Currently, the CBP is structured to apply to leveloprnent that is in excess of the perm _::~ r tJr'.i. The panel suggested the City consider application of the program to all deve3opment, including developrrzent in Easf Dublii. The funds could ha best invested on catalytic projects preferably within the ~T00 subarea first. Nlhile a movie theater would be a good nighttime use, it is very expensive to construct, and the panel suggested that the ftmds could help lnce~ativile a theater or other entertainment venue perhaps through the subsidy of development costs. Another goon use of funds would be a downtown park or ©utdoor e~°ent space located on or adjacent to Golden Gate C+rl+ee as tit 4eads to ~Ai~T. Fuslds could also be used to subsidi~~e srrsall tenant improvement through grants or loans. Lastly, CBP funds could help clean up Store fror~is and fiagade improven~7ents. ~~~ iAP nn S ~. ;~,;..: ~.

Many of the panel's ten recommsndationsfocus on improvements needed in the transit-oriented district and uniting the City's vision with the property owners'. 1. Focus on TDD District, especially ~-~ key panels as a catalyst The Gity should take a step further than specific planning and artually bring together the property owners and interested parties to try and generate a coordinated plan for key catalytic properties. These owners include Essex. BART. Ghabat-Las Pashas and Safeway. The Gity should play a proactive role in creating a unified design vision by funding the design plans for these blocks and by helping address haw financial implementation will occur. The City will need to go beyond what is spelled cut in the Specific Plan to create successful projects that advance the uision for downtown. Ths panel suggests the City sit dawn and have same design exercises with the owners of the key parcels to try and paint a shared vision. As part of that, the City may have to think about public investment that gees along with private investment, as well as flexibility from a regulatory standpoint in order to stimulate the private sector`s desire to invest, . ~everae current opportunities fior Pudic-Pr~~: ~`~~~ Partnerships The City should continue to °;vork with BART to explore alternative near term uses for the BART hotelrrestaurant site as part of a shared vision. BART's focus on a hotel for that sits does not match near-term market potential; it would benefit both parties to explore haw that parcel can bs developed sooner rather than later. The penal also suggests discussing with 6ART shared use of their parking garage with nighttime uses that activiats the area focused on the upgraded Golden Gats Drive t St. Patrick Way TOD, for example a movie theater. . ~ ~, _m.a _ `_ _' ~ - - _- ;~ t' ~ ~ti «e € x .:, ~~ f ~«~; ~,.,.~~. ~,,~ ~• ,j ~- a r~-.~~ , ~.:.. } y.

Etttraace 1o Duglin P~,,, The City should investigate future opportunities to activate the area with additional civic (City, County, other agencies, etc,) and entertainment options. Ev<~luate partnership options with Chabot-Las Positas College District on the Crown Chevrolet site to create a put~lic plazalgathering space which could be jointly used, llddit'sonaliy, if and when the City needs to expand its own footprint, it should consider the downtown first. . Focus first on residential and horizontal mixed use ~~~~evelopments, then retail and office The City should focus on residential and horizontal mixed use on Golden Gate Drive and St, Patrick Way to provide more residents to support diversified retail. Current limits an the allowable number of housing units within the T00 area should be removed. The Prolog's formerly AMB) site should be allowed to increase its residential count, with office development, given the surplus of aifice space along the 680 corridor, being optional or driven by market needs. In the panel's experience, vertical mixed u,.e can be problematic, particularly in the early phases of transforming an area through TO©. Too often "4-over-1" (E'r levels of resider~tiai aver 1 level of retail ar commercial) scen;irios maintain their far- lease signs in the ~vindaws a# the gri~und float retail for years, ~. UnderY~~~~~ streetsc<it =~ redesign for ~'~ t~l~_I ~iit' Dri~~~{ tv enhance ti~~, ~~~v~~~t~i iii txt;~liElnce and for caln~irig traffic On Golden Gate Drive allow far one 12' travel lane and bike lanes in each direction, add on-street parallel parking and increase the 4' sidewalks to a 10' minimum. Village Parkway can serve as a pilot project by reducing travel lanes to one-way in each direction and simply re-striping to allow for diagonal. parking. aawntow~n ~udlin [iAFtT 7~ A~,,~~~~.s do~r~~ntn~~~~~~~ ~~;"~~Ii~ it~~~c~vement fiG~aj ~~ ~~ategies More public improvements and pul;!+c investment are needed an the front end. To da so the City needs to identify and 4veave together a rnr~ltipEe range of funding sources. Some of these sources may include Assessment Districts or Infrastructure Financing Districts. vrhich may evolve under California lain to replace redevelopment projet;t areas. °fhe City has had discussions in the past about Business Improvement Districts but should also explore ho~v to restructr~re the Community Benefits Plans so those funds are more targeted into the downtown area, including potentially capturing funds from the larger Cite and then focusing them into do.vntowvn_ . rtl~e~~ ~eue fees fir t ~~~.; -~~ ~jsss. especially restaurants, in d~~~~.~~ito~~n The City has don~'~ ,' great job reducing fees in the downtown area as an ince="~;~.~~ ~~; r.~ever even at reduced levels they can be too high and create an impediment for same uses especially restaurants and dir~ir~a uses. The City should further reduce fees tc attract Ev~;?a~~~ants. ~ ~ a `i `1 ~, jj ; ` ~ q, _ r 1 _.. . _ ''--y. ~- SIC, <_,tiC€c 9. C~e~i~ate staff to manage Capital improvemenf flan Redevelopment agencies often implement capital improvements in a very efficient way by identifying capital needs for an entire downtown area and assigning a dedicated project manager to implement the various capital improvements tCl's) within their individual project area. Improvements include streetscape improvements. undergrounding of utilities, extending trolley lines, building pedestrian bridges and upgrading infrastructure, making way for future development. The penal recommends the City create a Capital Improvement Plan {CIP) for the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area and dedicate time and resources, i.e a project manager potentially housed within the Economic Developm~nf Department, to implement the CIP. Once a C!P is approv?1, this person would functic,n independently from the Cft ~ ~~~~!~ng end Public Works i7epartrnent to implement the capita! improvement projects ~~ithin the Specific Plan area. 10.
