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 that was formerly owned by NASA and is now owned by Dublin Crossing Venture LLC. The project area is shown below. y�,6 /�A Figure 1: Vicinity Map .,1 f- . ,-!:: ', 1 7 f' '#ti 1 1. rI s,'--,'. �w,•-!. ,,ry A{3• C .'..'

" . j —■ Since 2004, the City of Dublin had been engaged with the U.S. Army in discussions about the potential conversion of a portion of the Camp Parks base to private development. In 2008, the Army selected SunCal Companies as the master developer for the project area. In late 2013, SunCal secured entitlements through the City for the development of the area. On November 5, 2013, the City Council adopted a General Plan Amendment (Resolution 187-13), adopted the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan (187-13), rezoned the project area to a new Dublin Crossing Zoning District (Ordinance 07-13), certified the Dublin Crossing Environmental Impact Report (Resolution 186-13), and approved a Development Agreement (Ordinance 08-13). Vesting Tentative Map 8150 is the first implementing action to follow the project approvals in 2013. The Map illustrates how the Developer intends to divide the existing parcels in the project area to create five master parcels that align with the five phases of the project outlined in the approved Dublin Crossing Specific Plan. The plan set (Exhibit A to Attachment 1) contains sheetvithe following information: 0 2 of 5 1. Overall site layout and proposed lotting; 2. Proposed roadway improvements to existing facilities on the periphery of the project site including Dublin Boulevard, Arnold Road, and Scarlett Drive; 3. Proposed new roadway configurations on the interior of the project site (referred to as the "backbone" street infrastructure) 4. Proposed multi-modal roadway improvements including bike and pedestrian corridors and bus stops; 5. Master utility plans for water, sewer, and wastewater; 6. Grading plans for each master phase (one through five); and 7. Stormwater treatment plan. The Dublin Crossing Landscape Master Plan is part of the Vesting Tentative Map 8150 submittal package, but it is a separately-bound document (Exhibit A-1 to Attachment 1). The Applicant is currently requesting approval of Vesting Tentative Map 8150 for the Dublin Crossing project. ANALYSIS Vesting Tentative Map 8150 illustrates the proposed subdivision of three parcels (APNs 986- 0001-001-15 (partial), 986-0034-002-00, and 986-0034-006-00) into five master parcels to delineate the phasing of the project and how it will develop over the course of the next 8-10 years. Multiple future Final Maps will be filed to create the five master parcels in succession, and applications for multiple future Small Lot Tentative Maps will be made to further subdivide the five master parcels into individual neighborhoods for the purposes of development in accordance with the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan. No specific neighborhood subdivision maps and no specific development is proposed at this time. The proposed Vesting Tentative Map 8150 conforms to the City of Dublin General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, and the Dublin Crossing Zoning District, subject to the findings and Conditions of Approval. The Resolution approving Vesting Tentative Map 8150 for the Dublin Crossing project is included as Attachment 1 to this Staff Report. The Landscape Master Plan includes concepts for the neighborhood entry monuments and gateway intersection treatments, street frontage design concepts, the proposed streetscape plant, tree, and shrub palette. The Landscape Master Plan also illustrates various site elements such as the lighting, benches, wall treatments, trash receptacles, and bike racks that will be installed throughout the community. Many of these items, including the tree and plant palette and some street furniture, were noted in the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, which was already approved. However, the Landscape Master Plan provides detail on where the various landscape elements are to be located at the project entries, it contains a more robust plant selection, and provides a larger menu of site elements consistent with the Specific Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is located within the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan area, which was the subject of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH# 2012062009) certified by the City Council on November 5, 2013 (Resolution 186-13). Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15168, Vesting Tentative Map approval for this project is within the scope of the project analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no further CEQA review or document is required. 3 of 5 NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH A notice of this public hearing was published in the Valley Times, mailed to 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 was provided to the Applicant and is also available on the City's website.
