SUBJECT: Minor Amendment to Planned Development(PD)Zoning
District PA 03-058(Ordinance 02-05)(Eclipse at Dublin Station)
Background
On December 3, 2002, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 21-02 to rezone the
approximately 91-acre area known as the Dublin Transit Center to a Planned
Development (PD) Zoning District and adopted a Stage 1 Development Plan for the
area. On January 18, 2005, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 02-05 which
approved a Stage 2 Development Plan for a portion of the Dublin Transit Center
known as Site B-2 (PA 03-058).
Site B-2, known as Eclipse at Dublin Station (formerly referred to as Avalon Bay) is a
mixed-use development located at 5300 Iron Horse Pkwy.The site was designed as a
5-story 305 unit residential building wrapped around a 6-level parking structure with
the potential for up to 15,389 square feet of ancillary, neighborhood-serving
commercial uses at the ground level along Iron Horse Parkway and Village Green.
Eclipse at Dublin Station finished construction in 2007. Ultimately, 13,340 square
City Council feet of commercial space was built along Iron Horse Parkway and Campbell Green.

Community Development attract businesses since completion of construction and sat mostly vacant up until

2015 when three businesses took occupancy of three of the six vacant suites.Economic Development

Finance/IT In December 2016, a Minor Amendment to PD Ordinance 02-05 was approved by the
925.833.6640 Community Development Director to allow approximately 3,556 square feet of the
Fire Prevention ground level retail space along Iron Horse Pkwy to be converted to amenity space to

Police On January 23, 2018, the applicant, Thirsty Bay, LLC. submitted an application to
925.833.6670 operate a restaurant that serves alcohol in Suite B. The PD Ordinance 02-05
Public Works establishes a range of development standards; however, it does not provide Hours of925.833.6630
Operation standards for the ground-floor commercial uses. The absence of these
standards creates a potential conflict between the commercial uses and the
100 Civic Plaza

Suite B is a 2,000 square fospace on the corner of Iron Horse Park and Campbell Green. The restaurant
will provide seating in an inside dining area as well as two outdoor seating areas located on Iron Horse Parkway
and Campbell Green. The outdoor seating areas is required to be fenced in accordance with ABC licensing
requirements, and a Site Development Review Waiver is required for the design of the fence and for the
furnishings of the seating area.
A restaurant with outdoor seating is a permitted use in PD Ordinance 02-05; however, the proposed restaurant
is unique in that it will have outdoor seating and will predominantly operate during evening hours. In order to
address the potential conflict between the outdoor seating operating within evening hours, and the residents of
the community, the PD Zoning District is being amended to establish Hours of Operation for Outdoor Seating
under Section 2. Permitted Uses.
Minor Amendment to a Planned Development(PD)Zoning District
A minor amendment to an adopted PD may be approved administratively by the Community Development
Director upon a finding that the amendment substantially complies with and does not materially change the
provisions or intent of the adopted PD Zoning District Ordinance for the site(DMC 8.32.080).
Approval
The Community Development Director finds that the proposed Minor Amendment to PD Zoning District
Ordinance 02-05 is in substantial compliance with, and does not materially change the provisions or intent of PD
Zoning District Ordinance 02-05. The Director hereby approves a Minor Amendment to PD Zoning District
Ordinance 02-05 with the following footnote added to Section 2. Permitted Uses:
