COPIES TO:
In-House Distribution
'ITEMNO. t,..~
The purpose of the Rental Availability Ordinance is to provide rental housing in the City of Dublin by
re4uiring that 10% of the total number of units in all new multifamily projects of more than ten urii{s De
maintained as rental units for a period of five years.
.
. .
At the February 6, 1996 joint Planning Commission/City Council study session on affordable housing,
information was presented regarding the supply of housing units in Dublin, including Census and other
State data which estimated the total percentage of rental units in the City to be nearly 35%. The City
Council thus requested staff to report on the status of rental housing availability in the City and whether
the City's Rental Availability Ordinance is still needed to regulate this condition.
.
Subsequent to that joint meeting, Matt Koart, Vice President of Land Acquisitions for Kaufman and
Broad submitted a request (Exhibit E) to amend the Housing Element of the General Plan to delete the
Rental Availability Ordinance. The request cited a recent survey by Anthony Hurt & Associates which
indicates that attached housing units in the City of Dublin tend to provide nearly 30% of the units as
rentals.
Senior Planner Dennis Carrington provided supplemental information on this topic at the March 12, 1996
City Council meeting, including surveys of Dublin condominium developments which indicate a 20-30%
rental occupancy rate for these developments (see Exhibit F). After considering the information
presented, the City Council determined that the City's objective regarding rental housing availability
is being met by the housing market, and that the Rental Availability Ordinance is no longer
necessary. The Council directed staff to begin proceedings to repeal the Ordinance.
As a practical matter, if the Rental Availability Ordinance is repealed, the Housing Element of the
Dublin General Plan must also" be amended, to maintain consistency with the Ordinance repeal. This
is ~ecause the Housing Eleme~t in~~udes a .description of City housin~ programs and related policies,..,:::.:~
whIch refers to the Rental AvaIlabIlIty Ordmance (Strategy lII.E.). ThIS Strategy would need to be ,....
eliminated.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the repeal of the Rental Availability Ordinance and
related General Plan Housing Element Amendment at its May 21, 1996 meeting. After deliberation,
the Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve a Negative Declaration of
environmental impact, adopt a General Plan Housing Element Amendment, and repeal the Rental
A vailabiIity Ordinance.
Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and: 1) adopt
the Resolution Approving a Negative Declaration and Adopting a General Plan Housing Element
Amendment (Exhibit A); 2) waive reading and introduce the Ordinance Repealing the Rental
A vail ability Ordinance (Exhibit B); and 3) schedule the Second Reading for the June 11, 1996 City
Council meeting.

The ordinance codified in this chapter

Ordinance of the City of Dublin." (Ord.
14-91 S 1 (part))
8.04.020 Findings.
A goal of the ciry's adopted housing
element is lO achieve a balanced community
with housing available for households over
a range of income levels. The city of Dub-
lin finds the city is experiencing a shol1age
of rental housing. The city's Housing Ele-
ment identifies a five-percent (5%) vacancy
rate as necessary lO pennit rental mobility
whereas the city's 3.9 percent rental vacan.
cy rate falls far below that goal. (Housing
Element, pp. 16.17.) In addition, rental

housing is an imponant SOllice of affordable
housing since downpayment requirementS
and the high cost of new housing limit new
ownership housing as an affordable housing
SOllice. .AJso. some households choose to
rent for reasons other than affordability. The
City Council fmds that it is a public pur-
pose of the city and a public policy of the
state of California as mandated by the re-
quirementS for a housing element of the
ciry's general plan, lO make available an
adequate supply of rental housing for per.
sons of all economic segmentS of the com-
munity. (Ord. 14-91 S 1 (pan))
8.04.030 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to enhance
the public welfare and assllie that housing
development contributes to the attainment
of the above-described goals by providing
rental housing in the city of Dublin directly
or through land acquisition, land or rental
writedowns, construction of rental housing,
rental assistance, direct conuibutions lO a
non-profit association or cOiporation for
construction of rental housing, landbanking
(including property exchanges) and any
other mechanism available to the ciry to
provide rental housing. A limited and finite
amount of land remains for development of
housing in the city and extended planning
area. In order to assure that the remaining
developable land is utilized in a manner
consistent with the city's housing policies
and needs, ~_citY_gec]ares that ten percent

