Project Overview
The Downtown Dublin Specific Plan is a new specific plan that is combining the area of the existing Downtown Core Specific Plan, Dublin Downtown Specific Plan, San Ramon Road Specific Plan, Village Parkway Specific Plan, and West Dublin BART Specific Plan into one comprehensive plan. The document contains descriptions of the existing setting, an opportunities/constraints analysis, economic analysis, identification of the specific plan boundary, and an evaluation of land uses, densities, and public spaces. The Specific Plan also includes Design Guidelines that provide detailed criteria for elements such as site planning, building architecture, materials and finishes.
Additional information regarding the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan will be posted to this website as it becomes available. Please periodically check back for updates regarding future meetings on this topic.
Study Session to review Draft
On Saturday, August 21, 2010, the City Council and Planning Commission will meet to review and discuss the Draft Downtown Dublin Specific Plan. The document is intended to provide a comprehensive vision for the future of Downtown Dublin and a framework for the successful development of the area over the next 20 years. The Specific Plan has been a multi-year effort of the City and the final document includes invaluable input, direction, and feedback from the community. Walking tours, workshops, and surveys were used to both educate and to solicit opinions about the Downtown from community members. Several components of the Specific Plan and the plan’s main concepts have been reviewed and considered by the City Council and Planning Commission at various Study Sessions.
The Study Session will be held August 21st from 9:00 to 12:00 at the Dublin Civic Center, 100 Civic Plaza, in the Regional Meeting Room. The public is encouraged to attend.

Opportunities, Issues & Strategies Report
An Opportunities, Issues and Strategies Report was prepared to identify areas of strength to capitalize on in the Specific Plan area. A number of background studies including a Market Analysis; Traffic and Transportation Analysis; and Infrastructure Analysis, as well as interviews with property owners were used in preparing the Opportunities, Issues and Strategies Report. The Report describes the opportunities and constraints related to potential infill development and revitalization of the Specific Plan area. The Report also identifies a set of Guiding Principles that will be used to provide a framework and direction for the Specific Plan.
On June 3, 2009, the City Council held a joint City Council/Planning Commission Study Session to review and discuss the Opportunities, Issues and Strategies Report and the Guiding Principles. Staff will use the information obtained at the Study Session to prepare a draft Land Use Plan. The draft Land Use Plan will be presented to the City Council in the fall of 2009. The Land Use Plan will be included as a part of into the draft Specific Plan.
