It had come in at 1.48%. What did that mean in actua/ dol/ars? Administrative Services Director Paul Rankin stated that, at this time, Staff had not calculated that figure because it was a/so dependent on the balances. The ba/ances that the City was carrying were higher than what the original budget projected. That would be part of the mid- year review. Vm. Hart asked what the yield was during the second quarter in 2008? Mr. Rankin stated he did not remember. City Manager Pattillo stated she would supply that information to the City Council in a follow-up. She also wanted to call to the City Council's attention that in 2009-2010, the yield to maturity was 2.55%. As recognized by Vm. Hart, it was significantly higher than the 1.78% in the report.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 5 VOLUME 30 ,~oF~,~ REGULAR MEETING 19i~~~~~ FEBRUARY 1, 2011 ~\ ~ ~f GLIFOR~~~ U1 ~~ ~ DRAFT Principal Planner Kristi Bascom presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) and associated implementation actions. The DDSP consisted of a comprehensive set of guiding principles, standards, and design guidelines that would implement the vision for future development in Downtown Dublin. In addition to the DDSP, several amendments were proposed to the General Plan and the Dublin Zoning Ordinance to implement the Specific Plan. Upon approval of the Zoning Ordinance Amendments, properties in the DDSP project area would be rezoned from various Planned Development Zoning Districts to a new Downtown Dublin Zoning District. Certification of a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was also being considered. Mayor Sbranti asked if there was a development pool for Village Parkway if someone wanted to intensify that particular part of the district. Ms. Bascom stated that many of the properties on Village Parkway were not built up to their base Floor Area Ration (FAR). There was still some room for people to intensify. Village Parkway was always envisioned as a more low-density, main street-type feel. With the existing Village Parkway Specific Plan, there was a maximum height limit of 35 feet, two-story which did not allow for a lot of additional development beyond the 0.35 FAR. Through outreach with the property owners and tenants in that area, there did not seem to be a desire for a great intensification on Village Parkway. Mayor Sbranti stated that with the other two districts, those also increased by right, as did Village Parkway. The average FAR was at 0.23. That increased it by right. But in the other base FAR, it also increased the maximum FAR that they could go up to. There was so much on the west side of Village Parkway. There was a substantial amount of area in the back of the street. What would be the process, at some later date, if someone came forward with a proposal? Would that go through the Planning Commission or the City Council to consider? Or if it went above 0.35 FAR, what would happen? Ms. Bascom stated the maximum FAR was 0.35, so if someone were to propose something different than that, they would be proposing an amendment to the Specific Plan. If it stayed within 0.35 FAR and they wanted to redevelop their site, the DDSP had been set up so that the zoning was all in place, as was the General Plan, and the Specific Plan designation. All they would need to do to move forward was to apply for a site development review application which would go to the Planning Commission. Mayor Sbranti asked if "new auto" was only allowed with a Conditional Use Permit, in all districts. Ms. Bascom stated that was correct. ~The City Council discussed the west side of Village Parkway and the set backs of the buildings and the amount of space behind the buildings. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 6 VOLUME 30 ~~OFDUe~ REGULAR MEETING r;~~~~~ FEBRUARY 1, 2011 `~ ~ /~ ~`1LIFOR~~ ~i DRAFT Mayor Sbranti stated this space should be monitored. City Manager Pattillo stated that the document would need another environmental review if there were to be changes. Cm. Hildenbrand stated there had been time to identify this as issue and do it then. She did not know why the City Council was discussing it now. City Manager Pattillo stated one of the points she understood from the City Council's discussion in particular, was that there was a pathway, in the future if there was an opportunity, of being able to modify the Downtown Specific Plan. If it were to be modified tonight, it would need to go back out for environmental review. Mayor Sbranti asked Ms. Bascom to elaborate on how this development pool helped the pedestrian orientation of the Downtown. Ms. Bascom stated the development pool was the difference between the base FAR and the maximum FAR. To see buildings of this height built in the future, in the Downtown, would be a big change for the community. However, the permitted building heights were taken from the existing Specific Plan. Clearly, there were no eight story buildings near the BART Station or six story buildings in the retail district, but that was technically what was permitted in the existing Specific Plan. The emphasis in allowing the larger development pool in the Transit-Oriented District in particular, was to encourage more residential development in the area immediately adjacent to the BART Station. FAR was defined as the ratio of square footage .that was developed on the site to the site size. Most of the development pool was focused in the Transit- Oriented area in order to encourage a greater intensity of development near the BART Station, as well as the Retail District to allow a greater intensity of commercial development. Dublin's Downtown Core commercial district, right now, had a good amount of square footage and parking areas. By allowing a higher FAR, it would hopefully intensify and allow more development to fill the underutilized areas currently in Dublin. Janet Lockhart, Dublin resident, stated the City did not need to re-do the plan for Village Parkway. Things will start to change. As transition came into the area, there could be a parking structure behind the buildings along 680, maybe even residential over business. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. ~ The City Council commented on the opportunity of the Downtown Plan. It was a good blue print and thorough process. It was innovative.

