DESCRIPTION:
Background:
The 33.91 net acre project site is bounded to the
north across Dublin Boulevard by a vacant property
approved for General Commercial uses; to the
south by Interstate 580; to the west by a vacant
property owned by Kaiser Permanente approved for
Campus Office and anticipated to be developed with
medical offices and a hospital; and to the east
(across Fallon Road) by a vacant property approved
for General Commercial land uses (refer to the
Vicinity Map to the left).

~ -~ ~ '~ Plan Area. Area C covers approximately 85 acres
'~"' •'"~- including the 33.91 acre Fallon Gateway project
,~~. ~ ~ .. _ ~ ,~ ~~.~~~ site.
Entitlement History:
The zoning requirements for Dublin Ranch Areas B-E (which includes the project site) were
established by Ordinance 24-97 dated December 2, 1997 establishing a Planned Development
Rezone, and by the City Council Resolution 141-97 dated November 18, 1997. The Planned
Development rezone for Areas B-E predates the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans
referenced in Chapter 8.32 (Planned Development Zoning District) of the City of Dublin's Zoning
Ordinance.
In April 2009, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the Fallon Gateway
project. At that meeting, the Planning Commission approved a Resolution approving a Site
Development Review for Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the project (Resolution No. 09-18). The Site
Development Review included 4 major tenant spaces (Major A, Major B, Major C and Major D)
and 6 smaller retail buildings (Shops 5- 10) for a total of 311,553 square feet of development.
Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt an Ordinance
approving an amendment to the Planned Development (PD) District for Dublin Ranch Area C to
establish architectural and landscape design criteria, specific parking standards and the
permitted, conditional and temporary uses for the entire Fallon Gateway project site (Phase 1, 2,
3 and 4). Because this project was approved under the existing Area B-E Planned
Development, it was appropriate to amend the PD document to modify the design criteria,
parking standards and the permitted conditional and temporary uses.
In June 2009, the City Council adopted an Ordinance approving an amendment to the PD
District for Dublin Ranch Area C, specifically for the Fallon Gateway site, to establish
architectural and landscape design criteria, parking standards, permitted, conditional and
temporary uses (Ordinance No. 9-09). The amendment to the PD District of Dublin Ranch Area
C applies to all phases of development for the Fallon Gateway Commercial Center.
In March 2010, the Applicant, in finalizing their agreement with Target Stores, became aware of
concerns that Target had with the approved building layout and the multiple exterior building
materials that were approved for the Target fa~ade. Target requested that some minor
2of5
modifications be made to the floor plan and exterior elevations to eliminate the garden center
and to reduce the number of exterior building materials. Staff worked with the Applicant and the
Target representatives to modify the Target building. Section 8.104.040. A.,13. "Minor Fa~ade
Modifications" of the Zoning Ordinance designates the Community Development Director as
review authority for modifications such as but not limited to .....building materials, architectural
details or a combination of improvements which would typically require a Site Development
Review Waiver if constructed separately. On May 18, 2010, pursuant to Section 8.104.040, the
Community Development Director approved the minor revisions.
Subsequently, the Planning Commission did review the Development Agreement and Fallon
Gateway for overall minor revisions for the entire center relating to the Target modifications in
order to keep the center consistent architecturally on August 10, 2010. Details of the Planning
Commission's review are included on page 5 of this Staff Report.
Current Proposal:
The application before the City Council consists of a Development Agreement between the City
of Dublin and the Applicant, Stanforth Holding Company, L.L.C.
ANALYSIS:
Development Agreement
Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) require a Development Agreement
between the City and the Developer. California Government Code §§ 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
issuance of building permits for the development of the property.
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 5 years and would terminate in
2015. 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
EDSP 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.
