ITEM NO.
scheduled for a second reading at the July 17, 2001 City Council meeting. As required by the Dublin
Municipal Code, a second reading is necessary prior to final adoption of the rezoning ordinance, which
will classify the site as a Planned Development (PD) District, with a Development Plan establishing
regulations for the use, development, improvements and maintenance of the property. The proposed PD
would be consistent with the Village Parkway Specific Plan and the General Plan land use designations
and policies for this site.
At a public hearing held on July 3,2001, the City Council requested Staff to investigate the possibility of
replacing the parkway strip adjacent to the sidewalk to accommodate a larger sidewalk along the frontage
of the site. After working with the applicant, Staff recommends that two feet of sidewalk be added to the
existing sidewalk, making a 6-foot sidewalk, along the southern frontage of the site. The additional
sidewalk width would come from .the parking lot so that the existing park strip could still be maintained
with landscaping and trees.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council open the Public Hearing, deliberate and Waive reading and adopt the
Ordinance Attachment 1 amending the Dublin Zoning Ordinance to a Planned Development (PD)
Rezone/Development Plan (with Development Plan attached as Exhibit A).

other existing Zoning District. Additionally, the Planned Development will create an environment that is
sensitive to environmental features by virtue of the site layout and building architecture. The proposed
Development Plan is also consistent with the General Plan land use category of Retail/Office.

near all necessary public facilities.

harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area.
4. The Proposed Amendment will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the. public health, safety or welfare because the
Development Plan has been designed in accord with the Dublin General Plan.

potential development in the surrounding area because design elements and conditions of approval of Site
Development Review insure that impacts to surrounding existing and potential development are
