Planned Development Zoning meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it
provides a comprehensive development plan that is tailored to the high density residential
and ancillary 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 elose proximity to mass transit.
2. Development of Dublin Transit Center Site B-2 (Avalon Bay Communities, Inc.) under the
Planned Development Zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and futurc
development in the surrounding area in that the land uses and site plan establish a high
density residential apartment community with ancillary commercial uses, on-site
amenities, and affordable units in compliance with Master Development Agreement
adopted by OrdinarJcc 5-03 in May 2003. The land uscs and site plan provide effective
transitions to surrounding dcvelopment which is characterized by the proposed vehicular
and pedestrian circulation system.
Pursuant to Section 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
I. The Stage 2 Development Plan for Dublin Transit Cenier B-2 (Avalon Bay Communities,

the north-south driveway to the west, and the street abutting the Village Green to the south.
Based on recommendations from a parking analysis conducted for the project (see Omni-
Means dated January I, 2003), the amount of ground level commercial parking and
residential guest parking will vary during the peak hours of the day. Therefore, a shared
parking program will be employed which results in varying percentages and the
redesignation of spaces throughout the day and evening for commercial customers and
rcsidential guests. The standards are described as follows:
5
PD. Planned Development Zoning District

the structure will be designatcd for residential b'llest parking.
Commereial Parking/Loading
· During the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., commercial customer parking will bc located
on the surrounding streets.
· Nine of the 47 ground floor spaces in the parking structure will be designated as
employce parking with a time limit beyond 2 hours. If additional employee parking
is necessary (exceeding thc 9 designated spaces), the project management will issue
controlled parking permits allowing employees to park for longer than 2 hours in any
of the public spaces located in the b'llest parking area of the structure, on Iron Horse
Parkway, or along the Village Green.
· Two street side parallel parking spaces on Iron Horse Parkway will be designated as a

Plans prepared by The Guzzardo Partnership Inc., dated October 25, 2004, referred to as
Project Plans labeled Exhibit A of Attachment 2 to the January 4, 2005 City Council Agenda
Statement, stamped approved and on file in the Planning Department. The minimum number
of parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with Section 8 above.
10. Site Plan and Architecture
This Development Plan applies to approximately ±3.57 nct acres on the southwest corner of
Dublin Boulevard and Iron Horse Parkway. The site slopes approximately 5 feet rrom north
to south. However, all residential finish floors will be at the same elevation throughout the
building. The project is comprised of residential uses with ancillary or neighborhood-serving
commercial uses:
6
lit 3f;
i'D, Plunm:d Development Zl.Jnin~ District
PA 03-058 Dublin Tmnsil Center Site B-2
Residential: A maximum of 308 residential apartments would be built within as-story
structure (the project plans dated October 25, 2004 proposes 305 units). So as to prevent the
parking structure from becoming a focal element, the building sections are linked together
architecturally to wrap the six levels of structured parking. A 4-story row of 10 townhouses
faces the Village Green at the south end of the project. Exterior decks along the rear portion
of these units overlook one of two common area landscaped exterior recreational courtyards.
The site layout provides for 2 large courtyards enclosed on all 4 sides by the residential units
and open to the sky. The northerly courtyard serves as the rront yard to the open patio spaces
as well as opportunities for recreation, It includes an outdoor "cucina" or barbecue arca, an
exterior Bocce Ball court, and two landscaped spaces with opportunities for passivc
activities. The southerly courtyard includes the pool, spa, and connections to the fitness
center and clubhouse for exclusivc use by the residents,
Both courtyards inelude shrub planting for serecning and framing of architectural elements
and trees to provide a human seale. Attached to the parking structure and facing one of the
courtyards, the main building lobby, pool courtyard, and enclosed residential recreational
spaces (elubhouse and fitness arca) would be accessed trom a ground level entrance porta1
along Iron Horse Parkway. Pedestrian access is provided via portals on all sides of the
building.
With the exception of the Dublin Boulevard frontage, ground levcl units along the building
perimeter will be provided with stoop entries elevated trom 1 to 5 fcct above the public way
and tied directly to the sidewalk. They would be screened from the public way with
landscaping or set back and separated rrom the public way by rront courtyards,
The units facing the courtyard with the pool will be elevated approximately 2' -6" feet above
the courtyard to create an effective buffer between those uses. Courtyards with passive
recreational opportunities will be located approximately 6" to 1'-0" below the rcsidential
finish floor elevations. All of the units will have balconies, decks, or patios.
Ancillarv Commercial: Approximately 15,389 square feet of ancillary, neighborhood-
serving commercial uses are allowed for development at the ground level along Iron Horse
Parkway on the east side of the proj ect. This space will inelude the leasing office for the
residential portion of the project. Residents and guests will have access to the Icasing office
from either the public way, rrom the pool courtyard, or rrom the ground-level parking garage.
Access to the retail areas will be rrom the public way, or from the ground-level parking
garage.
Parking Structure: A six-level parking structure will be located in the center of the project
and wrapped by the residential units so that it is hidden on all four sides, Half ofthc ground
level will be at grade at one end of the project and subterranean at the other end. The sixth
level will be roof deck parking with railings at car height and pre-fabricated car ports.
Residents wi1l havc direct access to the parking structure rrom residential corridors at levels I
through 5 of the building. The corridor adjacent to the parking garage will be separatcd rrom
the parking garage by a sound-attenuating fire wall. Vehicular acecss to the parking structurc
will be rrom Iron Horse Parkway and the north-south driveway along the westerly side of the

