Background
The Dublin Village Historic Area consists of approximately 38 acres of land generally located northwest
of San Ramon Road and Interstate 580. The Specific Plan area includes commercial, residential, public,
and business parklindustrial properties surrounding the intersection of Donlon Way and Dublin Boulevard
(Attachment 5), There are 21 parcels ofland that comprise the entire Specific Plan area.
On August 1, 2006, the City Council reviewed and approved the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific
Plan and related General Plan Amendments. At that meeting, the Council also approved the Dublin
Historic Park Master Plan that encompasses seven properties within the Specific Plan area (Figure 1 on
Page 4 of this Staff Report).
The Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan contains several follow-up implementation actions that
would need to be completed in order to realize the goals of the Plan. Three of the implementation actions
are being reviewed by the City Council this evening. They include:
Action 1:
Rezoning six properties in the Specific Plan area to bring the zoning designation into
conformance with the new Specific Plan and General Plan land use designations;
Approving a minor text amendment to Section 8.62 of the Zoning Ordinance as it
relates to the Specific Plan design guidelines and taking formal action to rescind the
stand-alone Dublin Village Design Guidelines document adopted by the City Council in
January 2005; and
Amending the San Ramon Specific Plan to remove two properties from the project area
boundary that are now contained in the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan.
Action 2:
Action 3:
ANALYSIS:
Action 1: Rezoning to Planned Development (Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan.) Zoning
District
The area covered by the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan includes several General Plan land use
designations, including Retail/Office, ParkslPublic Recreation, Medium-Density Residential, and
Business ParklIndustrial.
On August 1, 2006, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment to change the land use
designation of five properties in the area from Retail/Office to ParkslPublic Recreation for the purposes of
implementing the Dublin Historic Park Master Plan, which was also adopted by the City Council on
August 1, 2006. The Dublin Historic Park Master Plan is comprised of seven parcels within the Specific
Plan area, as shown below in Figure 1.
Six ofthe seven parcels shown in Figure 1 are proposed to be re-zoned as described below in Table 1:

Parcels 1-4:
The new Plarmed Development (Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan) Zoning District will apply to
the following four parcels: Parcell: 11759 Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-1560-007-01), Parcel 2: No
address (APN 941-1560-006), Parcel 3: No address (APN 941-1560-005), and Parcel 4: No address (APN
941-1560-003-03).
Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance (Planned Development Zoning District) requires that a Stage 1
Development Plan be adopted with the reclassification of the properties to the Planned Development
Zoning District. The Plan requires that the following sections be addressed: zoning; statement of
proposed, permitted, conditional and temporary uses; site plan; site area and proposed densities; phasing
plan; landscaping plan; general plan and specific plan consistency; inclusionary zoning regulations; and
development regulations and architectural standards. In the case of this Planned Development rezoning,
the Specific Plan and Dublin Historic Park Master Plan will serve as both the Stage 1 and Stage ::
Development Plan, and no additional land use entitlements shall be required if development is proposed
which is consistent with the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan and the Dublin Historic Park
Master Plan. The Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 2.
Since this Planned Development Rezone is City-initiated, there are no detailed plans being approved in
conjunction with a development application. However, the entirety of the new Planned Development
Zoning District is within the Dublin Historic Park Master Plan boundar)', and it is anticipated that all
future development in the Planned Development Zoning District will be in compliance with the adopted
Historic Park Master Plan Map, which is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 2.
Page 5 of9
Parcels 5 and 6:
The existing zoning for Lot 5 (Dublin Heritage Center/St. Raymond's Church) and Lot 6 (Pioneer
Cemetery/Murray Schoolhouse) were not initially proposed to be revised. These two properties (both
owned by the City of Dublin) have historically had a General Plan land use designation of Parks/Public
Recreation; therefore they were not a part of the General Plan Amendment adopted by the Council on
August 1, 2006. Additionally, these two properties are currently zoned A (Agricultural), which is not
inconsistent with the General Plan designation of Parks & Recreation or the implementation of the Dublin
Village Historic Area Specific Plan. While the underlying zoning of Agricultural will not affect the
implementation of the Specific Plan, the Planning Commission directed Staff to i;nclude these two
properties as a part of the proposed rezone of the adjacent parcels to Planned Development (Dublin
Village Historic Area Specific Plan) Zoning District to ensure consistency of all of the properties related
to the Dublin Historic Park Master Plan. Furthennore, these two parcels are a part of the City-owned
Dublin Heritage Center and Pioneer Cemetery which are a part of the overall Historic Park Master Plan.
