DESCRIPTION:
Original Clubhouse and Cart Facility:
The original clubhouse and cart facilities were approved by the Planning Commission on July 25, 2000 as
part of Site Development Review for PA 99-060, Dublin Ranch Area A. The golf clubhouse is located
next at the south'east comer of Fallon Road and Signal Hill Drive. These buildings and the golf course
itself set the theme for Area A as an upscale residential community. The original clubhouse was 11,115
square feet in size and included a dining area, banquet facility, lounge, golf shop, and administrative
offices. The building was designed based on the Shingle Style with large sloping roofs, dormers, Dutch
Gambrel gable roof ends, column supported eaves creating arcade and terrace areas, detailed windows and
doors with a porte cochere over the entry driveway.
The attached cart facility was 7,885 square feet in size, and is designed as a partner to the Club House
with all the same materials and design detail. The side of the building where the golf carts enter and exit
includes a row of overhead doors set below a broad overhang and behind a row of arched topped columns
(the two buildings total of 19,000 square feet). The two buildings are linked across a central courtyard
providing access between structures. At the time of the original proposal, discussion with the applicant
centered around the fact that the Dublin Ranch Golf Course was to be a focal point for the City and that
the Clubhouse was going to be a premier structure that would have the capabilities for hosting large scale
functions such as weddings and tournaments.
1st modification to Clubhouse and Cart Facility:
The Applicant submitted a modified clubhouse and cart facility to Planning Staff and stated that the
revisions to the structure were necessary to reflect the changed facility program and operations. The
proposed modification to the clubhouse and cart facility would reduce the combined area of these two
structures by approximately 30% with the clubhouse reduced to approximately 8,075 square feet and the
cart barn reduced to approximately 5,100 square feet, for a total building area of 13,174 square feet.
The Planning Commission, at its meeting of July 23, 2002, reviewed the proposed modifications to the
previously approved Golf Clubhouse and Cart Barn for Dublin Ranch, Area A. At that meeting of July
23, 2002, considerable discussion ensued regarding the various changes proposed by the applicant. The
minutes of that Planning Commission meeting are attached for review (Attachments 4 and 5). The major
focus of the Planning Commissioners' comments dealt with the reduction in the mass of the structure and
the resulting loss of square footage dedicated to banquet/public events and the amount of square footage
dedicated to administration office space. The Planning Commission requested that the applicant revise the
changes to incorporate their concerns.
2na modification to Clubhouse and Cart Facility:
Based upon the Planning Commission's concerns presented at the July 23, 2002, meeting, the applicant
revised their floor plan to expand the restaurant facility from 2,100 square feet to 2,300 square feet to
allow for 174 seats in a maximum dining configuration, moved the bar, made it smaller and created an
area for bar patrons to access food without encroaching on the main dining room in the event that a special
party was using the main dining facility. The applicant also provided a floor plan of a potential expansion
to allow for a banquet room of 2,850 square feet and an additional 192 seats. Detailed architectural
elevations were also provided to show what the potential expansion would look like. The applicant has
indicated that the large amount office area square footage, as proposed, is necessary to mn both the Golf
Course and Dublin Ranch.
Appeal
On August 15, 2002, Mayor Lockhart filed a written appeal of the Planning Commission's decision (Refer
to Attachment 6 for a copy of the appeal letter). When a member of the City Council files an appeal, it is
presumed that the reason for the appeal is that the appealed action has a significant and material effect on
the quality of life within the City of Dublin (Section 8.136.040(B.2) of Dublin Municipal Code).
3ra modification to Clubhouse and Cart Facility:
The applicant has made additional modifications to the approved Planning Commission project, to more
closely reflect the original design, Attachment 7 presents those changes. In summary, the applicant has
reinstated the porte-cochere at the front of the structure, provided a Dutch Gambrel porch cover along the
east side of the building and two significant Dutch Gambrel bay window elements along the southern
elevation facing the 18th green of the golf course. While the applicant has not proposed to increase the
building footprint, the introduction of the bay windows, porte-cochere and porch cover, all contribute to a
highly embellished building. The original approval had a larger roof massing, however, that would be
difficult to achieve due to the revised width of the building. Attempting a change in design to increase the
roof mass similar to the original approval would undoubtedly create an ungainly and top-heavy structure.
The roof proposed is in keeping with the scale of the revised structure.
ISSUES:
The revision before the City Council more closely mirrors the original approval, albeit on a smaller scale,
by reintroducing various design elements that were a part of the original approval.
Under the City Zoning Ordinance, the City Council may affirm, affirm in part, or reverse the action of the
Planning Commission, based upon findings of fact. Findings shall identify the reasons for the action on
the appeal, and verify the compliance or non-compliance of the subject of the appeal with the provisions
of the Appeals Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council may adopt additional conditions of
approval that address the specific subject of the appeal.
The City Council may continue this matter, but must take action within 75 days of the date the appeal was
filed (75 days from August 15, 2002is October 29, 2002), pursuant to Section 8.136.060 A of the Dublin
Municipal Code. Additionally, because the appeal was filed by a member of the City Council, the
Council may consider any issue concerning the application.
CONCLUSION:
The Clubhouse building represents a significant visual resource for the golf course as well as an
enhancement to the recreational amenities in Dublin and based upon the Planning Commission Staff
Report and Draft Minutes for the July 23, 2002 and August 13, 2002, public hearing, Staff recommends
that the City Council, evaluate the appeal and affirm the Planning Commission Approval of August 13,
2002. Alternatively, the City Council may do the following: (1) affirm the Planning Commission
Approval of August 13, 2002, with modifications or additional conditions as directed by the City Council
or (2) reverse the Planning Commission Decision thereby denying the Site Development Review
amendment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, d¢liberate, and adopt the resolution
affirming the Planning Commission Approval of AugUst 13, 2002. Alternatively, the City Council may
choose one o£the following options:
A Affirm the Planning Commission Approval of August 13, 2002, with modifications;
B Adopt Resolution (Attachment 9) reversing the Planning Commission Decision of August 13,
2002, to amend the Site Development Review.
If the 'City Council selects option A, the Council should indicate the reasons for its action by a "straw
vote". Staffwill then return at the following City Council meeting with a resolution for formal adoption.

