PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
JofcZ/
Background:
The proposed prOJect is described III the City of Dllblin Gencral Plan and IS known as Schaefer Ranch, it
is located wlthm a porhon of the Western Extended Planning Area of the City The project area ineludes
approximately 500 acres located at the westerly boundary of the cIty hmlts north of the Interstate 580
freeway (T-5RO), south ofumneorporated area of Alanleda County, and east ofSehaefer Ranch Road. The
westerly extension ofDllblin Boulevard leads into the proJect are,l where Dublin Boulevard tenlllnates.
The proJect area was annexed to the City of Dublin in 1996 at the request of the property owner At that
time, the area was prczoned as Planned Development Dlstriet Overlay zone (PA 94-028) by City Couneil
Ordinanee No 15-90 and Resolution 78-96, The original approval included a General Plan Amendment
whleh antl\;lpated 474 single family homes, a small amount of commercial space, semi-public uses, open
Hpaee, and inJrastrueture. At that time, the pre-zone duJ not mclude Architeetural Design GUIdelines.
The City's current procedure involves the adoption of Developmcnt Standards and Architectural Design
Standards/Guidelines as part of the City Council Ordinanel: which adopts the Planned Development
zoning. ThIS pTocedure mcludes a two-stage Dcvelopment Plan approvaL According to the Zoning
Ordinanec, a Sta.ge J Development Plan ineludes Development Standards related to the zoning ordinance,
but are specific to the Planned Development District under COllS1deration. Typieally, a Stage I
Development Plan also ineludes Arehiteetural Design GUldehmlS which may be adopted as Arclntectuml
Dcsign Standards at either the Stage 1 or Stage 2 Development Plan proecss.
In 1996, when Schaefer Ranch was presented lor approval of prezomng and annexation, the two-stage
Development Plan procedure for Planned Development (PO) had not been established, As the resldenl1al
uses proposed for the area were for smgle-family detached homes, it was antICipated that R-I zoning
standards of the Zonmg Ordmallce would be applicable. Consequently, only the uses and not the
developnleut standards were adopted and approved with tile Imhal/original Planned Development zomng.
Development standards for Schaefer Ranch were subsequently adoptcd on August 11, 19q9 by Planning
Commission (Resolution 98-38). For the resldenhal uses, these standards lllcluded. average and
minimum lot size; minimum street frontage; median lot width, front, side, and rear yard setbacks;
minimum distance hetween buildings; maximum building height; and usahle rear yard area, Coneurrentlv
and eonsistcnt with these standards, A Vesting Tental1ve Tract Map 6765 for 446 units of detached slllgle
family homes waS approved. A Development Agreement reflectmg Ihe prior approvals was approved
Dccember I, 1998 (Ordinanee No. 20-98) and 1S scheduled to expire on December 31,2006
In 2004, the ApplieanVDeveloper submitted a reVIsed Lot Reeonfiguration Coneept reduclllg the number
ofresidentIallots to 302 and recollfigure the subdivision as a result of complianee WIth the Conditions of
Approval and reqUIrements Ilfregulatory agencies, On Deeember 21, 2004, the Council directed Staff to
continue working with the developer of Sehaefer Ranch to prepare a Final Map consistent With the
proposed Lot Reconfiguratioll Concept.
Existing Use:
The project area eurrently eonsists of vacant grasslands and hillsides with seattered rural reSidential and
agricultural uses. Extensive grading actIvity IS currently underway consistent With the Couneil dircction
to continue working With the developer on a Lot Reeonfiguration Concept.
