ANALYSIS

The General PlanEastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designations for the Promenade were

approved by the City Council on March 7 2000 As part of this approval a 31 acre site withinthe Promenade was given PSP land use designation The approved project documents stated

that the City Council consider an application to change the PSP land use to MediumHighDensity Residential if such PSP use was not established within 10 years The tenyear periodhas since passed and a PSP use has not been established on the site Therefore the

Applicant and property owner are now requesting a General PlanEastern Dublin Specific Plan

Amendment to change the land use designation of this site to MediumHighDensity Residential

as well as to change the land use designation of an adjacent 26 acre NeighborhoodCommercial site

The proposed MediumHighDensity Residential MHR land use designation would allow a

density of 141 to 250 dwelling units per acre Based on this density the57acre area could

be developed within a range of 80 to 143 units It is anticipated that if the land use is changedto MHR the development standards in terms of minimum lot size setbacks building height and

coverage requirements would be similar to those adopted previously for The Cottages the

existing residential neighborhood immediately west of the Study

It has been past practice for the City Council to initiate all General Plan and Specific Plan

Amendment Studies prior to accepting an official application and beginning work on such a

request Any development of the site still would require a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Planned

Development Rezone Tentative Subdivision Map and Site Development Review

If the City Council initiates a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment StudyStaff wi I I

1 Examine if the proposed land use designation and density are appropriate for the site2 Evaluate the proposal for consistency with the Housing Element3 Evaluate any associated environmental impacts from the land use change such as

traffic noise or view impacts and prepare the appropriate environmental documents4 Perform any additional studies that may be required5 Evaluate the proposed land plan and

of 4

6 Prepare an analysis for consideration by the Planning Commission and the CityCouncil

When the Study is complete and if it results in a recommendation to amend the existing land

uses Staff would then present the Planning Commission with the proposed General Plan and

Specific Plan land use amendments for recommendation to the City Council The City Councilthen could take action on the General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment Any related

application materials would be presented for consideration concurrently

Staff has prepared draft resolutions approving Attachment 3 and denying Attachment 4 the

initiation of a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment Study to change the

land use designation from PublicSemiPublic and Neighborhood Commercial to MediumHighDensity Residential

Dear City Councilmember

I do not support the request by KB Home and Charter Properties to convert half of the retail space at the Promenade to

highdensity condos

If approved this land use conversion will be aclassic bait and switch scheme made possible by Dublin City Hall For ten

years new East Dublin residents in the tens of thousands have been told that the Promenade would be an upscaleshopping destination to rival San JosesSantana Row Now that everyone has already bought or rented homes in andaround Dublin Ranch Villages based on that promise the City of Dublin is trying to shoehorn more condos into an area

already saturated with highdensity housing

The prospect of more highdensity condos instead of the upscale shopping center promised to residents could not have

come at a worse time Property values have cratered over the past few years Scrapping the Promenade in favor of

additional highdensity condos beyond the 1400 units already built as part ofthe Dublin Ranch Villages will further reduce

the value of my home Even worse the loss of a shopping dining district within easy walking distance of thousands of

residents will seriously degrade the quality of life that all of us were seeking when we purchased in the Dublin Ranch

Villages It also completely contradicts Dublinsvision of creating mixedusewalkable villages within the city and instead

condemns Dublin Ranch Villages to be just another highdensity residential neighborhood almost entirely dependent on

cars and yet with seriously insufficient parking for those cars

East Dublin schools are already overcrowded The Dublin Unified School District will likely use the impact fees generatedby the new homes to pay off funds borrowed to build Kolb Elementary School instead of creating additional longtermcapacity for new students As a result students in the already oversubscribed schools in East Dublin could be diverted to

a school in West Dublin

Residents living in the Villas and Cottages at Dublin Ranch Villages are so desperate for parking that they have been

parking on the dirt patch KB Home wants to rezone for more condos Will there be enough parking once more residents

move into the new KB Home condos

Dublin is awonderful city to live in and I trust that you will do what is right for the community Please maintain alongtermvision for Dublin instead of falling prey to shortsighted planning based on temporary economic conditions Please vote

against the request by KB Home and Charter Properties to initiate a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan

