PUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing Proposed Ordinance Repealing and Replacing the Density Bonus Regulations 7:23 p.m. 6.1 (610-20) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 66 Senior Planner Jeff Baker and Associate City Attorney Leah Peachey presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider adopting an Ordinance repealing Chapter 8.52 of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) and adding Chapter 8.52 of the Dublin Municipal Code related to Density Bonus Regulations. Mayor Lockhart asked if, regarding the Child Care facility issue, did it have to be in operation for the State-mandated 30 years or could it be a different number of years. Associate City Attorney Peachey replied it did have to be 30 years because the restriction term for the moderate, low and very low income units was also 30 years. The Council and Staff discussed the bond and pro forma required to guarantee the child care facility operated for 30 years, and the possibility of City Staff working with any interested party to make the requirements less prohibitive. The process should not be so cumbersome as to discourage interest. City Attorney Elizabeth Silver clarified the Density Bonus would only apply if a developer proposed the maximum number of units. Cm. Sbranti asked if any developer had taken advantage of the City's current Density Bonus and what were the differences, now, versus the proposed regulations. Senior Planner Baker stated that to-date only one developer had taken advantage of the Density Bonus and that was at Fairway Ranch. Associate City Attorney Peachey stated the differences were mainly in relation to the amount of units that triggered the Density Bonus and the incremental increases for each density bonus. The qualifying lower income restriction was presently between 15% and 20%, and the proposed percentage was 10%. The maximum allowable Density Bonus was presently 25% and the proposed percentage was 35%. City Attorney Silver added that the concept of the Density Bonus had not changed; the State legislature was just revising it. With the Fairway Ranch project there had been an additional 186 units as a result of the Density Bonus. The total project was 930 units. Cm. Scholz asked if, in relation to dispersion throughout the development and size, the units in the Density Bonus had to be similar to the market rate units. Associate City Attorney Peachey confirmed that the Density Bonus units did have to be similar to the market rate units. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 67 No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED the Ordinance repealing Chapter 8.52 of the Dublin Municipal Code and Adding Chapter 8.52 of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) relating to Density Bonus Regulations. . Public Hearing Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Scarlett Drive/Iron Horse Trail Extension Project and Authorize Preparation of Proposed Alignment of Public Improvements 7:41 p.m. 6.2 (820-90) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Melissa Morton presented the Staff Report and advised that a Mitigated Negative Declaration had been prepared for the Capital Improvement Program Project, Scarlett Drive/Iron Horse Trail Extension. This project would extend Scarlett Drive, and relocate and enhance a portion of the Iron Horse Trail as a connection between Dougherty Road and Dublin Boulevard (within the old Southern Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way corridor). Natalina Bernardi, Principle at BKF Engineers, presented an overview of the Scarlett Drive Improvement project which included the objectives of the project, project elements and a summary of the environmental document that supported the project. John Schwarz, Principle Project Manager, DavidJ. Powers and Associates, Inc., presented a brief overview of the approach and findings of the environmental analysis for this project. Mayor Lockhart asked specifically about the feedback received from the Army regarding the project. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 68 Mr. Schwarz stated the Army intended to enter into land discussions with another entity, and anticipated disposing of, or trading, the property required by the City before the City's project was started. Because the source of funding for the project would not be federal, and by then the land would not be federally owned, there would be no need for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review. The required documentation would be different if the land was still owned by the Army, if and when acquired by the City. Mayor Lockhart asked if the Army had given any timeframe for their anticipated land deal. Public Works Director Morton stated that the issuance of the NEP A document to declare the property excess was due any time for public comment. The initial NEP A document was just that, discussion on the land swap. It was not a NEP A document to analyze the environmental impacts of a development project on the parcel. That would happen as part of the entitlement process. In addition, if for any reason the Army did not end up pursuing the land swap option, that process would be over in a reasonable timeframe as to pursue a NEP A document for the City to acquire the right-of-way. City Manager Ambrose clarified that this project would be funded by $5 million of Measure B Sales Tax Project funds and Traffic Impact Fees. Mayor Lockhart asked if agencies would get another opportunity to review the environment document. Public Works Director Morton responded that they would not have another opportunity, but if there were issues, they would be addressed as part of the regular regulatory permitting process. Rich Guarienti, Dublin resident, complimented Staff on a thorough environmental document. He expressed concern about putting creeks into tunnels and filling in drainage areas. He inquired as to why the City of Dublin did not have a land preservation bank. He believed the proposed mitigations of the project would minimize the impacts. He suggested the Iron Horse Trail be detoured at the same time work was being done by the City. City Manager Ambrose clarified that the trail was built by the County, not the City. Public Works Director Morton commented the entire project would be built at once and the trail would only be closed as needed. