Report prepared by Kristi Bascom, Principal Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Planning Commission will consider and make a recommendation to the City Council
regarding the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan (DCSP) and associated implementation actions.
The Dublin Crossing Specific Plan is a plan for the orderly development of approximately 189
acres in the City of Dublin. The project area includes 8.7 acres owned by Alameda County
Surplus Property Authority, an 8.9 acre parcel owned by NASA, and an approximately 172 acre
portion of the 2,485 acre Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (Camp Parks) in the center
of Dublin, north of Interstate 580 and Dublin Boulevard. The Specific Plan addresses the future
development of the project area, which includes demolition of the existing buildings and other
improvements on the site and construction of a residential mixed-use project with up to 1,995
single- and multi-family residential units; up to 200,000 square feet of retail, office and/or
commercial uses; a 30 acre Community Park; a 5 acre Neighborhood Park, and a 12 acre
elementary school site to serve approximately 900 students. In addition to adopting the DCSP,
amendments are proposed to the General Plan, the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, and Zoning Map
to implement the Specific Plan. Certification of a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and
approval of a Development Agreement is also being considered.

DESCRIPTION
Background
One of the City Council's key initiatives is to process a General Plan Amendment for private
development on a portion of the Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (Camp Parks). On April
15, 2003, the U.S. Army requested, and the City Council authorized, the commencement of a
General Plan Amendment Study for the 189 acre project area. The project area is generally
bounded by Scarlett Drive to the west, Dublin Boulevard to the south, Arnold Road to the east,
and 5th Street to the north (on the Camp Parks base). The Dublin Crossing project site includes
approximately 172 acres owned by the U.S. Army, an 8.7 acre site at the corner of Dublin
Boulevard and Arnold Road owned by the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, and an
8.9 acre site owned by NASA. The project area is shown below.

In 2004, the City of Dublin, in partnership with the U.S. Army Reserve, engaged community
members in a "Strategic Visioning Process" that examined the opportunities and constraints of
future non-military development of the site, solicited ideas, and created a vision for what could
be constructed. The results of this effort, and the follow-up direction from the City Council, were
shared with the U.S. Army Reserve with the hope that any future development plans would
incorporate the desired vision.
In December 2007, the U.S. Army Reserve prepared a Notice of Availability to solicit a master
developer for the Camp Parks Real Property Exchange/"Dublin Crossing" project area. On
January 10, 2008, the U.S. Army Reserve and the City (and other local public agencies)
participated in an "Industry Day", where all interested developers received information about the
project site, the development process, and received information on the expectations of the City
as it related to development potential as well as public amenities and facilities. The City
established a webpage for the Dublin Crossings project and posted documents and information
for all interested parties to access.
Following Industry Day, interested developers submitted proposals to the U.S. Army Reserve for
consideration, and in October 2008, the U.S. Army Reserve announced the selection of SunCal
Companies as the master developer. In April 2011, SunCal finalized a Real Property Exchange
Agreement with the U.S. Army Reserve for the property that binds both parties to a timeline and
certain requirements to allow development on the project site to proceed.
Once the Exchange Agreement was signed, City Staff began pre-development meetings with
SunCal. SunCal shared their draft development proposal for the property with Staff and
engaged the City in a discussion of the opportunities and constraints of the site and SunCal's
obligations to the U.S. Army. The Dublin Crossing land exchange and phasing of the project is
unique because the land plan for this project has been dictated to a great degree by the way in
which SunCal is expected to receive land from the U.S. Army. SunCal must construct certain
facilities for the Army before receiving certain predetermined parcels of land for private
development.
Once SunCal began sharing their vision for the development of the Project Area, the City
Council held several meetings where they provided feedback to Staff and the Applicant on what
was being proposed. On August 16, 2011, the City Council reviewed the original 2004 vision for
the Dublin Crossing project site and provided updated direction and feedback to be incorporated
into future land plans.
