STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

The fiscal impacts of these projects were addressed as part of a fiscal analysis
performed for each approved project. All financial obligations of the subje ct developers
have been met pursuant to the terms provided in their respective Development
Agreements.
DESCRIPTION:
An annual review of active Development Agreements is required by California
Government Code Section 65865.1 and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code.
During the review period, occurring in July and August of each year, Staff reviews each
active Development Agreement to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of
the Agreement. The burden of demonstrating good faith compliance is on the respective
developer and/or property owner. For each project subject to a Development
Agreement, representatives of the Administrative Services, Community Development,
Fire, Parks and Community Services, and Public Works departments complete a
thorough and detailed assessment of the developer’s compliance with the requirements
