Cm. Lockhart pulled Item 4. 4 from the Consent Calendar and asked about the service received this year in regard to the Crossing Guards. Have there been compliments or complaints? Is there a need to change locations? Should additional locations be considered to accommodate Dublin Elementary School? She questioned the chfference in the rate from last year and this year. Assistant to the City Manager Mu Ann Texeira indicated that the CiO, had received quality service from All City Management Services, Inc.. There had been only minimal problems. 7h,o citizens had called about crossing guards not being at a certain place on a given day and the supervisor had resolved the problem immediately. The City has not received any requests in regard to additional locations for crossing guards. Cm. Zoclchart asked about coverage for Dublin Elementary School which would be opening in the fail Assistant City Manager responded that there already was a crossing guard at San Ramon Road and Shannon A venue which is where students could cross. Mayor Houston felt there should be dialog with the Dublin Unified School District in regard to the need for crossing guards. Responding to the change in rates~ Ms. Texeira explained that FY 199 7-98 rates will be the same as FY 1996-9Z The City has received a discount from the original contract price because Dublin was sharing a supetadsor with another City and the cost savings had been passedon to us. On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council (4.4 600-30) did not approve the resolution authorizing an amendment to the agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. at this time but directed Staff to contact the School District to discuss the issue of whether or not we had enough crossing guards scheduled and to bring this item back.

Burton pulled Item 4. 9 from the Consent Calendar and asked for more informaHon. He was concerned about the extension of Ory Creek Road shown on a map on page 7. The measurement showed the same 145.$9 H dimension, but the road looked quite ch'ffemnt in length at the top in comparison to the bottom part of the road Mr. Thompson explained that them was a curve and the one 145 g. referred to the straish t part. Cm. Burton asked if there could be an extension to the road later on. Mr. Thompson invh'cated it had originally been designed as a cuI de sac, and it is shown as a stub street to appear that it could continue. The people who will buy houses are to be informed by the Developer that the road could be extended in the future. On motion of Cm. BurtonS'seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent)~ the Council adopted (4.9 600-60) RESOLUTION NO. 66 - 97 APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR TRACT 6308 (HANSEN HILL- PHASE II) PUBLIC HEARING - ANNUAL REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SANTA RITA COMMERCIAL CENTER 7:24 p.m. 6.1 (600-60) Staff Report was presented by Community Development Director Eddie Peabody. On January 31, 1995, the City Council approved the Planned Development Rezone and CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 231 Development Agreement with Alameda Surplus Property Authority, Homart Development Co., and the City of Dublin. An annual review of Development Agreements is required by State Law and City Municipal Code. The development provided for by the Agreement has not yet commenced. All items required by the Agreement will be implemented when development occurs. Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote ( Cm. Barnes absent), the Council determined that the developers have complied in good faith with the terms and provisions of the Development Agreement and concluded the Annual Review. PUBLIC HEARING ~ APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF PA ~)7~004 DUBLIN RANCH PHASE I CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 7:26 p.m. 6.2 (410-30) Staff Report was presented by Community Development Director Eddie Peabody and Associate Planner Tasha Huston. Mr. Peabody indicated that the proposed Conditional Use Permit would allow a minor modification to the approved Dublin Ranch Planned Development (PD) Rezone, Land Use and Development Plan and Site Plan to include a 1 O-acre Elementary School and approximately 2 acres of open space buffer within the Dublin Ranch Phase I development. Dublin Ranch is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and encompasses a total of 1,227 acres. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 13, 19~97 and expressed concerns about the proposed school site relocation, mainly regarding traffic, parking, and maintenance of the school site prior to school construction. The Planning Commission voted 4-1 not to approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit for the school site relocation. The applicant filed an appeal of this decision with the City Clerk on May 14, 19~7. Ms. Huston presented several overhead maps of the proposed relocation of the school site. She indicated that the location being further from the major roadway is expected to improve the safety of school children by decreasing the likelihood of pedestrian and vehicular conflicts including unsafe left turn movements. Representatives of both the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 232 Dublin and Livermore School Districts have been involved in the discussions of potential school sites and have agreed that the site next to the park, further away from Fallon Road, is the preferred location. In the new location, the school can be designed to address vehicular movements and unloading at the school site. The school site relocation is preferred because it will achieve three additional criteria used by the School District in evaluating school sites, which are: 1) the school will be centrally located to minimize student travel distance; 2) the school