DESCRIPTION:
The Applicant is proposing revisions to the Site Development Review approval of PA 99-060 and Master
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7135 which would involve only the proposed Dublin Ranch Golf Course
Clubhouse and Cart Barn. The approved Clubhouse and Cart Barn serve a 193-acre, 18~hole golf course
located within Dublin Ranch Area A. No changes are proposed to the site and location or placement of
the structure. However, the building has been modified to more closely reflect the revised building
program developed by the project applicant. This revised program involves modifications to the floor plan
and elevations.
The proposed revisions to the Site Development Review would remove the courtyard area between the
clubhouse and the cart barn and join them as one structure. Also the floor area of both uses would be
reduced. Areas of the clubhouse for occupancy/assembly activities associated with the serving of food
(such as banquet space) have been scaled back or removed, and the remaining area has been redistributed
for administrative or operational space. The applicant has indicated an area where the banquet portion of
the facility could be expanded in the future if warranted.
As with the original approval of the Site Development Review, the site of the proposed structure is in the
COPIES TO: Applicant
Prop,~u Owner

Proj
same location as the previously prOposed facility which is at the southeast comer of Fallon Road and
Signal Hill Drive. The primary point of access will be off of Signal Hill Drive just east of the intersection
with Fallon Road. There are no proposed changes to the parking area and the amount of parking stalls are
not being decreased to allow for the square footage reduction in the building foot print. The building will
be situated approximately 100 feet in from Fallon Road. Currently the site is currently vacant with no
structUres, however the area has been graded to form the golf coUrse and Fallon Road has been
constructed.
.BACKGROUND:
On July 25, 2000, the Planning Commission approved a series of actions for Dublin Ranch Area A.
Those approvals included:
· PA 99-060 establishing the Planned Community zoning and development standards;
· a series of Vesting Tentative Tract maps (including Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7135
which provides the site for the proposed structures); the others approved at that time were
Tentative Vesting Tract Maps 7136 through 7140, and
· the Site Development Reviews (SDR) for a number of structures related to the Dublin Ranch Area
A Planned Community and recreation elements, including: the Golf Course and landscaping, the
Golf Course Clubhouse/Cart Barn, parking areas, Golf Course Maintenance Facility, Community
Center/Recreation Center, Restrooms/Rest Stops, Golf Cart Bridge, and Entry Gate.
On February 26, 2002, SOme of the conditions of approval were reassigned from Master Tentative
Vesting Tract Map 7135 to the other tentative tract maps approved concurrently in order to finalize the
master map and commence construction of the golf course.
The Site Development Review initially approved the Golf Course Clubhouse and Cart Barn as two
structures joined by a courtyard for a total of approximately 19,000 sr. The uses were divided into: (a) a
11,115 sf clubhouse(with dining area and banquet rooms), and (b) a 7,885 sf cart barn.
ANALYSIS: SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
The Applicant has stated that the revisions to the structure are necessary to reflect the currently proposed
facility program and operations which have changed since the original submittal. The revisions would
allow reducing the combined area of these two structures by approximately 30% with the Clubhouse
reduced to approximately 8,075 sf and the Cart Barn reduced to approximately 5,100 sf for a total building
area of 13,174 sr.
The building and adjacent site area to the east, have been designed to allow approximately 2,700 sfof
banquet facility area to be added at a later date. As the applicant has not proposed to revise the parking
layout or the number of parking stalls, there will be significantly more parking stalls than necessary for the
new proposed structure and any future expansion. These revisions do not include the future addition of
the banquet space as the architectural elevations for the possible expansion are unknown at this time but
are anticipated to be an extension of the existing architecture as the expansion space would be joined to
the main building.
The revised elevations and exterior of the structure would remain consistent with the over all architectural
design theme approved with the original Site Development Review. As with the original approval, the
structure has retained the rural scale and barn or ranch elements including: the sloping shingled roofs,
'shingled siding, stone veneer wainscoting, wood-trimmed windows and doors, and piers supporting
columned arcades or terraces in areas adjacent to the structure. Roof elements (although scaled back in
some detail and number but in keeping with the scale of the revised structure) would continue to include
2
decorative features such as: Dutch gambrel gable ends, dormers, weather vane, cupola, and roof
latticework. Access to the cart barn has been scaled back from a row of distinctive barn doors on the
south side of the structure to a single entrance on each of the north and west sides.
Paving materials, parking lot design (including lighting), and landscape standards (with attention to native
and/or drought-tolerant plantings) will remain as originally approved.
The proposed revision will be in keeping with the rest room buildings, on-site pump stations and the
DSRSD pump station already constructed.
In general', the modifications would continue with the the'me elements and style used to tie together the
structures within the development scheme approved with PA 99-060. The proposed revisions to the
revised floor plan and elevation design are consistent with the objectives and quality displayed with the
original approval in terms of style, materials, and decoration. The revisions would not diminish or detract
from presenting the image of Dublin Ranch Area A as an upscale residential community.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Dublin Ranch Area A, including the proposed golf course, is located within The Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan adopted in 1994 along with a certified Program EIR (SCH No. 91-103064). The City of Dublin, as
the Lead Agency, also has prepared focused Initial Studies and a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this
part of Area A. The revised/amended Site Development Review proposed for the Golf Course Clubhouse
and attached Cart Barn do not represent a significant deviation from the approved project, and no new
impacts or issues were identified as a part of the review. There would be no change to any of the
Mitigation Measures in the Program EIR or subsequent Mitigated Negative Declarations adopted as a part
of the Eastern Dublin Specific Ptan and PA 99-060.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would generally review a change 'Such as this and if it were deemed consistent, the Director of
Community Development would approve the revision as a Site Development Review Waiver to the
previously approved Site Development Review. However, as the Clubhouse building represents a
significant visual resource for the golf course as well as an enhancement to the recreational amenities in
Dublin, it was felt that the Planning Commission should have an opportunity to review this proposed
revision.
Based upon the applicant's revised development program for the Clubhouse, the architectural elevations of
the structure closely approximate those previously approved. Staff cannot find any way to significantly
alter this structure to more closely mirror the Previous structure given the reduction of the square footage
as dictated by the applicant's revised program. The proposed revision to the Clubhouse would, therefore,
be determined to be consistent with the previous approval albeit on a smaller scale with the possibilities
for future expansion.
Should the Planning Commission concur with Staff, the proposed revision would be approved by a Site
Development Review Waiver by Staff and the applicant would proceed with design development drawings
ultimately resulting in the issuance of building permits and construction of the building. In the event that
the Planning Commission has concerns, it would be necessary to direct Staff toward potential changes, at
which point the design for the revisions would need to be returned to the Planning Commission for review
and approval.

Re: Revised SDR Application -
Dublin Ranch Golf Club Clubhouse and Cart Barn
Planning Commission Meeting - July 23, 2002
Dear Mike:
ATI Architects and Engineers will be delivering to you twelve sets of plans (floor
plan, revised site plan, composite plan showing previous and current building footprints
and new building elevations) as well as a memorandum summarizing the architectural
changes and square footage breakdowns for the building, for the' Planni_ng Commission
hearing on the above-captioned matter. We will also prepare a new color and materials
board for the Planning Commission meeting.
The purpose of this co/-~esp0hdence is to transmit the foregoing information and
to summarize our request.
The primary changes to the SDR and the reasons for the same are as follows:
1. The .size and scale of the porte cochere has been reduced so that it will no
longer extend over the driveway. We found the original design to be out of scale in
relationship to the redesigned clubhouse building.
2. The previous design consisted of two buildings (a cart facility and
clubhouse) separated by a courtyard. The building separation was included in the
original design as a way of providing improved access and circulation between the north
and south sides of the building (parking lot and golf club drop to. golf shop and starter
area). Upon further examination of this orientation, it was determined that the site layout
and organization would be greatly enhanced by concentrating golf shop and golf cart
distribution activities on the north side of the building which also resulted in better access
to the first and tenth tees, This eliminates the need to shuttle golf clubs from the golf
club drop area around the building to the south side of the golf staging area. As a..result,
the need for the courtyard has been eliminated,

