Dublin Planning Commission Recommends Amendment to Dublin Center Development Agreement, Adjusting Residential and Commercial Permit Timelines

The Dublin Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval for the first amendment to the development agreement for the Dublin Center project. The amendment allows for a maximum of 250 market-rate residential units to be permitted before the developer must pull building permits for all five commercial buildings along Finney and Way. This change addresses market realities and the need for infrastructure and a residential base to support commercial viability. The original agreement tied residential permits to obtaining at least one commercial permit. The amendment requires 'reasonable efforts' towards construction of all five commercial buildings, including applying for permits, breaking ground, and marketing. The commission voted 3-2 to recommend approval, with two commissioners abstaining.
