The project location is shown below: Figure 1: Project Location The adjacent property to the north is currently a single-family home and Tassalara Road ranch that will soon be demolished and redeveloped with a 36-unit Fallon Road subdivision approved in 2010. The adjacent property to the south is designated Medium Density Residential (6.1 to 14 units per acre) x , and is currently occupied by a 6 quarry Line single-family home, landscape School contracting business, and landscape 's nursery. n_`a In April 1999, prior to the site being annexed to the City of Dublin, Alameda County approved a Planned Development District to allow the development of the first phase of the Quarry Lane School, consisting of a 15,600-square-foot building for day care, preschool and elementary school grades with a maximum enrollment of 200 students. A programmatic Environmental Impact Report was certified by the County at that time for the Quarry Lane School Master Plan. On December 19, 2000, the City Council approved the Planned Development (PD) District Pre- zoning and Annexation application for Quarry Lane School Phase II (City Council Ordinance 24- 00 — Attachment 1). The application was for a substantial increase to the amount of development on site to allow an additional 66,685 square feet to construct a middle school and high school building, recreation areas, landscaping and grading. This would allow Quarry Lane to expand from 200 students (daycare, preschool, and elementary school) to a population of 950 students that would include middle school and high school ages as well. The school use, maximum student population, ultimate building envelope, site layout, extent of grading, and architectural plans were approved by the City at this time. On May 25, 2004, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 04-46 (Attachment 2), which included a minor amendment to the Stage 2 Development Plan and Site Development Review. The application requested Site Development Review to construct Phase II, which included construction of 70,289 square feet of new building area (an increase from the 66,685 square feet approved in 2000) and associated sports fields and playground areas to serve the middle and high school facilities. The project also included other minor site revisions. While the building area increased, the total maximum student population remained at 950 students. 2 of 8 Proposed Project The Phase III expansion of Quarry Lane School includes the construction of a new 13,102 square foot cafeteria and science building and the allowance for a future expansion of up to 4,000 square feet in Building 1 to accommodate an expanded stage and performance area at some point in the future. The application includes a request for Site Development Review approval for the cafeteria and science building (no Site Development Review request for the future Building 1 expansion area) and a Planned Development Rezoning and related Stage 1/2 Development Plan amendment to increase the overall amount of development allowed on the school site. ANALYSIS The analysis below describes the various components of the project and provides a comparison between the existing Planned Development Zoning District and related Stage 1/2 Development Plan and the proposed amendments. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING AND RELATED STAGE 1/2 DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT: The current proposal is to increase the amount of development permitted on site from 85,889 square feet (per the 2004 Stage 2 Development Plan approval) to 110,602 square feet and increase the allowable Floor to Area Ration (FAR) from .219 to .253. Table 1 below describes the factors in the proposed increase.

The proposed additional building area (in the form of the new cafeteria/science building and the future expansion to Building 1) is intended to serve the existing student population. 3 of 8 The existing Stage 2 Development Plan and the proposed (amended) Stage 1/2 Development Plan are compared below in Table 2.

Height The addition of 7,611 square feet in Building 1 to the Total Building Area is a result of the school's acquisition of the building and site, which existed on a separate parcel and served as a special events center ("Villa Tassajara") for many years. In 1997, Quarry Lane School acquired the site and parcel and incorporated the building into the school campus, utilizing the building for administrative purposes, library, and kitchen functions. This is not newly-constructed building area, but it is building area that had not been previously accounted for in the Quarry Lane School Development Plan. The Total Building Area and FAR are proposed to increase, but all other elements of the Stage 1/2 Development Plan remain the same. The Resolution recommending approval of the Planned Development Rezoning and related Stage 1/2 Development Plan amendments is included as Attachment 3 to this staff report and the City Council Ordinance itself is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 3. The Stage 1/2 Development Plan, as amended, is included in its entirety in the Ordinance. SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW: The school campus is on a property that has a substantial upwards slope from west to east. The site topography results in several different levels being created and the use of many retaining walls to create flat spaces for parking and recreation areas. The school campus currently has three buildings, as shown in Figure 2: 4of8 • Building 1 (Office/Library/Kitchen building) is 7,611 square feet and is closest to Tassajara Road and near the main entry. This building was a separate special events facility before the school acquired it in 1997 and made it a part of the campus. • Building 2 (Preschool and Elementary School building) is 15,578 square feet and was the first building constructed specifically for Quarry Lane School. • Building 3 (Middle and High School building) is 70,701 square feet and was the! Phase II expansion of the school that was permitted in 2004.

There will be limited visibility of the new building from Tassajara Road. The area is currently occupied by a storage shed, outdoor eating area for students, and a commercial walk-in refrigerator. These structures will be removed prior to construction. Sheet AS1.1 of the Project Plans (Exhibit A to Attachment: 4) illustrates the location of the proposed building. The colors and materials of the new building will match those of the Buildings 2 and 3, including the standing seam metal roof with decorative eave corbels and a simple cement plaster finish painted to match the existing buildings. The window design and placement will also complement the other buildings on the school campus. The last sheet of the Project Plans (Exhibit A to Attachment 4) provides color and material details. There are seven trees that are proposed to be removed from the project site, including four eucalyptus, two redwoods (with trunk diameters of 10 inches and 12 inches) and one Mexican 5 of 8 fan palm tree. These trees are located in areas that are to receive significant grading. All other landscaping is to remain on site, and the newly-created slope areas are to be planted with groundcover. The Resolution recommending City Council approval of the Site Development Review application is included as Attachment 4 to this staff report. CONFORMANCE WITH GENERAL PLAN AND EASTERN DUBLIN SPECIFIC PLAN The project is within the Medium Density and Open Space land use designation of the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The proposed Quarry Lane Phase II development is consistent with those designations because the school is a type of community facility, and community facilities are an allowed use in all land use categories. The site layout protects the undisturbed hillside in the northeastern portion of the site consistent with the Open Space land use designation. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental review for the project area was previously conducted and documented in the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, which was adopted in 1993 and has a certified Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 91103064) and analyzed in the Quarry Lane Master Plan, which was adopted in 1998 by the County of Alameda and has a certified EIR (SCH No. 97122109). In 2000, the City Council approved a Planned Development District Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan for the construction of Phase II of Quarry Lane School, and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (City Council Resolution 204-00). In 2004, the Planning Commission approved Site Development Review, a Conditional Use Permit, and adopted a CEQA Addendum to allow the construction of Phase II of Quarry Lane School and the associated minor amendments to the approved Development Plan (Planning Commission Resolution 04-46. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City of Dublin prepared an Initial Study (Exhibit A to Attachment 5) to determine if additional environmental review was required for the Project beyond the prior EIRs and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Initial Study determined that the project would not require major revisions to the previous EIRs or Mitigated Negative Declaration because the Project would not have new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Because the overall site building envelope, amount of urbanized area, and student and staff population were unchanged, the impacts and appropriate mitigations are the same and no new mitigations are required. Furthermore, the Initial Study determined that there was no change in circumstances that would result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects because no new or unanticipated circumstances have developed since the previous EIRs were certified, the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted, and the previous Addendum was adopted. Based on the Initial Study, an Addendum was prepared documenting these facts. The Resolution recommending that the City Council adopt a CEQA Addendum for the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion is included as Attachment 5 to this Staff Report. 6 of 8 NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH A notice of this public hearing was published in the newspaper, mailed to all property owners and tenants within 300 feet of the project area boundaries, and all persons who have expressed an interest in being notified of actions related to this project were notified via email. The Staff Report for this public hearing was also available on the City's website.

The proposed Planned Development Prezone meets the intent and purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a comprehensive Development Plan which will create a desirable use of land and an environment that will be sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan; and 2. The Planned Development Prezone will be appropriate for the subject property in terms of setting forth the purpose, applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses and Development Standards, which will be compatible with existing and proposed residential and open space uses in the immediate vicinity and will enhance the development of the Specific Plan Area; and 3. The Planned Development Prezone will provide for the development of future phases of the Quarry Lane School on land designated by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for Medium Density Residential and Rural Residential/Agricultural land uses. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan envisions this area denoted as subarea G: Foothill Residential in the Specific Plan to be developed with predominantly residential and open space uses as well as uses including public schools and parks; it is therefore appropriate for schools, both public and private to be located in residential neighborhoods in close proximity to the students they serve;the project is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and will contribute towards implementation of said Plan; and 4. The Planned Development Prezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the PD Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information required by Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H, of the Zoning Ordinance; and 5. The Planned Development Prezone will provide efficient use of land and will preserve an area of open space and undisturbed hillside along the north and primarily the northeast corner of the property; and will be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area; and will create an attractive, efficient and safe environment and physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning and uses proposed, and 6. The Planned Development Prezone will not have a substantial adverse effect on health or safety or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public improvement, as all applicable regulations will be met; and 7. The Planned Development Prezone will not overburden public services or facilities as all agencies must commit to the availability of Public Services prior to the issuance of any building permits as required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and Mitigation Measures; and 8. The Planned Development Prezone will be consistent with the policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and 9. The Planned Development Prezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience and general welfare; and 10. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program and the additional site specific mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study (Attachment 6 to Staff Report) will apply to the Project, as the reporting and monitoring program required by Public Resources Code 21081.6 for the Project WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.32.070 and 8.120.050 and 8.120.110 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings regarding said proposed Planned Development Prezone for the Kobold property: 1.

In 2000, the City of Dublin approved a Planned Development District Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan for the project, and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (Resolution 204-00, incorporated herein by reference); and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, the City of Dublin prepared an Addendum to the EIRs and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project that determined that the changes to the project consisting of a small increase in useable floor area, modification to retaining wall design, and a reduction in parking would not require major revisions to the previous EIRs or Mitigated Negative Declaration because the changes would not have new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Because the building envelope, building location, extent of grading, and student and staff population were unchanged, the impacts and appropriate mitigations are the same and no new mitigations are required. Furthermore, City Staff determined that no change in circumstances would result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects because no new or unanticipated circumstances have developed since the EIRs were certified and the Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted; and WHEREAS, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment EIR identified significant unavoidable impacts from development of the Eastern Dublin area, some of which could apply to the Project. Pursuant to the Communities for a Better Environment judgment, approval of the proposed Project must be supported by a new Statement of Overriding Considerations; and WHEREAS, a CEQA Addendum and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were prepared by Staff, and WHEREAS,the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on said application on May 25, 2004; and ATTACHMENT 2 WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending the Planning Commission approve the CEQA Addendum, Statement of Overriding Considerations, Site Development Review, and Conditional Use Permit for minor amendments to building size, modification to retaining wall design, and reduction in parking requirements; and WHEREAS,the Planning Commission did hear and use its independent judgment and considered all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth. NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE City of Dublin Planning Commission does hereby find that: A. The Parking Reduction of 10% from the parking required by the Planned Development Zoning District substantially complies with and does not materially change the adopted Development Plans, and allows all of the Conditional Use Permit findings to be made because the project would provide 149 parking spaces, exceeding Zoning Ordinance parking regulations, and because the applicant has submitted a parking study prepared by Abrams Associates that concluded that the parking demand of students, staff and visitors would require 145 parking spaces. In addition,the Applicant has submitted a preliminary Transportation Management Program that outlines the measures and responsibilities that the school will take to reduce the traffic impacts and parking demand of the project. The Transportation Management Program measures have been incorporated into the project. B. The increase in useable floor are of 3,604 square feet and increase in allowable FAR of.009 are appropriate and minor amendments, as the increase is less than 5% of the building floor area, it consists of floor area within the approved building envelope,the number of students and staff would not increase beyond the approved 750 students and 55 staff members, and it substantially complies with and does not materially change the provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance of the site. C. The modification in retaining wall design substantially complies with and does not materially change the provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance of the site, because the change is necessary to allow disabled access to the playing field, the additional retaining wall will require less than 1%of additional grading of the project grading, and the grading proposed as part of the SDR project is limited to the 500-foot elevation, reducing the overall cut required, consistent with the intent of the PD District to minimize site grading. D. Approval of the Site Development Review application is consistent with the intent of Chapter 8.104, Site Development Review, of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance because it resolves project-related issues including, but not limited to, building location, architectural and landscape design and theme, vehicular and pedestrian access and on-site circulation, parking and traffic impacts, in the following manner: 1. Parking lot design coordinates vehicle circulation and parking with pedestrian and ADA accessibility. 2. Design of grading coordinates with landscaping design and project mitigation requirements such as proper design and engineering of steep slopes. 3. As conditioned,the project's street improvements provide pedestrian and vehicle access required pursuant to the site's Planned Development District regulations and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. 4. As conditioned, water quality and stormwater control features have been designed and coordinated with the project's grading and landscaping. 5. As conditioned,the project will comply with the City of Dublin Wildfire Management Plan. E. The project is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because the General Plan provisions allow approval of semi-public facilities such as schools in all land uses, and the project 2 complies with the Planned Development Zoning District established for the site pursuant to provisions and policies of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, including the Tassajara Road Scenic Corridor Policy. F. The approval will not adversely effect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity,or be detrimental to public health, safety and general welfare because,as conditioned,the Applicant/Developer will be responsible for improvements to Tassajara Road including,but not limited to, a signalized intersection, left- turn pocket, increased street width, and maintained traffic signage requiring slower speeds while children are present. G. The project architecture, site layout and landscaping have been designed to ensure visual relief and to create a desirable and attractive environment for users of the site and the public, because of the following features: 1. As conditioned, impacts to views will be addressed as trees will be planted on the steep slope below the playing field to buffer visual impacts of re-contoured slopes to residents to the south and also to control erosion. 2. Retaining walls are screened with fast-growing, climbing vines to enhance and visually buffer their appearance. 3. Site grading and retaining walls have been minimized by the stepped, hillside design of the building and campus so that the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the development. 4. The building design incorporates non-glare materials and chain-link fencing will be clad in green-colored vinyl slats. H. Architectural considerations have been incorporated into the project and as conditions of approval in order to insure compatibility of the development with the design concept and setting. The building incorporates traditional architectural features and, as conditioned, the project colors, materials, methods of compliance with the Wildfire Management Plan, and final landscaping plan will be reviewed and approved as part of the building permit review process. I. The project will not overburden public services as all agencies have committed to the availability of public services prior to the annexation of the property to the City of Dublin, and will reconfirm their commitment prior to the issuance of building permits as required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and mitigation measures. J. The adopted Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan EIR and Mitigation Monitoring Program, the Quarry Lane School EIR and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and the Planned Development District PA 99-064 Mitigation Monitoring Program continue to apply to the project. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission approves the CEQA Addendum included as Attachment 4 of the Staff Report and incorporated herein by reference. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations for the project, included as Exhibit A of Attachment 4 of the Staff Report, and incorporated herein by reference. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve a Site Development Review Permit and a Conditional Use Permit for minor amendments to Planned Development PA 99- 064 and for project plans, included as Attachment 2, stamped approved and dated May 25, 2004, subject to the Conditions of Approval, as follows_ CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Unless stated otherwise all Conditions of Approval shall be complied with prior to the issuance of building permits or establishment of use,and shall be subject to Department of Community Development review and approval._The 3 followiniz codes represent those departments/ay-eneies responsible for monitoring compliance of the conditions of approval: [ADM] Administration/City Attorney, 1131 Building Division of the Community Development Department, IDSRI Dublin San Ramon Services District, IF] Alameda County Fire Department/City of Dublin Fire Prevention, [FIN] Finance Department, 1PL1 Planning Division of the Community Development Department, IPOI Police, 1PW1 Public works Department.

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY the City Council of the City of Dublin, on this day of 2014, by the following votes: 5 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk 6 RESOLUTION NO. 14-xx A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR A NEW 13,102 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING AT QUARRY LANE SCHOOL 6363 TASSAJARA ROAD PLPA-2014-00008 APN 985-0002-006-03 WHEREAS, the Applicant, Dr. Sabri Arac, Quarry Lane School, has requested approval of Site Development Review and amendments to the Development Plan for the existing Planned Development District (Ord. 24-00) to allow for 17,102 square feet of additional building area on the school site, consisting of one new building of 13,102 square feet, and the potential to add up to 4,000 square feet to existing Building One at some point in the future. The total building area would be 110,602 square feet, which would also include the square footage of Building 1 (7,611 square feet), which was an existing building on an adjacent lot that was purchased by the School in 1997 and made a part of the school campus. The added total building area is referred to herein as the "Project"; and WHEREAS, Site Development Review approval is being sought only for the development of a 13,102 square foot cafeteria and science building constructed on a portion of the site that is between a two-story building (Building 1) and an upper parking lot with limited visibility of the new building from Tassajara Road. A complete Site Development Review application for the project is available and on file in the Dublin Planning Department; and WHEREAS, the Project area was previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, which was adopted in 1993 and has a certified Program EIR (SCH No. 91-103064) and analyzed in the Quarry Lane Master Plan, which was adopted in 1998 by the County of Alameda and has a certified EIR (SCH No. 97122109). In 2000, the City of Dublin approved a Planned Development District Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan for the project (City Council Ordinance 24-00), and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (City Council Resolution 204-00), incorporated herein by reference); and WHEREAS, in 2004, the Planning Commission approved Site Development Review, a Conditional Use Permit, and adopted a CEQA Addendum to allow the construction of Phase II of Quarry Lane School and the associated minor amendments to the approved Development Plan (PC Resolution 04-46, incorporated herein by reference); and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City of Dublin prepared an Initial Study to determine if additional environmental review was required for the Project beyond the prior EIRs and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Initial Study determined that the project would not require major revisions to the previous EIRs or Mitigated Negative Declaration because the Project would not have new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Because the overall site building envelope, amount of urbanized area, and student and staff population were unchanged, the impacts and appropriate mitigations are the same and no new mitigations are required. Furthermore, the Initial Study determined that there was no change in circumstances that would result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects because no new or unanticipated ATTACHMENT 4 circumstances have developed since the previous EIRs were certified, the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted, and the previous Addendum was adopted; and WHEREAS, a Staff Report, dated May 13, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference, described and analyzed the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion, including the Site Development Review application and the proposed Planned Development Rezoning/Development Plan amendment, for the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on the Project, including the proposed Site Development Review application and the proposed Planned Development Rezoning/Development Plan amendment, on May 13, 2014, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the Initial Study and CEQA Addendum, all above-referenced reports, recommendations, and testimony to evaluate the Project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this resolution. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE City of Dublin Planning Commission does hereby find that: A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) of the Zoning Ordinance, with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines because: the colors and materials of the new building will match those of the Buildings 2 and 3, including the standing seam metal roof with decorative eave corbels and a simple cement plaster finish painted to match the existing buildings. The window design and placement will also complement the other buildings on the school campus. Although the new building has been designed to be consistent with the other school buildings in order to create a unified aesthetic, it will have limited visibility from Tassajara Road due to its placement behind Building 1. B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1) The architecture and landscape design for the new building are well-suited to the proposed use; 2) the overall design of the project is consistent with the design requirements of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan; 3) the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential in that a private school is considered a community facility, a use that can be permitted in any zoning district and land use designation; and 4) the proposed project meets the intent of the Dublin General Plan, which discourages projects that do not relate well to the surrounding developments and the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that is primarily residential uses. C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties, and the lot(s) in which the project is proposed because: 1) The architecture and landscape design for the new building are well-suited to the proposed use; 2) the overall design of the project is consistent with the design requirements of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan; 3) the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential in that a private school is 2 considered a community facility, a use that can be permitted in any zoning district and land use designation; 4) the proposed project meets the intent of the Dublin General Plan, which discourages projects that do not relate well to the surrounding developments and the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that is primarily residential uses; and the overall intensity of use of the site is not proposed to increase in that the maximum student population and other similar factors are not proposed to increase. D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development because: 1) the project site has been home to Quarry Lane School since the late 1990's and the use is proposed to continue; and 2) although the amount of developable building area is proposed to increase, the intensity of use of the site is not proposed to change in that the total maximum student population, the maximum number of faculty and staff members, and the number of classrooms are not proposed to increase. The proposed additional building area (in the form of the new cafeteria and science building and the future expansion to Building 1) is intended to serve the existing student population. E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: 1) development of the project site will involve a small amount of grading (estimated 750 cubic yards) and the installation of a new 5 foot tall retaining wall to create a flat building pad for the new building; 2) the roadway and utility infrastructure to serve the site already exists, 3) future approval of grading and improvement plans will enable the site to be modified to suit the project, which will be developed for the site in accordance with City policies and regulations; and 4) the project complies with the Planned Development Zoning District established for the site pursuant to provisions and policies of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, including the Tassajara Road Scenic Corridor Policy. F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments in the vicinity because: the colors and materials of the new building will match those of the Buildings 2 and 3, including the standing seam metal roof with decorative eave corbels and a simple cement plaster finish painted to match the existing buildings. The window design and placement will also complement the other buildings on the school campus. Although the new building has been designed to be consistent with the other school buildings in order to create a unified aesthetic, it will have limited visibility from Tassajara Road due to its placement behind Building 1 G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public because: 1) site grading and retaining walls have been minimized by the stepped, hillside design of the building so that the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the development; and 2) there are seven trees that are proposed to be removed from the project site, including four eucalyptus, two redwoods (with trunk diameters of 10 inches and 12 inches) and one Mexican fan palm tree, which are located in areas that are to receive significant grading. All other landscaping is to remain on site, and the newly-created slope areas are to be planted with groundcover. H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist, pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) site infrastructure including driveways, pathways, 3 sidewalks, and site lighting is already in place and the new pathways leading to the new building have been reviewed for conformance with City policies, regulations, and best practices. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Dublin does hereby recommend that the City Council approve Site Development Review for a new 13,102 square foot building at Quarry Lane School, with the Project Plans included as Exhibit A to this Resolution, subject to the conditions included below.

The total building area would be 110,602 square feet, which would also include the square footage of Building 1 (7,611 square feet), which was an existing building on an adjacent lot that was purchased by the School in 1997 and made a part of the school campus. The added total building area is referred to herein as the "Project"; and WHEREAS, a complete application for the Project is available and on file in the Dublin Planning Department; and WHEREAS, environmental review for the Project area was previously conducted and documented in the certified EIR for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, which was adopted in 1993 (SCH No. 91(-103064) and in the certified EIR for the Quarry Lane Master Plan, which was adopted in 1998 by the County of Alameda (SCH No. 97122109); and WHEREAS, in 2000, the City of Dublin approved a Planned Development District Stage 1/2 Development Plan for the construction of Phase II of Quarry Lane School, and adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (City Council Resolution 204-00, incorporated herein by reference); and WHEREAS, in 2004, the Planning Commission approved Site Development Review, a Conditional Use Permit, and adopted a CEQA Addendum to allow the construction of Phase II of Quarry Lane School and the associated minor amendments to the approved Development Plan (PC Resolution 04-46, incorporated herein by reference); and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City of Dublin prepared an Initial Study to determine if additional environmental review was required for the Project beyond the prior EIRs and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Initial Study determined that the project would not require major revisions to the previous EIRs or Mitigated Negative Declaration because the Project would not have new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Because the overall site building envelope, amount of urbanized area, and student and staff population were unchanged, the impacts and appropriate mitigations are the same and no new mitigations are required. Furthermore, the Initial Study determined that there was no change in circumstances that would result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects because no new or unanticipated ATTACHMENT 5 circumstances have developed since the previous EIRs were certified, the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted, and the previous Addendum was adopted; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 and based on the Initial Study, dated April 28, 2014, the City prepared an Addendum to the prior CEQA documents. The Addendum with its supporting Initial Study are attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference and which describes the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion and its relation to the analysis in the previous environmental documents; and WHEREAS, a Staff Report, dated May 13, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference, described and analyzed the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion, including the Site Development Review application and the proposed Planned Development Rezoning/Development Plan amendment, for the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on the Project, including the proposed Site Development Review application and the proposed Planned Development Rezoning/Development Plan amendment, on May 13, 2014, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the CEQA Addendum, all above- referenced reports, recommendations, and testimony to evaluate the Project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this resolution. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the Addendum dated April 28, 2014 (Exhibit A) prior to making a recommendation on the Project. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution adopting the attached Addendum to the previous environmental documents for the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project.

Construction of a new two story, 13,102 square foot cafeteria and science building behind the existing office/library/administration building(Building One); z. Documenting the addition of the existing Building 1 to the Quarry Lane School campus. The building was acquired by the school in 1997 but the square footage was never reflected in the adopted Development Plan; 3. Documenting a potential future expansion area for Building One by 4,000 square feet for the purposes of creating a performing arts stage; and 4. Construction of retaining walls, site grading, and other related site improvements on the school site to accommodate the new building area, including the removal of seven trees (four eucalyptus, two redwood, and one Mexican fan palm). In order to accommodate the total 17,102 square feet of additional building area and associated site improvements, the following approvals are being sought: 1. Site Development Review for site and architectural approval of the 13,102 square foot cafeteria and science building; 2. Planned Development Rezoning/Development Plan Amendment to increase the allowable development on the project site from 85,889 square feet (as noted in the existing Development Plan)to 110,602 square feet. The added square footage is comprised of the following: Table 1: Project Description Square Status Description Feet Phase 1 15,60o Existing Allowed per Development Plan (2000) Phase 11 70,289 Existing Allowed per amended Development Plan (z000) Subtotal 85,889 Total allowed per Development Plan (2004) Existing building purchased by Quarry Lane and added to school Building 1 7,611 Existing campus Subtotal 7,611 Additional development existing on-site (2014) New Cafeteria/ Proposed Development Plan Amendment Science Building 13,102 Proposed and Site Development Review(SDR) Building 1:future 4,000 Proposed Proposed Development Plan Amendment-no SDR addition � Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project LAMM I A ATTACHMENT 5 Square Status 76_es cription Feet Subtotal 17,102 Total Additional Development proposed on site TOTAL lto,602 Proposed Development Plan Amendment The location of the new cafeteria/science building is shown in Figure 1 (Project Site Plan), which is attached. PRIOR CEQA ANALYSIS: The project site was previously reviewed for annexation and development as part of the Eastern Dublin EIR (SCH 91103604) prepared for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan project. The Quarry Lane School site was not annexed at this time and the property continued to remain in unincorporated Alameda County. The Eastern Dublin EIR was certified by the City Council on May io, 1993 via Resolution 51-93, incorporated herein by reference. Numerous mitigation measures were adopted, and continue to apply to the Quarry Lane School project and project site as appropriate. Significant unavoidable impacts were also identified; therefore, the City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations upon approval of the Eastern Dublin project (Resolution 53-93)• In April 1999, Alameda County approved the first phase of the Quarry Lane School, consisting of a 15,600- square -foot building for day care, preschool and elementary school grades with a maximum of zoo students. An Environmental Impact Report (Quarry Lane School, Environmental Impact Report, the 2o6o1n Zoning Unit, August 1998, SCH #97122109, incorporated herein by reference) was certified by the County prior to approving the Phase I project. The EIR included an analysis of the full build out of the school, consisting of 62,575 square feet of floor area for day care, preschool, elementary, middle and high school grades with a maximum of 950 students and 55 faculty and staff members. On December 19, 2000, the City of Dublin City Council approved a Planned Development District Pre-zoning and Annexation application for Phase 2 of the Quarry Lane School. The use, student population, building envelope, site layout, extent of grading, and construction were studied as part of the application. The total project size increased from the 62,575 square feet studied in the Alameda County Quarry Lane EIR to 82,263 square feet, but the student population did not change. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Phase 2 project that considered the following environmental factors: aesthetics; biological resources; public services; utilities/service systems; cultural resources; hydrology/water quality; noise; air quality; geology/soils; and transportation/circulation. The adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration determined that these impacts were less than significant with the mitigations incorporated into the project via City Council Resolution 204-0o, December 5, 2000, incorporated herein by reference. On May 25, 2004, the Planning Commission approved a Site Development Review application and minor amendments to the approved Stage 2 Development Plan that included a 3,604 square foot increase to the overall project building size (a total of 70,289 square feet), a minor amendment to the number of parking spaces (reduction to 149 total spaces required), and allowances for an additional retaining wall on site. With this amendment to Phase ll, an Addendum to the EIRs and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared that determined the changes to the Phase II project would not require major revisions to the previous EIRs or Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Addendum was approved by the Planning Commission via Resolution 04-46, incorporated herein by reference. Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project CURRENT CEQA ANALYSIS AND _DETERMINATION THAT AN ADDENDUM IS APPROPRIATE_ FOR THIS PROJECT: In order to determine if there were any significant environmental impacts that were present with the Project that were not already addressed (and mitigated if necessary) in the previous environmental documents, an Initial Study was completed. The Initial Study, dated April 28, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference, determined that the potentially significant effects of the Project were adequately addressed in the Eastern Dublin EIR, the Alameda County Quarry Lane EIR, and the 2004 Quarry Lane School Phase II Mitigated Negative Declaration, and that no substantial changes have been proposed with the current Project or the conditions under which the Project will be undertaken which require revisions of the previous environmental documents. Based on the Initial Study, this Addendum has been prepared, which notes the difference in the Quarry Lane School Phase III project and the previous project approvals which CEQA impacts were addressed in the previously-certified EIRs and adopted MND. The Proposed Development Plan Amendment (Phase III expansion) compares to the Existing Development Plan (Phase II expansion and previous project approvals) as follows: Table z: Existing and Proposed Development Plans Approved Proposed Project Component Development Plan Development Plan Difference (Phase II: 2004) (Phase III: 2014) Student Population 950 950 None Faculty and Staff 55 55 None Classrooms 51 51 None Increase of 24,713 SF Total Building Area 85,889 SF 11o,602 (7,611 SF Existing Bldg. One added to (Square Feet) campus +13,1o2 New Bldg. +4,000 SF Bldg. One future expansion area) Floor to Area Ratio .219 (maximum) .253 Increase of.034 Parking Spaces 149 spaces 149 spaces None Max. Bldg. Height 59 feet 59 feet None The addition of 7,611 square feet in Building 1 to the Total Building Area is a result of the school's acquisition of the building and site, which existed on a separate parcel and served as a special events center ("Villa Tassajara") for many years. In 1997, Quarry Lane School acquired the site and parcel and incorporated the building into the school campus, utilizing the building for administrative purposes, library, and kitchen functions. This is not newly-constructed building area, but it is building area that had not been previously accounted for in the Quarry Lane School Development Plan, although it was referenced in the 2000 Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration. 3T___ Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Although the proposed project allows for a new 13,102 square foot building to be constructed on site and allows for a future expansion to Building One by up to 4,000 square feet to allow for the addition of a performing arts area within the building, those factors which could intensify the use at the site - including the total number of students enrolled at the school and the number of faculty/staff members - is not increasing. Therefore, even with the construction of a facility such as the new cafeteria and science building and the future potential for an addition to Building One, the same maximum number of students are going to be served at the school site by the same maximum number of faculty and staff members, so the overall intensity of activity at the site remains the same as before the Phase I II expansion. NO SUBSEQUENT REVIEW IS REQUIRED PER CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15162: Pursuant to Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no subsequent environmental analysis shall be prepared for the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project, as no substantial changes have been proposed with the Project or the conditions under which the Project will be undertaken which require revisions to the previous environmental documents. No new significant environmental impacts have been identified and no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts has been discovered. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, with minor technical amendments and clarifications as outlined in this Addendum, the previous environmental documents will continue to adequately address the significant environmental impacts of the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project. CONCLUSION: The City prepared an Initial Study in connection with the Project; based on the Initial Study, the City prepared an Addendum to the previous CEQA documents. As provided in Section 15164, the Addendum need not be circulated for public review, but shall be considered with the previous environmental documents before making a decision on the proposed project. The Initial Study is included below and the previous environmental documents are available for review in the Community Development Department at the City of Dublin, loo Civic Plaza, Dublin, California. E Initial StudyiAddendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project INITIAL STUDY This Initial Study has been prepared in accord with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines. It assesses the potential environmental impacts of implementing the proposed project described below and whether those impacts are adequately addressed in prior environmental reviews for the site. The Initial Study consists of a completed environmental checklist and a brief explanation of the environmental topics addressed in the checklist.

Project Applicant's/Sponsor's Name and Address Dr. Sabri Arac, President, Quarry Lane School 6363 Tassajara Road Dublin, CA 94568 General Plan Designations Medium Density Residential (6.1-14 units/acre) Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase Ill expansion project Zoning Current: Planned Development Zoning District (PA 99-064) Proposed: Planned Development Zoning District (PLPA-2014-0008) Project Description Background The adjacent property to the north is currently a single-family home and ranch that will soon be demolished and redeveloped with a 36-unit subdivision approved in 2010. The adjacent property to the south is designated Medium Density Residential (6.1 to 14 units per acre) and is currently occupied by a single-family home, landscape contracting business, and landscape nursery. In April 1999, prior to the site being annexed to the City of Dublin, Alameda County approved a Planned Development District to allow the development of the first phase of the Quarry Lane School, consisting of a 15,600-square-foot building for day care, preschool and elementary school grades with a maximum enrollment of zoo students. A programmatic Environmental Impact Report was certified by the County at that time for the Quarry Lane School Master Plan. On December 19, 2000, the City Council approved the Planned Development (PD) District Pre-zoning and Annexation application for Quarry Lane School Phase II (City Council Ordinance 24-00 —Attachment 1). The application was for a substantial increase to the amount of development on site to allow an additional 66,685 square feet to construct a middle school and high school building, recreation areas, landscaping and grading. This would allow Quarry Lane to expand from zoo students (daycare, preschool, and elementary school) to a population of 950 students that would include middle school and high school ages as well. The school use, maximum student population, ultimate building envelope, site layout, extent of grading, and architectural plans were approved by the City at this time. On May 25, 2004, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 04-46 (Attachment 2), which included a minor amendment to the Stage 2 Development Plan and Site Development Review. The application requested Site Development Review to construct Phase II, which included construction of 70,289 square feet of new building area (an increase from the 66,685 square feet approved in z000) and associated sports fields and playground areas to serve the middle and high school facilities. The project also included other minor site revisions. While the building area increased, the total maximum student population remained at 950 students. Proposed Project The Phase III expansion of Quarry Lane School includes Site Development Review and amendments to the Development Plan for the existing Planned Development District (Ord. 24-00) to allow for 17,102 square feet of additional building area on the school site, consisting of one new building of 13,102 square feet, and the potential to add up to 4,000 square feet to existing Building One at some point in the future. The total building area would be 110,602 square feet, which would also include the square footage of Building 1 (7,611 square feet), which was an existing building on an adjacent lot that was purchased by the School in 1997 and made a part of the school campus. The current proposal is to increase the amount of development permitted on site from 85,889 square feet (per the 2004 Stage 2 Development Plan approval) to 110,602 square feet and to increase the allowable Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) from .209 to .253. Table 1 below describes the factors in the proposed increase.

Environmental Checklist Environmental Factors Potentially Affected by the Project The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics Agricultural Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology/ Soils Hazards & Hazardous Hydrology/Water Land Use / Planning Materials Quality Mineral Resources Noise Population / Housing Public Services Recreation Transportation / Traffic Utilities / Service Mandatory Findings of Significance Systems Instructions ! . A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question (see Attachment A: Source List). A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. >. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that any effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated: applies where incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact."The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. Earlier Analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, Program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15o63(c)(3)(D). In this case, the checklist entry will be "No New Impact" and a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets: d Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project a. Earlier analysis used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. b. Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. f; Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase I II expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant /No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): �. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and X historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character X or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime X views in the area? Discussion The school campus is currently occupied by 93,5oo square feet of educational buildings, parking areas, recreational fields, and other facilities appropriate to a school and therefore the visual character of the site has already been determined. The proposed new two-story building(13,302 square feet)will be located behind an existing two story building and will have limited visibility from Tassajara Road. The future expansion area to Building 1 will be aesthetically complementary to the existing campus and within the development standards already specific in the Stage 1/2 Development Plan. No more substantial light or glare impacts will be created as a result of the new building or the future expansion area. The Quarry Lane M N D (2000) contained several mitigation measures that will continue to apply to the project site, including: The Quarry Lane Phase III expansion project would not have any impacts on aesthetics/visual resources beyond those already analyzed in the previous environmental documents, and therefore no new impacts would result. z. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or X Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as o Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or X a Williamson Act contract? c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public X Resources Code section 4526) or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? d) Result in loss of forest land or conversion of forest X land to non-forest uses? e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which due to their location or nature, could result in X conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? Discussion The project area has already been developed and there are no agricultural or forestry present, no agricultural zoning or Williamson Act land, and therefore there would be no new impact. 3. AIR QUALITY. Where available,the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the X applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an X existing or projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state X ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions, which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant X concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial X si Initial Study�Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): number of people? Discussion The proposed}project does not increase the maximum student population able to be accommodated on site nor does it allow for an increase in the number of faculty and staff at the school. Therefore, the vehicular trips to and from the school site will not increase beyond that which was previously assumed and the air quality impacts normally attributed to vehicular emissions would not be increased. Since the maximum student population is not increasing, the number of potentially sensitive receptors is not increasing either. The school campus will not create objectionable odors. The Quarry Lane Phase III expansion project would not have any impacts on air quality beyond those already analyzed in the previous environmental documents, and therefore no new impacts would result. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status X species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, X regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, X marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory X wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree X preservation policy or ordinance? Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community X Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Discussion The school campus is currently occupied by 93,5oo square feet of educational buildings, parking areas, recreational fields, and other facilities appropriate to a school. The location of the proposed new cafeteria and science building is currently occupied by a storage shed, outdoor eating area for students, and a commercial grade walk-in refrigerator. Therefore, there are no biological resources present on the project site near the proposed expansion areas. There are seven trees that are proposed to be removed from the project site, including four eucalyptus, two redwoods (with trunk diameters of io inches and 12 inches) and one Mexican fan palm tree. These trees are located in areas that are to receive extensive grading. All other landscaping is to remain on site, and the newly-created slope areas are to be planted with groundcover. The Quarry Lane Phase III expansion project would not have any impacts on biological resources beyond those already analyzed in the previous environmental documents, and therefore no new impacts would result. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in X CEQA Guidelines section 15o64.5? b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant x to section 15o64.5? c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic X feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those X interred outside of formal cemeteries? Discussion The school campus is currently occupied by 93,5oo square feet of educational buildings, parking areas, recreational fields, and other facilities appropriate to a school. The location of the proposed new cafeteria and science building is currently occupied by a storage shed, outdoor eating area for students, and a commercial grade walk-in refrigerator. No historic resources exist on site. While the likelihood of finding archaeological and/or cultural resources on the project site in the 13 Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): location of the future buildings is low, in the event that such resources are encountered, mitigation Measure 3.9/5•o and 6.o contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR establishes procedures to be activated in the event archeological resources are encountered during grading. The Quarry Lane Phase I I I expansion project would not have any impacts on cultural resources beyond those already analyzed in the previous environmental documents, and therefore no new impacts would result. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: a) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the X area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42? b) Strong seismic ground shaking? X c) Seismic-related ground failure, including X liquefaction? d) Landslides? X e) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of X topsoil? f) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site X landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? g) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18- 1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating X substantial risks to life or property? h) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater X disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater. Discussion Since the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Safety Zone, the potential for ground rupture is anticipated to be minimal. Adherence to Mitigation Measures MM 3.6/i.o through 8.o contained in the Eastern Dublin EIR will ensure that new structures built on the site will comply with generally recognized seismic safety standards so that ground shaking impacts would be � Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant /No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): reduced. The previous environmental documents include a number of mitigation measures to deal with geologic impacts, including the requirement for a soils report prior to issuance of building permits, completion of a geotechnical report for the site, identifying appropriate construction methods and techniques consistent with generally recognized engineering principles; Review of the final grading plan by a geotechnical engineer; and Identification of specific methods to minimize risk of landslides and expansive soils as part of the geotechnical report. Construction of any future buildings on the project site will need to comply with these requirements. The Quarry Lane Phase III expansion project would not have any impacts on geology and soils beyond those already analyzed in the previous environmental documents, and therefore no new impacts would result. 7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on X the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions X of greenhouse gases? Discussion Impacts related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions were not analyzed in any of the prior environmental documents. However, the proposed project does not increase the maximum student population able to be accommodated on site nor does it allow for an increase in the number of faculty and staff at the school. Therefore, the vehicular trips to and from the school site will not increase and the vehicular emissions generated will not increase. 8. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or X disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset X and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste X within X mile of an existing or proposed school? d Be located on a site which is included on a list of X 15 Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project I Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? (V.13) e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, X would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for X people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or X emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized X areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Discussion The new science building will contain small amounts of chemicals for the purposes of middle and high school level appropriate science experiments. The amount of chemicals allowed to be stored on site is regulated by the Fire Prevention Division of the City of Dublin. There is no potential impact from the limited nature and use of these chemicals. The project area is not located within an airport land use planning area nor near a private airstrip. It will not create a hazard for the public, impair the execution of any emergency response plans, nor will it increase the risk of wildland fires. Therefore, there is no potential impact from the Project. The Quarry Lane Phase I I I expansion project would not have any impacts on hazards and hazardous materials . 9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste X discharge requirements? b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge X such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local ground water :� ( Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts issues(and Supporting Information Sources): table level (for example, the production rate of pre- existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner, which X would result in substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site. d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially X increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on-or off- site. e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm X water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X g) Place housing within a loo-year flood-hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or X Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a loo-year flood-hazard area structures, X which would impede or redirect flood flows? i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including X flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X Discussion The school campus is currently occupied by 93,5oo square feet of educational buildings, parking areas, recreational fields, and other facilities appropriate to a school and therefore is considered a developed site. All future construction will need to comply with the requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board as well as all City of Dublin stormwater treatment and water quality requirements. No new impacts to hydrology and water quality will result from the implementation of the project that have not already been addressed in previous environmental documents. �� Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): io. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? X b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general X plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conflict with any applicable Habitat Conservation X Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan? Discussion The proposed project is in conformance with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. There is no adopted Habitat Conservation-or{Natural Community C-onservation Plan for the site. No new impacts to land use and planning will result from the implementation of the project that have not already been addressed in previous environmental documents. ii. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and X the residents of the state? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated X on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan? Discussion There are no known mineral resources within the City of Dublin or designated in the General Plan or other land use plan, and therefore there would be no impact. 12. NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local X general plan or noise ordinance or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise X levels? c) Substantial permanent increase in ambient noise X levels in the project vicinity above levels existing � � Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): without the project? d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above X levels existing without the project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, X would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise X levels? Discussion The expansion of the school campus will not result in new noise impacts because the maximum student population is remaining the same, and therefore no new noise sources will be created on site. Temporary noise impacts due to construction on site have been analyzed and mitigated in the existing environmental documents and related mitigations will apply to the Project. No new impacts to noise will result from the implementation of the project that have not already been addressed in previous environmental documents. 13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new X homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement X housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement X housing elsewhere? Discussion The proposed project will not add new population to the area nor will it displace any housing, therefore no new impacts will result. 14. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated 3g Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities or need for new or physical altered governmental facilities,the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? X b) Police protection? X c) Schools? X d) Parks? X e) Other public facilities? X Discussion New construction projects are required to comply with applicable building, safety, and fire codes, fund on- and off-site improvements, and contribute to the City's public facilities fees commensurate with the type, size and scope of the project. There will be no new impacts resulting from the proposed project that are different than those analyzed in the previous environmental documents. 15. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such X that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities X which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Discussion The proposed project will not result in the increased use of existing public recreation facilities, nor cause the need for new facilities, therefore no new impacts will result. 16. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant X components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or X other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in X location that result in substantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (for example, sharp curves or dangerous X intersections) or incompatible uses (for example, farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? X f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting regarding public transit, bicycle, or X pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? Discussion The proposed project does not change the emergency access routes to the site, change any circulation features of the project site, or impact any transportation facilities serving the area. The proposed project does not increase the maximum student population able to be accommodated on site nor does it allow for an increase in the number of faculty and staff at the school. Therefore, the vehicular trips to and from the school site will not increase beyond that which was previously assumed and therefore no new impacts to transportation would result. 16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the X applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of X existing facilities, the construction or which could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing X facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the X z: Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant /No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the X project projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste X disposal needs? g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and X regulations related to solid waste? Discussion No new or expanded utility systems would be required and there would be adequate capacity with existing infrastructure. Additionally, new construction is required to contribute to the City's impact fees to fund public service infrastructure commensurate with the type, size, and scope of the new construction. The Dublin San Ramon Services District (water and sewer provider) has provided its standard conditions of approval for the proposed project . No new impacts to utilities and service systems will result from implementation of the proposed project. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. Does the project: a) Have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, X reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in X connection with the effects of the past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) c) Have environmental effects, which will cause X substantial adverse effects on human beings, either Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than No Impact Significant Mitigation Significant No New ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Issues Incorpor. Impact Impacts Issues(and Supporting Information Sources): directly or indirectly? Discussion (a-b) The project area is a developed site. The project area contains buildings, parking lots, and recreational facilities, and there is no natural habitat for fish or wildlife species. Because the site is already developed, there would be no new impacts to sensitive plant and animal species, riparian habitat, and federally protected wetlands, and/or archaeological resources. Future development within the project area will not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce habitat or eliminate habitat for fish and wildlife species below self-sustaining levels, and/or eliminate important examples of California history or pre-history. (c) As described throughout this environmental checklist, the proposed project would not result in substantial environmental effects on human beings either directly or indirectly and therefore there would be no new impacts. z3 Initial Study/Addendum for Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion project 1� I ♦.Y9' ♦A♦ fff ��A�. ►�ei� �.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, 1) Receive Staff's presentation, 2) Receive comments from the public, and 3) Adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council direct Staff to submit the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for review. recto Submitted By e ' ed By Senior Planner Assistant Community Development Director COPIES TO: File n ITEM NO.: +I' Page 1 of 6 DESCRIPTION: The State of California requires that the City Council adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan for the physical development of the City. The Housing Element is one of seven mandated elements of the General Plan and must address the existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community. State law requires that Housing Elements be updated and certified by January 31, 2015. Having a certified Housing Element is not only required by State law but also enables the City to be more competitive for grant funding. Several housing, community development and infrastructure funding programs include housing element compliance as a rating and ranking requirement. The City of Dublin has contracted with Veronica Tam & Associates to assist Staff in updating the City's Housing Element for the 2015-2023 planning period. BACKGROUND: The City's current Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on March 2, 2010 and was subsequently certified by the State of California Department of Housing and Community development on May 12, 2010. The current Housing Element covers the planning period of 2009-2014. Staff and the consultant team have reviewed existing programs; evaluated the amount of land remaining for residential development; and, collected data on housing needs, housing constraints and housing resources. On February 25, 2014, a public meeting was held with the Planning Commission to provide an overview of the Housing Element including the review process with the State Department of Housing and Community Development. A public meeting notice was sent to developers, service providers, housing advocates, human services task force members, current Human Services Commission members and interested parties who requested notification of public meetings related to the Housing Element update. There were no members of the public in attendance at the public meeting. This is the second public meeting on the update to the General Plan Housing Element. The Planning Commission and interested parties are being asked to review the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element (Attachment 1) and provide feedback. The Planning Commission is also being asked to adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council direct Staff to submit the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for review (Attachment 2). ANALYSIS: Goals and Policies The draft 2015-2023 Housing Element is substantially the same as the 2009-2014 Housing Element. The goals and policies (Attachment 1, page 5) remain the same and address the following: 2of6 46 Ensure that a broad range of housing types are provided to meet the needs of existing and future residents; Alk Encourage and facilitate the development of lower and moderate income housing; 44 Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods in Dublin; *# Promote equal opportunity for all residents to reside in housing of their choice, and, +lip Increase energy efficiency and conservation in residential developments. One minor addition to the goals and policies is including persons with developmental disabilities as a special housing needs population within the larger category of persons with disabilities. One minor deletion to the goals and policies is removing Policy B.6 related to the redevelopment of the Arroyo Vista site (now Emerald Vista). This policy is no longer relevant as the project has been completed. All other goals and policies remain substantially the same as the current 2009- 2014 Housing Element. Housing Programs The Housing Programs (Attachment 1, page 8) implement the goals and policies of the Housing Element and are grouped into the following six categories: 46 Housing Conservation We Production of Housing &W Provision of Adequate Housing Sites Removal of Governmental Constraints Promotion of Equal Housing Opportunity Green Building Programs Changes to the Housing Programs include establishing new objectives for the 2015-2023 planning period and removing existing programs which have been completed. Completed programs include redevelopment of the Arroyo Vista site; implementation of the Dublin Transit Center master plan; adoption of a reasonable accommodation procedure; adoption of amendments to the emergency shelter and transitional housing regulations; and, adoption of regulations for supportive housing and single room occupancy units. Appendices The draft 2015-2023 Housing Element also includes a number of appendices. Appendix A includes a summary of public participation in the update process. Appendix B includes a review of accomplishments for the previous 2009-2014 planning period. Appendix C is the technical background report and includes a housing needs assessment; analysis of housing constraints; and, analysis of housing resources. Appendix D is an inventory of vacant and underutilized properties that could contribute to meeting the City's regional housing need obligation. 3 of 6 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is required by law to determine the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), by income category, for each Council of Governments (COGs) including the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). The RHNA is based on Department of Finance population projections and regional population forecasts used in preparing regional transportation plans. ABAG is required to allocate to each locality within its region a share of housing need totaling the RHNA for each income category. Localities are required to update their housing element to plan to accommodate its entire RHNA share by income category during the specified planning period. Under the current Housing Element, which covers the 2007-2014 planning period, Dublin's share of the RHNA is 3,330 units. Dublin's share of the RHNA for the 2015-2023 planning period has been reduced by 1,045 units and is as follows: Table 1. Dublin's Re ional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) Income Category Number of Units Assumed Densities 2007-2014 2015-2023 Very Low 1,092 796 Min. 22 du/acre Low 661 446 Moderate 653 425 10-21 du/acre Above Moderate/ 924 618 Less than 10 du/acre Market Rate Total 3,330 2,285 In order to meet Dublin's share of housing need, the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element must show that there is an adequate amount of land at appropriate densities to achieve 2,285 housing units by income category (see Table 1 above). State law has established that lower income units are achievable on land designated for 30 dwelling units per acre or more. However, the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element demonstrates that lower income units can also be achieved at 22 dwelling units per acre; moderate income units are considered achievable at 10-21 dwelling units per acre and densities less than 10 dwelling units per acre are considered above moderate/market rate. As of February 2014, seven development projects have been approved, but are not yet under construction, totaling 1,215 units of which 76 are low income and the remaining 1,139 units are above moderate/market rate (see Table 2 below). Additionally, an inventory of vacant residential sites without an approved development project have the potential to provide an additional 965 units of which 448 are at densities considered affordable to moderate income households and 517 are at densities considered affordable to above moderate/market rate households. Between the approved development projects and vacant residential sites, all of Dublin's above moderate/market rate RHNA obligation (618 units) has been satisfied and a small portion of Dublin's lower income RHNA obligation (76 of the 446 units) has been satisfied. The remaining RHNA obligation for very low (796 units), low (370 units) and moderate income (425 units) units is proposed to be satisfied-within the -Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area. Amendments to the Specific Plan are currently proposed that would increase the residential development potential within each of the three Specific Plan Districts and establish minimum development densities of 22 dwelling units per acre within the Retail District and 30 dwelling units to the acre in the Transit Oriented District. The existing development density in the Village 4of6 Parkway District is a maximum of 15 dwelling units per acre and is not proposed to be changed. By increasing the residential development capacity and establishing minimum density thresholds, the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area can meet the City's remaining RHNA obligation. Table 2.

The Update Guidance is designed to create efficiencies and clarity in the housing element update process; reduce the number and scope of housing element submittals per jurisdiction; and, provide for a 60 day review with priority given to jurisdictions utilizing the streamlined review process. The streamlined review process is designed for jurisdictions that have a certified housing element and much of the information from the previous planning period is still current and/or particular conditions and circumstances have not significantly changed since the last update. While the entire Housing Element must still be updated, HCD review will be limited to changes that have occurred since the prior planning period. HCD will not review areas that have not changed since their content continues to be sufficient to meet statutory requirements. Staff will be submitting the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element for the streamlined review process. Next Steps The draft 2015-2023 Housing Element is being presented to the Planning Commission and interested parties for feedback. The Planning Commission is also being asked to adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council direct Staff to submit the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for review. Should the Planning Commission adopt the Resolution, Staff would present the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element to the City Council. If authorized by the City Council, Staff would then initiate the State's streamlined review of the Housing Element. The State would review the draft 2015- 2023 Housing Element and provide comments to Staff within 60 days of receiving the draft document. While the State is reviewing the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element, Staff would begin the environmental review process. Once the State determines that the City's Housing Element is certifiable, Staff would return to the Planning Commission and City Council for formal adoption of the 2015-2023 Housing Element. 5 of 6 NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A public notice was mailed to developers, stakeholders, service providers and interested persons who have expressed an interest in receiving notices regarding the Housing Element update. The public notice was also published in the Tri-Valley Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. A copy of this Staff Report has been posted to the City's website. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and when applicable, environmental documents prepared. Staff is recommending that the review of the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element be found Categorically Exempt from the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306, Class 6 (Information Collection).