The Development Agreement proposed is a standard Development Agreement. There are no
unique or special provisions. A City Council Ordinance approving the Development Agreement
is included as Attachment 1, with the Development Agreement attached as Exhibit A.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
3 of 5
In accordance with State law, a Public Notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the proposed Project. A Public Notice was also published in the Valley Times
and posted at several locations throughout the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On May 10, 1993, the Dublin City Council adopted Resolution No. 51-93, certifying an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (Eastern Dublin EIR, SCH #91103064). The certified EIR consisted
of a Draft EIR and Responses to Comments bound volumes, as well as an Addendum dated
May 4, 1993, assessing a reduced development alternative. The City Council adopted
Resolution No. 53-93 approving a General Plan Amendment and a Specific Plan for the reduced
area alternative on May 10, 1993. On August 22, 1994, the City Council adopted a second
Addendum updating wastewater disposal plans for Eastern Dublin. For identified impacts that
could not be mitigated to a less than significant level, the City Council adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations for cumulative traffic, extension of certain community facilities
(natural gas, electric and telephone service), regional air quality, noise, and other impacts.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted by the City to encourage orderly growth of the
Eastern Dublin area. Because the Eastern Dublin project proposed urbanization of the almost
completely undeveloped Eastern Dublin area, the Eastern Dublin EIR also analyzed conversion
of agricultural and open space lands to urban uses. These impacts together with visual and
other impacts from urbanization were also determined to be significant and unavoidable. Where
the Eastern Dublin EIR identified impacts that could be mitigated, the previously adopted
mitigation measures continue to apply to implementing projects such as Fallon Gateway, as
appropriate.
The Eastern Dublin EIR was a Program EIR and evaluated the potential environmental effects
of urbanizing Eastern Dublin over a 20 to 30 year period. As such, the Eastern Dublin EIR
addressed the cumulative effects of developing in agricultural and open space areas and the
basic policy considerations accompanying the change in character from undeveloped to
developed lands.
In 1997, the Dublin City Council approved a Negative Declaration (Resolution No. 140-97) for
the Planned Development Rezoning of Dublin Ranch Areas B-E, which includes the Fallon
Gateway project site. After completing an Initial Study, it was determined that the rezoning
would not have any significant environmental impacts which were not already adequately
described and analyzed in the Program EIR. The project as proposed does not exceed the
thresholds identified in the Negative Declaration.
No further environmental document is needed because the environmental impacts of this project
were fully addressed and within the scope of the Final EIR for the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment, Specific Plan and subsequent Addendum and the 1997 Negative Declaration.
Planning Commission Action:
On August 10, 2010, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the Fallon
Gateway Project. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission discussed access points to
the site, truck movements through the site, the longevity of the pedestals in the medians, the
pedestrian friendly elements of the center and the Development Agreement. The Planning
4of5
Commission Agenda Statement is included as Attachment 2 and the draft minutes of the
Planning Commission meeting are included as Attachment 3.
The Commission deliberated and approved the following resolutions by a 5-0 vote:
• Resolution 10-32, approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Minor Amendment to the
Planned Development Zoning District and Site Development Review amendments for
Fallon Gateway (Attachment 4); and
• Resolution 10-33, recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving a
Development Agreement for the Fallon Gateway Project (Attachment 5).

individually referred to in this Agreement as a"Party," and are collectively
referred to as "Parties."
RECITALS
A. California Government Code §§65864 et seq. ("Development
Agreement Statute") and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code (hereafter
"Chapter 8.56") authorize the City to enter into a Development Agreement for the
development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest
in such property in order to establish certain development rights in such property.
B. Developer intends to purchase, desires to develop, and holds an
equitable interest in certain real property consisting of approximately 33.9 acres
of land, located in the City of Dublin, County of Alameda, State of California,
which is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference, and which real property is hereafter called
the "Property."
C. The City Council adopted the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan by
Resolution No. 53-93 which Plan is applicable to the Property. The Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan requires Developer to enter into a development agreement
as a condition of the development of the Property.
D. The Property is within Area C, which is subject to a Master
Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and the Lins dated June 29,
1999 and recorded in Official Records Alameda County on July 8, 1999 as
Instrument No. 99251790, and a Supplemental Development Agreement
between the City of Dublin and the Lins dated April 18, 2000 and recorded in
Official Records of Alameda County on November 13, 2000 as Instrument No.
200335772.
E. Developer proposes the development of the Property, and
Developer proposes to develop 3 initial phases of the project on approximately
27.33 net acres, consisting of 10 structures totaling approximately 311,553
square feet ("the Initial Phase"). At a later date, Developer will develop the
remaining portions of the Property. The Initial Phase and the remaining phase or
phases of the development are collectively referred to as "the Project."

