BACKGROUND: Project Description On May 16, 2000 the City Council adopted Resolution 75-00, initiating a General Plan, Specific Plan amendment study for a 91 acre site which would be a mixed use, pedestrian oriented project, called the Dublin Transit Center. The proposed project is located adjacent to the existing East Dublin-Pleasanton BART Station. The proposal calls for removal of the existing BART surface parking lots and constructing high intensity land uses on the 91-acre site. The majority of the site is within a 1/4 mile of the existing BART station (1/4 mile is considered a comfortable walking distance for a majority of people, COPIES TO: ACSP A, SUD Microsystems, Oracle ITEM No.--'1.1 g: agenda/200 l/Trancenhgtsssr approximately 10-minutes). The proposed project consists of2- million sq. ft. of office space, 180,000 sq. ft. hotel, 1,500 high density residential units, 70,000 sq. ft. of retail/commercial, and a new 1,700-parking space, BART parking garage. The intent of the project is to create a high intensity, mixed use transit village development that provides housing, services, and employment opportunities in a configuration that facilitates pedestrian and transit access. The proposed office uses would be located on the sites located to the east of the BART station (as shown on Attachment 1 and Attachment 7) with a proposed maximum height of 10-12 stories. The proposed high-density residential uses would be located to the west of the proposed office sites (see Attachment 1). The street system is intended to be a pedestrian friendly environment, which would utilize major streets for pedestrian access, as well as pedestrian only access through major building sites. The streetscape is designed to be urban in nature with buildings fronting on street and design elements reduced to the human scale such as entries. Off street parking would be visually de-emphasized and located along north/south streets in parking structures. Project History The project was initiated in May of2000. The City Council at its March 6, 2001 meeting has directed that the Transit Center project and allied development proposals for Sun Microsystems, Oracle and the residential areas be deferred until additional staff can be hired to process these projects (anticipated delay of 4-6 months). The Alameda County Surplus Property Authority (ACSP A) and the two major office developers have requested City Council clarification of the scope of the General Plan and Specific Plan study with respect to acceptable height limits within the Study Area. Preliminary proposals call for the office and hotel components of the project to be in excess of six stories. The floor area ratios (F.A.R.= the ratio of building square footage to square footage of land) for these new transit center projects are proposed to be between 1.1 to 3.2 F.A.R. in comparison with other office projects east of Arnold Drive that range from.3 to .65 F.A.R. (see Attachment 2 for details). Policy Background Under the current regulations contained within the General Plan, various Specific Plans, and Zoning Districts, the subject of height is dealt with differently in each area of the City. (Included below is a table illustrating the different height limits throughout the City) Downtown West Eastern C-l C-2 C-O S.P. BART Dublin Zoning Zoning Zoning S.P. S.P. District District District Height 6-stories 8-stories 6-stories 35-feet 45-feet 35-feet Limits: (or 75 feet) In addition to regulating the height of structures, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan identifies scenic corridors and contains policies to protect those scenic resources. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan designates the 1-580 corridor as a scenic corridor. The Plan states that views of the ridgelines should not be obstructed for more than 50% of the developed frontages. The policies also state that views should be maintained by balancing building heights and setbacks to allow views over buildings, by clustering buildings to allow views over or through the developments or by siting parking to preserve views to the hills (standard 1.2 of the East Dublin Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards). Although the East Dublin Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards do not apply to the ACSP A's parcel, these policies can be used as a reference or guide if the City Council determines it is appropriate. 2 VISUAL ANALYSIS Backf;!round To provide the City Council some context as it relates to height included below are the heights of surrounding office development projects: Pro 'ect Name Commerce One Sybase Micro Dental Emerald Pointe Cisco Number 0 Stories 6 6 6 4 3 and 5 Entitlements A roved A roved A roved A roved Pro osed Visual Simulations Three different types of visual simulations were prepared for this analysis: (1) photo montages prepared for the City by a visual consultant (Attachment 3); (2) photo montages prepared by KMD Architects (architects for Sun Microsystems) (Attachment 4); and (3) architectural rendering prepared by the Architect for the Transit Center (Attachment 5). In addition to these visual simulations being conducted from off-site views, renderings from several locations within the proposed Transit Center are included as Attachment 5. These renderings are intended to provide the feel to a pedestrian walking through the proposed development. The photomontages consisting of Attachment 3 were taken from the following vantage points: 1. Dublin: looking -east from Iron Horse Trail- Attachment 3a 2. Dublin: looking west from 1580- Attachment 3b 3. Dublin: looking north from BART platform- Attachment 3c The photomontages consisting of Attachment 4 were taken from the following vantage points: 1. Pleasanton: looking north-east from Johnson Road- Attachment 4a 2. Dublin: looking east from Dougherty Road overpass- Attachment 4b 3. Dublin: looking south west from Hacienda Drive- Attachment 4c 4. Dublin: looking south west from Summerglen and Aspen- Attachment 4d 5. Pleasanton: looking north-east from Inglewood and Helpert - Attachment 4e 6. Pleasanton: looking north west from Genoveio Drive- Attachment 4[ 7. Dublin: looking north west from Hacienda Drive overpass- Attachment 4g 8. Dublin: looking east from the corner of Dublin and Scarlett- Attachment 4h 9. Dublin: looking south east from Spruce and Penn- Attachment 4i Views and Vistas Throughout the Tri-valley, panoramic views of the Mt. Diablo Range are available from many locations. From the higher elevations of the ridges, views look out over the valley where the predominant view is of suburban