C-74 iv City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Introduction This document constitutes the fifth revision to the City of Dublin Housing Element, pursuant to State law. This Housing Element covers a planning period from January 31, 2015 through January 31, 2023. The previous Housing Element was adopted by the Dublin City Council in March 2010. 1. Contents of the Housing Element The Housing Element of the General Plan is a comprehensive statement by the City of Dublin of its current and future housing needs and proposed actions to facilitate the provision of housing to meet those needs at all income levels. The policies contained in this Element are an expression of the statewide housing goal of"attaining decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family," as well as a reflection of the unique concerns of the community. The purpose of the Housing Element is to establish specific goals, policies, and objectives relative to the provision of housing, and to adopt an action plan toward this end. In addition, the Element identifies and analyzes housing needs, and resources and constraints to meeting those needs. In accordance with State law, the Housing Element is to be consistent and compatible with other General Plan elements. Additionally, Housing Elements are to provide clear policy and direction for making decisions pertaining to zoning, subdivision approval, housing allocations, and capital improvements. State law (Government Code Sections 65580 through 65589) mandates the contents of the Housing Element. By law, the Housing Element must contain: • An assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to meeting those needs; • A statement of the community's goals, quantified objectives, and policies relevant to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing; and • A program that sets forth a schedule of actions that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element. Although, by nature of the State mandate, the Housing Element has a strong focus on the affordability and availability of housing for low and moderate income households, the Element must also address the housing needs and related policy issues for the entire community and be consistent with the adopted policies of the General Plan. For these reasons, the updated Housing Element strives to balance the desire of residents to maintain the character of existing residential neighborhoods, manage traffic and congestion, and minimize visual and other impacts of new development, while addressing the needs of low and moderate income households and special needs groups (such as seniors and persons with disabilities). This balance will require the City to examine strategies to accommodate higher density housing, mixed-use projects in commercial zones, infill developments, and second units without sacrificing other legitimate community goals. 1 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) 2. Consistency with General Plan The Dublin General Plan consists of the following elements: 1) Land Use; 2) Parks and Open Space; 3) Schools, Public Lands, and Utilities; 4) Circulation and Scenic Highways; 5) Housing; 6) Conservation; 7) Seismic Safety and Safety; 8) Noise; 9) Community Design and Sustainability; 10) Economic Development; 11) Water Resources; and, 12) Energy Conservation. The Housing Element complements other General Plan elements and is consistent with the policies and proposals set forth by the General Plan. For example, residential densities established in the Land Use Element are incorporated within the Housing Element and form the basis for establishing the residential capacity within the City. Environmental constraints identified in the Seismic Safety and Safety Element are also recognized in the Housing Element. When an element in the General Plan is amended, the Housing Element will be reviewed and modified if necessary to ensure continued consistency among the various elements. The Safety and Conservation Elements of the General Plan include an analysis and policies regarding flood hazard and management information. The City will ensure that updates to these Elements achieve internal consistency with the Housing Element as well. 3. Data Sources In preparing the Housing Element, various sources of information are consulted. The 2010 Census provides the basis for population and household characteristics. Although dated, no better source of information on demographics is widely accepted. In addition, the 2010 Census must be used in the Housing Element to ensure consistency with other Regional, State, and Federal housing plans. However, several sources are used to provide reliable updates of the 2010 Census including the following: • Population and housing estimates by the State Department of Finance; • Labor market statistics by the State Employment Development Department; • Housing market information (including www.realtor.com, www.danews.com, www.rents.com, www.zillow.com); • Special studies and reports on housing issues and market conditions, e.g. Continuum of Care Strategy for the Homeless and Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness; and • Lending patterns for home purchase and home improvement loans from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data. 2 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Evaluation of Accomplishments In order to craft an effective strategy to address the housing needs of the community, the City must evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of existing housing programs and actions. Government Code Section 65588(a) requires each jurisdiction to review its housing element as frequently as appropriate to evaluate: • The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goal; • The effectiveness of the housing element in attainment of the community's housing goals and objectives; and • The progress of the city, county or city and county in implementation of the housing element. Table 1 summarizes the City's quantified accomplishments under the 2009-2014 Housing Element. A program-level review is included in the Technical Report. Overall, the City has been effective in implementing the goals and objectives in the previous Housing Element. Through planned development, and master and specific planning processes, the City was able to achieve a significant portion of its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the planning period. In November 2007, Windstar Communities was approved to construct 309 high density residential units located adjacent to the West Dublin Bay Area Rapid Transit(BART) Station. The project was subsequently purchased by Essex the project completed construction in March 2014. Future phases of the project include the construction of a 150-room hotel and 7,500 square feet of retail commercial uses. In August 2008, Avalon Bay Communities completed construction of a mixed-use project consisting of 305 high density residential units and approximately 15,000 square feet of ground floor commercial at the Dublin Transit Center. The project, now known as Eclipse at Dublin Station, is an apartment community with 10 percent of the units set aside for moderate income households. In March 2011, Avalon Bay Communities was approved to construct an additional 505 high density residential apartment units at the Dublin Transit Center. 10 percent of the units will be set aside for moderate income households. The project is currently under construction. In April 2012, Signature Properties completed construction of the Tralee mixed-use project which includes 130 apartment units over 34,950 square feet of ground floor commercial. Shea Homes is currently constructing the remainder of the 103 townhouse units which are also a part of the Tralee project. The City also worked with Eden Housing, KB Homes and the Dublin Housing Authority on the development of the Arroyo Vista mixed-income redevelopment project. The City provided application/technical assistance as needed by the developer in order to secure financing and other sources of funding to support the development of the project. The 3 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) project was approved by the Dublin City Council in September 2009 and includes the demolition of 150 existing affordable housing units and the construction of 378 new housing units (both attached and detached) including market rate, affordable senior housing, affordable family housing, a child care center and community building. The project includes 194 (180 rental units and 14 for-sale units) affordable units in various income categories. The project was completed in May 2013; all 180 of the affordable rental units have been leased and all 14 affordable for-sale units have been sold. In addition, the City continues to implement its Density Bonus, Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, and Commercial Linkage Fee programs, which have been instrumental in the creation of affordable housing in Dublin. Between 2007 and 2013, the City issued 332 permits for construction of affordable housing units, including: 189 very low income units, 99 low income units, and 44 moderate income units. Since 2007, the Alameda County Community Development Agency has assisted 29 Dublin households through the Minor and Major Home Improvement Programs. In addition, as of February 2014, a total of 365 Dublin households were receiving rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. A total of 26 Dublin households were on the waiting list for rental assistance. In addition, between 2007 and 2013, the City assisted a total of 54 households with first-time homebuyer loans, including: 2 very low income, 1 low income, 44 moderate income, and 7 market households. The City also adopted amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to include provisions for emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing and SROs in April 2011. The City will continue to facilitate the development of housing for persons with disabilities and extremely low income households using in-lieu fees.

The following major issue areas are addressed by the goals and policies of this Element: • Ensure that a broad range of housing types are provided to meet the needs of the existing and future residents; • Encourage and facilitate the development of lower and moderate income housing; • Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods in Dublin; • Promote equal opportunity for all residents to reside in housing of their choice; and • Increase energy efficiency and conservation in residential developments. 1. Range of Housing Types Continuing to provide a balanced inventory of housing in terms of types (e.g., single-family, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, and mixed-use), cost, and style will allow the City to fulfill a variety of housing needs. In addition, providing regulatory and financial assistance as available will be essential to support the production of affordable housing. GOAL A: Expand housing choice and multi-modal transportation opportunities for existing and future Dublin residents. Policy A.1: Ensure the provision of a variety of housing types to fulfill regional housing needs. Policy A.2: Facilitate development of affordable housing through use of financial and/or regulatory incentives, where appropriate and subject to funding availability. Policy A.3: Maintain streamlined procedures for processing new residential development applications. Policy AA: Encourage the development of residential units intended for the special groups, including seniors, large households, persons with disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), and the homeless.

Housing Opportunities for Segments of the Population New construction is a major source of housing for prospective homeowners and renters but generally requires public sector support for the creation of units affordable to lower income households, especially extremely low income households. A key element in satisfying the housing needs of all segments of the community is the provision of adequate sites for housing of all types, sizes, and prices. The City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance determine where housing may locate, thereby affecting the supply of land available for residential development. The following goals and policies support the expansion of housing opportunities in Dublin. GOAL B: Expand housing opportunities for all segments of Dublin's population. Policy B.1: Encourage development of affordable housing by non-profit organizations primarily engaged in housing construction or management. Policy B.2: Provide ongoing support to affordable housing developers. Policy B.3: Negotiate with developers to encourage the provision of housing that is affordable to extremely low income households. Policy B.4: Continue to allow second dwelling units on single-family parcels as a means of expanding rental housing opportunities. Policy B.5: Continue to support the development of affordable homeownership housing for first-time homebuyers. 3. Maintain and Enhance Residential Neighborhoods In general, housing over 30 years old may be in need of major rehabilitation, such as a new roof, repair of termite damage, foundation work, and plumbing, etc. With approximately 29 percent of Dublin's housing stock built prior to 1980, preventive maintenance is essential to avoid housing deterioration. Some households, particularly those that have owned their homes for many years and have relatively low house payments, may be able to afford repairs or monthly payments for rehabilitation loans; however, others, especially lower income homeowners, may have difficulty maintaining their homes. Assisting these households will help preserve and improve the City's existing housing stock. GOAL C: Use public and private resources to maintain and enhance existing residential neighborhood characteristics. Policy CA: Continue to provide assistance for the rehabilitation of substandard and deteriorating units. Policy C.2: Encourage the preservation, rehabilitation or, if necessary, replacement of single-family units in order to maintain and enhance the established characteristics of City neighborhoods. 6 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) 4. Promote Equal Housing Opportunities The City seeks to expand the range of housing opportunities in Dublin, including housing for seniors on fixed incomes, lower and moderate income residents, persons with disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), large families, female-headed households with children, and the homeless. In order to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all segments of the community, the City must also ensure equal and fair housing opportunities are available to all residents. GOAL D: Provide housing opportunities for all Dublin residents, regardless of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital status, familial status, disability, source of income, sexual orientation, or any other arbitrary factor. Policy D.1: Support services and programs that fight housing discrimination; direct persons towards agencies that provide assistance to victims of discrimination. Policy D.2: Promote housing along with supportive services, including child care, to meet the special housing needs of seniors, persons with disabilities, single-parents and the homeless. Policy D.3: Encourage the provision of housing to meet the needs of families of all sizes. 5. Promote Energy Efficiency and Conservation Energy conservation can be achieved through environmentally sensitive site planning techniques and implementing building codes that require use of construction materials that maximize energy efficiency. Conserving energy has the dual benefit of reducing housing costs and improving environmental quality. GOAL E: Promote energy efficiency and conservation throughout Dublin. Policy E.1: Promote the use of Green Building techniques in all residential development. Policy E.2: Ensure all new residential development complies with the California Green Building Code and City of Dublin Green Building Ordinance. Policy E.3: Continue to require the recycling of construction waste. Policy EA: Utilize site planning techniques to allow passive energy efficiencies through solar access, landscaping, and building orientation. Policy E.5: Seek opportunities to educate the public about energy conservation. 7 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Housing Programs The goals and policies outlined in the prior section address Dublin's identified housing needs, and are implemented through a series of housing programs offered primarily through the Planning and Housing Divisions of the City's Community Development Department. Dublin residents may also be eligible for assistance under programs administered by the County of Alameda. Housing programs define the specific actions the City will undertake to achieve the stated goals and policies. The City's housing programs for addressing community housing needs are described according to the following issue areas: • Housing Conservation • Production of Housing • Provision of Adequate Housing Sites • Removal of Governmental Constraints • Promotion of Equal Housing Opportunity • Green Building Programs The housing programs presented on the following pages include existing programs as well as various revised and new programs that have been added to address the City's unmet housing needs and to respond to new State laws. 1. Conservation of the Existing Supply of Housing Conserving and improving the housing stock is an important goal for the City of Dublin. Approximately 29 percent of housing units in Dublin were constructed prior to 1980 and are therefore likely to have rehabilitation needs, including new plumbing, roof repairs, foundation work and other repairs. The City supports neighborhood preservation and improvement through housing rehabilitation programs and code enforcement. Other housing conservation needs of the City include existing multi-family rental apartments at-risk of converting to condominiums. Program 1: Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Alameda County administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds on behalf of the City. Using CDBG funds, the Alameda County Community Development Agency administers the Minor and Major Home Improvement Programs for the City. Low- interest loans up to $1,500 are available to lower income households through the Minor Home Improvement Program. The Major Home Improvement Program makes available loans up to $60,000 at a three-percent annual interest rate for qualified lower income households. Between 2007 and 2013, the Alameda County Community Development Agency has facilitated 12 minor home repair projects, eight paint grants, 11 major rehabilitation projects, and five accessibility grants in Dublin. Accessibility grants benefit persons with disabilities. 8 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Financing: CDBG Implementation Alameda County Community Development Agency Responsibility: • Continue to support the Alameda County Community Timeframe and Development Agency to implement the Minor and Major Home Objectives: Improvement Programs (including accessibility grants) with the goal of assisting 32 households over eight years. Relevant Policies: Policy C.1; Policy C.2 Program 2: Housing Choice Voucher Rental Assistance The Housing Choice Voucher Program extends rental subsidies to extremely low and very low income households, including families, seniors, and the disabled. The program offers a voucher that pays the difference between the current fair market rent (FMR) as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and what a tenant can afford to pay (i.e. 30 percent of household income). The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda administers the program in Dublin. Given the continued need for rental assistance, the City supports and encourages the provision of additional subsidies through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Financing: HUD Section 8 Implementation Housing Authority of the County of Alameda Responsibility: • Continue to support the assistance of 350 lower income Timeframe and households each year throughout the planning period. Objectives: • Continue to refer interested households and homeowners to the Housing Authority of the County of Alameda. Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy D.2; Policy D.3 Program 3: Code Enforcement The Planning and Building Divisions of the Community Development Department carry out code enforcement and inspection activities as a means to preserve and maintain the livability and quality of neighborhoods. City staff investigates violations of property maintenance standards as defined in the Municipal Code as well as other complaints. When violations are identified or cited, staff encourages property owners to seek assistance through available housing rehabilitation programs. The City will continue to enforce property maintenance standards and abate substandard structures through Code Enforcement. When code violations are unable to be resolved through voluntary compliance or through the nuisance abatement procedure, the City refers such cases to the City Attorney for prosecution. The City Attorney's office may seek injunctions, receivership and civil lawsuits to achieve compliance with City codes. 9 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Financing: General fund Implementation Community Development Department, Planning & Building Divisions Responsibility: • Continue to enforce local ordinances relating to property maintenance and substandard housing both proactively and on a Timeframe and complaint basis. Objectives: . Conduct approximately 2,000 residential inspections during the planning period. • Perform annual review of City ordinances. Relevant Policies: Policy C.1; Policy C.2 Program 4: Condominium Conversion Ordinance The City values its rental housing stock as an important means of meeting the housing needs of all income segments of the community. In 2005, the City Council passed a Condominium Conversion Ordinance to preserve the existing rental housing stock. The ordinance establishes an annual maximum number of rental apartment units that can be converted to seven percent of the total number of multi-family units in developments of 21 or more rental units. The Ordinance also establishes tenant notification and relocation assistance requirements, limits rent increases once a notice of intent to convert has been filed, and gives tenants the right to purchase units. New condominium conversions are also subject to the City's Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. The City will continue to implement the Condominium Conversion Ordinance to preserve the existing multi-family rental housing stock in Dublin. Financing: Permit processing fees Implementation Community Development Department, Planning Division Responsibility: Timeframe and Monitor conversion activities annually. Objectives: Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy B.5 2. Production of Housing The City of Dublin implements various programs to encourage a diversity of housing types. Part of this diversity is addressed through the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), which encourages the construction of housing for all economic segments in the community. Housing diversity is important to ensure that all households, regardless of age, income level, and household type, have the opportunity to find housing suited to their need and lifestyle. The following programs support the provision of additional housing opportunities in Dublin. Program 5: Mixed Use Development Locating high density residential uses in compact mixed-use areas where residents have convenient access to jobs, shopping, services, recreation, and multi-modal transportation options can produce a number of community benefits. For example, traditionally non- residential areas may be suitable to provide additional capacity for higher density housing. Many residents within these areas are also less dependent upon private automobile travel, often resulting in positive environmental effects and more money for other necessary expenses. 10 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) The City will continue to promote high-density residential mixed-use projects in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area and adjacent to or in close proximity to the City's two Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Stations provided that infrastructure can support higher densities. The City will undertake the following actions to promote mixed-use: • Promote mixed-use opportunity sites; • Continue to implement the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan; • Use the Planned Development process to allow flexible development standards such as alternatives for parking, building height, floor-area ratio, lot-coverage limits, and residential density, to promote mixed-use developments; and • Provide incentives for affordable housing in mixed-use projects, including reduced parking requirements, use of Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund, assistance in accessing state and federal subsidies, and density bonuses. Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund; minor administrative cost to Financing: the City Implementation Community Development Department, Planning Division Responsibility: Timeframe and Facilitate the construction of 100 high-density residential units Objectives: within mixed-use developments within the planning period. Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy A.2; Policy A.5; Policy B.2; Policy B.5 Program 6: Affordable Housing Developers Recognizing that an adequate supply of affordable housing cannot be supplied by the market, the City will cooperate with developers that specialize in below market rate housing to expand the supply of units affordable to lower income households, including extremely low income households. The City has an excellent track record in facilitating the development of affordable housing. Camellia Place, the Groves at Dublin Ranch, Wicklow Square, and the new Arroyo Vista projects all include a range of affordable units, including units for extremely low households. The City will offer assistance in accessing local, state, and federal funding for affordable housing by: 1) applying for such funding on behalf of affordable housing developers when eligible applicants are limited to public agencies; or 2) providing technical assistance or documentation necessary to support applications for funding by affordable housing developers upon request. The City can help locate potential sources of matching funds and provide other technical assistance. Technical assistance will include, but not be limited to the provision of data or documents within the City's possession that will contain necessary information or assist in the preparation of a successful grant application. The City can also write letters of support (for projects that have received permit approvals by the City). 11 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Financing: Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund; minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department Responsibility: • Negotiate specific incentives package for each project. • Provide application/technical assistance as needed. Timing of applications or technical assistance will depend on application deadlines for funding sources. Timeframe and • Provide assistance to affordable housing developers within the Objectives planning period to facilitate the construction of 100 affordable housing units within the planning period, with the goal of achieving some affordable units for extremely low income households and persons with special needs (including persons with disabilities/development disabilities). Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy A.2; Policy A.3; Policy B.1; Policy B.2; Policy B.3 Program 7: Density Bonuses The City adopted a Density Bonus Ordinance in March 2007 to comply with State law (SB 1818 enacted-2005 and SIB 435 enacted 2006). Only one developer has applied for and received a density bonus since adoption of the City's Density Bonus Ordinance. Density bonuses are infrequently used in Dublin because the City's High Density Residential land use designation allows 25 units per acre and up, without a maximum upper density limit. In addition to density increases, the Density Bonus Ordinance has other provisions that could facilitate the expansion of housing opportunities. The City will work with developers on a case-by-case basis to provide regulatory concessions and incentives to assist with the development of affordable and senior housing. In a relatively small city like Dublin, this is the most effective method of assisting developers, as each individual project can be analyzed to determine which concessions and incentives would be the most beneficial to the project's feasibility. Regulatory concessions and incentives could include, but are not limited to, reductions in the amount of required on-site parking, and modified or waived development standards. Financing: Minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department; Planning Commission; and Responsibility: City Council Timeframe and Continue to implement the Density Bonus Ordinance and provide Objectives: information on the Ordinance to developers and other interested parties. Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy A.2; Policy A.3; Policy B.1; Policy B.2; Policy B.3 Program 8: Inclusionary Zoning Under the City's Inclusionary Zoning program, all new residential development projects of 20 units or more designed and intended for permanent occupancy must construct 12.5 percent of the total number of dwelling units within the development as affordable units. Of the affordable rental units, 30 percent must be set aside for very low income households, 20 percent for low income households, and 50 percent for moderate income households; of the owner occupied affordable units, 40 percent must be set aside for low income households and 60 percent for moderate income households. Upon request, the City Council can allow 12 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) the applicant to pay a fee in-lieu of constructing up to 40 percent of the affordable units that the developer would otherwise be required to construct. In certain instances, the City Council may allow a developer to construct the affordable units "off-site" and an applicant may dedicate land to the City or City-designated local non-profit housing developer in-lieu of construction of some or all of the required affordable units. In-lieu fees will be placed into an Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund. The Ordinance provides for five exceptions to the 12.5 percent affordability requirement (Section 8.68.040): • Payment of in-lieu fees; • Off-site projects; • Land dedication; • Credit transfers; and • Waiver of requirements. This last exception, waiver of requirements, gives the City Council flexibility to make exceptions to the Ordinance. Also, Section 8.68.070 provides incentives to make the construction of affordable units more feasible, including: • Fee Deferral—processing and impact fees • Design Modifications- - Reduced lot size - Reduced setback requirements - Reduced open space requirements - Reduced landscaping requirements - Reduced interior or exterior amenities - Reduction in parking requirements - Height restriction waivers Financing: Minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department; Planning Commission; and Responsibility: City Council. • Facilitate the construction of 100 affordable housing units either Objectives:bjame and through direct construction or through the Inclusionary Housing Object In-Lieu Fund within the planning period. Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy A.2; Policy A.3; Policy B.1; Policy B.2; Policy B.3 Program 9: Commercial Linkage Fee The City approved a Commercial Linkage Fee on May 3, 2005. Fees are charged to non- residential developments, based on the square footage and type of commercial building space and placed into an Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund. The In-Lieu Fee Fund has a balance of $7,013,816 as of April 1, 2014. The funds are to be used in accordance with Section 8.68.080 of the Zoning Ordinance, summarized as follows: • Affordable housing construction loans; • First Time Homebuyer Loan Program; • Homeownership training and foreclosure prevention services; • Housing Division's administrative costs; and 13 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) • Alameda County Homeless Management Information System. Financing: Inclusionary In-Lieu Fee Fund; Minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department; Planning Commission; and Responsibility: City Council • Facilitate the construction of 50 affordable housing units within the planning period (10 very low, 15 low, and 25 moderate income units).

The FTHLP program provides 30-year deferred loans for households earning up to 120 percent of the County median income. The FTHLP program may be used in conjunction with the Alameda County Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCC) program and assistance from the City's Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund and other state or federal home ownership programs. Financing: MCC; HOME; Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fund Implementation Community Development Department Responsibility: • Assist 20 income-qualified first time homebuyers during the Timeframe and planning period. Strive to provide assistance to approximately 10 Objectives above moderate income and 10 moderate income households. • Distribute FTHLP application packets at the Civic Center, City website, and locations that provide housing services. Relevant Policies: Policy B.5; Policy B.6 14 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Program 12: Second Dwelling Units Second dwelling units can be a source of affordable housing with limited impacts on existing neighborhoods and public infrastructure. The City will promote the development of second units on lots with existing single-family homes as well as in new construction.

The purpose of the Affordable Housing Fair is to educate residents, developers, non-profit organizations, and decision-makers about affordable housing sites and resources available in the region. The City will continue to seek grants and partnerships with housing providers, civic organizations, and neighboring cities to defray costs associated with this fair. The City will also continue to support local housing service providers which are coordinated by the Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Committee. 15 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Financing: Minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department Responsibility: Timeframe and Participate in at least one affordable housing fair annually Objectives: throughout the planning period. Relevant Policies: Policy D.1; Policy D.2; Policy D.3 3. Provision of Adequate Housing Sites Meeting the housing needs of all segments of the community requires the provision of adequate sites for all types, size and prices of housing. The City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance determine where housing may locate, thereby affecting the supply of land available for residential development. Program 15: Residential Sites Inventory The City will continue to use specific plans, planned development, and zoning to ensure that adequate sites are available (as defined by state housing element law, Government Code section 65583) to accommodate the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for all income groups. Each year, as part of the City's annual evaluation of its implementation of the General Plan, the City will compare the remaining supply of land by zoning, specific plan, or planned development in relation to the City's remaining unmet RHNA. Should the City identify a potential shortage of sites with appropriate densities, it will use the specific plan and planned development process to provide adequate sites for future residential developments. Financing: Minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department Responsibility: • Annually evaluate the land availability to meet the remaining Timeframe and RHNA. Ensure adequate capacity exists to accommodate the Objectives: RHNA of 2,285 units (796 very low, 446 low, 425 moderate, and 618 above moderate income units). Relevant Policies: Policy A.1; Policy A.5; Policy B.6 4. Removal of Governmental Constraints Under State law, the Housing Element must address, and where legally possible, remove governmental constraints affecting the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The following programs are designed to mitigate government constraints on residential development and facilitate development of housing affordable to lower and moderate income households, including families, seniors, and persons with special needs. Program 16: Fee Deferment or Amortization The City will continue to offer deferment or amortization of planning/development fees for senior housing units and affordable units for lower and moderate income households to reduce the initial cost impact on an affordable housing project. The City will determine on a case-by-case basis the financial need of the project and the most appropriate type of assistance based on the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. 16 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Financing: Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund Implementation Community Development Department; Planning Commission; and Responsibility: City Council Timeframe and Continue to offer the deferment or amortization of fees as an Objectives: option to interested parties.

Green Building Programs Green building refers to the use of environmentally preferable practices and materials in the design, location, construction, operation, and disposal of buildings. It applies to both renovation and retrofitting of existing buildings and construction of new buildings, whether residential or commercial, public or private. By continually improving how we locate, design, build, operate, and retrofit buildings, the City of Dublin can contribute to the improvement of the environment and quality of life. Advanced energy-saving technologies applied in buildings can result in enormous reductions in demand for fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Better design and building practices can also help address environmental challenges such as natural resource depletion; waste disposal; and air, water, and soil pollution. Green building can also help achieve gains in human health and prosperity. Program 19: Green Building Guidelines The City Council has established as a high priority to enhance residential green building requirements to create a mandatory Green Building self-certification program as part of the permitting process. The City adopted a Green Building Ordinance in April 2009. The Ordinance applies to all residential projects over 20 units. In November 2010, the Ordinance was updated and the changes went into effect January 1, 2012. A brochure was developed in 2009 at the time of the original adoption and the City continues to update the brochure as revisions are made to the Ordinance. Financing: Permit processing fees; minor administrative cost to the City Implementation Community Development Department, Building Division Responsibility: • Continue to implement the provisions of the Green Building Timeframe and Ordinance.