3. The cart barn itself has been downsized as our analysis determined that the
original design was too large for the facility.
4. Food and beverage facilities have been the subject of on-going analysis by
the Dublin Ranch Golf Club team. Our early designs for the clubhouse did not include a
banquet facility. We subsequently chose to include the facility in anticipation of a
substantial demand for "non-golf related banquet activities". We have continued to
analyze this issue and have determined that-the demand for .non-golf related banquet
facilities cannot be justified at this time. Accordingly, we are proposing to eliminate the
banquet facility but reserve an area to be east of the building for future expansion should
the demand develop. The proposed facility is large enough to accommodate golf related
banquet activities and as we gain more experience with the market in this area we have
the ability to provide temporary outdoor banquet facilities in the area where a future
banquet facility could be constructed.
We have endeavored to incorporate these modifications into a redesign of the cart
and clubhouse faciI/ty while utilizing similar materials and decorative features of the
original design so as to be consistent with the adjacent recreation facility to be
constructed by Toll Brothers.
I will be available for any questions and/or concerns that you might have. I will
be present at the Planning Commission meeting on July 23, 2002 to address any issues
that the Planning Commission might have as well. Please advise if you should require
any additional information.
Very truly yours,

smaller clubhouse building.

BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION:
The Planning Commission, at their meeting of July' 23,2002, reviewed a proposed waiver to an original Site
Development Review for revisions to the previously approved Golf Clubhouse and Cart Barn for Dublin Ranch,
Area A. At that meeting, considerable discussion ensued regarding the various changes proposed by the
applicant. The minutes of that Planfiing Commission meeting are attached for review.
The major focus of the Planning Commissioner's comments appeared to deal with, the reduction in size of the
structure and the elimination of square footage from the floor plan. The following concerns would summarize
the Commissioner's concerns:
1. Reduction of the number of seats in the restaurant facility
2. The inability to accommodate large gatherings in a banquet setting.
,3. The inability to accommodate golfers eating and drinking needs when the restaurant facility was
captured by a scheduled event.
4. The amount of administration office square footage.
The applicant's previously submitted plans did provide for potential expansion space but the Commission
appeared to feel that the initial size of the restaurant was too small and future expansion was not guaranteed.
COPIE~ ~:Q: Applicant
Property Owner

Project Manager
TTACHMENTc ,TEM r o. ?' 5
The applicant stated, in their original request for modification to the structure, that their program and their
research did not dictate the type of structure and square footage that was originally proposed. The applicant's
original proposal in 1999 was for a Site development Review and Vesting Tentative Tract Maps to provide, in
part, for development of an 11,000 square foot Golf Clubhouse with a separate restaurant and a banquet
facility. The seating capacity was shown to be 130 seats for the restaurant and 160 seats for the banquet area.
The Site Development Review additionally included the 18 hole executive golf course, the seven residential
subdivisions, the golf maintenance facility and all of the associated walls, streetscape and landscaping for Area
A of Dublin Ranch. At the time of the original proposal, discussion with applicant centered around the fact
that the Dublin Ranch Golf Course was to be a focal point for the City and that the Clubhouse was going to be
a premier structure that would have the capabilities for hosting large scale functions such as' weddings and
tournaments. The applicant has indicated that their research has shown that a facility, as originally proposed, is
no longer viable and a smaller more compact Clubhouse is more in keeping with their needs.
The proposed clubhouse revisions were detailed in the previous staff report attached hereto.
ANALYSIS:
Based upon the Planning Commission's concerns presented at the July 23, 2002 meeting, the applicant revised
their floor plan to expand their restaurant facility by 2,300 square feet to allow for 174 seats in a maximum
dining configuration, moved the bar, made it smaller and created an area for bar patrons to get fOod without
encroaching on the main dining room in the event that a special party was using the main dining facility. The
applicant has shown a floor plan of a potential expansion to allow for a banquet room of 2,850 square feet and
192 seats. Detailed architectural elevations are also provided to show what the potential expansion would look
like. The applicant has indicated that the large amount office area square footage, as proposed, is necessary to
run both the Golf Course and Dublin Ranch.
CONCLUSIONS:
Staff would generally review a change such as this and if it were deemed consistent, the Director of
Community Development would approve the revision as and amendment to the previously approved Site
Development Review. However, as the Clubhouse building represents a significant visual resource for the
golf course as well as an enhancement to the recreational amenities in Dublin, it was felt that the Planning
Commission should have an opportunity to review this proposed revision. Based upon the applicant's
revised development program for the Clubhouse, the architectural elevations of the building closely
approximate those previously approved. Staff cannot find any way to significantly alter this structure to
more closely mirror the previous structure given the reduction of the square footage as dictated by the
applicant's revised program. The proposed revision to the Clubhouse along with the changes made since
the July 23, 2002 Planning Commission meeting would, therefore, be determined to be consistent with the
previous approval albeit on a smaller scale but with the possibilities for future expansion.
As stated in the previous Staff Report, if the Planning Commission raised concerns they were to direct
Staff as to potential changes and this modification was to be returned to the Planning Commission for their
review and approval. The applicant has revised their program to increase the amount of restaurant
capabilities and has detailed the future expansion space that were both items of concern to the
Commission. This item is therefore before the Planning Commission for their review. Two resolutions are
provided for the Planning Commissions use; one that the Commission may use to approve the project if
you feel that the applicant has addressed your concerns and an alternate resolution that the Commission
may use to deny the project if you do not feel that the Commissions concerns have been addressed.

the smaller clubhouse building.

