STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE:August 16, 2016
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Modification to Ground Lease Option Condition with Dublin Unified School
District for Jordan Ranch School/Park Site
Prepared by: Linda Smith, Assistant City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a minor modification to a condition for the Jordan Ranch
School/Park Site Ground Lease Option. The modification relates to the attachment of
storm water treatment plans to the City-approved Park Site Improvement plans in order
to execute the Ground Lease Agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, approve the modification to
Condition 5.1.4.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
DESCRIPTION:
Dublin Unified School District is seeking a modification to Condition 5.1.4 of the Ground
Lease Option Agreement for the school/park site at Jordan Ranch. Specifically, the
District seeks to alter Condition 5.1.4 “City staff approval of the plans for the Park Site
Improvements submitted to DSA that shall be attached to the Ground Lease as Exhibit
D, which shall include storm water treatment for the entire site.” The District is
requesting that the City Council remove that portion of the Condition requiring
attachment of the storm water treatment plans for the entire site. Review and approval
of the storm water treatment plans are already in the City’s purview as the permitting
agency. Storm water treatment plans proposed, to date, have fallen short of meeting
the site’s storm water requirements, requiring the District to work on new plans. These
plans will take additional time that originally anticipated. That portion of the Condition
requiring City staff approval of the plans for the Park Site Improvements submitted to
DSA shall remain unchanged.

While the current agreement allows the District site access to begin grading work prior
to the execution of the Lease Agreement, the District’s Lease/Leaseback construction
method that it chose to use on this project (following execution of the Ground Lease
Option) requires the District to have a fully executed Lease Agreement before beginning
any site work.
The request to modify this condition will allow the District to stay on track with the
construction schedule, with a school delivery date of Fall 2018. Without this revision, it
is likely that the District will miss the construction window this year, resulting in the
school opening in Fall 2019.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of this staff report has been made available to Dublin Unified School District.