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 69 Gilbert Sacramento, Dublin resident on Scarlett Court, expressed his concern the project would have on safety, increased noise and the value of his home. He was also concerned there would be more traffic and noise, especially at night. He asked if there would be a traffic light at Houston Place and if there was a proposal to extend the road further north, away from the houses. He inquired about the proposed speed limit. Public Works Director Morton stated the design speed was 35 MPH, but could change based on traffic studies. The Mayor explained that the project had been in the works for seven years and the developer of nearby homes was informed of this and positioned the houses with the project in mind. With the added transit and landscaping, the value of homes in the area should increase. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. On motion of Vm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Oravetz and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 29 - 07 APPROVING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE SCARLETT DRIVE / IRON HORSE TRAIL EXTENSION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF A PRECISE PLAN ALIGNMENT OF THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS and authorized Staff to prepare a Precise Plan AIignment for the Scarlett Drive/Iron Horse Trail Extension between Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road for review and action by the Planning Commission and City Council. .. Public Hearing Peddlers and Solicitors Ordinance and Charitable Solicitation and Sales Ordinance 8:13 p.m. 6.3 (585-60) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. Associate City Attorney Leah Peachey presented the Staff Report and advised that a comprehensive update of the Dublin Municipal Code (DMC) was currently underway. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 70 This was a second review of Chapter 4.16 which established regulations related to peddlers and solicitors within the City of Dublin. The proposed Ordinances included the City Council's comments and direction provided to Staff at the February 6, 2007, meeting. Both Ordinances served the City's interest in protecting the public health, safety and welfare against unlawful activities or operations by fraudulent individuals and from criminal activity including fraud and burglary. Cm. Sbranti asked if someone dropping off unsolicited information at a home would need a permit. Associate Attorney Peachey confirmed that they would need a permit. City Attorney Silver added that the current Ordinance required a permit for anyone dropping off solicitation for sales. The Ordinance was enforced on a complaint basis and that had not changed. Cm. Scholz asked under what category political candidates soliciting signatures for election would fall. Associate Attorney Peachey responded that, as long as the candidate was not soliciting funds, the candidate would fall under the category of those persons engaged purely in First Amendment speech, and would not require a permit. Mayor Lockhart asked which category organizations that left cards soliciting charitable donations would fall. Associate Attorney Leah Peachey stated that the organization would fall into the Charitable Solicitation Ordinance. If the organization was from Dublin, they might have a more relaxed permit process; however, if they were not Dublin-based, they would be required to provide a letter from the organization seeking donations, vehicle description information, and a photo identification of each person going door-to-door soliciting donations. Dublin Police Services might not be as familiar with out of town organizations and this would help Police Services in issuing a permit. Vm. Hildenbrand asked if there would be community outreach to organizations regarding these new permit requirements. Senior Administrative Analyst Amy Cunningham stated that there would be outreach to schools and groups that were active in the community. Police Services had lists of area organizations. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 71 The Council and Staff discussed possibilities for blanket permits for Dublin school fundraisers, each school having to apply yearly, or not having to apply at all. Senior Administrative Analyst Cunningham stated that the Ordinance was written in a manner as to allow for any of the options mentioned by the Council. Cm. Sbranti suggested discussing the new permit requirements with the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) at an upcoming meeting. Mayor Lockhart asked if names and phone numbers would be on solicitor permits that might need to be provided to the public upon request. Senior Administrative Analyst Cunningham stated that phone numbers would not be on permits provided at the public's request, only on applications for such permits. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. On motion of Vm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Oravetz and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED the Ordinances Amending Chapter 4.16 of the Dublin Municipal Code relating to Peddlers and Solicitors; and Adding Chapter 4.18 to the Dublin Municipal Code Relating to Charitable Solicitation and Sales. .. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Campbell Green (formerly Village Green) Alternative Play Structures, PA03-058 8:45 p.m. 7.1 (350-20/410-30) Associate Planner Marnie Nuccio presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would review and consider an alternative play structure for a play dome for the Campbell Green (formerly Village Green) I-acre open space area located within Dublin Transit Center Site B 2, Avalon @ Dublin Station. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 72 On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm.