7.1 Review revisions to the Site Development Review approval for the Dublin Ranch Golf
Course Clubhouse and Cart Barn within Dublin Ranch Area A initially approved on July
25, 2000 as part of PA 99-060 with Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7135 and give Staff
direction.
~annina Commission 150 ~u£y 23, 2002
q~egu~ar gffeeting
Mike Porto, Project Planner, presented the staff report. Mr. Porto gave a brief background about
the project. He stated that the Planning Commission had originally discussed the project under the
Site Development Review for the Dublin Ranch Golf Course. Since the approvaI, the developer is
proposing some changes to the Club House. The developer is scaling down the floor plan for the
facility. Mr. Porto pointed out that the Architect for the developer has submitted a letter describing
the details of the design that was originally approved as well as the design that is being proposed.
The developer is proposing to reduce the square footage from 19,000 to 13,174 (which includes the
cart barn area). The architectural design for the proposed changes is consistent with the original
approved design. Mr. Porto stated that Mr. Inderbitzen representing Dublin Ranch, will explain
the reason for the proposed changes. In conclusion, Mr. Porto stated that the project is being
presented to the Commission for their review and direction. If the Commission does not have any
comments or concerns then Staff would approve this as an SDR Waiver. However, if the
Commission has concerns regarding the design, then Staff needs to be directed Staff to meet with
the Architect and the developer to incorporate the ideas given by the Commission and bring it back
for its approval.
Cm. Johnson asked Mr. Inderbitzen for his presentation.
Mr. Inderbitzen stated that the developer is ready to proceed with the construction of the CIub
House facility for the Golf Course. In reviewing the design of the faciIity, the developer felt that
they would not entertain any non-golf related banquet activity at the facility and hence decided to
reduce the square footage for the facility. However, the facility could still entertain around 130-140
guests for a golf related activity even after the reduction. The second major change is the reduction
in size of the Cart Barn. Mr. Inderbitzen explained that this was a cost efficiency modification.
Cm. Jennings asked if there was any research done that indicated that the Banquet facility was not a
cost efficient proposition. Mr. Inderbitzen said that any non-golf related activity such as weddings
would depend on its demand. He gave examples of the Bridges and the Wente golf courses that
had similar operations as the Dublin Ranch Golf course and stated they have different needs and
demands. He further stated that the restaurant in the clubhouse would have very limited business.
In order to justify the use of the banquet facility, heavy marketing for the banquet hall would be
required and it would also have to deal with local competition.
Cm. Jennings wanted to know that once the facility is operational would someone keep track of the
number of requests that come in for hosting non-golf related activities. Mr. Inderbitzen replied that
the proposed restaurant would be able to serve around 130-140 people and if there were a demand
for a party for 200 people then they would obtain a Temporary Use Permit to host the party outside
Plannin~ Commission 151 July 23, 2002
Regular gdeetin11
on the premises. However, if the demand for such activity increases then the developer intends to
modify the design for the faciIity to accommodate it.
Cm. Johnson voiced his concern for golfers and their inability to eat lunch in case there was an
afternoon wedding and the restaurant was closed for catering. Mr. Inderbitzen responded that
there would be a Pro Shop where the golfers can buy a sandwich and an open area to relax and eat
the sandwich. The Manager for the facility would however need to evaluate the logistics for
operating such activities.
Cm. Fasulkey asked the reason for scaling down the number of carts needed as well as the area for
the cart barn. Mr. Inderbitzen replied that the original plan had extra carts, more than what was
required for an 18-hole game and hence the reduction. Additionally, the area for the cart barn had
some extra storage and aisle space which was unnecessary and hence the reduction of the area.
Cm. Johnson stated that in his opinion the proposed restaurant area was not enough to
accommodate large amount of people. The developer needs to increase the space for capacity
rather than downsizing it.
Mr. Inderbitzen gave reasons in support of the reduction.
There was an extensive discussion regarding the issue of the reduced seating capacity in the
restaurant area as well as the issue of providing alternate seating for the golfers to eat in case the
restaurant is closed for catering for a non-golf related activity. Cm. Johnson, Musser and Fasulkey
were in agreement that the developer should modify the floor plan to accommodate additional
seating. Cm. Fasulkey pointed out that the floor plan shows a large office area, which can be
reduced and included in the restaurant area. Cm. Jennings & Nassar agreed that due to the current
economic situation there might not be a high demand for non-golf related activities. However, if in
the future the management of the course found out a demand for the same then the expansion into
a banquet facility would be justified. In conclusion the direction from the Commission is as
follows:
1. Increase the Seating capacity of the restaurant to accommodate 180-200 guests.
2. Have a facility for golfers to eat and relax when they are not part of a tournament.
3. In order to do the above, developer wiI1 either reconfigure the existing space, or add
some area to the proposed space or reduce some office space.