Amendment Study to evaluate changing half of the Promenade to a MediumHighDensity Residential land use area I

urge you to stop KB Home and Charter Properties from ruining our dream of the Promenade that has been promised for a

decade

Subject Re Response to Promenade Concerns

Hi again

Ijust sent you and email but since you emailed metwice Ithought it appropriate to email you twice and make

sure you received it Please see below

Hi Linda

Thanks for your email below Ithink the issue of the proposed change has more to do with the pentupfrustration ofhomeowners who have seen the value oftheir homes plummet in a terrible housing market while

the added value ofthe Promenade has done nothing to add value to the community This whole area was sold

by showcasing great Toll Brothers homes surrounding the community square My partner and I live in an area

where to get coffee in the morning we walk from the Villas to Peets around that giant vacant dirt lot

where we were told we would be able to walk to the end ofour community

I think the mistakes ofthe City started with allowing development of Grafton Station before the development of

the Promenade and in allowing Standard Pacific Toll Brothers KB Braddock and Logan and all the other

newhome developments to continue building without first requiring Charter Properties to uphold their promisesto the current residents I think you all have done poorly by the community and that is why the communit is

rising against you on this issue While it may be perceived as a small change to you if you dontlive here you

cantunderstand the constant parking frustration and lack ofcommunity hubs

Iknow that I intend to attend the September 20th meeting to allow my voice to be heard Ijust hope that

someone is listening Its time for the stopstart to end for the dancing around to come to a close and for the

City of Dublin to stand up to the interests of developers and begin standing up for the interests of residents

Thanks

Dear Concerned Resident

The City is in receipt of your email regarding concerns about the Promenade The City received a request from KB

Homes and Charter Properties to rezone the PublicSemi Public property as well as a small back portion of the

commercial property The request does not remove or affect the main street retail that is the cornerstone of the

Promenade project as was reported on the Around Dublin Blog We have made contact with the Blog and informed

them of the discrepancy See map below

Proposal by KB Homes and Charter Properties

When the City receives a request to change a General Plan or Specific Plan land use these requests must first be

presented to the City Council for direction City staff sent courtesy notices to some2300 residents in the area of the

project because we know that there is a heightened interest in the Promenade project

At the September 20 City Council meeting the City Council will provide direction to on whether or not City staff should

spend time working with KB Homes and Charter Properties on the requested amendments

On behalf of the City we thank you for submitting your concern to the City

Subject RE Response to Promenade Concerns

Dear Ms Smith

Thank you for your response However in looking at the map we still have a great concern regarding the rezoning of the

PublicSemiPublic property which is at the corner of Chancery Lane and Central Parkway As a current resident of

Chancery Lane street parking is very difficult for us as well as for our guests To have another middlehighdensity residential property across from us is unacceptable We are already in a very high density residential area with the

Cottage Sorrento Courtyard Villas and the Terrace Anyone will tell you that the parking in these areas are atrocious I

hope that the Planning Committee would be more prudent in the decision of rezoning of this section and analyzethe impact this would have in our area

Subject Re Response to Promenade concerns

Please tell me how this will improve parking for current residents in the townhomes

When we bought a place here we realized parking might get stickier with a retail section but now you want to

ADD more homes How will this help anyone

Ifyou come here on a week night or weekend youll see every inch of Central Blvd is used for parking in

addition to lawn space on side streets Are you telling us youllimprove this for current residents so there will

be no competition with new residents

Please shed some light on the parking solution

Thank you Linda for your quick response and better clarification ofthe item at hand We live in Dublin Ranch

and believe strongly in preserving The Promenade component as originally called for in the master plan forEastern Dublin Glad to know that thispotential rezone does not mean the end ofthe Promenade dream for

residences here For the remaining land I would support higher density commercial or evenmixed use like BayStreet in Emeryville if the residential is found to be absolutely necessary to make the commercial part become a

reality But in the future Charter come back and wants it all Residential we will certainly oppose

We appreciate very much your response however would strongly urge you to reconsider this proposal We live

directly across the street from that area and you should see how bad and congested the parking is already and

we werepromised the rest would all be commercial and downtown when we bought here over 6 years ago

Weve watched our home values plummet and our neighbors are shot selling their homes right now

If we had the downtown built and in operation there would be a lot less concern for our neighborhood but with

the current overcrowding Icouldnteven imagine more condos in this area it is starting to really feel suffocated

Please help us to maintain the type ofvision we had for our community and not force us to get even more

overcrowded This is definitely not what the community wants nor was shown when we purchased here

Thank you for your consideration we are really hoping our voices are heard in these matters

Thank you for your reply My major concern is that this is just the first step toward eliminating the promenadein a phased approach Ithink everyone knows an outright cancellation of the project would be met with

outrage However if it is done more quietly it wouldntget noticed as much Forgive the conspiracy theorybut Ihope this is not the case

Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy but we are still not in favor of rezoningany commercial for residential There is enough housing in ublinweneed

the commercial to be developed as promised and another high school We are one

of the highest tax payers in the city of Dublin and the city builders and developershave not delivered what was promised to us when we bought here

Very disappointed and wouldntrecommend Dublin as a place for any family to

move to compared to what the neighboring cities offer their residents
