P18-0078, P18-0080, P18-0081, PUD-130 and Tract 8569 (Hidden Canyon) Planning Commission <br />3of 28 <br />3. Adopt a resolution recommending approval of the Pre-Annexation and Development <br />Agreement. <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />The applicant proposes to annex1 five parcels totaling 130.98 acres into City limits, and <br />develop four of the parcels, located at 10807, 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road, and the, <br />parcel west of 11021 Dublin Canyon Road and hereafter referred to as the ‘project site,’with <br />30 detached, single-family residential lots, including two lots to replace two existing homes in <br />the northeastern portion of the project site, and related on- and off-site improvements. The <br />project would also include dedication of land to the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) <br />and construction of an EBRPD staging area for public access to Pleasanton Ridge. <br />The proposed project is consistent with the project site’s pre-zoning designation of Pre-zoned- <br />PUD-OS-A&G/OS-PH&S/LDR/HOZ Districts, which requires conformance with the City’s <br />certified 2023 Housing Element, but not the City’s adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS), <br />as the application was submitted prior to adoption of the ODS. <br />The environmental documentation, consideration for annexation, General Plan amendments, <br />PUD development plan, Vesting Tentative Map, and Pre-Annexation and Development <br />Agreement are before the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation to the <br />City Council. <br />SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION <br />Site Description <br />The project site is located on the south side of Dublin Canyon Road and comprises five <br />existing unincorporated parcels ranging in size from 0.9 to approximately 105 acres in size <br />(see Figure 1). A 66.01-acre portion of the property west of 11021 Dublin Canyon Road is <br />located outside of the City’s urban growth boundary (UGB) line. Two of the properties (the 0.9 - <br />acre easternmost parcel at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road; and an adjacent 15-acre parcel at <br />11021 Dublin Canyon Road) each include an existing home and miscellaneous accessory <br />structures. The remaining parcels to the west, which include undeveloped grazing land, are <br />100 acres and 12.6 acres, respectively. All properties are owned by the Lester family, apart <br />from the 12.6-acre property which is owned by Ponderosa Homes II. <br />The project site has frontage on Dublin Canyon Road at its northeast and northwest ends, with <br />an intervening 2.5-acre property proposed for annexation with the project site, owned by the <br />Oak Hills Congregation. The Oak Hills property is developed with an existing religious facility <br />and associated surface parking areas that are situated on relatively flat, graded pad areas. <br />Vehicular access to the Oak Hills site is provided by an existing driveway from Dublin Canyon <br />Road, which ascends from the roadway to the developed portions of the site, where the <br />primary building and parking areas are clustered. The Oak Hills Congregation property will <br />continue to operate under existing conditions. <br />The topography of the project site is hilly, with a main ridge rising from the northeast corner. <br />The southern portion of the project site slopes down into Devaney Canyon, a heavily vegetated <br />corridor which contains Devaney Creek, running in a southwest to northeast direction of the <br />1 10971 Dublin Canyon Rd. is part of the annexation application only and is not included in any other entitlements.
