The development of the Radlsson Hotel began under Alameda Counly's Junsdietion in 1972 with
approval of the first site development review The hotel was ongmally approved as a 93-room hotel and
restaurant (Howard Jolmson Motor Lodge). Over time, various Condll1onal Use Permils were approved
to expand the hotel use to what is now in place today, a 234-room hotel, With nleetmg facilil1es and dilllng
space.
Charles Clark, on behalf of Dubhn Continuum, LLC., has submitted a request tu initiate a General Plan
and West Dublin BART Specific Plan Amendment Study for the proJect site. The Applicant proposes to
change the use of the sIte Irom the existing Radisson Hotel to senior housing consisting of independent
hvmg, aSSIsted hvmg, and an Alzhelmer/demenl1a facility, as well as possibly maintaining the existing
COlllmulllty meetmg space and puhlic restaurant (Attachment 3).
West Dublin BART Specific Plan
The West Dublin BART Specific Plan, adopted by the City Council on December II.), 2000, contains a
development program that ontlincs the maximum development potential for the various land uses in the
plan area. The Specific Plan allows lor a maximum of 396 hotel rooms and 541 residential units within
the plan area (Allachment4).
All of the hotel rooms are antIcIpated to he developed on two siles which inclnde 6680 Regional Street
teXIstmg Radisson Hotel), and 6600 Golden Gate Dnve (I\.ttachment5). The City Conneil has approved a
Stage 1 Development Plan for a limited service hotel at 6600 Golden Gate Dnve; however, the Apphcant
still must process a Stage 2 Development Plan and Site Development Review, and obtam Buildmg
Permits in order to eonstmet the facility Table I provides a breakdown of the existing and proposed
hotel rooms in the Speei fie Plan area.

Transient Occupancy Tax
The City of Dublin collects a Trans,,)nt Occupancy Tax (TOT) on all hotel rooms within the City The
TOT equals 8% of the nightly room rate and IS General Fund revenue for the City. The proposed rense of
the Radisson Hotel as senior housing would not be subject to the TOT and would thus ehmlllate a source
of General Fund Revenue for the City
Page 2 of 4
Hotel and Meeting Rooms
The existing Radisson Hotcl currently provides meeting space to Dublin busll1esses and residents. The
Apphcant has lI1dleated that they will "attempt" to mall1tam this meeting space along with the dining
facilities for public use (Attachment 3). As previously stated, the City Council has approved a Slage 1
Devclopment Plan that includes a I 50-room, limited service hotel at 6600 Golden Gate Dnve. As
currently proposed, this limited service hotcl docs not include regional meeting space.
ANALYSIS:
The existing General Plan land use designation for the project site is Retail/Office, which permits a range
of office and retail uses, lIlcluding hotels and ancillary uses such as restaurants and meeting space. The
existing West Dublin BART Specific Plan land use designation IS Lodgmg, which also permJ/s hotels and
ancillary uses (Attachments Sand 6). In order to allow the proposed senior housing and possibly a
restaurant and meeting space on Ihe site, an amendment to the General Plan and West Dublin BART
Specific Plan IS reqLLJred that would contain the following components:
General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation Irom Retail/Office to either High
Density Resldenllal or Mixed Use if the proJect meludes public meeting and dining facilities,
2. Specific Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Lodgmg to either Resldenl1al or
Mixed Use if the project includes meeting and dining facilities.
City policy requires that the City CounCil approve the 1Illhalion of any General Plan and/or Specific Plan
Amendment Study pnor to Staff accephng a development apphcation that would include a General Plan
and Specific Plan Amendment for a project.
CONCLUSION:
If the City Council authonzes a General Plan and West Duhlin BART Specific Plan Amendment Study
for the property located at 6680 Regional Street, Staff will:
" Examllle the proposed land uses and densihes to detenmne if they are appropriate based on City
policies and standards.
);> Evaluate the impact of eliminating 234 hotel rooms and meeting facilities from the West Dublin
BART Specific Plan area.
" Study the land use plan, clTculahon routes, and the interrelationship and compatibility of the proposed
combination of uses.
" Study the Impact on parkland.
);> Study the fiscal impacts of the proposal, including the loss of the TranSient Occupancy Tax and the
cost of providing City services to the proposed use.
The City Council is only considering the initiation of a General Plan and West Dublin BART SpecIfic
Plan Amendment study at this time, Initiating or not initiating a General Plan Amendment Study IS
totally wltlun the discretion of the City Council. If the City Conncil initiates the General Plan and
Specific Plan Amendment Study, the project will come before the Plannmg CommissIOn and the City
Council for a General Plan and Speclfic Plan Amendment, PD - Planned Development Rezone with Stage
I and Stage 2 Development Plan and other entitlements as needed.
At t11is point, the City Council needs to detennine whether a General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment
Study should be authorized for the Applicant's proposaL Both denial and approval resoluhons have heen
included for City Council consideration (Attachments 1 and 2).

Ms. leri Ram, Community Development Director
City of Dublin - 100 Civic Plaza
Dublin CA 94568
re: Request for Study, Adaptive Reuse of existing Radisson Hotel
for Senior Housing Continuum, 6680 Regional Street
Dear Ms. Ram:
We are hereby requesting a change in use of the Subject Property, from Hotel
to Housing and Care for Senior Citizens. Because of the anticipated new BART
Station to the East of this site, and the increasing elder population, we believe that
this proposal would result in a much more efficient use of the site.
The majority of the buildings would remain in their existing fonn, with a minimal
addition of a Cafe to serve the North Wing, as shown on the enclosed drawings.
This proposal would convert transient housing to more permanent residents, who
would be more involved in City programs. This conversion would require minor
changes to the existing facilities. We would attempt to maintain existing community
meeting spaces and open dining spaces to the public.
We understand that this reuse requires amendments to the General and Specific
Plans, as well as existing Zoning. Please forward this request to the Mayor and
members of the City Council for their review.
