Page 2
H. The proposed Eden Housing project has been specifically designed to be highly compatible with
the design and exterior color palette of the adjacent Dublin Senior Center. A condition of approval
will require the housing project's colors to be compatible that of the Senior Center. All exterior
equipment and appurtenances will be fully screened form public view.
I. The proposed conceptual landscape plan for the proposed project will generally conform to the
landscaping for the Senior Center. Proposed trellised vine plantings on the building will provide
for visual relief. The proposed community garden feature will provide for active recreation on the
site.
J. With the approval of amendments to the General Plan and Downtown Core Specific Plan, the
proposed project would be consistent with the goals. Polices and applicable programs of the
.General Plan and Downtown Core Specific Plan..
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission hereby approves PA
03-003, Site Development Review for up to 54 multi-family apartment units and related site
