ADDENDUM
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City Council has initiated a General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment study with the intent of making
changes to the approved Dublin Crossing project in order to facilitate the acquisition of a �z-acre school
site that can be used by both the City and the School District. In order to effectuate these changes, land
use amendments are proposed to the General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, and the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, and modifications are proposed to the Dublin Crossing Development Agreement. The details
of these amendments are as follows:
Dublin Crossing Specific Plan would be amended to include several land use changes that will financially
benefit the Developer and allow them to transfer the school site to the City at no cost, including:
• Modifying the designation of the iz acre School site to allow both school and park uses. This will
allow the playground(s), recreational field(s), and other amenities to be used by both the school
community as well as the residential neighborhood.
• Incorporating the �.5 acre Chabot Creek into the Community Park and increase the acreage devoted
to Medium Density Residential by �.5 acres. Although this will allow the Developer more flexibility
in where the residential development takes place, the Specific Plan limit of �,995 residential units
will not be exceeded; and
• Redesignating the �3 acre "Mixed Use" site on the corner of Arnold and Dublin Boulevard to
"General Commercial�DC Medium-High Density Residential", thereby removing the requirement for
both the 5 acre Neighborhood Park site and a minimum of 75,00o square feet of commercial
development on this parcel within the site.
Minor amendments to the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan are also needed to ensure
consistency with the amended Dublin Crossing Specific Plan.
In addition to the land use changes proposed above, Amendment No. � to the Development Agreement
between the City and Dublin Crossing Venture LLC related to the Dublin Crossing Project includes:
• Removing the requirement to provide construction funding for a 5 acre Neighborhood Park ($z.�43
million);
• Removing the requirement for the final Community Benefit Payment ($�.z million); and
• Including language related to the no-cost transfer of the school site from the Developer to the City.
The proposed changes to the General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and
Development Agreement will result in the delivery of the �z acre school site to the City without increasing
the current maximum number of housing units (up to i,995) allowed in the project or the maximum

amount of commercial square footage allowed to be built (up to zoo,000 square feet). Additionally, the
same amount of parkland will be provided, although the Neighborhood Park will now be a facility that is
jointly used by both the community and the School District while the Community Park remains at 3o acres.
PR_I.OR CEQA ANALYSI_S:
The City Council certified a Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH zo�zo6zoo9) for the Dublin Crossing
Project on November 5, zo�3 via City Council Resolution �86-i3.
The Final EIR analyzed the Dublin �rossing Specific Plan, which was a plan for the orderly development of
approximately �8g acres, including 8.7 acres owned by Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, an 8.g
acre parcel owned by NASA, and a �7z-acre portion of the z,485-acre Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training
Area (Camp Parks). The Specific Plan addressed 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 �,995 single- and multi-family residential units; up to zoo,000
square feet of retail, office and�or commercial uses; a 3o acre Community Park; a 5 acre Neighborhood
Park, and a �z acre elementary school site to serve approximately goo students.

PROJ ECT:
In order to determine if there were any significant environmental impacts that were present with the
General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, Development Agreement and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project (zo�5) that were not already addressed (and mitigated
if necessary) in the Dublin Crossing FEIR, an Initial Study was completed. The Initial Study, dated April z�,
z.oi5 and incorporated herein by reference, determined that the potentially significant effects of the
General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to
the Dublin Crossing Project (zoi5) were adequately addressed in the Dublin �rossing FEIR, and that no
substantial changes are proposed with the current Project or the conditions under which the Project will
be undertaken that require revisions of the previous environmental documents. Based on the Initial Study,
this Addendum has been prepared, which notes the difference in the General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific
Plan, and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project (zo�5) and
the previous project approvals, which CEQA impacts were addressed in the certified Dublin Crossing FEIR.
The General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, Development Agreement and the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project (zo�5) does not modify the maximum
development potential within the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan area, substantively modify any land use
districts or designations in order to allow more development or a higher intensity of development, or
introduce any new project attributes that were not present at the time the original project was analyzed
and the Dublin Crossing FEIR certified. The change in location of the future neighborhood park is not a
substantial modification, the circulation system remains the same, the number of allowable residential
units has not increased, the amount of allowable commercial square footage has not increased, and the
number of students expected to be served by the school has not changed.
NO SUBSEQU_E__NT R__EVIEW_IS REQUIRED_PER_CEQA GUID_ELINES SECTION i5�6z_:
�� z : Initial Study/Addendum for the General Plan,Dublin Crossing Specific Plan,and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project(zoi5)
Pursuant to Section �5�6z of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no subsequent
environmental analysis shall be prepared for the General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, Development
Agreement, and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project
(zo�5), as no substantial changes have been proposed with the Project or the conditions under which the
Project will be undertaken which require revisions to the previous environmental documents. No new
significant environmental impacts have been identified and no substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified impacts has been discovered.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section �5�64, with minor technical amendments and clarifications as
outlined in this Addendum, the Dublin Crossing FEIR will continue to adequately address the significant
environmental impacts of the General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, Development Agreement and
the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project (zo�5).
CONCLUSION:
The City prepared an Initial Study in connection with the General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan,
Development Agreement and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing
Project (zo�5). Based on the Initial Study, the City prepared an Addendum to the Dublin Crossing FEIR. As
provided in Section �5i64, the Addendum need not be circulated for public review, but shall be considered
with the previous environmental documents before making a decision on the proposed project. The Initial
Study is included below and the previous environmental documents are available for review in the
Community Development Department at the City of Dublin, �oo Civic Plaza, Dublin, California.

