SECTION 2: FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The Schaefer Ranch Unit 3 Project Planned Development zoning meets the purpose
and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a comprehensive development plan that
creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the
layout and design of the site plan.
2. Development of the Project under the Planned Development zoning and the related
Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan will be harmonious and compatible with existing and
future development in the surrounding area in that the site will provide residential
development consistent with the surrounding development by providing unique floor plan
designs and the incorporation of open space components while also being sensitive to
the surrounding hillsides and conservation areas.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds
as follows.
1. The Planned Development zoning for the Project and the related Stage 1 and 2
Development Plan will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential
development in the surrounding area in that the proposed site plan has taken into
account sensitive adjacencies.
2. The project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district
being proposed in that the Project maintains the general character and density of
adjacent development. The project site conditions are documented in the adopted CEQA
Addendum; the environmental impacts that have been identified will be mitigated, and the
project will implement all adopted mitigation measures. There are no site conditions that
were identified in the Schaefer Ranch EIR and Project CEQA Addendum that will present
an impediment to development of the site for the intended purposes. There are no major
physical or topographic constraints and thus the site is physically suitable for the type and
intensity of the proposed residential uses approved through the Planned Development
zoning.
3. The Planned Development zoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety
and welfare in that the project will comply with all applicable development regulations and
standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures. The Project uses are
compatible with surrounding uses.

4. The Planned Development zoning is consistent with the Dublin General Plan, as
amended, in that the proposed residential uses and site plan are consistent with the
Single Family Residential and Open Space land use designations for the site.
C. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council approved a CEQA
Addendum on June 7, 2016, as set forth in Resolution 90-16, which resolution is incorporated
herein by reference and available for review at City Hall during normal business hours.
SECTION 3: ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
Pursuant to Chapter 8.32, Title 8 of the City of Dublin Municipal Code the City of Dublin Zoning
Map is amended to rezone the property described below to a Planned Development Zoning

7. Architectural Standards.
The following three (3) architectural styles are shown in the Stage 2 Development Plan.
The variety of architectural styles will provide visual interest and identity for each
neighborhood street. The architectural elements will be articulated and themed to
represent a variety of styles through color, texture, and massing details. The architectural
styles, along with design elements, are identified below:
Monterey: The Monterey style is characterized by low-pitched gable roof and cantilevered
second story balconies covered by the principal roof of flat or "S" concrete tile. Wall
materials typically are different for first and second floors generally consisting of extensive
use of brick on the lower levels with stucco, wood siding, or board and batten above.
Architectural elements include simple wooden posts and railings, shutters, window frames,
and gable end accents. Colors are California mission blends with varied color accents.
Early Californian: Early Californian is distinguished by simple massing and the principal
roof material of concrete barrel tiles representing terracotta in color and form on a hip or
gable roof above shorter overhangs. Stucco finished exteriors are accented by arched
doorways, shutters, wrought iron detailing, and gable end accents. Colors are California
mission and brown blends with varied tone accents.
English Country: Formal characteristics of the English County style are identified by
steeper pitched roof elements with gable forms, stucco accent walls, use of brick accents,
and half-timbered details. Stone features, bricked archways, decorative corbels, and multi-
paned windows give this style its country image along with the hip and gable roof
elements. Colors and materials are lighter charcoal and brown blends with earthy green
tone accents.
8. Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. In accordance with Section 8.68.030 A. of the City of
Dublin Zoning Ordinance, projects with 20 or more lots are subject to the Inclusionary Housing
requirements. This project will comprise a total of 18 lots if approved and, therefore is not
subject to this requirement.
9. Applicable Requirements of Dublin Zoning Ordinance. Except as specifically provided in
this Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan, the use, development, improvement and maintenance of
the property shall be governed by the provisions of the closest comparable Zoning District as
determined by the Community Development Director and of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance

Plan. No development shall occur on this property until a Site Development Review permit has