As you may know, the CiTY'S Remal Housing Ordinance was discussed at a recent stUdy
session with the Dublin City Counc.il and Planning Commission. I provided the Counc.il
and Cornl11i.!>sion with a study prepared by Anthony HW1 & Associates whit;h provided
evidence rhat attached housing tends to provide approximately 30%) renmls, and that this
Ordinance is unDeces.!>ary is l11eet the City's ::;Lated goal of pl'O\iding 10% rentals in multi- .
family projects. . . .
Therefore, pIe-.ase consider this letter an application Lo amend the City's General Plan
Housing Element and the Conditions of Approval for Tract 5926 (aka CA Highlands).
Please leT me know if any other City applications are required., and the amount of the
application fee. I would likc this matter set for the Planning Commission agenda as soon
as possible.
Fina11y, attached is a letter [rom our attorney .which provides legal authority for amending
conditions even though the subdivi.!>io11 map has already been approved and l'eCl1rded.
Thank YOll fOT your assistance.

RE:
Rental Occupancy in Condominium Projects
The City Council requested at its March 26, 1996, Public Hearing on the reduction
oT Rental Availability In-Lieu Rental Fee amount, that information be provided on rental
occupancies in condominium projects at the April 9, public hearing. Anached is a letter to
Mr. fViatt Koart of Kaufman and Broad from Anthony Hurt dated January 31, 1996, which
addresses this concern. Mr. Hurt concluded that rental occupancy in condominium
projects generaliy ranges from twenty-five to thirty-five percent with the overall average
at thirty percent. He expects rental occupancy to be about thirty percent in the Kaufman
and Broad condominiums in Dublin. This level of rental occupancy is expected to occur
within about five years after sell-out of the project.

Subject: Rental Occupancy In Condominium ProjecTs
Dear Mr. Kom,
As requested, we have resec.Lrche::d the q llcstion of what proportion Df
condom..i..n1um units are occupied by renTers. The objecTIve is to forecasT
rent21 occupancy in the condomin.ium project being planned for
development in Dublin.
Our research has induded Identit..eying condominium projects in the
Dublin-Pleasanton-San. Ramon aJ:'ca, contacting several condominium .,.,
management companies and ta.'\: record reseill"ch by First A.Incrican Title "
Comp<my. This lener summurlz;cs OUI fi!'1dingS.
Property Management Companies
We contacted four property management companies \\'ho are active
in central Contra Costa County and the:: Trl-Valley .4.rea. They supp1ied
information on nvenry-five projects in the a1'ea from Martinez to
Plcasanton..
We: should point out that p:roperry managers gent:rally do not '\\--ant
details about iheir finances or occupancy made public. At OUI request, they
agreed to supply information about the pc-rccnt of units occupied by
renters on the condition that their spedfi c project not be identified..
Accordingly. the data presented in the tab1e whJch follows 5s summarized
by area to avoid revealing individual rrtoje-ct lnfoIDlauon.
~
In all, the twenty-fivE' projects r...ave a total of 3.040 units. T.nirty-one
"percenT of these units arc: occupied by renters. Tnduded are ten projeCTS in
San Ramon, Dublin and Pleasanton. The.~e ten projects have 1.174 tOTal
units of which 388 (33~) are occupied by renters.

Public Information (Assessor's Records)
We: identified e1ghl projects in Dublin and Siln Ramon. The map
locations of These projects were transmined to First American Tille:
Company. First A.merlcan rescllTched the tax rccords and identified units
where the address for the: O\'1'ner is Different from the address of the unit.
These units are usut'Jly occuDied by renters and the tax bill is sent to the
O\'i'D.C::I at a different address,i USing tbis data, we have estimated rental
occupancy in the ctght projects. As shovy""ll below, rental occupancy ranges
from twenty.nyo to thirty-three percent with an overall average of h'l'enry-
cigh t percent.

Conclusion
. 'Rental occupancy.in condominium projects generally ranges from
mTellry-five 10 thirty-five percent "WiTh the overall average at thirty percent.
Accordingly, we would expect rentul occupancy to be about thirty percenT in
the Kamman & Broad condol11i.niums in Dublin. This level of rental
1 Tnen: a..'"'t some e.xcep;:ioD.s where me ta.'\.: bill is sent to a different address even
ihou.gh the orv.ner occupie.<:; the unit. Howe\.'cr, these exce.ptions wC' probably oifsc!
b;: instances where the mx bill is sen.t to the unit even though it is occupied by a
renter. It is not uncommon ior :-enters to receive the. bills and fo;rt\.'al"d them to
ovme".,-s who live :lD. oilier areas of t:be CDU!ltry or overseas.