General Plan/Zoning:
Page 2 01'7
301 ;Lf
SIX Planned Development (PO) HllleS wlthm the Schaefer Ranch PD district were approved wIth the
original PD zoning and are detined in temls of permitted, condlhonal. acccssory, and temporary uses
COTlslstcnt with the General Plan. These zones arc: PD ResidentIal Estates, PD Single-Family
Residcntial, PD Semi"Publie, PD Retail/Office, and PD Open Space. A category for existing agrieultura1
and rural reSidential uses also was mcluded.
llnder the currently proposed Stage 2 Development lUld Lot Reconfigurahon Coneept, the SOO"aere
project site is divided into !'JUr residential neighborhoods. The fOllr neighborhoods oeeupy SS.28 acres o[
thc SehaeICr Raneb project arca. Within the overall SOO-aere project area, the gross density is 1.66 units per
aere. Within the 55.28 acres designated withm the neIghborhoods, project density is 544 units per acre, or
low-density residenhal use, The land use designation and Planned Development zomng are consistent and
no changes arc proposed at this time. The pennitted uses proposed in the Stagc 2 Development Plan are
CllllslSlent wIth land uSe des1l,,'nations Other uses inelllde: hillside slope/open space, recreal10n (aehve &
and passive) open spaee, trail system, roadway systems, dramalle systems, water tanks, detention basins,
and non-resIdential propeJ11es described il5 II N01ghborhood Commercial site and a Semi-Public site
prevIously delen1l1neu. No development is being proposed for the non-resluenhal propertJes al thiS tlme.
However, the development of non-residential uses would be subject to a Stage 2 Development Plan and
Site Develo)'ment Review at a future date.
Stage 2 Development Plan (includlug Arcbltectural Guidelines):
In accorda1:1ce WIth Section 8.32 of the Zl'lnmg Ordinance, a Stage 2 Devclopment Plan includes'
1 Pennitted, Conditional, Accessory & Tempor.try Uses
2, Site Development StarJdards - mcludmg lot area, lot dimensions, lot coverage, setbacks, building
height, etc.
3 Parkmg Slandards
4 Arehitcetural Design Standards
5 Traffic, Circulation & Streetseapc standards
6. LlUldseape & Open Space StlUldards
7 Phasing
Thl:! propnsl:lll Stagl:! 2 DI:!Vl:!lopment Plan would:
. am~nd th~ Development Standards originally approved to create conslstency WIth the residential
ArchllllCtural DeSIgn Standards adopted after the initial PD zoning;
. mcorpor.tte the ArchItectural DeSIgn Standard as part of the Development Plan,
. allow for reviey, and adoption of a Stage 2 Development Plan based 011 the revIsed and adopted
Developmcnt Standards; and
. allow the SIte Development Review to be evaluated against the standards currently proposed.
As stated above, the PD zoning and Architcctural Design Guidelines were adopted pnor to establishing the
two-stage procedure for Plarmed Development zonmg. To establish eonsisteney between past approvals
and the eurrent Development Plan approval proeess, the Development Standards previously adopted by
Resolution are now proposed to be incorporated by Ordinanee as part of the Stage 2 Development Plan.
With exceptiOn of lot coverage standards which were not included with the Development Standards,
adopted by Resolution 111 191)8, all other Development Standards currently proposed with the Stage 2
Developmcnt Plan arc consistent with the standards adopted in 1998 reflecting the uses and eharaeter of
Page 3 of7
the initial PO zoning/pre-zoning and tbe Development Standards adopted ml99S The propos'!dotail2
Development Plan is more comprehensive and results in an increase m open space, maintenance of natural
slope area, and installation of water quality elements. The Arcb,teclural Design Standards, not prevlllusly
addressed, also are proposed for adoption with tbe Stage 2 Development Plan.
The proposed Stage 2 Development Plan, including the Development Sta!1clards, are proposed to be
incorporated by Ordinance, and arc consistent with the standards adopted previously by Resolution. Also,
the Lot Reconfiguration Concept for Vesting Tentative Tract Map 6765 is in substantial conformance With
those standards. The final subdiVlslOnmap to he recorded will comply witb the standards adopted 1ll the
Stage 2 Development Plan,
Of the four neighborhoods within Schaefer Ranch, Nelghhorhood A is the most westerly, located at the
proposed lermmus of Dublm Boulevard against the hillside slopes; it mcludes only PO Rcsidential
Estates. Neighborhoods B, C & D wOllld be developed as PD SU1gle Family Residential. Neighborhood
B is loeated against hillside slopes 11] the eastern portIOn of the projoct site. NeighbOI-hood C IS north of
the Dubhn Boulevard extension, and Neighborhood 0 is eentraUy located between Neighborhoods B and
C Designated residential product types are associated With each neighborhood. All residential UllltS
within thiS PD zone are smgle family detached homes which arc consistent With the standards eurrently
proposed m the Stage 2 Development Plan.
