DESCRIPTION:
Background
Grafton Plaza is a 12.23-acre mixed-use development located at the southeast corner
of Dublin Boulevard and Grafton Street (see Figure 1 below). The 3.68 -acre project site
is the last remaining development area within the larger Grafton Plaza project. The
project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mi xed Use 2/Campus Office
Page 2 of 9
and has Planned Development Zoning. The project site is relatively flat and
undeveloped.
In June 2010, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment and Planned
Development Zoning District with a Stage 1 Development Plan (Ord inance No. 10-10)
for the 12.23-acre Grafton Plaza project to allow a mixed-use development as Option 1
and a campus/office development as Option 2. The approved development plan allows
a range of commercial uses such as retail and tutoring/educational ser vices,
professional and administrative offices, hotel, entertainment, and eating and drinking
establishments. The property owner chose to proceed with development under Option 1
to create a mixed-use development.
The City Council held several Study Sessions to review the proposed master plan for
Grafton Plaza, and in April 2016, approved a Planned Development Zoning Stage 2
Development Plan (Ordinance No. 05-16) for the site. The Planned Development
Zoning serves as a master plan for a coordinated and integrated mixed-use
development with sites for a hotel, 115 townhomes, and a retail commercial center with
34,500-55,400 square feet of development. The Stage 2 Development Plan established
the overall site plan including vehicular access and circulation, general siting of the
buildings, on-site circulation, and an overarching priority to create a pedestrian -focused
development. The 127-room, 63,298-square-foot Aloft hotel is complete, and the 115-
unit Apex townhouse project is under construction.
The Applicant, Eddie Li, is proposing to construct the third and final phase of Grafton
Plaza, which is the retail commercial component. The proposed project implements the
master plan and includes three commercial buildings totaling 31,860 square feet,
including two retail buildings with 16,038 square feet and 6,055 square feet,
respectively, and a daycare building with 9,767 square feet and an integrated outdoor
play area.
The current request for the proposed project includes:
- Planned Development Zoning – Minor amendments to the Planned
Development Zoning Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans.
- Site Development Review Permit – Site Development Review Permit for three
commercial buildings and associated site improvements, including landscaping,
trash enclosures, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, plazas, and stormwater
capture.
- Minor Use Permit – Minor Use Permit to allow a reduction in parking of 16
parking stalls for shared parking.

ANALYSIS:
Planned Development Rezone
The application includes minor amendments to the approved Planned Development
(PD) Zoning Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans to amend the list of permitted
uses and to make minor modifications to the site plan.
The PD established permitted and conditionally permitted uses. This project proposes to
amend the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses (Attachment 1 – Exhibit A)
to add daycare as a permitted use consistent with other similar City zoning districts. The
use would be added with the requirement for a Zoning Clearance or Minor Use Permit
to evaluate compliance with the development standards for daycare facilities contained
in Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.82.
The PD established a site plan which among other things identifies the location of
buildings along Grafton Street and along the southern boundary of the commercial area.
The PD also established vehicular and pedestrian access points, paseos, common
gathering and open space plaza areas, and coordinated architectural elements . The
intent of the PD is to create an integrated mixed-use development (see Figure 2 below).

The proposed project includes minor adjustments to building siting and footprints .
Therefore, the application includes minor amendments to the PD to relocate the east-
west pedestrian pathway shown on the approved site plan. No changes are proposed to
the approved vehicular access. As proposed, this minor revision to the site plan would
be consistent with the development regulations in the Stage 2 Development Plan and
overall intent to maximize commercial opportunities in the area. Refer to the Site
Development Review Permit, below, for further analysis of the site plan.
Figure 2 – Existing and Proposed Site Plan
EXISTING STAGE 2 SITE PLAN PROPOSED AMENDMENT
An Ordinance approving amendments to the Planned Development Zoning Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Development Plans for Grafton Plaza is included as Attachment 1.
