Approval of a proposal from Trumark Homes is “mandated” by state laws, city reports said.
DUBLIN — A developer’s proposal to build 573 houses in the east Dublin hills is expected to be approved by the Dublin City Council on Tuesday, just two months after it reluctantly quashed the project.
The land sits north of Interstate 580, east of Fallon Road and the Jordan Ranch housing development, south of the Positano housing development, and extends to the city’s eastern boundary. The deal would have provided “superior affordable housing when contrasted with the type of affordable housing that would be provided” under the city’s standard affordable housing rules, according to a staff report. Those rules require developers of projects with more than 20 homes to reserve 12.5% of them at below-market-rate prices, meaning Trumark would need to designate 72 homes as affordable in its project.
Some were residents who live in nearby developments that have been put up in stages over the last two decades, who said they were concerned that the environmental impact report for the broader land area was done nearly 30 years ago. Others said they think the new homes would add to traffic congestion and crowd schools in the area.
The only portion of Trumark’s proposal where the council had “significant discretion” was the approval of a customized affordable housing deal, city reports said.
