DESCRIPTION:
Background
The project site, commonly referred to as the Prologis site, is located at 6700 Golden
Gate Drive. This subject property is located in the Transit-Oriented District of the
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP). The 8.53 acre industrial site currently owned
4.1

by AMB Dublin, LLC, is located north of the I-580 freeway and south of the future
extension of Saint Patrick Way, as shown in Figure 1 below. Adjacent to the west
boundary of the property are two restaurants (Outback Steakhouse and a vacant
restaurant space) as well as commercial retail uses. To the east of the site is a 309 unit
residential development, Connolly Station. The site currently includes a partially vacant
204,624 square foot warehouse building, surface parking lot, and outdoor storage area
for an existing tenant.
Figure 1: Vicinity Map
The DDSP provides a list of permitted uses, development standards and design
guidelines for all development with the Plan area. The DDSP identified a pool of 1,900
residential units that may be constructed in the Transit Oriented District. A developer
must provide a benefit to the community for the use of these units. Since the
establishment of the pool, 688 units have been constructed. There are 1,212 units
remaining in this pool as shown in Table 1 below.

Project Overview
Bayview Development Group/The Morley Bros. proposes to demolish the existing
warehouse building and construct the ultimate extension of Saint Patrick Way, and
construct a 5 story, 499 unit apartment community with related amenities including a
club house, pool, roof top terrace, passive courtyards, leasing office and structured
parking. The proposed unit mix is shown in Table 2 below. The entitlements for the
project are anticipated to include a Site Development Review Permit, Condominium
Map, and a Community Benefit Agreement.

Unit Type Number of Units
Studios 49
1 Bedrooms 240
2 Bedrooms 210
Total: 499
The applicant has prepared a conceptual site plan and elevations of the proposed
project as viewed from Saint Patrick Way and from Interstate 580 (Attachment 1). The
architectural concept for the development is a contemporary five story building designed
to front along the future extension of Saint Patrick Way. The conceptual design shows
a variety of contemporary building materials (including wood composite lap siding,
stucco, metal awnings), varying vertical parapet heights and upper level balconies. The
front façade is complemented on both the ground level and roof level. The ground level
is highlighted with a an entry plaza with a change in paving materials leading to a lobby,
leasing office and community amenities that front along Saint Patrick Way and will help
to activate the streetscape. The roof level provides a terrace which provides an open
architectural feature that is also visible from Saint Patrick Way.
The following is an overview of the DDSP Development Standards for the Transit
Oriented District and a comparison to the proposed project.

Community Benefit Agreement
As defined in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan, units acquired from the Development
Pool require a community benefit. The community benefit can come in the form of an
improvement, payment or amenity desirable to the City Council in or for the benefit of
the Downtown area.
Staff has met with the applicant to review possible options for the City Council’s
consideration. The applicant is proposing to achieve the community benefit through
three distinct and important ways – affordable housing, enhanced streetscape along St.
Patrick Way and supporting the City’s economic development efforts.
Affordable Housing
The applicant is proposing, as a means to satisfy the affordable housing requirement,
the dedication of a 1.3-acre site just west of the said property for the purposes of
developing affordable workforce housing. As proposed, the applicant would sell the site
to Eden Housing for a nominal fee.
However, the majority of the community benefit for the dedication and ultimate creation
of affordable housing is in the additional credit market created for the units. As was the
case for units created for Valor Crossing, the City will hold the excess credits of
affordable units and can sell these credits to other projects in the community as a
means of satisfying their affordable requirements. This could potentially yield the City
$10 million in future revenues.
Saint Patrick Way Streetscape Enhancements
The proposed project would trigger the requirement to design, build and extend Saint
Patrick Way from its current edge westward to Regional Street. The applicant and Staff
have met to discuss significant enhancements to this segment of the street, creating
plaza type improvements in an effort to make St. Patrick Way the destination street for
events and activities. As proposed, the street would be able to be closed to use it as a
place to hold weekend morning Farmers’ Markets, in addition to other street fairs and
food truck events to be hosted by the City.
The applicant can provide more detail on the street enhancements as part of the study
session.
Economic Development Efforts
As part of the proposed project, the applicant would work with the City to provide a co-
work space for local residents, entrepreneurs and emerging businesses. This space
would be located within the project and on a prominent corner of the building. The
space would open up to the enhanced plaza street location. The applicant would
subsidize the space operation for a period of 10 years.
Next Steps
The City Council is requested to provide Staff and the applicant with feedback and
direction regarding the proposed project and the negotiated deal points of a Community
Benefit Agreement. Based on the feedback from the City Council, Staff will continue to
work with the applicant on project details and the preparation of a complete application
for a Site Development Review Permit and Condominium Map for consideration and
4.1

action by the Planning Commission. The City Manager will prepare a Community
Benefit Agreement that will be brought forward to the City Council for consideration after
the Planning Commission takes action on the entitlement application.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Although a public notice is not required, the City mailed a notice to all property owners
and occupants within 300-feet of the proposed project. 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.

