PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Applicant's Proposal:
The Applicant, Stanforth Holding Company, LLC, is proposing an amendment to the General Commercial
portion of the Planned Development District for Area C of Dublin Ranch. At the time that the original Area
C Planned Development District was adopted (1997), it was unknown what type of general commercial
development would occur on the area encompassed by the Area C General Commercial Land Use
designation as referenced in the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and ultimately the Planned
Development rezone. Because of this, the Site Development Standards (setbacks and building height),
Parking Standards, Architectural Design and Landscape Standards were not well defined (See Attachment 1).
The Applicant's proposed project, Fallon Gateway, as detailed in the Site Development Review (SDR) (See
Attachment 2) presents a comprehensive overall design for the project site. The requested Amendment to the
original Area C Development Plan will establish the standards necessary to implement the proposed SDR
and, as the project is to be phased, will assure the City Council that the same high quality development will
occur on the subsequent phases. Additionally, the Amendment will establish. Development Standards
commensurate with other projects in Dublin and will be more representative of current development trends
than those referenced in the original Development Standards adopted 12 years ago.
BACKGROUND:
Project Setting
The project site is a 33.91 net acre (38.43 gross acres)
vacant site that has been filled to raise the site in preparation
for development. There are no trees on site and the ground
cover consists predominantly ofnon-native grasses. The site
is generally flat and has very little variation in topography.
The project site slopes gently downward from north to
south. The lowest proposed elevation within the project site
is at approximately 349 feet above sea level and the highest
existing elevation is at approximately 363 feet above sea
level. Water, sewer, recycled water and joint trench
infrastructure are either currently available from utilities
constructed within Dublin Boulevard or are able to be
extended. to the project site. The location of the Fallon
Gateway project site is depicted in the map to the left.

t" ~ V/
The project site is bounded to the north across Dublin Boulevard
by a vacant property approved for General Commercial uses; to
the south by Interstate 580; to the west by a vacant property
owned by Kaiser Permanente approved for Campus Office and
anticipated to be developed with medical offices and a hospital;
and to the east (across Fallon Road) by a vacant property
approved for General Commercial land uses.
The project site is a portion of Area C of Dublin Ranch and is
located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The zoning
requirements for the Dublin Ranch Areas B-E were established by
Ordinance 24-97 dated December 2, 1997 establishing a Planned
Development Rezone. The Planned Development Rezone was for .
an approximately 452.6 acre site (See Attachment 3). Fallon
Gateway is within Area C of Dublin Ranch. Area C covers
approximately 85 acres including the 33.91 acre Fallon Gateway
project site. Please refer to the location map to the left for the
project site location.
Amendment to the original Area C Planned Development Rezone
Planned Developments as provided by Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance typically include: Site
Development Standards; Parking Standards; Architectural Design Standards; Traffic, Circulation, Streetscape
& Access; and Landscape & Open Space Standards. The Planned Development (PD) Amendment for Area C
addresses all of these items.
The Planned Development rezone for Areas B - E predates the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans
referenced in Chapter 8.32 (Planned Development Zoning District) of the City of Dublin's Zoning
Ordinance. This proposed PD Amendment would establish the site plan, architectural and landscape design
criteria, specific parking standards and the permitted, conditional and temporary uses for the entire project
site commensurate with the SDR reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 2009.
Because this project was approved under the existing Area B - E Planned Development, it is appropriate to
amend the PD document to modify the design criteria, parking standards and the permitted, conditional and
temporary uses.
Planning Commission
On April 28, 2009, the Planning Commission reviewed the Fallon Gateway project. At the Public Hearing,
the Planning Commission discussed the project's architecture including the light towers and graphic panels,
project phasing, parking, the 99 foot freestanding sign, and the Master Sign Program (the Planning
Commission Agenda Statement is included as Attachment 4 and the draft minutes of the Planning
Commission meeting are included as Attachment 5).