After the August 16, 2011 City Council meeting, Staff and SunCal met on a regular basis to
discuss the proposed land use and circulation network as well as SunCal's plan to provide
parks, open space, and amenities on the project site to address the City Council's direction.
Staff and SunCal also negotiated a package of community benefits that SunCal proposed to
provide in exchange for acceptance of their land plan and development proposal. These
community benefits, and the associated trade-offs, were crafted into a list of Draft Development
Agreement Points.
On May 29, 2012, the City Council held a special meeting to review SunCal's Draft Land Plan
and the Draft Development Agreement Points, which together formed SunCal's development
proposal for the property. At the meeting, Staff sought input from the City Council on the Draft
Land Plan and the Draft Development Agreement Points and affirmation from the City Council
that the concepts illustrated and described in the two documents were acceptable. Following
the May 29, 2012 meeting, Staff and SunCal continued to meet every other week to discuss
refinements to the Draft Land Plan, potential changes to the project to respond to direction
3of12
provided by the City Council, to learn more about SunCal's plans for a Community Facilities
District (CFD) for the project, and to review design concepts for the Community Park.
On May 7, 2013, Staff presented the refined project proposal to the City Council and requested
feedback on outstanding items, which at that point included the creation of a Community
Facilities District to fund the project infrastructure, the size and location of the project parks,
construction of the parks, and feedback on the Draft Development Agreement Points. The City
Council reviewed several questions posed by Staff and provided direction to Staff and SunCal
on these key issues. The City Council accepted the Development Agreement Points at a
subsequent meeting on June 18, 2013. With these "big picture" items resolved, the Draft
Specific Plan and accompanying Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) were completed
based on the City Council direction.
Planninq Commission Study Session
On July 9, 2013, a Study Session was held with the Planning Commission (Attachment 1) to
review the Draft Specific Plan and to receive comments on the Draft EIR, which had been
circulated for public review from June 24, 2013 to August 8, 2013 (45 days). At this meeting,
the Planning Commission provided input on a variety of topic areas including safe and efficient
pedestrian and vehicular circulation through and around the project area, ensuring adequate
parking to serve the new neighborhoods, creating a memorable streetscape and project
gateways — especially along Dublin Boulevard, providing diverse development opportunities,
and creating a strong project focal point at Dublin Boulevard and Arnold Road. The meeting
minutes are included as Attachment 2 to this Staff Report.
After the Planning Commission Study Session and the close of the Draft EIR comment period,
Staff made modifications to the Draft Specific Plan, including adding Circulation Policy 4.25,
which addresses the need to minimize the impacts of overflow parking from BART into the
project area so that it does not become a burden to residents and a problem that the City will
need to manage. Section 4.1 of the Specific Plan describes in detail the policies that will guide
the development of the Infrastructure Master Plan and Landscape Master Plan for the project
area. These two documents will ensure that the subsequent neighborhoods are designed to
create an integrated circulation system with attractive project gateways and connectivity both
inside and outside the Specific Plan area.
The Specific Plan was also edited to further clarify the development standards for the various
use types and to ensure that the process for considering Subdivision Maps and Site
Development Review applications in the project area is consistent with the City's existing
practices.
The Final Specific Plan is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 3 of this Staff Report, and is
described in more detail below.
ANALYSIS
Specific Plan Overview
The Dublin Crossing Specific Plan is intended to provide a comprehensive vision for the
development of the project area in five development phases over the next 10 to 15 years. The
Specific Plan has been crafted to respond to the feedback and direction provided by the City
Council over the past two years.
4 of 12
It is a plan for the orderly development of approximately 189 acres, which includes 8.7 acres
owned by Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, an 8.9 acre parcel owned by NASA, and
a 172-acre portion of the 2,485-acre Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (Camp Parks).
The Specific Plan addresses the future development of the project area, which includes
demolition of the existing buildings and other improvements on the site and construction of a
residential mixed-use project with up to 1,995 single- and multi-family residential units; up to
200,000 square feet of retail, office and/or commercial uses; a 30 acre Community Park; a 5
acre Neighborhood Park, and a 12 acre elementary school site to serve up to 900 students.
