PUBLIC HEARING ADOPTION OF AN HISTORIC OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT AND DESIGN GUIDEUNES FOR TIlE DUBUN VILLAGE HISTORIC ARE1\ PA 02-074 7:16 p.m. 6.4 (910-40) Senior planner Kristi Bascom presented the Staff Report and advised that the Council will consider adopting a resolution approving the Dublin Village Historic Area Design Guidelines, as well as consider adopting an Ordinance creating a new Chapter 8.62 of the Dublin Municipal Code to create provisions for Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review, amending Chapter 8.104 ofthe Dublin Municipal Code relatins to Site Development Review, and amending the Zoning Map to create a new Historic Overlay Zoning District. This area has also been referred to as the Donlon Way Historic Area and consists of approximately 38 acres of land located northwest of San Ramon Road and Interstate 580. CotlSultant Bill Wiseman, Project Manager with RBF Consulting, reviewed the project's scope of work, project goals, and the key points of the Design Guideline. The project goals are to preserve and enhance the area, guide the design of future development, and improve the public realm. Cm. McCormick referred to the peripheral area of the historic area boundary -- around the Shell Station and the restaurant on the east side of San Ramon Road .. and asked if the City would have the opportunity to apply these guidelines if any of those businesses left or change hands. Ms. Bascom indicated that the Council included four properties east of San Ramon Road in the original moratorium area: the See's Candy site, the gas station site, the restaurant site and the now-vacant Bruner's site. As Staff worked with the Consultant to refine the design guidelines and architectural design for buildings that are remodeled in the historic area, the 1850's - 1920's era was settled on to replicate the existing buiIdings- the Old St. Raymond's, the Old Murray Schoolhouse, and the Green Store. Staff realized to apply those architectural guidelines to the four properties on the east side of San Ramon would make them look very odd with the buildings that surround them as the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 24 REGULAR MEETING January 18, 2005 PAGE 23 buildings were surrounded by contemporary 1960-1980's commercial buildings. Those properties were also more isolated from the cohesive historic core and to apply the design guidelines to them might look a little out of character. It was the recommendation of Staff, the Consultant and the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission to pull in the boundaries of the proposed Historic District to include only those properties west of San Ramon Road. As proposed by Staff, if any of those four properties east of San Ramon Road were to change hands or go through remodel, they would go through the standard City Site Development Review process and not be subject to the design guidelines, unless the Council opted to keep the original moratorium district boundaries. Cm. McCormick asked about park land in the area. Ms. Bascom advised that park land was going through a separate process, and the Council had authorized the appraisal of a few potential park sites. That project would continue outside these design guidelines. Cm. McCormick recommended that any play equipment in future area parks be in keeping with the style of 1850's. It would be a new experience for the children of Dublin. The Council and Staff discussed prospective park land in the historic area, and agreed that the Council would deal with the park issue when considering the Parks Master Plan Study in the next month or so. Geogeann Vonheeder-Leopold, Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, advised that the Commission was very pleased with the ultimate report prepared by the Consultant. The Consultant listened and heard what the Commission felt was important. Mayor Pro Tern Zika closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm. McCormick and by unanimous vote (Mayor Lockhart absent), the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 07 - 05 APPROVING TIlE DUBUN VIIJ.AGE HISTORIC AREA DESIGN GUIDELINES And waived the reading and INTRODUCED an Ordinance creating a new Chapter 8.62 of the Dublin Municipal Code to create provisions for Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review, amending Chapter 8.104 of the Dublin Municipal Code relating to Site Development Review, and amending the Zoning Map to create a new Historic Overlay Zoning District. ....

