new multifamily projects ~fmore than ten units be maintained as rental units for a,period offive years.
At the March 12, 199q City Council meeting, information was presented regarding the City's current rental
housing situation. After considering the information presented, the City Council determined that the
City's objective regarding rental housing availability is being 'met by the housing market, and that the
Rental Availability Ordinance is no longer necessary. The Council \directed staff to begin proceedings
to repeal the Ordinance. The repeal of this Ordinance will ,also require an amendment to the Housing
Element of the Dublin General Plan, to maintain consistency. '

I
the Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve a Negative Declaration of