F. Developer, or its predecessor in interest, has applied for, and City
has approved or is processing, various land use approvals in connection with the
development of the Project, including, without limitation, the Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan for Area C(Ord. No. 24-97, as amended by Ord. No. 9-09 and
by Planning Commission Reso. No. 09-18); and Site Development Review for the
Initial Phase (Planning Commission Reso. No. 09-18). All such approvals
collectively, together with any approvals or permits now or hereafter issued with
respect to the Project are referred to as the "Project Approvals."
G. Development of the Property by Developer may be subject to
certain future discretionary approvals, which, if granted, shall automatically
become part of the Project Approvals as each such approval becomes effective.
It is specifically anticipated that the Project will require additional site
development review approval for the phases in the shopping center following the
Initial Phase.
H. City desires the timely, efficient, orderly and proper development of
the Project.
I. The City Council has found that, among other things, this
Development Agreement is consistent with its General Plan and the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan and has been reviewed and evaluated in accordance with
the Development Agreement Statute and Chapter 8.56.
J. City and Developer have reached agreement and desire to express
herein a Development Agreement that witl facilitate development of the Project
subject to conditions set forth herein.
K. The Fallon Gateway site is subject to the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan, for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR, SCH 91103064) was
certified by the City Council in Resolution No 51-93 on May 10, 1993 and
Addenda dated May 4, 1994 and August 22, 1994. The EIR is a Program EIR
which anticipated several subsequent actions related to future development in
Eastern Dublin. Upon approval of the Specific Plan, the City adopted a Statement
of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring Program which included
numerous measures intended to reduce impacts from the development of the
Eastern Dublin area. In 1997, the City Council approved a Negative Declaration
through Resolution No. 140-97 for the Planned Development Rezoning of Dublin
Ranch Areas B-E, which includes the Fallon Gateway site. The Negative
Declaration concluded that the rezoning would not have any significant
environmental impacts which were not already adequately described and
analyzed in the Program EIR. The Fallon Gateway project as proposed does not
exceed the thresholds identified in the Negative Declaration. No further
environmental review is needed for the Development Agreement because the
environmental impacts of development at Fallon Gateway were fully addressed
and are within the scope of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR and subsequent
Addenda, and the 1997 Negative Declaration, and the proposed project is
Dublin/Stanforth Holding Company, L.L.C. Development Agreement Page 3 of 16
for the Fallon Gateway Project
~~~ ~l
subject to all applicable mitigation measures and the related Mitigation
Monitoring Program.

The Fallon Gateway project site consists of 33.91 net acres located within the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan Area. The proposed project consists of a Conditional Use Permit for a Minor
Amendment to the existing Planned Development Zoning, Site Development Review
Amendments and a Development Agreement for Fallon Gateway. In April 2009, the Dublin
Planning Commission approved a Site Development Review application for Phases 1, 2 and 3
of the Fallon Gateway commercial center. Subsequently, in June 2009, the Dublin City Council
approved an amendment to the General Commercial portion of the Planned Development (PD)
zoning for Area C to allow the construction of the Fallon Gateway commercial center. The
amended PD included architectural and landscape design criteria, specific parking standards
and the permitted, conditional and temporary uses for the entire project site. In May 2010, the
Community Development Director approved minor farade modifications for the anchor tenant of
the center (Target). The current application proposes minor changes to the architectural and
landscape design criteria previously approved in 2009. The proposed changes are consistent
with the SDR modifications that Target received approval for in May 2010.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Open the
public hearing; 3) Take testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close the public hearing
and deliberate; 5) Adopt the following Resolutions: a) Resolution approving a Conditional Use
Permit for a Minor Amendment to the Planned Development Zoning District and Site
Development Review Amendments for Fallon Gateway; and b) Resolution recommending that
the City Council adopt ar Ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and S an rth Holding Co., L.L.C.

The project site is a 33.91 net acre vacant site
that has been filled to raise the site in
preparation of development. There are no trees
on-site and the ground cover consists primarily
of non-native grasses. The site is generally flat
and has very little variation in topography. The
project site slopes gently downward from north
to south. Water, sewer, recycled water and joint
trench infrastructure are either currently
available from utilities constructed within Dublin
Boulevard or are able to be extended to the
project site.