After considerable deliberations on the second evening, the Committee concluded that in light of the unresolved state budget crisis, funding prioritization for food, shelter and medical services would best meet the current needs of the Dublin community. This year, in accordance with the Committee's priorities, certain agencies would receive fulf funding. In addition, the Committee recommended funding two CDBG eligible programs with $14,000 in Community Support Grant Funding, which would be discussed at the City Council Budget Study Session on March 7, 2011. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 8 VOLUME 30 G`,~q~~F ~ REGULAR MEETING ~n ~i,~ ,a FEBRUARY 1, 2011 '~~~~~~ G~iPOC~~'`° 6~ ~ ,~ DRAFT Vm. Hart asked why the City was considering using CDBG funds for the Concrete Curb Cuts and Sidewalk Ramps. Ms. Burkett stated it was an eligible use of CDBG funding. It was a Capital Improvement Project. City Manager Pattillo stated the City had trouble in the past getting structural projects and this was one of the areas that was most applicable to CDBG funding. Vm. Hart asked if this would be taking funds away from other uses. Ms. Burkett stated there was a balance befinreen the and Service Based organizations that the City coul funding a Capital Improvement Project, it would help County would look at all applications for CDBG fror exceeded that 15%. The City did not know that yet. City not exceed that percentage. number of Capital Improvement Projects I fund. The percentage was 15%. By the City to not exceed that amount. The ~ the urban County Cities to see if they Funding a Capital Project would help the Cm. Hildenbrand stated she and Cm. Swalwell, when considering funding, focused on housing, food and basic needs for the community. The Capital Project funding made sense since YMCA was moving here and providing these types of services. Mayor Sbranti asked how long the City would be eligible for these funds. City Manager Pattillo stated when the City signed on with the County for a three year agreement, which would end in 2012, the City did not know where it would be with population projections. There was a subcommittee formed by the City Council as an exploratory component. With the census data now, the City might still look at a cost benefit analysis to see if the County should still oversee the City's program. The funds associated with CDBG have been on the decline. That would be a decision point that would come back to the City Council. There would also be a community component. Mayor Sbranti stated when he was in Washington D.C., there was talk of ending out the CDBG program altogether. The City needed to monito.r this and the results of the Needs Assessment. The City might want to consider the Human Services Task Force. On motion of Vm. Swalwell, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote, the City Council approved the Committee's recommendation to fund the following agencies; directed Staff to submit applications to the Alameda County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for $88,100 in CDBG funding for Fiscal Year 2011-2012; Axis Community Health - Medical Enrollment Assistance, $10,000; Bay Area Community Services - Valley Creative Living Center, $10,000; CRIL - Housing Services, $6,300; Open Heart Kitchen - Lunch and Hot Meals Program, $10,000; Senior Support Program - Case Management, $7,800; Spectrum Community Services - Meals on Wheels, $6,165; YMCA - Curb Cuts and ~ DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 9 VOLUME 30 G`~~OF Dpe~y REGULAR MEETING rn ~ir ~~~ FEBRUARY 1, 2011 '~~~~~~~ ~dGIFOR~~~ ~o ~ ~I DRAFT Sidewalk Ramps, $10,135; Housing Rehabilitation (administered by the County), $15,673; Annual Contribution toward Sojourner House, $5,427; Program Administration, $6,600; TOTAL: $88,100; and should there be an increase in funds, Staff recommended equally funding Senior Support services and CRIL services up to their maximum amounts requested because the other service organizations had already been allocated the amount requested in their application. Any remaining increase could go towards the YMCA curb and sidewalk project. Should there be a decrease; Staff recommended the decrease be evenly distributed between the programs that do not have mandatory set amounts. . ~ NEW BUSINESS Grant Aqreement with the YMCA of the East Bay 8:29:17 PM 8.1 (600-30) Economic Development Director Linda Maurer presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council was being asked to approve a multi-year grant agreement in the total amount of $400,000 for the YMCA of the East Bay to assist in defraying costs associated with the operation and administration of programs and activities at their new Dublin location. Kelly Dulka, Executive Director of the YMCA, stated this space was significantly larger than where they were now. This new space would allow for more programs. The City Council welcomed the YMCA to Dublin. On motion of Cm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Biddle and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 10 - 11 APPROVING A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE YMCA OF THE EAST BAY and approved the Budget Change. ~ Jordan Ranch - General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Speci~c Plan Amendment Studv Initiation Request 8:37:18 PM 8.2 (420-30) Planning Consultant Mike Porto presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider whether to initiate a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 10 VOLUME 30 ,~oP~ REGULAR MEETING rn~ ~i'i~ ~~~ FEBRUARY 1, 2011 '~~~~~~ Gc~ ~,m I ~o~ ~~ DRAFT Study to modify the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan by reducing the number of dwelling units from 780 to 751, placing an