In September 2005, the Planning Commission was
presented with the project known as Sorrento at Dublin
Ranch Area F East and Area F West (PA 04-042) south
of Gleason Drive. The' 124.8 acre combined area
generally is located south of the extension of Gleason
Drive, north of the extension of Central Parkway, east
of the extension of Brannigan Street, and west of the
extension of Lockhart Street and proposed community
sports park. Area F East (approximately 71.227 acres)
and Area F West (approximately 36.4 acres) are
separated by the extension of Grafton Street.
A total of 1,112 units of Medium Density residential use
was approved for all ten Neighborhoods (1 through 10)
within the combined area under P A 04-042. Residential
density for the 10 neighborhoods combined was
approved at 10.58 dwelling units per acre. The 694
units approved for Sorrento East at Dublin Ranch are
included in Neighborhoods 6 through 10 between
Grafton Street and Lockhart Street as shown on the vicinity map above. A Development Agreement for
the 418-unit Sorrento West at Dublin Ranch, which includes Neighborhoods 1 through 5, was approved
by the City Council on January 17, 2006 (Ordinance 2-06). Sorrento West at Dublin Ranch is currently
under construction.

The project site (Sorrento East) is presently vacant, with rolling hills of non-native grass and barren of
trees. Formerly it was used for dry land farming and livestock grazing. Rough grading occurred in July of
2005. As with most of the land in eastern Dublin, the project site slopes from the north and northeast to
. the south and southwest with a grade differential or change in topographic elevation from the northerly
boundary to the southerly boundary. The proposed extension of Grafton Street, beginning at the northwest
comer of Area F East, falls approximately 65 feet from Gleason Drive on the north to Central Parkway on
the south.
The design concept proposed by the Applicant is reflective of an Italian hill town where the architecture
and structures conform to the contours of the hillside. The proposed configuration creates opportunities
for minimizing the necessity for overgrading and extensive use of retaining walls.
Sorrento East at Dublin Ranch generally is proposed to be developed as follows:

The area within the Sorrento East has been included in two prior Development Agreements. The Master
Development Agreement between the City and the Lin Family (property owner) for the Dublin Ranch
Page 2 of6
Project (Areas A, B, C, D, E, F, G & H) was approved by the City Council on June 29, 1999. A
Supplemental Development Agreement between the City and the Lin Family for Dublin Ranch Project
(Areas F, G & H) was approved by the City Council on April 18, 2000.
Planning actions that preceded the Stage 2 Planned Development Plan, SDR and Tentative Map approvals
included the following:
P A 98-038, adopted in February 2000, by City Council under Ordinance No. 6-00, provided early
planning for Area F in terms of zoning and land use. Current approvals for the development of Area F
began with PA 01-037 presented to the Planning Commission and City Council in March and April 2004.
PA 01-037, included: I) a number of land use changes under the General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan; 2) new Stage 1 Planned Development (PD) zoning for the entire 285.4 acres within Area F
(including the area north of Gleason Drive); and 3) a number of actions related to Neighborhoods Fl & F2
in Area F North (both north of Gleason Drive).

