FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
No impact to the City. May reduce submittal costs to developers for
Vesting Tentative Maps
DESCRIPTION: This proposed ordinance was introduced at the February 13, 1996,
meetingi' There was no public comment on this issue. The attorney for the Dublin Unified School District
hL,s since requested additional time to review the subject ordinance changes, and is therefore asking that
this item be continued for two weeks until the next Council meeting.
Changes are being proposed to two Code Sections which would affect the School District. Language is
proposed to be added to Section 9.36.080 stating that a school district may mitigate overcrowding by
agreeing to lease or purchase surplus or underutilized school facilities from another school district.
Section 9.36.140 presently requires a school district to specify how it will use required land and/or fees to
solve overcrowding. The proposed addition will extend the requirement for school districts to specify the
use of land and/or fees in cases where there is to be an increase in thc amount of land and/or fees.
The City, from time to time, reviews its ordinances to determine if revisions are necessary to bring the
Ordinances into conformance with State Law and to meet the latest needs of the City. Title 9 of the
Dublin Municipal Code relates to Subdivisions. Regulations related to these laws must also be in
conformance with applicable State Laws, which are commonly referred to as the Subdivision Map Act. It
is appropriate that Dublin's Subdivision Ordinance be brought up to date. Representatives from the local
Chapter of the Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California (CELSOC) have also brought

several requested revisions to Staff' s attention. To this end, the City Attorney's office has reviewed the
existing ordinance and has made recommendations for appropriate revisions. The Draft Ordinance
attached includes the current text in the Dublin Municipal Code. Proposed deletions are shown in
striketb,-aug~ and additions are in bold italics. The Staff Report outlines major changes in the ordinance.
Section 9.04.050: It is proposed to add exceptions to the requirement for subdivision processing
(per State Law) for operating railroad right-of-way and for land transferred to or from a governmental
agency, including public utilities. It would also allow for waiver of the subdivision requirements for a lot
line adjustment if no new parcels are created and the adjustment of the lot line would not create the
potential for more parcels than was possible before the adjustment. Another proposed change would
amend the exclusions available for Parcel Map or Final Map. This change is also addressed by current
State Law.
Chapter 9.06: It is proposed to add a new chapter to address environmental subdivisions which are
authorized by newly enacted Government Code Section 66418.2 (AB 1287) until January 1, 2003.
Environmental subdivisions will be used primarily for the purpose of providing off-site mitigation for
development projects.
Section 9.08.050: It is proposed to add language to allow discretion on the part of the City
Engineer to determine whether or not to require preliminary grading plans, preliminary soil investigation
reports or other information when a tentative map is submitted. The amendment would also add
clarification regarding "will serve" letters for utility services.
Section 9.20.080: It is proposed to repeal the section regarding boundary monuments compiled
from recorded maps pursuant to the recommendation of CELSOC.
Section 9.24.090: At the recommendation of CELSOC, modifications to the size of the lettering.
on maps would be made.
Section 9.24.150(E): It is proposed to include the recommendation by CELSOC regarding a
signature by a registered civil engineer, rather than a certification.
Section 9.24.230: Certification of correction. It is proposed to repeal the existing section and
replace it with a new section that provides for six (6) different types of corrections, rather than the existing
two (2) types of corrections. This is consistent with the provisions in the Subdivision Map Act.
Section 9.24.260: It is proposed to add a new section to designate when Parcel Mergers are not
required pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act.
Section 9.24.270: It is proposed to add a new section to designate when Parcel Mergers are
required pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act.
Chapter 9.28: This Section relates to limitations on dedications of land for park and recreational
purposes. At the City Council meeting on February 13, 1996, under a separate Council Agenda Item, the
City Council will consider additional changes to the section on dedication for parks and recreation
purposes (Quimby Act). The changes recommended as part of this revision are minor and have been
added for clarification.
Chapter 9.36 Sections 9.36.080 and 9.36.140: It is proposed to make minor wording chhnges
related to provisions related to interim school facilities.
Page 2
Chapter 9.40: It is proposed to delete certain provisions in section 9.40.040 relhted to information
required to be submitted to process a Vesting Tentative Map. Specifically, subdivisions (a) and (c) are
proposed to be deleted. These sections required a great deal of additional information that the City
Engineer considers excessive. Instead, it is proposed to add language that makes it possible for the City
Engineer to require additional information if needed to carry out certain environmental determinations.
This is consistent with the existing terms of the State Subdivision Map Act.
Section 9.40.100: It is proposed to add this Section to allow for amendments to Vesting Tentative
Maps.
Staff recommends that Council continue this item to the City Council Meeting of March 12, 1996, at
the request of the attorney for the Dublin Unified School District, or waive the reading and adopt the
Ordinance.