will be next to a neighborhood park to enable shared use of facilities; and 3) the school will be in excess of 200 feet from Fallon Road, the required distance for clear driver visibility and safe vehicular and bus movements. The proposed school site relocation actually promotes the following Specific Plan policies: 1) locating elementary schools away from major arterials and, wherever possible, adjacent to an open space corridor; 2) encouraging accessibility to major activity centers from residential areas; and 3) reserving school sites and promoting a consolidated development pattern. The relocation of the school site is considered a "minor modification" of the Land Use and Development Plan because it does not materially change the provisions of the approved Plan and is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. Cm. Burton indicated a concern about the houses facing the school and asked if there were two lots back to back. He asked if it was possible to have on site unloading. Ms. Huston responded it could be handled that way with on~site unloading. Martin Interbitizen, representative for Dublin Ranch, indicated the applicant's complete support of the new location. He stated that the Planning Department, the Dublin Unified School District, and the owner worked together and an agreement had been reached last week between the Dublin Unified School District and the Livermore School District in transferring the property from the Livermore School District to the Dublin Unified School District. He felt this was a partnership between the City, DUSD, and the owners. He reiterated that this was a land use adjustment and not a site planning exercise. It was a straight forward exchange of lot location. The details of the site plan would occur in the future. It would be an improvement of traffic circulation for the pedestrian, as well as the car traffic. Jeanne Howland, Dublin Unified School District, stated that the proposed prototype school site plan should be approved tomorrow by the School Board of Directors. There will be off-street parking and drop off lanes. This plan was better for the safety of the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 233 children. It was a more internal location. The developer would receive credit for the infrastructure. Parking and a field will be put in to enhance the area until the school can be constructed. Cm. Burton asked about day care and if the School District was going into day care? Ms. Howland responded that day care was already available at all the schools in Dublin. Cm. Lockhart expressed her appreciation to the Planning Commission for their role as devil's advocate. She felt the Staff had also done a good job in answering their questions. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council approved · RESOLUTION NO. 07 - 97 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND APPROVING PA 97-004 DUBLIN RANCH PHASE I CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A MINOR MODIFICATION TO THE APPROVED DUBLIN RANCH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO RELOCATE THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE Mayor Houston directed Public Works Director Lee Thompson to present the Staff Reports for Items 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 together. Separate Public hearings would then be held on each item and separate motions would be made for each item. PUBLIC HEARING - CITYWIDE STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 83~ 1 7:45 p.m. 6.3 (360-50) Mr. Thompson stated that for Fiscal Year 1997-98, the Citywide Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 83-1 for a single-family house was estimated to be $13.26 and the assessment for a commercial property is $72.93 multiplied by the acreage of the property. This is the same level as the 1996-97 assessment. He indicated that the 1996-97 assessment had been reduced from the 1995-96 level by 30%. Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 234 Mayor Houston closed the public hearing.

Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing.

DUBLIN BOULEVARD/HANSEN DRIVE TRAFFIC ISSUES 7:50 p.m. 7,1 (590~40) Staff Report was presented by Public Works Director Lee Thompson. At its City Council meeting of May 20, 1997, the Council directed Staff to include the traffic signal as a capital improvement project for review in the upcoming Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and return to the Council on June 3rd with a proposed design and impacts of installing an all-way stop at this intersection; trim or remove shrubbery at the northwest corner to improve visibility; install additional right-turn arrows for the westbound to northbound direction, and provide a recommendation regarding installation of rumble CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 236 strips on Dublin Boulevard approaching the intersection from the west to slow traffic in advance of the stop sign. Christopher Kinzel, (the young one) of TJKM, reviewed the impacts of installing an all- way stop at this location. 1) The side traffic on Hansen Drive would be able to enter Dublin Boulevard without long delays. 2) The need for removal of parking on Dublin Boulevard due to sight distance restriction would be reduced. 3) This intersection would become a five-way stop due to the two driveways on the south side of the intersection (DeSilva-Gates & Hexel), which could complicate the assignment of right-of-way. 4) It is expected that there will be an increase in rear-end accidents on Dublin Boulevard especially on the eastbound (downhill) direction. 