Mayor Sbranti asked for clarification on what was being asked of the City Council.
Mr. Bradley stated the City Council was being asked if it wanted to pursue a
greenhouse gas emissions target. The Climate Action Plan and EIR would be reviewed
by a Green Task Force for the City Council's further consideration.
City Manager Pattillo stated the City Council was also being asked if they wanted to
establish a Green Task Force during the establishment of Goals for Fiscal Year 2009-
2010.

On motion of Vm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Hart and by unanimous vote, the City
Council directed Staff to develop a proposal for a greenhouse gas emissions reduction
target and a proposed work outline to develop a Climate Action Plan as part of the

8:06 p.m. 7.4 (1060-20)

those stops that included the "Rapid" service.

Heritage and Cultural Arts Manager John Hartnett stated the Downtown Public Art Bus
Shelter Project had identified eight bus shelters for replacement and enhancement with
student art murals with funding coming from three separate CIP projects. The
deployment of the "Rapid" shelters and amenities would essentially dismantle the
original intent of the bus shelter project. Staff was seeking new locations for three
current bus art shelters.
Mayor Sbranti asked if the proposed bus shelter maintenance agreement with LAVTA,
mentioned in the Staff Report, would come back to the City Council for approval.
Ms. Bourgeios stated yes, it would come back to the City Council for approval.
The City Council discussed where to relocate the current art bus shelters. They would
be more visible on Village Parkway. If the goal was to have them in the Downtown,
they should be moved to the Regional and Amador Valley locations. They could locate
two on Village Parkway and one on Amador Valley Boulevard.
On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Vm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote,
the City Council directed Staff to coordinate with LAVTA to relocate the Art Bus
Shelters from Dublin Boulevard to the west bound side of Amador Valley Boulevard,
east of Regional, and Amador Valley Boulevard and Village Parkway, and Brighton
Drive and Village Parkway; defer the Downtown Public Art/Bus Shelter Project CIP
No. 94252 for two years; and grant LAVTA a variance for the bench and receptacle
color from the green identified in the Streetscape Master Plan to silver to maintain
consistency with the RAPID branding.

business community during the current economic downturn. The Planning Division
had identified several alternatives to streamline the entitlement process for development
applications and to promote businesses in Dublin. These alternatives included
modifications to the Site Development Review Chapter (Chapter 8.104), regarding the
level of review required for projects and modifications to the Sign Regulations
(Chapter 8.84), to facilitate the use of banner signs and balloon signs. The proposed
modifications to the sign regulations included: a temporary elimination of fees for
promotional banners and balloons and other minor modifications to the Sign Ordinance.
Cm. Hart asked what a 60 square foot sign would look like.
Ms. Fraser stated signs would be sized to meet a business' needs, therefore, size would
vary. The City currently had a 60 sq. ft. maximum, but only within certain dimensions.
This would allow any dimensions, but no larger than 60 square feet total.
Vm. Hildenbrand stated she could support all the proposals before the City Council
except changes with sign size and balloons.
Mayor Sbranti asked that the City Council discuss these modifications one at a time.
Ms. Fraser stated that the proposed changes were not being enacted tonight. Staff was
asking City Council to provide direction on these topics. Draft ordinance language
would come before the Planning Commission and City Council later for adoption.
The City Council and Staff discussed the proposed waiver of a Site Development
Review in residential zoning for certain accessory structures, as detailed in the Staff
Report. By consensus, the City Council agreed that all multi-family, commercial and
industrial accessory structure, which are less than 120 square feet in size or are not
visible from the right-of--way, be reviewed pursuant to a Site Development Review
Waiver. Accessory structures in asingle-family residential zoning district would not
longer require a Site Development Review.
The City Council and Staff discussed the City's requirement of a SDR for all residential
additions over 500 square feet in size. It allowed Staff to review the proposal and
notify residents within 300 feet of the project site and added an additional step in the
review process for homeowners. By consensus, the City Council agreed to continue the
process for these additions.

