A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
DESIGNATING URBAN GROWTH TO CITIES
WHEREAS, cities are best suited to provide desired services and
infrastructure to new development in California, being the local
government of general powers closest to the people; and
WHEREAS, statewide goals have been adopted to foster orderly,
compact urban growth, to foster cost-efficient provision of urban
services and infrastructure, and to prevent the negative environmental
effects of urban sprawl; and
WHEREAS, the Knox-Cortese Local Government Act specifically
establishes city spheres-of-influence as a means of furthering these
statewide goals by providing for the logical and orderly extension of
municipal services; and
WHEREAS, development in unincorporated counties has resulted in
inefficient and duplicative urban services and infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, disenchantment with county response to local land use and
service delivery needs has led to incorporation of county-approved
development, often as a means to correct poorly planned development; and
WHEREAS, future development within cities can best avoid the
problems of urban sprawl while delivering the most cost-efficient and
responsive services and other infrastructure to new residents and
businesses in the State.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Dublin resolves as follows:
Section 1:
That the City of Dublin supports the policy position that
all urban development take place within cities and that
no urban development take place within unincorporated
county territory.
Section 2:
That the City Clerk of the City of Dublin be directed to
send this resolution to the East Bay Division of the
League of California Cities and to the League of
California Cities for their consideration to adopt as the
policy of the League.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of July, 1991.