The Planning Commission adopted Resolution 09-18 approving the Site Development Review (SDR) for
Phases 1, ~ and 3 of the Project (Attachment 6). The Planning Commission also adopted Resolution 09-17
recorrnmend%ng that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving an amendment to the Planned
Development district for Dublin Ranch Area C to establish architectural and landscape design criteria,
specific parking standards and the permitted, conditional and temporary uses for the entire project site
(Attachment 7).
n r i
~ ~ i~~.
The Site Development Review that was approved by the Planning Commission includes 4 major tenant
spaces (Major A, Major B, Major C & Major D) and 6 smaller retail buildings (Shops 5 - 10) for a total of
311,553 square feet of development which includes Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the project site.
Although the SDR is not being reviewed by the City Council, the items in the SDR of relevance include the
use of varied materials including brick, laminate panel, metal, smooth paint, stone, storefront, textured paint
and tower elements; the: project's feature elements including the light towers and .illuminated building
graphics; the Fallon Road/Dublin Boulevard monuments; the landscaping, which accentuates the architecture
and adds additional texture and interest to the project; and,a freestanding freeway orientated pylon sign (See
Attachment 2).
ANALYSIS:
Planned Development District Amendment
The Applicant is proposing an amendment to the General Commercial portion of the Planned Development
District of Area C of Dublin Ranch. The proposed PD amendment will establish the standards necessary to
implement the proposed SDR and, the project is to be phased, will assure the City Council that the same high
quality development will occur on the subsequent phases. The existing zoning, which was established for
Areas B through E of Dublin Ranch in 1997, lacks the necessary design standards to ensure that a cohesive
project will be achieved on the project site. The proposed PD amendment will augment and enhance the
existing zoning.
It is anticipated that this project will be developed in multiple phases; therefore, it is important to apply
development standards to all phases of the project to achieve a cohesive project. The PD Amendment for the
project will ensure that all phases of -this development will have a consistent design. Included in the PD
Amendment are twelve (12) guiding principles supplemented with a series of architectural vignettes that
provide specific direction for development of subsequent phases of development on this site (See Ordinance,
Attachment 8 pages 7, 8 and 9).
The Applicant has identified four phases of development as follows: (See Attachment 2, Sheet C.8 for more
details on the phasing plan):
Phase la Total Square Footage: 145,153)
• Major A: Target (approximately 140,000 square feet in
addition to a 6,000 square foot garden center)
• Parking field for Major A
• Entrances to the shopping center (Fallon Road and
Dublin Boulevard)
• Loading docks for Majors A - D
Phase lb
• Parking lot for Majors B - D (this parkirig lot will not
open until completion of Phase 3)
Phase 2 (Total Square Footage: 40,400
• Shops 5 -10 (ranging in size from 3,100 square feet to 12,500 square feet)
• Parking field for Shops 5 -10
Phase 3 Total Square Footage: 126,000)
• Majors B - D (ranging in size from 36,000 square feet to 45,000 square feet)
Map 3: Phasing Map
~ ~-~ (6
Phase 4 Total Square Footage: 67,500) (not a part of the approved SDR)
• Major E (14,800 square feet)
• Shops 1- 4 (ranging in size from 6,200 square feet to 9,600 square feet)
• Pads 1 - 3 (ranging in size from 3,500 square feet to 5,000 square feet)
Phase 4 (which includes. Major E, Shops 1 - 4 and Pads 1 - 3) is not a part of the Site Development Review
that was approved by the Planning Commission on Apri128, 2009 and will be reviewed through a separate
Site Development Review application. The Applicant has chosen to apply for a separate Site Development
Review permit at a later date for Phase 4 because of market conditions and the limited lifespan of a Site
Development Review permit. To assure the same high quality development is approved the final phases of
development and to make this development consistent with other commercial developments in Dublin, the
architectural and landscape design criteria, specific parking standards and list of permitted, conditional and
temporary uses proposed in the proposed Planned Development Amendment will apply to all phases of
development including Phase 4.