Site Development Review Permit
Site Plan
The proposed site plan would provide interconnected pedestrian and vehicular
circulation throughout the site and connections to adjacent developments. As previously
noted, minor adjustments to building siting and footprints are proposed requiring the
relocation of a pedestrian pathway that would traverse the site east to west to connect
Grafton Street and the residential component of the project. The pathway would be
relocated approximately 50 feet to the north and located on the north side of “Retail B”
and the day care building. Additional pedestrian connections would remain for the north
to south pathway from Dublin Boulevard to the Water Quality Basin. Vehicular access to
the proposed surface parking lot on the project site would be provided from the
driveway off Summit Road consistent with the Site Plan approved for Grafton Plaza.
Summit Road is accessed from Dublin Boulevard and is designed to serve this project
and the Apex residential development. Circulation for all parcels within the overall
Grafton Plaza mixed-use project is interconnected including along Grafton Street,
allowing both pedestrians and vehicles to navigate through the entire property. Refer to
Figure 3.
Page 5 of 9
The site has frontages on both Dublin Boulevard and Grafton Street. However, it is the
intention of the Planned Development for buildings to be oriented along Grafton Street,
adding to the ‘Main Street’ feel and contributing to the existing commercial operators on
the west side of the street. Both retail buildings would be orientated toward Grafton
Street and the daycare building would be located centrally on the project site without
street facing frontage.
Integration among the three projects that comprise the Grafton Plaza Planned
Development (i.e., the Aloft Hotel, Apex residential townhouses, and proposed retail
and daycare buildings) includes: 1) a motor court plaza with enhanced pavement
centrally located on-site; 2) a linear ’Plaza’ element between the commercial and hotel
uses that extends across Grafton Street to Summit Road; and 3) a pase o element
between the hotel and residential uses. The paseo would provide a link to the trail
accessing the Water Quality Basin to the south (visual open space).
Architecture
The proposed buildings are designed to conform to the Grafton Plaza Architectura l
Guidelines and would be compatible with the Apex residential townhouse and Aloft
Hotel projects. The overall form of the two buildings fronting Grafton Street are reflective
of the ‘Main Street’ appearance of the existing buildings with the centrally loc ated
daycare building promoting a more modern design while retaining the high design
quality, theme colors, and materials of the surroundings. The retail and daycare
buildings are generally single-story with architectural features providing vertical
Figure 3: Site Plan
Page 6 of 9
articulation, varying roof forms, heights, articulated corner elements, and changes in
roof forms. The majority of buildings in the project would be single -story, 35 feet high,
with taller architectural features at approximately 50 feet, which would be below the
height limit evaluated for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis of 55
feet. The varying forms and mass of the buildings generate interest throughout the
project. The prominent colors of the buildings are natural earth tones with brick
accenting throughout, along with clear glazing and projecting canopies. The daycare
building is designed with graphic inserts to provide a visual queue to the educational
use of the building. Figure 4 shows proposed illustrative architectural elevations.
Figure 4: Architectural Elevations
Retail uses are proposed to front Grafton Street, with public access for future
businesses. Exterior materials include textured stucco finish, brick, and metal accents.
Horizontal and vertical variation through canopies, alternating parapet heights and roof
feature elements. Pedestrian entries to the commercial areas are defined with
prominent glass entryways and pronounced entrances. Decorative features and
materials are also added to provide interest to the building .
Landscape
The preliminary landscape plan includes a conceptual plant pallet with a variety of trees,
including 24-inch and 36-inch box trees along the perimeter of the site, within parking
islands and in front of commercial facades. The interior of t he site would be accented
with a mix of one-gallon to five-gallon shrubs. New landscape areas are proposed with a
variety of drought tolerant plants suitable for low maintenance and water conserving
efforts. The pedestrian connections running to the east -west and north-south would be
lined with landscaping to enhance the pedestrian experience. On the north -south
connection to the Water Quality Basin, a bioretention area is proposed to be introduced.
In order to retain the amenity value of this space, the landscaping would be enhanced to
provide a planting plan, walkway, and amenity features such as benches, as provided
on Sheets L1.1-L3.2 of the Project Plans (Attachment 3 – Exhibit A to Attachment 2).