SOIJD WASTE COLLECTION TRANSITION AND CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS FRANCHISE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT 7:45 p.m. 7.Z (600-30) Senior Administrative Analyst Jason Behrmann presented the Staff Report and advised that, in order to assist Staff in monitoring all transition activities, contractual requirements and deadlines associated with the new Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Service Agreements, Staff had developed a Consulting Services Agreement with R3 Consulting Group. This Agreement also includes work associated with developing a non- exclusive construction and demolition debris franchise agreement. Cm. Oravetz asked if residents would receive new cans and, if so, would the receipt of new cans overlap with the old cans. Mr. ßerhmann advised that residents would receive three new cans, and there may be some overlap before the old cans were picked up. The Consultants will help to make the transition as smooth and quick as possible. On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote (Mayor Lockhart absent), the Council adopted CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 24 REGULAR MEETING January 18, 2005 PAGE 25 RESOLUTION NO. 08 - 05 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH R3 CONSULTING GROUP FOR SOUD WASTE FRANCHISE TRANsmON AND CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLmON DEBRIS FRANCHISE SERVICES And approved a Budget Change in the amount of $55,890 from Unappropriated Recycling Fund Reserves. .. CITY OF UVERMORE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT EXPANSION AND UVERMORE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITfEE nNAL RECOMMENDATION 7:49 p.m. 7.3 (420-50) Planning Manager Jeri Ram presented the Staff Report and advised that the Airport Advisory Committee appointed by the Livermore City Council has made its final recommendation on the Livermore Municipal Airport Master Plan 2004 Update and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. This item will be heard before the Livermore City Council on January 31, 2005. A draft letter has been prepared for the Dublin City Council's consideration. Mayor Pro Tern Zika thanked Gabe Naverrette, of Sybase, and David Froio, citizen-at- large, for representing Dublin with him on the Livermore Airport Master Plan Update Advisory Committee. They did a great job. He advised that Livermore wanted to expand its airport, but could not demonstrate a need to expand. He discussed noise and environmental concerns and expressed a desire to have an Environmental Impact Review completed for the proposed expansion. The Council discussed its concerns related to the proposed airport expansion, and the concerns expressed by the residents of Dublin. They agreed that it was important to let the City of Livermore know about its concerns regarding the negative impact an airport expansion would have on the environment, as well as to the citizens of Dublin. On motion of Cm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Oravetz and by unanimous vote (Mayor Lockhart absent), the Council authorized the Mayor to sign the proposed letter and directed Staff to send the executed letter to the Mayor of the City of Livermore. .. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 24 REGULAR MEETING January 18, 2005 PAGE 26 ST. PATRICK'S DAY POSTER ARTWORK AND ROAD CLOSURES 8:00 p.m. 8.1 (950-40) Parks and Community Services Manager Paul McCreary presented the Staff Report and advised that the ZZnd Annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration is scheduled for the weekend of March 1 Z-13, Z005. Staff asked the Council to consider proposed artwork for the event poster, as well as adopt a resolution authorizing closure of the streets for the events. The festival will be held on Amador Valley Boulevard between Regional Street and Donohue Drive, including the eastern half of the Shamrock Village Shopping Center parking lot. The Council discussed the proposed artwork, which was different than in years past. Although they liked the concept, they felt the poster looked somewhat cluttered. The lack of options was also a concern. In the past, they have always had a choice of three. Mr. McCreary advised that Staff would streamline the proposed poster to make it less cluttered, and indicated that Staff hoped to use the same concept in years to come by updating the photos annually. On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote (Mayor Lockhart absent), the Council approved the proposed al1work for the Z005 St. Patrick's Day poster; and adopted RESOLUTION NO. 09 - 05 AUTIlORIZING TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURES FOR TIlE 2005 ST.

The Council discussed the request and advised that they were reluctant to take a stand without more information. The Council agreed to continue the item to the February 1, Z005, Council meeting, and directed Staff to prepare a Staff Report that included a legislative analysis, the League of California Cities' stance on the issue, as well as a list of other cities either supporting or opposing the request. .

The County of Alameda has received the final figures from HUD for distribution of CDBG funds to the Urban County Cities, including Dublin. This year the County received $64,646 less in CDBG funds for distribution. This reduction resulted in Dublin receiving $93,505; $5,603 less than the amount received last year. Ms. Abdala noted a typo in the Staff Report, and advised that Staff was recommending that Bay Area Community Services receive $5,000, not $0 as reflected in the body the Staff Report. The Council and Staff discussed the Request for Proposals (UP) process, which follows strict requirements for qualification. UP's are distributed to an extensive list of non- profit organizations, which has been compiled over the year. The RFP is also printed in the local newspaper, as well as posted on the City's website. Marlene Petersen, Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley outlined her non-profit's mission and thanked the Council for their sponsorship. Funds received from Dublin are life-altering for seniors.

The three names being considered are: Merrion Square (or Commons); Galway Terrace (or Commons); or Killaerney Commons.

McCormick advised that Dublin's Sister City delegates will be here in March and will be visiting that site on their tour of Dublin. On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm.
