1. The proposed Planned DeveloPment Prezone meets the intent and purpose of Chapter 8.32
of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a comprehensive Development Plan which will create a
desirable use of land and an environment that will be sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the
layout and design of the site plan; and

setting forth the purpose, applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, range of permitted and
conditionally permitted uses and Development Standards, which will be compatible with existing and
proposed residential and open space uses in the immediate vicinity and will enhance the development of the
Specific Plan Area; and
3. The Planned Development Prezone will provide for the development of future phases of the
Quarry lame School on land designated by the Eastem Dublin Specific Plan for Medium Density
Residential and Rural Residential/Agricultural land uses. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan envisions this
area denoted as subarea G: Foothill Residential in the Specific Plan to be developed with predominantly
residential and open space uses as well as uses including public schools and parks; it is therefore
appropriate for schools, both public and private to be located in residential neighborhoods in close
proximity to the students they serve; the project is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and
purpose of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and will contribute towards implementation of said Plan; and
4. The Planned Development Prezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and
purpose of the PD Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information required by
Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H,
of the Zoning Ordinance; and
5. The Planned Development Prezone will provide efficient use of land and will preserve an
area of open space and undisturbed hillside along the north and primarily the northeast corner of the
property; and will be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area; and will create an
attractive, efficient and safe environment and physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning and
uses proposed; and
6. The Planned Development Prezone will not have a substantial adverse effect on health or
safety or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public
improvement, as all applicable regulations will be met; and
7. The Planned Development Prezone will not overburden public services or facilities as all
agencies must commit to the availability of Public Services prior to the issuance of any building permits as
required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and Mitigation Measures; and
8. The Planned Development Prezone will be consistent with the policies of the Dublin
General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and
9. The Planned Development Prezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience and
general welfare; and
10. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program and the
additional site specific mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study (Attachment 6 to StaffReport)

purpose of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because the prezoning will establish land uses and densities

area designated for open space uses along the southern portion of the property to preserve the creek
corridor and provide passive recreational areas; will be compatible with and enhance the general
development of the area; and will create an attractive, efficient and safe environment; and