Public Art Compliance
The applicant intends to satisfy the City’s public art requirement through the payment of
in-lieu fees secured by a condition of approval.
Minor Use Permit
Parking requirements for the proposed development are regulated by the Zoning
Ordinance (Section 8.76.080.D). The parking requirem ents for the project are the sum
of the different uses. The following table illustrates the number of parking stalls that are
required for the use.

In order to allow the proposed use with les s than the required number of parking spaces
on-site, the Applicant is requesting a parking reduction. DMC Section 8.76.050 (Parking
Reductions for Shared Parking) provides that when shared off -street parking is
proposed between two or more adjacent use types, a reduction in off-street parking
requirements (from the sum of the parking required by each use type) may be granted
with a Minor Use Permit if each of the following standards are met:
1) The Minor Use Permit findings can be made;
2) A sufficient number of spaces are provided to meet the greatest parking
demands of the participating use types and to ensure that there will not be
a parking deficiency;
3) Satisfactory evidence is provided that the use types, by their natures and
operating times, will not conflict with each other;
4) Overflow parking will not adversely affect any adjacent use; and
5) Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements
as may be deemed necessary by the Community Development Director
are executed to assure that the requirement parking spaces provided are
maintained and that uses with similar hours and parking requirements as
those uses sharing the parking facilities remain for the life of the
documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements.

A Shared Parking Analysis was prepared by Fehr and Peers, dated May 2019
(Attachment 4 – Exhibit B to Attachment 2), and reviewed by the City’s Transportation
and Operations Manager. The Study concludes that Transportation Demand
Management measures can be incorporated to ensure adequate parking is provided for
the greatest parking demands at the site. Recommended measures to support the
parking reduction are included as Conditions of Approval. These include a requirement
that 17 off-site parking spaces along Zenith Avenue and Summit Road be designated
for employees (Monday to Friday 7.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.), six spaces within the parking
lot be designated loading zones with a 10 -minute stopping restriction (Monday to Friday
7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and the remaining stalls (119 spaces) be open to visitor parking.
Adjacent sites would not be affected; however, measures are included to accommodate
reciprocal agreements with neighboring sites, should off -site parking be required. The
recommendations of the Shared Parking Analysis have been accepted by the Applicant,
including the Conditions of Approval.
A Resolution approving the Site Development Review Permit and Minor Use Permit is
included as Attachment 2.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLANS, AND ZONING
ORDINANCE:
The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Mixed
Use/Campus Office which allows a range of commercial uses including regional- and
community-serving retail uses, professional and administrative offices, hotel,
entertainment, and eating and drinking establishments. The General Plan encourages
projects to relate well to the surrounding developments, and the proposed project is
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that includes commercial a nd residential
uses. The proposed project is consistent with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because
the Plan states that regionally-oriented commercial uses should be located south of
Dublin Boulevard and near freeway interchanges where convenient vehicu lar access
will limit traffic impacts to the rest of Dublin and the commercial center is intended to
serve the community as well as the region.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Dep artment, and Dublin
San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided Conditions of Approval
where appropriate to ensure that the Project is established in compliance with all local
Ordinances and Regulations. Conditions of Approval from these departments and
agencies have been included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with the requirements of the CEQA, two Initial Studies/Mitigated Negative
Declarations (MNDs) were previously prepared and adopted to address environmental
concerns associated with development of Grafton Plaza. Based on a review of the
project, no further environmental document is needed because the environmental
impacts of this project were fully addressed in the previous MNDs. There is no
Page 9 of 9
substantial evidence in the record that any new effects would occur to trigger
supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning Commission considered this project at their meeting on D ecember 10,
2019, and by a vote of four to one recommended that the City Council deny the project.
