SECTION 2: FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The Transit Center Site A-3 Project 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 project under the Planned Development zoning and the related Stage 2
Development Plan will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in
the surrounding area in that the site will provide residential development consistent with the
surrounding development. The proposed project maintains the urban character anticipated by
the existing approvals for the Transit Center including the existing Planned Development
Zoning and Stage 1 Development Plan. The proposed project will contribute to housing
opportunities and diversity of product type as a complement to the surrounding neighborhoods.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows.
1. The Planned Development zoning for the project and the related Stage 2 Development Plan
will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding
area in that the proposed site plan has taken into account a land use type and density that is
compatible with the adjacent areas and densities. In addition, the massing of the proposed
building is consistent with the scale of the adjacent buildings with the tallest masses located at
the east side opposite the adjacent buildings along DeMarcus Boulevard (Elan and Avalon),
and the lowest masses located on the west side opposite the lower townhouses across
Campbell Lane (Tribeca).
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 streets on four sides and served by
existing public utilities. The project site conditions are documented in the CEQA Analysis for
this project and prior certified Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), and the project will
implement all adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. There are no site conditions that
were identified in the CEQA Analysis that will present an impediment to development of the
site for the proposed residential development. There are no major physical or topographic
constraints and thus the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the residential
development approved through the Planned Development zoning.
3. The 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 Planned Development zoning is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan, in that the proposed residential density and uses are consistent with the
High Density Residential land use designation for the site.
Ord No. 03-18, Adopted 7/17/2018, Item No. 6.1 Page 2 of 7
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council finds as follows:

for residential projects that are consistent with a Specific Plan. The project is within the scope
of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Dublin Transit Center General Plan
Amendment, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment, Stage 1 Planned Development
Zoning, Tentative Parcel Map, and Development Agreement (SCH 2O01120395) which was
by the City Council Resolution No. 215-02 dated November 19, 2002. The CEQA