STAFF REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION
DATE: March 27, 2018
TO: Planning Commission
SUBJECT:
St. Patrick Way Residential Project - Site Development Review and
Vesting Tentative Map 10809 (PLPA-2017-00061)
Prepared by:Amy Million, Prinicpal Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bayview Development Group/The Morley Bros. is seeking to develop a ± 8.53 acre site
located at 6700 Golden Gate Drive within the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Transit -
Oriented District. The proposal includes the demolition of the existing largely vacant
204,624 square foot warehouse building, construction of the final extension of St.
Patrick Way and construction of a five-story, 499-unit residential building and related
site improvements. The project includes a request for a Vestin g Tentative Map for
condominium purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Disclose ex-parte contacts, conduct the public hearing, deliberate and adopt a
Resolution approving a Site Development Review Permit and Vesting Tentative Map
10809 for the St. Patrick Way Project at 6700 Golden Gate Drive in Downtown Dublin.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site, commonly referred to as the Prologis site, is located at 6700 Golden
Gate Drive. The ±8.53-acre site is located north of I-580 and south of the future
extension of St. Patrick Way, as shown in Figure 1 below. Adjacent to the west
boundary of the property are two restaurants (Outback Steakhouse and a vacant
restaurant space) as well as a retail/office building on the adjacent 1.3 acre site. To the
east of the site is a 309-unit residential development, Connelly Station. The site
currently includes a largely vacant 204,624 square foot warehouse/industrial building,
surface parking lot, and outdoor storage area for an existing tenant. Industrial uses are
not permitted in the DDSP which results in the building’s existing industrial use being
legal-nonconforming. The existing warehouse building presents challenges to
repurposing it with conforming commercial uses. Such challenges include parking and
building code compliance.

The subject property is located within the Transit-Oriented District of the Downtown
Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP). This land use designation allows a variety of uses,
including residential, retail and office uses.
The DDSP identified a pool of 1,900 residential units that may be constructed in the
Transit Oriented District. As part of the proposed project, the applicant is required to
enter into a Community Benefit Agreement in exchange for using units from the pool.
The Community Benefit Agreement is subject to review and approval by the City
Council. Since the establishment of the pool, 688 units have been constructed. There
are 1,212 units remaining in this pool as shown in Table 1 below.

Packet Pg. 10
Page 3 of 17
• Dedication of a 1.3-acre site just west of the subject property for the
purposes of developing affordable housing
• Enhanced streetscape along St. Patrick Way to allow for its use for special
events and Downtown activation.
• Supporting the City’s economic development effort through providing a
collaborative work space within the project for local residents,
entrepreneurs and emerging businesses.
City Council directed Staff to proceed with processing the project entitlements for
consideration by the Planning Commission and prepare a Community Benefit
Agreement for the City Council to consider.
Current Request
Bayview Development Group/The Morley Bros. proposes to demolish the existing
industrial warehouse building, construct the ultimate extension of St. Patrick Way and
construct a five-story, 499-unit residential community with related amenities including a
club house, pool, roof top terrace, passive courtyards, collaborative work space, leasing
office and structured parking. The entitlements for the project that are being presented
to the Planning Commission for consideration are a Site Development Review Permit
and Tentative Parcel Map for condominium purposes. The Community Benefit
Agreement, which allocates the units, will be considered separately by the City Council.
ANALYSIS:
Site Development Review
The DDSP contains allowed uses, development standards, and design guidelines for all
projects within its boundaries. The development standards contained in the DDSP are
purposefully permissive to allow flexibility in project design and implementation.
The proposed building meets all the development standards of the Transit-Oriented
District (DDSP Section 4.2). An overview of those standards is provided in Table 2
below.

