PLPA-2012-00033
WHEREAS, City Staff have been working to implement the goals and policies of both the
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan and the subsequent recommendations of the Urban Land
Institute (ULI) Technical Assistance Panel report; and
WHEREAS, one of the ULI report recommendations relates to allowing greater intensity
of uses in Downtown Dublin; however the Village Parkway District is limited to achieve greater
vibrancy and intensity with the City's current parking standards combined with the existing
building and development patterns in place; and
WHEREAS, the proposed pilot parking program would be implemented for a temporary
period of three years and the parking supply and demand would be managed by the property
owners and tenants, and not regulated by the City; and
WHEREAS, Staff presented a report to the City Council on May 15, 2012 seeking their
input on the pilot parking program concept. The City Council directed Staff to proceed with
preparing an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to temporarily suspend the parking
standards in a portion of the Village Parkway District for a limited term of three years; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance are set forth in the
proposed Ordinance that is attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on the proposed
modifications on July 24, 2012, for which proper notice was given in accordance with California
State Law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at its July 24, 2012, meeting did hear and use its
independent judgment and considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony
hereinabove set forth; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.120.050.6 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the Zoning Ordinance Amendment is consistent with the Dublin General
Plan and all applicable Specific Plans; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommends that the project be found exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) because the amendments to Title 8 (Zoning Ordinance) of the Dublin Municipal
Code do not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
