FINDINGS AND DEu:RMINATlONS
Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 ofthe Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
L The Project, known as Dublin Transit Center Site B-1 (D. R. Horton, Tnc.), Planned
Development Zoning meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a
comprehensive development plan that is tailored to the high density residential land uses
proposed on the Project site and creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to
surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design which is in close proximity to
mass transit.
2. Development of Dublin Transit Center Site B-1 (D. R. Horton, Tnc.) under the Planned
Development Zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future
development in the surrounding area in that the land uses and site plan establish a high
density residential project with on-site amenities and affordable units in compliance with
Master Development Agreement adopted by Ordinance 5-03 in May 2003. The land uses
and site plan provide effective transitions to surrounding development which is
characterized by the proposed vehicular and pedestrian circulation system.
Pursuant to Section 8J20.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Stage 2 Development Plan for Dublin Transit Center B-1 (D. R. Horton, Tnc.) will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding
area in that the land uses and site plan establish a high density residential project with on-
site amenities and affordable units in compliance with Master Development Agreement
adopted by Ordinance 5-03 in May 2003. The land uses and site plan provide effective
transitions to surrounding development which is characterized by the proposed vehicular

2. The Stage 2 Development Plan for Dublin Transit Center Site B-1 (D. R. Horton, Inc.)
Planned Development Zoning has been designed to accommodate the topography of the
Project site which typically is characterized as vacant, flat land suitable for the
development of a residential project and therefore physically suitable for the type and
intensity of the proposed Planned Development Zoning district.
3. The Stage 2 Development Plan wìll 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

Specific Plan, and the Transit Center Stage 1 Development Plan (Ordinance No. 21-02) as

various requirements of the Stage 1 Development Plan.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council finds as follows:

General Plan Amendment, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment, Stage 1 Planned
Development Zoning, Tentative Parcel Map, and Development Agreement (SCH
2001120395) which was certified by City Council Resolution No. 215-02 dated November

Report. The minimum number of parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with Section 8
above.
10. Site Plan and Architectnre
This Development Plan applies to approximately ±3.13 net acres on the southeast comer of Dublin
Boulevard and DeMarcus Boulevard. The project is comprised oftwo structures:
Townhouses: A row of townhouses faces the Village Green. Access is provided by an east-west
driveway along the rear of the townhouses which connects DeMarcus Boulevard to the north-
south private access driveway on the adjacent property to east. Parking spaces for the townhouses
are provided at ground-level and tucked under (covered) in enclosed garages along the rear of the
buDding.
Stacked and WaIk-uD Condominiums: The larger (main) structure of condominium units occupies
the most of the site. This building has frontage along both DeMarcus Boulevard and Dublin
Boulevard. Parking is provided at the ground level and in one subterranean level below a podium.
Access to the structured parking also is located from the cast-west driveway between the two
structures. The units and common areas wrap the parking structure exterior so as to prevent the
garage from becoming a focal element. Pedestrian access to the building is located on three of the
four building sides. Access to residents also is available at the podium level. No pedestrian
access is available from the Dublin Boulevard elevation.
The architecture of the two structures is Mediterranean-inspired with ample exterior articulation and
color palette to minimize visual mass and scale. The design is intended to create an image consistent
with an urban lifestyle and encourage pedestrian circulation. A two-story entry portal located on both
the cast and west facades of the buDding adds to the urban streetscape and creates a visual link with
those buildings on surrounding and adjacent properties.
In focusing on the pedestrian scale, attention was paid to the base on the buildings. A stone veneer
around the base of each building provides enhanced materials and a strong visual element at the
pedestrian level. Residential stoops are located along the east and west facades. Each stoop entry is 2
to 3 feet above the street level and ties directly to the sidewalk. These features are further enhanced
with ornamental railings, seating and decorative light fixtures. In addition, building lobbies and
recreation rooms arc located on the ground floor. A large interior (podium level) courtyard is
4
integrated into the project with patterned walkways, landscaping, and open space. However,
pedestrian connections to Dublin Boulevard are minimized and discouraged with a 3-foot high wall
and landscaped berm acting as a buffer to the busy street.
See attached plans and building elevations prepared by Togawa & Smith, Inc., dated received July 2,
2004, the colors and materials board received on July 2, 2004, and Landscape Plans prepared by The
Guzzardo Partnership Inc., dated 16 August 2004, and labeled Exhibit A to the October 26, 2004
Planning Commission Staff Report. Any modifications to the project shall be substantially consistent
with these plans and of equal or superior materials and design quality.