(refer to the Vicinity Map above).
The Fallon Gateway project site is within Area C of Dublin Ranch. Area C covers approximately
85 acres including the 33.91 acre Fallon Gateway project site.
Entitlement History:
The zoning requirements for Dublin Ranch Areas B-E (which includes the project site) were
established by Ordinance 24-97 dated December 2, 1997 establishing a Planned Development
Rezone, and by the City Council Resolution 141-97 dated November 18, 1997. The Planned
Development rezone for Areas B-E predates the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans
referenced in Chapter 8.32 (Planned Development Zoning District) of the City of Dublin's Zoning
Ordinance.
In April 2009, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the Fallon Gateway
project. At that meeting~, the Planning Commission approved a Resolution approving a Site
Development Review for Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the project (Resolution No. 09-18). The Site
Development Review included 4 major tenant spaces (Major A, Major B, Major C and Major D)
and 6 smaller retail buildings (Shops 5- 10) for a total of 311,553 square feet of development.
Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt an Ordinance
approving an amendment to the Planned Development district for Dublin Ranch Area C to
establish architectural and landscape design criteria, specific parking standards and the
permitted, conditional and temporary uses for the entire Fallon Gateway project site (Phase 1, 2,
3 and 4). Because this project was approved under the existing Area B-E Planned
Development, it was appropriate to amend the PD document to modify the design criteria,
parking standards and the permitted conditional and temporary uses.

G~ ~
Development, it was appropriate to amend the PD document to modify the design cri ri ,~ -
parking standards and the permitted conditional and temporary uses.
In June 2009, the City Council adopted an Ordinance approving an amendment to the Planned
Development district for Dublin Ranch Area C, specifically for the Fallon Gateway site, to
establish architectural and landscape design criteria, parking standards, permitted, conditional
and temporary uses (Ordinance No. 9-09). The amendment to the Planned Development District
of Dublin Ranch Area C applied to all phases of development for the Fallon Gateway
Commercial Center.
In March 2010, the Applicant, in finalizing their agreement with Target Stores, became aware of
concerns that Target had with the approved building lay out and the multiple exterior building
materials that were approved for the Target farade. Target requested that some minor
modifications be made to the floor plan and exterior elevations to eliminate the garden center
and to reduce the number of exterior building materials. Staff worked with the Applicant and the
Target representatives to modify the Target building and on May 18, 2010, the Community
Development Director approved the minor revisions.
Section 8.104.040. A.,13. "Minor Fa~ade Modifications" of the Zoning Ordinance designates the
Community Development Director as review authority for modifications such as but not limited to
.....building materials, architectural details or a combination of improvements which would
typically require a Site Development Review Waiver if constructed separately.
Current Proposal:
Target is currently preparing construction documents. The Applicant has noted that, in order to
keep the architectural integrity of Fallon Gateway consistent, minor amendments to the fa~ade
and site plan would be appropriate to build on the SDR modifications that Target received
approval for and to keep Fallon Gateway architecturally consistent.
The Applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Minor Amendment to the
existing Planned Development Zoning for Fallon Gateway in addition to amendments to the
previously approved Site Development Review permit. Section 8.104.070 of the Zoning
Ordinance states that when a Site Development Review is required for a project which is also
subject to a Conditional Use Permit, it shall be approved, conditionally approved or denied by
the same decision-maker or body for those actions during the same public hearing. While the
zoning code gives the Community Development Director the authority to approve Minor Fa~ade
Amendments (Section 8.104.040), in this instance the Community Development Director is
requesting that the Planning Commission review and take action on the requested Site
Development Review amendments pursuant to Section 8.104.070 of the Zoning Ordinance
since the Planning Commission is taking action on the Planned Development Zoning.
The current proposal also includes a Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and
the Applicant, Stanforth Holding Company, L.L.C.
ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit for a Minor Amendment to the Existing Planned Development
Zoning & Site Development Review Amendments
Pursuant to Section 8.36.080 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance the Planning Commission, by
means of a Conditional Use Permit, can make minor amendments to an adopted Planned
Development, upon finding that the amendment substantially complies with, and does not
materially change the provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District
3 of S
~)
Ordinance for the site. The amendments proposed by the Applicant include minor change o~~~ ~
the architectural and landscape design criteria, primarily relating to removal and replacement of
fa~ade materials and landscape modifications.