The other three parcels which comprise the Dublin Heritage Center and Pioneer Cemetery (lots 1-3 of
Table 1 above) are proposed to be rezoned to Planned Development (Dublin Village Historic Area
Specific Plan). When the Planning Commission considered this item at their meeting on August 22, 2006,
the Commission reviewed the appropriateness of rezoning these two properties to Planned Development
to ensure consistency of all parcels under City ownership and directed Staff to include the additional two
parcels in the rezoning.
Parcel 7:
Staff is not recommending to amend the zoning district of the Green Store site at 11873 Dublin
Boulevard. Although the Planned Development Zoning District and the allowed uses in that district are
not consistent with the Specific or General Plan land use designation of ParkslPublic Recreation, leaving
the existing zoning ensures that the church and religious land use can continue to operate under its
Conditional Use Permit as specified in the Specific Plan. Leaving the current zoning in place would be
consistent with the language in Section 7.6 of the General Plan, which states that "The Green Store is a
recognized historical resource and has been used as a church since 1989. This use can remain as long as
the landowner(s} wish to continue its operation. The Parks/Public Recreation designation on the General
Plan Land Use Map illustrates the long-term potential for expansion of the heritage park to include this
historic structure and the properzy it is on and is not intended to affect or change the current church use
or its continued operation as a religious land use under a valid Conditional Use Permit." The existing
Planned Development Zoning District is proposed to remain.
Therefore, Parcels 1-6 are proposed to be rezoned to a Planned Development (Dublin Historic Area
Specific Plan) Zoning District and Parcel 7 is proposed to remain with its current Planned Development
Zoning District, which permits the current church use.
Action 2: Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Section 8.62 Text and Rescission of the Dublin J-"illage
Design Guidelines
In January 2005, the City Council simultaneously adopted the Dublin Village Design Guidelines, created
an Overlay Zoning District, and adopted a new section of the Zoning Ordinance: Section 8.62 (Historic
Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review), which was developed to guide the implementation of
the Design Guidelines.
On August 1, 2006, when the Dublin Village Historic .puea Specific Plan was adopted by the City
Council, the Design Guidelines were incorporated into the Specific Plan document as Section 7. The
Page 6 of9
7 -"1
intent was to have all of the guidelines, regulations, and requirements pertaining to the Historic Area i:
one p,lace. Now that the Design Guidelines have been incorporated into the Specific Plan, the Zoning
Ordinance Chapter 8.62, which refers to the Design Guidelines as a separate and distinct document, needs
to be revised.
The exact text amendments are shown in the proposed ordinance (Attachment 3), but the amendments
merely consist of changing all references in Section 8.62 of the Zoning Ordinance to the "Dublin Village
Design Guidelines" with "Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan." All properties within the Specific
Plan boundaries, depicted on the Specific Plan Map in Attachment 5, would be required to comply with
the design guidelines of the Specific Plan as well as the other provisions of the Plan, with the exception of
the existing church use on the Green Store site, as noted,above.
Action 3: Amendment to the San Ramon Specific Plan
When the boundary for the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan was defined and approved by the
City Council, it was drawn in an attempt to include all properties containing known historical,
archeological, or cultural resources. Because the property at 7100 San Ramon Road includes the remnants
of the historic Alamilla Springs, this property (and the one immediately adjacent to it at 11865 Dublin
Boulevard), was included in the boundary of the Historic Area Specific Plan, even though the two
properties were already a part of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan, which was adopted by the City
Council in June 1983.
One of the implementation actions of the Specific Plan was to remove these two parcels from the San
Ramon Road Specific Plan so it is clear that only the standards and regulations of the Dublin Village
Historic Area Specific Plan apply. The exact proposed boundary modification to the San Ramon Road
Specific Plan is shown in Exhibit A to Attachment 4. There are no changes proposed to any other portion
of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan, solely that the two properties referenced above are removed from
the Plan's boundary. The underlying zoning of the two properties (commercial and multi-family
residential) would remain the same and are not proposed to \:Ie modified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Dublin
Environmental Guidelines, to identify and analyze impacts of the proposed project. A 30-day public
review period began May 31, 2006 and ended June 30, 2006. The IS/MND was sent to the State
Clearinghouse to be disseminated to all appropriate State agencies. The Mitigated Negative Declaration
was adopted by the City Council on August 1,2006.
