The Dublin City Council adopted two resolutions in 2008 approving the proposed new fees increases, which would have gone into effect on July 1, 2010, across all land use categories. Because any change to the fees required unanimous approval and because one of the member agencies did not approve the new fee structure, the proposed fee increase was never formally adopted by MC.

The Planned Development Zoning District for the Sierra/Trinity Business Park was overly restrictive and therefore placed a burden on the current property owner by restricting the types of businesses that could locate on the site. In order to expand the allowable uses on the site, the City Council would provide Staff with direction regarding a proposed amendment to the Planned Development Zoning District for the Sierra/Trinity Business Park. Dwane Berry, representative of the property owners (WCV Commercial Properties), stated that this would allow more flexibility in the types of businesses currently zoned. Mr. Berry also stated that, over the last year, they had lost approximately five rental leases due to the specific zoning currently in place. Assistant City Manager Chris Foss stated that the City would have turned down additional businesses for leasing in this area as well due to zoning restrictions.
