SCS Property Community Outreach Overview
The community outreach approach includes utilizing an Urban Land Institute Technical
Advisory Panel (ULI TAP) to create a foundation for future discussion and a consultant
team to assist in engaging the community. Details on these two efforts is provided below.
Urban Land Institute Technical Advisory Panel
The ULI TAP program provides expert, multidisciplinary advice to local governments on
complex land use issues ranging from site-specific projects to public policy questions. It is
envisioned that the ULI TAP will provide input and recommendations on land uses that
optimize the synergy between land use, economic development, and community
compatibility for the SCS Property. The ULI TAP is scheduled for June 24-29.
Consultant Team
The selected consultant team lead by ELS Architecture & Urban Design will build off the ULI
TAP work product as part of its planning and outreach program. The consultant team is
composed of:
ELS Architecture & Urban Design – Project management and urban design
Urban Field Studio – Community engagement
Retail Real Estate Resources - Commercial real estate strategy
Bernese Lane Partners - Residential development
Keyser Marston Associates - Financial feasibility
Kimley-Horn – Traffic and related opportunities and constraints
The consultant team will work with the community, property owner, City Staff and other
stakeholders to identify viable land uses and development options for the property. The
work will be driven by the following guiding principles and consider feedback from the
community, Staff, Planning Commission and City Council, financial and economic feasibility,
and goals of the property owner:
1. The goal of the outreach process is to gain consensus on preferred land use
and future development of the property.
2. The outreach process will include a variety of interested parties including
the property owner, adjacent property owners (i.e., Grafton, Lowe’s),
adjacent homeowner’s associations and the Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
3. The preferred plan will create the framework for a mixed-use private
project including limited public amenities.
4. The preferred plan will establish minimum residential densities.
5. The preferred plan will meet the goals of the property owner to create a
financially and economically feasible project in the current market and
long-term sustainability for the City.

Community Outreach Activities
In coordination with the consultant team, the following community outreach activities will
take place over the course of the coming year:
Task A: Background Research – The consultant team will identify physical,
political, and financial opportunities and constraints, working with key
stakeholders, and will begin building a relationship with the community through a
Community Advisory Committee (CAC). As part of this task, the consultant team will
review relevant planning documents and site history, conduct urban design site
analysis, evaluate geographic infrastructure constraints and opportunities, and
complete a market analysis.
Task B: Public Facing Engagement – The consultant team will create a website
and survey to begin to build a relationship with the broader community and explore
development of the site. This task will establish project goals, explore a potential
range of development, and provide insight into the City’s Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA) obligations.
Task C: Land Use Framework – The consultant team will develop and share three
broad planning concepts, which will consist of different approaches to land planning
for the property and the general organization of parcels, streets, and public spaces.
As part of this task, the consultant team will explore other development case
studies, and prepare an economic viability memo and an educational video. The
“Consensus Through Education” video will be used to summarize the process and
provide an overview of Tasks A-C and create a foundation for the preferred plan
(Task D).
Task D: Preferred Plan – The consultant team will focus on presenting and
receiving input on the preferred plan. Presentation of the preferred plan will include
a summary of findings from community outreach, feedback on the initial three land
plans, and an architectural workshop. The economic viability memo will also be
updated to reflect the preferred plan and input received.
Task E: General Plan Amendment Study Recommendation – The consultant
team will prepare a recommendation memo to support a General Plan Amendment,
if needed.
Based on feedback received, the consultant team will prepare a site master plan. The plan
will be developed with the following details:
Land use plan including the organization of parcels, streets, and public spaces.
Architectural prototypes for development capacities, including residential and
commercial uses.
Overall building massing, including scale of buildings, public streets, parks, and
plazas; four focused renderings will convey character.
Connectivity within the site and to the surrounding neighborhood context.