site, Spaces assigned for gllest and commercial use will be subject to a shared parking
arrangement discussed below.
The site layout and architectural design of this project will bc consistent with the urban
lifestyle and character of mixed uses planned for the Dublin Transit Center. The detailing of
the retail storefronts, townhouse stoops, and urban landscape will accentuate enhanced
pedestrian circulation and scale of this area. Attention has been paid to the massing of the
building to reflect the image depicted in conceptual skctches found in the Stage 1
DcveIopment Plan.
The architectllral style is described by the project proponent as "Spanish Mission" with
detailing reflective of styles that are prevalent in the City of Dublin. Exterior articulation and
color palette area aimed at minimi:Óng visual mass and seale. Roof lines are low-pitched hip
roofs with concrete mission tiles. This material also is used on canopy or shed roof covers
over townhOllse stoops and some retail entrances. Exterior materials ineIude cast stone
veneer along the base and entries. Scored plaster and painted stucco finishes are uscd on the
upper stories.
The project has two main entries and several secondary entries, An entry courtyard marked
by a pedestrian portal and low staircase is located on the Dublin Boulevard frontage. The
main lobby entrance is accessed from Iron Horse Parkway. Secondary entrance portals
leading to internal courtyards, corridors and/or elevator and stair platforms are positioned on
other sides or ends of the building. As with the primary entrance portals, the secondary
entrance portals would bc demarcated by archways of cast stone vencer elearly visible from
public way.
See attached plans and building elevations prepared by GGLO, dated received October 25,
2004, and Landscape Plans prepared by The Guzzardo Partnership Inc., dated October 25,
2004, referred to as Project Plans labeled Exhibit A of Attachment 2 to the January 4, 2005
City CounciJ Agenda Statement, stamped approved and on file in the Planning Department.
Any modifications to the project shall be substantially consistent with these plans and of
equal or superior materials and design quality,
11. Preliminary Landscape Plan
The landscape plan reinforces the llrban design intent by creating a pedestrian oriented
perimeter with generous sidewalks, street tree planting, and enhanced paving patterns at key
elements. Foreground planting frames the front cntry stoops and anchors the privacy wall
along Dublin Boulevard. This wall is reflected in the portal walls on the north-south
driveway. The European plaza concept is realized on the north-south driveway with the
inelusion of special paving patterns and pedestrian sealed street trees and pole lights. The
Villagc Green will be developed as part of this project in response to the need for public open
space as stated in the Stage I Development Plan.
The Village Green provides open spacc to serve the Transit Center community with room for
active play, gardens, and seating areas. The Village Green is linked to the north-south
driveway and Iron Horse Parkway via pedestrian paving patterns and plazas flankcd by
