Government Code Section 65402 (a) requires the Planning Commission to review the proposed acquisition of property for conformance with the City's General Plan. On June 16,2006, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 06-14 finding that those projects covered in the adopted General Plan as part of the 2006-2011 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to be consistent with the adopted City of Dublin General Plan. The City Council subsequently adopted the CIP on June 13, 2006. Since adoption of the 2006-2011 CIP, an additional project has been proposed for Fiscal Year 2006-2007; the Dublin Historic Park Acquisition. Consequently it will be necessary for the City Council to amend the 2006-2011 CIP (anticipated for September 19, 2006). Prior to amending the 2006-2011 CIP to include the Dublin Historic Park Acquisition project, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to determine that the proposed project is consistent with the City of Dublin General Plan. In addition, because the Dublin Historic Park Acquisition project, proposed to be included in the 2006- 2011 CIP, includes the acquisition of real property, the Planning Commission must determine whether such acquisition is consistent with the General Plan.

This action changed the General Plan land use designation of the Dublin Square Shopping Center from RetaiVOffice to ParksIPublic Recreation and became effective on August 31, 2006. Additionally, at the August 1, 2006 meeting, the City Council adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, May 2006 Update (Resolution 150-06) and the Dublin Historic Park Master Plan (Resolution 151-06). In order to proceed with acquisition of the Dublin Square Shopping Center for the future Dublin Historic Park, the City Council on August 15,2006 authorized the City Attorney to secure appraisal services of the property at such time that Resolution 149-06 is effective (August 31, 2006). The Dublin Historic Park Acquisition project includes costs related to: I) appraisal of the land; 2) goodwill appraisals; 3) furniture/fixtures/equipment appraisal; 4) relocation costs (assistance and benefits); 5) fair market value for the land; and 6) potential loss of business goodwill. These costs are for the acquisition of the property known as the Dublin Square Shopping Center (APN 941-1560-007-01, Attachment I which includes a parcel map). GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY: The proposed CIP project provides for the acquisition of the Dublin Square Shopping Center for the future Dublin Historic Park. As noted on the previous page, the City Council on August 1,2006 approved a General Plan Amendment and the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan which changed the General Plan land use designation of the Dublin Square Shopping Center from RetaiVOffice to ParksIPublic Recreation. The Council also adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan May 2006 Update and the Dublin Historic Park Master Plan. The Dublin Historic Park Acquisition project is in conformance with the City of Dublin General Plan, as amended on August 1, 2006, and the acquisition of the Dublin Square Shopping Center property is consistent with the General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) were prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines, to identify and analyze impacts of the implementation of the Dublin Historic Park project. The project description for the IS/MND included the acquisition, demolition of the existing buildings, and construction of the park itself. A 30-day public review period for the IS/MND began May 31, 2006 and ended June 30, 2006. The IS/MND was sent to the State Clearinghouse and was disseminated to all appropriate State agencies. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared because it was determined, through the review process, that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of the proposed mitigation measures. The IS/MND was adopted by the City Council on August 1, 2006. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recomqlends that the Planning Commission adopt the Resolution finding the Dublin Historic Park Acquisition project proposed for addition to the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 capital improvement budget within the 2006-2011 Capital Improvement Program to be consistent with the General Plan and find the acquisition of the Dublin Square Shopping Center consistent with the General Plan.
