Aznning Commission Ward 13,2018 Rgular Meeting 'Page 12 Jeff Baker, Assistant Community Development Director, answered questions posed by the Commission. Commission Chair Bhuthimethee stated that she could not make findings in the affirmative. She made a motion to deny the project based on the following findings, and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Mittan. A. The design of the project is not appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties, and the lot in which the project is proposed because the size and mass of the project building is not consistent with the development in the surrounding area and the vision of the Transit-Oriented District. In particular, the depth of the building is not consistent with the scale of surrounding development and the pedestrian oriented vision of the Specific Plan. B. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is not harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments in the vicinity because the size and scale of the proposed building is of a larger scale than other existing developments in the area. C. The site has not been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist, pedestrians, and automobiles because of the lack of and east-west pedestrian connection in-line with South Street that would provide convenient pedestrian access to and from the BART station and the west of the site. Denied due to the following findings and determinations regarding the Vesting Tentative Map 10809: A. The proposed subdivision map together with the provisions for its design and improvement is not consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan because the proposed wholly residential development does not contribute to the overall vision of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan to provide a vibrant mixed-use center. B. The subdivision site is not physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development because the size and mass of the project is too large for the subject parcel.