The proposed Fallon Gateway Architecture Design Revisions include the following:
Maiors
• Remove light towers befinreen Major B& C and at northwest corner of Major D.
• Reduce light tower size at Major D(east elevation).
• Remove all laminate and metal finish cladding; replace with smooth paint and textured
paint over form-lined concrete and cement plaster with reveals.
Shops 5 & 6
• Reduce light tower size on both buildings at primary entry/exit to shopping center at
Fallon Road.
• Remove all laminate and metal finish cladding; replace with smooth paint and textured
paint over form-lined concrete and cement plaster with reveals.
Shops 7, 8, 9& 10
• Remove all laminate and metal finish cladding; replace with smooth paint and textured
paint over form-lined filled concrete and cement plaster with reveals.
Additionally, the Applicant is proposing to amend several landscape exhibits, which were
previously approved in 2009. The proposed landscape design revisions include the following:
• Change the quantity of concrete unit pavers and replace with scored colored concrete for
the storefront areas and adjacent to shops 8 and 9.
• Modify the width of concrete unit pavers in crosswalks to 10 feet.
• Reduce the quantity of pottery with plant material adjacent to Shops 5, 6, 8, 9.
• Consolidate the tree grates and replace with planters south of Shop 6.
• Revise the street furniture.
• Revise the design and location of pedestals.
• Eliminate concrete unit pavers in Pedestrian Walkway through the parking lot.
• Revise design of the Primary and Secondary Entry Walls to reflect material changes to
architecture.
• Revise the seat walls by eliminating the Lumasite panels.
• Revise the pedestal and add planter bowls.
• The Fallon Gateway Monument at northwest corner of Dublin Blvd./Fallon Road to be
built with Area B Dublin Ranch.
A Planning Commission Resolution approving both the Conditional Use Permit to amend the
Planned Development Zoning and the Site Development Review for Fallon Gateway with the
relevant findings is included as Attachment 1.
The project plans (Attachment 3) have been organized to illustrate the approved elevations (by
the Planning Commission in 2009) and the proposed revisions to the elevations. Although the
materials have changed, the design concept has remained intact.
Development Agreement
Projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) require a Development Agreement
between the City and the Developer. California Government Code §§ 65864 et seq. and
4of8
~t~ LJl
Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipai 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.
The Development Agreement provides security to the developer that the City will not change its
zoning arid other laws applicable to the project for a period of 5 years and would terminate in
2015. 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
EDSP 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.
The Development Agreement proposed is a standard Development Agreement. There are no
unique or special provisions. A Planning Commission Resolution recommending the City
Council adopt an Ordinance approving the Development Agreement between the City of Dublin
and Stanforth Holding Company, L.L.C is included as Attachment 2 with the draft Ordinance
attached as Exhibit A, and the Development Agreement attached as Exhibit B.
CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLAN & ZONING ORDINANCE
The proposed Fallon Gateway project includes a Conditional Use Permit for a Minor
Amendment to the existing Planned Development Zoning and Site Development Review
Amendments for Fallon Gateway. The proposed Minor Amendment to the Planned
Development and the Site Development Review amendments are consistent with the Dublin
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because the project includes design guidelines
to create a cohesive and attractive commercial center which will be compatible with surrounding
development.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The modifications proposed are mostly for the building materials and landscape modifications.