Proposed Uses
The PD Amendment to Area C establishes the permitted, conditional and temporary uses of the site. Please
refer to Attachment 8 for a complete list of the proposed permitted, conditionally permitted and temporary
uses for the project site.
Development Standards
The Development Standards listed in the original Development Plan (PA 96-039, City Council Resolution
141-97) are included as Attachment 1. When these Development Standards were prepared over 12 years ago,
the fabric that has become the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area was not yet determined by development. In
the intervening years, many residential and commercial developments have been constructed. The original
Development Standards were nondescript and did not carry any firm direction for developers hoping to
implement a project. The Architectural and Landscape Guidelines will define the Development Standards
for this project in a manner consistent with other similar projects and will assure the final phases of
development are consistent with those approved by the Planning Commission on Apri128, 2009.
The PD Amendment establishes specific parking standards for Fallon Gateway. The specific parking
standards for the PD Amendment are based on the Zoning Ordinance and then adjusted based on recently
approved general commercial developments in Dublin. The parking standazds used for this project were
generally modeled after the parking standards for the Green at Park Place and Waterford, approved by the
Planning Commission on July 22, 2008 and August 1, 2000 respectively. The PD Amendment establishes the
specific parking standards for the entire project site.
The Dublin Ranch Area C Development Standards and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan establishes the
allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the project site as 0.35; therefore, the maximum allowable square
footage for the site is 516,992 square feet. The PD Amendment for Dublin Ranch Area C does not modify
the FAR for the project site. The site plan submitted by the Applicant identifies 19 retail buildings (5 major
tenant spaces and 14 smaller retail buildings) for a total of 379,053 square feet. Due to various development
requirements, including parking and landscaping, it is not feasible to achieve the total maximum square
footage that is permitted on the site pursuant to the existing development- standards without resorting to
structured parking to increase the allowable square footage to the maximum of 516,992. square feet.
General Plan/Specific Plan
~ ~~ia
The proposed amendment to the list of permitted, conditional and temporary uses for Area C is consistent .- ,
with the land use designations of the General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the Fallon Gateway
subarea, which envisioned a mix of regional and community serving retail on the project site. Additionally,
the PD Amendment for Area C is consistent with the Community Design and Sustainability Element and the
project includes design guidelines to create a cohesive and attractive shopping center which is compatible
with development in the neighborhood.
Environmental
The project is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, .which was the subject of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
(SCH # 91103064), certified by the City Council in Resolution No. 51-93 on May 10, 1993 and Addenda
dated May 4, 1994 and August 22, 1994. The General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan EIR is a program EIR,
which anticipated several subsequent actions related to future development in Eastern Dublin. The EIR
identified some impacts of implementation of the General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan that could not be
mitigated. Upon certification of the EIR, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for such
impacts. The City also adopted aMitigation-Monitoring Program, which included numerous measures
intended to reduce impacts from the development of the Eastem Dublin area.
In 1997, a Negative Declaration was approved by the City Council in Resolution No. 140-97 for the Planned
Development Rezoning of Dublin Ranch Areas B-E, which includes the Fallon Gateway site. After
completing an Initial Study, it was determined that the rezoning would not have any significant
environmental impacts which were not already adequately described and analyzed in the Program EIR. The
project as proposed does not exceed the thresholds identified in the Negative Declaration.
No further environmental review is needed because the environmental impacts of this project were fully
addressed and within the scope of the certified General Plan Amendment and the Eastern Dublin Specific.