In addition to defining uses, development standards, and design guidelines, the DDSP
also includes a set of guiding principles to help prioritize the direction and developm ent
strategy for Downtown Dublin as a whole (DDSP Section 3.3). The purpose of the
guiding principles is to define a framework for future land uses, development standards
and design guidelines. For details on the project’s consistency with those guiding
principles see the “Consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plans, and Zoning
Ordinance” section below.
Overall Site Plan and Circulation
The proposed building includes 499 market rate apartments and a 1,500 square foot
collaborate work space along the extension of St. Patrick Way. The 499-units will be
distributed through five floors which wrap around three internal courtyards and a five -
story parking structure. The 1,500 square foot collaborative work space is located on
the ground floor at northeast corner of the building facing St. Patrick Way.
Vehicular access to the site is provided by a single driveway off St. Patrick Way. The
driveway provides access to the parking garage as well as guest parking spaces along
the driveway. A second vehicle access, for emergency vehicles only, is provided off
West Street, a private road along the eastern property line, which is shared with the
adjacent residential community, Connelly Station. This access road is restricted with a
gate at the entry (located at the property line) that wraps around the building to the
south, providing a buffer between the proposed building and I -580.
Pedestrian access to the site is provided from St. Patrick Way, West Street and the
project drive. A plaza feature has been designed in front of the leasing office centrally
located along the St. Patrick Way street frontage. The plaza and leasing office create a
focal point for the front façade with enhanced pavement in the plaza leading to the
leasing office, which is designed as an open two-story interior space. A small second
lobby is located on the east side of the building near the emergency vehicle access road
off West Street. This lobby provides a direct pedestrian connection to South Street
which leads to Golden Gate Drive and the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. A
5.1
Packet Pg. 12
Page 5 of 17
pedestrian gate next to the emergency vehicle gate will provide secure access for the
residents using this lobby. A third lobby is located on the west side of the building off the
project drive adjacent to the guest parking spaces.
As outlined in Table 2 above, there are a total of 771 parking spaces on -site, both at-
grade and in the parking garage. The parking requirement for residential uses in the
DDSP area is 1.5 spaces per residential unit and up to 15% add itional spaces for guest
parking. Consistent with the DDSP, the applicant is proposing to provide 1.5 spaces per
unit (749 spaces) and a limited amount of guest parking of 2.1% (16 spaces) that the
applicant feels will adequately serve the needs of the building.
For commercial uses, the DDSP refers to the parking standards in the Dublin Zoning
Ordinance. The collaborative work space, located on the ground -floor facing St. Patrick
Way is designed to be open to the public, so that it can be used by both resi dents of the
project and non-residents. As such, a parking requirement of 1 space per 250 square
feet for a total of 6 spaces is required for this work space and will be provided on -site.
The DDSP requires private outdoor spaces for all residential development projects at a
ratio of 100 square feet per residential unit. This space may be provided in a series of
spaces which are common to all residents such as courtyards or roof gardens or private
to individual residences such as individual balconies and patios. A total of 49,990
square feet of open space is required for the proposed 499 units and 50,000 square feet
is provided. The layout of the building provides for individual balconies as well as three
large internal courtyards designed for both active and passive uses including a pool,
spa, BBQ, fountains, seating, and a fireplace. Additional detail on the courtyard spaces
is provided in the Landscape Design section below.
A site plan highlighting access locations and project features is provided in Figure 2
below and included as Attachment 2, Sheet A0.4.

As part of the review, the City engaged the services of Kittelson & Associates to
complete a project-level analysis of the transportation effects, which included a review
of the site circulation and access. The proposed project was determined to have
adequate site circulation and access for all users including residents, emergency
vehicles and service vehicles such as garage trucks.
St. Patrick Way Extension
The project includes the extension of St. Patrick Way from West Street to Regional
Street, completing the planned connection. The street incorporates the Complete
Streets standards of the General Plan (Section 5.4) with infrastructure for all modes of
transportation including vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. The applicant is proposing
to further enhance St. Patrick Way along this segment of the street. The proposal
includes creating plaza type improvements such as seat walls, enhanced paving, poles
for decorative string lights, temporary bollards, etc., in an effort to make St. Patrick Way
a destination street for events and activities. As proposed, the street could periodically
be closed for use as a place to hold Farmers’ Markets, in addition to other street fairs
and food truck events hosted by the City. Figures 3 and 4 below show completion of St.
Patrick Way and a detail of some of the proposed enhancements.
5.1
Packet Pg. 14
Page 7 of 17
The proposed street enhancements implement with the guiding principles identified in
the DDSP for the downtown such as:
• Enhance the visual quality of Downtown Dublin, including public streetscape
improvements, entryways, on‐site landscaping and the appearance of individual
buildings.
• Create a pedestrian‐friendly downtown that minimizes potential conflicts
between vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Enhance the multi‐modal circulation network to better accommodate alternative
transportation choices including BART, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian
transportation.
• Encourage development that will create a vibrant and dynamic downtown that is
considered an attractive and distinctive amenity to the Tri‐Valley Region.
• Work with property owners and business to achieve the goals and objectives of
the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan.
• The cost of infrastructure should be paid for by development.
The conceptual streetscape improvements are included in the project plans for
reference (Attachment 2, Sheets L1.2 and L5.1). The details on the streetscape
improvements will be included in the Community Benefit Agreement as previously
discussed.

Building Architecture and Materials
The architectural concept for the development is a contemporary building designed to
front along the future extension of St. Patrick Way. The north half of the building which
is primarily visible from St. Patrick Way and West Street focuses on the pedestrian
experience using smaller architectural details, materials and entry features. The
southern half of the building which is primarily visible from I -580 focuses on
experiencing the development from a vehicle on I -580 through its larger design features
and color palette. The two halves of the building relate through the building’s consistent
architectural theme and materials and differentiate through the changes in articulation
and details.
The building’s contemporary look and geometry follows the St. Patrick Way street
frontage with articulation and architectural features in key locations. The ground level
along St. Patrick Way is highlighted with an entry plaza with a change in paving
materials leading to a two-story interior leasing office. Entry stoops for the ground -floor
units provide pedestrian scale and create a direct connection to St. Patrick Way. At the
corner of St. Patrick Way and West Street is a two -story cooperative working space at
the ground level that also activates the corner. A partially open terrace is also provided
on the 5th floor above the leasing and amenity space along the St. Patrick Way frontage.

