NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and
made a part of this res��lution.
BE IT FURTHEI� RESOLVED THAT THE City of Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
make the following findings and determinations regarding the proposed Trumark/Regional Street
Residential Project SitE� Development Review:
A. The propos�il is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 of the Zoning Ordinance,
with the Gereral Plan and any applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines because: 1)
The project is in compliance with the development standards of the Downtown Dublin
Zoning District and Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) and is generally consistent with
the DDSP ��esign guidelines for residential uses including compliance with setbacks,
height, and ��evelopment intensity; 2) the project will provide a uniquely-designed, varied,
and distinct housing opportunity within the DDSP area that does not currently exist; and 3)
the project is consistent with the DDSP Retail District requirements to have a minimum
density of 2�' units per net acre for any residential development
B. The propos��l is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1) the
project contributes to orderly, attractive, and harmonious site and structural development
compatible �vith the intended use, proposed subdivisions, and the surrounding properties;
2) the Proje�t provides a high degree of design and landscaping to complement existing
and planned uses in the area; and 3) the project complies with the development regulations
set forth in tr�e Downtown Dublin Zoning District and accompanying DDSP.
C. The design c�f the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties, and
the lot in wl�ich the project is proposed because: 1) the size and mass of the proposed
buildings ar�� consistent with the requirements of the DDSP, which guides residential
development in the Retail District and the greater DDSP area; 2) the project will contribute
to housing <�pportunities as a complement to the surrounding commercial areas that are
intended to further densify and develop as the DDSP is built out; and 3) the project will
provide new� for-sale residential units in an area that is close to transit, shopping, and
services, an�� will create a more urban residential neighborhood for buyers that are seeking
that lifestyle.
D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development because:
1) the Proje�ct provides residential development in an area that can support residential
uses; 2) the Project is consistent with the Downtown Dublin Zoning District in which it is
located; and 3) the project site will be fully served by a network of infrastructure of public
roadways, s��rvices, and facilities
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: 1) the project
site is generally flat; 2) landscaping along main thoroughfares and throughout the project
will be complete; and 3) due to the proximity of the site to the Calaveras Fault, a preliminary
geotechnical study has been completed and the setback recommendations of the study
have been iricorporated into the project.
F. Architectura�' considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site
layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly
uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is
harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments in the vicinity
because: 1) the Project provides a high degree of design and landscaping to provide a
unique, urban, contemporary-themed housing opportunity in the DDSP; 2) the structures
reflect the architectural styles and development standards for other higher-density
residential projects within the DDSP; 3) the materials proposed will be high-quality and
long-lasting; and 4) the color and materials proposed are appropriate to the contemporary
architectural design proposed for the project and complementary to other commercial
buildings in the project vicinity.
G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of
plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure
visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public because: 1)
all perimeter landscaping, walls, fences, and hardscape are proposed for construction in
accordance with the neighborhood; and 2) landscaping in common areas is coordinated
and will be commonly maintained; and 3) the project will conform to the requirements of the
City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist,
pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) all infrastructure including streets, sidewalks,
and street lighting are proposed for construction in accordance with the project plans and
have been reviewed for safety and adequate circulation; and 2) development of this project
will include the reconstruction of sidewalks and tree grates along both Regional Street and
San Ramon Road to conform to City standards, thereby providing ensuring the safe use of
these facilities.
