portion of the Hansen Hill site to redesignate the open space/stream corridor
General Plan land use designation to Low Density Single Family Residential (0.5

single family residential lots; and
WHEREAS, on September 11, 1989, the City Council authorized a General
Plan Amendment Study for the 3.33± acre portion of the Hansen Hill/Bren Co.
property; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing
to consider the General Plan Amendment, PD Rezoning, Tentative Map and previous
EIR for PA 89-115 planning application for Hansen Hill/Bren Co. on April 16,
1990; and
WHEREAS, the Staff analysis was submitted recommending denial of the
General Plan Amendment to redesignate the 3.33± acre open space area to low
density single family residential (0.5 to 3.8 Du/Ac); and
WHEREAS, on April 16, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted three
resolutions recommending City Council denial of the General Plan Amendment,
Rezoning and Tentative Map; and
WHEREAS, on May 14, 1990, the City Council held a noticed public hearing
to consider the General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, Tentative
Map and previous EIR for PA 89-115 Hansen Hill; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects
as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan Admendment has been reviewed in accordance with
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act; and
WHEREAS, the certified Hansen Hill Ranch EIR determined that development
within the proposed area would have significant adverse impacts to the oak
woodland/riparian habitat area which could not be mitigated to an acceptable
level; and
WHEREAS, said adverse impacts can be reduced with minimized roadway
grading and native plant revegetation of graded areas; and
WHEREAS, Staff and the Planning Commission recommended denial of PA 89-
115 Hansen Hill/Bren Co. 10 lot General Plan Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered all reports, recommendations and
written and oral testimony submitted at the Public Hearing as herein above
setforth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby
find:
1. That the proposed General Plan Amendment undermines the existing
General Plan policy that prohibits development in open space areas.
2. That the existing General Plan policies permit collector streets to
pass through open space areas provided the street is designed to minimize
grading, so as not to damage the ecological/aesthetic value and characteristics
of the open space area; and
3. That existing General Plan policies require revegetation of graded
slopes with native trees, shrubs, and grass; and
4. That native plant revegetation of the graded area (as a result of
development of the roadway) will reduce the damage to the ecological and
aesthetic value and characteristic of the open space oak woodland/riparian
area; and
5. That the proposed General Plan Amendment land use designation is not
consistent with the General Plan policies, in that the General Plan Amendment
would designate the area for residential development rather than revegetate the
area with native plants consistent with the ecological characteristics of the
area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby deny
PA 89-115, Hansen Hill/Bren Co. 10 lot General Plan Amendment.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 14th day of May, 1990.
