FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
No financial impact at this time. Costs for acquisition of the land
would be negotiated with the property owners at such time as the
City funds this project as a Capital Improvement Project.
DESCRIPTION: This is the second reading of a proposed ordinance that was
introduced at the City Council meeting on December 2, 2003.
The City is processing a minor revision to the established alignment for the portion of St. Patrick Way
between Golden Gate Drive and Regional Street. The original alignment was approved by the City
Council on October 10, 1988, via Ordinance No. 19-88. The City is in the process of reviewing
development plans for properties that are proposed to be served by the St. Patrick Way extension, and in
order to accommodate all the current and future uses by surrounding properties, a modification to the
alignment is being proposed.
Background:
The Circulation Plan for the Dublin Downtown Specific Plan adopted in 1987 recommended changes to
improve circulation in the downtown area. One such improvement was a new street parallel to and south
of Dublin Boulevard, connecting Amador Plaza Road to Regional Street. The 68-foot right-of-way plan

line included two 12-foot wide travel lanes, one 12-foot wide center two-way left-turn lane, an 8-foot wide
parking area on one side, and an 8-foot wide sidewalk on both sides. On October 10, 1988, the City
Council via Ordinance No. 19-88 established right-of-way lines for a new Parallel Road (now known as
St. patrick Way) between Amador Plaza Road and Regional Street.
On February 24, 1996, the City Council authorized a study to consider realigning the St. Patrick Way
right-of-way line between Regional Street and GOlden Gate Drive at the request of Lincoln Properties, the
owners of the shopping center to the north of the proposed road, in order to provide an area for future
construction of loading docks behind the shopping center. The realignment of the established right-of-
way line for St. Patrick Way between Regional Street and Golden Gate Drive was approved by the
Planning Commission on September 24, 1996, and was presented to City Council on December 4, 1996.
The City Council did not take action on the project because the property owners withdrew their request for
realignment and noted their opposition to the road, realigned or not. The existing alignment, approved in
1988, remained.
As part of the southbound 1-580/1-680 interchange flyover improvement project in 1998, the Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) constructed a new southbound 1-680 on-ramp and off-ramp at Amador Plaza
Road/St. Patrick Way, and also constructed the segment of St. Patrick Way from Amador Plaza Road to
Golden Gate Drive within the adopted right-of-way plan lines for St. Patrick Way. This segment of
St. Patrick Way is therefore complete, so no further action by the City is necessary.
The City Council adopted the West Dublin BART Specific Plan on December 19, 2000, which affirmed
the need for the extension of St. Patrick Way between Golden Gate Drive and Regional Street. The land
uses permitted in the Specific Plan rely on access to St. Patrick Way between Golden Gate Drive and
Regional Street, including the proposed West Dublin BART/Orix and AMB/Legacy Partners (Cor-O-Van)
developments that are currently under review. To address past concerns regarding the adopted right-of-
way alignment, as articulated by Lincoln Properties in 1996, the BART and AMB/Legacy developers
assumed a right-of-way alignment that is consistent with the 1996 proposal. Since the 1996 proposal
differs slightly from the alignment originally adopted in 1988, a modified alignment must now be
established.
I$stles ~
Establishment of Right-of-Way Line:
The procedure for adopting a new roadway alignment is governed by Chapter 7.68 of the Dublin Municipal
Code and by the Government Code. Government Code §65402 requires that property reserved for street
purposes be in conformance with an adopted General Plan by the Planning Commission. Upon receiving a
report and recommendation from the Planning Commission, the City Council can then, pursuant to the
Municipal Code, adopt a Resolution of Intention designating the establishment of the right-of-way, thus
notifying interested parties. A public hearing must subsequently be conducted to allow the City Council to
hear testimony related to said establishment of right-of-way line. Finally, the City Council can adopt an
Ordinance establishing the right-of-way line described in the Resolution, if apprOpriate, and have the
Ordinance recorded with the County Recorder.
Planning Commission:
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed modified right-of-way for St. Patrick Way at its
meeting on November 12, 2003, and adopted Resolution No. 03-53, affirming that the revised alignment
is in conformance with the City of Dublin General Plan. The Planning Commission also approved an
Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the revised alignment, and recommended that the
City Council adopt a Resolution of Intention to establish a revised Right-of-Way Line for St. Patrick Way.

Resolution of Intention:
A Resolution of Intention was adopted via City Council Resolution No. 226-03 on November 18, 2003,
that set December 2, 2003, as the date for the first of two protest heatings. Said resolution was also
published and posted along the street where the right-of-way lines are proposed as required by the
Municipal Code to give interested parties notice of the first reading of the proposed Ordinance.
Analysis:
St. Patrick Way is identified as a major east-west road serving downtown Dublin as a connection to 1-680
orffoff ramps, allowing development of surrounding land uses per the West Dublin BART Specific Plan,
The proposed alignment is generally consistent with the alignment proposed by the property owners in
1996, except that the width has been expanded 3 feet to the north along the approach to Regional Street to
avoid the creation of an unusable remnant parcel. The ultimate right-of-way width for St. Patrick Way
will therefore vary between 68 feet at the east end and 71 feet at the west end. The ultimate section will
consist of two' 12-foot-wide travel lanes, a 12-foot-wide center two-way left-turn lane, an 8-foot-wide
parking strip on the south side, and sidewalks that vary between 6 feet and 11 feet on both sides of the
street. The St. Patrick Way improvements will assure safe and convenient access to abutting properties.
The design will be based on a 25 mile per hour speed limit.
Public Comment Requirements:
The establishment of right-of-way lines is regulated by Chapter 7.68 of the Municipal Code. The Code
allows any person with an interest in land affected by the proposed right-of-way alignment to file with the
City Clerk a written objection, provided said objection is received prior to the Council's consideration of
the alignment. The City Council shall hear all protests or objections filed, and then choose to sustain the
objections and abandon the proceedings, deny the objections and by Ordinance establish said right-of-way
lines, or offer changes and modifications as it shall determine proper. If adopted, the City Clerk shall
record the Ordinance with the County Recorder.
Draft Ordinance:
The draft ordinance was introduced to the City Council at the first of two public hearings on December 2,
2003. At the hearing, Mr. Randy Bennett of Pan Pacific Retail Properties voiced concerns about impacts to
the existing shopping center along the north side of the proposed road alignment. Mr. Bennett was
specifically concerned about the potential loss of parking, impacts to delivery truck maneuverability,
proposed curb cut locations, and compensation for the land to be eventually dedicated as right-of-way.
Mr. Bennett agreed to meet with Staff to resolve these concerns.
No written objections were received by the City Clerk.
Recotntnendation :
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) Open Public Hearing, (2) Receive Staff Presentation,
(3) Receive Public Testimony, (4) Close Public Heating, (5) Deliberate, and (6) Waive reading and Adopt
Ordinance to Establish a modified Right-of-Way Line for St. Patrick Way between Golden Gate Drive and
Regional Way.
