DESCRIPTION:
Background
Reviewed By
Assistant City Manager
The project site is vacant and is approximately 14.32 acres. It is located at the southwest corner
of Dublin Boulevard and Hacienda Drive. The project site is shown below.
Figure 1: Vicinity Map
The project site currently has General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use
designations of "Campus Office" and is in a Planned Development Zoning District (PA 85 -018).
City Council Resolution 105 -85 approved the Planned Development Zoning District on the site,
which outlined that the future site uses would be campus -type office uses. However, a detailed
Development Plan (either Stage 1 or Stage 2) was never adopted.
At the request of the Applicant (Regency Centers), on November 20, 2012, the City Council
approved the initiation of a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment Study to
consider changing the land use designations for the parcel from "Campus Office" to "General
Commercial /Campus Office" in order to accommodate future retail commercial uses on the site
(Attachment 1).
Page 2 of 7
Proiect Proposal
The proposed project for the site is a 152,500 square foot retail commercial center complete
with associated site improvements. In addition to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan amendment, the Applicant is also requesting approval of a Planned Development Rezone
with a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan, Site Development Review, and Vesting
Tentative Map to subdivide the site into five separate parcels.
ANALYSIS
The analysis below describes the various components of the project.
General Plan Amendments
The following amendments to the General Plan are required in order to ensure the project, as
proposed, is consistent with the document. The main amendment to the General Plan is to
change the land use designation for the subject parcel from "Campus Office" to "General
Commercial /Campus Office" to enable retail uses. Figure 1 -1 (General Plan Land Use Map)
shall be amended accordingly.
Table 2.2 (Land Use Development Potential: Eastern Extended Planning Area) shall be
updated to subtract 14.32 acres from the Campus Office land use category and add 14.32 acres
to the General Commercial /Campus Office land use category.
The Resolution adopting amendments to the General Plan is included as Attachment 2 to this
Staff Report.
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments
Similar to the General Plan Amendment, Figure 4.1 (Land Use Map) shall be amended to
change the land use designation for the subject parcel from "Campus Office" to "General
Commercial /Campus Office ".
Table 4.1 (Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Summary) shall be updated to subtract 14.32
acres from the Campus Office land use category and add 14.32 acres to the General
Commercial /Campus Office land use category. Table 4.2 (Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Population and Employment Summary) shall be updated to subtract the development potential
square footage from the Campus Office land use category and add the development potential
square footage to the General Commercial /Campus Office land use category. Table 4.3
(Projected Jobs /Housing Balance) shall be updated to include the amended jobs number based
on the land use change from Campus Office to General Commercial /Campus Office. Lastly,
Table 4.11 (Hacienda Gateway Subarea Development Potential) shall be updated to subtract
14.32 acres from the Campus Office land use category and add 14.32 acres to a new General
Commercial /Campus Office land use category.
The Resolution adopting amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment is
included as Attachment 2 to this Staff Report.
Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 1 /Stage 2 Development Plan:
Typically, a Stage 1 Development Plan is adopted first to establish a concept site plan and lock
in the development potential for a given site. At a later date, once the proposed project has
been refined to a greater level of detail, a Stage 2 Development Plan is adopted that establishes
the more complete development standards and design guidelines. Since the proposed project
Page 3 of 7
has been completely designed, the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan in this case will be a
combined document.
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan is proposed in accordance with Section 8.32.040 of
the Dublin Zoning Ordinance. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan would allow for up to
167,200 square feet of retail commercial development on the project site. This is 10% larger
than the proposed project and is the amount of square footage studied in the Environmental
Impact Report. This was done in order to allow the ultimate size of the project to increase
slightly as the exact building sizes and locations were determined.
The Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan details the permitted and conditional uses; site
development standards, architectural and landscape standards and guidelines; data on site
area, proposed densities and maximum amount of development on the project site. Attachment
3 describes the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan in greater detail.
The Ordinance approving the Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan is included as Attachment 3 to this Staff Report.
Site Development Review:
The following is a summary of the key components of the project associated with the Site
Development Review. Staff's discussion is broken down into several categories.
Site Plan, Access, and Circulation:
The project site is bounded by Dublin Boulevard to the north, Martinelli Way to the south, Arnold
Road to the west and Hacienda Drive to the east. Because of the long, narrow nature of the
site, the project is oriented east -west. The two main buildings face Martinelli Way and the rears
of the buildings are oriented toward Dublin Boulevard. The main parking field for the retail
center is on the south side of the two buildings. These buildings contain a majority of the
commercial square footage (134,000 SF), while three pad buildings (18,500 SF in total) are
proposed along the site perimeter.
A main drive aisle bisects the site in a north -south direction, connecting to Sybase Drive at the
north and the future entry to The Green project site at the south. This drive aisle serves as the
main vehicular and pedestrian link to the future project to the south and to the campus office
buildings to the north. The other main project entries are off Arnold Road and Hacienda Drive.
