DESCRIPTION:
The City received a letter from Kaiser Permanente, owner of the Kaiser Medical Office Building
and Cancer Center located at 3100 Dublin Boulevard (Attachment 3), requesting recognition of

Section 7.08.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code states that, if there are no addresses in use on a
street, the name of which is to be changed, the City Council may make such a change without
referral to the Planning Commission and without a public hearing. The existing unnamed private
street meets these criteria.
In order to name a private street, notice must be made to various agencies to ensure that there are
no similarly named streets in the area. Staff provided notice to the various agencies on May 5,
2021 and no concerns were noted by the agencies (Attachment 4). In addition, the City received
letters of support from the adjacent property owners on the commercial site (Attachment 5).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted, and a copy of this Staff Report was shared with the applicant.

Dear Ms. Wetherford:
I am writing to request that the City of Dublin name an unnamed driveway near our Kaiser Permanente
Dublin Medical Offices and Cancer Center.
It has been brought to our attention that the driveway west of our facility bordering land purchased from
Kaiser Permanente by Mr. Inder Dosanjh is an unnamed driveway. Mr. Dosanjh has requested the
property be named to give the westerly parcels a better address and identity. Kaiser Permanente owns
the land and the other parcels have easement rights for access to their parcels.
The name that has been agreed upon is ‘Kaiser Road.’ As the property owner, Kaiser Permanente is
formally requesting that the City of Dublin process the request to name the street ‘Kaiser Road.’
Attached is a copy of the recorded Parcel Map 10903, you will see the driveway on the east side (right
side) of the map.
I have copied Mr. Guy Houston, who represents Mr. Dosanjh (guyhouston@sbcglobal.net) and is taking
the lead on the renaming process. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,
Carolina Herrera
Manager, Community & Government Relations
