FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Arroyo Vista Planned Development Zoning, including aStagel/Stage 2 Development
Plan, meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 because: it provides a comprehensive
development plan that is tailored to the Residential and Public/Semi-Public 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 adjacent to residential development and Dougherty
Road.
2. The PD rezone with Stagel/Stage 2 Development Plan for Arroyo Vista will be harmonious
and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that: 1) the
land uses and Site Plan establish a Residential and Public/Semi-Public development; 2) the
proposed Project is consistent with the type of development, residential, envisioned in the
General Plan, as amended, and also provides space for Public/Semi-Public land uses; 3) the
Project Site has been designed to reduce impacts on the adjacent residential uses and to be
compatible with the residential development in the vicinity; 4) the Development Plan will
provide for housing to meet the City's need for affordable units and will provide a daycare
facility which will provide aSemi-Public facility to meet the needs of the residents in the
vicinity; and 5) the Project has been attractively designed and is compatible with the
neighborhood in which it is located.
B. Pursuant to Section 8.120.OSO.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows:

facility is consistent with the amended General Plan land use designations of Medium/High
Density Residential and Public/Semi-Public; 2) the proposed Project is consistent with the
City's goal of developing Public facilities within the City to meet the needs of the residents; 3)
the residential development will provide affordable and market-rate housing as well as a mix
of housing types which is consistent with the General Plan Land Use and Circulation Element
Goal A and Policy C; 4) the Project proposes efficient and higher intensity use on a relatively
flat site that minimizes grading requirements and potential environmental and aesthetic
resources consistent with General Plan open space policy; 5) consistent with the General Plan

Eden Housing portion of the project will consist of up to 180 affordable rental units ("Rental
Component" of the project).
Family Apartments
The family apartment portion of this Project will have four different building types. Each unit will
have a front porch and a small deck.

Citation Homes Housing
The Citation Homes Central portion of the Project will be located adjacent to Dougherty Road and on
the northern and southern portions of the property. The Citation Homes Central portion of the project
will consist of up to 198 for-sale dwelling units ("For Sale Component"). The attached housing
product is located adjacent to Dougherty Road and on the southern portion of the Site. The Applicants
have proposed to use three different architectural designs: Craftsman, Contemporary American West
and Cape Cod to complement the farmhouse design of the Eden Housing portion of the Project. While
the Citation Homes Central architectural themes are different than the Eden Housing design theme,
the use of an American architectural style will reinforce the connection between the affordable and
market rate portions of the Project.
The front elevation of the single-family detached houses will face a landscaped paseo which is
connected to the street by a sidewalk. The paseo will be landscaped with trees, shrubs and grasses.
The garage to the houses can be accessed via an auto court.
Cape Cod Design
The design of these houses includes details such as gable roofs and covered front porches. Materials
include stucco and horizontal wood siding, with horizontal wood siding comprising most of the
building. Shutters are also used.
Contemporary American West Design
The Contemporary American West elevations incorporate architectural details which are consistent
with this design theme. The use of rustic materials, including board and batten, horizontal wood and
stucco siding will be used. Architectural details include the use of decorative wood trim, window
ledges, attractive window frames, the use of muntins (grids) and shutters. A combination of porticos
and covered porches will be used at the entrances to the units to promote visual interest.
Craftsman Design
Three different versions of the Craftsman design will be used in this Project. The Craftsman design
theme features wood accents, variety of materials and gable roofs. For variety, a combination of
stucco, wood shingle siding and horizontal wood siding will be used on the front elevation. Corbels
and other wood accents, such as ledges, will also be used on this elevation to promote visual interest
and in keeping with the craftsman theme.
Enhanced Side Elevations
In some cases, one of the sides of the house may face the street. When this situation occurs, an
enhanced elevation will be used so that the portion of the house facing the street includes architectural
details for visual interest, rather than a blank wall.

