Jordan Ranch is comprised of two properties totaling approximately 189.4 gross acres located within the west/central portion of the 1,134 acre area approved as the Fallon Village Project area. It is bounded to the north by Positano Parkway and to the west by Fallon Road. The southerly boundary of Jordan Ranch generally is located along Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkway. The Jordan Ranch properties were part of an earlier annexation known as the Eastern Dublin Property Owners (EDPO) annexation area and were annexed to the City in 2002. On June 22, 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 13-10 to rezone an approximately 189-acre area known as Jordan Ranch to a Planned Development Zoning District and adopted a Stage 2 Development Plan for the area. The Jordan City Council 925.833.6650 Ranch project included the development of up to 780 residential units within 6 City Manager neighborhoods. On June 19, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 9-12, 925,833.6650 which approved a Planned Development Rezone with related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Community Development Development Plan amendments for Jordan Ranch Phase 2 specific to four subareas. 925.833,6610 Economic Development On October 20, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 9-15, which amended 925.833.6650 the Jordan Ranch project.

The reduction is only allowed at side elevations with a front door that faces a street or paseo; • Increase in height from 35 feet to 40 feet; and • Increase in lot coverage for Lot 17 only from 55% to 56%. Tri-Point is unable to swap out the Plan 2 currently proposed for Lot 17 (with 55.5% lot coverage) for a smaller plan for the following reasons: • The Quartz product is set up in a duet format, with two building types: Building Type 1 which contains a Plan 1 (2,029 SF) and a Plan 2 (2,059 SF) and Building Type 2 which contains a Plan 2 (2,059 SF) and a Plan 3 (2,215 SF). • Currently the Plan 1 is proposed on Lot 16 and the Plan 2 is proposed on Lot 17. • Lot 16 and Lot 17 are the same size. • To reduce the lot coverage on Lot 17 to below 55%, the Plan 1 could be sited instead of the Plan 2, which would result in the lot coverage being less than 55%; however, the Plan 2 would shift to lot 16 resulting in the lot coverage of exceeding 55% for lot 16. The proposed modifications to the side yard setbacks and building height are consistent with the other neighborhoods in Jordan Ranch.