Figure 6. Detail view of Work Space and Front Entries on St. Patrick Way
The parking structure is located on the southern half of the building and is wrapped on
the three of the four sides, leaving the southern façade exposed to I -580. The building’s
architecture screens the parking structure which is accented by colorful metal screens
that are placed along the 5th floor of the parking structure and continued down the east
side of the south facade to the ground floor to add further interest.
Figure 7. South Elevation – I-580
The exterior materials throughout the building are a variety of contemporary building
materials including, wood composite lap siding, cementitious panels, stucco, glass and
metal awnings. The building’s façade is articulated through the use of two a nd three
story architectural elements, grouped windows and varying window patterns that create
visual interest at different levels. Balconies and awnings are used throughout the
buildings along with varying vertical parapet heights.

The roofline has a traditional contemporary form that rises and falls with the various
architectural projections. The open amenity space on the 5th floor directly above the
ground floor leasing office and amenity space off ers additional visual relief to the
building’s five-story mass. The building is further accented with balconies with wood
railings, glass panels along the 5th floor amenity space, and metal awnings over
selected windows and doors. These perspectives and elevations are included as
Attachment 2, Sheets A1.0-A2.3.
Landscape Design
The landscaping is designed to enhance the building’s architecture while
complementing the already established landscaping in the surrounding developments
and on the street. The landscape is also functionally designed to buffer the proposed
building in key locations such as along 1 -580 and the vacant property to the east
adjacent to BART. The DDSP encourages the use of landscaping on all sides of
buildings, along streets, walkways, driveways and private outdoor spaces. A
combination of trees, shrubs and groundcovers are also encouraged which may be
provided in planters, pots or in the ground. The DDSP supports the inclusion of shade
trees along walkways and near buildings. These encouraged features are included in
the proposed design.
The design concept for the interior courtyard continues the contemporary design theme.
The furnishings and plant palate are clean and contemporary. The three courtyard
spaces provide different functions with both active and passive uses. The most active
courtyard is the largest of the three and located directly behind the leasing and amenity
space. This area includes the pool and spa. The second courtyard is directly connected
to the first and is designed with a variety of seating, a fireplace and BBQs. The third
courtyard provides a passive setting for the units on the southern half of the building
closest to I-580. Due to its location, this space is designed to function less as an active
space and more as a passive open space for the residents.
5.1
Packet Pg. 18
Page 11 of 17
The plants selected will provide year-round seasonal interest, with a mix of evergreen
and deciduous plantings. The plantings will be drought tolerant with water management
features that will allow the site to use a minimum amount of water while creating an
attractive and thriving environment.
The conceptual landscape plan is included as Attachment 2, Sheet L1.1, which details
on Sheets L3.0 and L5.2.
Public Art
The applicant intends to satisfy the City’s public art requirement through the inclusion of
public art. The preliminary location of the art is shown along St. Patrick Way at the east
and west corners of the building. Condition of Approval No. 20 confirms the public art
requirement.
Vesting Tentative Map 10809
The Applicant has indicated that the proposed development will be rental housing;
however, a request to subdivide the ± 8.53 acre property for condominium purposes has
been included to allow flexibility in the future to convert the project to ownership units.
The vesting tentative map will allow up to the proposed 499 -units. No condominium
conversion may take place in the City without the owner first obtaining a Condominium
Conversion Permit pursuant to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.54 from the Planning
Commission. The Vesting Tentative Map is included in the Project Plans as Sheet
C1.0. The Resolution approving Vesting Tentative Map 10809 is included as
Attachment 1 to this Staff Report.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLANS, AND ZONING
ORDINANCE
The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Downtown
Dublin – Transit-Oriented District and the DDSP. The DDSP was written as a
comprehensive plan for future development in the Downtown area. The Specific P lan
contains the allowed uses, development standards, and design guidelines with which all
projects within the boundaries must be in compliance. The proposed project, with the
allocation of residential units from the Development Pool as described above, i s
consistent with the DDSP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The proposed facility has
been designed to be compatible with surrounding residential and commercial properties,
while encouraging the appropriate integration to activate this key area of Downtow n
Dublin. In addition, the proposed project will contribute to the implementation of the
vision of the DDSP and the housing opportunities offered in the DDSP area.
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Guiding Principles
A set of guiding principles are included to help prioritize the direction and development
strategy for Downtown Dublin as a whole (DDSP Section 3.3). The purpose of the
guiding principles is to define a framework for future land uses, development standards
and design guidelines.
In addition, guiding principles for Downtown Dublin as a whole, guiding principles have
been identified for the Transit‐Oriented District (DDSP Section 3.3.3). Those that apply
to the proposed project are as follows:
• Promote transit‐oriented development to create a distinctive and active district;
5.1
Packet Pg. 19
Page 12 of 17
• Identify opportunity sites for future development that incorporate mixed ‐use and
provide public and/or private plazas and outdoor gathering areas at strategic
locations; and
• Encourage underground and/or above ground parking stru ctures.
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Vision
The established vision of the DDSP is to make Downtown Dublin “a vibrant and
dynamic commercial and mixed-use center that provides a wide array of opportunities
for shopping, services, dining, working, living a nd entertainment in a pedestrian-friendly
and aesthetically pleasing setting that attracts both local and regional residents.” The
redevelopment of the subject property is an important incremental improvement to
advance this vision.
The proposed project also supports the narrower vision for the Transit-Oriented District
which is “to encourage the development of the area with land uses that support and
complement transit uses, particularly the West Dublin BART Station. These uses
include high-density multi-family residential and those that are generally more urban
that the surrounding area”. In addition, a pedestrian-scale, walkable environment is
encouraged through the development of plazas and connectively within the District and
areas outside the District. The proposed project with its completion of St. Patrick Way
and site design will further the vision of the Transit-Oriented District.
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Design Guidelines
The DDSP establishes design guidelines for development within the pl an area (DDSP
Section 4.4). The proposed project meets the key design guidelines of the DDSP
(DDSP Section 4.4), including:
• Using high-quality building materials and treating all building facades that are
visible from the public realm with similar archite ctural elements, materials, and
colors;
• Incorporating treatments into the building design to ensure articulation and visual
interest by utilizing techniques such as changing direction of the wall or façade,
altering the height of the rooflines, providing p rojecting elements such as
canopies, balconies, trellises, and breaking up large surfaces with logical
changes in materials, texture, or colors;
• Use of bold colors as accent features only and maximizing the use of muted or
soft colors;
• For residential uses, porches, balconies, and courtyards and providing ground-
floor access to both individual and common building entrances; and
• Finishing materials and color used on all building facades should be
complementary to cone another and appropriate for the architec tural style and
character of the building.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING/INCLUSIONARY ZONING
The inclusionary requirement for a 499 -unit residential project is 62 units. The applicant
is proposing to satisfy the affordable housing requirement through the dedicati on of a
1.3-acre site just west of the subject property for the purposes of developing affordable
housing. As proposed, the applicant would sell the property to the City or an affordable
housing developer for a nominal fee. As was the case for units create d for the Valor
5.1
Packet Pg. 20
Page 13 of 17
Crossing Veteran’s Housing Project, the City will hold any excess credits of affordable
units and can sell these credits to other projects in the community as a means of
satisfying their affordable requirements.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Department, and Dublin
San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided Conditions of Approval
where appropriate to ensure that the Project is established in comp liance with all local
Ordinances and Regulations. Conditions of Approval from these departments and
agencies have been included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 1).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project which includes demolition of the existing wareho use building, construction
of the ultimate extension of St. Patrick Way, and construction of a 5 story, 499 unit
apartment community with related amenities including a club house, pool, roof top
terrace, passive courtyards, leasing office and structured parking, is located within the
Transit-Oriented District of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP), which was the
subject of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), State Clearinghouse number
20100022005. The DDSP Final EIR was certified by City Council Res olution No. 08-11
on February 1, 2011. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the
proposed residential development is (1) exempt from further environmental review
under Government Code Section 65457 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 a nd
under (2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 this residential project is in conformity with
the DDSP and within the scope of the project analyzed in the DDSP EIR; therefore, no
further CEQA review or document is required.
Government Code sec. 65457 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 - Exemption
Pursuant to Government Code sec. 65457 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15182(a)
(Residential Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan) of the CEQA Guidelines which states:
"Exemption. Where a public agency has prepared an EIR on a specific plan after
January 1, 1980, no EIR or negative declaration need be prepared for a residential
project undertaken pursuant to and in conformity to that specific plan if the project
meets the requirements of this section including” an event as described in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162. As identified in CEQA Section 15162 and briefly describes
as follows, supplemental environmental review is required only when there are new or
substantially more severe significant environmental impacts which require major
revisions to the EIR due to project changes, substantial changes with respect to
circumstances under which the project is undertaken or new information of substantial
importance, or other standards under CEQA section 15162 are met.
On February 1, 2011, the Dublin City Council adopted Resolution 09 -11 adopting the
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP). At the meeting, the City Council adopted
Resolution 08-11 certifying an EIR for the DDSP. The purpose of the adopted DDSP
was to guide development and design for the approximately 284 acres located in
Downtown Dublin. The DDSP consists of a comprehensive set of incentives, standards,
and requirements that implements the vision for the future development of downtown
Dublin. The DDSP defines the physical envelope for Downtown Dublin’s future growth
using height limits, setbacks, density, and design standards.