Addendum to th.e Mitigated Negative Declaration
In the project description for the Initial StudylMitigated Negative Declaration, Staff initially expected that
the rezoning, to ensure consistency with the Specific Plan and General Plan, would only affect the
property at 11759 Dublin Boulevard (owned by Berkeley Land Co.), which is zoned C-I (Retail
Commercial). It was assumed for the purposes of the environmental review that all other parcels in the
Specific Plan area that have a General Plan land use designation of Parks /Public Recreation would remain
with the existing Agricultural Zoning District. Upon further analysis, it became apparent that it would be
most appropriate to rezone to Planned Development (Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan) for all
six properties with a land use designation of ParkslPublic Recreation. Therefore, the five parcels (Lots 1-
3, 5, and 6 of Table 1 in this Staff Report) which were not previously proposed to be rezoned from A
(Agricultural) to Planned Development (Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan) are now being
Page 701'9
considered as a part of this environmental document. The last parcel which is proposed to be rezoned (J (' r:t
(Parcel 4) was previously analyzed to be rezoned from C-1 (Retail Commercial) to Planned Develop)TIent
(Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan); and therefore does not need to be included in the addendum.
Additionally, although Staff initially intended to rezone the Green Store site at the same time as the others,
Staff is now recommending to not change the zoning district of the Green Store site at 11873 Dublin
Boulevard because the Conditional Use Permit on the property ensures that the use can continue as a legal,
conforming use. The existing Planned Development Zoning District is proposed to remain.
In order to address this issue as it relates to CEQA review, an Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan and related General Plan
Amendments has been prepared that notes the proposed property rezoning, the minor impacts of the
addition of five parcels to the Planned Development Zoning District, and its relation to the environmental
analysis already completed (Exhibit A to Attachment 1).
PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING:
At the July 11, 2006 Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission considered the Dublin Village
Historic Area Specific Plan implementation measures. The Commission recommended approval of all the
actions to the City Council, and also recommended including the two Dublin Heritage Center parcels in
the Planned Development (Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan) Zoning District. The resolutions
adopted by the Planning Commission were revised to reflect this direction.
UP-COMING ACTIONS:
At the August 1, 2006 City Council meeting, the Council reviewed and concurred with the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to include three additional parcels within the Dublin
Village Historic Area Specific Plan. At the September 19, 2006 City Council meeting, the Council will
consider whether or not to initiate a Specific Plan Amendment Study to add these three parcels.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan and related General Plan Amendments furthers
several of the goals the City Council has developed in recent years related to the City's historic core. 111
order to implement the goals of the Specific Plan, several implementation actions need to be approved,
including the three outlined in this report.

ORDINANCE NO. xx - 06
AN ORDn~ANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
* * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.62 (HISTORIC OVERLAY ZONING
DISTRICT SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW) OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO REMOVE
REFERENCE TO THE "DUBLIN VILLAGE HISTORIC AREA DESIGN GUIDELINES'"
REPLACE WITH REFERENCE TO THE "DUBLIN VILLAGE HISTORIC AREA SPECIFIC
PLAN," AND RESCINDING THE DUBLIN VILLAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES
P A (02-074)
'VHEREAS~ on January 21, 2005 the City Council simultaneously adopted the Dublin Village
Design Guidelines, created an Overlay Zoning District, and adopted a new section of the Zoning
Ordinance: Section 8.62 (Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review), which was
developed to guide the implementation of the Design Guidelines; and
V"HEREAS, on August 1, 2006, when the Dublin Village Historic Mea Specific Plan was
adopted by the City Council, the Design Guidelines were incorporated into the Specific Plan document as
Section 7; and
WHEREAS, the intent is to have all of the guidelines, regulations, and requirements pertaining to
the Historic Area in one place. Now that the Design Guidelines have been incorporated into the Specific
Plan, the Zoning Ordinance Chapter 8.62 (Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review),
, which refers to the Design Guidelines as a separate and distinct document, needs to be revised; and
WHEREAS, the exact text amendments are shown in Section 2 of this Ordinance, but can be
summarized by stating that all references in Section 8.62 to the "Dublin Village Design Guidelines" ha'iTe
been replaced with "Dublin Village Historic Mea Specific Plan"; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending that the City Council approve the
amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered this item at its meeting 011
August 22, 2006 and recommended approval of the Ordinance to the City Council via Planning
Commission Resolution No. 06-035; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and use its independent judgment and consider all said
reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinal?ove set forth.
NO""', THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Dublin does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA ''): The City Council
declares this ordinance is exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section
15061 (b )(3) states that CEQA applies only to those proj ects that have the potential to cause a significant
effect on the environment. This adoption of this ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the ordinance
does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but it sets forth the design
guidelines that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed to be constructed or a site
1
/7 tJf/7
is proposed to be developed under existing entitlements. This ordinance, therefore, has no potential for
resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately.
Section 2. Amendment of Chapter 8.62: Chapter 8.62 of the Dublin Municipal Code~ entitled
"Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review," shall be amended as set forth below only in
those sections so noted. Text to be re~oved is shown in atrikothrough and text to be added is sh~wn
underlined.