The amendment to the Planned Development and Site Development Review are needed to
memorialize the material changes and guide future design. The Building Department has
reviewed the proposed modifications. No other department review is needed at this time.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:

~ ~~~
In accordance with State law, a Public Notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the proposed Project. A Public Notice was also published in the Valley Times
and posted at several locations throughout the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On May 10, 1993, the Dublin City Council adopted Resolution No. 51-93, certifying an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (Eastern Dublin EIR, SCH #91103064). The certified EIR consisted
of a Draft EIR and Responses to Comments bound volumes, as well as an Addendum dated
May 4, 1993, assessing a reduced development alternative. The City Council adopted
Resolution No. 53-93 approving a General Plan Amendment and a Specific Plan for the reduced
area alternative on May 10, 1993. On August 22, 1994, the City Council adopted a second
Addendum updating wastewater disposal plans for Eastern Dublin. For identified impacts that
could not be mitigated to a less than significant level, the City Council adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations for cumulative traffic, extension of certain community facilities
(natural gas, electric and telephone service), regional air quality, noise, and other impacts.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted by the City to encourage orderly growth of the
Eastern Dublin area. Because the Eastern Dublin project proposed urbanization of the almost
completely undeveloped Eastern Dublin area, the Eastern Dublin EIR also analyzed conversion
of agricultural and open space lands to urban uses. These impacts together with visual and
other impacts from urbanization were also determined to be significant and unavoidable. Where
the Eastern Dublin EIR identified impacts that could be mitigated, the previously adopted
mitigation measures continue to apply to implementing projects such as Fallon Gateway, as
appropriate.
The Eastern Dublin EIR was a Program EIR and evaluated the potential environmental effects
of urbanizing Eastern Dublin over a 20 to 30 year period. As such, the Eastern Dublin EIR
addressed the cumulative effects of developing in agricultural and open space areas and the
basic policy considerations accompanying the change in character from undeveloped to
developed lands.
In 1997, the Dublin City Council approved a Negative Declaration (Resolution No. 140-97) for
the Planned Development Rezoning of Dublin Ranch Areas B-E, which includes the Fallon
Gateway project site. After completing an Initial Study, it was determined that the rezoning
would not have any significant environmental impacts which were not already adequately
described and analyzed in the Program EIR. The project as proposed does not exceed the
thresholds identified in the Negative Declaration.
No further environmental document is needed because the environmental impacts of this project
were fully addressed and within the scope of the Final EIR for the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment, Specific Plan and subsequent Addendum and the 1997 Negative Declaration.

Chair King asked Mr. Porto to point out the walkways through the parking lot.
Mr. Porto pointed out two routes for pedestrians to get through the parking lot to the major
stores.
Cm. Brown asked if the Development Agreement is for a 5 year term does that mean the
developer must complete all phases of the project within that 5 year period.
Mr. Porto answered no. He explained the DA states that the City wori t change the criteria for
the project and that the Developer agrees to pay the fees, pull the permits and file a final map.
He continued it is possible that the project will not be done within the 5 year period and will
expire. He stated there is the option of renewing the DA if the project is not completed.

Cm. Schaub asked if building this shopping center depends on Stoneridge Drive going though
to I-580.
Mr. Porto answered no and mentioned that Dublin Blvd and Central Pkwy are open to Fallon
Road now. He mentioned that the Developer must make some improvements to Dublin Blvd as
a part of the project as well.
Cm. Wehrenberg asked if the highlighted areas on the landscaping plans are the changes to the
project from the original submittal.
Mr. Porto answered yes.
Cm. Wehrenberg asked if the entire turnaround area will be stamped concrete as shown on
pages L2.1R.
Mr. Porto answered yes, the entire circle.
Cm. Wehrenberg asked about reviewing the landscaping plans and if there will be enough
water to these locations.
Mr. Porto answered yes and Staff will be reviewing the irrigation plans with the construction
drawings when they are submitted.
Cm. Wehrenberg was concerned about the longevity of the pottery on sheet L13.1R, and the
pedestals in the median.
Mr. Porto answered Cm. Wehrenberg was referring to the pedestals that are on the center
median inside the shopping center. They are located in the center of two lanes coming in and
three lanes going out so someone would have to come across traffic to get to the pedestals. He
continued the pedestals will be the signage that will lead to the center of the project.
Jeff Baker, Planning Manager mentioned that there is a property maintenance ordinance and the
Code Enforcement team would require them to maintain the pedestals.
Cm. Wehrenberg stated she liked the feature and wanted to ensure it was in a good area and
would not be easily damaged.
Cm. Brown asked about the temporary asphalt sidewalks and how long will they remain
temporary.
Mr. Porto answered the project was conditioned to have a path of travel from the public street
into the project. He stated that rather then install a hard surface that will be torn up during
construction Staff conditioned the asphalt sidewalk as a temporary material which can be easily
removed and replaced with proper material. He continued the temporary asphalt sidewalks
will stay until those phases of the project are complete.

