The proposed development is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area on an approximately 19-acre site at 5020 Tassajara Road. The development will include 109 small-lot detached single-family units and a regional trail and stream corridor buffer/ open space area along the western portion of the site, adjacent to Tassajara Creek. The application includes a Planned Development (PD) Rezone & Development Plan, Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment, Vesting Tentative Map, and Site Development Review. A Development Agreement is also required prior to approval of the Final Map. Additional descriptions of the proposed development concept are contained in the Staff Report from the May 5, 1998 City Council meeting, and the proposed Development Plan included as Exhibit A-I to this report (incorporated by reference). As required by the Dublin Municipal Code, a second reading is necessary prior to final adoption of the rezoning ordinance, which will classify the site as a PD (Planned Development) District, with a Development Plan refining individual zoning categories and land use standards. The proposed PD zoning would be consistent with the Prezoning, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and General Plan land use designations for this site. . RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive the second reading and adopt an Ordinance establishing a Planned Development Zoning District for the site.

Adequate setbacks and complementary architectural designs and landscaping proposed in the Development Plan have been specially designed to enhance and fit into the new neighborhood. 3.