After several years of planning, analysis, and negotiations, on November 5, zo�3, the City Council approved
the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan (DCSP) and associated implementation actions. The Specific Plan
outlined 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 �,995
single- and multi-family residential units; up to zoo,000 square feet of retail, office and/or commercial uses;
a 3o acre Community Park; a 5 acre Neighborhood Park, and a �z acre school site to serve approximately
goo students.
5 Initial Study�Addendum for the General Plan,Dublin Crossing Specific Plan,and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin Crossing Project(zoi5)
In addition to the DCSP, amendments were a{�proved to the General Plan, the Dublin Zoning Ordinance,
and Zoning Map to implement the Specific Plan. The project approvals also included the certification of
the Dublin Crossing Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The approval actions by the City Council
were formalized in Resolutions �86-�3 (EIR certification) and �87-i3 (Specific Plan approval and General Plan
amendments) as well as Ordinances o7-�3 (Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map changes) and o8-�3
(Development Agreement approval).
The Dublin Crossing project includes a iz-acre school site that the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD)
intends to use for a future school that can accommodate up to goo students. However, funding for new
school construction is extremely limited. Despite the best efforts of our State legislative representative
last year, a state ballot measure for school construction was not placed on the November zo�4 ballot, and
no solutions have been proposed by Governor Brown to bridge the construction funding gap that exists
between the resources local districts have to build new facilities and the actual costs to build new schools.
The lack of funding support from the State means that local school districts, like DUSD, need to find
alternative solutions to the now-broken State model that has funded school construction over the years.
In zoi4, City Staff approached SunCal to discuss options for the City to obtain the �z-acre school site in an
effort to assist DUSD. After much discussion and negotiation, SunCal and City Staff reached agreement on
tentative deal terms that would allow the transfer of the future school site to the City at no cost in
exchange for modifications to the entitlements for the Dublin Crossing project.
The proposed changes to the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan and Development Agreement will result in the
delivery of the �z acre school site to the City without increasing the current maximum number of housing
units (up to �,995) allowed in the project or the maximum amount of commercial square footage allowed
to be built (up to zoo,000 square feet). Additionally, the same amount of parkland will be provided,
although the Neighborhood Park will now be a facility that is jointly used by both the community and the
School District while the Community Park remains at 3o acres (Attachment�).
The following is a description of the land use changes and modifications to the Development Agreement:
General Pl_an and Specific Plan Amendments
Under the proposal agreed to by City Staff and SunCal, the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan would be
amended to include several land use changes that will financially benefit the Developer and allow them to
transfer the school site to the City at no cost, including:
• Modifying the designation of the �z acre School site to allow both school and park uses. This will
allow the playground(s), recreational field(s), and other amenities to be used by both the school
community as well as the residential neighborhood.
• Incorporating the �.5 acre Chabot Creek into the Community Park and increase the acreage devoted
to Medium Density Residential by �.5 acres. Although this will allow the Developer more flexibility
in where the residential development takes place, the Specific Plan limit of �,995 residential units
will not be exceeded; and
• Redesignating the �3 acre "Mixed Use" site on the corner of Arnold and Dublin Boulevard to
"General Commercial/DC Medium-High Density Residential", thereby removing the requirement for
both the 5 acre Neighborhood Park site and a minimum of 75,00o square feet of commercial
development on this parcel within the site. Attachment � illustrates the revised Conceptual Land
Use Plan

Instructions
I. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question (see Attachment A: Source List). A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the
referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one
involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be
explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project
will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with
mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that any effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially
Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
�. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated: applies where
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"
to a "Less Than Significant Impact."The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and
briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
�. Earlier Analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, Program EIR, or other CEQA process,
one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section i5o63(c)(3)(D). In this case, the checklist entry will be "No New Impact" and a discussion
should identify the following on attached sheets:

a. Earlier analysis used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis.
c. The conclusion of"No New Impact" in this Initial Study means that there are no new or
substantially more severe significant environment impacts that those identified in the Dublin
Crossing EIR and no other standards for subsequent or supplemental environmental review
under CEQA are met.

Discussion
The General Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan,and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments related to the Dublin
Crossing Project(zoi5)does not modify the maximum development potential within the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan
area,substantively modify any land use districts or designations in order to allow more development or a higher
intensity of development, or introduce any new project attributes that were not present at the time the original project
was analyzed and the Dublin Crossing FEI R certified. The change in location of the future neighborhood park is not a
substantial modification,the circulation system remains the same,the number of allowable residential units has not
increased,the amount of allowable commercial square footage has not increased,and the number of students
expected to be served by the school has not changed. Therefore,the project would not have any impacts on
aesthetics�visuai resources beyond those already analyzed in the Dublin Crossing EIR,and therefore no new impacts
would result.
2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land
Evaluation and Site Assessment Model(t997)prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an
optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to
forest resources,including timberland,are significant environmental effects,lead agencies may refer to
information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's
inventory of forest land,including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment
project;and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California
Air Resources Board. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance(Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring X
Program of the California Resources Agency,to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use,or a x
Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of forest
land(as defined in Public Resources Code Section izzzo(g)),
timberland(as defined by Public Resources Code section X
4526)or timberland zoned Timberland Production(as defined
by Government Code section 5��o4(g))?
d) Result in loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to x
non-forest uses?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment,which due x

3. AIR QUALITY. Where available,the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or
air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air X
quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or x
projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air X
quality standard(including releasing emissions,which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant x
concentrations?

stream or river,in a manner,which would result in substantial
erosion or siltation on-or off-site.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or
area, including through the alteration of the course of a
stream or river,or substantially increase the rate or amount of X
surface runoff in a manner,which would result in flooding on-