The City Council and Staff discussed a temporary two year modification to extend the
valid period of a Permit from one year, with a six month extension, to two years, with a
six month extension. By consensus, the City Council agreed with this suggested
modification.
The City Council and Staff discussed temporary modifications to the sign regulations
for promotional banners and balloons.
Vm. Hildenbrand stated she would not support the proposed modifications to the
promotional banner and balloon requirements, and would like to keep the permit fees
as-is.
Cm. Hart asked what prompted the proposal.
City Manager Pattillo stated this proposal was brought forward by the Chamber of
Commerce.
Vm. Hildenbrand reiterated that she would not support any of the changes. The City of
Dublin was an attractive community that set standards on balloons and signage. There
was not an economic incentive for the community to change these regulations. It was
important to promote community aesthetics. The banners would not increase business
in Dublin.
Cm. Hart stated the City Council should take a look at this in light of the economic
times to benefit businesses.
Mayor Sbranti stated he did not see any benefit in changing the regulations for the
balloons. He did not have a problem with the proposed modifications to banner
regulations, while protecting the aesthetic nature of the community.
Cm. Biddle stated he did not want a situation to exist where there were a lot of
promotional signs and banners. There should be the flexibility of a square foot number
for a banner.
Cm. Scholz stated this item was only for two years and the City was in tough economic
times. The City looked great and extending the length of time a sign was up or having

balloons was not going to make the City look bad. She would compromise and suggest
supporting the banner modifications, but taking out the balloon modifications.
Mayor Sbranti stated the issue could be brought back in a year for review. If there were
concerns or violations, the City could re-evaluate the decision.
Cm. Hart stated the proposed changes could have a significant impact on the
community, but would side err on the side of caution and benefit to the business
community. He would be supportive of a shortened trial period, 6 months or a year.
By consensus, the City Council agreed to a one-year temporary modification to the
promotional banner regulations, no modifications for balloons, and to keep the permit
fee.
The City Council directed Staff that there would be no changes to the Site Development
Review Chapter; the City would continue to require site development reviews for
residential room additions over 500 square feet; there would be an increase in the
length of time for permits being valid; the majority of City Council members agreed to
the modifications in regard to promotional banners, no changes in regard to balloons,
and there would not be a waiving of applications fees. These promotional banner
modifications would be back in one year for review.
Sales Tax Reimbursement Program Agreement with Ring Properties
9:31 p.m. 8.2 (600-30)
Assistant to the City Manager Linda Maurer presented the Staff Report and advised that
the City Council would consider a Sales Tax Reimbursement Agreement between the
City and Ring Properties for improvements made to 11501 Dublin Boulevard. This was
being considered as an economic stimulus measure.
Mayor Sbranti read into the record a letter to the City Council from Kevin Ring, Trinity
Development Company, seeking consideration for the agreement.
Cm. Hart asked what kind of improvements would be made to the property.

Support for Assembly Bill (AB) 1358 (Hill) -Safe & Sustainable Takeout Food
Packa~mg Act; AB 68 (Brownley) and AB 87 (Davis) -Fee for Single Use Bags
9:44 p.m. 8.3 (660-40)
City Engineer Mark Lander presented the Staff Report and advised that AB 1358 would
ban the use of polystyrene takeout food containers within the State of California.
AB 68 and AB 87 would require a 25 cent fee per bag for single use bags from grocery
and retail stores. These bills would likely result in a reduction of litter and debris from
unrecycled and discarded bags and containers, and might result in less costly trash
abatement programs by municipalities. A portion of the single-use bag fee would be
distributed to local agencies for use in trash abatement and water quality programs.
On motion of Vm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Biddle and by unanimous vote, the
City Council authorized the Mayor to sign the letters of support to Assemblymember
Jerry Hill (AB 1358), Assemblymember Julia Brownley (AB 68), Assemblymember
Mike Davis (AB 87), and Assemblymember Mary Hayashi (all three bills).