The City of Dublin undertook a comprehensive public participation program in the development of the 2015-2023 Housing Element. 1. Service Provider Interviews As part of this Housing Element update, the City of Dublin consulted with affordable housing developers and nonprofit service providers to obtain input on housing needs and suggestions for housing programs. Fifteen agencies and developers that serve lower and moderate income households, as well as those with special housing needs were contacted. Seven agencies participated in the telephone interviews and these are: Abode Services/Allied Housing; Community Resources for Independent Living; Eden I & R; Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley; Satellite Affordable Housing Associates; Tri-Valley Haven; and Tri-Valley Reach. Their comments are summarized below: • Affordable Housing: There is significant demand for additional affordable rental and ownership housing to accommodate the housing needs of low-income residents and those with special needs. • In general, affordable housing developers need assistance in identification of sites and funding. • Easing development standards can also increase the feasibility of sites. • Creative thinking is needed from City staff in order to avoid common development constraints. • Housing Element policies and programs should prioritize the creation of extremely low-income (ELI) units and provide incentives for developers. • Homeless: There is a lack of emergency shelter and support services for Tri-Valley area homeless. • Specifically, there is a large need for shelter and housing programs for single men. • Supportive housing is also needed to transition homeless persons from transitional housing and emergency shelters. • Section 8: The demand for Section 8 housing has increased over the last few years. o There has been a decline in the number of properties accepting Section 8 Vouchers in the Tri-valley area. • Supportive Services: Increased availability and funding of supportive services that can aid with living expenses are needed. o There needs to be additional support from city staff to direct residents to services and coordinate with providers about program changes. Appendix A summarizes the agencies consulted, the services they provide, and housing needs identified. 20 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) 2. Public Meetings The City conducted public meetings before the Planning Commission and City Council to discuss housing needs and to review the Draft Housing Element: • February 25, 2014— Planning Commission • May 13, 2014— Planning Commission • June 3, 2014—City Council Comments received during these meetings are summarized in Appendix A. 21 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Appendix A: Public Participation 1. Interviews with Service Providers Abode Services/Allied Housing 40849 Fremont Boulevard Fremont, CA 94538 Louis Chicoine, Executive Director Services Provided: The focus of Abode Services is on ending homelessness and to ensure that those in need are able to obtain and retain housing. They offer housing programs linked to support services for low-income and homeless families and individuals in Alameda and Santa Clara Counties. Each Abode program integrates these two components to help people establish permanent stability and return to independent lives. Housing options include emergency shelter, rental subsidies, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing. Support services include case management, primary and mental health care, substance recovery services, job counseling and placement, life skills classes, financial literacy training, practical tenancy training, parenting classes, and children's programs. Abode Services and Allied housing merged as an effort to consolidate their service capacity. As an affordable housing developer they specialize in developing small-scale housing developments that are affordable to families and households with special needs, such as persons with disabilities or households moving out of homelessness. Their housing development work also focuses on providing affordable housing that is linked with supportive services to assist low-income and special needs households to achieve and maintain housing stability and self-sufficiency. Population Served: A wide-range of vulnerable groups benefit from their services including children, emancipated foster youth, adults and transition-age youth living with severe mental illness, low-income families in vocational training, dually-diagnosed heads of households, single mothers, victims/survivors of domestic violence, seniors and people living with HIV/AIDS. Housing Needs: As one of the fastest growing services providers in the Bay Area, there has been a large increase in the demand for their services and programs. Over the last few years, within the Tri-Valley area, Abode Services has worked with the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore to run programs that provide rental assistance. They have not done any projects in the City of Dublin. Chicoine noted that its organization focuses on housing that may not be appropriate in suburban communities such as Dublin where costs and neighborhood acceptance may be barriers. He suggested that their Rapid Re-Housing program, which provides for quick housing placement within communities, has been an effective program that is easy for cities to use. Lastly, he suggested that Housing Elements need to prioritize the creation of extremely-low income units. Policies and programs which reward developers that create housing units and services for lower income households are needed. This can serve to incentivize and kick start the creation of the types of housing that lacks in the region. Appendix A-1 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL) 3311 Pacific Avenue Livermore, CA 94550 Alejandra Hernandez, Employment Benefits Coordinator Services Provided: CRIL is a peer-based disability resource organization that advocates and provides resources for people with disabilities to improve lives and make communities fully accessible. CRIL is also a resource for disability awareness education and training, advocacy and technical advice. Among its many programs, CRIL's housing assistance services help people with disabilities and seniors with functional limitations with understanding the process in obtaining accessible, low income housing, primarily within Alameda County. CRIL keeps a current list of local rentals and reaches out to landlords to encourage renting to individuals with disabilities; however, they do not own housing or run their own residential facility. Their Livermore office offers Housing Workshops twice monthly where they share information on how to seek and apply for affordable and/or accessible housing in Alameda County, or in some cases outside of the County. Population Served: CRIL offers its services at no charge to persons with disabilities living in southern and eastern Alameda County. In order to become a CRIL consumer, an individual must have a disability or functional limitation and be able to benefit from independent living services. Everyone is welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, the nature of the disability or limitation, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, health condition or any other characteristics. Staff at the CRIL's Livermore office estimate 10 to 20 Dublin residents utilize their services a month. Housing Needs: Above all else, there is a high demand for more low-income affordable housing and housing for persons with specials needs in the Tri-Valley area. Demand for their housing assistance services, and affordable housing in general, has increased over the last few years. Most significantly, there has been an increase in the need for section 8 housing. However, there has been a decline in properties who participate in the program. This is a problem that they have noticed in Alameda County overall, but especially within the Tri-Valley area. CRIL has benefitted from the Season of Sharing`s provision of one-time crisis-based assistance in coordination with their housing location services. This working relationship recently proved successful in assisting a client with funding to place a rental deposit and obtain housing. Further funding and support of these types of coordinated efforts would greatly aid the CRIL in assisting their clients. Eden I & R, Inc. 570 B. Street Hayward, CA 94541 Barbara Bernstein, Executive Director and Alison DeJung, Deputy Director Services Provided: Eden I&R's mission of "linking people and resources" and services offered are the result of collaborations that depend on the work of hundreds of community- based organizations. They offer a range of housing and service related programs, including: the AIDS Housing and Information Project (AHIP); Roving Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing; After-Hours Emergency Phone Services for Alameda County's Child and Adult Protective Services, Foster Care Placement Line, and the Public Guardians Office; Disaster Recovery Services; Housing Database; Social Services Database; Big Blue Book; and various seasonal programs. Over half of all calls they receive are related to housing callers needing assistance finding emergency shelter, transitional and supportive housing, Appendix A-2 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) mental health housing, and more permanent types of housing. Overall, the issues they deal with have a lot of components to them. Eden I&R also encounters callers with housing sustainability problems, including issues such as, utility assistance, rental assistance, transportation, tenant rights, employment, childcare. One of the keys to the success of their services is their approach in which staff gathers specific household information from callers with housing needs. This allows them to identify potential assistance opportunities that they may be able to utilize to reduce other living expenses, and can leave these households with more money for housing. They are the only agency in Alameda County to offer a comprehensive housing database listing of over 80,000 affordable housing units, including subsidized, low-income, and shared units. The housing database is effective through its two-pronged approach, giving those in need of housing access to a listing of affordable properties and connecting landlords/owners to potential tenants. The database offers free listing services to landlords/owners who qualify. In order to expand the listing, Eden I&R conducts outreach to landlords/owners through a lot of different ways, the most effective of which has simply been word of mouth. Their goal is to work with them to list their units as affordable through methods such as lowering their rates, renting out a room, or agreeing to accept Section 8 vouchers. Population Served: Since no other centralized source for health, housing, and human services information exists anywhere else in Alameda County, Eden I & R has become a critical resource for thousands of at-risk individuals, such as youth, non-English speakers, the economically disadvantaged, people living with HIV/AIDS, domestic violence survivors, the elderly, disabled, the homeless, and human service agencies seeking services or housing for their clients. Eden I&R serves over 100,000 Alameda County residents a year. Housing Needs: Countywide there are not enough affordable housing opportunities to meet the needs of their callers. The issue is only becoming more challenging as federal funding available in support of affordable housing continues to decrease. Although resources are not always available to directly connect callers to housing, Eden I & R's approach to connect callers with other resources to cut other living expensive often proves effective in increasing a caller's ability to pay for housing. However, they estimate that they miss approximately 19,000 calls a year due to a shortage in staff. Funding to expand their 2-1-1 special resource specialist staff would greatly impact their capability to link these missed callers with resources that can spare them money for housing. As one of the top service providers in the County for low-income individuals, Eden I & R would greatly benefit from additional support for its programs. In particular, additional assistance with expanding its housing database would be impactful. Mom-and-pop landlords can serve as one of the biggest resources to expanding affordable housing opportunities in the County. More importantly, these types of housing opportunities can serve as a way to distribute the stigma often associated with public or low-income housing. This can also lead to the integration of low-income residents into communities that may appear uninviting to them. They need additional support from housing department staff from cities throughout the County and Tri-Valley area to conduct outreach to these mom-and-pop landlords to list with Eden I & R. With increased efforts from city staff they estimate they could more than expand their housing database and thus expand access tp affordable housing opportunities. An increase in Eden I & R staff capacity for this program would also be beneficial and allow them conduct more of the outreach that is crucial to the expansion of their housing database. Appendix A-3 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) There is need for more people to become aware of the 2-1-1 services and other programs offered. They have benefited greatly from partnering with cities throughout the County, including the City of Dublin, and rely on city staff to refer residents to their services. Eden I & R can benefit from increased communication from staff of expected changes in services, programs, and affordable housing opportunities. Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley 2619 Broadway Oakland, CA 94612 David Pitson, Controller Services Provided: Habitat's overall focus is on developing affordable ownership housing through new construction, home renovation, and home repair. The program provides first time affordable homeownership opportunities for low and very low income families with children. In addition to working on their homes through the sweat equity or self-help program, families also attend workshops on budgeting, credit repairs, conflict resolution and home maintenance, repair and landscaping. Population Served: They primarily serve families who make 40 to 80 percent of the AMI. Sometimes they aid families who make 80 to 120 percent of the AMI, but never over 120 percent. Habitat aims to provide housing opportunities not for engineers or executives at large companies, but for the workforce who are janitors, teachers, and servers. Within the Tri-Valley area they are currently working mostly in the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore to purchase homes to rehabilitate. Housing Needs: Overall there is a huge need for affordable housing within the East Bay region, including the Tri-Valley. There are a lot of jobs being created in the Silicon Valley area, of which Dublin is on the periphery, but the housing opportunities to match this growth are not being developed at the same pace. Habitat has worked with the City of Dublin in the past, but land in the City is very expensive and hard to develop. Cities often employ a philosophy that they must utilize government funding for affordable rental housing development in order to maximize the number of units. However, the ownership housing model that Habitat uses is also effective in producing large number of units for those most in need. Habitat is interested in working with the City of Dublin in the future and is also open to partnering with market-rate developers to create affordable housing components of future developments. Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) 1521 University Avenue Berkeley, CA 94703 Eve Stewart, Director of Housing Development Services Provided: SAHA develops and manages affordable, service-enriched housing that promotes healthy and dignified living for people with limited options. Residents at nearly every SAHA community have access to a wide variety of supportive services, activities, and civic engagement programs. Resident services offered at their communities that house elderly individuals are especially helpful in providing for residents to live as independently as possible. Population Served: The population served is low income families, seniors and special needs (disabled and developmentally disabled). All have incomes of 60 percent or below Appendix A-4 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) AMI, with the average income being 30 to 50 percent AMI. They are able to aid those who fall below 30 percent in circumstances where they are additional subsidy assistance is available. Within the last few years they've started developing housing for people who are currently homeless, instead of only focusing on those who are at-risk. They serve a wide geographic area, including properties in Sacramento, but are currently most active within their core area of focus in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Within the Tri-Valley area they completed a project in Livermore a couple of years ago, but have not done any projects in Dublin, nor in neighboring Pleasanton. Housing Needs: There is a large need to make housing that is accessible for populations of all incomes and those with special needs. There are no specific reasons SAHA has not worked with the City of Dublin; however, Eve noted that some of the more suburban locations can prove more difficult for them to develop in. They often encounter issues with site zoning. Of the projects they've most recently completed, the lowest density they successfully developed at allowed about 25 units per acre. Zoning that accommodates 25 units per acre is a minimum for their developments, but 30 units per acre would be preferred. Finding appropriate sites can also be a problem, as most of their projects require about two acres of land. Local funding is an essential component of their developments, especially when tax credits are involved. City staff need to be able to think creatively about development standards (e.g. setbacks, easements and parking) that constrain development, in order to make a project happen. In general, working with cities that have high response and turn-around standards, and good city council and planning commission leadership can make all the difference for the success of a project. Tri-Valley Haven 3663 Pacific Avenue Livermore, CA 94550 Ann King, Executive Director Services Provided: Provides shelter and counseling for survivors of sexual assault, battered women and their children in the Tri-Valley area. They operate the County's only 24- hour rape crisis center and have homeless services and shelters. With 30 beds, Tri-Valley Haven's Shiloh Domestic Violence Shelter houses and supports women and their children who are victims of domestic violence. The Haven's 16-bed Sojourner House, located in the City of Livermore, provides temporary shelter for homeless families in a safe, supportive environment. With separate bedrooms for family units, a stocked kitchen, three full baths, and laundry facilities, Sojourner House is the only homeless shelter in the Tri-Valley Area that accepts two-parent families, single fathers with children, and families with teenage boys. Supportive services, including counseling, housing assistance, long-term support, legal clinic, employment assistance, seasonal provisions, and educational support are offered through its shelters and other programs. Tri-Valley Haven also operates a food pantry based in Livermore that serves over 4,000 low-income Tri-Valley residents a month. The food pantry program offers mobile services at two additional locations in the City of Pleasanton. Population Served: Their programs serve Tri-Valley residents from cross all income groups, who are adults and children who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or homelessness. Most of their clients are usually very low income. They also operate the only homeless shelter in the Tri-Valley Area that accepts single fathers accompanied by their children, and boys over the age of 10. Appendix A-5 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Housing Needs: Low-income affordable housing is a significantly pressing need for the Tri- Valley area. They struggle to graduate people from their shelter programs into more permanent housing due to the lack of availability in the area. There is also a large need for shelter and housing programs for single men. Homelessness in the Tri-Valley area has worsened over the last few years, to the extent that King described it as almost becoming a part of common life and accepted by the community. Many Tri-Valley residents become homeless due to the unstable housing market, and other issues such as medical bankruptcy and drug/alcohol reliance. Homelessness mostly goes unseen in the area, but this may change. The Tri-Valley area has the opportunity and needs to respond now to prevent homelessness from becoming an issue that is seen everywhere within its local communities. There is a general lack of support for homeless programs and services at the federal level. The expectation has been for churches and non-profit organizations to pick up the slack with no funding support. Available funding is nowhere near the level needed to match current demand in the area. Current activities undertaken by Tri-Valley Haven include attempting to coordinate with both the Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton to convert the Livermore emergency shelter for families into a shelter for single men, and to open a new family shelter in Pleasanton. Past support provided by the City of Dublin has been very helpful, including the City's assistance with efforts made to renovate the Haven's facilities. They're looking into opening a one-stop shop day center for Tri-Valley area homeless that will provide comprehensive shelter and supportive services. The City of Dublin can aid the Haven's efforts through providing capital funding for the project early on, and by also helping to achieve the political will in the Tri-Valley area necessary to make such a project happen. Tri-Valley Reach P.O. Box 5564 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Judy Butterly, Co-Chair Services Provided: Their mission is to provide resources, education, activities, community participation and housing opportunities that will enable adults with developmental challenges to live full and independent lives. Their housing assistance program offers eligible clients the opportunity to live independently. Currently they own a total of nine properties in Livermore and Pleasanton—ranging from duplexes to condo's to single family residences. They modify their homes to suit each residents' special needs and work in close collaboration with the Regional Center of the East Bay to provide supportive services. Population Served: Currently, their homes support 21 tenants in Livermore and Pleasanton. To be eligible for residency, tenants must be a client of the Regional Center and either live in the Tri-Valley area or have family members who live in the Tri-Valley. Given that all of the properties they currently own are in Livermore and Pleasanton, the majority of their clients are from these areas. They serve adults of any age, with most tenants ranging in age from 30 to 60 years old. Judy noted that adults with special needs who are younger than 30 tend to live at home with their families for as long as possible. Housing Needs: Demand for their services has been fairly stable over the last few years. They have a small waitlist, but quite often when vacancies do become available the potential tenants are not fully prepared or ready to live independently. Potential expansion of their housing placement program would be dependent on an increase in demand for their housing, of which they currently are not experiencing. Butterly added that this lack in demand for housing is not representative of other independent living programs in the area, Appendix A-6 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) such as group homes, which may be experiencing an increase in housing needs. With staff knowledge and experience, they have the capabilities to be able to effectively respond to future increases in demand for their housing. They do not own properties in the City of Dublin as there has not been demand for their housing in the area. For this reason they have not recently pursued housing in the Dublin as an option, but they are aware that the City would be welcoming to such possibilities in the future. 2.

Dublin's Zoning Ordinance defines a"family"as one or more persons occupying a dwelling and living as a single,non-profit housekeeping unit, as distinguished from a group occupying a hotel,club,fraternity or sorority house. A family includes any servants and four or fewer boarders. Based on court decisions, the definition of family should not distinguish between related and unrelated persons and should not impose limitations on the number of persons that may constitute a family. Because six or fewer disabled persons could be considered"boarders"of a licensed community care facility,the City's current definition of family Appendix B-12 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Table B-1:Summary of Program Accomplishments Since 2007 Program Timeframe and Objectives Evaluation can be viewed as a potential constraint on housing for persons with disabilities.

Dublin provided a representative on the consultant selection committee for the Study as well as participated in the community focus groups and gathering of information for the Study. In addition, information was provided to the consultants regarding the City of Dublin housing accomplishments in order to complete the Study. Several community events were held and a copy of the draft Study was placed on the City's website to solicit comments from service organizations,service consumers and the public at large in order to incorporate public feedback in the Study. The final draft was completed in January 2012 and the document has been posted on the City's website.

Appendix B-17 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Appendix C: Technical Background Report 1. Housing Needs Assessment The Housing Needs Assessment begins with a brief history of Dublin, which is intended to provide community context and a foundation for the analysis of demographic and housing stock characteristics as well as various constraints to the provision of housing during the 2015-2023 Housing Element Cycle. The needs assessment identifies special housing needs among certain population groups, evaluates housing conditions, and provides other important information to support the goals, policies, and programs of the Housing Element to meet the needs of current and future Dublin residents. Brief History of Dublin Dublin has long been known as the "crossroads" of the Bay Area.' The City now sits at the crossroads of two major highways: Interstate 580 and Interstate-680. However, the significance of the "crossroads" dates back almost two hundred years when Dublin was the junction of two important stage routes - one from the Bay Area to Stockton and the other from Martinez to San Jose. The Alamilla Spring, located in the Dublin area, provided a place for travelers to change horses and freshen up before continuing their journey. Development of the Dublin area began in approximately 1822. Jose Maria Amador had been paid in land for his years of service as a Mexican soldier and as administrator of Mission San Jose. He received a land grant of 16,517 acres in the Amador- Livermore Valley and built several adobe homes and many small buildings used as shops. In 1852 Michael Murray and Jeremiah Fallon came to the area from Ireland and purchased 1,000 acres from Jose Amador. Shortly thereafter, the area began to grow; Alameda County was created from parts of Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties in 1853. Both Murray and Fallon served on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Townships were established the next year and Murray's name was chosen for the Dublin area. By 1877 the first schoolhouse in the Amador-Livermore Valley, along with a church, two hotels, Green's Store, a wagon and blacksmith shop, and a shoemaker's shop were constructed in Dublin. Mail was delivered to the Dougherty Station Hotel; thus, the area became known as Dougherty's Station. Dougherty Station grew slowly during the first half of the 201h Century with the first housing tracts built in the Dublin area in 1960, transforming the formerly rural community into a suburb. Dublin grew steadily from the early 1960s as both a residential and retail center and incorporated in 1982. ' Much of the historical information is derived from Virginia Bennett's book, "Dublin Reflections and Bits of Valley History"(1991). Copies of this book and other historical information can be found at the Dublin Library. Appendix C-1 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) A. Population Characteristics and Trends The following section describes and analyzes the various population characteristics and trends in Dublin that affect housing needs. Population Growth Dublin's population has grown steadily and dramatically over the past two decades. The number of residents in the City increased 29 percent between 1990 and 2000-(Table C-1) and grew by another 54 percent between 2000 and 2010. This growth has far outpaced the County's growth rate and that of most nearby jurisdictions. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) projects continued population growth in Dublin and surrounding communities through 2020. Most of the projected population growth in Alameda County is expected to occur through annexation and development of city spheres of influence and areas around unincorporated communities such as Castro Valley. Table C-1: Population Growth Po ulation % Change Jurisdiction 1990 2000 2010 2020 1990- 2000- 2010- 2000 2010 2020 Castro Valley 48,619 57,292 61,388 N/A 18% 7% N/A Dublin 23,229 29,973 46,036 54,200 29% 54% 18% Livermore 56,741 73,345 80,968 88,000 29% 10% 9% Pleasanton 50,553 63,654 70,285 76,800 16% 10% 9% San Ramon 35,303 44,722 72,148 76,800 27% 61% 6% Alameda 1,279,182 1,443,741 1,510,271 1,654,200 13% 5% 10% Count Source: Census, 1990, 2000,&2010; Association of Bay Area Governments(ABAG)—Projections,2013. Note:ABAG data not available for the unincorporated community of Castro Valley. Age Composition A population's age characteristics are also an important factor in evaluating housing and community development needs and determining the direction of future housing development. Typically, distinct lifestyles, family types and sizes, incomes, and housing preferences accompany different age groups. As people move through each stage of life, housing needs and preferences change. For example, young householders without children usually have different housing preferences than middle-age householders with children or senior householders living alone. Dublin's population is, as measured by the median age of its residents, slightly younger than most neighboring communities and the County as a whole. In 2010, Dublin's median age was 35.3 years, while the County's median age was 36.6. The City's proportion of young residents (22 percent) and seniors (seven percent) has remained fairly stable since 2000 and was the lowest among its neighbors in 2010, suggesting that a significant proportion of Dublin's population is of workforce age (Table C-2). Appendix C-2 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Table C-2: Age Characteristics Jurisdiction Under 18 years Over 65 years Median Age 1990 2000 2010 1990 2000 2010 2010 Castro Valley 22% 24% 23% 15% 15% 13% 41.2 Dublin 23% 21% 22% 3% 5% 7% 35.3 Livermore 27% 28% 26% 7% 8% 10% 38.3 Pleasanton 26% 28% 27% 5% 8% 11% 40.5 San Ramon 27% 26% 30% 4% 6% 8% 37.1 Alameda County 24% 25% 23% 11% 10% 11% 36.6 Source:Census, 1990, 2000, &2010. The most noticeable shift in the City's age distribution was among working age residents (Figure C-1). Dublin's workforce is beginning to age. Since 1990, the proportion of 25 to 44 year olds dropped by eight percentage points, while the proportion of 45 to 64 year olds increased by eight percentage points. This could be an indication of the City's residents aging in place. Should this trend continue, Dublin's senior population could see a significant increase in the coming years.

Appendix C-3 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Race and Ethnicity Household characteristics, income levels, and cultural backgrounds tend to vary by race and ethnicity, often affecting housing needs and preferences. Studies have suggested that different racial and ethnic groups also differ in their attitudes toward and/or tolerance for "housing problems" as defined by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including overcrowding and housing cost burden.2 According to these studies, perceptions regarding housing density and overcrowding tend to vary between racial and ethnic groups. Especially within cultures that prefer to live with extended family members, household size and overcrowding also tend to increase. In general, Hispanic and Asian households exhibit a greater propensity than the White households for living in extended families. Since 1990, the City's population has grown significantly more diverse. Dublin's White population, which made up the majority of the City's residents in 1990, has decreased by 28 percent, while the Asian population has increased by 21 percent. As of 2010, approximately 44 percent of Dublin residents were White/Caucasian, 27 percent Asian/Pacific Islander, 15 percent Hispanic/Latino, nine percent Black/African-American, and five percent were identified as belonging to two or more or other races (Figure C-2). The 2000 Census allowed respondents to classify themselves as belonging to "Two or More" races for the first time. This change in methodology may explain most of the increase between 1990 and 2000 among residents who classified themselves as belonging to "Other" races. Figure C-2: Race and Ethnicity, 1990-2010 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% — 0% White/ Hispanic/ Black/African Asian/Pacific Other Caucasion Latino American Islander 1990 72% 10% 11% 6% 1% 1-2000, 62% 14% 10% 10% 4% ■20-101 44% 15% ( 9% 27% 5% € Source: Census, 1990, 2000, &2010. 2 Studies include the following: "The Determinants of Household Overcrowding and the Role of Immigration in Southern California" by S.Y.

Appendix C-4 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Dublin's population is more diverse compared to most nearby jurisdictions, with the exception of San Ramon, but not as diverse as Alameda County overall (Table C-3).

B. Employment Profile An assessment of community needs must consider the occupational profile of City residents. Incomes associated with different jobs and the number of workers in a household determines the type and size of housing a household can afford. In some cases, the types of jobs held by residents can affect housing needs and demand (such as in communities with military installations, college campuses, and seasonal agriculture). Occupation and Labor Participation The American Community Survey (ACS) provides information about employment in the City. As of 2011, Management, Business, Science, and Arts and Sales and Office occupations were the two largest occupational categories in Dublin (Table C-4). These categories accounted for 79 percent of the jobs held by the City's residents. By comparison, these occupations comprised approximately 68 percent of the jobs held by Alameda County residents. Table C-4: Employment Profile Occupations of Residents Dublin Alameda County Management, Business, Science, and Arts 10,935 51% 320,025 45% Service 2,444 11% 110,213 15% Sales and Office 6,050 28% 166,801 23% Natural Resources, Construction, and 1,002 5% 52,037 7% Maintenance Production, Transportation, and Material Moving 1 1088 1 5% 68,959 10% Management, Business, Science, and Arts 1 10,935 51% 320,025 45% Source:American Community Survey(ACS), 2007-2011. Employment growth typically leads to strong housing demand, while the reverse is true when employment contracts. The City adopted a Commercial Linkage Fee in 2005. The Commercial Linkage Fee is collected and deposited into the Inclusionary Zoning In-lieu Fee fund for the funding of affordable housing programs. As of April 1, 2014, the In-Lieu Fee fund has a balance Appendix C-5 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) of $7,013,816. The City will continue to implement its Commercial Linkage Fee program as a means of generating revenue to increase the supply of affordable housing in Dublin. Income by Occupation Management occupations were the highest paid occupations in the Alameda County region in the first quarter of 2013, while food preparation, service-related, and sales occupations were among the lowest paid occupations (Table C-5). In 2011, a larger proportion of Dublin residents were employed in higher paying occupations compared to the employed residents of Alameda County as a whole. This pattern would explain the City's higher median income (see Figure C-4 later). Table C-5: Average Salary by Occupation, Alameda County (Part of Oakland- Fremont-Hayward MD)-2013 Occupations Average Salary Management $128,829 Legal $114,903 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical $104,128 Architecture and Engineering $98,276 Computer and Mathematical $96,170 Life, Physical and Social Science $82,507 Business and Financial Operations $82,609 Construction and Extraction $62,371 Education, Training and Library $61,125 Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports and Media $59,691 All Occupations $59,886 Protective Services $58,723 Community and Social Service $56,123 Installation, Maintenance and Repair $54,576 Sales and Related $45,801 Office and Administrative Support $43,231 Production $40,896 Transportation and Material Moving $40,687 Healthcare Support $37,118 Buildings and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance $33,095 Personal Care and Service $28,138 Farming, Fishing and Forestry $26,854 Food Preparation and Serving Related $22,940 Source: State Employment Development Department, 2013. Appendix C-6 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) C. Household Characteristics The Census defines a household as all persons who occupy a housing unit. This definition includes single persons living alone, families related through marriage or blood, and unrelated individuals living together. Persons living in retirement or convalescent homes, dormitories, or other group living situations are not considered households. Information on household characteristics is important to understand the growth and changing needs of a community. Household Type According to the Census, Dublin was home to 14,913 households in 2010. Of these households, 28 percent were single-person households and 11 percent were headed by seniors (Table C-6). Dublin's household characteristics were in many ways similar to characteristics of households in nearby jurisdictions. However, the City does have the lowest proportion of senior-headed households in the region.

