DESCRIPTION:
On April 20, 2010, the City Council adopted a Resolution amending the General Plan to
designate the westernmost and easternmost portions of the right-of-way of Scarlett Court as
Business Park/Industrial and Outdoor Storage. The City Council also waived the reading and
introduced an Ordinance Zoning these portions of Scarlett Court as Light Industrial (M-1)
(Attachment 1).
By zoning the westernmost and easternmost portions of Scarlett Court as Light Industrial (M-1),
these areas will be compatible with the existing zoning designations of the surrounding
properties. This will allow for the orderly development of these sites, in the future, with projects
that are compatible with the surrounding area. For a background discussion and analysis of the
Project, please refer to the April 20, 2010 Staff Report (Attachment 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State CEQA guidelines and
City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental
impacts and when applicable, environmental documents prepared. Staff is recommending that
the Project be found Gategorically Exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Section 15332, In-Fill
Development, because the westernmost portion of Scarlett Court is .97 acres in size and the
easternmost portion of Scarlett Court is 1.12 acres. Additionally, the vacated right-of-way of
Scarlett Court is currently developed with a road and related improvements and is surrounded on
all sides by development.

A. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and 8.120.050.B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City
Council finds as follows:
1. The establishment of the Light Industrial (M-1) Zoning District for the vacated right-of-
way of Scarlett Court is harmonious and compatible wifh existing development and
potential development in the surrounding area because: 1) the zoning action will
establish a zoning district of Light Industrial (M-1) which is consistent with the
established zoning of the properties in the surrounding area; and 2) by zoning the
property Light Industrial, the vacated right-of-way would be allowed to be developed in
the future with project(s) that are compatible with the existing development in the
surrounding area.
2. The vacated portions of the right-of-way of Scarlett Court are physically suitable for
the type and intensity of the Light Industrial (M-1) Zoning District because: 1)
development of the sites is anticipated to occur in the future, but is not a part of this
application at this time; 2) the vacated right-of-way of Scarlett Court is currently
developed with a public road and is surrounded by Light Industrial development and
the existing BART Station and parking lot; 3) the sites are suitable for the future
development of a light industrial use because the right-of-way is currently surrounded
by existing development and light industrial uses; and 4) the sites are currently
developed and are relatively flat, and is therefore physically suitable for the type and
intensity of the proposed Light Industrial (M-1) Zoning District.
3. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect fhe health or safefy of persons
residing or working in the vicinity or be detrimenta/ to the public health, safety and
welfare because: future development will be required to conform to the perFormance
standards and all zoning regulations applicable to the Light Industrial (M-1) Zoning
District.

Scarlett Court,
GeneraJ Plan Amendment
The recently-vacated westernmast and easternmost portions of the right-of-way of Scarlett
Court do not currently hav~ land t~se d~signations in the General Plan because they were
roadways. The properties surrounding the vacated portians of the right-of-way ofi Scarlett Court
are currently designated as Business Parkllndustrial and flutdoor Storage as shown c~n the
figures below.

Figur+e 4: Existing G~neral Plan L.and Use Designations near the East~rnmost Portion of
Scarlett Court
Staff is recommending that the vacated portions of the right-of-way ofi Scarlett Court be
designated as Busines~ Parkilndus#rial and Outdo~r Storage in #he General Plan so #hat these
areas wil! be consisten# with the surrounding land use designations. The proposed Resolution
(Attachment 1) would amend the General Plan.
Zoning Map Amendm~nt
The westernmc~st and easternrnost portions of Scarle#t Court do not have a~oning Designation
because they were a part of the road~ay system. The Scarlett Court area has twfl Zaning
Designations, with the Light Industrial (M-1} Zoning District being the most camman Zoning
~esignation in the area, as shown on the figures below.
As shc~wn on the above map, the vacated portions o# the right-nfi-way on Scarlett Court are
surrounded by pr~perties which are zoned Light Industrial. St~ff recommends that the vacated
[7~rro A nf ~

portions of Scarlett Court be zoned Light Industrial consistent with the surrounding
Designations. The proposed Ordinance (Attachment 2) would provide that zoning.
CONCLUSION:
By designating the westernmost and easternmost portions of Scarlett Court as Business
Park/Industrial and Outdoor Storage, these portions will be compatible with the General Plan
Land Use Designation of the surrounding properties. By Zoning these portions of Scarlett Court
as Light Industrial (M-1) on the Zoning Map, these areas will be compatible with the existing
Zoning Designations of the surrounding properties. This will allow for the orderly development of
these sites, in the future, with projects that are compatible with the surrounding area.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
An expanded noticing area was used to notify the public of tonight's meeting. Staff mailed a
notice to all property owners within the Scarlett Court Area and to all property owners and
tenants within 300 feet of this area. The Public Notice was also published in the Valley Times
and posted at several locations throughout the City.
In accordance with SB 18, Staff sent a notice of the General Plan amendment to the three
Native American tribes who are required to be notified by the City of an upcoming General Plan
Amendment. Staff has not received any comments from these tribes regarding the proposed
amendment.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State Guidelines and City
environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts
and when applicable, environmental documents prepared. Staff is recommending that the
Project be found Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
pursuant to Section 15332, In-Fill Development, because the westernmost portion of Scarlett
Court is .97 acres in size and the easternmost portion of Scarlett Court is 1.12 acres.
