Commtmities, Inc, residential project that will create a desirable use of land and an
environment that will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential
development in surrounding areas because the site plan has been designed to be
compatible with the proposed and approved plans in the vicinity, including the Tassajara

east and south oft he project° Adequate setbacks and complementary architectural
designs and landscaping proposed in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for
Phase II, have been specially designed to provide an attractive living environment°

residential project in that it is flat, has adequate access and is of a sufficient size to
provide housing as well as open space for the future residents of the project.
3o The proposed Planned Development Rezone, the Stage 2 Development
Plan for Tassajara Creek Phase II, will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety

been designed in accordance with the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and Program EIR and Addenda and the adopted Mitigated Negative
Declaration for PA 98-062. Additionally, project specific analysis has determined that
the project's design is sensitive to biological features on site and to proposed
surrounding land uses.

Dublin Specific Plan because the project is within, and consistent with, the density range
of the Medium Density Residential designation of both the City of Dublin General Plan
· Land Use Element and Eastem Dublin Specific Plan (as amended), and because it