There are also entries to the delivery areas and smaller employee parking areas off Dublin
Boulevard, but these are expected to have limited vehicular ingress and egress in comparison to
the main entry points.
New bicycle facilities will be provided along Martinelli Way in the form of a Class I, ten foot wide
multi use path and along Arnold Road in the form of a Class II six foot wide, in street bike lane.
Bicycle facilities already exist on Dublin Boulevard and on Hacienda Drive. Bike lockers as well
as conventional bike racks will be provided on site.
Sheet Al of the Project Plan Set (Exhibit A to Attachment 4) illustrates the overall site plan.
Architecture:
The architectural concept for the retail center is very clean and contemporary. The building
vocabulary and materials selection blend well with the surrounding uses while creating a unique
design statement for this shopping center. The building forms are broken down both
horizontally and vertically with variation in color and materials, which include a mixture of
Page 4 of 7
plaster, stone, rustic metal trellis elements and awnings, bronze - framed windows, doors, and
storefront systems, vertical composite wood slats, horizontal composite wood siding, and green
screen grid forms that will allow for nearly full walls of landscape treatment.
Each of the three major tenants has a glass entry element at the roofline, a feature that is
repeated at the rear of Major 1 at the Dublin Boulevard project entry. The project is oriented to
face towards Martinelli Way so that it can blend and relate well to the future development project
on the south side of Martinelli (the future Green on Park Place project). Along the Dublin
Boulevard frontage, attention has been paid to carrying the same design and materials along
the back of the buildings, to ensuring that the screen walls that hide the loading docks use the
same colors and materials, and to ensuring that building articulation and a variety of materials
are employed on all four elevations.
Sheets A2 through A9 of the Project Plan Set (Exhibit A to Attachment 4) illustrate the building
elevations for each of the buildings on the project site. Sheet A10 identifies the building
materials and color palette to be utilized throughout the retail center.
Parking:
The proposed project includes the provision of 828 parking spaces, which is well in excess of
the City standards as outlined in Chapter 8.76 (Off Street Parking and Loading) of the Zoning
Ordinance. Although all of the tenant users have not been identified, it is known that the center
will be a mixture of retail, restaurant, and personal services uses. Even if it is assumed that only
the three major tenants will be retail and all of the other tenants are restaurant uses (a "worst
case" scenario from a traffic perspective), the amount of parking needed to serve the proposed
152,500 SF project would be 730 spaces. Even if an additional 14,700 SF of retail uses were
built out (as permitted in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan), a total of 779 spaces
would be needed and there would still be a 49 space surplus on the project site to serve the
proposed outdoor dining areas and other uses that may come along in the future and be more
parking- intensive.
Landscaping:
The project site landscape concept emphasizes the creation of a comfortable pedestrian
environment. With the design of generous eight -foot sidewalks along the main north -south drive
aisle adorned with street trees and pedestrian - scaled lighting, the project provides a strong
pedestrian connection with its neighbors to the north and to the south.
Street trees will be installed along the project perimeter adjacent to the sidewalks within the
public right of way. The project perimeter along Dublin Boulevard will have a four -foot tall
gridded screen fence with pilasters that will help screen the employee parking area from public
view. A thin landscape strip will be planted with species that will grow up and through the fence
to eventually provide a solid landscape screen without the bulk and starkness of a wall.
In addition to the trees provided in the parking lot and along the front of the retail /restaurant
buildings, two pedestrian pathways have been designed to provide a travel route between
Martinelli Way and the front of the two main buildings. Trees in wells with decorative grates will
be planted along these pedestrian pathways.
The site has several outdoor seating areas that are adjacent to future restaurant tenant spaces:
on either side of the main north -south drive aisle, to the east of the Stores 1, and to the east of
Pad 1. These spaces will be activated with tables and chairs, planters, and other outdoor site
furniture.
Page 5 of 7
Sheet L2 provides enlargements of the key areas on the project site, including the main entry
drive at the north and the Dublin Boulevard /Hacienda Drive corner. The Dublin /Hacienda corner
is particularly important in that the other three corners at this intersection are anchored by larger
buildings. The Applicant is proposing a corner element that is designed with the same materials
and colors as the retail /restaurant buildings. Sheet A9A provides a perspective of the corner
element, which is highlighted by an internally - illuminated opaque lantern, adjacent decorative
trellis, and a four -foot gridded screen wall to soften the view of the employee parking lot.
Between the physical structures and the proposed landscape design, the corner element should
be an attractive feature of the project that provides a solid anchor to the corner and a contextual
connection to the rest of the retail center.
Sheets L1 through L3 of the Project Plan Set (Exhibit A to Attachment 4) illustrate the landscape
plans and details for the project site.