Different household types generally have different housing needs. Seniors or young adults often comprise the majority of the single-person households and tend to reside in apartment units, condominiums, or smaller single-family homes. Families often prefer larger single-family homes. Dublin's housing stock provides a range of unit types to meet the needs of all of its residents. Roughly, 54 percent of the City's housing stock is comprised of detached single- family units and approximately 33 percent are multi-family units, which include apartments and condominiums. Household Size Household size identifies sources of population growth and household overcrowding. A community's average household size will increase over time if there is a trend towards larger families. In communities where the population is aging, the average household size may decline. Dublin's average household size in 2010 (2.70) was equal to the average household size in the County (2.70) but less than most neighboring cities, with the exception of Castro Valley (2.69) (Figure C-3). Dublin's average household size has increased since the 2000 Census, as did the average household size in most neighboring jurisdictions.

Approximately 10 percent of City households earned incomes between $25,000 and $49,999, while roughly 26 percent had incomes between $50,000 and $99,999. More than 57 percent of Dublin households earned $100,000 or more. Generally, Dublin households earned higher incomes than households countywide. The ACS estimated that the median household income in Dublin was $111,481 in 2011, while the median income for the County was estimated at $70,821 (Figure C-4). Appendix C-8 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Figure C-4: Median Household Income-2011 $140,000 $118,713 $124,014 $120,000 $100,000 $96,322 $82,370 $80,000 ��n Rya $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $0 Castro Dublin Livermore Pleasanton San Alameda Valley Ramon County Source:American Community Survey(ACS),2007-2011. The State and Federal government classify household income into various groups based upon its relationship to the County Area Median Income (AMI) and adjusted for household size. In 2010, approximately 83 percent of Dublin households earned moderate or above moderate incomes and only 17 percent of households earned lower incomes (Table C-8).4 Table C-8: Households by Income Category-2010 Income Category(%of County AMI) Households Percent Extremely Low(30% or less) 750 6% Very Low(31 to 50%) 695 5% Low(51 to 80%) 850 6% Moderate or Above (over 80%) 10,975 830X Total 13,270 100% Source: Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy(CHAS), based on American Community Survey(ACS), 2006-2010. 4 Data was obtained from the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) prepared for HUD by the Census Bureau using 2006-2010 American Community Survey(ACS)data. Appendix C-9 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Overcrowding An overcrowded housing unit is defined as a unit occupied by more than one person per room.5 Overcrowding can result when there are not enough adequately sized units within a community, when high housing costs relative to income force too many individuals to share a housing unit than it can adequately accommodate, and/or when families reside in smaller units than they need to devote income to other necessities, such as food and health care. Overcrowding also tends to accelerate deterioration of housing. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable level of occupancy and alleviating overcrowding are important City goals to enhance quality of life for residents and aesthetic quality of neighborhoods. In 2011, overcrowding affected only two percent of Dublin households. By comparison, six percent of Alameda County households were living in overcrowded conditions. The incidence of overcrowding was equal among both renter- and owner-households (two percent each). Although these estimates show overcrowding by tenure to be near equal, proportions of housing units with more than three bedrooms by tenure suggests an inadequate supply of larger rental units. While 64 percent of occupied housing units in the City had more than three bedrooms (the minimum size considered large enough to avoid most overcrowding issues for large households), only 13 percent of these units were occupied by renters. Although a portion of overcrowding problems is likely attributable to a lack of larger housing units available for rent, the incidence of overcrowding is also influenced by other housing problems, such as overpayment. When faced with high housing, many families opt to take on additional roommates in order to share the cost burden or choose to reside in smaller units to save on costs. Overpayment (Cost Burden) State and federal standards for housing overpayment (cost burden) are based on an income-to- housing cost ratio of 30 percent and above. Households paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing have limited remaining income for other necessities. Above moderate income households generally are capable of paying a larger proportion of income for housing; therefore, estimates of housing overpayment generally focus on lower and moderate income households. In 2010, 42 percent of all Dublin households overpaid for housing. Furthermore, overpayment was more likely to affect homeowners rather than renters (47 percent versus 33 percent, respectively). Overpayment was generally concentrated among households at the lower income ranges and affected a larger proportion of renter-households with lower incomes than owner-households. For households earning moderate incomes or above, overpayment affected a larger percentage of homeowners than renters, which indicates that rental housing in Dublin is typically affordable to moderate income households (Figure C-5). 5 Based on the Census Bureau's definition of"room,"which excludes bathrooms, porches, balconies, foyers, halls, or half-rooms.

D. Special Needs Populations Certain segments of the population may have more difficulty in finding decent, affordable housing due to their special needs. Special circumstances may be related to one's employment and income, family characteristics, disability, and household characteristics, among other factors. Consequently, some Dublin residents may experience a higher prevalence of housing overpayment, overcrowding, or other housing problems than other community members. "Special needs" groups include the following: senior households, single-parent households, large households, persons with disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), agricultural workers, military personnel, and homeless (Table C-9). This section provides a detailed discussion of the housing needs facing each particular group as well as programs and services available to address their housing needs.

Estimate is for persons 5 years of age and over. ***=2013 Alameda Countywide Homeless Count and Survey Report,2013. Senior Households The population over 65 years of age is considered senior. Many senior households have special housing needs due to their limited and/or fixed incomes, health care costs, and disabilities. In 2010, seniors comprised seven percent of all Dublin residents and approximately 11 percent of Dublin households were headed by seniors. Of these senior-headed households, the majority (75 percent) owned their homes, while the remainder (25 percent) rented their homes. Approximately 47 percent of senior-headed households overpaid for their housing. Generally, this overpayment was more likely to affect senior renters rather than senior homeowners. Specifically, 42 percent of senior homeowners overpaid, while 58 percent of senior renters overpaid. Aside from overpayment problems faced by seniors due to their relatively fixed incomes, many seniors are faced with various disabilities. Roughly, 31 percent of Dublin's senior population was listed as having one or more disabilities in 2011 by the ACS. Among these disabilities, the most common were ambulatory, hearing, and independent living difficulties. According to 2-1-1 Alameda County client statistics, householders age 62 and older represented approximately 14 percent of all Dublin callers during Fiscal Year 2012-2013.6 Requests for 6 Fiscal Year 3012-2013 client statistics provided by Eden Information and Referral,Inc. (Eden I&R),April 2014.The 3-1-1 Alameda County program is a free, non-emergencN-, confidential, 3-digit phone number and service that provides easy-access to housing information, and critical health and human services. The program is operated 24 hours a dav, 7 days a week with multi-lingual capabilities. Appendix C-12 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) housing and shelter referrals were the most prevalent among all callers, including assistance with senior housing information and referral. Amon other top requests were for information on public assistance programs and legal services, including Medicaid and elder law. Resources The special needs of seniors can be met through a range of services, including congregate care, rent subsides, shared housing, and housing rehabilitation assistance. According to Community Care Licensing Division records, nine community care facilities for the elderly are located in Dublin with a total capacity to serve 54 persons. Affordable housing opportunities located in the City to meet the housing needs of the elderly include: • Carlow Court Senior Apartments at Emerald Vista—49 below market units • Pine and Cedar Groves at Dublin Ranch Senior Apartments—292 below market units • Wicklow Square Senior Apartments—53 below market units Senior residents can benefit from various classes, activities, and programs offered at the Dublin Senior Center. The Senior Center also provides a variety of free health and informational services, including health management classes, health and memory screenings, and health insurance counseling and advocacy. In 2007, the City adopted a Universal Design Ordinance that requires new single-family home developers to install base universal design features in all single-family developments of 20 or more homes. The Universal Design Ordinance is substantially the same as the Model Universal Design Local Ordinance adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The City developed a brochure on the Universal Design Ordinance after its adoption in December 2007 and has updated it periodically to ensure that current information regarding the Ordinance is distributed. The brochure and other related information regarding the Ordinance has been posted to the City's website and is also available at the public counter. In 2010, there was an update to the Ordinance to meet the current building code and which took effect January 1, 2011. Single-Parent Households Single-parent households require special consideration and assistance because of their greater need for day care, health care, and other facilities. Female-headed single-parent households face greater financial difficulties because they often do not have the same earning power as their male counterparts, thus limiting housing availability for this group. Approximately seven percent of Dublin households were headed by single parents in 2010; the large majority of which were headed by females (69 percent). According to the 2007-2011 ACS, 16 percent of female headed single-parent households in Dublin had incomes below the poverty level. Single mother with minor children households represented nearly 29 percent of all Dublin callers to 2-1-1 Alameda County during Fiscal Year 2012-2013.6 Among top caller needs were referral requests for low income/subsidized rental housing, public assistance program, legal services, information services, and individual and family support services. Appendix C-13 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Resources Limited household income constrains the ability of these households to afford adequate housing and provide for childcare, health care, and other necessities. Finding adequate and affordable childcare is a pressing issue for many families with children. While the City has no specific housing programs targeted at single-parent households, the City's overall efforts to expand affordable housing opportunities will help meet the needs of single-parent households. The City also offers a Youth Fee Assistance Program to enable households with limited income to participate in City-sponsored recreation programs that may be beneficial to single-parent households. Youth programs that are offered include various preschool, elementary and middle school after school programs, and children and teen recreation and educational classes. In February 2010, the City amended the Zoning Ordinance to streamline the approval of Large Family Day Care Homes and in February 2014 amended the Zoning Ordinance to streamline the approval of Day Care Centers. Both Zoning Ordinance amendments reduce the cost and time associated with establishing child care facilities in the City. Large Households Large households (households with five or more members) are identified as a group with special housing needs because of the limited availability of adequately sized, affordable housing units. Large households with lower incomes frequently occupy smaller and more affordable dwelling units to offset potential cost burden, which in turn can accelerate unit deterioration. Approximately 10 percent of Dublin households could be classified as large households in 2010. Over 30 percent of these households rented their homes. As previously discussed, the availability of adequately sized, affordable rental units in Dublin is limited. About 64 percent of occupied housing units in the City had more than three bedrooms (adequate size for larger households) in 2011; however, only a small portion of these units (13 percent) were occupied by renters. 2-11 Alameda County client statistics indicate that approximately seven percent of Dublin callers during Fiscal Year 2012-2013 were large households.6 Referral requests for rental and utility payment assistance, food stamps, and eviction prevention assistance were highly prevalent among all callers. Resources The City's large households can benefit from the housing programs and services that are available to all of the City's lower and moderate income households, such as the Housing Choice Voucher program, Commercial Linkage Fee Program, Inclusionary Zoning Program, and Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Program. Such efforts help reduce overcrowding and overpayment among lower and moderate income households, and help reduce the number of large households formed by families or individuals sharing housing arrangements. Persons with Disabilities Disability is a physical or mental condition that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Physical disabilities can hinder access to housing units of conventional design, as well as limit the ability to earn incomes sufficient to avoid housing cost burden. The ACS Appendix C-14 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) estimates that five percent of Dublin residents over five years of age had a disability in 2011. The ACS also tallied the number of disabilities by type for residents with one or more disabilities. Among the disabilities tallied, ambulatory difficulties were the most prevalent, especially among the City's senior residents. Hearing, cognitive, and independent living difficulties were also common (Table C-10). Table C-10: Disability Status Disabilities Tallied Disability by Age and Type Age 5 to 17 Age 18 to 64 Age 65+ Total With a hearing difficulty 13% 32% 48% 38% With a vision difficulty 24% 18% 21% 20% With a cognitive difficulty 88% 31% 27% 34% With an ambulatory difficulty 13% 39% 57% 45% With a self-care difficulty 36% 19% 17% 19% With an independent living difficulty -- 37% 30% 31% Total Persons with Disabilities 164 949 991 2,104 Source:American Community Survey(ACS),2009-2011. Notes: 1. Tallied only for persons five years and over. 2. Persons may have multiple disabilities. Four factors— affordability, design, location and discrimination — can limit the supply of housing available to households of persons with disabilities. The most obvious housing need for persons with disabilities is housing that is or can be adapted to their needs. Most single-family homes are inaccessible to people with mobility and sensory limitations. Housing may not be adaptable to widened doorways and hallways, access ramps, larger bathrooms, lowered countertops and other features necessary for accessibility. The cost of retrofitting a home often makes homeownership cost-prohibitive, even .for individuals or families who could otherwise afford a home. Furthermore, some providers of basic homebuying services do not have offices or materials that are accessible to people with mobility, visual or hearing impairments. Households that had a household member with a disability represented nearly 34 percent of all Dublin callers to 2-1-1 Alameda County during Fiscal Year 2012-2013.6 Referral requests for help with Medicaid and other medical information, and in home assistance were among the top needs of all callers. Persons with Developmental Disabilities A recent change in State law requires that the Housing Element discuss the housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities. As defined by the Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, "developmental disability" means "a disability that originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual. As defined by the Director of Developmental Services, in consultation with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, this term shall include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. This term shall also include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation or to require treatment similar to that required for individuals with mental retardation, but shall not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature." This definition also reflects the Appendix C-15 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) individual's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic services, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated. The State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community based services to approximately 243,000 persons with developmental disabilities and their families through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four developmental centers, and two community-based facilities. The Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) is one of 21 regional centers in the State of California that provides point of entry to services for people with developmental disabilities. The RCEB is charged by the State of California with the care of people with developmental disabilities, defined as those with severe, life-long disabilities attributable to mental and/or physical impairments. The RCEB is a private, non-profit community agency that contracts with local businesses to offer a wide range of services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The following information from Area Board 5 of the State Council on Developmental Disabilities provides a closer look at the disabled population. Data shown in Table C-11 estimates the number of Dublin individuals with developmental disabilities, including both RCEB consumers and those unaffiliated with the RCEB. Table C-11: Developmentally Disabled Residents, by Age, for Dublin, 2014 0-14 15-22 23-54 55-65 65+Years Total Years Years Years Years Dublin Total 188 128 174 28 2 520 Source: State Council on Developmental Disabilities,Area Board 5,2014. Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is the transition from the person's living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult. Resources Services for persons with disabilities are typically provided by both public and private agencies. State and Federal legislation regulate the accessibility and adaptability of new or rehabilitated multi-family apartment complexes to ensure accommodation for individuals with limited physical mobility. As mentioned previously, in 2007, the City adopted a Universal Design Ordinance that requires new single-family home developers to install base universal design features in all single-family developments of 20 or more homes. The City developed a brochure on the Universal Design Ordinance and has updated it periodically to ensure that current information regarding the Ordinance is distributed. The brochure and other related information has been posted to the City's website and is also available at the public counter. Appendix C-16 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Housing options for persons with disabilities also include various community care facilities. Combined, these facilities offer a capacity of 88 beds. These include: • Six Adult Residential Care facilities—34 beds total • Nine Residential Care for the Elderly facilities—54 beds total Agricultural Workers Agricultural workers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through permanent or seasonal agricultural labor. Permanent farm laborers work in the fields, processing plants, or support activities on a generally year-round basis. When workload increases during harvest periods, the labor force is supplemented by seasonal labor, often supplied by a labor contractor. For some crops, farms may employ migrant workers, defined as those whose travel distance to work prevents them from returning to their primary residence every evening. Determining the true size of the agricultural labor force is problematic. For instance, government agencies that track farm labor do not consistently define farm-workers (e.g. field laborers versus workers in processing plants), length of employment (e.g. permanent or seasonal), or place of work (e.g. the location of the business or field). Further limiting the ability to ascertain the number of agricultural workers within Dublin is the limited data available on the City due to its relatively small size. Therefore, the 2007-2011 ACS is the sole source of information that can be referenced. According to the ACS, only 47 Dublin residents (less than one percent of the City's residents) were employed the in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and mining industry. Resources Dublin is an urbanized community with no undeveloped parcels zoned for agricultural use. Because a negligible portion of community residents are employed in farming, fishing, and forestry occupations and there is little potential for this occupational category to expand within Dublin, no housing programs or policies specifically targeted at farm-workers are needed. Military Personnel The Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training Area is located in Dublin. Camp Parks supports some 20,000 northern California Army Reserve and California National Guard Soldiers from an estimated 250 reserve component units. Many of these units, however, train at Camp Parks for just two weeks each summer and very few reside in the City. According to the 2007-2011, only 236 Dublin residents (0.7 percent) served in the Armed Forces full-time. Resources Because most of the military personnel that use Camp Parks are reservists, few live in Dublin. In 2005, the military constructed 114 homes on the base for military personnel. Because a negligible portion of community residents serve in the Armed Forces full-time, no housing programs or policies specifically targeted at military personnel are needed. Homeless The Alameda Countywide Homeless Continuum of Care Council (HCCC) relies on a "community-defined" definition of homeless; one that includes the HUD-defined chronic Appendix C-17 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) homeless population as a subset of the County's overall homeless population. Community- defined homelessness includes people staying in emergency shelters or transitional housing, living on the street or in a car, and people who will lose their housing within a month and have nowhere to go. Assessing a region's homeless population is difficult because of the transient nature of the population. As many as 16,000 people are estimated to be homeless during the course of a year in Alameda County, and more than 5,000 are homeless on any given night. According to the 2013 count, 4,264 people were homeless in Alameda County on January 29, 2013. The homeless population in Dublin was estimated at 14 persons. Based on informal interviews with patrol personnel, the Police estimated that depending on the time of year and weather, the City has a very small amount of homeless persons at a given time. During the winter months the homeless population ranges from one to two persons, if any at all. While during the summer months the homeless population may increase slightly to between two and three persons. Police typically make every effort possible to redirect homeless persons they encounter to shelters, VA sponsored counseling, or various other resources in the County. Over three-quarters (78 percent) of Dublin callers to 2-1-1 Alameda County during Fiscal Year 2012-2013 were extremely low income household S.6 Referral requests for housing and shelter were highly prevalent among all callers. Specifically, there were a high number of requests for emergency shelter, transitional housing/shelter, and homeless permanent supportive housing. Requests were also highly prevalent for homeless prevention referrals, including access to low income/subsidized rental housing, rental and utility payment assistance, and eviction prevention assistance, Resources Emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing is available in Alameda County for people who are homeless, living with HIV/AIDS, and/or mentally ill. Unlike affordable housing in general, housing that is dedicated to one of these populations typically connects with services. The service connection may range from a service coordinator, who can make referrals to services off-site, up to more intensive on-site services. The following provides an overview of Countywide housing resources available to serve the County's homeless population: • Emergency Shelters: An emergency shelter provides overnight shelter and fulfills a client's basic needs (i.e. food, clothing, and medical care) either on site or through off- site services. The permitted length of stay can vary from one day at a time to three months. • Transitional Housing: This type of facility provides housing for up to two years. Residents of transitional housing are usually connected to supportive services designed to assist the homeless in achieving greater economic independence and a permanent, stable living situation. • Supportive Housing: Permanent supportive housing is service-enriched and linked with on-going supportive services (on-site or off-site) allowing formerly homeless clients to live at the facility on an indefinite basis. Support services can encompass a wide range of activities, such as case management, service coordination (assessing needs Appendix C-18 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) and coordinating services), health and mental health care, substance abuse treatment, employment counseling and training, and money management. Services are usually tailored to the needs of the housed individuals, and may be delivered on-site or through linkages to community-based agencies. Approximately 40 agencies throughout the County provide emergency shelter or transitional housing services for both individuals and families. There are no emergency shelters or transitional housing providers located in Dublin. Service agencies located in the nearby City of Livermore, including Shepherd's Gate, Tri-Valley Haven and Livermore Homeless Refuge, provide emergency shelter and transitional housing services for homeless in need. Approximately 26 supportive housing facilities serving both individuals and families are available throughout the County. Supportive housing services are not available in Dublin. The Tri-City Health Center provides Shelter Plus Care supportive housing services to its clients and has a location in nearby Livermore." Homelessness is a regional issue that requires the coordination among regional agencies. "EveryOne Home" is Alameda County's road map for ending homelessness. It represents an opportunity to participate in a model of long-term solutions and innovative countywide strategies. Emphasizing a coordinated, efficient regional response to a regional problem will make the best use of the county's resources while building capacity to attract funding from federal, state and philanthropic sources. EveryOne Home envisions the creation of a housing- and-services system that partners with consumers, families and advocates; provides appropriate services in a timely fashion to all in need; and ensures that individuals and families are safely, supportively and permanently housed. The City adopted EveryOne Home in August 2008. The City will continue to support the Alameda County HCCC and agencies and organizations that address the problem of homelessness throughout the region. Dublin provided funding to the Alameda Countywide HCCC for development of a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The HMIS is intended to collect and report information about the homeless population and its patterns of service utilization. In addition, the City of Dublin continues to support the Tri-Valley Haven's Domestic Violence Shelter and Homeless Shelter through Community Development Block Grant funds. The City will continue to analyze and address impediments to the provision of housing for the homeless and near homeless by facilitating and encouraging the development of affordable housing and facilities for the homeless, including emergency shelters, transitional housing, single room occupancy units, and permanent supportive housing. In April 2011, the Dublin Zoning Ordinance was amended to include provisions for emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, single room occupancy housing. 8 2-1-1 Alameda County Online Services Directory, Eden I & R, Inc., January 2014. Appendix C-19 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) E. Housinq Stock Characteristics The characteristics of the housing stock, including growth, type, age and condition, tenure, vacancy rates, costs, and affordability are important in determining the housing needs for the community. This section details Dublin's housing stock characteristics in an attempt to identify how well the current housing stock meets the needs of current and future residents of the City. Housing Unit Growth and Type Dublin has experienced relatively strong housing growth since 1990. The City's housing stock grew from 6,992 units in 1990 to an estimated 15,782 units in 2010, an increase of approximately 126 percent (Table C-12). Dublin's growth since 1990 has far outpaced the growth observed in all other nearby communities and the County.

Dublin maintains a diverse housing stock. In 2013, single-family homes comprised 66 percent of the housing stock, while multi-family units comprised 33 percent. Less than one percent of the City's housing was comprised of mobile homes (Table C-13). Compared to the County, Dublin's housing stock has a larger proportion of single-family housing and a smaller proportion of multi-family structures.

Appendix C-20 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Housing Age and Condition Housing that is 30 years or older is assumed to require some rehabilitation. Electrical capacity, kitchen features, and roofs usually need updating if no prior replacement work has occurred. Dublin's housing stock is younger than the County's overall, with just 29 percent of the City's housing constructed prior to 1980. By contrast, about 74 percent of the County's housing stock is more than 30 years old (constructed prior to 1980) (Figure C-6 ). Figure C-6:Year Structure Built 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% — 15% 10% — 5% 0% 2000 or 1990 to 1980 to 1970 to 1960 to 1940 to Pre- Later 1999 1989 1979 1969 1959 1939 ®Dublin 38% 16% 17% 7% 19% 2% 1 ■Alameda County, 7% 8% 11% 16% 14% 23% 21 Source:American Community Survey(ACS),2007-2011. Based on the age of the structure alone, it is estimated that approximately one in four housing units in the City may require maintenance or rehabilitation within the Housing Element planning period. However, the actual proportion of Dublin housing units in need of rehabilitation or replacement is likely much lower as high property values in Dublin, even for older homes, creates a market incentive for most property owners to diligently maintain their dwelling units. From 2007-2013, 838 residential re-roof permits were issued by the Building Division, which reflects a high rate of on-going maintenance and repair by homeowners. For these reasons, the City estimates that less than two percent of the housing stock (<400 units) is in need of rehabilitation and less than one percent is in need of replacement (<150 units). Even this estimate may be high as substandard housing or paint issues led to only 21 code violations of the 3,104 residential code enforcement cases opened since 2008. The Alameda County Community Development Agency administers the Minor and Major Home Improvement Programs for the City of Dublin. Low-interest loans up to $1,500 are available to lower income households through the Minor Home Improvement Program. While the Major Home Improvement Program provides loans up to $60,000 at a three percent annual percentage rate for qualified lower income households. Since 2007, on behalf of the City, Alameda County administered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and provided 12 minor home repairs, eight paint grants, 11 rehabilitation grants, and five Appendix C-21 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) accessibility grants in Dublin. The City will continue to support the Alameda County Community Development Agency to implement the Minor and Major Home Improvement Program.

On average, owner-households were larger than renter-households in 2010 (Table C-15). Among those who owned their homes, 52 percent were households with more than three persons, while just 38 percent of renter-households were comprised of three or more persons.

The City values its rental housing stock and recognizes its importance for meeting the diverse housing needs of the community. In 2005, the City Council passed a Condominium Conversion Ordinance to preserve the existing rental housing stock. The Ordinance establishes an annual maximum number of rental apartment units that can be converted to seven percent of the total number of multi-family units in developments of 21 or more rental units. The Ordinance also establishes tenant notification and relocation assistance requirements, limits rent increases once a notice of intent to convert has been filed, and gives tenants the right to purchase units. New condominium conversions are also subject to the City's Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. The City continues to monitor conversion activities annually. There have been no condominium conversions in the City since 2007. Appendix C-23 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Housing Vacancy A certain number of vacant units are needed to moderate the cost of housing, allow sufficient choice for residents, and provide an incentive for unit upkeep and repair. Specifically, vacancy rates of approximately two percent for ownership housing and five to six percent for rental housing are generally considered optimal by housing professionals to balance demand and supply for housing. According to the Census, the overall vacancy rate in Dublin was 5.5 percent in 2010. Specifically, the vacancy rate for ownership housing was 2.5 percent in 2010, while the rental vacancy rate was five percent. Both the ownership and rental vacancy rates for the City were well within the optimal ranges, indicating that the City's housing stock is adequately meeting overall demand. However, affordable housing options in the City may still be in short supply. Housing Costs and Affordability The cost of housing is directly related to the extent of housing problems in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, there will be a correspondingly higher prevalence of housing overpayment and overcrowding. This section summarizes the cost and affordability of the housing stock to Dublin residents. Homeownership Market According to DataQuick, a company that collects real estate data nationwide, median home prices in Dublin and nearby communities were well above the countywide median price of $485,000 (Figure C-7). Dublin's median sales price during 2013 was $678,000, approximately 28 percent higher than the County's. Home prices in the City have continued to rise steadily in recent years. Median sales prices have increased over 20 percent annually since 2011 (Table C-16). Most neighboring jurisdictions experienced similar increases in home prices, including Livermore, San Ramon, and Pleasanton. Castro Valley experienced the largest change in median sales price (28 percent) of neighboring jurisdictions between 2012 and 2013, but all were outpaced by the increase that occurred in the County as a whole (33 percent). Asking prices for single-family homes and condominiums in Dublin were also collected from the Zillow online real estate database in an effort to understand Dublin's recent real estate market. The Zillow database listed 31 single-family detached homes and 21 attached homes for sale in February 2014 (Table C-17). The median asking price for a unit was $569,000, with an overall range of $245,000 to $1,737,736. Detached units were priced higher ($709,450 median) than attached units ($419,000 median).

