Right now, the high density housing and parking situation is an eyesore, devaluing our property values, and a headache for the residents who live here. So, PLEASE, someone have the developer address the parking concerns here.

The initial study can be found here: http://www.ci.dublin.ca.us/pdf/planning/grafton/InitialStudy.pdf. Please refer to pages 49-50 for the intial items that will be reviewed. I believe that they will be adding other items from the scoping meeting held in April. <br/>The good news is that Dublin is focused on mitigating any adverse traffic impact. Hi BIGMallrat -

The City of Dublin will be evaluating the traffic impact as part of the Environmental Impact Report. The initial study can be found here: http://www.ci.dublin.ca.us/pdf/planning/grafton/InitialStudy.pdf. Please refer to pages 49-50 for the intial items that will be reviewed. I believe that they will be adding other items from the scoping meeting held in April.
The good news is that Dublin is focused on mitigating any adverse traffic impact.

It's entirely too dense for the area. What’s the traffic impact of building high rises like this? It’s entirely too dense for the area.

I highly recommend anyone who's interested in this project to checkout out http://www.stopgraftontowers.org by Mr. Jeff Keihl for a complete and up-to-date summary. As alluring as the boutique hotel, luxurious spa, and more high-density housing may sound, the Lin family's compromise proposal remains a significant deviation from the current designated land use. The city now has to decide whether Dublin needs to boost its high-density residential inventory or increase its office and retail space to bring in jobs. In its deliberation, Dublin should assess this project in the context of current and future development instead of in isolation as Bill Schaub and his planning commission have systematically done in the past. We should also evaluate whether or not the city's infrastructure has the capacity to take on additional demands from thousands of new residents. Based on what I hear from real East Dublin residents, the overwhelming response is that our priority as a city should be a new high school in East Dublin before we build more condominiums.

I hope it gets postponed and undeveloped. Let's start with Dublin's needs first--Kaiser hospital and a second high school.
