DESCRIPTION: In March 2004 the City Council adopted the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan, March 2004 Update. The plan provides direction for addressing .the long-term recreational
needs of the City and its changing population. At build-out of the City, a 299.5-acre park system is
required based on providing 5 acres of parkland per 1000 residents. When the existing park acreage is
combined with the proposed park acreage for the eastern and western growth areas, there is a 5.3 acre
deficit at buildout of the City. Consequently the Master Plan Update sets forth the following Guiding
Policies and Action Program to deal with the deficit:
Guiding Policy 1.13 Select sites for parkland acquisition in order to provide for the anticipated deficit of
5.3+ acres.
Action Program lk. Designate sites for new parks to alleviate the 5.3+ acre deficiency by amending the
Parks and Recreation Master Plan to show the location of such future park sties.
Anticipating the deficit, the City Council in October 2003 identified six potential locations for parks
prioritized as follows:
Dublin Square Shopping Center (4.2 acres)
Southern Pacific Right of Way (up to 18.9 acres)
Sees Candy Property (1.2 acres)
Starward Drive Property (.70 acres)
Eastern Dublin Property Owners Holdings (5.3 acres)
Dublin Unified School District Offices Site (4.4 acres)
In order to further evaluate these properties for potential parks, it is necessary to secure appraisals 'of the
property value and perform environmental work to evaluate the potential presence of hazardous
substances and the potential for soil and/or groundwater contamination. At this time, Staff recommends

the evaluation of the Dublin Square Shopping Center and the Southern Pacific Right of Way, as these are
the top two priorities of the City Council.
The estimated cost associated with appraisals and environmental work is $53,700. Of this amount
$23,430 is estimated to be spent in Fiscal Year 2003-2004. Consequently an additional appropriation in
the amount of $23,430 is needed in order to proceed with the evaluation.
RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommended that the City Council authorize Staff
to proceed with appraisals and environmental work on the Dublin Square Shopping Center and Southern
Pacific Right of Way and approve a budget change for an additional appropriation from the General Fund
Unappropriated Reserve in the amount of $23,430.