Vesting Tentative Map — Parcel 3 of Parcel Map 8262
The Applicant is requesting to subdivide the single 14.32 acre parcel into five parcels for the
purposes of separate building ownership. There will be a reciprocal parking agreement and
reciprocal access agreements across all of the parcels to ensure that despite the potential for
multiple parcel ownership, the retail center will function as a single entity. The proposed Vesting
Tentative Map conforms to the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and
proposed Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan, subject to the findings and Conditions of
Approval.
Sheet C -1 of the Project Plan Set (Exhibit A to Attachment 4) illustrates the proposed
subdivision of the parcel. The Resolution approving Site Development Review and the Vesting
Tentative Map for Parcel 3 of PM 8262 is included as Attachment 4 to this Staff Report.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
On November 12, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on The Village at
Dublin project. The Planning Commission is typically the review and approval body for Site
Development Review and Tentative Map applications. However, in the case of this project, the
Planning Commission served as an advisory body to the City Council on these two actions.
This was due to the fact that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) needs to be certified before
any other approval actions take place on the project.
At the November 12, 2013 public hearing, the Planning Commission had a robust discussion on
several of the architectural elements of the project. The Planning Commission agreed that they
would like to see additional composite siding on the elevations facing Dublin Boulevard and
Hacienda Drive, and further enhancement to the fence pilasters along these frontages. At the
conclusion of the discussion, the Planning Commission voted to add one additional Condition of
Approval to the Site Development Review resolution, which became COA No. 125. The
Planning Commission adopted four Resolutions recommending approval of the project to the
City Council. The November 12, 2013 draft meeting minutes are included as Attachment 5 to
the Staff Report and Planning Commission Resolutions 13 -37, 13 -38, 13 -39, and 13 -40 (without
attachments) are included as Attachment 6.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared to address potential
environmental impacts of The Village at Dublin Retail Center. The Village at Dublin SEIR
(SCH# 2013012027) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The Draft SEIR was released for public review for a 45 -day period, from July 30, 2013
to September 13, 2013. Comments were received from three public agencies and interested
parties. The comment letters, along with the City's response to those comments, are contained
in the Final SEIR. The Final SEIR, environmental findings, Statement of Overriding
Consideration, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting program are included as Exhibit A to
Attachment 7 of this Staff Report.
As required by CEQA, the Final SEIR (that includes the Response to Comments) was sent
directly to those agencies that provided comments on the Draft EIR. The SEIR (comprised of
the Draft SEIR and Final SEIR) is available for review at City Hall during normal business hours.
The documents are also posted on the City's website.
The Resolution certifying the Final SEIR is included as Attachment 7 to this Staff Report.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH
A notice of this public hearing was published in the Valley Times, mailed to all property owners
and tenants within 300 feet of the project area boundaries, and all persons who have expressed
an interest in being notified of actions related to this project were notified via email.
The Staff Report for this public hearing was also available on the City's website.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Findings
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The Village at Dublin Retail Center Project ( "the Project ") PD- Planned Development
zoning meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a comprehensive
development plan that creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding
land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan.
2. Development of The Village at Dublin Retail Center Project under the PD- Planned
Development zoning and the related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area
in that the site will provide new retail, restaurant, and personal services to residents in an
area that has similar uses nearby and is also adjacent to existing and future workplaces
and residential neighborhoods.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds
as follows.
1. The PD- Planned Development zoning for The Village at Dublin Retail Center Project
and the related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan will be harmonious and
compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that the
proposed Site Plan has taken into account sensitive adjacencies and will provide a wide
range of amenities to the surrounding neighborhoods.
2. The project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district
being proposed in that the Project maintains the general character and density of
adjacent development. The project site conditions are documented in the Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) that has been prepared, the environmental impacts
that have been identified will be mitigated to the greatest degree possible, and the project
will implement all adopted mitigation measures. There are no site conditions that were
identified in the SEIR that will present an impediment to utilization of the site for the
intended purposes. There are no major physical or topographic constraints and thus the
2
site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the retail commercial center
approved through the PD zoning.
3. The PD- Planned Development zoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety
and welfare in that the project will comply with all applicable development regulations and
standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures. The Project uses are
compatible with surrounding uses.
4. The PD- Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the
Dublin General Plan, as amended, and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as amended, in
that the proposed use as a future retail commercial shopping center is consistent with the
General Commercial /Campus Office land use designation for the site.
SECTION 2: ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
Pursuant to Chapter 8.32, Title 8 of the City of Dublin Municipal Code the City of Dublin Zoning
Map is amended to rezone the property described below to a Planned Development Zoning
District:
14.32 acres at 5054 Hacienda Drive. APN 986- 0033 - 007 -00.
( "the Property "). A map of the rezoning area is shown below-