On May 6, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 49-14 adopting an Addendum to
the DDSP EIR for changes to the DDSP. The changes included increasing the number
of residential units permitted in the DDSP area by 1,200 units and decreasing the
amount of commercial square footage permitted by 773,000 square feet, creating
minimum density thresholds for the Transit-Oriented and Retails Districts, and restricting
residential development on the west side of San Ramon Road in the Retail District.
DDSP EIR and the subsequent addendum analyzed the construction of approximately
2.2 million square feet of non-residential development and 2,500 residential dwelling
units, included in the DDSP. Of the 2,500 residential dwelling units, 1,900 unit were
allocated to the Transit-Oriented District. As shown in Table 1 above, the proposed
project’s 499-units is within the already contemplated residential development activity in
the Transit-Oriented District.
The proposed project meets the development standards established in the DDSP as
shown in Table 2 above.
The project is consistent with DDSP. Approval of the proposed 499 -unit residential
project would be within the development threshold of the 1,900 residential dwelling units
allocated for the Transit-Oriented District. In addition, the proposed project conforms
with the development regulations and design guidelines established in the specific plan
in which is located.
As provided in Government Code sec. 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA
Guidelines, when an EIR has been prepared for a project (DDSP EIR), no new
environmental document shall be prepared for the proposed project, unless the
Planning Commission makes one of the following determinations under Section
15162(a):
1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions
of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was
adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
b. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would
in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measures or alternative; or
c. Mitigation measures which are considerably different from those analyzed in
the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on
5.1
Packet Pg. 22

the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure.
The City conducted a review to determine if the proposed project met any of the
standards requiring the preparation of supplemental environmental review under CEQA.
Based on a review of the project, the environmental analysis in the DDSP EIR and all
the information in the Project record as a whole, the City has determined that there is no
substantial evidence that any of the standards are met. As part of this determination,
the City had an analysis of traffic and noise impacts prepared for the Project to ensure
that potential impacts in those areas did not present new or substantially more s evere
significant impacts than presented in the DDSP EIR.
Therefore, pursuant to Government Code sec. 65457 and CEQA Guidelines Section
15182, the project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is
required for this project.
Section 15168 – WITHIN SCOPE OF CERTIFIED DDSP PROGRAM EIR.
The DDSP was prepared as a Program EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 to
be used as the CEQA review for future implementing projects. Section 15168(a) defines
a “program EIR” as one prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as
one large project and are related geographically and by other shared characteristics.
Section 15168(c) states that subsequent activities in the program EIR must be
examined in the light of the program EIR to determin e whether an additional
environmental document must be prepared. If the agency finds that pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162(c)(2), no new effects could occur or no new mitigation
measures would be required, the agency can approve the activity as be ing within the
scope of the project covered by the program EIR and no new environmental document
would be required.
Operation Traffic Analysis
The City engaged the services of Kittelson & Associates to complete a project -level
analysis of the transportation effects. The analysis included trip generation, trip
distribution, traffic operation, site circulation and access. Using the same methodology
established in the DDSP DEIR which includes an analysis of both the Base FAR and
Maximum FAR, the project was found to be within the impacts analyzed and mitigated
in the DDSP EIR and no new or substantially more severe significant traffic impacts are
presented for the project.
As stated, the DDSP EIR assessed the transportation impacts of the DDSP by
identifying large areas for development. Since the EIR did not assign development
densities to individual parcels, general assumptions were required. Therefore, included
in the evaluation of the proposed project was the intersection of Golden Gate Drive and
St. Patrick Way. The study found that a traffic signal was not warranted by the project
alone; however, it did note that in the future (before 2040) with additional projects, the
signal will be required. This finding is consistent with the DDSP EIR Mitigation Measu re
3.9-1. This mitigation measure requires the City to collect impact fees from developers
in the Specific Plan Area for the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee as well as
the Western Dublin Traffic Impact Fee programs prior to issuance of Building P ermits.
This will fund local and regional transportation improvements. The signal at Golden
Gate Drive and St. Patrick Way has already been identified in the Western Dublin TIF
program and the payment of the required TIF fees addresses this previously iden tified
impact.
5.1
Packet Pg. 23
Page 16 of 17
Noise Impacts
The DEIR for the DDSP identified the impact pertaining to the increase of noise levels in
the area from mobile sources (vehicular traffic) at existing and future uses. To mitigate
this impact the City adopted Mitigation Measure 3.7-3. This mitigation measure requires
that future development within the DDSP project area located adjacent to Highway 580
prepare a site-specific acoustical analysis subject to review and approval by the City of
Dublin. The mitigation required that the acoustical analysis evaluate resultant noise
impacts in comparison to the City’s noise criteria for Land Use Compatibility for
Community Noise Environments. Feasible project specific mitigation measures are
required as part of the project design to reduce noise impacts at future noise sensitive
land uses, including but not limited to the following:
1) site design,
2) operational restrictions,
3) barriers,
4) setbacks, and
5) insulation.
An acoustical assessment dated March 2018, was prepared by Kimley Horn on behalf
of the applicant. The assessment evaluated future uses at the project site and potential
noise levels they would be exposed to. The assessment includes an evaluation of the
existing conditions and concluded that the primary noise source was traffic on I-580. As
required by Mitigation Measure 3.7-3, the assessment made project specific design
recommendations to address noise levels. The recommendations are as follows:
1) Sound wall. A 7-foot noise barrier is needed to ensure that ground-floor exterior
noise levels in Courtyard C (closest to I-580)
2) Upgraded windows. Units along the western, southern and eastern property line
require thicker glass windows (minimum Sound Transmission Class of 36)
3) Balcony treatments. The first row of units that façade the western, southern and
eastern site perimeter require incorporation of a noise attenuating balcony or patio
treatment (42” minimum height)
With implementation of the above recommendations, the interior noise levels at the
project would not exceed the 45dBA interior threshold required by the California
Building Code and the Dublin General Plan. They would also keep exterior noise levels
from exceeding 60 dBA which is identified as a “normally acceptable” level for
residential uses in the Dublin General Plan.
Based on the Project record as a whole, the proposed project is within the scope of the
project covered by the DDSP EIR and subsequent Addendum. The circumstances
under which the Project is to be undertaken have not substantially change d since the
DDSP EIR and subsequent Addendum were prepared and will not substantially change
with the approval of the Project. As supported by the operational traffic analysis and
noise study, the EIR adequately describes the impacts of the Project for the purposes of
CEQA, no mitigation measures or new alternatives are required by the Project other
than those previously disclosed and analyzed in the DDSP EIR and subsequent
Addendum. Approval of the project will not create any site‐specific operations giving
rise to environmental effects different from those examined by the EIR or requiring the
preparation of an Initial Study. The proposed project is subject to the DDSP Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program. Consequently, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
5.1
Packet Pg. 24
Page 17 of 17
Section 15182, the Project impacts are covered by the DDSP EIR and its Addendum
and no further environmental review is required for this project.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and
occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project to advertise the project and the
upcoming public hearing. A public notice also was published in the East Bay Times and
posted at several locations throughout the City. A Planning Application sign was posted
on the project site and the project was also included on the City’s development projects
webpage. A copy of this Staff Report has been provided to the Applicant.

