LOCATION MAP SUBJECT PROPERTY ATTACHMENT 1 August 6, 2003 Honorable Mayor Lockhart City Council Members City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Re: Request for Annexation Stady for Potential Multi-Family Residential Development on 6.6 Developable Acres Located at 6960 and 7020 Tassajara Road, Dublin Dear Mayor and Council Members: KB Home has entered into contract to purchase the above referenced 6.6 acres of developable land. KB would like to build a high quality, multi-family project at that location, and asks that you authorize your staff to initiate an Annexation Study for consideration of such proposal. On the site, KB Home proposes to build 93 townhomes and stacked flats, which achieves a density of approximately 14.1 units per developable acre. We have included a preliminary site plan and a map showing the general vicinity of the site. KB Home intends to comply with the City of Dublin's General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. We have met with planning staff and determined preliminarily that this development will require the following: 1. Annexation to the City of Dublin. The properties are within the City's "Sphere of Influence" and are contiguous to other properties currently applying for annexation. 2. Approval of a Vesting Tentative Map; 3. Approval ofa CEQA compliance document for the project; and 4. Approval of a Development Agreement. In this regard, KB Home requests that the City Council express its interest in considering this project and request that staff initiate the necessary studies to permit development of this site. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Respectfully submitted, Jeffery McMullen KB Home, Vice President, Land Acquisition ATTACHMENT ?