Itls anhclpated tbat tbe seale and charautcr ofthc Rcta.ilJOffiee and Seml-Pubhc uses pruposed will rclatc
to the standards approved in 1()98 However, a subsequent amendment to the Stage 2 Development Plan
will be required for the PO Retall/0ffice use 1lJ addlhon to a Site Development ReView that will be
reqUired for the PD SClTII-Publie Use,
The four Neighborhoods (A, 13, C, and Dj generally are described in Table I as follows:

A matrix of Residential Site Uevelopment Standards proposed to be adopted with the Stage 2
Development Plan IS 1lJcluded liS a part of the proposed Stage 2 PD zoning ordinance for this project and
shows caeh of the standards in detail. As with the initial PO zomng, residential site development
standards include' minimum lot area (also shown In Table 1, abovc), width (street frontage), depth, and
building separatIon, maXIlllum lot coverage, building height, and usable rear yard, mmimum front, rear,
and Sldeyards, allowable setback encroachments, and required parking,
In General, all units are providcd, at a minimum, with a two.car garage. Two plans in Neighborhood A
have space for four cars. With the exceptIon of the one-story lloor plan in Neighborhood C, all other
plans have at least three eovered spaces in the form of a 3-ear garage or larger, or a two-car garage with a
tandem third SplleC. With the exception of the u lots in NClghborhood A.I at the end of Dublin
Boulevard, all lots will take access to and from a puhhe street. Due to the slopes and hillSide areas WIthin
the proJeet Site, a standard usable rear yard area was established at 10% of the lot with a minimum
dimension at anyone pomt of 15 feet.

insuring an attractive environment.
DeSIgn of the pmJcet pmposes to take advantage of the eXlstlllg tupography of the site. The
Neighborhood Design aims to create a visually interesting. but funcl1onal, street seene through a variety of
techniques in tlle plotting and m3Ssillg and a mIX of arehiteetural plans and styles. Such techmques would
include, hut not be hmlted to I) reversing and varying adjacent plans and exterior styles, 2) avoiding
repel1l1ous pulterns, 3) varying heights and setbacks, 4) incorporatrng smgle-story elements into two-story
huildings, and 5) minimi:l:ing thc visual impact of garages.
There are a variety of housmg pmduct types in the form of 20 diffcrent floor plans proposed for
development withm the four neighborhoods, n,e floor plans provIde a vanety of bedroom and bathroom
eombinations, as well as flexible space optIOns. The flexible options include bonus rooms, studios,
libmnes, dens, tecb areas, and retreats.
The lMgest floor plans, for tbe Residential Estates, would be located Wlthm Neighborhood A, Plan 18 at
6,853 square feet, along with Plans 13 through 17 Plans I through 8 ure loeated in Neighborhoods B, C,
and 0 In these neighborhoods. Plan 1 is the largest at 3,899 square feet. There are two one-story floor
plans, both of whIch bave an optional loft, within Neighborhoods B and C. At least one of the two one-
story floor plans have generally been situated on the comer lots in order to provide an appropriate
neighborhood seale and visually reduce building ma.,s, Plans q through 12 are located In NeIghborhood 0
on the smallest lots. The smallest floor plan is the single-story plan Cl at 2,6q2 square feet and located in
both Neighborhoods B and C The larger floor plans, those within Neighborhood A and some in
Neighborhoods Band C, feature a easita whIch can be used as home office or living area separate m.lm the

mtent of Chapter 8.32 m that it provides a eomprehensive development plan that is tailored to the
proposed land use designatIons Wlthm the site, creates a desirable use of land that IS senSll1ve to
surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan, and uses creatIve deslgn
and a mix of eomplementary uses to create open space areas, residential neighborhoods, and
public facilities within the Area.
