new construction along commercial corridors that are not already addressed in a specific plan or design
guidelines document. The Zoning Ordinance amendment includes the creation of Chapter 8.33
(Commercial Corridor Overlay Zoning District) to create an overlay zoning district for the City's
commercial and industrial areas that are subject to the proposed Design Guidelines. The Zoning

6.4. Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment to Eliminate the Requirement for Development
Agreements and related Financing Plans and Infrastructure Sequencing Programs
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) requires that Applicants for development in the specific plan
area enter into a mutually acceptable development agreement with the City. The EDSP also requires the
development agreements to include detailed financing plans and infrastructure sequencing programs.
The City's original purpose for these requirements in the EDSP was to ensure the adequate provision of
infrastructure needed by planned development. There are now other implementation measures in place
that insure the provision of infrastructure and payment of fees, so these requirements are no longer
necessary. City staff is recommending that the EDSP be amended to eliminate the above requirements
because they are no longer needed and because the City would then have the opportunity to negotiate for
community benefits when developers desire the certainty provided by a voluntary development
agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Conduct the public hearing, deliberate, and adopt Resolution amending the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
to eliminate the requirement for development agreements and related financing plans and infrastructure
sequencing programs.
