proposal, the mitigation measures for these impacts, and impacts that cannot be <br /> mitigated and are therefore unavoidable. <br /> • As an informational document, the EIR does not formulate recommendations on the <br /> proposal (e.g. approval, conditional approval or denial). <br /> • Once finished, the Draft EIR will be circulated for public comment for 45 days. <br /> Comments received from the general public and from the applicable federal, state, and <br /> local agencies will be addressed in the "Response to Comments" section of the Final <br /> EIR (FEIR). The FEIR will then be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review <br /> and recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will determine whether to <br /> certify the FEIR as complete according to CEQA requirements. <br /> The completed FEIR does not compel the City's approval of the proposed project. The City can <br /> still apply its discretionary ability to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposal. <br /> However, if the City intends to approve or conditionally approve the proposed project, the <br /> mitigation measures identified in the FEIR must then be incorporated in the proposal either as <br /> conditions of approval or as revisions to its design. <br /> SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION <br /> Project Site <br /> The project site is located on the south side of Dublin Canyon Road and comprises four <br /> existing unincorporated parcels ranging in size from 0.9 to approximately 105 acres in size <br /> (see Figures 1 and 2 for project location). A 66.0-acre portion of the property west of 11021 <br /> Dublin Canyon Road is located outside of the City's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) line. Two <br /> of the properties (the 0.9-acre easternmost parcel at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road; and an <br /> adjacent 15-acre parcel at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road) each include an existing home and <br /> miscellaneous accessory structures. The remaining parcels to the west, which are <br /> undeveloped grazing land, are 100 acres and 12.6 acres. All properties are owned by the <br /> Lester Family, apart from the 12.6-acre property which is owned by the Shriners Hospitals for <br /> Children (hereafter referred to as the "Shriners property"). <br /> The project site has frontage on Dublin Canyon Road at its northeast and northwest ends, with <br /> an intervening property owned by the Jehovah's Witness Church and containing a religious <br /> facility occupying the remaining frontage. The topography of the project site is generally hilly, <br /> with a main ridge rising from the northeast corner. The southern portion of the project site <br /> slopes down into Devaney Canyon, a heavily vegetated corridor which contains Devaney <br /> Creek, running in a southwest to northeast direction of the project site. Another heavily treed <br /> canyon branches off Devaney Canyon at the western portion of the project site. <br /> The most prevalent habitat on the site is California annual grassland that is used as rangeland <br /> for cattle grazing, but some seasonal wetlands occur in the northern portion of the site and <br /> ' The Shriners' parcel has the same address as the parcel immediately west of its property, 10807 Dublin Canyon <br /> Road. The parcel west of the Shriners property, owned by the DiCandia family, is not associated with the <br /> development application. The properties are not within City limits; therefore, the City does not have the authority <br /> to change the address of the Shriners property. The Alameda County Assessor's Office and Alameda County staff <br /> have been notified of the discrepancy. <br /> PUD-130/TRACT 8472/P 1 8-00 78/P 1 8-00 79/P 1 8-0080/P 18-0081 Planning Commission <br /> 10807, 11021, and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road and the parcel west of 11021 Dublin Canyon Road <br /> 3 of 11 <br />s Page 7 of 9 August 14, 2019 <br />
