RE: All American Label
Dear Mayor and Council,
I am a Dublin resident and have owned and operated my own Real Estate Appraisal
Company in Dublin since 1994 and I'm also a Real Estate Broker.
I follow the city affairs as it relates to local business and land uses issues, as these items
are very important to me and my business interest.
I am writing today in reference to the staff report on the All American Label item in the
City Council agenda. I believe this goes too far. Nobody can read that General Plan
clause and honestly believe it sets a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 40% for Sierra
Court.
As a real estate practitioner, I was taught that land value is highly affected by what you
can do with it. For the City to come up with a crazy interpretation of the General Plan
that makes. almost 70% of the existing properties on Sierra Court non-conforming uses
would be a disaster. Even the businesses that don't exceed 40% would have their
properties devalued because they could not expand.
In these current economic times and all the pressure that goes with being a small business
owner, I believe the City Staff should work with the businesses that want to expand and
grow the economic base of Dublin, rather than making life more difficult.
Please consider supporting the property owners on Sierra court.
Let's make Dublin a better place for the small business owner and the community.
Sincerely,
Glenn J. Arace
