PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed project consists of a 93,130 square foot Home Depot EXPO Design Center, the upgrading
of its associated parking lot, landscaping and off-site improvements. The Home Depot EXPO Design
Center is a full-service interior design center with eight designer showrooms under one roof. Three

hundred and eighty surface parking spaces and eight disabled parking spaces are proposed on the
property. Two hundred thirty-three parking spaces are required.
BACKGROUND:
Location/history. The project site area is located in the commercial core of the City of Dublin (APN
941-305-40). Specifically, it is located in the Dublin Place Shopping Center, West of Amador Plaza
Road, South of Amador Valley Boulevard and North of Dublin Boulevard, between the Montgomery
Ward and Target stores. The property has been in use as a shopping center since 1979. Approximately
40,000 square feet of retail buildings between the Montgomery Ward and Target stores were demolished
in 1998.
Approval authority. The Planning Commission transferred original jurisdiction for this project to the
City Council pursuant to Section 8.96.020.C.3, Referral to City Council, of the Zoning Ordinance when
they were informed that members of the City Council desired to have final approval authority. That
section states that "At any point in the project review process the Planning Commission may transfer
original hearing jurisdiction to the City Council at its discretion because of policy implications, unique or
unusual circumstances, or the magnitude of the project."
Planning Commission action. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this project on May
23, 2000. At that hearing the Planning Commission adopted resolutions:
Recommending that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the Mitigated Negative
Declaration; and
Recommending that the City Council approve the Site Development Review.
ANALYSIS:
Consistency with the Downtown Specific Plan, General Plan and Zoning
The project lies within and is consistent with Development Zone 7 of the Downtown Specific Plan, which
allows retail uses. The project is also compatible with the Retail/Office designation of the General Plan
and the C-1 (Retail Commercial) Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance.
Parking
As stated above, the parcel on which the project is located has 380 parking spaces (after 184 spaces are
eliminated by this project) and 233 parking spaces are required. One hundred of the 184 lost spaces are in
the parking field on the West Side of the structure in an area where automobiles are rarely parked. The
traffic analysis and further analysis by Staff indicate that the parking demand for the shopping center is
1,865 spaces. After construction of this project the center will have 1,912 parking spaces for a surplus of
47 parking spaces. The Home Depot EXPO Design Center and the Dublin General Cinemas are located
on the same parcel. The EXPO project requires 233 parking spaces and the Cinema requires 400 parking
spaces for a total of 633 parking spaces. It is anticipated that the peak parking demand for the project will
be weekends during the day. Parking demand for the theater is typically not great during weekend
daytime matinees and should not impact this project. Joint parking agreements between the owners of the
shopping center properties will assure that sufficient parking is available for this project.
2
Circulation/S-Curve
The main roadway entrance to the shopping center is from Dublin Boulevard. A driver enters the
driveway from Dublin Boulevard and drives north to a stop sign and must turn either left or right. The
driver must then drive a short distance and turn either right or left again to go north into the shopping
center. These turning motions slow traffic movement and inhibit the flow of vehicles into the parking lot
of the shopping center. A mitigation measure of the Mitigated Negative Declaration requires that the
internal drive aisle be improved to replace the "T" intersection with a smooth "S" curve. Any new planter
pockets created by the realignment must be landscaped. The developer must notify and gain approval
from the neighboring property owner before initiating any changes to the existing parking fields and must
coordinate all improvements so that convenient and safe access to existing buildings is maintained during
construction. A continuous 6-foot wide sidewalk must be provided from Montgomery Ward to Target to
ensure pedestrian safety.
Archaeology
The site contains no archaeological or historic artifacts on the surface after its use since 1979 as a
shopping center and the demolition of the former retail buildings on the site. There is the possibility that
cultural resources could be buried under the fill that was imported to develop the site. If any prehistoric or
historic artifacts are exposed during excavation and construction a mitigation measure requires that the
Department of Community Development be notified and that work cease immediately until an
archaeologist is consulted to evaluate the significance of the find. Standardized procedures would be
followed to protect any resources as required by State law.
Contaminated soil
A Phase One and Two Environmental Site Assessment was prepared for this project. It determined that
the only potential hazard due to hazardous materials is a low concentration (below Federal standards) of
tricloroethene (TCE) and tetracloroethene (PCE) which were chemicals used by the dry cleaner that
occupied one of the spaces that was demolished on this site. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit for
the project a mitigation measure requires that the developer notify the contractors building the project to
be alert to the potential of encountering contaminated soil during grading operations. If any suspect
material is found, the contractor must notify the firm that prepared the Environmental Site Assessment.
Walkway to north of project
Police Services is concerned that the walkway between the proposed project, Target and the Lighthouse
Bookstore could become a security problem because it is not easily surveilled by the police and security
patrols. A mitigation measure is proposed that would require that gates with panic hardware be installed
to prevent access to this walkway. East-west pedestrian access will be provided by a wide landscaped
walkway between the project and Montgomery Ward.
Landscaping
East of main drive aisle. The preliminary landscape plan shows new trees and tree wells in the
parking field east of the main drive aisle. The developer is requesting authorization to install the
landscaping improvements at a later time when the parking field for the entire shopping center is
upgraded. This would simplify construction, avoid the destruction of newly installed
3
improvements and ensure that the trees would be of the same size and species after the
improvements are complete. A condition of approval allows improvements east of the main drive
aisle to be deferred for up to three years if the Applicant/Developer enters into a Deferred
Improvement Agreement with the City. The agreement would guarantee that the
Applicant/Developer would install the hardscape, irrigation and landscaping improvements for this
area at the time any adjacent property is improved or within three years if no adjacent property is
improved by that time. All improvements would be to the satisfaction of the Director of Public
Works.
West of main drive aisle. The landscaping and irrigation' west of the main drive aisle including
all trees, shrubs, arbors and planting for the arbors must be installed prior to occupancy or use of
the building.
Design
The proposed Home Depot EXPO Design Center is a 93,130 square foot structure. The tower element of
the building will be 45 feet tall and the parapet of the main building will be 32 feet tall. The
accompanying photomontages (Attachment 2) show how the new structure would look adjacent the
existing Montgomery Ward and Target stores. The Montgomery Ward and Target stores are between 28
and 30 feet tall so the proposed structure will be similar in height and bulk to the existing structures.
The proposed structure would be a tilt-up concrete building with cornices, accent scoring, tile medallions,
covered arcades, and landscaped arbors. The building would have a dramatic entrance feature with four
columns a tower element and the EXPO corporate signage. The covered arcades, trees, columns, tower
element, medallions and accent scoring will soften the visual impacts of the large commercial building.
The cornices and panels along the base of the structure will be of a terra cotta color similar to that of the
Montgomery Ward and Target stores. (The cornice on the photomontages is shown as black because the
computer shows all shadows as black.) Any structure built at this site will most likely be similar in size
and bulk to the proposed structure due to the high ground rents. Staff feels that the building is attractive
for a "Big Box" structure and is similar aesthetically to "Big Box" structures in the Hacienda Crossings
shopping center.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
A Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed for this project pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant impact in this case because revisions in the project have been made or agreed to by the project
proponent and because a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be adopted that mitigates any impacts of the
project to a level of insignificance through the adoption of mitigation measures and a Mitigation
Monitoring Program.
CONCLUSION
The applicable City Departments and agencies have reviewed this application, and their comments have
been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. The proposed project is consistent with the
Downtown Specific plan, the General Plan and the C-1 zoning district. Parking for the project is
consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements. The building is well designed and will be an attractive
addition to the Dublin Place Shopping Center.