2. Development of Sehaefer Ranch under the PO-Planned Development zoning will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and future development m the surrounding area in that
the land uses estabhsh neigbborhoods, provide open space amenities, and allow for a variety of
housing types in the form of residential estates and low density residential. The land uses and site
plan provide effective transitions to surrounding development which is characterized by the
proposed vehicular and pedestrian circulation system.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120050.A and B of the Dublin Munieipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows.
I Development of Schaefer Ranch under the PO-Planned Development zoning will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area in that
the land LISeS estabhsh neighborhoods, provide open space amenities, and allow for a variety of
housmg types in the form of residential estates and low density residentJaL The land uses and site
plan provide effective transitions to surrounding development which lS eharactenzed by the
proposed vehicular and pedestnan CIrculation system.
2. The proposed Stage 2 Development Plan lor Schaefer Ranch has been deSIgned to
accommodate the topography of the proJect site whleh typically is characterized as vacant rolling
hills with some rural residential and agrieultural uses swtable for the development of
neighborhoods, parks, trails, and open space use, and therefore physieally suitable for the type and
intensity of tile proposed development.
3 The proposed Stage 2 Development Plan for Schaefer Ranch will not adversely affect the
hcalth or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public
health, safety and welfare in that the projeet will comply with all applieable development
regulatIOns and standards and will Implement all adopted mitigation measures.

preserve open space. The residential portlOns of the project are laid out in four neighborhoods
ranging from Residential Estates m NeIghborhood A to gradually inereasing, higher density,
smgle-family resldentml NeIghborhoods B, C, and 0 Acreage, number of units, number of
lots per tract, and lots within each neighborhood are shown m the following table:

b Floor Plans - A variety of housing product types is provided among the four reSIdentIal
neighborhoods. The largest floor plans, for the Residential Estates, would be located within
Neighborhood A. In Neighborhoods B, C, and 0 the units generally decrease in size reflecting
the deereasing lot size. A one-story floor plan and one-story plan with optional loft has been
provided lor Neighborhoods Band C At least one of the two one-story floor plans generally
has been situated on tbe eorner lots in order to provide an appropriate neighborhood scale and
VIsually reduce buildmg mass.
The floor plans provide a variety of bedroom and bathroom combmahons, as well as flexible
space options. The larger floor plans, those within Neighborhood A and some III
Neighborhoods B and C, feature a casita which can be used as home office or hving area
separate from the main quarters. The flexibility options as include bonus rooms, studios,
libraries, dens, teeh areas, and retreats.
Where possible side-entry garages, as opposed to street-facing garages have been utilized. In
the larger plans street-facing garages have been recessed behind the front setbaek hne past a
gated entrance or porte eoehere into a motorcourt; this arrangement is utilized on
nelgbborhoods A and B Neighborhoods m Band C offer at least one plan with a side entry
garage. All lots within Neighborhood D have street facing double garages. ArchItectural
elements, such as porches, overhangs, quality embellishments and other elements are mtended
to minimize visual impaet. Building area and residential features of the units wlthm each

e. Architecture - Six different architectural styles are proposed for the 20 different floor plans
among the four neighborhoods. Eaeh floor plan can accommodate tlnee or four architectural
styles that would be compatible dependmg upon the plan, Arehiteetural elements arc proposed
to be articulated on all elevations of eaeh building. The architectural styles represent a ~anety
of colors, matenals, roof eonfigurahons, and other elements to ereate visual diversity and
umqueness among the umts through<wt tbe neighborhood while maintaining a continuity of
[unehon and proportIOn. The archItectural styles, along with the design elements of each, are
depleted Oil pages AS.! through AS.6 and are described as:
11
Jq of;2f
California Ranch The Cahfomla Raneh style IS represented by low pitch roof in a hip, gable,
or Dutch gable configuration with flat, shmgle-Iike roof tiles. Exterior materials inelude wood
siding, stucco, and board & batten combined with brick base and post elements, as well as the
use of some stone. Architectural features Illelude pIcture windows, wooden shutters, gables
end detail, such as trusses, louvers, and exposed rafter tales. Colors are brown and charcoal
blends.