concurrently with the market-rate units (the "concurrent construction requirement"); 2) to reflect the range
of numbers of bedrooms provided in the project as a whole (the "equivalent bedroom requirement"); 3) to
not be distinguished by exterior design, construction, or materials (the "design requirement") ;and 4) to be
reasonably dispersed throughout the project (the "dispersal requirement"); and
WHEREAS, the Inclusionary Ordinance requires qualified owners and tenants to be selected
pursuant to the preference point system set forth in the Inclusionary Ordinance (the "preference
requirement"); and
WHEREAS, the City may waive the requirements of the Inclusionary Ordinance and approve
alternate methods of compliance with the Inclusionary Ordinance if the applicant demonstrates, and the
City Council finds, that such alternate methods satisfy the purposes of the Inclusionary Ordinance; and
ATTACHMENT 5
WHEREAS, the For-Sale Component does not satisfy the number of affordable units required by
the Inclusionary Ordinance, and the Rental Component exceeds the required number of affordable units;
and
WHEREAS, to remedy the Project's inconsistency with the Inclusionary Ordinance, the
Developer proposes that the Council consider the Rental Component and For-Sale Component as one
project for purposes of the Inclusionary Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Developer requests a waiver from some of the requirements of the Inclusionary
Ordinance, including permission to calculate the affordable units required in the Rental Component and
the For-Sale Component in the aggregate for the entire development; and
WHEREAS, the Rental Component and For-Sale Component, in the aggregate, exceed the 12.5%
affordability requirement of the Inclusionary Ordinance by providing a total of 192 affordable units (42
more affordable units than exist on the site today) and providing deeper affordability than required by the
Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Developer requests a waiver from the affordability requirement of the
Inclusionary Ordinance so that the Rental Component can be constructed without any moderate-income
units and the For-Sale Component can be constructed without any very low-income or low-income units;
and
WHEREAS, the Developer requests a waiver from the preference point requirement of the
Inclusionary Ordinance so that aone-time exception would be provided to enable existing and former
Arroyo Vista residents to receive express preference for all affordable units in the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Developer requests a waiver from the requirement of concurrent
construction because certain financing and regulatory constraints may impede Eden Housing Inc.'s ability
to initiate construction of the affordable rental units prior to or concurrently with Citation Homes
Central's construction of the market-rate units; provided however, Citation Homes Central will construct
the affordable for-sale units concurrently with the market-rate for-sale units; and
WHEREAS, the Developer requests a waiver from the equivalent bedroom requirement because
Citation Homes Central plans to construct some 4-bedroom market-rate, for-sale units but no 4-bedroom
affordable, for-sale units; and
WHEREAS, the Developer requests a waiver from the dispersal requirement because the Rental
Component is 100% affordable and therefore the affordable rental units will be clustered together;
provided however, Citation will disperse the affordable for-sale units throughout the For Sale Component.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin City Council hereby finds that:
A. The Developer's alternate methods of compliance with the affordability, preference point,
concurrent construction, equivalent bedroom size and dispersal requirements of the Inclusionary
Ordinance meet the purposes of the Inclusionary Ordinance and constitute alternate methods of
compliance.
B. The Council waives the affordability, preference point, equivalent bedroom size and dispersal
requirements of the Inclusionary Ordinance and approves Developer's alternate methods of
compliance.

C. The Council waives the concurrent construction requirement of the Inclusionary Ordinance
provided: (a) the affordable for-sale units in the For-Sale Component are constructed concurrently
with the market rate for-sale units in the For-Sale Component to a maximum of 126 for-sale units
(112 market rate units and 14 affordable units); and (b) no building permit shall be issued for any
units in the For-Sale Component in excess of 126 units unless [i] Eden has secured financing for
the entire Rental Component, to the satisfaction of the City Manager; [iiJ Citation constructs
affordable units that, together with the 14 affordable units, satisfy the Inclusionary Ordinance's
requirements for the For-Sale Component; or [iii] Citation pays fees in lieu of constructing the
remaining affordable units required for compliance with the Inclusionary Ordinance's 12.5%
requirement for the For-Sale Component. In the event that Citation pays in lieu fees pursuant to
(b)[iii], the City will place such fees in an account and shall return such monies to Citation, with
accrued interest, when Eden has secured financing for the entire Rental Component, to the
satisfaction of the City Manager.
D. The Council finds that treating the Rental Component and For-Sale Component as one project for
purposes of the Inclusionary Ordinance meets the purposes of the Inclusionary Ordinance because
more affordable units will be created and deeper affordability will be provided than required by
the Inclusionary Ordinance.