PUBLIC HEARING
8.1 Continue the Public Heating for PA 02-009 Armstrong Garden Center Specific Plan
Amendment, Site Development Review and Conditional Use Permit to August 13, 2002.
Cm. Johnson asked for the staff report.
Ms. Ram stated that some conditions of approval needed to be resolved with the applicant and
hence the request for continuation. In response to a comment from a neighboring business owner
that the City did not inform them about the continuation, Ms. Ram stated that the City does not
send out notices on continuation of an item due to shortness of time. Continuation usually occur
too close to a meeting to send out notices.
On a motion by Cm. Jennings, seconded by Cm. Fasulkey, and by a vote of 5-0, the Planning
Commission continued the public hearing for Armstrong Garden Center to August 13, 2002.

8.1 PA 02-009 Armstrong Garden Center - San Ramon Road Specific Plan Amendment,

.AFFAC "tt', ENTi
Road Specific Plan to allow retail garden centers in conjunction with a Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Planned Development (PD) Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit and Site
Development Review, and Sign/Site Development Review for an approximately
30,810 square foot retail garden center with'an approximately 6,400 square foot
building and 24,410 square foot outdoor storage and landscaped area on 1.162 acres.
Cm. Musser asked for the staff report. Janet Harbin, Senior Planner presented the staff report and
stated that the applicant is seeking an amendment to the San Ramon Road Specific Plan to add a
Garden Store as a conditional use as welt as an amendment to the circulation System in the plan.
Also associated with the project is a request for Conditional Use Permit and Site Development
Review. Additionally, the applicant is proposing wall signage for the building through a Sign/Site
Development Review. Ms. Harbin gave a presentation describing the proposed site plan for the
project, prOposed accent area, proposed landscaping, proposed planting plan and the elevation for
the project. She also showed the location of the prOposed project in relation to the surrounding
businesses. The applicant is proposing streetscape improvements as is required'by Public Works
Conditions of Approval along Amador Valley Ct. In the area along San Ramon Road, the applicant
is adding landscaping and would enhance the existing landscape. Additionally, the applicant
would also be preserving several existing trees. Ms. Harbin stated that the applicant is providing
33 parking spaces. The site would be short a few parking spaces. They will add 6 spaces in the
Kindercareparking lot out of which 3 would be specifically allocated to be used by Armstrong
Garden Center. Ms. Harbin stated that there is an oak tree in. the parking lot which would take up
at least one parking space. Due to the Heritage Tree Ordinance requirement that any tree beyond
24 inches 'in diameter be preserved, Staff is recommending the preservation of this oak tree, which
is 23 inches in diameter and slightly below the size requirement as it is a good specimen. However,
Staff is also recommending that an Arborist be on-site during construction to inspect the depth of
the roots and to recommend measures to preserve and reduce damage to the oak tree. There may
be a possibility that two or three parking spaces would be lost. If two spaces are lost with
preservation of the tree, there would still be sufficient parking for the use. If three are lost, the
applicant will need to provide an additional space elsewhere. The Arborist in the field will
determine the number lost during site development~ A condition is indudedin the Conditions of
approval addressing this issue.' Ms. Harbin explained the design for the building, color of the
building, color of roof, trelliSes and the proposed fence around the entire property. Ms. Harbin
explained that Michael Perkins, business owner for Sleep Shop, would make a presentation
expressing his concerns regarding the impact on the visibility and access to his business due to the
proposed project. Ms. Harbin explained that the access way into the site currently is just 80 ft from
the intersection. The Public Works' standard distance for an access way from the intersection is 150
ft. for safety reasons.
P[annint? Commission 155 ' Auaust 13, 2002
Regular Meeting
Cm. Fasulkey asked what would the mitigation process be for the parking space taken by the oak ·
tree. Ms. Harbin responded that it would depend on the location of the roots of the tree. However,
Staff spoke to an Arborist who suggested a pervious covering or an underground irrigation system.
The Arborist in the field needs to determine appropriate measures.
Cm. Nassar asked if the 150 ft. clearance for the access way from the intersection was a new zoning
requirement. Ms. Harbin responded that it was a standard requirement by Public Works
department. The new access way would be approximately 240 ft from the intersection. Cm. Nassar
asked about other projects that were less than 150 ft., specifically he wanted to know if the Petco
store access way on Dublin Blvd was less than 150 ft. Ms. Ram stated that the City would like to
keep the access way clearance at 150 ft. which is optimum, but sometimes due to the configuration
of the parcels compromises are made and care is taken to ensure the circulation of the traffic is
smooth. She stated that she has no information about the Petco store access way.
Cm. Jennings asked about the proximity of the access way for the Armstrong Center to the
Kindercare access way. Ms. Harbin responded that it would be fairly close around 48 ft. from CUrb
to curb. She added that the 'Public Works Department did not think it would create any major
problems based on the anticipated volume of traffic from each use,
Cm. Fasulkey asked if there was any thought given to pedestrian access for the C~nter from the San
Ramon side of the road. Ms. Harbin responded that due to security reasons that possibility was not
considered, but the applicant could best address this.
Cm. Musser asked if there was any existing easement between the property owner for the project
site and the business owner of Sleep Shop for the existing access way. Ms. Harbin responded that
there was no recorded easement but the property owner, Mr. Nichandros, has allowed parking
over the years for the potential customers of Sleep Shop.
Cm. Musser stated that the staff report indicates the applicant is requesting a reduction in parking
from the standard requirement and that a parking study was performed. Sin'ce the Commission did
not receive a copy of the Study, can Staff explain the basis for that request? Ms. Harbin responded
that the applicant is requesting a 25% reduction in parking ratio which is allowed under the San
Ramon Road Specific Plan. The Zoning Ordinance for such a use allows 45 parking spaces and
with a 25% reduction, it would require 34 parking spaces. The applicant from its past experience
has found that only 26 to 29 parking spaces were needed at a given time. They have also provided
staff with parking studies prepared for their stores at other locations, which support that number.
The peak usage period was determined to be the weekends when mOst of the spaces are utilized. If
there is a parking problem in the future, then street parking along Amador Valley Ct. may be
~[annin~t Comraisdon 156 a~ultu~t 13, 2002