The Specific Plan document is divided into the following sections:
1. Introduction
2. Land Use and Development Standards
3. Design Guidelines
4. Circulation and Streetscape Design
5. Infrastructure and Public Services
6. Public Realm (Parks, Open Space, Public Facilities)
7. Administration, Implementation and Financing
The main sections of the document are described in more detail below.
Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter establishes the principles and objectives of the Specific Plan, the planning process,
the area's setting and constraints, and its relationship to existing plans and policies.
Chapter 2: Land Use and Development Standards
This chapter explains the conceptual land use plan for the Specific Plan area; identifies land use
policies, and defines the land use designations. This chapter also describes the roadway
network and the proposed development phasing (based on the SunCal's agreement with the
U.S. Army), which greatly influences the land plan.
Table 1 in this Staff Report describes the Specific Plan Land Use Districts, the total net acreage
for each district, the development density permitted, and the total development potential
allowed. The Conceptual Land Use Plan illustrates the location of each land use category in the
project area (Attachment 4)
Development standards for each land use designation and residential product type are also
described. For instance, the DC — Medium Density Residential land use district allows for a
variety of residential product types, including single-family detached homes and townhomes.
Therefore, the Specific Plan includes development standards for detached single-family homes
and attached townhomes, both of which are permitted in that land use district.

Chapter 3: Design Guidelines
This chapter explains design concepts and establishes design policies and design guidelines for
development in the Specific Plan area. While development standards are requirements that
must be met, design guidelines have more flexibility and are encouraged/discouraged rather
than required/prohibited. The design guidelines are intended to be used in conjunction with the
more quantitative development standards noted in the previous section.
Section 3.1 (General Design Guidelines) apply to all building types (residential, commercial, or
public facilities) and provides direction on:
• Overall building design;
• Building articulation and massing;
• Indoor-Outdoor relationship between a site and building(s);
• Building materials, colors, and finishes;
• Building base and top treatments;
• Entry design;
• Windows and doors;
• Roofs;
• Mechanical equipment and utilities, service, storage, and loading areas;
• Perimeter walls and fences;
• Onsite public art;
• Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED);
• Exterior lighting; and
• Green Building.

Section 3.2 (Residential Design Guidelines) contains additional guidelines that are specific to
both single- and multi-family residential structures. The following section goes into greater detail
regarding the suggested elements that are to be incorporated into different architectural styles.
Section 3.4 (Commercial and Mixed Use Design Guidelines) contains additional guidelines that
apply to commercial and mixed-use projects.
Chapter 4: Circulation and Streetscape Design
This chapter explains the circulation and streetscape design in the Specific Plan area, describes
the roadway hierarchy and proposed public right-of-way mobility plans for all modes of
transportation including transit, pedestrians and bicycles, and contains design policies for the
circulation network. The chapter also contains design concepts for the Specific Plan area's
main project entries and details on future street landscaping and streetscape amenities.
Chapter 5: Infrastructure and Public Services
This chapter describes the plan for infrastructure and utility needs, including potable water,
recycled water, sewer, and stormwater drainage and detention.
Chapter 6: Public Realm (Parks, Open Space, Public Facilities)
This chapter identifies the goals and design concepts for the community and neighborhood park,
trails and bikeways within the parks; and describes public facilities anticipated within the Specific
Plan area.
Chapter 7: Administration, Implementation, and Financing
This chapter discusses the development review procedures by the City of Dublin and other
relevant permitting agencies applicable to the Specific Plan. Implementation of the proposed
land uses shall be through a tiered process as outlined in this chapter. A process for
amendments to the Specific Plan is also discussed. Additionally, financing sources,
maintenance responsibilities, and costs are identified for major infrastructure improvements.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
Several amendments to the General Plan are required in order for the Dublin Crossing Specific
Plan, as drafted, to be consistent with all the elements of the General Plan. One of the main
amendments to the General Plan is to change the land use designation for the project area from
"Public Lands" to a new "Dublin Crossing" land use designation. The boundaries of the new
land use designation shall be contiguous with the project area boundary shown in the Specific
Plan, and the maximum development potential shall be as described in the Specific Plan.
