DESCRIPTION:
Reviewed By
Assistant City Manager
At the City Council Meeting of March 14, 2011, Councilmember Biddle requested that an item
be placed on a future City Council Agenda to discuss the status of Semi - Public designated
properties in Dublin. The City Council's discussion at the March 14th meeting centered around
concerns that properties designated for Semi - Public uses were not being used as such, but
were transitioning to other types of development.
Page 1 of 4 ITEM NO. 8.1
Background
On April 3, 2002, during a review of proposed goals and objectives for fiscal year 2002 -2003,
the City Council approved a goal to study and increase the areas available for Public /Semi-
Public Facilities by initiating a General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment Study. The City
Council expressed the opinion that, although there was sufficient property in Dublin to
accommodate Public /Semi - Public Facilities such as schools, government buildings, libraries,
post offices, etc., there was not enough property designated to facilitate the development of
Semi - Public Facilities. Semi - Public Facilities were considered uses that are not publicly -owned
or operated, but that served to benefit the greater community, such as childcare centers,
religious institutions, community centers, clubhouses /meeting halls, hospitals, etc.
City Staff completed the Study, which was submitted to City Council on February 18, 2003.
After reviewing the Study, City Council determined that public input was needed on the issue,
and directed Staff to advertise for participants for a Public /Semi - Public Facilities Task Force. A
Task Force was convened to discuss and analyze the issue, and to prepare recommendations.
The Task Force held five meetings over the course of their tenure and developed a draft Semi -
Public Facilities Policy for the City Council to consider.
In 2004, the City Council approved a Semi - Public Facilities Policy via Resolution 21 -04
(Attachment 1). This policy established guidance that, when reviewing amendments to the land
use map of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the City shall also
review the provision of opportunities for cultural, educational and other community services.
Semi - Public Facilities, such as child care centers, religious institutions and others as defined in
the General Plan, deliver important community services. It is the intent of the Policy to increase
the opportunities for Semi - Public Facilities by increasing the locations of lands designated Semi -
Public Facilities on the General Plan land use map. To that effect, all land use amendments may
be reviewed for designation of Semi - Public Facilities lands.
Among other things, the Semi - Public Policy went on to establish the following standard for the
provision of Semi - Public designated land within new development: "New residential
development subject to this Policy shall strive to provide sites for Semi - Public Facilities land
uses at a rate of 1 acre (net) per 1,000 residents. In practice, General Plan and Specific Plan
Amendment applications shall strive to provide .5 acres of land designated for Public /Semi-
Public Facilities per 150 units of Single- Family Density (.9 — 6.0 units per acre) and /or .5 acres
of land designated Public /Semi- Public Facilities per 250 units of Medium Density or greater
density (6.1 or more units per acre), or increments and combinations thereof."
After approving the Semi - Public Facilities Policy, the City Council also adopted an amendment
to both the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan that added a new "Semi- Public
Facilities" land use description (Resolution 233 -04, Attachment 2).
As a result of implementing the Semi - Public Facilities Policy in 2004, one new Public /Semi-
Public has been designated and one new Semi - Public site has been designated:
• A new 0.34 acre Public /Semi - Public site was created at Emerald Vista for a childcare
center (currently under development); and
• Four new Semi - Public sites totaling 8.6 net acres were created within the 1,134 -acre
Fallon Village (no immediate development plans).

ANALYSIS:
Although property has been designated for Semi - Public uses, the result of encouraging new
Semi - Public Facilities has been mixed. The following new facilities have been developed:
• Springfield Montessori School was constructed on 2.57 acres at 5100 Brannigan Street.
The project consists of a 16,002 square -foot building, playground, parking lot and related
improvements for a daycare on the site, for up to 180 children aged 2 -6 years. The
project was approved in 2009 on a parcel that had been designated for Public /Semi-
Public uses for several years.
• Emerald Vista Childcare Center will soon be under construction on 0.34 acres at Emerald
Vista. The project was approved in 2009 as an integral part of the Emerald Vista
Residential Project on a parcel that had been designated for Public /Semi - Public uses.
• In late 2010, Mission Valley Properties executed a Development Agreement with the City
that specified a $1 million Community Benefit Payment in lieu of providing Semi - Public
designated property at Jordan Ranch, as would be required by the Semi - Public policy. A
portion of this payment helped enable the City to provide a grant to the YMCA of the East
Bay to assist in defraying costs associated with the operation and administration of
programs and activities at their new Dublin location on Sierra Court.
• The School of Imagination was constructed in 2011 on 0.56 acres on the corner of Dublin
Boulevard and Schaefer Ranch Road. The project consists of a 12,065 s.f. building with
playground, parking lot, and related improvements for the operation of a pre - school for up
to 72 students.
The Semi - Public parcels that remain face development challenges, including:
• The sites are small, ranging from 2.0 to 3.1 acres in size. These sites could be suitable
for a daycare /preschool facility, youth center, or clubhouse /small community center.
However, they are too small for most places of worship /religious institutions, community
theaters, or public- serving medical facility.
• Although designated for Semi - Public uses, the sales or lease price for the property is set
by the property owner, and may or may not be within the budget of an organization
seeking to develop the site for their Semi - Public facility.
Property owners have found that, although Semi - Public sites are required to be included when a
General Plan or Specific Plan Amendment is considered, that the sites are not readily utilized.
Currently, there are four General Plan Amendment studies underway to consider a change from
either a Semi - Public or Public /Semi - Public land use designation for one that allows residential
uses. If these General Plan Amendments are approved, there will be no more Semi - Public sites
remaining. However, requests for future General Plan Amendments that meet the standards
established in the Semi - Public Facilities Policy will require the designation of new Semi - Public
sites.

designated properties and recent General Plan Amendments.

according to the CEQA Guidelines; and, it is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA
Section 15061.b(3); and
WfI EREAS, the Environmental impact Report (EIR) fear the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment was adopted May 10, 1993. The proposed modifications to the General Plan Land Use

Mo dif) cations to the Land Use Maps to reflect City Council direction and to provide consistency
between the General Plan and the pastern Dublin Specific Plan. The specifte amendments to the
General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Maps are as follows!
- Removal of the Community Park ( "CF") land use designation from 45.1 acres in the northernmost
part of Dublin Ranch, along Fallon Road, and change the land use designation to Open Space.
- Removal of the Neighborhood Park ( "NP ") haul use designation from the 11.7 acres of land held
by the Past Bay Regional Park District, along northern Tassajara Road, and change the land use
designation to a new land use, "Regional Park" or "R1E'."
- Change of the Dublin Ranch Community Park to reflect the new acreage included in the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan 2004 Update Ilktstrative Parks Plan from 80 +1- grass acres to a minimum
of 60 +/- net acres. in addition, the Jordan Community Park would be retained to the east of Fallon

- The Neighborhood Park ( "NP ") land use designation for the 12.2 acres of land included in the
Transit Center General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Platt Amendment (PA 00 -013) would be
changed to a "Community Park" land use designation to meet community park needs identified in