Plan EIR, and subsequent Addenda, the Statement of Ovemding Considerations, and the 1997 Negative
Declaration, and the proposed project will be subject to the Mitigation-Monitoring Program measures.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
` E ,
In accordance with State law, a.~public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants within 300
feet of the proposed project about the upcoming public hearing. A public notice was also published in the
Valley Times and posted at several locations throughout the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Open the public hearing; 3) Take
testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close the public hearing and deliberate; and 5) Waive the
reading and introduce the Ordinance approving an amendment to the Planned Development district of Dublin
Ran~'h Area;C specifically for the project known as Fallon Gateway Commercial Center located at the
southwest, corner of Dublin Boulevard and Fallon Road in Area C of Dublin Ranch (APN 985-0027-009-03)

Section 1. RECITALS
A. By Ordinance No. 24-97, the City Council rezoned the approximately 452.6 acres known
as the Dublin Ranch Areas B, C, D and E to a Planned Development (PD) Zoning District, which allows
for commercial land uses at the Fallon Gateway project site (PA 08-034), which is a part of the PD
District known as Dublin Ranch Areas B, C, D and E (PA 96-039).
B. This Ordinance amends the Planned Development Zoning to establish architectural and
landscape design criteria, specific parking standards and the permitted, conditional and temporary uses for
the Fallon Gateway project site (PA 08-034), which is a part of the PD District known as Dublin Ranch
Areas B, C, D and E (PA 96-039).
Section 2. FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Planned Development amendment for the PD District known as Dublin Ranch Area C,
specifically for the Fallon Gateway project (PA 08-034) meets the purpose and intent of Chapter
8.32 in that it provides a comprehensive development plan that is tailored to the commercial land
uses proposed on the Project site and creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to
surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design, which is in close proximity to Dublin
Boulevard and the I-580 freeway.
2. The proposed amendment will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential
development in surrounding areas because: 1) the land uses and site plan establish a commercial
development (retail shopping center); 2) the proposed project is consistent with the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan and the PD District of Dublin Ranch Areas B- E; 3) the project site
includes attractive landscaping and site elements including a location for public art, light
fixtures, benches, plazas and pedestrian paths to create an attractive landscape palette and
material palette for the shopping center; and 4) the Planned Development amendment includes
design guidelines to create an attractive shopping center which is compatible with the
surrounding developments.

is consistent with the FAR established in the Rezoning of Dublin Ranch Areas B through E
and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; 2) the proposed project will include retail and office uses
which is consistent with the land use designations of General Commercial land use; and 3) as
amended, the Planned Development rezone will permit a maximum of 516,992 square feet of
retail floor area which will maintain a FAR of up to .35 and will therefore be consistent with
the PD District of Dublin Ranch Areas B-E and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and 4) the
amended zoning for the Fallon Gateway project has been designed to accommodate the
topography of the Project site which typically is characterized as vacant, flat land suitable for
the development of a shopping center and therefore physically suitable for the type and
intensity of the proposed amendment to Dublin Ranch Area C.
3. The amendment to the PD District of Dublin Ranch Area C will not adversely affect the health
or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare because the Project will comply with all applicable development regulations
and standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures.

zoning ordinance; 2) the proposed amendments to the list of permitted, conditional and
temporary uses are consistent with the land use designations of the General Plan, the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan and the Fallon Gateway subarea which envisions a mix of regional and
community serving retail on the project site; 3) the proposed amendment is compatible with
the intent of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for the Fallon Gateway subarea and the PD
District of Dublin Ranch Areas B - E; and 4) the amended PD for Area C includes design
guidelines to create a cohesive and attractive shopping center which is compatible with
development in the neighborhood.
C. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The project is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, which was the subject of
an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan (SCH # 91103064), certified by City Council Resolution 51-93 on May 10,
1993, with two addenda approved on May 4, 1994 and August 22, 1994. In 1997, a Negative

Declaration for the Planned Development Rezoning of Dublin Ranch Areas B-E, which
includes the Fallon Gateway site, was approved by Resolution No. 140-97 of the City Council.
After completion of an Initial Study, it was determined that the rezoning would not have
significant environmental impacts which were not already adequately described and analyzed
in the Program EIR. No further environmental review is needed for the Fallon Gateway project
because the environmental impacts of this project were fully addressed and within the scope of
the final EIR for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan and subsequent
Addenda and the 1997 Negative Declaration and the project has been conditioned to comply
with all mitigation measures adopted therein.