underlying Land Use Designation on the Elementary School Site of Medium Density Residential, changing a portion of the Open Space Land Use designation to create a 4.3 acre retail commercial site, eliminating the 2.0 acre Semi-Public Site and revising the adjacent 5.2 acre Medium-High Density residential area to all Medium Density Residential, and eliminating the Mixed-use Designation and replacing it with a Medium-High Density Residential Land Use Designation for the site known as Jordan Ranch. Cm. Hildenbrand asked what would be going into the site to be designated commercial. Kevin Fryer, Mission Valley Properties, stated the concept of commercial was generated by a significant amount of review and study and consideration of the existing plan there, and the mixed-use element of the neighborhood square. They had long been concerned about the viability of the site as a retail site in the future, even at ultimate buildout, because of its isolation from a significant transportation corridor. They were looking for a non-residential retail use because it had good exposure and a decent amount of traffic, especially as things progressed with the Sport Park, the buildout of Positano and the continuous improvement of everything happening in the area. Even with Fallon Gateway project starting, they felt there was still great opportunity here. Cm. Hildenbrand asked what he meant by "neighborhood serving commercial". Mr. Fryer stated that meant anything up to 35,000 to 40,000 square feet of retail. This could be a small grocery, drug store, or food services, what had been envisioned around the neighborhood square previously. But all of the analysis and studies had demonstrated this was a far superior location to support those uses and make it truly economically viable. It would also be respectful of the biological features on the site. Vm. Hart asked how much grading would have to be done at the site. Mr. Fryer stated the site was relatively flat, so grading would not be significant. Vm. Hart asked why the requested change to a particular site from school designation to medium density. Mr. Porto stated the site did not have an underlying land use. Most areas such as school sites generally had an underlying residential land use on it and this one did not have that. This was an underlay designation for the site in case a school was not built on the site. Vm. Hart asked about the area south of the school site. Mr. Porto stated the semi-public was handled in the Development Agreement where the developer was given the option of rezoning the property. At that time, they elected to look at the overall community that they had planned in the area, and they were proposing now to lower the density to medium density and assimilate the property all into one. The developer was also DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 11 VOLUME 30 G`~,~OF DpB~~ REGULAR MEETING n~ FEBRUARY 1, 2011 '~~~~~~~ ~'~t~FOC~~'`D ~~ i ~ DRAFT asking for an area designated as mixed use, be studied and the elimination of that mixed use area to go to medium high density development, moving the commercial out onto Fallon Road at the commercial site. Vm. Hart asked was would cause the recommendation for the changes. Mr. Porto stated he could not answer that without further analysis. Mr. Fryer stated it was both the developer's internal expertise and the development history at their company as well as consultation with local retail experts on both the development and the brokers side about the viability of the site with a look at traffic counts, roof tops within a certain radii from those locations, and all of those impacts and drivers. All of those recommendations had suggested that if the retail were to stay at the original location, it would be a strip center. They did not believe it was keeping with the vision of the neighborhood square. It would be vacant retail space that would be an eyesore and not get genuine use out of it. Mayor Sbranti asked about the status of the Community Park. Mr. Fryer stated the Community Park was a total of 18 acres between their property and the Chen property to the south. Eleven acres of the site was on the Jordan Ranch property. They were not proposing any change to that site as part of this item. On motion of Cm. Swalwell, seconded by Cm. Biddle and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 11 - 11 APPROVING THE INITIATION OF A GENERAL PLAN AND EASTERN DUBLIN SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY TO EVALUATE A PROPOSAL TO MODIFY THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ~DWELLING UNITS ON THE SITE KNOWN AS JORDAN RANCH, (APN 985-0027-007-02) ~i ` St. Patrick's Dav Parade 9:02:07 PM 8.3 (950-40) Environmental Specialist Martha Aja presented the Staff Report and advised that the Annual Dublin Lions Club St. Patrick's Day Parade would be held on Saturday, March 12, 2011. Each year, the Dublin City Council participates in the parade. The City Council would consider alternatives for participating in the 2011 St. Patrick's Day parade. By consensus, the City Council directed Staff to seek the use of the Alameda County Fire Department antique fire truck. If it was not available, then the City Manager would work with Police Chief McCarthy to utilize a police vehicle. , DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 12 VOLUME 30 `,~~oen~ REGULAR MEETING n; ~~ a~ FEBRUARY 1, 2011 '~~~~Vf~ ~C~~ ~s i3~~i DRAFT ~- Citv Council Disaster Preparedness Traininq 9:15:22 PM 8.4 (520-30) Senior Administrative Analyst Roger Bradley presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider holding a disaster preparedness training session for City Councilmembers to receive an overview of the City's disaster response process during an emergency.
