OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE

AS DUBLIN RANCH AREA F NORTH
PA 01-037
WHEREAS, the Applicant, James Tong (representing Chang Su-O Lin, H. Yao Lin & H. L. Lin),
submitted applications for a 285.4-acre Amendment area located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Area, including portions of Areas B, E & F in Dublin Ranch. The Amendment Area is known as Dublin
Ranch Area F North generally located north of Central Parkway between Tassajara Road and Fallon
Road. The applications include: a) Amendments to both the General Plan land use designations and the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; b) Planned Development Rezoning consistent with the land use
amendments; c) Stage 1 Planned Development Plan for the entire 285.4-acre Amendment Area; d) Stage 2
Planned Development Plan for the Development Area, 88.5 acres north of Gleason Drive, within the
Amendment Area and including Neighborhoods F 1 & F2; d) Site Development Review for
Neighborhoods F1 & F2; e) Master Vesting Tentative Tract Tentative Map No. 7281; and f) Vesting
Tentative Tract Map Nos.7282 & 7283. The project proposes a total of 1,290 residential units of low and
medium density residential development, Middle School site, Elementary School site, Neighborhood
Square, Neighborhood Park, Community Park, Public/Semi-Public use, and Open Space/Stream
Corridor/Multi-Use Trail system. The applications collectively define this "Project"; and
WHEREAS, the Project site currently is vacant land; and
WHEREAS, the Project would amend the General Plan land use map to change certain uses,
including: alteration of the previously approved road system, elimination of a remnant high school site,
acreage reduction of the middle school site, relocation and consolidation of the Public- Semi-Public Sites,
elimination of the Medium Density Residential/Community Park use, expansion of the Community Park
site, increase in the number of low-density residential units, and over all reduction in proposed units from
1,426 units to 1,290 units. The Project would amend Table 4.1 of the Eastern Dublin land use summary;
and
WHEREAS, the Project would amend the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan with corresponding land
uses proposed for the General Plan land use amendment. Development Standards are included in the
proposed Stage 1 and Stage 2 Planned Development Rezoning and Planned Development Plan review;
and
WHEREAS, the City prepared and circulated an Addendum to a previously adopted Program
Environmental Impact Report for Dublin Ranch which includes an analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the proposed Project. A recently conducted traffic study concluded that the proposed project
would not exceed or cause levels of service to be worse than those levels addressed in the EIR for the
Eastern Dublin General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments approved in 1997. This fact is the primary
reason for finding that additional an environmental impact report with updated mitigation measures would
not be required for approval of the proposed project; and
WHEREAS, on February 24, 2004, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 04-__
recommending that the City Council adopt an Addendum to the program EIR previously certified for this
area. The resolution is incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, a staff report, dated February 24, 2004 and incorporated herein by reference,
described and analyzed the Project, including the proposed amendments to the General Plan and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the staff report and the Addendum to the
previously certified EIR at a duly noticed public hearing held on February 24, 2004 at which time all
interested parties had the opportunity to be heard.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a
part of this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council approve the following General Plan Amendment based on findings that the amendment is in the