allowed. Additionally, a shared parking agreement with Kindercare or the surrounding property
owners can be worked out if parking problems result.
Cm. Musser expressed some concerns about the oak tree and the success of its preservation.
Cm. Musser opened the public hearing and asked for the applicant.
Joe Amaral, head of Real EState and Construction for Armstrong Garden Center, spoke on behalf of
Armstrong and said they appreciate the opportunity to be in the City of Dublin. He gave a brief
background about Armstrong and its operations.
Ted Stelzner, Project Architect, stated that he would tsy and answer the questions that were raised
by the Commissioners. He stated that Armstrong would do whatever the Arborist requires them to
do to save the oak tree. He also talked about parking issues and that discussions were held with
Kindercare to share their parking space. The outcome is that Armstrong will be constructing 6
additional parking spaces in the Kindercare area, out of which Armstrong would utilize 3 parking
spaces. He pointed out that the hOurs of Operation for the Garden Center would be from 9:00 a.m
to 5:00 p.m., which would not conflict with the Kindercare operations during their peak periods.
He addressed the issue of access from the street into the Center stating that it raises security issues
since monitoring two entries may be a problem. He also talked about the proposed landscaping for
the project.
Cm. Jermings asked if the design was standard for ali the stores. Mr. Stelzner responded that the
base design is the outcome of a customer focus group and has become a standard feature for all
stores.
Cm. Jennings asked the schedule for delivery. Mr. Stelzner responded that there are 3 to 5
deliveries a day which is spread out throughout the day.
Cm. Musser had a maintenance question for the trellises. Mr. Stelzner explained that the trellises
would be stained semi-transparent every 2 to 3 years.
Cm. Musser wanted to know what Size vehicles were used for delivery. Mr. StelZner responded
that the average size of a delivery vehicle is 35 ft. and the largest truck is 55 ft. The average time
taken to unload is about 25 minutes.
Nina Wixson, resident of 7403 Cronin Circle and the President of the Kildara Homeowners
Association expressed her views on the project. She stated that the residents of the Kildara
~annir~ Commission 157 ~qultust 13, 2002
~,~Ouf-ar ~eetin~t
Association welcome the project. However, she stated that a Stop sign should be placed at the exit
from the parking area for the safety of pedestrians. She also recommended that on-street parking
should not be allowed due to safety issues involved. She further stated that from an aesthetic point
of view, the color of the building should complement the surrounding businesses.
Michael Perkins,' owner and operator of Sleep Shop, made a presentation and expressed his
concerns regarding the project. He had two specific areas of concern: visibility and accessibility.
He explained that these could affect the value of his property tremendously and woUld impact his
business. He was concerned that the 8 ft. fence and 11 ft. trellises would also bury his store. He
stated that consideration should be given to address this issue. The SeCond majOr c°ncern he had
was the accessibility 'issue. He stated that his potential customers would have. to come through the
Armstrong driveway, and hence, he may lose clientele due to the difficulty in accessing the store.
He also Stated that the proposed 8 ft. fence should be reduced to 6 feet, which would give. his store
some visibility. He stated that he had met with Ms. Harbin and later had one meeting with the
representatives of Armstrong and at the time had suggested cutting back the trellises for visibility,
which was not welcomed by them at that time. He suggested another meeting with Armstrong and
.the City to work out some mutual solutions to the issues.
Mr. Stelzner addressed some of the concerns raised by Mr. Perkins. He also stated that the
applicant would try to either reduce the height of the trellis in that corner or remove two of the
corner areas to increase the visibility to his store. He also offered on behalf of Armstrong to place a
directional sign for the Sleep Shop on the Armstrong property.
Cm. Musser expressed concerns regarding the architecture. He pointed out that the architecture for
the surrounding businesses and the residential development is Spanish style with tiled roof, and
hence, having a barn with green roof may not complement the surrounding architecture. Mr.
Stelzner explained that although some of the landscaping proposed and the doors and the window
trimmings fOr the proposed building matches the surrounding architecture, the color of the roof
cannot be changed since it is an integral part of the, design which links with the lighting, trellis,
metal frames and the color of the fence.
Cm. Musser asked Staff if the City could place some kind of sign for Mr. Perkins' store. Ms. Ram
indicated that the City can place a directional sign which would be exempt from the Sign
Ordinance.
Mr. Perkins stated that the offer made by the applicant to cut back the trellis was not discussed with
him preyiously and he welcomes the offer. He stated that he would like to meet with Armstrong
and discuss the issue further. He appreciates the directional sign being proposed.