The project is consistent with DDSP. Approval of the proposed 499 -unit residential
project would be within the development threshold of the 1,900 residential dwelling
units allocated for the Transit-Oriented District. In addition, the proposed project
conforms with the development regulations and design guidelines established in the
specific plan in which is located.
As provided in Government Code sec. 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA
Guidelines, when an EIR has been prepared for a project (DDSP EIR), no new
environmental document shall be prepared for the proposed project, unless the
Planning Commission makes one of the following determinations under Section
15162(a):
1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR
was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
b. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt
the mitigation measures or alternative; or
c. Mitigation measures which are considerably different from those analyzed
in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure.
The City conducted a review to determine if the proposed project met any of the
standards requiring the preparation of supplemental environmental review under
CEQA. Based on a review of the project, the environmental analysis in the DDSP EIR
and all the information in the Project record as a whole, the City has determined that
there is no substantial evidence that any of the standards are met. As part of this
determination, the City had an analysis of traffic and noise impacts prepared for the
Project to ensure that potential impacts in those areas did not present new or
substantially more severe significant impacts than presented in the DDSP EIR.
Therefore, pursuant to Government Code sec. 65457 and CEQA Guidelines Section
15182, the project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is
required for this project.

Section 15168 – WITHIN SCOPE OF CERTIFIED DDSP PROGRAM EIR.
The DDSP was prepared as a Program EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 to
be used as the CEQA review for future implementing projects. Section 15168(a)
defines a “program EIR” as one prepared on a series of actions that can be
characterized as one large project and are related geo graphically and by other shared
characteristics. Section 15168(c) states that subsequent activities in the program EIR
must be examined in the light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional
environmental document must be prepared. If the agenc y finds that pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162(c)(2), no new effects could occur or no new mitigation
measures would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the
scope of the project covered by the program EIR and no new environmental document
would be required.
Operation Traffic Analysis
The City engaged the services of Kittelson & Associates to complete a project -level
analysis of the transportation effects. The analysis included trip generation, trip
distribution, traffic operation, site circulation and access. Using the same methodology
established in the DDSP DEIR which includes an analysis of both the Base FAR and
Maximum FAR, the project was found to be within the impacts analyzed and mitigated

are presented for the project.
As stated, the DDSP EIR assessed the transportation impacts of the DDSP by

included in the evaluation of the proposed project was the intersection of Golden Gate
Drive and St. Patrick Way. The study found that a traffic signal was not warranted by
the project alone; however, it did note that in the future (before 2040) with additional
projects, the signal will be required. This finding is consistent with the DDSP EIR
Mitigation Measure 3.9-1. This mitigation measure requires the City to collect impact
fees from developers in the Specific Plan Area for the Tri-Valley Transportation
Development Fee as well as the Downtown TIF programs prior to issuance of Building
Permits. This will fund local and regional transportation improvements. The signal at
Golden Gate Drive and St. Patrick Way has already been identified in the Downtown
TIF program and the payment of the required TIF fees addresses this previously
identified impact.
Noise Impacts
The DEIR for the DDSP identified the impact pertaining to the increase of noise levels
in the area from mobile sources (vehicular traffic) at existing and future uses. To
mitigate this impact the City adopted Mitigation Measure 3.7 -3. This mitigation
measure requires that future development within the DDSP project area located
adjacent to Highway 580 prepare a site -specific acoustical analysis subject to review
and approval by the City of Dublin. The mitigation required that the acoustical analysis
evaluate resultant noise impacts in comparison to the City’s noise criteria for Land Use
Compatibility for Community Noise Environments. Feasible project specific mitigation
measures are required as part of the project design to reduce noise impacts at future
noise sensitive land uses, including but not limited to the following:
1) site design,
2) operational restrictions,

