WHEREAS, the application also includes a companion Conditional Use Permit to amend the
Planned Development zoning (Ordinance No. 11-06) and Site Development Review, and approval of
a Lot Line Adjustment to modify the boundaries of lot 70 to incorporate the subject 0.35 acres. The
proposed development applications are collectively known as the "Project"; and
WHEREAS, the Project site is located within the Schaefer Ranch Development in the Western
Extended Planning Area near the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Schaefer Ranch Road; and

LB.4) as shown in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State
guidelines and City environmental regulations, require that certain projects be reviewed for

Unit 3 and a 1.14-acre area at the end of Ridgeline Place (Unit 1), which included the 0.35 acres
proposed to be combined with lot 70. The 2016 Addendum was approved by the City Council on
June 7, 2016; and
WHEREAS, no further environmental document is needed because the environmental impacts
of this project were fully addressed and within the scope of the Final EIR and subsequent Addendums
prepared for the Schaefer Ranch project; and
WHEREAS, on October 24, 2017, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 17-11
(incorporated herein by reference) recommending that the City Council deny the project approvals
which include the General Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit to amend the Planned
Reso No. 145-17, Adopted 11/21/2017, Item No. 6.1 Page 1 of 3
Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan and Site Development Review Permit for Schaefer
Ranch Lot 70 based on the following: 1) Loss of public open space; 2) no evidence of public benefit
resulting from action; and 3) Concern that the approval could set a precedent for other homeowners
to increase their lot size by incorporating adjacent open space; and
WHEREAS, on November 21, 2017 the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing to
consider the Project, including the proposed Conditional Use Permit, at which time all interested
parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report dated November 21, 2017 and incorporated herein by reference
described and analyzed the project for the City Council and recommended approval of the
Conditional Use Permit for the Project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and use their independent judgment and considered all
said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth prior to taking any action on the
project; and
WHEREAS, on November 21, 2017, following a public hearing the City Council adopted
Resolution 144-17 approving a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of
approximately 0.35 acres located on Parcel U and I of Tract 6755 adjacent to lot 70 from Open Space
to Single-Family Residential.

amendment substantially complies with and does not materially change the provisions or
intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance for the site.