5) It is anticipated that at the two peak traffic periods for Valley Christian School, traffic will back up to Donlon Way on the east and Silvergate Drive to the west. The installation of rumble strips was not recommended because they could create a considerable amount of noise which would disturb residents along the north side of Dublin Boulevard between Silvergate Drive and Hansen Drive. In the past, rumble strips that have been installed have ultimately been removed because of noise complaints. Staff and TJKM had a real concern about an all-way stop sign at this location and recommended that the installation of a traffic signal be pursued, increased visibility of site be done, and a stop sign not be installed. Cm. Burton felt if the signal was installed, a lot of money would be spent to put in the signals which would need to be changed later with the road widening. Mr. Kinzel indicated the signals could be designed to accommodate as much as possible the future plans. Cm. Burton stated that there had not been problems with the stop signs at Silvergate. He asked about the timeframe for installing the signal. Mr. Thompson responded 7 to 8 months would be required to have in it in place. It takes two months to design, six weeks to go to bid and award, and three one-half to four months to build it. The City has the funding for the signals, but it does not have the funding for the widening. Cm. Lockhart asked about the timeline for the widening. Mr. Thompson indicated it would be contingent upon the timing for Schaefer Ranch to come in as they will become the next major contributor. Cm. Burton suggested extending Hansen Drive out to the stop sign so there would be better visibility up hill, but he realized that the crosswalk would be a problem. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 237 Mr. Kinzel indicated the crosswalk was already sticking out pass the handicap ramp so that if the stop sign was extended much further out, the pedestrian would have to walk behind the car. Cm. Lockhart stated she was in favor of the stop light. She felt school traffic would not be an issue during the summer. She hadn't realized it would take seven to eight months to install the signal. She was concerned about putting in the stop signs. Mayor Houston stated that Mary Wallin had been sideswiped recently and her car had been totaled. He felt it was dangerous and he wanted to slow everything down. He did not believe the Council could wait seven months. Cm. Howard wanted to make certain that additional arrows were painted on Dublin Boulevard further down to notify drivers of the right turn lane onto Hansen Drive. Mayor Houston asked how long it would take to install the arrows. Mr. Thompson responded two weeks. Cm. Lockhart requested that the Police provide closer enforcement of the area. On motion of Mayor Houston, seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 71 -97 APPROVAL OF STOP SIGNS ON DUBLIN BOULEVARD AT THE INIEIISEt~IION OF HANSEN DRIVE directed Staff to not eliminate the parking on Dublin Boulevard, to paint additional arrows designating the right turn onto Hansen Drive from Dublin Boulevard, and to immediately begin design on a traffic signal at this intersection. PUBLIC HEARING ~ ORDINANCE REVISING THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGULATIONS 8:I3 p.m. 6.6 (450-20) Staff Report was presented by Community Development Director Eddie Peabody. He indicated that this was the second reading of the proposed Ordinance revising the Planned Development District Regulations to allow a staged process where a general "Stage 1 Development Plan" is applied to the entire project and specific "Stage 2 Development Plans" are applied to portions of the project when development is about to CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 238 occur. A minimum 4 acre site would be required for a Planned Development. The Community Development Director, as well as the Planning Commission, would be able to approve minor amendments to a Development Plan. The Ordinance had been introduced at the May 20, 1997 City Council meeting. Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. Cm. Lockhart asked for a clarification on appeals which appeared on page 3 of the Ordinance. What if the Community Development Director and the Planning Commission did not agree? Mr. Peabody indicated that if it was minor changes, the Community Development Director would make the decision. But all decisions are always appealable and could come to the Council if there was a conflict. George Zika, 8046 Peppertree, had one concern. He asked about the definition of "minor amendments." He explained that when he had been a member of the Planning Commission, there had been a problem in regard to a daycare facility. The question had arisen on whether two cars should be parked in the garage and not allow the garage to be used as part of the daycare facility. The property owner was subsequently allowed to convert the garage under "minor amendments" which was totally against what the Planning Commission had directed. Mr. Peabody read Sect,'on $-$1.8: "Amendments. The Director of Community Development by administrative action and or the Planning Commission by means ora Cond~'tionaI use Permit may approve minor amendments to an adopted Development Plan upon a finch'rig that the minor amendment substantially complies w~th and does not materially change the provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance for the site." Mayor Houston requested Mr. Peabody give an example of a minor amendment. Mr. Peabody indicated that in a Planned Development Zone, the site plan configuration of a road might need to be moved slightly. Staff could make the adjustment as long as it did not change the circulation. He also indicated that a review of the public record would be conducted in order to comply with the original intent of any conditions. