Background
On December 3, 2002, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 21-02 to rezone an
approximately 91-acre area known as the Dublin Transit Center to a Planned
Development Zoning District (PA 00-013). Ordinance No. 21-02 also adopted a
Stage 1 Development Plan for the Transit Center. Subsequently, 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). The adopted Stage 2 Development Plan established, among other things,
the development regulations for Site B-2, including lot dimensions and setbacks.
The tentative map that created Site B-2 was approved by the Planning Commission
on November 9, 2004 (Resolution No.04-065).
Ordinance 02-05 includes development regulations for Site B-2 that were intended
to be taken directly from the attached Stage 2 booklet that accompanied the
Ordinance; however, the apartment community that was constructed on Site B-2
City Council was recently sold and it was discovered that there are inconsistencies between the
(925)833-6650
City Manager development regulations in the Ordinance and the Stage 2 booklet. These
(925)833-6650 inconsistencies relate to the lot width and depth, and the setbacks along Dublin
Community Development
(925)833-6610 Boulevard.
Economic Development
(925)833-6650 The development regulations within Ordinance No. 02-05 specify a lot width of 157
Finance/Admin Services min
(925)833-6640 feet and a lot depth of 499 feet, while the Stage 2 booklet (Pg. 10) specifies a
Fire Prevention
(925)833-6606 Building Depth of 532 feet and a Building Width of 314 feet. Furthermore, the
Human Resources
(925)833-6605 Ordinance specifies a varying setback of 15-40 feet along Dublin Boulevard, while
Parks&Community Services the Stage 2 booklet specifies a varying setback of 10-40 feet (Pg 10). The building
(925)556-4500
Police has been constructed and complies with the regulations in the Stage 2 booklet.
(925)833-6670
Accordingly, Staff seeks to amend the Planned Development zoning to alleviate the
Public lic Works/Engineering
(925)833-6630 inconsistencies between Ordinance 02-05 and the Stage 2 booklet.
Minor Amendment to a Planned Development(PD)Zoning District
Dublin A minor amendment to an adopted Development Plan may be approved
bletel administratively by the Community Development Director upon a finding that the
111 I amendment substantially complies with and does not materially change the
provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance
2011 for the site (DMC 8.32.080).

Approval
The development regulations contained in Ordinance No. 02-05 were taken directly from the Stage 2
booklet, and therefore the two documents were intended to be consistent. Furthermore, the
apartment community constructed on Site B-2 was built in accordance with the plans in the approved
Stage 2 booklet. The Site B-2 parcel was created prior to adoption of the development regulations and
addressed the lot size.
The Community Development Director hereby approves a minor amendment to Ordinance No. 02-05,
which approved the Stage 2 Development Plan for Dublin Transit Center Site B-2 (PA 03-058). In order
to make the development regulations in Ordinance No. 02-05 consistent with the Stage 2 booklet, this
minor amendment hereby changes the development regulations in Ordinance No. 02-05 to replace the
Lot Dimensions with Building Dimensions (width and depth), and corrects the varying setback distance
along Dublin Boulevard. The amended development regulations in Ordinance No. 02-05 shall hereby be
stated as follows:
Building Dimensions:
Building Width: 314 feet along Dublin Boulevard
Building Depth: 532 feet along Iron Horse Parkway
Setbacks:
10-40 feet (varies) along Dublin Boulevard