No members of the community addressed the Commission. The Planning Commission
expressed concern regarding: 1) on-site circulation, including how drop-off/pick-up of
children associated with the proposed daycare facility would function and the previously
established point of access to the site from Dublin Boulevard via Summit Road; 2) traffic
from the project particularly in the morning when parents are droppin g off children at the
daycare facility, combined with residential traffic from Apex; and 3) the previously
approved building locations which lack a building along Dublin Boulevard, and the
orientation of buildings with access from the parking area and turning their backs on
Grafton Street. The Planning Commission Resolutions recommending denial of the
project are included in Attachment 5.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and
occupants within 300 feet of the project site. A public notice also was published in the
East Bay Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. A Planning
Application sign was posted on the project site and the project was also included on the
City’s development projects webpage. A copy of this Staff Report has been provided to
the Applicant.

The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Applicant, Eddy Li, is proposing to construct three commercial buildings totaling
31,860 square feet on a 3.68-acre site within a portion of the 12.23-acre Grafton Plaza site. The
proposed development and applications are collectively known as the “Project.”
B. The project site is located south of Dublin Boulevard between Summit Road and Grafton
Street within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, and more specifically within the Grafton
Plaza Planned Development.
C. On May 18, 2010, the City Council approved a Planned Development Rezone with
related Stage 1 Development Plan for Grafton Plaza which included the subject site (Ordinance
No. 10-10). On April 19, 2016, the City Council approved the Stage 2 Development Plan
(Ordinance No. 05-16). The subject site was identified in the approved Ordinance as
Commercial.
D. On May 18, 2010, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) by
City Council Resolution No. 75-10 in connection with approval of the Grafton Plaza Planned
Development Rezone and related Stage 1 Development Plan.
E. In compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project was
examined to determine if another environmental document should be p repared. The analysis
concluded that the environmental impacts of the Project were analyzed in the previous MND.
There is no substantial evidence in the record that any new effect s would occur, that any new
mitigation measures would be required, or that an y of the conditions triggering supplemental
environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 exists.
F. Following a properly noticed public hearing on December 10, 2019, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution 19-13, recommending denial of the Planned Development
Rezone and related amendments to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development
Plans, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall
during normal business hours.
G. A Staff Report dated January 14, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference, described
and analyzed the Project, including the Planned Development Rezone and related amendments
to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, for the City Council.
2
H. On January 14, 2020, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the
project, including the proposed Planned Development Rezone and related amendments to the
previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, at which time all interested
parties had the opportunity to be heard.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Project PD-Planned Development 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 PD-Planned Development zoning will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area
in that the site will provide new commercial uses in an area that has similar uses nearby
and is also adjacent to existing and future workplaces and residential neighborhoods
promoting pedestrian and circulation linkages from surrounding uses.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds
as follows.
1. The PD-Planned Development zoning for the Project will be harmonious and
compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that:
- The Project is planned as an integrated portion of a mixed-use community with
distinct but coordinated commercial, hotel and residential uses, and with
development standards tailored to the specific needs of each use while maintaining
the common areas and interconnections that unite the project elements.
- Unifying landscape and architectural treatments and elements link the commercial,
hotel and residential uses.
- The Project provides interconnected pedestrian and vehicular circulation,
interspersed with public plaza’s and open spaces. This layout, in addition to the
designated land uses and design guidelines, provide places to shop, stroll, and meet
family and friends in a vibrant, comfortable, and contemporary setting.
- Truck traffic patterns are designed to avoid any future residential area(s) and the
conventional retail/commercial streetscape along the Grafton Street extension while
still serving the needs of the retail tenants.
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 and served by existing
public utilities. The project site conditions were documented in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) that was previously adopted, and the environmental impacts that have
been identified will be mitigated to the greatest degree possible. There are no site
challenges that were identified in the MND that will present an impediment to utilization of
the site for the intended purposes. There are no major physical or topographic constraints
3
and, thus, the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the commercial uses
approved through the PD zoning.
3. The PD-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.
4. The PD-Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the
Dublin General Plan, in that the proposed commercial center is consistent with the Mixed
Use/Campus Office land use designation for the site.
C. On May 18, 2010, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) by City
Council Resolution No. 75-10 in connection with approval of the Grafton Plaza Planned
Development Rezone and related Stage 1 Development Plan. Pursuant to CEQA, the Project
was examined to determine if any further environmental review is required.
