assumptions, within the development assumptions of a subsequent 1997 ND; and that no
additional environmental review is required; and
WHEREAS, on January 28, 2014, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed
public hearing on the Project, including the proposed Planned Development rezoning, at which
time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and

the Staff Report, the prior EIR and other CEQA documents, and all reports, recommendations,
and testimony referenced above prior to making any recommendations on the Lot 3 project,
including the proposed rezoning.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
REZONING THE GROVES LOT 3 TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT AND
APPROVING A RELATED STAGE 1 AND 2 DEVELOPMENT PLAN
PLPA 2013-00034
The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Groves Lot 3 ("project") is in Dublin Ranch Area B in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
area. On October 10, 1994, the City Council adopted Ordinance 4-94 prezoning the 1,538 acre
Dublin Ranch to PD-Planned Development in accordance with the 1993 Eastern Dublin General
Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Following annexation of Dublin Ranch, the
City Council adopted Ordinance 24-97 on December 2, 1997 rezoning Dublin Ranch Areas B-E
to PD-Planned Development and adopting the then-required Land Use and Development Plan
(LUDP) by Resolution 141-97. The LUDP established permitted uses, development standards
and other regulations for future development of Areas B-E. The Groves Lot 3 was anticipated
for up to 304 units of High Density Residential uses as part of a larger residential development.
The unit count assumed a base number of units plus additional units through a density bonus.
B. Several development applications have been approved based on the 1997 PD zoning,
including the approximately 25-acre Fairway Ranch high density residential project approved on
July 1, 2003. The current project is the third phase of the project initially approved as Fairway
Ranch, which is now known as The Groves. A Site Development Review permit was approved
in March 2007 to revise the site plan and allow live-work units. In March 2013, the City
approved a 304 unit apartment project. None of the prior approved developments have been
built.
C. The PD-Planned Development zoning for the project would supersede Ordinance 24-97 as
to The Groves Lot 3 project area.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The Groves Lot 3 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 Project under the PD-Planned Development zoning will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area
in that the project provides higher density housing, compatible with existing higher
density residential development to the north and west, and with proposed development to
EXHIBIT A TO
ATTACHMENT 3
the east. The Project provides a high degree of design and landscaping to complement
existing and planned uses in the area.
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 Project will be harmonious and compatible
with existing and potential development in that the project provides higher density
housing, compatible with existing higher density residential development to the north and
west, and with proposed development to the east. The Project provides a high degree of
design and landscaping to complement existing and planned uses in the area.
2. The project site is flat, in an infill area that is fully served by public services and
existing roadways. There are no site challenges that will impede use of the site for the
intended purposes. There are no major physical or topographic constraints and thus the
site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the proposed residential
development.
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.
4. The PD-Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the
Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as amended, in that the proposed
residential use is consistent with the Medium High Density Residential land use
designation for the site approved in connection with the Project.
C. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council determined that the
Project is within the scope of the Eastern Dublin EIR and other prior CEQA reviews, and that no
further environmental review is required, as set forth in Resolution xx-14 on
2014, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 3. 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 ("Property") to a Planned Development
Zoning District:
8.8 gross acres at the northwest corner of Dublin Boulevard and Lockhart Street, APN
985-0048-005