Cm. Wehrenberg asked about access points from Dublin Blvd and Fallon Rd. and asked if there
is access from behind the building and the property adjacent to the project.
Mr. Porto answered there is no access from behind the building and explained the access points
as they relate to the Kaiser property. Mr. Porto pointed out access points and pedestrian links
off Dublin Blvd. from a slide of the pedestrian circulation system from Dublin Blvd and Fallon
Road which was approved in Apri12009
Cm. Wehrenberg asked where the trucks would be loading.
Mr. Porto pointed out the truck loading areas on the slide and stated they would be screened by
walls and will be 30 feet wide.
Cm. Wehrenberg asked if the trucks would have access from Dublin Blvd or enter the site
through one of the main entries.
Mr. Porto answered yes they would have access from Dublin Blvd. He stated the original
approval showed all the truck turning points.
Chair King asked if there will be any seating in the circular area.
Mr. Porto answered yes and stated the seating was in the original package along with street
furniture and seat walls.
Chair King asked where he could find a color rendering of the entrance from Dublin Blvd.
Mr. Porto answered the entrance from Dublin Blvd was in the previously approved project and
mentioned there is a smaller scale version of the walls and the entry statements at the Dublin
Blvd/Fallon Road intersection.
Chair King opened the public hearing.
Galen Grant, Craig and Grant Architects, Applicant, spoke in favor of the project. He stated the
changes that are documented in the packet reflect minor changes derived from architectural
changes that Target requested to make the project closer to Target's prototype elevations and to
help Target save money. He stated it made sense to look at Majors B-D and make similar
changes so that they would be more compatible with the changes made to Target. He stated
some of the changes include the removal of inetal and some plaster with reveals replicating
linear patterns and wood laminate was also eliminated. He stated that 95 % of the original
architecture remains in the project including all the nice details. He felt the project was very
good and is happy the project is proceeding.
Chair King mentioned that the City is working on the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP)
for the west Dublin area and asked Mr. Grant to state the features of this project that would
attract pedestrians.

Mr. Grant felt that the center would be nice enough to attract shoppers who could park once
and cover the entire site. He stated the project includes "outdoor rooms" for people to sit and
relax and felt that they will work as long as the "rooms" are soft and comfortable and protected
from traffic, wind and weather. He continued the "rooms" are situated so that they will be seen
when people come into the project. He stated they create diagonal view corridors from the
main entry into the site. He continued the project has plantings, seat walls, special paving,
pedestrian scaled lighting, and materials that have texture and color. Hopefully they will
generate and draw the types of tenants that will encourage outdoor use. He felt that once
people realize the center is there pedestrians will be drawn to it and the types of tenants will
make a difference also.
Mr. Porto mentioned that the spaces in the shopping area are the right size for a frozen yogurt
shop.
Cm. Schaub felt that Parcel3 will drive the look and the feel of the project and that Parcel4 will
be big and look like other shopping centers in the area.
Mr. Grant agreed and felt that Parcels 3 and 4 will support each other. He felt that there will be
cross pedestrian circulation. He continued the expectation is for restaurants to face the street
and draw traffic to the center.
Chair King closed the public hearing.
Cm. Schaub stated he supported the original project but was concerned about the illuminated
signage and how that was to be managed. He stated he supports the changes and felt this is a
better project.
Cm. Wehrenberg agreed with Cm. Schaub and stated she supports the project but is concerned
about the turning point radius for trucks but felt there are other ways of handling the situation.
She continued she has no problem with the changes and felt that some of the changes will
improve the longevity of the buildings.
Cm. Brown stated he is in support of the project.
Cm. Swalwell stated he is in support of the project and the improvements. He commented the
main gateway is an improvement, and unlike the current Target which is a giant store with a
huge parking lot and no pedestrian access, this project has synergy between Target and the
other shops and felt that is what the City wants in future development.
Chair King stated he is in support of the project.
Cm. Wehrenberg added that the difference for the west Dublin Target center is there are
multiple landowners but felt that adding the restaurants and shops to that center improved the
business there. She felt the seating areas in the Fallon Gateway Center will make it a popular
place. She was concerned about signage from I-580.

Mr. Porto stated there is still the 99 foot pylon sign which has not changed from the previously