Rental Market The website www.rent.com reported rental price information for 13 apartment complexes within the City of Dublin (Table C-18). In February 2014, only one community offered studio apartments, where available units rented for $1,692 to $1,722. One-bedroom units rented for $1,285 to $2,315 and, as expected, larger units were more expensive. Two-bedroom units were offered from $1,675 to $2,877, while three-bedroom units ranged from $2,165 to $ 3,743 per month.

Appendix C-27 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Housing Affordability by Household Income Housing affordability can be inferred by comparing the cost of renting or owning a home in the City with the maximum affordable housing costs for households at different income levels. Taken together, this information can generally show who can afford what size and type of housing and indicate the type of households most likely to experience overcrowding and overpayment. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) conducts annual household income surveys nationwide to determine a household's eligibility for federal housing assistance. Based on this survey, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) developed income limits that can be used to determine the maximum price that could be affordable to households in the upper range of their respective income category. Households in the lower end of each category can afford less by comparison than those at the upper end. The maximum affordable home and rental prices for residents of Alameda County are shown in Table C-19. The market-affordability of Dublin's housing stock for each income group is discussed below. Extremely Low and Very Low Income Households Extremely low income households earn 30 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI). Generally, the maximum affordable rental payment ranges from $373 per month for a one- person household to $522 per month for a family of five (Table C-19). The maximum affordable home purchase price for extremely low income households ranges from $63,071 for a one- person household to $78,664 for a five-person household. Very low-income households are classified as those earning 50 percent or less of the AMI. The maximum affordable rental payment ranges from $701 per month for a one-person household to $1,027 per month for a family of five (Table C-19). The maximum affordable home purchase price for very low income households ranges from $124,048 for a one-person household to $172,689 for a five person household. Based on the rental data presented in Table C-18, extremely low and very low income households of all sizes would be unlikely to secure adequately sized and affordable rental housing in Dublin. In addition, according to the Zillow real estate database, no houses of adequate size were listed for sale at prices affordable to these households in February 2014 (Table C-17). Low Income Households Low income households earn 51 to 80 percent of the County AMI. The maximum home price a low income household can afford ranges from $192,006 for a one-person household to $277,653 for a five-person family. Affordable rental rates for low-income households would range from $1,066 for a one-person household to $1,590 for a five-person household. Based upon a review of homes listed for sale in February 2014, low-income households would have great difficulty purchasing an adequately sized home at an affordable price (Table C-17). However, these households do stand a better chance of securing an adequately sized affordable rental unit (Table C-18). Because the City has a limited number of apartment complexes offering three-bedroom units, though, larger low income households will still likely find it hard to find affordable housing options that can comfortably accommodate them. Appendix C-28 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Moderate Income Households Moderate income households earn up to 120 percent of the County AMI. The maximum affordable home price for moderate income households ranges from $398,170 for a one-person household to $595,801 for a family of five. A moderate income household can afford rental rates of$1,846 to $2,794 per month depending on household size. Based on these figures and the real estate data presented in Table C-18, moderate income households could afford many of the attached homes and a limited number of the detached homes listed for sale in February 2014. These households would also be able to afford a wide range of the available rental units in Dublin.

Veronica Tam and Associates Appendix C-30 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) This Housing Element includes a variety of programs designed to improve the adequacy and affordability of housing in Dublin and to assist renters and homeowners who cannot afford housing (see Housing Programs). As of February 2014, a total of 365 Dublin households were receiving rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. A total of 26 Dublin households were on the waiting list for rental assistance. The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda administers the program in Dublin. Given the continued need for rental assistance, the City supports and encourages the provision of subsidies through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The City has also promoted the development of affordable housing units as part of various mixed-use and housing projects and initiatives. In August 2008, a mixed-use project consisting of 305 high density residential units and approximately 15,000 square feet of ground floor commercial completed construction at the Dublin Transit Center. The project, Avalon at Dublin Station (now known as Eclipse at Dublin Station), is an apartment community with 10 percent of the units set aside for moderate income households. In March 2011, Avalon Bay Communities was approved to construct an additional 505 high density residential apartment units at the Dublin Transit Center. 10 percent of the units will be set aside for moderate income households. The project is currently under construction. In addition, the City worked with Eden Housing, KB Homes and the Dublin Housing Authority on the development of the Emerald Vista mixed-income development project. The City provided application/technical assistance as needed by the developer in order to securing financing and other sources of funding to support the development of the project. The project was approved by the Dublin City Council in September 2009 and includes the demolition of 150 existing affordable housing units and the construction of 378 new housing units (both attached and detached) including market rate, affordable senior housing, affordable family housing, a child care center and community building. The project includes 194 (180 rental units and 14 for-sale units) affordable units in various income categories. The project was completed in May 2013 and all 180 of the affordable rental units have been leased. The City of Dublin continues to encourage developers to provide affordable housing by awarding qualifying developments with additional market rate units. In 2006, the City initiated a First Time Homebuyer Loan Program (FTHLP) to assist lower and moderate income households with financing towards the purchase of a home. The City provides information on this program on the City website. The website is routinely updated to provide current information on various housing opportunities in Dublin and the region. Since 2007, the City has assisted a total of 54 households with first-time homebuyer loans. The City adopted an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance in 2002 to assure that housing development contributes to the attainment of the City's housing goals by increasing the production of residential units affordable by households of very low, low, and moderate income. In December 2008, the City Council approved an amendment to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance to eliminate the requirement to construct owner-occupied very low income units. This modification was in response to feedback the City was receiving from the development community on the feasibility of constructing owner- occupied very low income units. Since 2007, the City has issued 332 permits for the construction of affordable housing units. Furthermore, the City currently has a balance of$7,013,816 in its Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee fund. The City will continue to enforce the provisions of its Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance to further Housing Appendix C-31 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Element goals and policies related to meeting the housing needs of all income segments of the community. F. Affordable Housing Inventory Ten assisted rental housing developments in Dublin provide 982 affordable rental units (Table C-20). This inventory of assisted units includes a review of all multi-family rental units under federal, state, and/or local programs, including HUD programs, state and local bond programs, redevelopment programs, and local in-lieu fees (inclusionary, density bonus, or direct assistance programs). All of these projects are recent developments with the most recent being Emerald Vista. Emerald Vista, formally known as Arroyo Vista, has historically been supported by the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Emerald Vista was redeveloped in 2013 to include 378 units, of which 194 are reserved as affordable units (180 rental units and 14 for-sale units). The City worked with Eden Housing, KB Homes and the Dublin Housing Authority on the development of this project, which includes market rate units, affordable senior housing, affordable family housing, a child care center and a community building. The project was completed in May 2013; all 180 of the affordable rental units have been leased and all 14 affordable for-sale units have been sold. Generally, deed restrictions ensure the long-term affordability of below market rate units.

Appendix C-33 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) G. Estimates of Housing Needs The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) developed by the Census for HUD provides detailed information on housing needs by income level for different types of households in Dublin. Detailed CHAS data based on the 2006-2010 American Community Survey is displayed in Table C-21. Based on CHAS, housing problems in Dublin include: • Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); • Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); • Housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 30 percent of gross income; or • Severe housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 50 percent of gross income. The types of problems vary according to household income, type, and tenure. Some highlights include: • In general, owner-households were more likely to experience housing problems (48 percent) than renter-households (35 percent). • Large family renter-households, though, had the highest level of housing problems regardless of income level (71 percent). All very low and low income large family renter households experienced a housing problem between 2006 and 2010. • Very low income households were the most likely to be affected by a housing problem (84 percent). Extremely low (78 percent) and low income (82 percent) households were also significantly affected by these issues. • Of the 754 extremely low income Dublin households identified by the 2006-2010 ACS, approximately 77 percent spent more than 30 percent of their monthly income on housing and 65 percent spent more than 50 percent.

Notes: Data presented in this table are based on special tabulations from sample Census data. The number of households in each category usually deviates slightly from the 100 percent count due to the need to extrapolate sample data out to total households. Interpretations of these data should focus on the proportion of households in need of assistance rather than on precise numbers. Appendix C-35 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) 2. Housing Constraints Although the City of Dublin strives to ensure the provision of adequate and affordable housing to meet the needs of the community, many factors can constrain the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing. These include market mechanisms, government regulations, and physical as well as environmental constraints. This section addresses these potential constraints that affect the supply and cost of housing in Dublin. A. Market Constraints Several local and regional constraints hinder the ability to accommodate Dublin's demand for affordable housing. The high cost of land, rising development costs, and neighborhood opposition can make it expensive for developers to build affordable housing. These constraints may result in housing that is not affordable to lower and moderate income households, or may render some potential residential projects economically infeasible for developers. Land and Construction Costs High development costs in the region stifle potential affordable housing developments. An indicator of construction costs is Building Valuation Data compiled by the International Code Council (ICC). The unit costs compiled by the ICC include structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, in addition to interior finish and normal site preparation. The data is national and does not take into account regional differences, and does not include the price of the land upon which the building is built. The national average for development costs per square foot for apartments and single-family homes in August 2013 are as follows: ■ Type I or II, Multi-Family: $131.94 to $150.25 per sq. ft. ■ Type V Wood Frame, Multi-Family: $100.18 to $104.74 per sq. ft. ■ Type V Wood Frame, One and Two Family Dwelling: $110.29 to $117.71 per sq. ft. Because of higher land values in the Bay Area, however, overall development costs per square foot in Dublin may be higher. Furthermore, neighborhood resistance to projects can draw out the entitlement process and drive up costs. The difficulty of developing awkward infill sites can also add to the cost of housing. Reduction in amenities and the quality of building materials (above a minimum acceptability for health, safety, and adequate performance) could lower costs and associated sales prices or rents. In addition, prefabricated factory-built housing may provide for lower priced housing by reducing construction and labor costs. Another factor related to construction costs is the number of units built at one time. As the number of units increases, overall costs generally decrease due to economies of scale. The price of raw land and any necessary improvements is a key component of the total cost of housing. The diminishing supply of land available for residential construction combined with a fairly steady demand for housing has served to keep the cost of land high. High and rapidly increasing land costs have resulted in home builders developing increasingly expensive homes in order to capture profits. Information on land cost is limited due to the lack of vacant land for sale. Appendix C-36 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) A density bonus up to 35 percent over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning district is available to developers who provide affordable housing as part of their projects. Developers of affordable housing are also entitled to at least one concession or incentive as established in the Zoning Ordinance. Density bonuses, together with the incentives and/or concessions, result in a lower average cost of land per dwelling unit, thereby making the provision of affordable housing more feasible. The City regularly updates its Density Bonus Ordinance to reflect changes in State law. Availability of Mortgage and Rehabilitation Financing The availability of financing affects a person's ability to purchase or improve a home. Interest rates are determined by national policies and economic conditions, and there is little that local government can do to affect these rates. Jurisdictions can, however, offer interest rate write- downs to extend home purchasing opportunities to a broader economic segment of the population. In addition, government-insured loan programs may be available to reduce mortgage down payment requirements. Under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), lending institutions are required to disclose information on the disposition of loan applications and the income, gender, and race of loan applicants. As shown in Table C-22, a total of 1,726 households applied for loans, either conventional or government-backed, to purchase homes in Dublin in 2012. Approval rates were higher for conventional home purchase loans with an approval rate of 78 percent, in comparison to 74 percent of government loan applications being approved. The approval rate for home improvement loans was 65 percent. Given the high rates of approval for home purchase and improvement loans, financing was generally available to Dublin residents. Overall, the majority of loan applications submitted in Dublin during 2012 were for home refinancing (4,142 applications), 76 percent of which were approved. Table C-22: Disposition of Home Purchase and Improvement Loan Applications-2012 Total Percent Percent Percent Loan Type Applications Approved Denied Other Government Backed Purchase 288 74% 13% 13% Loans Conventional Purchase Loans 1,438 78% 10% 12% Refinance 4,142 76% 10% 14% Home Improvement Loans 65 65% 28% 8% Total 5,933 76% 11% 13% Source:www.LendingPatterns.com , 2013. Notes: 1. Percent Approved includes loans approved by the lenders whether or not accepted by the applicant. 2. Percent Other includes loan applications that were either withdrawn or closed for incompleteness. Foreclosures Foreclosure may occur when households fall behind on one or more scheduled mortgage payments. The foreclosure process can be halted if the homeowner is able to bring mortgage payments current. If payments cannot be resumed or the debt cannot be resolved, the lender can legally use the foreclosure process to repossess (take over) the home. If the home is worth less than the total amount owed on the mortgage loan, a deficiency judgment could, under Appendix C-37 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) some circumstances, be pursued. The homeowner would lose their home and might also owe the home lender an additional amount. Homes can be in various stages of foreclosure. Typically, the foreclosure process begins with the issuance of a Notice of Default (NOD). An NOD serves as an official notification to a borrower that he or she is behind in their mortgage payments, and if the payments are not paid up, the lender may take title to the home. In California, lenders will not usually file an NOD until a borrower is at least 90 days behind in making payments. As of December 2013, 23 properties in Dublin were in this pre-foreclosure stage. Once an NOD has been filed, borrowers are given a specific time period, typically three months, in which they can bring their mortgage payments current. If payments are not made current at the end of this specified time period, a Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS) will be prepared and published in a newspaper. An NTS is a formal notification of the sale of a foreclosure property. In California, the NTS is filed 90 days following an NOD when a property owner has failed to make a property loan current. Once an NTS has been filed, a property can then be sold at public auction. According to foreclosure records, 20 properties in Dublin were in the auction stage of the foreclosure process as of December 2013. Construction Financing Prior to the recession of the early 1990s, and significant changes in lending practices following the savings and loan scandal of the late 1980s, developers could receive loans for 100 percent or more of a project's estimated future value. Now, construction and permanent loans are rarely available for over 75 percent of the future project value for multifamily developments. This means that developers must usually supply at least 25 percent of the project value. The financing of a residential project, particularly affordable housing is quite complex. No firm threshold determines an acceptable `return' on investment, nor the maximum equity contribution at which an otherwise feasible project becomes infeasible. Upfront cash commitment may not be problematic for some developers as long as the project can generate an acceptable net cash flow to meet the acceptable returns. Although financing costs impact project feasibility, these problems are generally equal across jurisdictions and thus are not a unique constraint to housing production in Dublin. B. Governmental Constraints City ordinances, policies, and other regulations can impact the price and availability of housing in Dublin. Land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local programs to improve the overall quality of housing may serve as constraints to housing development. The following public policies can affect overall housing availability, adequacy, and affordability. Land Use Controls The General Plan includes policies for all three of the City's Planning Areas: the Primary Planning Area, Eastern Extended Planning Area, and Western Extended Planning Area. The Primary Planning Area consists of the original 1982 City boundaries and those annexations occurring to the west between 1985 and 1991. This area encompasses roughly 3,100 acres. The Eastern Extended Planning Area is located east of the Primary Planning Area, while the Western Extended Planning Area is located west of the Primary Planning Area. Appendix C-38 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Primary Planning Area The General Plan Land Use Element and Downtown Dublin Specific Plan establish land use controls within the Primary Planning Area. General Plan Land Use Element: The majority of the Primary Planning Area has been developed since the 1960s: therefore, the Land Use Element of the General Plan focuses on the remaining uncommitted sites and on the potential for more intensive use of existing sites. Table C-23: General Plan Land Use Element Classification Density Dwelling Units Low Density Single Family 3.8 167 Single Family 6.0 5,411 Medium Density 14.0 2,668 Medium-High Density 25.0 1 1,960 Medium-High and Retail/Office 25.0 280 Mixed Use 25.0 382 Total 10,868 Downtown Dublin Specific Plan: This new Specific Plan was adopted in 2010 and combines the areas of the previous Downtown Core Specific Plan, Dublin Downtown Specific Plan, San Ramon Road Specific Plan, Village Parkway Specific Plan, and West Dublin BART Specific Plan into one comprehensive plan. Downtown Dublin is largely built out, which means that new development projects will primarily replace (or expand upon) existing developments and land uses. This Specific Plan allows for the future construction of approximately 1,300 residential dwelling units as follows: Table C-24: Downtown Dublin Specific Plan District Density Dwelling Units Retail 0.35 FAR 100 Transit-Oriented 85.0 du/acre 1,100 Village Parkway 15.0 du/acre 100 Total 1 1 1,300 As of April 2014, only 291 units are not entitled and developer interest in constructing additional residential units Downtown exceeds the number of units remaining to be built. As a result, theCity is in the process of amending the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan to increase residential development opportunities in the three districts (see also discussions under the Housing Resources section of this Technical Background Report.) Eastern Extended Planning Area The Eastern Extended Planning Area is located east of Dublin's older urbanized area and consists of 3,454 acres, of which 1,657 acres is designated for residential uses. Residential designations for this planning area are outlined in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Specific Plan includes seven land use classifications that allow for residential development: High Density (HDR), Medium-High Density (MHDR), Medium Density (MDR), Single Family (SF), Estate Appendix C-39 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Residential (ER), Rural Residential/Agricultural (RRA). Taken together, the Specific Plan projects a total of 14,619 housing units upon buildout at the following densities: Table C-25: Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Classification Density(du/acre) Dwelling Units Rural Residential/Agricultural 0.01 3 Estate Residential 0.80 24 Single Family 6.00 4,350 Medium Density 14.00 5,293 Medium High Density 25.00 3,302 High Density 25.10+ 1 1,647 Total 14,619 Western Extended Planning Area Located along the north side of 1-580, west of the City's older urbanized area, the Western Extended Planning Area covers approximately 3,255 acres. The Single-Family designation of the Primary Planning Area and the Rural Residential/Agriculture designation of the Eastern Extended Planning Area are applicable in the Western Extended Planning Area. An additional residential designation unique to this planning area is the Estate designation. The Estate designation is intended for typical ranchettes and estate homes at 0.01 to 0.8 units per gross acre. An Urban Limit Line was adopted by initiative on November 7, 2000 for the Western Extended Planning Area. The Urban Limit Line is located along the City limit line as of the initiative's effective date. Pursuant to the initiative, lands west of the Urban Limit Line are designated as Rural Residential/Agriculture on the General Plan Land Use Map and are within the City's Sphere of Influence. Approximately 2,647 acres lies west of the Urban Limit Line and has been designated Rural Residential/Agriculture. The Initiative is effective for a period of 30 years from the effective date of City Council Resolution 209-00 (November 7, 2000), and the Line's location may be changed only with voter approval during the effective period, and only following review and approval of a General Plan Amendment by the City Council. Any request to change the Urban Limit Line must be accompanied by a request to amend the land use designation to an urban designation. The Urban Limit Line is established to discourage urban sprawl. The City has adequate capacity within the Urban Limit Line to meet its housing needs and therefore, this Line does not present an actual constraint to housing development. Approximately 485 acres lie east of the Urban Limit Line, of which 365 acres are Open Space. The remainder of the Western Extended Planning Area is comprised of the Schaefer Ranch residential development which has been approved for up to 406 residential units. The following table sets forth the development potential of the Western Extended Planning Area. Appendix C-40 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Table C-26:Western Extended Planning Area Classification Density(du/acre) Dwelling Units Rural Residential/Agricultural 0.01 26 Estate Residential 0.80 30 Single Family 6.00 400 Total 456 Livermore Airport Influence Area (AIA) The Livermore Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the City of Livermore. The Airport is a General Aviation Airport which serves private, business, and corporate tenants and customers. The airport is situated on 643 acres of land within the City of Livermore and is located adjacent to the Las Positas Golf Course and the Water Reclamation Plant. Parts of eastern Dublin fall within the Livermore Airport Influence Area and projects that propose to amend the General Plan and/or Eastern Dublin Specific Plan or propose to rezone property within this area are subject to review by the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission for consistency with the Alameda County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). The Airport Land Use Commission has 60 days to review and issue a determination on a project. However, the City Council has the authority to override the Commission's determination with a two-thirds vote. Within the Livermore Airport Influence Area (AIA) is a more restrictive Airport Protection Area (APA). The APA prohibits the establishment of new residential uses or the intensification of existing residential uses. The City currently does not have any residential uses within the APA. The APA could be considered a constraint on housing development in Dublin as it prohibits residential uses along Dublin Boulevard where the City has historically planned higher density residential. However, in balancing the housing needs of the community with safety and exposure to excessive aircraft noise, the prohibition of residential uses within the APA is reasonable. Conclusion The City's residential land use designations facilitate and encourage the provision of a wide range of housing types including single-family dwellings, mobile homes, townhomes, condominiums, second dwelling units, and multi-family units at various densities. Therefore, Dublin's land use regulations are not a constraint to residential development. Residential Development Standards The City regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential development primarily through the Zoning Ordinance. Zoning regulations are designed to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of residents as well as implement the policies of the General Plan. The following zoning districts allow residential uses: • Agricultural (A): The A zoning district is intended, in part, to preserve and protect agricultural lands that are being used for the commercial production of agricultural commodities consistent with the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans and appropriate standards of public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics. Agricultural Appendix C-41 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) housing, mobile homes and single-family homes on large rural lots are permitted in the A district. • Single-Family Residential (R-1): The R-1 district is intended to provide for and protect neighborhoods comprised of detached, single-family homes and residential use types compatible with a quiet, family-living environment. The district is consistent with the Low-Density Single-Family Residential, Single Family-Residential, and Medium Density Residential designations of the General Plan depending on the lot square footage per dwelling unit of an area. The lot square footage per dwelling unit of an area in the R-1 district is expressed as a suffix to the R-1 Zoning Map symbol (e.g., R-1-5,000, R-1- 10,000, etc.). • Two-Family Residential (R-2): The R-2 district is intended to provide for two-family dwellings that have characteristics similar to single-family neighborhoods, duplexes, and residential use types compatible with a quiet living environment. The R-2 district is consistent with the Medium Density Residential, and Medium-High Density Residential designations of the General Plan depending on the lot square footage per dwelling unit of an area. The lot square footage per dwelling unit of an area in the R-2 district is expressed as a suffix to the R-2 Zoning Map symbol. • Multi-Family Residential (R-M): The R-M district is intended to provide for and protect neighborhoods comprised of single family residences, two family residences, and multi- family residences that are clustered to provide generous open space areas for common use, and that are generally close to transit, shopping, and public facilities. The R-M district is consistent with the Medium Density Residential, Medium-High Density Residential, and High-Density Residential designations of the General Plan depending on the lot square footage per dwelling unit of an area. The lot square footage per dwelling unit of an area in the R-M district is expressed as a suffix to the R-M Zoning Map symbol. Dublin's Zoning Ordinance establishes residential development standards for each zone to ensure quality of development in the community (Table C-27). Characteristic standards applicable to residential development in the City include standards for lot area, lot width and frontage, lot coverage, setbacks, height limits, and parking. Developers of certain affordable and senior housing may request a variety of incentives, including concessions, modifications, or waivers of otherwise applicable development standards set forth in Chapter 8.36 of the Zoning Ordinance. Reduced setbacks, reduced parking, concentration of affordable units, and reduced bedroom sizes were granted in 2003 to facilitate the development of 596 affordable housing units at the Oak Groves and Pine Groves/Cedar Groves projects within The Groves at Dublin Ranch (formerly known as Fairway Ranch). In 2009, the City approved the Emerald Vista project (formerly Arroyo Vista) and granted reduced parking requirements for the affordable units. Additionally, in 2013 the City approved an affordable housing project geared towards veterans and granted reduced parking requirements as well as relaxed design standards. For properties within Specific Plan areas, development standards are provided within the respective Specific Plan. In the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, development standards are further tailored to individual projects through the Planned Development Zoning and site plan review process. This provides developers with a basic set of development standards and guidelines as well as flexibility to enhance project feasibility and deviate from traditional Appendix C-42 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) development standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Flexible development standards include parking requirements, lot coverage, setbacks, and landscaping among other standards.

In addition to the R-2 and R-M Zoning Districts, multifamily accessory storage shall also be provided in comparable PD(Planned Development)Zoning Districts and the Downtown Dublin Zoning District. Appendix C-43 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) The City's height limits are set with respect to neighborhood character and allowable densities. Building height limits in the R-M zone are permitted up to 75-feet for projects with five or more dwelling units and therefore have not constrained residential development. Additionally, residential development in Planned Development Zoning Districts around the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is allowed to be constructed with up to five stories of residential uses over parking, recognizing the advantages of compact transit-oriented development in providing affordable housing opportunities. Similarly, residential development in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area around the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is allowed to be constructed with up to eight stories and a maximum building height of 90 feet. Parking requirements for different types of residential uses in Dublin are summarized in Table C-28. Dublin's parking requirements for a prototypical 100-unit multi-family residential development are comparable to requirements of nearby cities (Table C-29). Additionally, the City has approved reduced parking standards through the Planned Development Zoning process for multi-family residential and mixed use developments adjacent to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station; residential uses adjacent to the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station also benefit from reduced parking standards contained in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan.

Notes: 1. Prototypical project assumes: 25% 1-bedroom units; 50% 2-bedroom units; and 25% 3- bedroom units 2. Requirement ranges from 33% for senior projects to 100% for condominium projects and for apartments. 3. Requirement for first 4 units; 1.5 spaces per unit required for each unit thereafter. Although the provision of off-street parking can increase the cost of housing, Dublin's standards are reasonable as requirements for multi-family developments are less than requirements for single-family detached dwellings and comparable to or lower than parking requirements of nearby jurisdictions. Guest space requirements for multi-family developments are also reasonable because these types of developments do not have private driveways for each unit to accommodate parking for guests as is required for new single-family homes on lots larger than 4,000 square feet. Nevertheless, because the increased cost of off-street parking can impact the financing of housing affordability, reduced parking and other incentives, concessions, or waivers and modifications of development standards are available for affordable projects that are eligible for a density bonus pursuant to Chapter 8.52 of the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, as mentioned previously, the City has granted reduced parking standards for numerous affordable housing projects including Wicklow Square, The Groves at Dublin Ranch, Emerald Vista and the veterans housing project in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area. Reduced parking standards are also available for transit-oriented development projects that are proposed adjacent to both BART stations in the City. Provision for a Variety of Housing State Housing Element law specifies that jurisdictions identify adequate sites to be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards to encourage the development of various types of housing for all economic segments of the population. This includes single-family housing, multi-family housing, mobile homes, agricultural housing, emergency shelters, and transitional housing, among others. Table C-30 summarizes the various housing types permitted and conditionally permitted under the Zoning Ordinance.