Hildenbrand advised that she owned a home across the street from the Area G Square and, as such, recused herself and left the dais. Cm. Sbranti also advised that he owned a home across the street from the Area G Square and, as such, recused himself and left the dais. Parks & Facilities Development Manager Herma Lichtenstein presented the Staff Report regarding the preferred AIternative for the 2-acre Neighborhood Square in Area G located at the intersection of Finnian Way and Chancery Way and advised that Staff was seeking approval of the plan and authorization to begin construction documents. Peter Callandar, Callander Associates, presented the design concepts that were initially shown to the Parks & Community Services Commission, as well as the Commission's preferred alternative. Mayor Lockhart asked if the proposed plantings would smell good, thus adding another dimension to the park. Parks and Facilities Development Manager Lichtenstein replied that they would. Staff would look later at the possibility and budgeting of an arbor and would bring it back to Council at the time of document approval. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by majority vote (em. Sbranti and Vm. Hildenbrand abstained), the City Council selected the recommended preferred alternative titled "Spherical Intersections"; and authorized Staff to prepare construction documents. .. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 73 RECESS 9:04 p.m. Mayor Lockhart called for a brief recess.

Dublin Pride - Integrity in Action Program 9:09 p.m. 7.3 (130-30) Parks & Community Services Director Lowart presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider the recommendation of the Parks and Community Services Commission on how the Dublin Pride - Integrity in Action program could be incorporated into City programs. Cm. Oravetz asked if there were other cities doing similar programs and if there was a way to measure the success of the program. Parks & Community Services Director Lowart confirmed that neighboring cities had similar programs and felt that the answer to the question of the ability to measure success should be addressed by those directly involved with the program. Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) Superintendent Stephen Hanke addressed the Council and recalled a recent experience of polite, respectful interactions with Dublin school children, in relation to witnessing success of the program. The Dublin Pride Committee had also discussed the ability to measure results and he would be willing to return at a later date to discuss the outcomes of the program. He thanked the City for partnering with the DUSD and wanted to support the recommendation of City Staff on this item and challenged the City, along with the DUSD, to stay involved with the committee and look for additional ways to incorporate the program into City programs. An important program like this deserved financial support from the City. Mayor Lockhart commented that she noticed a difference in the respectful actions of students at two Dublin schools she had recently visited. She also thanked those Councilmembers involved in the program. Vm. Hildenbrand commented that the program also helped with conflict resolution among students. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING March 6, 2007 PAGE 74 Cm. Sbranti stated that many City organizations supported the program and noted the integration of the program into youth sports. Cm. Oravetz asked for a report on measured results at the end of a designated period. The Council discussed the difficulty in being able to measure the success of such a program. The important fact was that it was a program in action. This program was trying to provide a community of character and incorporate it into the foundation of the learning of Dublin children, as well as adults. There would be ways to measure the program as it continued. On motion of Cm. Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by unanimous vote, the City Council directed Staff to implement the Dublin Pride - Integrity in Action program; and approved the Budget Change. .
