Item 8.1
From: Yun Guan

Subject: The Dublin governmanet are not allowed to rezone the commercial lands to the residential lands
Dear Mr. Sims,
I recently received the public meeting notice regarding turning the "promenade" that was promised to Dublin
residents into a housing development.
I am deeply concerned about this proposal. Our residents already live in a neighborhood with extremely high
population density, very limited access to retail and commercial resources, and severe school overflow
problems.
The project in question —The Grafton Street project--was promised to Dublin residents as our community
gathering place and a pedestrian-friendly retail promenade, which is necessary to the quality of life of our
residents and the development of a healthy community.
Yet Dublin city government have had it again and again: no more land to build more schools; no more land to
build parks; no more land for retail and commercial use, etc. However, Dublin city government always have
more land for residential. Businesses are moving out of Dublin, because everybody is witnessing, as Dublin
gradually becomes nothing but a huge residential pot.
When Dublin residents want to rezone residential land to build a school. The city council and city staff said
those lands were set for residential lands in General Plan and can not be changed.Then why the city
can rezone the commercial land to residential land? Since the land is already set to commercial land in
General Plan and if the city try to do to please residential builders and rezone the commercial lands to the
residential lands, then the corrupted city staffs are lying to the Dublin residents and violating the law.
Yours
Ewen Guan
Dublin residents