Cm. Musser closed the public hearing and asked Commissioners for their cOmments.
Cm. Fasulkey expressed his thoughts on the project. He stated he was in favor of the project based
on the modifications that the applicant would be making to accommodate the concerns raised by
Mr. Perkins.
Cm. Nassar shared similar thoughts on the project. He stated that the project wOuld bring value to
the City. He stated he was in favor of the project based on the modifications being proposed by the
applicant to accommodate Mr. Perkins' concerns.
Cm. Jennings agreed that the project would be an asset to the City. She however, suggested that
Staff should ensure that the applicant meets with Mr. Perkins to address some of his concerns
regarding signage and visibility so that Dublin does not lose the long-standing businesses while
accommodating new business. Cm. Jennings also had some concerns regarding the color of the
roof. Since Staff could not segregate the Resolutions for approval Cm. Jennings stated she would
vote against the project.
Cm. Musser stated that although he has some architectural concerns, he is in favor of the project.
Cm. Musser asked for the mOtion. On a motion from Cm. NasSar, seconded by Cm. Fasulkey,

8.3 PA 99-060 Dublin Ranch Area A - Amendment to Site Development Review
approval for the Dublin Ranch Golf Course Clubhouse and Cart Barn within Dublin
Ranch Area A, initially approved on July 25, 2000.
Cm. Musser asked for the staff report. Mike Porto, Project Planner, presented the staff report. He
explained that based on the discussions held on July 23rd Planning Commission meeting whereby
the Commission had several concerns regarding the modified design of the clubhouse, the
applicant has revised the plan by increasing the dining room area to accommodate 174 seats from
140 as previously presented. They also reconfigured the bar area to create a lounge area so that the
patrons using the Golf area had an opportunity for food and beverage if the dinning area was being
utilized for another event. The applicant also created a detailed drawing for future expansion. Mr.
Porto stated that Staff has attached two Resolutions, one approving and one denying the project. If
the Commission did not agree with the modifications presented, they could adopt the Resolution
denying the project.
Marty Inderbitzen, representing Dublin Ranch, commented that with the Proposed modifications,
the clubhouse would now be able to accommodate a large number of people, as much as the
originally proposed banquet facility. With this modification, the clubhouse would now be able to

Porte Cochere of the original design has been reduced. Maintaining the original design of
extending over the driveway would provide for a severely out of scale element in relationship to
the smaller clubhouse building.

WHEREAS, DR Acquisitions I LLC (the Applicant) has requested approval of an amendment
to the Site Development Review approved on July 25, 2000 with PA-00-060 and Final Tract Map 7135
(formerly Master Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7135) specifically for the golf course clubhouse and

area; and
WHEREAS, a complete application for the requested amendment is available and on file in

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did consider an amendment to the original Site
Development Review at their meeting of July 23, 2002; and
WHEREAS, a public heating is not required for Planning Commission approVal of and

set forth.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did approve the proposed amendment to the original
Site development Review; and
WltEREAS, and appeal was filled on August 15, 2002; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT TIlE Dublin City Council does hereby
make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed amendment to the Site
Development Review approved with PA 00-060 and Final Tract Map 7135 for the design of the golf
course clubhouse and attached cart barn:
1. The proposed project is not consistent with the intent of the Site Development
Review Chapter (8.104) of The City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance because the
proposed project is inconsistent with the original approval as to the intended use of'
the property (reduction in floor area limiting the use of the facility).
2. The proposed revision is not in keeping with the original intent of the Dublin Ranch
Golf Clubhouse in that the previous approval provided the ability to have major
?il' ! AOHMEN"r
functions that has been eliminated with the reduction of floor area eliminating the
banquet facility.
3. The required findings to approve the Site Development Review amendment required
by Section 8.104.070 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance cannot be made in the
affmnative because the massing and structural presence of the existing building
provided for a flexible and upscale facility to serve all of the residents of Dublin and
presented a building of visual prominence all of which the building shown in the
proposed amendment does not do.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT TI-IF, Dublin City Council does hereby
deny the amendment to the Site Development Review for PA 99-060 and Final Tract Map 7135,
specific to the golf course clubhouse and attached cart barn.
