Calendar Year 2014
INTRODUCTION
Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires planning agencies to provide an annual report
to their legislative body, the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of their General Plan and their
progress in its implementation. The report must detail the progress in meeting the jurisdiction's
share of the regional housing need and address efforts by the local agency towards removing
governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The
City of Dublin's Annual Report was presented to the City Council on March 3, 2015.
The purpose for the Annual Progress Report is to: assess how the General Plan is being
implemented in accordance with adopted goals, policies and implementation measures; identify
any necessary adjustments or modifications to the General Plan as a means to improve local
implementation; provide a clear correlation between land use decisions that have been made
during the 12-month reporting period and the goals, policies and implementation measures
contained in the General Plan; and, provide information regarding local agency progress in
meeting its share of regional housing needs.
The Dublin General Plan was adopted on February 11, 1985, three years following the City's
incorporation in 1982. The General Plan contains the seven State-required elements which are
Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise and Safety. The State allows
the combining of elements or the addition of new elements as long as the required seven
elements are present in some fashion. The Dublin General Plan contains the following twelve
(12) Elements:
Land Use Element Seismic Safety and Safety Element
Parks and Open Space Element Noise Element
Schools, Public Lands, and Utilities Community Design & Sustainability
Element Element
Circulation and Scenic Highways Economic Development Element
Element Water Resources Element
Housing Element Energy Conservation Element
Conservation Element
Local governments are required to keep their General Plans current and internally consistent.
There is no specific requirement that a local government update its General Plan on any
particular timeline, with the exception of the Housing Element, which is required to be updated
as prescribed by State Law. The Dublin Housing Element was last updated and certified by the
State Department of Housing and Community Development on January 21, 2015 for the 2015-
2023 planning period.
The City of Dublin continues to actively implement the policies of the General Plan including the
goals, policies and programs of the Housing Element. The following represents the progress the
City has made towards implementing the General Plan and Housing Element during the
Calendar Year 2014 reporting period. The information to follow is organized to correspond with
the elements of the Dublin General Plan.

• In May 2011, with the help of Chevron Energy Solutions (Chevron ES), the City
conducted an energy audit of all City facilities. From that audit, several recommendations
were made for projects that would incorporate energy conservation measures as well as
renewable energy options. The following projects have been completed:
Photovoltaic Electricity: Seven PV electricity-producing (solar) installations have
been constructed as part of the Energy Action Plan at the following locations: Civic
24 of 26
Center; library; Shannon Community Center; senior center; and, all three fire
stations. These installations will generate more than 700 kW of solar energy at all
sites combined. Additionally, a display monitor at the library with a link to the City
website allows for public viewing of real-time tracking of production, savings, and
environmental benefits. The solar arrays are a combination of solar shade
structures at the Civic Center, library, Shannon Community Center, Fire Station
17, and Fire Station 18, with roof-mounted solar installations at the remaining
facilities. Most importantly, the solar arrays will help power the diverse city
operations. In addition to the solar arrays, the City will be upgrading its heating
and cooling systems at the Civic Center and the library with more efficient
technology.
Lighting and Irrigation Changes: Over 3,100 fixtures have been retrofitted. The
high-pressure sodium cobra head lamps have been exchanged for energy-efficient
LED streetlights. This project has benefited both the City's public safety
responders as well as the public with improved lighting quality. The decorative
fixtures along the Village Parkway corridor, in the Dublin Ranch area, and Transit
Center were not switched to LED. The decorative streetlights will be looked at in a
future time when decorative light technology advances.
Interior lighting retrofits have also occurred as part of the project. Encompassing
all fire stations, Civic Center, the library, the senior center, and Shannon
Community Center, these retrofits have had an immediate effect in reducing
electrical consumption of the City's facilities. Existing fixtures at all these locations
have been retrofitted with more energy-efficient bulbs and ballasts. Motion sensors
have been added, and more efficient lighting technologies will be incorporated as
appropriate.
The City is in the process of upgrading the watering systems within all of its parks
with a centralized irrigation system that will ensure that water is delivered to these
locations only when needed, cutting the cost of maintaining the landscaping within
City parks. Additionally, City facilities have been retrofitted with low-flow toilets and
sinks.
• Dublin Green Shamrock Business Program: The goal of the Dublin Green Shamrock
Business Program is to educate businesses on sustainable practices and connect them
with potential savings. Energy Conservation is part of the multi-faceted program. The
program began in October 2014 and by the end of the year, 11 businesses were enrolled
in the program.
• Home Energy Analyzer: 90 residents participated in a Home Energy Challenge during the
4t" quarter of 2013. In 2014, an additional 45 residents signed up and were given access
to detailed energy reports that educated them on their energy usage. Residents were
given access to energy assistance and were made aware of energy rebates that would
be beneficial for them.
• BayRen Multifamily Program: As part of a BayRen Multifamily program that started in
November 2013 and continued through 2014, the City promoted a multifamily outreach
campaign that included energy efficient rebates to help pay for enhancements to aging or
25 of 26
inefficient energy systems. In addition, all Dublin multifamily complexes were notified of a
free 4 day Green Property Management training opportunity for multifamily property staff,
including property managers, superintendents, maintenance staff and service providers.
The trainings took place in February 2014.
• City completed the construction of several new public facilities, including the Public
Safety Complex, Corporation Yard, and additional park facilities, implementing several of
the policies in Section 13.3.3 of the Energy Conservation Element.