Notes: P — Permitted Use; C/ZA — Conditional Use Permit/Zoning Administrator; C/PC Conditional Use Permit Planning Commission;--Not Permitted; *"Residential Use Secondary to Commercial Use" is defined as a residence located above the ground floor commercial uses and is referred to herein as"Mixed Use." Single-Family Residence The term "Single-Family Residence" is defined in the Zoning Ordinance as a building designed for and/or occupied exclusively by one family. The definition also includes factory-built housing, modular housing, manufactured housing, mobile homes, and the rental of bedrooms within a single-family dwelling to no more than four borders. Single-family residences are permitted in all residential zoning districts. Agricultural Housing Agricultural housing is defined as dwellings and/or living quarters for farm laborers, or other types of dwellings determined to be substantially similar to the above by the Director of Community Development. Agricultural Housing shall not be in addition to a Caretaker Residence or a Farm Mobile Home. The 2007-2011 found that only 47 Dublin residents (less than one percent of the City's residents) were employed the in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and mining industry. Despite the limited number of agricultural workers in the City, Agricultural Housing is permitted in the A district with approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Zoning Administrator. Conditions would be similar to those for other similar uses in the same zones and would not serve to constrain the development of such facilities. The Zoning Administrator must make the following findings established in Section 8.100.060 of the Zoning Ordinance prior to approval of a CUP for agricultural housing: Appendix C-47 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) • The proposed use and related structures is compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity. • It will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. • It will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood. • There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. • The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related structures being proposed. • It will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is located. • It is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and with any applicable Specific Plans. However, pursuant to the State Employee Housing Act (Section 17000 of the Health and Safety Code), employee housing for agricultural workers consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household is permitted by right in an agricultural land use designation. Therefore, for properties that permit agricultural uses by right, a local jurisdiction may not treat employee housing that meets the above criteria any differently than an agricultural use. Furthermore, any employee housing providing accommodations for six or fewer employees shall be deemed a single-family structure with a residential land use designation, according to the Employee Housing Act. Employee housing for six or fewer persons is permitted where a single-family residence is permitted. No conditional or special use permit or variance is required. The City requires a CUP for all agricultural uses. Similarly, employee housing on agriculturally designated land requires the approval of a CUP. Second Units A Second Unit is a residential unit with separate kitchen, sleeping, and bathroom facilities that is a part of, an extension to, or detached from, a detached single-family residence, and is subordinate to the principal residence. Second units may be an alternative source of affordable housing for lower income households and seniors. California law requires local jurisdictions to adopt ordinances that establish the conditions under which second dwelling units are permitted (Government Code, Section 65852.2). A jurisdiction cannot adopt an ordinance that precludes the development of second units unless findings are made acknowledging that allowing second units may limit the housing opportunities of the region and result in adverse impacts on public health, safety, and welfare. An amendment to the State's second unit law in September 2002 requires local governments to use a ministerial, rather than discretionary process for approving second units (i.e. second units otherwise compliant with local zoning standards can be approved without conditions or a public hearing). Appendix C-48 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) The City adopted a Second Unit Ordinance in 2003 to allow second dwelling units in the R-1 zoning district with a ministerial permit. The Community Development Department will issue a building permit for a second unit if all building permit submittal requirements are met, and if it conforms to the specific standards contained in Section 8.80.040 of the Zoning Ordinance, including but not limited to: • The lot is occupied by a legal existing, detached single-family unit. • The total floor area is not less than 275 square feet or more than 1,000 square feet. In no case shall a second unit exceed 35 percent of the total floor area of the existing single-family residence. • The second unit shall conform to the development standards of the R-1 district. • One off-street parking space is required but may be uncovered and in tandem with the parking of the principal unit. • The principal residence and the second unit combined shall not cover more than 60 percent of the lot. These development standards are typical and consistent with State law. Since adoption of the Ordinance in 2003, 89 second units have been constructed. Nearly all of these second units (88 units) were constructed during the last Housing Element planning period. An additional 44 second units are expected to be constructed during the current Housing Element planning period. Multi-Family Housing Multi-Family housing includes duplexes, apartments, condominiums, or townhomes. As of 2013, multi-family housing units constituted approximately 33 percent of Dublin's housing stock. The Zoning Ordinance provides for multi-family developments by-right in the R-2 and R-M zoning districts. The R-2 zoning district is consistent with the Medium Density and Medium- High Density Residential land use designations of the General Plan which allow for 6.1 — 25.0 dwelling units per acre. The R-M zoning district is consistent with the Medium, Medium-High and High Density Residential land use designations of the General Plan which allow for 6.1 — 25.0+ dwelling units per acre. The General Plan does not place an upper limit on High Density Residential land uses. Furthermore, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan allows for the development of High Density Residential at 25 units per acre or greater, while the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan allows for Transit Oriented Development at a density of 85 units per acre. Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Parks Mobile homes offer an affordable housing option to many lower and moderate income households. The City permits mobile homes constructed after September 15, 1971 and issued an insignia of approval by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and permanently located on a permanent foundation system by right in the A, R-1, and R-2 districts. Mobile Home Parks require approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission within the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts. Conditions would be similar to those for other similar uses in the same zones and would not serve to constrain the development of such facilities. The required findings for approval of a CUP are stated in Section 8.100.060 of the Zoning Ordinance and are the same as described above for agricultural housing. Community Care Facilities Community care facilities are defined as residential facilities that provide 24-hour care for individuals, including the elderly, persons in an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility, persons in a facility for mentally disordered, handicapped persons or dependent and Appendix C-49 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) neglected children, persons in an intermediate care facility/developmentally disabled- habilitative, intermediate care facility/ developmentally disabled-nursing, and congregate living health facilities. A community care facility may be located in any type of residence. Consistent with the State Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, small community care facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted within all residential zones. Large community care facilities serving seven or more persons require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission within the R-1, R-2, R-M, C-1, C-2, M-P, and M-1 zoning districts. Potential conditions for approval may include hours of operation, security, loading requirements, and management. Conditions would be similar to those for other similar uses in the same zones and would not serve to constrain the development of such facilities. The required findings for approval of a CUP are stated in Section 8.100.060 of the Zoning Ordinance and are the same as described above for agricultural housing. As of January 2013, a number of community care facilities are operating in the City of Dublin:15 • Six adult residential facilities with a total capacity of 34 beds; • Two group homes for children with a total capacity of 12 beds; and • Nine residential care facilities for the elderly with a total capacity of 54 beds. Transitional Housing Transitional Housing units or facilities provide a residence for homeless individuals or families for an extended period of time, usually six months or longer, which also offers other social services and counseling to assist residents in achieving self-sufficiency. Transitional Housing may be accessory to a public or civic type use. The City amended the Zoning Ordinance in 2004, and again in 2011, to facilitate and encourage the provision of transitional housing. Transitional housing that operates as group housing is subject to the same permitting requirements as community care facilities consistent with the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act. Transitional housing that is regular housing is permitted where similar housing is otherwise permitted. Emergency Shelters The term "Emergency Shelter" means a housing facility that provides temporary, short-term housing, with minimal supportive services, for homeless individuals or families, provided that no facility shall be used as temporary, short-term housing by any individual or family for more than 30 consecutive days. The City amended the Municipal Code to permit emergency shelters in the M-1 (Light Industrial) Zoning District and similar PD (Planned Development) Zoning Districts, if the project site has an Industrial Park or Business Park/Industrial General Plan land use designation. Applicable development and performance standards are set forth in Section 8.45 of the Municipal Code and are as follows: • Off Street Parking: 1 parking space for every 20 beds plus 1 parking space for each employee on the largest shift plus 1 parking space for each company vehicle. • On-Site Management and Security: On-site management and on-site security shall be provided during the hours when the Emergency Shelter is in operation. 'S State Department of Social Services, Licensing Division. http:i.i4,,vhw.ccid.ca.aev/does /ccld search/ccld search.aspx. Appendix C-50 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) • External Lighting: The Emergency Shelter shall provide external lighting in accordance with building security requirements contained in Chapter 7.32 to maintain a safe and secure environment. • Emergency Shelter Management Plan: The operator of an Emergency Shelter shall prepare and submit a management plan to the Community Development Director. • Length of Stay: No individual or family shall reside in an Emergency Shelter for more than 30 consecutive days. • Proximity to Public Transit and Services: An Emergency Shelter shall be located near public transportation, supportive services and/or commercial services to meet the daily needs of shelter residents. If necessary, an Emergency Shelter shall ensure a means of transportation for shelter residents to travel to and from related supportive services provided off-site. • Noise/Nuisances: All activities associated with an Emergency Shelter shall be conducted entirely within the building. Noise shall be limited so as not to create an adverse impact on surrounding uses. No loudspeakers or amplified sound shall be placed or project outside of the shelter. • City, County and State Requirements: An Emergency Shelter shall obtain and maintain in good standing all required licenses, permits, and approvals from City, County and State agencies or departments. An Emergency Shelter shall comply with all County and State health and safety requirements for food, medical and other supportive services provided on-site. Mixed Use Residential uses located above the ground floor of a commercial use are conditionally permitted in the R-1 and C-1 zoning districts and require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. The City has had much success in promoting and attracting new mixed use development throughout the City, particularly in recent years. These mixed-use projects include: • AMB/Prologis: 308 multi-family apartment units and 150,000 square feet of office space adjacent to the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station • Tralee Village: 233 multi-family units include 130 apartment units over 33,500 square feet of ground floor commercial and 103 townhouse units • Eclipse at Dublin Station: formerly Avalon at Dublin Station, 305 multi-family apartment units over 15,000 square feet of ground floor commercial • Essex/Connolly Station: 309 multi-family apartment units adjacent to the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station; future phases include 150-room hotel and 7,500 square feet of commercial • Crown Chevy Redevelopment Site: 314 multi-family apartment units over 17,000 square feet of ground floor commercial and 72 affordable rental units for veterans Single Room Occupancy Units (SROs) SRO units are one-room units intended for occupancy by a single individual. It is distinct from a studio or efficiency unit, in that a studio is a one-room unit that must contain a kitchen and bathroom. Although SRO units are not required to have a kitchen or bathroom, many SROs have one or the other. In April 2011, the Dublin Municipal Code was amended to conditionally permit SROs in the C-2 district, or comparable PD Zoning District, as long as the following development standards and regulations are met: • All required findings in Chapter 8.100 (Conditional Use Permit) can be made. Appendix C-51 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) • Common bathroom facilities are provided on-site if individual units do not contain a bathroom. • Common kitchen facilities are provided on-site if individual units do not contain a kitchen. • Individual Single Room Occupancy Units may contain either kitchen or bathroom facilities, but shall not contain both. • Off-street parking is provided in accordance with Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations). • All new construction or conversion of existing structures complies with Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review). • All other applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance are met. Supportive Housing California Government Code Section 65582 (f) defines "supportive housing" as housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population, and that is linked to an onsite or offsite service that assists the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community. Government Code Section 65582 (g) further defines "target population" as persons with low incomes who have one or more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other chronic health condition, or individuals eligible for services provided pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500) of the Welfare and Institutions Code) and may include, among other populations, adults, emancipated minors, families with children, elderly persons, young adults aging out of the foster care system, individuals exiting from institutional settings, veterans, and homeless people. The City amended the Zoning Ordinance in 2011 to facilitate and encourage the provision of supportive housing. Supportive housing that operates as group housing is subject to the same permitting requirements as community care facilities consistent with the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act. Supportive housing that is regular housing is permitted where similar housing is otherwise permitted. Site Improvements, Exactions, and Development Fees Site Improvements For large subdivisions, the City requires the construction of reasonable on- and off-site improvements pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act. The minimum improvements required of the developer include: • Grading and improvement of public and private streets including surfacing, curbs, gutters, cross gutters, sidewalks, ornamental street lighting, street name signs and necessary barricades and safety devices; • Storm drainage and flood control facilities within and outside of when necessary the subdivision sufficient to carry storm runoff both tributary to and originating within the subdivision; • Debris basins and erosion and siltation control measures to control erosion and siltation; • A sewage system that meets public sewer system standards; • A water distribution system providing an adequate supply of potable water to each lot and fire hydrant within the subdivision; • Fire hydrants and connections shall be of the type and at locations specified by the fire marshal; and Appendix C-52 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) • Public utility distribution facilities including gas, electric, telephone and cable television necessary to serve each lot in the subdivision. The City also requires dedication of land intended for public use. Dedicated streets, easements, rights-of-way, etc., must be designed, developed, and improved according to City of Dublin Public Works standards. Street design criteria are summarized in Table C-31. Table C-31: Street Design Criteria Minimum Service Right of Curb to and Design Criteria Way Curb Curve Landscape Radius Easement Arterials 4-lane 104' 80' 1,200' 107side 6-lane 128' 104' 1,200' 10'/side 8-lane 152' 128' 1,200' 10'/side Collectors Class 1 92' 76' 1,100' 107side Class II 68' 52' 450' 10'/side Residential 56' 40' 450' 57side Residential 46' 36' 1 200' 1 5'/side Cul-de-Sacs 46' 36' 200[ 5'/side Source: City of Dublin,2014. Residential development projects with more than 20 residential units must comply with the City's Public Art Program pursuant to Chapter 8.58 of the Zoning Ordinance. Under the Program, developers are required to acquire and install a public art project on or in the vicinity of the development site, or make a monetary contribution in-lieu. The value of the public art project or in- lieu monetary contribution shall equal or exceed 0.5 percent of the development project's building valuation (excluding land). The purpose of the City's Public Art Program is, in part, to promote the public interest and general welfare through the acquisition and installation of public art works. Participation in the program by residential projects with more than 20 units is not an undue constraint on housing development in the City because: 1) the requirement applies to single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments alike; and 2) housing projects that set-aside 100 percent of units for lower income households are exempt from the public art requirement. The City often requires dedication of bicycle paths for the use and safety of residents of large residential subdivisions. Schools, fire stations, libraries, or other public facilities may also be required. Park dedication or fee in-lieu of dedication required according to the standard of five acres per one thousand persons, consistent with the Quimby Act. This ratio amounts to 740.5 square feet per single-family unit, 675.2 square feet per multi-family unit, and 370.3 square feet per mobile home unit proposed. Specific standards for design and improvements of subdivisions must be in accordance with the applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance, the General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, any specific plans adopted by the City, and requirements established by the City Engineer. Improvement and dedication requirements are important to maintaining the quality of life in Dublin and to ensuring public health and safety. These standards are typical in the region. Appendix C-53 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Development Fees and Exactions In addition to improvements and dedication of public land, land developers are subject to a variety of fees and exactions to cover the cost of processing permits and providing necessary services and facilities. In general, these fees can be a constraint on housing development and compromise project feasibility because the additional cost borne by developers contributes to overall increased housing unit cost. However, the fees are necessary to maintain adequate planning services and other public services and facilities in the City. The City's Planning Division fee schedule is summarized in Table C-32 and current development impact fees are provided in Table C-33. Reduced, waived, or reimbursed fees are possible incentives that can be requested under the City's Density Bonus Ordinance. The City has demonstrated a commitment to providing concessions that facilitate the construction of affordable housing by waiving future commercial linkage fees on commercially-zoned property within the Dublin Ranch community as an incentive for a developer to provide additional affordable units as part of the Oak Groves and Pine Groves/Cedar Groves apartment communities. A total of 626 rental units have been constructed within the Oak Groves and Pine Groves/Cedar Groves communities of which 535 units are affordable to very low, low and moderate income households, for both families and seniors.

