WHEREAS, the California Constitution authorizes local governments to recover the
reasonable costs of providing services; and

addressing the State’s housing shortage and high housing costs; and
WHEREAS, SB 35 provides a streamlined ministerial approval process for multi-family
residential developments in cities and counties that have made insufficient progress towards
meeting their assigned Regional Housing Needs Allocation, subject to meeting certain eligibility

WHEREAS, in response, the City of Dublin prepared the proposed Citywide Multi-Family