Monterey The Monterey style is characterized by low-pitehed gable roof and cantilevered
second story baleolJ1es covered by the principal roo [ of concrete tile shingles. Wall matenals
typically are different for first and second floors generally consisting of extensive use of brick
on the lower levels with stucco, wood siding or board and batten above. Architectural
elements include simple wooden posts or railings, wooden shutters, timber door and wmdow
frames, and gable end accents. Colors are Cali lamia mission blends with gray accents.
Early Californian. Early Californian is distinguished by sImple massing and the principal roof
material of eonerete barrel tiles representing terracotta III color and form on a hip or gable roof
above narrow overhangs. Stucco finished exteriors are accented by arebed doorways, wooden
shutters, wrought iron detailing, and gable end accents. Colors are California mission and
brown blends with deep green or deep blue tone accents.
English Country' Formal eharaeteristies of the English County style are identified by steep
pitched roofs dominated by a cross gable form above stuccoed walls accented with extensive
use of brick and half-timbered details. Stone features, bneked arebways, deeorativc eorbcls,
and multi-paned windows give this style its country image along with tbe hip over gable end
roof elements. Colors arc charcoal, brown, and mission blends with earthy green tone accents.
Craftsman. The popular Craftsman style features combinations o I' wood shingled, board &
batten, and elapboard siding with stone aeeent bases on pairs of square tapered columns. The
long, low-pitched gable roofs of concrete tilc shingles are supported by unenclosed eave
overhangs wIth decorative wooden braees and exposed rafter tails. Colors are charcoal and
charcoal-brown blends with gray and moss green accents.
American Farmhouse: The American Farmhouse incorporates a variety of materials for
building extenor and detailing to present a mstie appearance including stucco, wood siding,
brick and stone courses, and board and batten. Moderately pitched gable or Dutch gable roofs
would be fimshed with nat eon crete shingle or tile. A distinetive element offered with this
style would allow porches or other one-story elements around the building to feature a
powder.coated metal seanl roof. Other archItectural features inelude wooden shutters, pot
shelves, and trellises. Colors are charcoal and Cahfornla mission blends with brown or blue-
gray aeeents.

to, Compliance with Stage 2 Planned Development Plans
The project shall substantially comply with the project plans and details prepared by KTGY, Inc.
dated reeeived June 20, 2006, (in addition to the Landscape Plans described above) labeled
Attachment 3 to the Planning Commission Staff Report dated June 27, 2006. Such projeet plans
are ineorporated hy reference.
The Stage 2 Development Plan satisfies the followmg reuulfed elements:
a, General Plan Consistency, The Schaefer Ranch IS conSIstent wl(h the General Plan of the
City of Dublin. While the Lot Reeonfiguration Concept Plan submitted by the developer
proposes the same land uses in generally the same locations on-site, there are variations from the
approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map and the plan as shown on the General Plan Land Use
Map. The General Plan anticipated a maximum of 474 smgle-farnily resJ(lenhallots, meluding
II estate lots. The Tentative Map was approved with 451 single-family residential lots and 14
estate lots. The reconfiguration plan submitted by the developer would create 302 smgle-farnily
residential lots, including 18 estate lots. Additionally, the plan shows a demarcation between
residential lots and open spaee residenhallots wlthm a portlon ofthe project area that varies
somewhat from that shown on General Plan Land Use Map. At the December 21,2004 City
Couneil meeting, the Council directed Staff to continue working with the developer of Schaefer