Varies by category and location inside or outside of 6,25 units per acre. Transit Center Area. Total fees average about $68,418 per single family unit and about $41,398 per multi family unit. These figures include school, water, and sewer fees that are imposed by outside agencies over which the City has no control. According to the Building Official, the valuation of a typical single-family unit is $371,467 and that of a typical multi-family unit is $239,048. Overall, development impact fees represent slightly more than 18 percent of the development costs of a single-family unit, excluding land costs. For a typical multi-family unit, development impact fees represent just over 17 percent of the development costs, excluding land costs. Land cost is a significant component of the overall development costs. When land costs are factored into the equation, development impact fees represent an even smaller portion of the total development costs. Nevertheless, the City recognizes the impact of fees on affordable housing development. Therefore, the City offers deferment or amortization of fees for senior housing and housing for lower income households. Appendix C-55 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) In addition to deferment or amortization of fees, and as noted above, the City has demonstrated a commitment to providing concessions that facilitate the construction of affordable housing by waiving commercial linkage fees on commercially-zoned property within the Dublin Ranch community in order to facilitate the development of affordable housing within the Oak Groves and Pine Groves/Cedar Groves apartment communities Inclusionary Housing The City adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in 2002. Under the Regulations, all new residential development projects of 20 units or more designed and intended for permanent occupancy must construct 12.5 percent of the total number of dwelling units within the development as affordable units. Of the affordable rental units, 30 percent must be set aside for very low income households, 20 percent for low income households, and 50 percent for moderate income households; of the owner occupied affordable units, 40 percent must be set aside for low income households and 60 percent for moderate income households. (The City amended the Ordinance in December 2008 to remove the requirement of very low income units for for-sale housing to recognize that requirement's cost impact on feasibility.) The City will continue to work with stakeholders to review and consider modifications to the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations to enhance their feasibility. The Ordinance provides for five exceptions to the 12.5 percent affordability requirement (Section 8.68.040): • Payment of in-lieu fees; • Off-site projects; • Land dedication; • Credit transfers; and • Waiver of requirements. Pursuant to the Ordinance, developers can pay as an in-lieu fee up to five percent of the inclusionary housing requirement, with the remaining 7.5 percent of the requirement as must- build units. Any request for payment of in-lieu fee above the five percent requires City Council approval. The amount of in-lieu fee is adjusted annually based on real estate indicators. Therefore, the fee is sensitive to the fluctuation in market conditions. Currently, the in-lieu fee is set at$96,000 per affordable unit required. The fee has remained fairly level during the last two years. The last exception, waiver of requirements, gives the City Council flexibility to make exceptions to the Ordinance. Also, Section 8.68.070 provides incentives to make the construction of affordable units more feasible, including: • Fee Deferral— processing and impact fees • Design Modifications- - Reduced lot size - Reduced setback requirements - Reduced open space requirements - Reduced landscaping requirements - Reduced interior or exterior amenities - Reduction in parking requirements - Height restriction waivers Appendix C-56 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) For example, the Positano project is a single-family detached residential product that is subject to the Inclusionary Ordinance. In order to assist the developer in making the provision of affordable housing more feasible, the City Council granted the developer's request that a portion of the affordable units be provided off-site or through the payment of in-lieu fees. The City has also granted the developer's request to provide affordable housing in the form of second dwelling units. Since adoption of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in 2002, the City has approved more than 8,000 housing units by private developers. Given the flexibility and incentives offered by the City's Inclusionary Housing program, and as demonstrated by the significant housing development entitled after the adoption of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the City's affordable housing requirements are not constraining residential development. Furthermore, the City's High Density Residential zone offers a density of over 25 units per acre. Since there is no established maximum density and the City offers flexibility through its PD process, a project can be tailored to ensure feasibility. Development Permit Procedures Development review and permit procedures are necessary steps to ensure that residential construction proceeds in an orderly manner. The following discussion outlines the level of review required for various permits and timelines associated with those reviews. The timelines provided are estimates; actual processing time may vary due to the volume of applications and the size and complexity of the projects. Single-Family All new single family dwellings are subject to Site Development Review approval by either the Director of Community Development or the Planning Commission. The Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department also reviews building permit applications for conformity to adopted building codes. Approval of a building permit for a single-family dwelling is ministerial and processing time is highly dependent on the quality of the initial submittal. Multi-Family Housing All multi-family housing projects are subject to Site Development Review by the Planning Commission. If the multi-family housing is proposed as a condominium, the approval process also includes a subdivision map. The tentative subdivision map and Site Development Review are processed concurrently. The application procedure is established in Chapter 8.104 of the Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of the review is to: A. To preserve the architectural character and scale of neighborhoods and the community. B. To ensure that development is well designed in relation to surrounding properties, including that the design, character, height, facade length, roof forms, colors, materials, roof mounted equipment and architectural details of a proposed structure or remodeled structure are compatible with the design, character, height, fagade length, roof form, colors, materials and architectural details of structures in the vicinity. C. To ensure that projects enhance their sites and are harmonious with high standards of improvements in the surrounding area. Appendix C-57 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) D. To enhance the residential and business property values within the City. E. To ensure compliance with development regulations and the requirements of zoning districts, including but not limited to, setbacks, height, parking, landscaping, public art, fences, accessory structures and signage. F. To ensure that each project is designed to comply with the intent and purpose of the zoning district in which it is located and with the General Plan and applicable Specific Plan. G. To promote the health, safety and general welfare. H. To ensure that projects provide adequate circulation for automobiles as well as pedestrians and bicyclists to create a pedestrian friendly environment. The following findings must be made prior to the approval of a Site Development Review application: A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of this Chapter, with the General Plan and with any applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines. B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance. C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties and the lot in which the project is proposed. D. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development. E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed. F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other development in the vicinity. G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public. H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure proper circulation for bicyclists, pedestrians and automobiles. As the Site Development Review is required for residential and non-residential uses alike and the findings are the same for all uses subject to the requirement, the Site Development Review process is not a constraint on the provision of multi-family housing in Dublin. Appendix C-58 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Processing Timeframes Processing time frames for single-family and multi-family subdivisions vary depending on a number of factors, including size, location, environmental constraints, and developer responsiveness. Much of the newer residential development (single-family and multi-family) is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area and is governed by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and associated Environmental Impact Report. The Specific Plan establishes land use designations for all property within the Specific Plan area and contains development standards such as dwelling units per acre and floor area ratio. The Specific Plan also includes design guidelines and resource management. These standards and guidelines coupled with the Planned Development Zoning process provide the developer with a framework for development as well as flexibility to design a project without being limited by traditional setbacks and lot coverage restrictions. Planned Development Zoning is processed concurrently with site plan review and therefore does not increase the processing timeline. Additionally, the certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Specific Plan area reduces the processing timelines for development projects that are consistent with the Specific Plan. For example, all of the high-density residential projects at the Dublin Transit Center as well as the Dublin Ranch communities of Oak Groves and Pine Groves/Cedar Groves were deemed categorically exempt from further environmental review because they were consistent with the Specific Plan. The one factor that contributes to increased processing timelines is the lack of responsiveness by developers to public agency comments. This lack of response often results in additional review time that increases the processing timeline and costs associated with the project. However, since adoption of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Planned Development Zoning in 1994 the City has been able to work successfully with the development community resulting in the approval of over 13,000 residential units. Building Codes and Enforcement The City of Dublin currently uses the following Codes: 2012 Edition of the International Building Code (2013 CA Building Code); 2012 Edition of the International Fire Code (2013 CA Fire Code); 2012 Edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code (2013 CA Mechanical Code); 2012 Edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code (2013 CA Plumbing Code); 2012 Edition of the National Electrical Code (2013 CA Electrical Code); and 1997 Uniform Housing Code. The Planning and Building Divisions of the Community Development Department carry out code enforcement and inspection activities as a means to preserve and maintain the livability and quality of neighborhoods. City staff investigates violations of property maintenance standards as defined in the Municipal Code as well as other complaints. When violations are identified or cited, staff encourages property owners to seek assistance through available housing rehabilitation programs. Although current building codes may be a barrier to the rehabilitation of older properties that are required to be brought up to current code standards, the intent of the codes is to provide structurally sound, safe, and energy-efficient housing. The City of Dublin proactively enforces property maintenance, graffiti and substandard housing ordinances throughout the City. Between 2007 and 2012, Code Enforcement officials documented 3,104 residential code violations. When code violations are unable to be resolved through voluntary compliance or through the nuisance abatement procedure, the City refers such cases to the City Attorney for prosecution. The City Attorney's office may seek injunctions, receivership and civil lawsuits to achieve compliance with City codes. Since 2007, no residential building-related cases were referred to the City Attorney's office. The City will Appendix C-59 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) continue to enforce property maintenance standards and abate substandard structures through Code Enforcement. Housing for Persons with Disabilities Both the federal Fair Housing Amendment Act (FHAA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act direct local governments to make reasonable accommodations (i.e. modifications or exceptions) in their zoning laws and other land use regulations when such accommodations may be necessary to afford disabled persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. The City assessed its zoning ordinance, permitting procedures, development standards, and building codes to identify potential constraints for housing for persons with disabilities. The City's policies and regulations regarding housing for persons with disabilities are described below. Zoning and Land Use Under State Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (aka Lanterman Act), small community care facilities for six or fewer persons must be treated as regular residential uses and be permitted by right in all residential districts; Dublin is compliant with the Lanterman Act. Large community care facilities for more than six persons are conditionally permitted within the R-1, R-2, R-M, C-1, C-2, M-P, and M-1 zoning districts. Potential conditions for approval may include hours of operation, security, loading requirements, and management. Conditions would be similar to those for other similar uses in the same zones and would not serve to unduly constrain the development of residential care facilities for more than six persons. The City has not adopted a spacing requirement for community care facilities. The Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance provide for the development of multi-family housing in the R-2 and R-M zoning districts. Regular multi-family housing for persons with special needs, such as apartments for seniors and the disabled are considered regular residential uses permitted by right in these zones. The Zoning Ordinance has a provision to allow exceptions to development standards for accessory structures (Section 8.40.020.F.2.a). Similarly, the Development Regulations section of the Zoning Ordinance has provisions that allow for encroachments into required setbacks (Section 8.36.050.8.2 & 3). These exceptions/encroachments are allowed citywide and could accommodate a wide range of needs for persons with disabilities. However, circumstances may arise when it would be reasonable to accommodate requests from persons with disabilities to waive a setback requirement or another standard of the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that homes are accessible for the mobility impaired. Whether a particular modification is reasonable depends on the circumstances, and must be decided on a case-by- case basis. In April 2011, the City adopted a formal ministerial process for persons with disabilities to seek relief from the strict or literal application of development standards to enable them to enjoy their dwellings like other residents in Dublin. The City has not established any special distance requirements for the housing for persons with disabilities. Therefore, the State distance standard of 300 feet applies. In order to facilitate housing for persons with disabilities, the City offers fee deferment or amortization for senior housing (which often includes accessible units and is occupied by many seniors with disabilities.) Appendix C-60 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Building Codes The City enforces Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations that regulates the access and adaptability of buildings to accommodate persons with disabilities. In 2007, the City adopted a Universal Design Ordinance that requires new single-family home developers to install base Universal Design features in all single-family developments of 20 or more homes. The Universal Design Ordinance is substantially the same as the Model Universal Design Local Ordinance adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The City developed a brochure on the Universal Design Ordinance after its adoption in December 2007 and has updated it periodically to ensure that current information regarding the Ordinance is distributed. The brochure and other related information regarding the Ordinance has been posted to the City's website and is also available at the public counter. In 2010, there was an update to the Ordinance to meet the current building code and which took effect January 1, 2011. The City will continue to enforce the provisions of this ordinance. Government Code Section 12955.1 requires that 10 percent of the total dwelling units in multi- family buildings without elevators consisting of three or more rental units or four or more condominium units be subject to the following building standards for persons with disabilities: • The primary entry to the dwelling unit shall be on an accessible route unless exempted by site impracticality tests. • At least one powder room or bathroom shall be located on the primary entry level served by an accessible route. • All rooms or spaces located on the primary entry level shall be served by an accessible route. Rooms and spaces located on the primary entry level and subject to this chapter may include but are not limited to kitchens, powder rooms, bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. • Common use areas shall be accessible. • If common tenant parking is provided, accessible parking spaces is required. No unique Building Code restrictions are in place that would constrain the development of housing for persons with disabilities. Compliance with provisions of the City's Municipal Code, California Code of Regulations, California Building Standards Code, and federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is assessed and enforced by the Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department as a part of the building permit submittal. Definition of Family Local governments may restrict access to housing for households failing to qualify as a "family" by the definition specified in the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, a restrictive definition of "family" that limits the number of and differentiates between related and unrelated individuals living together may impermissibly limit the development and siting of group homes for persons with disabilities but not for housing families that are similarly sized or situated.16 16 California court cases (City of Santa Barbara v. Adamson, 1980 and City of Chula Vista v. Pagard, 1981, etc.) have ruled an ordinance as invalid if it defines a "family" as(a) an individual; (b)two or more persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption; or(c)a group of not more than a specific number of unrelated persons as a single housekeeping unit. These cases have explained that defining a family in a manner that distinguishes between blood-related and non-blood related individuals does not serve any legitimate or useful objective or purpose recognized under the zoning and land use planning powers of a municipality, and therefore violates rights of privacy under the California Constitution. Appendix C-61 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) In April 2011, the City of Dublin amended its definition of "family." The Zoning Ordinance now defines a "family" as one or more persons occupying a dwelling and living as a single, non-profit housekeeping unit, including any servants. This is distinguished from a group occupying a boarding house, community care facility, supportive or transitional housing when configured as group housing, hotel or motel, club, fraternity or sorority house. Conclusion After the extensive Zoning Ordinance revisions completed in 2011, there are no longer any City policies or regulations that serve to constrain housing for persons with disabilities. However, the City will continue to monitor the Zoning Ordinance for potential constraints and make amendments as needed. C. Public Policy Constraints State and Federal requirements may act as a barrier to the development or rehabilitation of housing, and affordable housing in particular. These include State prevailing wage requirements, Article 34 of the State Constitution and environmental review requirements. State Prevailing Wage Requirements The State Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Labor Code Section 1720, which applies prevailing wage rates to public works of over $1,000, now defines public works to mean construction, alteration, installation, demolition, or repair work done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of public funds. For example, public transfer of an asset for less than fair market value, such as a land write-down, would now be construed to be paid for, in part, out of public funds and trigger prevailing wage requirements. While the cost differential in prevailing and standard wages varies based on the skill level of the occupation, prevailing wages tend to add to the overall cost of development. In the case of affordable housing projects, prevailing wage requirements could effectively reduce the number of affordable units that can be achieved with public subsidies. The following types of projects are exempt from the prevailing wage requirement: • Residential projects financed through issuance of bonds that receive an allocation through the State; or • Single-family projects financed through issuance of qualified mortgage revenue bonds or mortgage credit certificates. Article 34 of the California Constitution Article 34 of the State Constitution requires a majority vote of the electorate to approve the development, construction, or acquisition by a public body of any "low rent housing project' within that jurisdiction. In other words, for any projects to be built and/or operated by a public agency where at least 50 percent of the occupants are low income and rents are restricted to affordable levels, the jurisdiction must seek voter approval known as "Article 34 authority" to authorize that number of units. Dublin has not sought voter approval to grant "Article 34 authority." In the past, Article 34 may have prevented certain projects from being built. In practice, most public agencies have learned Appendix C-62 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) how to structure projects to avoid triggering Article 34, such as limiting public assistance to 49 percent of the units in the project. Furthermore, the State legislature has enacted Sections 37001, 37001.3, and 37001.5 of the Health and Safety Code to clarify ambiguities relating to the scope of the applicability of Article 34. Although Dublin does not have Article 34 authority, the City does not view this as a significant constraint to the development of affordable housing since the City does not typically function as a developer. Environmental Protection State and federal regulations require environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, development review permits, etc.). Costs resulting from the environmental review process are also added to the cost of housing and are passed on to the consumer to the extent that the market can bear. These costs include fees charged by local government and private consultants needed to complete the environmental analysis, and from delays caused by the mandated public review periods. However, the presence of these regulations helps preserve the environment and ensure environmental safety to Dublin residents. D. Utility and Public Service Constraints The provision of utilities such as water and sewer as well as public services including police, fire, and schools is costly to local governments and special districts providing municipal services. New development must pay for much of these costs thereby increasing the overall cost of housing. This section provides an overview of potential utility and public service constraints in Dublin. Water Supply and Distribution Dublin's water is distributed by Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD), which purchases water from Zone 7 of the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, which, in turn, imports it from three sources: State water project, local runoff from the Arroyo Del Valle watershed (stored in Lake Del Valle) and from natural recharge of the groundwater basin. A recent United States District Court decision mandated a 35 percent reduction in pumping from the Sacramento Delta to protect the endangered Delta Smelt. As a result of this mandated reduction, alternative measures to conserve existing and secure additional water supply will be necessary. The largest categorical consumer of water is residential users, and more specifically, single-family residential users. Although the total water demand over the past 10 years has increased for the single-family residential category, the total number of single-family households has increased at a greater rate than the total water demand rate. Therefore, the average annual consumption of a single family household has decreased from 140,700 gallons per year in 2002 to 117,200 gallons per year in 2012, according to the DSRSD. This 16-percent decrease in the average household consumption is due to many factors, including a greater use of water efficient features, installation of more water-efficient landscapes, and greater public education regarding the importance of water conservation. DSRSD has a comprehensive Water Conservation Program in place that includes both supply- and demand-side measures, including audits, incentives, optimal management practices, enforcing wastewater and landscape regulations, education programs, support activities, Appendix C-63 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) metering, and pipe replacement. The City of Dublin also currently utilizes several means to promote water conservation and efficiency in new development: • Implementation of Chapter 8.88 of the Municipal Code (Water Efficient Landscape Regulations) which requires that development projects of a certain size and scope be designed with landscape materials and maintenance that is sensitive to reducing water use. Chapter 8.88 conforms to the state mandate to either have a local Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance or require that new projects conform to the statewide Water Efficient Landscape requirements. • Implementation of Chapter 7.94 of the Municipal Code (Dublin Green Building Code), with the purpose of enhancing the design and construction of buildings and encouraging sustainable construction practices in several categories including water efficiency and conservation. • Participation and collaboration with outside organizations and agencies on programs to educate the public and provide hands-on assistance to increase water conservation efforts. Senate Bill 1087 (enacted 2006) requires that water providers develop written policies that grant priority to proposed development that includes housing affordable to lower-income households. The legislation also prohibits water providers from denying or conditioning the approval of development that includes housing affordable to lower income households, unless specific written findings are made. The City will provide a copy of the adopted 2015-2023 Housing Element to DSRSD within 30 days of adoption. The City will also continue to coordinate with the DSRSD to ensure affordable housing developments receive priority water service provision. Sewage Collection and Treatment The Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) is the purveyor of wastewater collection and treatment services in the City of Dublin. The wastewater collection system includes over 170 miles of sanitary sewers ranging from six to forty-two inches in diameter that are from five to over forty years old. Disposal of treated wastewater is under the jurisdiction of the Livermore- Amador Valley Water Management Authority (LAVWMA). Wastewater collected from the DSRSD service area travels by gravity to the DSRSD wastewater treatment plant which is located in the City of Pleasanton. The plant has a rated dry-weather capacity of 17.0 million gallons per day (mgd). Disposal of treated effluent from the treatment plant in Pleasanton is provided by the Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) who exports secondary treated wastewater to the East Bay Dischargers Authority interceptor pipeline for ultimate discharge to the San Francisco Bay via a deep-water outfall. LAVWMA facilities are designed to export a maximum flow of 41.2 mgd during wet weather events. Senate Bill 1087 described above also mandates priority sewage collection and treatment service to housing developments providing units affordable to lower income households. The City will continue to coordinate with DSRSD to ensure priority service provision to affordable housing developments. Fire Protection The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) serves as the fire department for the City of Dublin and provides all fire prevention, fire protection and First Responder Emergency Medical Services, including advanced life support (paramedics), within the City. The ACFD has Appendix C-64 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) identified the need to modernize its fleet and make staffing adjustments to adequately serve future development while maintaining current service levels to existing development. Schools The Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) provides public education in the City of Dublin. DUSD currently operates elementary, middle and high schools in the Primary and Eastern Extended Planning Areas. At build-out of the General Plan, which is expected to occur in 2035, DUSD estimates a student enrollment of 9,755 students. E. Environmental Constraints A community's environmental setting affects the feasibility and cost of developing housing. Environmental issues range from the conservation of biological resources to the suitability of land for development due to potential exposure to seismic, flooding, wildfire and other hazards. This section summarizes these potential constraints in Dublin. (Refer to the Conservation Element, Seismic Safety and Safety Element, and the Schools, Public Lands, and Utilities Element of the General Plan for more detailed analyses and mitigating policies that address environmental issues or hazards within the Dublin planning area.) Biological Resources Dublin's Primary and Eastern Extended Planning Areas are located within Livermore Drainage Unit which is one of two major drainage basins in the Alameda Creek Watershed. Of the many streams in the Livermore Drainage Unit, two flow through Dublin's Primary and Eastern Extended Planning Areas — Alamo Creek and Tassajara Creek, respectively. Portions of these creeks have been channelized and remaining sections are being improved as a result of subdivision developments. The Western Extended Planning Area lies within the San Lorenzo Creek Watershed and includes the Palomares Creek and Dublin Creek sub-watersheds. Several significant streams traverse the Western Extended Planning Area including Hollis Canyon and Martin Canyon Creeks in the western hills. Extensive areas of riparian vegetation are located along stream courses in the Western Extended Planning Area. This riparian woodland has importance to wildlife in the area. Considerable damage to riparian areas has resulted from intensive grazing. Oak woodland is another sensitive habitat community located in Dublin. Most of the oak woodland that can be found in Dublin is concentrated in the Western Extended Planning Area. In addition to California live oaks, other species such as bay, laurel and California buckeye are a vital part of this plant community. The City emphasizes preservation of oak woodland in the Western Extended Planning Area. Development should be clustered in grassland areas wherever possible to protect existing trees. However, as part of comprehensive planning for development in this area, some oak woodland may need to be removed. Removal of oaks is allowed only after all feasible site planning efforts have been made to preserve trees. Heritage Tree Preservation Heritage trees, defined as any oak, bay, cypress, maple, redwood, buckeye, and sycamore tree having a trunk or main stem of 24 inches or more in diameter or any other tree required to be preserved as part of a discretionary entitlement, are protected by City ordinance. Removal of heritage trees requires a permit upon finding that the tree presents a public safety risk, removal Appendix C-65 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) is necessary for reasonable development of property, does not increase erosion or stream water flow potential, or would not otherwise affect neighborhood aesthetics. Seismic Hazards The Calaveras Fault is the major active fault in the planning area with rupture potential and runs parallel to and just west of San Ramon Road. The Pleasanton Fault, located near the west edge of Camp Parks, is difficult to locate precisely. The State has established Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones along both faults, requiring detailed studies of rupture hazards prior to construction. Few potential building sites within the City of Dublin or the extended planning area are without geologic impact or hazard. The hazard may be actual, such as an active landslide or proximity to an active fault, or potential, such as a proposed cut that might activate a landslide. Mitigation of hazards may increase construction cost, but will reduce long-term costs to both property owners and the City. Fire Hazards Steep, inaccessible slopes and brush create a high fire hazard in the western hills. Additionally, areas within the Extended Planning Areas that are adjacent to open space are susceptible to fire hazards. For projects that are constructed outside a fire station service area (greater than 1.5 miles from the nearest fire station) and/or interface with open space, certain built-in fire protection measures will be necessary. For example, sprinklers are required for all habitable structures beyond five minutes response time from a station. A fire protection buffer zone may also be required around the perimeter of residential development situated adjacent to undeveloped open space land. Furthermore, the City enforces its Fire Safe Roof and Spark Arrestor ordinances for development proposed near high fire hazard areas. These measures may increase the cost of new housing in vulnerable areas; however, the added protection is necessary to ensure public health, safety, and welfare. Flooding Both 100 and 500 year flood zones have been identified in portions of the Primary and Eastern Extended Planning Areas; no100 year or 500 year flood zones have been identified in the Western Extended Planning Area. Most of the areas in the 100 year flood plain have been built upon. Any new construction in flood prone areas must comply with Chapter 7.24 (Flood Control) of Title 7 of the Dublin Municipal Code including constructing the first floor above the floodplain level. A number of channel improvements have been implemented since the early 1990's as a result of local developments partnering with Zone 7 and/or the City of Dublin, and Caltrans transportation projects. Channel improvements have been made along Tassajara Creek (Line K), Alamo Creek (Line F), and Big Canyon Creek (Line J-1). In addition to the major creeks in Dublin, several tributaries have undergone improvements as well, including the undergrounding of Line G-3 and the channel wall-raising of Line G-5. While no major flood improvement projects have clearly been identified in the City of Dublin for the future, Zone 7 is presently working on an update to their Stream Management Master Plan (SMMP), which will consider new, innovative approaches to providing regional flood protection, including options that may include the use of enhanced floodplains and vegetated stormwater Appendix C-66 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) channels. Areas along Chabot Canal located in Camp Parks and upland areas along Tassajara Creek will likely present partnering opportunities for Zone 7 and the City of Dublin. Appendix C-67 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) 3. Housing Resources This section evaluates the resources available in Dublin for the development and preservation of housing. A. Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) State law (California Government Code Section 65584) provides for councils of governments to prepare regional housing allocation plans that assign a share of a region's housing construction need to each city and county. In the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is the council of governments authorized under State law to identify existing and future housing needs for the region. ABAG adopted a new regional housing allocation plan on July 18, 2013. This "Regional Housing Needs Assessment" (RHNA) covers the planning period from January 1, 2014 through October 31, 2022. Existing need is evaluated based on overpayment (30 percent or more of income), overcrowding by lower income households, and the need to raise vacancy rates in the jurisdiction to a level at which the market would operate freely. The housing assessment also includes an impaction correction to reduce the further concentration of lower income households in jurisdictions that already have more than the regional average of such households. ABAG's methodology is based on the regional growth estimates developed by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). These are "planning goals" and are not meant to match, and often exceed, anticipated housing production. The planning goals developed by HCD are provided to ABAG in the form of regional housing goals, divided into income categories. ABAG is responsible for allocating the RHNA goals to cities and counties in the Bay Area. The RHNA is a minimum needs number—jurisdictions are free to plan for, and accommodate, a larger number of dwelling units than the allocation. The jurisdiction must, however, identify adequate sites at appropriate zoning and development standards to accommodate its RHNA. While the jurisdiction must also show how it will facilitate and encourage the development of these units, it is not obligated to build any of the units itself or finance their construction. According to the RHNA, the City of Dublin has a total housing construction need of 2,285 units. Table C-34 shows Dublin's 2014-2022 planning period allocation. The City must accommodate these units either through production of units or provision of adequate sites that can accommodate these units. Specifically, for facilitating the development of lower income units, the State has established a default density of 30 units per acre. Appendix C-68 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Table C-34: Regional Housing Needs Assessment (2014-2022) Income Level Dwelling Units % of Total Extremely Low/Very Low-Income' 796 34.8% Low-Income 446 19.5% Moderate-Income 425 18.6% Above-Moderate-Income 618 27.0% Total 2,285 100.0% Source:ABAG Regional Housing Needs Assessment Note 1:AB 2634 amending the Housing Element law requires local jurisdictions project its future housing needs for extremely low income households(0-30 percent AMI). Specifically, State law provides two methodologies for estimating the extremely low income needs —either by splitting the very low income category evenly between extremely low(0-30 percent AMI)and very low(31-50 percent AMI)incomes;or to apportion the very low income category based on Census data. The 796 very low income RHNA units can be split into 398 extremely low(50 percent)and 398 very low(50 percent)income units. B. Credits against the RHNA Approved Projects As the RHNA is for the planning period of January 1, 2014 through October 31, 2022, housing units approved but not yet constructed as of January 1, 2014 can be credited toward the RHNA. As of February 2014, seven projects have been approved in the City but not yet constructed. These recent development activities in the City have been primarily lower and medium density developments, and most opted to pay a fee in-lieu of including affordable units on site. One project — the Crown Chevy redevelopment site (formerly known as the Kingsmill project) - fulfills its affordable housing requirement by providing a 1.37-acre parcel to Eden Housing to develop up to 76- apartments for low income households. At least 38 units will be reserved for returning veterans who have been severely injured. The remaining 38 units will be set aside for low income families with a preference for families of veterans.

Specifically, the City has met its requirement for the above moderate income RHNA, with a remaining RHNA of 1,591 lower and moderate income units (see Table C-35).

Future Development Potential Vacant Sites Vacant residential properties in the City can accommodate a maximum of 1,620 units based on maximum permitted densities (Table C-36). However, based on the recent trend of development proposals averaging closer toward the mid-point densities, the more realistic estimate of development potential is 965 units.

This plan was approved by the Dublin City Council on February 1, 2011. Existing uses in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area are characterized by commercial and office uses with large surface parking spaces. Existing vacancies and underutilization of land are evident throughout the Specific Plan area. Within the Specific Plan, three districts have been identified to establish unique development standards and guidelines: • Retail District: Comprised of mostly regional serving large-format retailers bounded by Amador Valley Boulevard, 1-680, Dublin Boulevard and San Ramon Road. The Specific Plan allow for up to 100 residential units in the Retail District. • Transit-Oriented District: Comprised of land south of Dublin Boulevard and within walking distance to the West Dublin BART Station. The Specific Plan allows for up to 1,100 residential units in the Transit-Oriented District; to date, 1,009 units have been entitled, with a remaining cap of 91 units only. • Village Parkway District: Comprised of retail and service-oriented businesses along both sides of Village Parkway. The Specific Plan allows for up to 100 residential units in the Village Parkway District. As previously discussed (Table C-24), multi-family and mixed use developments are permitted in the three districts, with an established cap of 1,300 residential units in the Specific Plan area. Appendix C-73 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Figure C-9: Downtown Dublin Specific Plan ` jLEGEND QS�,'t: Plan:rvdar Spesi}ic Plan Dmfricts Pood T.a.il.!henle9_..icl A.. .,.i. s.Ci'16-i 7, if•.D' The City is in the process of amending the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan to increase residential development opportunities in the area and distribute potential development across three districts. Once amended the Specific Plan would allow for 300 additional units in the Retail District (400 units total), 800 additional units in the Transit-Oriented District (1,900 units total), and 100 additional units in the Village Parkway District (200 units total). With the amendment, a total of 2,500 residential units would be permitted in the Specific Plan area. However, about 1,009 of the 1,900 units in the Transit-Oriented district have been entitled already, leaving a capacity of 891 additional units in that district. Table C-37: Amendment to Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Existing Proposed District Density Dwelling Unit Dwelling Unit Density Ca Ca Retail 0.35 FAR 100 22.0 du/ac (min) 400 Transit-Oriented 85.0 du/acre 1,100 30.0 du/ac(min) 1,900 Village Parkway 15.0 du/acre 100 15.0 du/ac(max) 200 Total 1,300 2,500 Appendix C-74 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) As part of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan amendment and this Housing Element update, City staff conducted a parcel-specific vacant and underutilized sites analysis to identify properties with near-term development potential within the three districts. Factors considered included: • Developer interest • Existing vacancies and availability of space for lease • Properties available for sale • Age of existing structures • Deferred maintenance • Existing Floor Area Ratio (FAR) compared to allowable FAR • Size of property and lot consolidation potential If these properties were to be redeveloped according to the proposed allowable densities, up to 408 units may be achieved in the Retail District, 1,679 units in the TOD District, and 488 units in the Village Parkway District, for a total capacity of 2,679 units. However, given the dwelling unit cap established in each district, only about half of the capacity is used to fulfill the RHNA. (A detailed sites inventory is included in Appendix D.) Density and Affordability State Housing Element law establishes a default density of 30 units per acre for communities in Alameda County with a population over 25,000 as being adequate to facilitate and encourage the development of lower income housing. However, this default density is not a mandate and local jurisdictions can use alternative density thresholds to measure feasibility for lower income housing based on a demonstrated history. City staff researched recent affordable housing projects in the Greater Tri-Valley region and concluded that affordable housing for lower income households can be achieved at a density between 20 and 25 units per acre (Table C-38). The City had also previously contacted EAH, developer of Camellia Place at the Dublin Transit Center. The representative of EAH commented that affordable housing can be achieved in Dublin at a density of around 22 units per acre. At this density, it is feasible to develop two-three story walkup apartments at a reasonable level of subsidies. Based on the affordable housing projects in the Greater Tri-Valley area, this Housing Element uses 22 units per acre as a density threshold for measuring feasibility for lower income housing. Specifically because once amended, the majority of the Retail District of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan would require a minimum density of 22 units per acre, 75 percent of the development cap in this district is credited toward the lower income RHNA. Development potential in the TOD District, with a minimum density of 30 units per acre, defaults to the lower income level of affordability.

For sites that are most likely to be developed as single-family homes, these sites are credited toward meeting the City's above moderate income RHNA. For sites that are most likely to be developed as attached multi-family development (such as condominiums and townhomes), these sites are used to fulfill the City's moderate income RHNA. Adequacy of Sites Inventory The City's remaining residential sites and sites in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area, along with approved projects, have the potential to accommodate up to 3,671 units. Overall, the available sites/approved units total 1,367 lower income units, 448 moderate income units, and 1,856 above moderate income units (see Table C-39), adequate to meet the City's RHNA for the planning period.

Appendix C-76 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) Infrastructure Capacity According to the Dublin San Ramon Services District Water Master Plan (2005), the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) currently serves the Central Dublin, Eastern Dublin, and Camp Parks area. The District's service area will encompass approximately 27 square miles and is projected to include build out of the existing service areas plus the Western Dublin and Dougherty Valley planning areas. Build out is estimated at 78,260 residents by 2020. Due to the recent economic recession and depressed housing market, buildout of the service area has delayed. For example, current (2012 American Community Survey) population in Dublin is estimated at 45,800, well below the projected 2015 population of 50,320, or 10,320 residents below the projected population by 2020. The City has a RHNA of 2,285 units through 2023. Prorating this RHNA for the planning period of the master plan yields an additional 1,430 units. At an average household size of 2.7 persons per household, the additional units would yield 3,860 additional residents in Dublin, well below the projected buildout provided for in the water plan. Therefore, projected water services capacity is adequate to accommodate the City's RHNA. The Dublin San Ramon Service District also provides wastewater collection and treatment services to the City of Dublin in Alameda County and portions of the City of San Ramon in Contra Costa County. The District's wastewater service area is smaller than the water service area (wastewater service to the northern portion of San Ramon and to the Dougherty Valley is provided by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District). The DSRSD wastewater collection system includes over 107 miles of sanitary sewers from 6 to 42 inches in diameter. The ages of the sewers range from less than 5 to over 40 years old. The DSRSD Wastewater Collection System Master Plan Update (February 2000) states that there are eight improvement projects recommend providing the required capacity in the District's wastewater collection system. All necessary capital improvements were completed by 2003 to serve future growth. D. Financial Resources Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee As a small city, the City of Dublin has very limited access to financial resources for affordable housing. The significant resource for the City is the Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee. The City adopted an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance in 2002 to assure that housing development contributes to the attainment of the City's housing goals by increasing the production of residential units affordable by households of very low, low, and moderate incomes. Upon request, the City Council can allow the applicant to pay a fee in-lieu of constructing the affordable units that the developer would otherwise be required to construct. In-lieu fees are placed into an Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund. The In-Lieu Fee is primarily used to support the construction of affordable housing units. The City also approved a Commercial Linkage Fee on May 3, 2005. Fees are charged to non-residential developments, based on the square footage and type of commercial building space and placed into an Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund. Appendix C-77 City of Dublin Housing Element(2015-2023) As of April 2014, the City's Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fee Fund has a balance of $7,013,816. The funds are to be used for the following activities: • Affordable housing construction loans; • First Time Homebuyer Loan Program; • Homeownership training and foreclosure prevention services; • Rental assistance programs; • Housing Division's administrative costs; and • Alameda County Homeless Management Information System. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CDBG is the largest federal housing-related program for affordable housing. It is a "pass- through" program that allows local governments to use federal funds to alleviate poverty and blight. Cities with populations of over 50,000 receive CDBG funds directly from HUD, while smaller cities usually use county-administered CDBG funds. HUD makes allocations based on a formula that takes population, poverty, and housing distress into account. CDBG funds are used for a variety of housing efforts including activities aimed at reducing costs for private development (helping fund site acquisition, improvement, and other soft costs); housing acquisition and rehabilitation through short and long-term loans, grants or loan guarantees; direct payment of rent or mortgage and housing counseling services; and fair housing activities. CDBG funds are best used in combination with other subsidy sources or to provide pre-development funding to initiate housing development. As a small city, the City of Dublin does not qualify to receive CDBG funds directly from HUD. However, it participates in the County of Alameda CDBG program. The County offers the Home Improvement Program for Dublin residents using CDBG funds. E. Administrative Resources The Bay Area is fortunate to have a large number of successful non-profit and for-profit housing developers who have produced thousands of high-quality, well-managed affordable housing projects for lower and moderate income households. Collectively, they have produced multi-family developments, single-family developments, rental and ownership opportunities, sweat-equity developments, mixed income projects, mixed use developments, and housing that is specifically designed to meet the needs of seniors, disabled persons, farm workers, female-headed households, people with substance abuse problems, and/or homeless persons. Active affordable housing developers in the region include Resources for Community Development, Satellite Housing, East Bay Habitat for Humanity, Eden Housing, East Bay Housing Organizations, ECHO Housing, and BRIDGE Housing Corporation, among others. The City of Dublin also achieves affordable housing through its Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance.
