Background
The At Dublin project is proposed on the property formerly owned by the Dublin Land
Company. The 76.2 acre property is located north of I-580 between Tassajara Road
and Brannigan Street and extends to the north of Gleason Drive as shown in Figure 1
below. The property is located in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (ED SP) area and
has Planned Development Zoning (Resolution No. 104 -94) adopted with the EDSP.
The site is generally surrounded by commercial uses to the southwest and southeast
and residential uses to the northwest and northeast as shown in Figure 1 and Table1.

The Project site is vacant land and is generally flat with a slight slope from a higher
elevation at the northerly boundary to a slightly lower elevation towards the southerly
boundary. At one time the property was used for agricultural purposes and has
remained vacant (except for temporary seasonal uses) with low lying native and non -
native grasses turned periodically for the purpose s of weed abatement. A small group
of trees and shrubs is located near the corner of Tassajara Road and Central Parkway.
No grading for development purposes has occurred to date.
The site currently has General Plan/Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use d esignations
of Neighborhood Commercial, General Commercial, Medium High Density Residential,
High Density Residential, and Public/Semi-Public as shown in Figure 2 below. The
majority of the site is designated General Commercial with varying densities of
residential along Brannigan Street and Gleason Drive.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan assumed average development intensity for each land
use designation. As summarized in Table 2 below, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
anticipated development of 261 residential units and 902,563 square feet of commercial
on this site (the acreages shown are approximate and were based on information
available at the time the Specific Plan was adopted).
The majority of the site, excluding the most northerly portion, is lo cated with the Airport
Influence Area (AIA)/Overlay Zoning District. This area is designated as an area in
which current or future airport-related noise, overflight, safety and/or airspace protection
factors may affect land uses or necessitate restrictions on those uses. The AIA is a
designation by the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission.

Shea Properties and SCS Development Company are proposing to amend the General
Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to modify and redistribute the existing land uses
in order to accommodate a proposed mixed use development on the property. It is the
City Council’s policy to initiate all General Plan Amendment Studies prior to accepting
an application and beginning work on such a request.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed project consists of a mix of lifestyle retail and residential uses. In order to
accommodate the proposed project, the applicant proposes to r edistribute and simplify
the six existing land use designations in the Study Area to four land use designations
organized in large blocks. The proposed land use designations are generally consistent
with the land use patterns of the surrounding properties. The proposed land uses, from
the south to the north are: General Commercial; Mixed Use; Medium High Density
Residential; and Medium Density Residential. The proposal would allow up to 450,000
square feet of commercial uses and up to 700 residential units as shown in Figure 3 and
Table 3 below.

Medium-Density Residential 23.8 190 10 -- --
Total 76.2 700 -- -- 450,000
At this time, the Applicant is requesting initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study.
Development of the site would require additional entitlements including: a) Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan Amendment consistent with the proposed General Plan
Amendment; b) Planned Development Rezone with related Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plans; c) Tentative Map; and d) Site Development Review Permit.
If the City Council initiates a General Plan Amendment Study, Staff would then:
1. Determine the associated impacts from the land use change;
2. Complete a fiscal impact analysis of the proposed land use change s;
3. Conduct the appropriate level of environmental review and documentation;
4. Perform any additional studies that may be required; and
5. Prepare an analysis of the project for consideration by the Planning Commission
and the City Council.
Work on the General Plan Amendment Study would be completed concurrently with
processing the other entitlements that are requested by the Applicant. Once the
General Plan Amendment Study is complete, Staff would then bring the application to
the Planning Commission for their recommendation to City Council. The project would
then move forward to the City Council for consideration.
Staff has prepared draft Resolutions approving and denying the initiation of a General
Plan Amendment Study. The draft Resolutions are included as Attachments 4 and 5.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Although a public notice is not required to review a request to initiate a General Plan
Amendment Study, the City mailed in excess of 2,000 notices to surrounding residents
and businesses including the following neighboring communities: The Cottages, The
Villas, The Courtyards, Sorrento West, Sonata, a portion of Tassajara Meadows,
Grafton Station, and the Waterford residential and commercial developments. Also, as
is practice, notices were sent to the list of potentially interested parties. A public notice
was published in the East Bay Times and posted in the designated posting places. A
copy of this Staff Report was provided to the applicant and was made available on the
City’s website.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends that the initiation of the General Plan Amendment Study be found
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15306,
Class 6 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Information Collectio n).

Subject: AT Dublin — General Plan Request
Dear Ms. Million:
Shea Properties in partnership with SCS Development Company is pleased to submit our request to
initiate a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) amendments to support the proposed
development, AT Dublin. We are seeking consideration to develop approximately 76 -gross acre site
bounded by Tassajara, Brannigan, 1 -580 and a small portion north of Gleason Drive (the property). The
property currently consists of five vacant parcels previously known as the Di Manto property. July of this
year, the property changed ownership to SCS Development Company. SCS and Shea Properties have
entered a partnership for the entitlement and development of the property.
The property is located in the General Plan's Eastern Extended Planning Area and the EDSP area and has
a Planned Development Zoning adopted as part of the EDSP, with no development plans approved. The
property has several General Plan and EDSP land use designations; General Commercial, Neighborhood
Commercial, High Density Residential, Medium -High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential
and a small portion of Public /Semi - Public land use. The existing land use designations would support up
to 902,563 square feet of commercial uses, and 261 housing units.
The proposed project simplifies these land uses to support up to 450,000 SF of commercial uses, up to
300 apartment units, and up to 400 for sale homes. The following table shows the proposed land use
breakdown:

TASSAJARA ROAD
AT Dublin
PROJECT VISION
At Dublin is envisioned as an amenity-rich, mixed-use destination that includes a vibrant retail and
entertainment gathering place. The centerpiece of the community will be a market plaza (the “Front
Porch”) and village green (the “Side Yard”) surrounded by culinary options that showcase the Tri-Valley’s
bounty of vineyards, orchards, ranches, farms and artisanal food producers. Complementing the food
scene will be up-scale entertainment, such as a cinema/theatre and modern/retro bowling alley, each
with distinctive beverage and dining experiences.
The Front Porch and Side Yard will serve as ideal venues for outdoor fairs, community table events and
performances. Landscaped paseos and pedestrian pathways will directly connect the market and open
space areas with the residential villages, surrounding neighborhoods and nearby Emerald Glen Park.
The apartment community would be integrated with the retail as a mixed-use village, having ground
floor retail and amenities to activate the town center 24/7. The for sale residential housing AT Dublin is
envisioned to provide a broad selection of new ownership housing opportunities within a pedestrian
oriented community. The housing products being considered is a combination of townhomes and small
lot single family detached, oriented to give an urban-town feel with front stoops, and a network of
pathways, gardens and courtyards. The prospective buyer pool is anticipated to be highly diverse with a
demographic predominately being young professionals, and residents whom are renting and want to
make Dublin their hometown.
The Shea Properties team has been actively in the commercial market over the past nine months,
meeting with prospective key tenants. The proposed plan reflects the input received, as tenants today
are looking for pedestrian scale, outdoor living opportunities with a balanced mix of uses that places
residents at their front door.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
A comprehensive plan balanced between experienced based commercial and diverse mix of
residential.
Fiscally positive development with added sales tax, transit occupancy tax and property tax
Job generation estimated to be over 500 annual jobs
Community room with outdoor plaza space anchored by a future hotel for private and public events.
Right-of-way improvements of 6 to 7 acres, approximately $14 million of improved roadways,
parkways and sidewalks.
Approximately 3 acres of connecting open space, pedestrian pathways and public plazas that are
adaptable public spaces for festivals, celebrations and community events.