3) barriers,

5) insulation.
An acoustical assessment dated March 2018, was prepared by Kimley Horn on behalf
of the applicant. The assessment evaluated future uses at the project site a nd
potential noise levels they would be exposed to. The assessment includes an
evaluation of the existing conditions and concluded that the primary noise source was
traffic on I-580. As required by Mitigation Measure 3.7-3, the assessment made
project specific design recommendations to address noise levels. The
recommendations are as follows:
1) Sound wall. A 7-foot noise barrier is needed to ensure that ground -floor exterior
noise levels in Courtyard C (closest to I-580)
2) Upgraded windows. Units along the western, southern and eastern property line
require thicker glass windows (minimum Sound Transmission Class of 36)
3) Balcony treatments. The first row of units that façade the western, southern and
eastern site perimeter require incorporation of a noise attenuating balcony or
patio treatment (42” minimum height)
With implementation of the above recommendations, the interior noise levels at the
project would not exceed the 45dBA interior threshold required by the California
Building Code and the Dublin General Plan. They would also keep exterior noise
levels from exceeding 60 dBA which is identified as a “normally acceptable” level for
residential uses in the Dublin General Plan.
Based on the Project record as a whole, the proposed project is within the scop e of
the project covered by the DDSP EIR and subsequent Addendum. The circumstances
under which the Project is to be undertaken have not substantially changed since the
DDSP EIR and subsequent Addendum were prepared and will not substantially
change with the approval of the Project. As supported by the operational traffic
analysis and noise study, the EIR adequately describes the impacts of the Project for
the purposes of CEQA, no mitigation measures or new alternatives are required by the
Project other than those previously disclosed and analyzed in the DDSP EIR and
subsequent Addendum. Approval of the project will not create any site ‐specific
operations giving rise to environmental effects different from those examined by the
EIR or requiring the preparation of an Initial Study. The proposed project is subject to
the DDSP Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Consequently, pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15182, the Project impacts are covered by the DDSP EIR
and its Addendum and no further environmental review is required for this project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE City of Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding the Site Development
Review Permit:
A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 of the Zoning
Ordinance, with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plans and design
guidelines because: 1) The project is compatible with the architectural character and
scale of development in the immediate area in which the proposed project is to be
located; 2) the project is utilizing traditional building forms with contemporary, high -

D. The subdivision design and proposed improvements will not cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat because: 1) the proposed Vesting Tentative Map is for the redevelopment of
an already fully developed site with improvements and therefore already an urbanized
site will not result in environmental damage or substantially injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat or cause public health concerns; 2) in addition, the City conducted a review to
determine if the proposed project met any of the standards requiring the preparation of
supplemental environmental review under CEQA. Based on a review of the project
and the environmental analysis in the DDSP EIR, the City has determined that there is
no substantial evidence that any of the standards are met. Therefore, it has been
determined that the project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review
is required for this project.
E. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not cause serious public
health concerns because: 1) the design of the subdivision or type of improvements will
not cause serious public health concerns as it has been conditioned to comply with all
building codes and ordinances in effect at the ti me of permit issuance; 2) in addition,
the City conducted a review to determine if the proposed project met any of the
standards requiring the preparation of supplemental environmental review under
CEQA. Based on a review of the project and the environmen tal analysis in the DDSP
EIR, the City has determined that there is no substantial evidence that any of the
standards are met. As part of this determination, the City had an analysis of traffic and
noise impacts prepared for the Project to ensure that potential impacts in those areas
did not present new or substantially more severe significant impacts than presented in
the DDSP EIR. Therefore, it has been determined that the project is exempt from
CEQA and no further environmental review is required for this project.
F. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision; or alternate easements are provided pursuant to
Government Code Section 66474(g) because: 1) the City Engineer has reviewed the
Vesting Tentative Map and title report and has determined that the future proposed
buildings will not conflict with existing or new easements nor with future property line s.
G. The design or improvements of the tentative map are consistent with the city’s general
plan and any applicable specific plan because: 1) the proposed Vesting Tentative Map
10809 together with the provisions for its design and improvements complies w ith the
development standards of the DDSP and the Transit -Oriented District as well as the
overall vision of the DDSP to provide a vibrant mixed-use center which includes high-
density residential development.
H. The subdivision is designed to provide for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities because: 1) the proposed design and orientation of the building is
designed to limit the number of residential units from southern exposure ; 2) the limited
number of units which have southern exposure are located on a single-loaded corridor
limiting direct sun exposure; 3) the parking structure, which is an non-habitable space,
is specifically located to align with the southern exposure and designed with openings
to naturally vent; 4) awnings are included in the design of some of the window to
provide some protection; and 5) along the southern property line, a dense canopy of
evergreen trees are proposed to provide shade year round.
