Waive Seeond Reading and adopt Ordinanee (Attaehment 1) amending the Zoning Map to refleet Zoning Ordinance Updates and Minor Map Modifieations FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The original City of Dublin Zoning Map was adopted in July J 983, soon after the City's ineorporation. The Map indicated specific zoning for all properties within the City boundary. Since the original Zoning Map was approved in 1983, there have been several amendments, including the introduction of Planned Development Zoning Districts, Specific Plan Area Rezonings, and the inelusion of properties annexed to the City. In September 1997, Dublin's Zoning Ordinance was ehanged from the original Alameda County Zoning Ordinanc", which had b""n in plac" since the City ineorporated in 1982. The Ordinance revision included renumbering chapters, defining terms, eliminating some zoning districts, and adding others. Additionally, th" r"vision included updating the Ordinance to reflect current planning and zoning laws. At this time, StatT proposes a comprehensive Zoning Map Amendment to ensure the Zoning Map is eonsistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinanee and to further ensure that the Zoning Map reflects appropriate zoning designations for the entire City of Dublin. Th" proposed map utilizes current mapping technology, which provides for a better graphic representation of property parcels and zoning districts (Attachment 3). ANAL YSIS: As part of the Zoning Map Update, there are four eategories of modifications being proposed: I. Modifications to provide consistency with General Plan Land Use Map; I tJö '2..

Planning Commission Meeting: The Planning Connnission heard the proposed project at their meeting on August 23,2005. At this meeting the public hearing was held and the Commissioners diseussed the item. One member of the publie spoke and asked a question about how the updated zoning would impact her residential property. It was explained by Staff that the only substantive ehange on her particular parcel was the minimum lot size (from 7,000 square tcet to 10,000 square feet), which could only impact her if the property was large ~lOUgh to subdivide, whieh none of the atTected parcels are. Thc Plauning Commission closed the public hearing, delih"rated, and passcd a motion to adopt Resolution 05-049 by a vote of 5-0 recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending thc Zoning Map to reflcct Zoning Ordinanee Updates and Minor Map Modifications. City CoulIcil Meetillg: The City Council held a publie hearing on this item at their meeting of Septcmbcr 20, 2005 and introdueed thc Ordinanee approving the proposed Amendment to the Zoning Map. Public Noticing: Altbough the ehangcs being made to the Zoning Map are not substantive, the City notified all property owncrs of affeeted properties to inform them of the modifications and notice was published in the newspaper. StatT held an informational meeting on Tuesday August 9, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. to present the updated Zoning Map and answer any questions from the publie. One member of the public attended the meeting to get elarifieation on the changes proposed, but no eitizens phoned with questions.