No. 07-44 (Attachment 2), recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving the
proposed Development Agreement.
Page 3 of6
ANALYSIS:
Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) require a Development Agreement between the
Developer and the City. California Government Code gg 65864 et seq. and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin
Municipal Code (hereafter "Chapter 8.56") authorize the City to enter into an agreement for the
development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order
to obtain certain commitments and establish certain development rights for the property. The
Development Agreement must be approved prior to recordation of the final Tract Map and issuance of
building permits for the development of the property.
Development Agreements are approved by an ordinance of the City Council upon recommendation by the
Planning Commission. A Development Agreement for Sorrento East at Dublin Ranch (Dublin Ranch
Area F East) was not included in the items presented to the Planning Commission or the City Council at
the time of the public hearing for the requested project approvals. Attachment 1 is a draft Planning
Commission Resolution recommending City Council approval of. the proposed Development Agreement.
The proposed Development Agreement (Attachment 1 to Exhibit A) was drafted with input from City
Staff, the project Applicant, property owner, and the City Attorney based on the standard Development
Agreement prepared by the City Attorney and adopted by the City Council for projects located within the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area.
The Development Agreement provides security to the developer that the City will not change its zoning
and other laws applicable to the project for a period of five years. The City also benefits from entering
into the Development Agreement with the property owner. This document is a contract that establishes
obligations for meeting the goals of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and guarantees timing for
construction of public infrastructure and facilities for the project area. Additionally, it ensures that
dedications of property and easements are made, project phasing is followed, the appropriate fees are paid
for the development, and any additional terms of the agreement are carried out as development proceeds.
The proposed Development Agreement also would be consistent with the preceding development
agreements.
In return, the Developer agrees to comply with the Conditions of Approval and, in some cases, make
commitments for which the City might otherwise have no authority to compel the Developers to perform.
Specifically, the Development Agreement augments the City's standard development regulations; defines
the precise financial responsibilities of the developer; ensures timely provision of adequate public
facilities for each project; and provides terms for the Developer to advance funds for specific facilities
which have community or area-wide benefit or for reimbursement from future development, as
appropriate. Since the Development Agreement runs with the land, the rights thereunder can be assigned.
Specifically, Section 17 of the Development Agreement would delegate authority for approval of such
requests for transfer or assignment to the City Manager.
There is one unique feature to this Development Agreement. To ensure that the neighborhood recreation
complexes would be operating when a majority of residents occupied their units, a condition was placed
on the project that the second recreation complex (the one in Sorrento East) was to be "completed and
open prior to the occupancy permit for the 400th unit within Tracts 7652 - 7656 (Neighborhoods 6-10)
(See Item (iv), Page 4 of 7 of Development Agreement, [Attachment 1, of Exhibit A]. However,
Neighborhood 10 is the only Neighborhood that has its own recreation facility, including a swimming
pool and it is also the farthest removed from the Sorrento East Recreation Complex. It was not appropriate
to hold up building and occupancy permits when all the recreation amenities are included within
Neighborhood 10. This Development Agreement modifies that condition and allows the City to issue
~uilding permits within Neighborhood 10 before tl:e complete application for the Sorrento East
Recreation Complex is submitted for building plan check.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In 1993, the City Council certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Dublin's General Plan
Eastern Extended Planning Area and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, including revisions to Part I of
the Responses to Comments relating to the Kit Fox, Addendum to the DEIR dated May 4, 1993, and a
DKS Associates Traffic Study dated December 15, 1992 (SCH#91l03064); collectively these documents
comprise the "Eastern Dublin EIR." The Eastern Dublin EIR is a program' EIR, which anticipated
numerous subsequent actions related to future development; it also identified some impacts resulting from
implementation that could not be mitigated. Upon certification of the EIR, the City adopted a statement of
overriding considerations for such impacts and a mitigation-monitoring program.
In 1997, the City Council approved a Negative Declaration (Resolution 140-97) which addressed an area
of approximately 453 acres in Dublin Ranch Areas B through E, including a variety of residential and
non-residential uses, as well as a community park of approximately 42 acres. For the portions of the
project within Area F, the City approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration on February 15,2000 through
Resolution 34-00 which included approximately 147 acres from other areas within Dublin Ranch, and
proposed to relocate the residential and commercial uses of the proposed Village Center south to Dublin
Ranch Area G.
On March 16,2004, an EIR Addendum was certified by City Council Resolution No. 43-04 pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. The Addendum related to PA 01-037 addressed the following: a)
General Plan Land Use Amendment; b) Eastern Area Specific Plan amendment; c) Vesting Tentative
Tract Map Nos. 7281, 7282, and 7283; and d) the Site Development Review proposed. The Addendum
also included an updated traffic study. At that time it was determined that the project would cause no
environmental impacts beyond those previously identified in the Eastern Dublin EIR, the Negative
Declaration approved in 1997, and the subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration approved in 2000.
Also, in conjunction with the Addendum prepared in 2004, the property owner has since obtained permits
from state and federal agencies for alteration of wetlands and has implemented related offsite mitigation.
Page 5 of6
A determination has been made for the project proposed under application PA 04-042 that it has been
adequately addressed in the 2004 EIR Addendum and would cause no environmental impacts beyond
those previously identified and addressed.
CONCLUSION:
The Development Agreement will implement the provisions of the Planned Development zoning for
Sorrento East at Dublin Ranch (Dublin Ranch Area F East), the Stage 2 Development Plan, and
Conditions of Approval of Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7651 and the five neighborhood Vesting
Tentative Tract Maps previously approved (Nos. 7652, 7653, 7654, 7655 & 7656). It also is consistent
with the terms and conditions established in the preceding Development Agreements associated with this
property and updates certain provisions, as needed, based on the most current project approvals.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Open the public hearing; 2) Receive Staff presentation and
take testimony from the Applicant and the Public; 3) Close the Public Hearing and deliberate; and 4)
Waive the reading and introduce an Ordinance (Attachment 1) approving a Development Agreement
between the City of Dublin and SR Structured Lot Options I, LLC (the Development Agreement is
Exhibit A of Attachment 1).
