DESCRIPTION:
On May 4, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 53-10 approving a Letter Agreement with
the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) for the Administration of Unused Sewer
Capacity for the City of Dublin. '
Commonly referred to as the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program, the Program allows the City
to market its excess sewer capacity as an economic .development incentive program to help
stimulate economic growth in the community. The Program is designed to support large and
small businesses and encourage the recruitment, renovation or re-use of properties in Dublin.
The Program allows the City to provide a credit of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the
DSRSD connection fees that would otherwise be paid by the applicant.
The City Council is being asked to consider a request from Matthew Scanlan, President of
Bratts Entertainment, Inc. to participate in the program. Bratts Entertainment is exploring their
options relating to the financing of additional sewer capacity requirements for a proposed new
entertainment venue called Star Lanes; which combines bowling with an upscale lounge/sports
bar experience. The proposed project, located at 6075 Amador Plaza Road (the former Good
Guys location), would meet with the intent of the new Downtown Specific Plan's Guiding
Principles, in that it encourages businesses that support evening activities for adults and
teenagers.
Through the Program, the City would be able to assist Mr. Scanlan with approximately $45,000
in fees of the $180,000 in sewer capacity fees. Of the remaining balance of fees, Mr. Scanlan
could finance $100,000 through DSRSD's financing program and pay the remaining balance.
Mr. Scanlan has submitted his application for a Minor Use Permit and a Conditional Use Permit
to the Community Development Department to process the proposed indoor recreation use and
the parking standard respectively. Mr. Scanlan's participation in the Program would: be subject ~
to the approvals necessary to operate his business at the proposed location.
Staff is seeking City Council direction at this time before investing a significant amount of Staff
time and associated legal fees in drafting the necessary agreements. If the City Council
desires, Staff will work with Mr. Scanlan, the property owner and the Dublin San Ramon
Services District to draft the agreements and will bring back the agreements for City Council
action at a future date. .