development. The focus of the visual analysis is on public viewpoints. Very little of the site is visible from within Dublin or Pleasanton commercial or residential neighborhoods (as evidenced by the photomontages in Attachment 4). Viewpoints discussed below, were selected because of the resulting visual impacts as demonstrated by the attached photo montages (Attachments 3 and 4). Additionally, these 3 viewpoints are places that are accessible to a large number of people. The key public viewpoints that have visibility to the project are: 1-580, Iron Horse Trail, the East Dublin BART station platform, the Dougherty Road Overpass, and Dublin Boulevard, just west of the project area. 1-580 Along the westbound portion of 1-580 fronting the project site, motorists have background views of the ridgelands and Mount Diablo and middleground views of the BART station, power poles and wires and vacant land. Attachment 3b shows the existing view of the project site from 1-580 looking west. It should be noted the view would be of a very limited duration (less than 15 seconds) because of the limited frontage along 1580 (approximately 1,500 feet). The existing BART station obstructs views along eastbound 1-580 due to the height of platform above the travel lanes. Iron Horse Trail The Iron Horse Trail right-of-way defines the westerly boundary of the development plan area. 'Currently, the right-of-way is undeveloped. Construction of the Iron Horse Trail extension is anticipated for completion in early 2002. Existing views from the trail right-of-way include vacant land and power poles and wires in the foreground and middle ground, and the BART station, shopping center and Diablo Range in the background. Attachment 3a shows the existing view of the project site from the Iron Horse Trail right-of-way. As depicted in Attachment 3a, Iron Horse Trail users would see high-density residential development as they pass Site A. The residential development would replace the panoramic view of the ridgelands with a reduced view of them. Building development along the trail would create a sense of enclosure, which is typical of what currently exists north of the project site. East Dublin-Pleasanton BART Station Platform The westbound train platform of the BART station looks out over the Transit Center area. Views of Mount Diablo and the Diablo Range in the background, the BART station and parking lot in the middleground and the westbound lanes of 1580 in the foreground. Attachment 3c shows the existing view of the project site from the BART station platform. In Attachment 3c, most of the existing view of Mount Diablo, from the BART station platform, would be blocked. Only the ridgetop portion of Mount Diablo would remain visible from this viewpoint. Dougherty Road Overpass The Dougherty Road overpass serves as gateway into the southern portion of the City. The views of the project area are visible from this vantage point due to the height of the overpass. Existing views include industrial land uses in the foreground and the ridges in the background. The views of the project site would be limited in nature. The views to the project would be from southbound Dougherty Rd, from approximately Dublin Blvd. to 1580. Some of the peripheral views of the Mt. Diablo foothills would be partially blocked. Attachment 4b shows the proposed views from this vantage point. Dublin Boulevard This portion of Dublin Blvd serves as a gateway from the central portion of the City into Eastern Dublin. Existing views include the existing office development in the foreground, the BART station parking lots, power poles and wires and vacant land. Views that would be obstructed as a result of the development would be the eastern most Mt.. Diablo foothills. The views of these foothills form the horizon and the resulting view impacts would be negligible, due to the distance of the hills in background. Attachment 4h shows the proposed views from this vantage point. 4 VISUAL IMPACT ANALYSIS As a result of the proposed 10 and 12 story development visibility of the ridgelands and/or Mount Diablo from the key public viewpoints would be reduced, but would not be completely eliminated. The majority of the proposed development would be readily visible to the general public from 1-580, the Iron Horse Trail and the BART station platform. The project however would not be readily visible from within a majority of residential neighborhoods of Dublin or Pleasanton, as demonstrated by the photomontages in Attachment 4. As a result of the project the one visual impact that is anticipated is the degradation of ridge land views, including Mount Diablo, from the key public viewpoints (shown on Attachment 3). Illustrated below are several options for allowable height limits for the City Council to consider with the text of the options are listed below (see Attachment 6): Option 1: 10 to 12 Story Height Limit (Proposed Project as illustrated in Attachment 6a -view 8b) This option would provide a height limit as proposed and would adopt a standard height limit throughout the project area. Pro and Cons of Option 1 Pros: 1. Allowing the maximum height limit would maximize the development potential adjacent to an existing BART station, on an in-fill site with close proximity to jobs, freeways, and infrastructure. 2. Allowing the maximum development would support transit-oriented development which would decrease reliance on the automobile. 3. Allowing the maximum height limit would concentrate development on a site thereby leaving opportunities for public open space (i.e., plazas, walkways, etc.); provisions for pedestrian access, as well as opportunities for visual access. Cons: 1. The project would result in a substantial change from the existing development pattern in Dublin and other Tri-Valley cities. 2. The project would result in changes to the existing views from Dougherty Road overpass, the BART station platform, the Iron Horse Trail, and Dublin Blvd. Option 2: Transitional Height Limit (12 to 8 to 6 stories) Attachment 6b -view 8a) This option would reduce the maximum heights proposed by concentrating 10-12 story buildings to the south closest to the freeway and the BART station; providing a transition in height, from 10-12 on the south, to 8 stories in the center and closest to Dublin Blvd.; and would maintain a 6 story residential height limit for the ~esidential areas proposed west of Iron Horse Parkway. This option would provide a transition in height from south to north, with the tallest buildings on the south. 5 , IIi -: , II'.. .. ......... II .' II IIi III III II II II II III . .