Figure 1-1 (General Plan Land Use Map) shall be amended accordingly.
Another key amendment is to add the Dublin Crossing Planning Area as a new planning area in
the General Plan. Currently there are three planning areas in the City: the Primary Planning
Area, Eastern Extended Planning Area, and Western Extended Planning Area. The General
Plan needs to be amended throughout to reference the new Dublin Crossing Planning Area,
where appropriate. Sections were also added to the various elements of the General Plan to
refer to the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan. A summary of the exact text amendments proposed
to the General Plan, shown in strikethrough (deletions) and underline (additions) is included as
Attachment 5 to this Staff Report.
The Resolution recommending City Council adoption of the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan and
General Plan Amendments is included as Attachment 3 to this Staff Report.

ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
In addition to providing a guiding vision and policies for development in the project area, the
Dublin Crossing Specific Plan will also serve as the Zoning District for the project area. New
Zoning Ordinance Chapter 8.31 (Dublin Crossing Zoning District) identifies the permitted uses
and development standards for properties in the zoning district by referring back to Sections 2.6
and 2.7 of the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan itself. If these sections of the Specific Plan are
amended in the future, they will need to be accompanied by a Zoning Ordinance Amendment,
since these sections serve as the zoning standards for the Zoning District. For any use and/or
development standard that is not directly addressed in the Specific Plan, the regulations of the
closest zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance shall apply.
One of the implementation actions of the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan is to rezone the property
in the Specific Plan area with this single zoning district to streamline review and approval of new
development in the project area. By creating a new zoning designation that refers to the
permitted land uses and development standards contained in the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan,
future development applications need to be in compliance with the Specific Plan. If a
development proposal is in conformance with the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, the only
planning approval needed is for Site Development Review, and a Subdivision Map, where
appropriate.
The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are as follows:
1. Create a new zoning district and a new Chapter in the Zoning Ordinance: Chapter 8.31
Dublin Crossing Zoning District
2. Rezone property in the project area to the Dublin Crossing Zoning District (this includes
properties identified by Assessor Parcel Numbers 986-0001-001-15 (partial), 986-0034-
002-00, and APN 986-0034-006-00
3. Amend the Zoning Map to show the location of the Dublin Crossing Zoning District; and
4. Make minor amendments to Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land)
and Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) to reflect the existence of the new
Chapter 8.31 (Dublin Crossing Zoning District).
The Resolution recommending City Council approval of the Zoning Ordinance Amendments is
included as Attachment 6 to this Staff Report, with the Ordinance itself included as Exhibit A to
Attachment 6.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The Applicant requested a Development Agreement for the proposed project. The basic terms
of the Development Agreement have been reviewed by the City Council at several different
meetings over the course of the past two years. The Draft Development Agreement Points were
supported by the City Council at the meeting on June 18, 2013, and those Draft Points were
used as the basis to craft the proposed Development Agreement. Staff is working with the
Applicant to finalize the terms of the Development Agreement in accordance with the direction
provided by the City Council. The Development Agreement will be provided separately at or
before the Planning Commission meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to address potential environmental
impacts of the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan. The Dublin Crossing Specific Plan EIR (SCH#
8of12
2012062009) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The Draft EIR was released for public review for a 45-day period, from June 24, 2013
to August 8, 2013. Comments were received from 14 public agencies and interested parties.
The comment letters, along with the City's response to those comments, are contained in the
Final EIR. The Final EIR is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 8 of this Staff Report.
As required by CEQA, the Final EIR (that includes the Response to Comments) was sent
directly to those agencies that provided comments on the Draft EIR. The Dublin Crossing
Specific Plan EIR (comprised of the Draft EIR and Final EIR) is available for review at City Hall
during normal business hours. The documents are also posted on the City's website on a page
devoted to the Dublin Crossing/Camp Parks Exchange project.
