Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing
Senior Planner Erica Fraser presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council
would consider adopting a Resolution approving the Scarlett Court Design Guidelines
and a Resolution approving a General Plan Amendment related to the Scarlett Court
area. The City Council would also consider adopting an Ordinance amending Title 8 of
the Dublin Municipal Code relating to the Scarlett Court area.
Bill Wiseman, RBF Consultant, presented an overview of the Scarlett Court Design
Guidelines highlighting major themes and how the design guidelines were organized.
Cm. Sbranti asked what would be included in Phase 2 of the Scarlett Court Specific Plan.
Senior Planner Fraser stated Phase 2 would consist of a full Specific Plan that included
goals and policies, objectives, and could potentially include a land use change, if the
Council decided that it was something it wanted to review. What had been discussed
several months ago, was to get Phase 1 completed now, and then wait to see what
happened with Camp Parks before moving on to Phase 2.
Cm. Sbranti asked Staff what if, hypothetically, Business A, a Light industrial business
vacated, and Business B, came in with the exact same usage. To what extent would the
guidelines come into effect, other than the changing of the business name sign.

Senior Planner Fraser stated the Guidelines would not come into effect in that instance.
But if the business owner chose to make any physical changes to the outside, then the
Guidelines would come into effect.
Cm. Sbranti asked Staff for clarification between an item being "required" vs.
"encouraged," as stated in the Guidelines.
Senior Planner Fraser remarked that "required" meant the item had to be done. When
"encouraged" was used, it meant the item was what the City would like to see, but based
on the way the properties were configured., it might not be possible to comply with the
item, as directed in the Guidelines.
Mr. Wiseman commented that there were two components from the Design Review
process that made the use of the words important: 1) Are the items something the City
specifically wanted to control, and 2) The use of "shall," "should" or "encourage," often
times the City might want to give discretion to the Planning Commission to have a little
flexibility, not be too rigid.
Mayor Lockhart asked Staff if they had received any feedback from car dealerships
regarding the Guidelines.
Senior Planner Fraser stated that during the second community workshop there had
been comments regarding lighting for car dealerships. They stated their lighting needs
were different than another businesses. Staff had modified the Design Guidelines to
include the section on Auto Dealership Lighting.
Mayor Lockhart commented that she would not like one particular area of the City, that
had auto sales, be penalized. more than another area. that also had auto sales based on the
Guidelines; how could the City balance that to make if fair for everyone, such as the
placing of banners to advertise businesses.
Community Development Director Ram stated that banners were not allowed in the City.
The City has been busy with Code Enforcement and has not had time to enforce that part
of the Code. The Zoning Ordinance was being updated axed the sign portion would be
reviewed and revised as necessary. It would be best to wait until those changes were
made to the Zoning Ordinance to decide what decisions were made regarding banners
in the Scarlett Court area.
Mayor Lockhart stated that there would be another opportunity to discuss the issue.