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council waived the reading and adopted CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 239 ORDINANCE NO. 14 - 97 REVISING THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGULATIONS PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO INCLUSIONARY ZONING ORDINANCE AND REVISION TO METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF THE IN-LIEU FEE 8:20 p.m. 6.7 (450~20) Staff Report was presented by Community Development Director Eddie Peabody. On May 20, 1997, the City Council introduced the revised Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance and approved a Resolution for determining the amount of the In-Lieu Fee. The proposed amendments to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance address the timing of payment of in- lieu fees, the means of their calculation, and the amount of funds realized. Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 15 - 97 AMENDING CHAPTER 8.24 OF THE DUBLIN MUNICIPAL CODE, THE INCLUSlONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE, TO ALLOW PAYMENT OF AN IN-LIEU FEE FOR EACH DWELLING UNIT AT THE TIME THE BUILDING PERMIT IS ISSUED FOR THAT DWELLING UNIT PUBLIC HEARING ~ ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW BUS STOPS ON EXISTING ROUTES ON REGIONAL STREET AND SAN RAMON ROAD 8:22 p.m. 6.8 (1060-20) Staff Report was presented by Public Works Director Lee Thompson. This is the second reading of a proposed ordinance that was introduced at the May 20, 1997 City Council meeting. At that meeting, Cm. Burton indicated that LAVTA Staff had not advised its Board of the proposed new bus stops prior to requesting that the City adopt the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 240 Ordinance. He also wanted to know the reason for these specific locations. LAVTA Staff informed City Staff that generally the bus routing, fares, and service design were presented to the LAVTA Board for review and approval, but these specific proposed bus stop locations had not been presented to the Board. The stop on San Ramon Road is the formalization of a stop currently being used by bus drivers as a restroom stop at the Chevron Station. The two stops proposed for Regional Street are replacements for those which were eliminated on Dublin Boulevard at Golden Gate Drive. He indicated that there was a member from the LAVTA Staff in the audience if the Council had any questions. Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. Cm. Burton stated that he really got on the LAVTA Staff because LAVTA should always consult with the City before proposing locations and bus stops. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 16 - 97 ESTABLISHING BUS STOPS ON EXISTING ROUTES ON REGIONAL STREET AND SAN RAMON ROAD IIII III I I I REQUEST GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY FOR SHEA BUSINESS PROPERTIES 8:24 p.m. 8.1 (420-30) Staff Report was presented by Community Development Director Eddie Peabody. The site had been rezoned on June 26, 1996 from M-l, Light Industrial to PD Single Family as part of the Trumark Project. At the eleventh hour, the project collapsed. Shea Business Properties is proposing to construct 209 apartments on a 8.9 acre property. The current General Plan designation on this site is "Medium Density Residential," which permits 6.1 to 14.0 dwelling units per acre and allows duplexes, townhouses, and garden apartment developments. The applicant has requested a General Plan Amendment study to change to "Medium High Density Residential" which would permit 14.1 to 25.0 dwelling units per acre. Cm. Burton asked if all the hearings would be waived or would the applicant have to go through the whole process again. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 241 Mr. Peabody explained that the entire process will need to be conducted including hearings. He was hopeful that some of the baseline work already done could be utilized with some minor changes. Cm. Burton stated this was a good location On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Barnes absent), the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 72 - 97 INITIATING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY FOR THE SHEA BUSINESS PROPERTIES PROJECT OTHER BUSINESS 8:27 p.m. Speeding on Dougherty Road (590-30) Cm.

Lockhart felt there was a need for a City of Dublin/Dublin Unified School District Liaison meeting. Dublin Pride Week advance planning and coordination and a recycling program with Alameda County to support the School District would be two topics to be discussed. Dublin/Pleasanton Liaison Meeting (610-05) Cm. Lockhart indicated she had received an informal request from Pleasanton for a Dublin/Pleasanton Liaison Meeting. Mayor Houston asked what the topic would be. Cm. Lockhart responded West Dublin BART Station and the traffic fee. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 16 REGULAR MEETING June 3, 1997 PAGE 242 Mayor Houston suggested the representatives coordinate their schedules. ~,t/ Tri~Valley Council Meeting (140~80) Cm.

Burton announced that a circus would be held at Camp Parks on June 14th and June 15th and was being sponsored by the Rotary Club. On.June 14th at about 7:00 a.m., they would be using elephants to put up the tents. It is also Flag Day and his birthday so at 6:30 a.m., the Army always raises a flag for his birthday. Dougherty Road & Shady Creek Area (590~30) Mayor Houston had received a complaint from a citizen about the speeding along Dougherty Road and the problem of making a left turn into the Shady Creek area. Sometimes it took 15 minutes of waiting to make the turn. He requested that Staff work with City of San Ramon. Lt. Farruggia indicated that one of the new Police personnel will be assigned to the day shift Which would free up Personnel for more traffic enforcement. Helicopter Demonstration (590~90) Cm. Burton indicated he had attended the helicopter demonstration provided by Alameda County Sheriffs Department. He was disappointed that only one Dublin City Councilmember was present.