After the EIR comment period closed, two pieces of communication were received that related
to the environmental impacts of the proposed project. Attachment 9 is an email from Angela
Rex, a wildlife biologist, and Attachment 10 is an email from Jeff Miller, Director of the Alameda
Creek Alliance. Both letters raised concerns about the impacts of the proposed project on
burrowing owls, which are a wildlife species known to be present in the Project Area.
California burrowing owls are identified as a California Species of Special Concern by the State
Department of Fish and Wildlife. This means that they are not endangered or threatened, but
the agency is monitoring their populations in an attempt to keep them from becoming threatened
or endangered. The Biological Report for the Dublin Crossing EIR, prepared by consultants
Cardno Entrix (and peer reviewed by the City's environmental consultants RBF) included site
surveys that were completed in March 2012. During the site surveys, several pairs and
individual burrowing owls were observed within the project area. Therefore, the Draft Dublin
Crossing EIR identified the following environmental impact related to burrowing owls:
Impact 3.3-3:
Several California burrowing owl pairs have been documented within the project area, including
during the winter and breeding season. Due to the security fencing that surrounds Camp Parks,
low human use, and maintenance activities, the project area provides suitable breeding,
foraging and wintering habitat for the California burrowing owl. Implementation of the proposed
project could result in the displacement of burrowing owls during construction activities, and
once completed the proposed project could result in the removal of suitable burrowing owl
(breeding and wintering) habitat. Permanent loss of occupied burrow(s) and habitat would be
considered a potentially significant impact.
The California State Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is the agency that is responsible
for stewardship of California Species of Special Concern is the permitting agency for
development that will have impacts to wildlife identified as of special concern. As a result of the
environmental impact identified above, the Final EIR contains the following Mitigation Measure,
which will be implemented in concert with development in the project area:
Mitigation Measure 3.3-3a: Conduct a Burrowing Owl Survey and Impact Assessment.
The project applicant shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a California burrowing owl take
avoidance surveys 14 days prior to ground disturbing activities and impact following the 2012
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation
(CDFW 2012) or as updated at the time of the implementation of the proposed project. If no
owls are found during this first survey, a final survey shall be conducted within 48-hours prior to
ground disturbance to confirm that burrowing owls are still absent. If ground disturbing activities
are delayed or suspended for more than 14 days after the initial take avoidance survey, the
project area shall be resurveyed including the final survey within 48-hours of disturbance. The
9of12
report(s) shall be submitted to California Department of Fish and Game (CDFW) as indicated in
the CDFW 2012 Staff Report. If it is determined that project activities may result in impacts to
nesting, occupied, and satellite burrows and/or burrowing owl habitat, the project applicant shall
consult with the CDFW. More specifically, if the surveys identify breeding or wintering burrowing
owls on or adjacent to the project area, occupied burrows cannot be disturbed and shall be
provided with protective buffers. Where avoidance is not feasible during the non-breeding
season, a site specific exclusion plan (i.e. a plan that considers the type and extent of the
proposed activity, the duration and timing of the activity, the sensitivity and habituation of the
owls, and the dissimilarity of the proposed activity with background activities) shall be
implemented to encourage the owls to move away from the work area prior to construction and
to minimize the potential to affect the reproductive success of the owls. The exclusion plan shall
be subject to the CDFW approval and monitoring requirements. Compensatory mitigation could
also be required by the CDFW as part of the approval of an exclusion plan. Mitigation may
include the permanent protection of habitat at a nearby off-site location acceptable to the
CDFW.
Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce impacts to the California burrowing owl
to a less than significant level in accordance with the CEQA standards of significance and the
requirements of the California State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Therefore, no changes are
proposed to the Final EIR, and the Resolution recommending City Council certification of the
Final EIR is included as Attachment 8 to this Staff Report.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH
