AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
AMENDING THE ZONING MAP AND APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING
DISTRICT WITH A RELATED STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE ZEISS
INNOVATION CENTER PROJECT PLPA 2017-00025 (APN 986-0014-010-00)
The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Applicant, Carl Zeiss Inc., proposes to construct the Zeiss Innovation Center project,
which consists of a 433,090 square foot research and development campus comprised of two
buildings, a parking structure, and associated site, frontage, and landscape improvements.
Requested land use approvals include a Planned Development Rezone with a Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan, a Site Development Review Permit for Phase 1 (a 208,650 square foot research
and development building), and a Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration. These planning and
implementing actions are collectively known as the "Zeiss Innovation Center Project" or the "Project."
B. The project site is approximately 11 .36 acres located at the northeast corner of Dublin
Boulevard and Arnold Road (APN 986-0014-010-00).
C. The project is located in the General Plan Eastern Extended Planning Area and the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan area, for which the City Council certified a Program Environmental Impact Report
by Resolution 51-93 ("Eastern Dublin EIR" or "EDEIR", SCH 91103064) on May 10, 1993, which
resolution is incorporated herein by reference. The Eastern Dublin EIR identified significant impacts
from development of the Eastern Dublin area, some of which could not be mitigated to less than
significant. Upon approval of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, the
City Council adopted mitigations, a mitigation monitoring program and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations (Resolution 53-93, incorporated herein by reference).
D. In 2001, the City prepared a modified Initial Study to evaluate whether additional
environmental review than in the Eastern Dublin EIR was needed for a proposed Cisco development
project. Based on the Initial Study, the City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration dated June
2001 (SCH 1991103064). The City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND),
Statement of Overriding considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring Program for the change in the
General Plan designation and zoning on the project site to Campus Office on April 15, 2003
(Resolution No. 65-03, incorporated herein by reference).
E. The City prepared a modified Initial Study to determine whether supplemental environmental
review was required for the proposed Zeiss Innovation Center project under CEQA standards. The
Initial Study examined whether there were substantial changes to the proposed development,
substantial changes in circumstances, or new information, any of which would result in new or more
severe significant impacts than analyzed in the prior Eastern Dublin EIR and Cisco MND or whether
any standards for supplemental environmental review were met.
F. Upon completion of the Initial Study it was determined that there were new potentially
significant impacts associated with the project related to biological resources; therefore, a
Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared to analyze those biological impacts.
Ord No. 01-18, Adopted 3/20/2018, Item No. 4.9 Page 1 of 10
G. The Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study was circulated for public review
from December 13, 2017 to January 30, 2018.
H. The City of Dublin received four comment letters during the public review period.
Following a public hearing on February 13, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution 18-02 recommending that the City Council adopt the Supplemental Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, which resolution is
incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall during normal business hours.
J. Following a public hearing on February 13, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution 18-03, recommending approval of the Planned Development Rezone and related Stage 1
and 2 Development Plan, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference and available for
review at City Hall during normal business hours.
K. A Staff Report, dated March 6, 2018, and incorporated herein by reference, described and
analyzed the Project, including the Planned Development Rezone and related Stage 1 and 2
Development Plan, for the City Council.
L. On March 6, 2018, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the project,
including the proposed Planned Development Rezone and related Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan,
at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard.
M. The City Council considered the Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration and related
prior CEQA documents and all above referenced reports, recommendations, and testimony prior to
taking action on the project.
SECTION 2: FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The Zeiss Innovation Center Project ("the Project") PD-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 Zeiss Innovation Center project under the PD-Planned Development
zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the
surrounding area in that the site will provide new office buildings in an area that has similar
uses nearby and is also adjacent to existing and future workplaces and residential
neighborhoods.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows.
1. The PD-Planned Development zoning for the Zeiss Innovation Center project 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 and will provide
employment opportunities to the surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed site plan has
Ord No. 01-18, Adopted 3/20/2018, Item No. 4.9 Page 2 of 10
taken into account a land use type and density that is compatible with the adjacent areas and
densities.
2. The project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being
proposed in that the project site is flat with improved public streets on three sides and served
by existing public utilities. The project site conditions are documented in the Supplemental
Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study and prior certified Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) and Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the project will implement all adopted mitigation
measures, as applicable. There are no site conditions that were identified in the Supplemental
Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study that will present an impediment to development of
the site for the proposed campus office development.
3. The PD-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, as applicable. The project uses are compatible
with surrounding uses.
4. The PD-Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the Dublin
General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, in that the proposed use as a research and
development facility is consistent with the existing Campus Office land use designations for the
site.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council finds as follows:
1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council adopted a
Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program via Resolution 21-18 on March 6, 2018, prior to approving the project.
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 District and
supersedes and replaces the previously adopted zoning (Resolution 105-85):
11.36 acres located on the northeast corner of Dublin Boulevard and Arnold Road. (Assessor
Parcel Numbers 986-0014-010-00) ("the Property").

General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation of Campus Office, which
permits a floor area ratio of 0.25 to 0.80. The FAR for the site is based upon the combined square
footages for entire Site 15 (15A: APN 986-0014-010& 15B: APN 986-0014-011).
5. Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. The project is not subject to the Inclusionary Zoning
