Page 1 of3
As part of the General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment, a Medium
Density Residential land use designation was established for Neighborhood F-l. The Planned
Development Rezone and Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans established the zoning and
development standards for the ::!::88.5 acre project area known as Dublin Ranch Area F North. Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 7282 created 119 medium density single family lots within Neighborhood F-l and
the Site Development Review established guidelines and standards for Dublin Ranch Area F North,
including Neighborhood F-l, with respect to residential site development; architectural design; and
landscaping and open space areas. This Site Development Review did not contemplate the specific design
of the future homes for Neighborhood F -1.
At the August 8, 2006 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved
the Site Development Review for the specific design of future homes for Neighborhood F-l.
ANALYSIS:
Development Agreement
One of the implementing measures of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan is the requirement that the City
enter into a Development Agreement with developers within the Plan area. The Development Agreement
provides security to the developer that the City will not change its zoning and other laws applicable to the
project for a specified period of time. The benefit to the City of entering into a Development Agreement
with the property owner is that the document is a contract that ensures that the goals of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan are met and the infrastructure facilities for the area are constructed with each development
phase. Additionally, it ensures that dedications of property and easements are made, project phasing is
followed, the appropriate fees are paid for the development, and any additional terms of the Agreement
are met as the development proceeds. '
The approval of Development Agreements is by adoption of an Ordinance by the City Council upon
recommendation by the Planning Commission. The proposed Development Agreement between the City
of Dublin and Standard Pacific Corporation is contained in Exhibit A of Attachment 1. The format and
structure of the Development Agreement for the Standard Pacific Homes project is based on the standard
Development Agreement developed by the City Attorney and adopted by the City Council for projects
within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area.
The City Attorney drafted the proposed Development Agreement for Standard Pacific Homes with input
from City Staff, representatives of the property owner and Developer, and their attorneys. The
Development Agreement sets forth the agreement between the parties in relation to many items, including,
but not limited to, phasing, on-site and off-site infrastructure, and the payment or waiver of fees. The
Development Agreement runs with the land and the rights thereunder can be assigned. The Development
Agreement becomes effective for a term of five (5) years from the date ofthe signing ofthe agreement.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 22, 2006 and adopted a Resolution
recommending City Council approval ofthe Development Agreement (Attachment 2).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Pursuant to Section 15182 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no additional
environmental review is required for the Neighborhood F-l project because residential projects which are
consistent with a Specific Plan are exempt from further CEQA review if the public agency has prepared
an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the applicable Specific Plan. The Neighborhood F-l project
has been reviewed pursuant to CEQA and a determination has been made that the project is consistent
with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, of which the project is a part. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
was the subject of an EIR certified in May 1993 by City Council Resolution 51-93 (SCH 91103064). In
addition, the project is located within Area F, which is the subject of a Mitigated Negative Declaration
certified in February 2000 by City Council Resolution 34-00 (SCH#99112040), and an EIR Addendum
and Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted on March 16, 2004 by City Council Resolution No.
43-04 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of this Development Agreement will implement provisions of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan,
and the conditions of approval specific to the Standard Pacific Homes 'Sonata' project. The proposal is
consistent with both the General Plan and the Specific Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Open the public hearing, 2) Receive Staff presentation, 3)
Take testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close the public hearing and deliberate; and,S)
Waive Reading and introduce the Ordinance (Attachment 1) recommending City Council approval of a
