FINANCIAL STATEMENT: No direct financial impacts would occur from the recommended action. Costs to the City as a result of development of the road would depend on the financing mechanism selected for this project. A separate action would be required by the City Council to authorize financing the project. DESCRIPTION: This ordinance was introduced at a public hearing on September 26, 1988. Protests were made. The Circulation Plan for the Dublin Do~toT~n Specific Plan includes recommended changes to improve downtown circulation. One such improvement is a new street parallel to and southerly of Dublin Boulevard, connecting Regional Street to Amador Plaza Road. The Downto~ Plan shows the approximate location of this road midway between Dublin Boulevard and 1-580. In general, the road would have area-wide (do~town) circulation benefits by providing an alternate route. The Dublin General Plan contains Policy 5.!.F in the Circulation Element which reads: "Connect existing cul-de-sac streets near proposed BART station south of Dublin Boulevard." A new street is sho~ on the General Plan Map. Diagram 4 and Diagram 6 of the Downtown Specific Plan show a new street and a street right-of-way section of 65 feet which would provide two traffic lanes and a center two~way left turn lane plus parkways on either side (15 feet and 6 feet). TJKM, the City's traffic engineer, has evaluated the projected traffic for this road and has revised the optimal section to be 68 feet, to include two eight-foot sidewalks and two traffic lanes (20 feet each), and a center two-way left turn lane. The 20-foot traffic lane could accom~0date a 12-foot travel lane and an eight-foot parking lane. The provision of on- street parking would be determined during project design. Final design of the road, given a 68-foot right-of-way, could still take advantage of a wider parkway on one side (e.g., 12 feet on one side and 4 feet on the other). The proposed right-of-way would be able to accommodate about 17,500 average daily trips (ADT). The City Council held public hearings on this item on June 27, July 25, August 8, September 12, and September 26, 1988. Property owners in the area raised questions and concerns with and protests to the proposed right-of-way. Bud Lake, representative of Bedford Properties, expressed concern that the proposed alignment would remove parking, reduce back-up area for trucks at Unisource, and eliminate off-street vehicular access to the rear of the building containing Orchard Supply, Ross, Krause's, etc. Mr. Lake stated that he felt the establishment of a right-of- way line was premature. Harvey Levine, attorney for the Woolvertons (who own the Crown Chevrolet property and the vacant property south of it) presented a plan for the right- of-way alignment with dedications for portions of the right-of-way. This plan was tied to land use entitlements and limitations on the amount of property that would be dedicated for the new roadway. The City Council did not support the plan. Mr. Levine expressed concern that the roadway alignment suggested by Staff would result in separating the two parcels currently under one ownership. The separating of the parcels would limit the opportunities for expanding Crown Chevrolet. Robert Enea presented a protest to the establishment of the right-of-way line for this proposed road. No precise schedule has been established for constructing the road. Timing of the improvement of this new road may be dependent on land development in the area. The need for the road may become critical when BARTD develops their property or when other lands develop more intensively. Preliminary estimated costs to acquire property, design the improvements, construct the roadway, and mitigate environmental impacts would be about $3 million. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, waive the reading, and adopt the ordinance establishing right-of-way lines for a new road parallel to and southerly of Dublin Boulevard (between Amador Plaza Road and Regional Street).
