STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: September 17, 2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
2019 Development Agreement Review
Prepared by: Jeff Baker, Community Development Director and Anastasia
Nelson, Administrative Technician
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a report on the annual review of active Development
Agreements. Development Agreements are reviewed annually to ensure compliance
with the terms and provisions of the Agreements pursuant to the California Government
Code, Sections 65864 - 65869.5, and to Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Finding that Developers Having Obligations Under Active
Development Agreements and Supplemental Agreements as Amended, Have Complied
in Good Faith with the Terms and Provisions of the Agreements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impacts of these projects were addressed as part of a fiscal analysis
performed for each approved project. All financial obligations of the subject developers
have been met pursuant to the terms provided in their respective Development
Agreements.
DESCRIPTION:
An annual review of active Development Agreements is required by California
Government Code Section 65865.1 and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code.
During the review period, occurring in July and August of each year, Staff reviews each
active Development Agreement to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of
the agreement. The burden of demonstrating good faith compliance is on the respective
developer and/or property owner. Staff from Administrative Services, Community
Development, Fire Prevention, Parks and Community Services, and Public Works have
also completed a thorough and detailed assessment of the developer’s compliance with
the requirements contained in the applicable agreements.

Following the review, Staff presents the findings and recommends to the City Council to
either: (1) determine that the parties are in compliance and conclude the review; or, (2)
determine that the parties have not complied in good faith, in which case the City
Council must request that the matter of compliance be considered at a noticed public
hearing. At said public hearing, the City Council may modify or terminate the
Development Agreement upon making certain findings based on substantial evidence
that the developer has not complied in good faith with the Agreement.
The following active Development Agreements, identified in Table 1 below, we re subject
to the 2019 annual review. Based on Staff’s review, all required public improvements,
payments, and scheduled financial obligations have been satisfied by each of the
developers and property owners. Staff concluded that each of the developers/owners
are proceeding in good faith with the terms of their Development Agreement, and is
therefore recommending that the report be accepted by the City Council and the annual
review be concluded.
