Hart pulled Item 4.6 (560-80) Ordinance Adding a New Chapter 5.94 (Social Host Ordinance) to the Dublin Municipal Code, and stated that he wanted to clarify that the ordinance language included the discussion points from the previous meeting. City Attorney John Bakker stated as he recalled, the discussion was about the recitals. The reason the recitals were only in the Urgency Ordinance was because they were to provide the justification for the urgency. They were not necessary in the regular ordinance. That was why the version of the ordinance before the City Council did not include the language from the Urgency Ordinance. On motion of Cm. Hart, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by unanimous vote, the City Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 08 - 09 ADDING CHAPTER 5.94 TO THE D UBLIN MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO UNDERAGE DRINKING Mayor Sbranti pulled Item 4.13 (600-30) Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Contract Extension, and asked what was the projected timeline of this specific plan. Acting Planning Manager Jeff Baker stated there would be a Study Session tomorrow and Staff would receive direction to move forward with preparing the plan. Staff anticipated having a draft land use plan ready in the fall. They would then proceed with the document and environmental review, for a completion date in Summer 2010. Mayor Sbranti asked for clarification on the project going from atwo- year project to a three year project. City Manager Pattillo stated the grant funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission was complex and took longer to complete the necessary paperwork. There had also been more community engagement. There would be several more opportunities for the public to comment on the specific plan. On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES i i VOLUME 28 G~~ or D°8~~ REGULAR MEETING 19,~C~~~~ June 2, 2009 ~~ '~ /~ Gc~r~u~'m RESOL UTION NO. 78 - 09 APPROVING ANAMENDMENT TO THE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITYOFDUBLINAND RBF CONSULTING/URBANDESIGNSTUDIO AND AUTHORIZING THE CITYMANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AMENDMENT WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS -None PUBLIC HEARINGS Amendment to the Planned Development (PD) District of the General Commercial Portion of Area C of Dublin Ranch for Fallon Gateway Commercial Center Submitted by Stanforth Holdings Company LLC - PA 08-034 8:19 p.m. 6.1 (450-30) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Assistant Planner Martha Aja and Planning Consultant Mike Porto presented the Staff Report and advised that the applicant was requesting approval of an amendment to the General Commercial portion of the Planned Development (PD) zoning for Area C to allow the construction of a portion of the Fallon Gateway shopping center. The project site was 33.91 net acres. The PD for Dublin Ranch Area C allowed up to 516,992 square feet of development on the project site, which would include retail, office and restaurant uses. The amended PD included architectural and landscape design criteria, specifically parking standards and the permitted, conditional and temporary uses for the entire project site. Cm. Biddle stated, in regard to Phase lA and the roads that bordered the project, currently Dublin Boulevard was not opened all the way to Fallon. It stopped at Lockhart, about a block away. Fallon Road was not complete. Was that going to be part of the first phase? Was it the responsibility of the developer? DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES i2 VOLUME 28 ~oF~ti REGULAR MEETING 19;~~~~~ June 2, 2009 ~\ '~' Ms. Aja stated yes. There was also a condition of approval that required all the street trees on Dublin Boulevard and Fallon Road be planted in the first phase as well. Cm. Hart asked, in regard to Condition No. 100, how was the 99-foot tall freestanding sign obscured by the overpass. Mr. Porto stated, in order to get the sign high enough to be viewed, it required the 99-foot height. The sign that would have been at IKEA would have been 99 feet high for the same reason. There would be a master sign program to deal with the remaining signage on the site. Cm. Hart asked if the sign would be an attractive sign. Mr. Porto stated one of the unique factors of the sign was the lighting element that would be a subtle pastel changeable, screened-back type element that would serve to identify the boundary of Dublin and the commercial elements that were there. As this element was used throughout the project, both on the major retail buildings, at the entrance elements, along the entrance drive and at the corner of Fallon and Dublin Boulevard, it tied the center together. Mayor Sbranti asked how this lighting was different from neon. Mr. Porto stated neon was a bright light. This was more subtle and pastel. The lumicite panels were opaque and the light would be somewhat shielded and reduced in intensity. The hue would be less garish. Vm. Hildenbrand asked if lumicite was similar to what was being used at the West Dublin BART station. Mr. Porto stated the panels that were at the BART station were more dense and more opaque. The glow would be more subtle and less intense than these proposed lights. Cm. Hart asked if Mr. Porto could describe the process of Police Department review on the project for security purposes. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES i3 VOLUME 28 ~ ~o REGULAR MEETING 19;~~ ~~ ~~ June 2, 2009 ~~~~~~ `1GQ"OR~ Mr. Porto stated the City asked departments to review the project and make suggestions. Because of the magnitude of the project, other departments were brought in early and were able to take time to review the project more thoroughly. Mayor Sbranti asked if a portion on the project map, marked "Not a Part," was a part of Phase IV. What would be the end use of that portion of the project? Mr. Porto stated the overall proposal, including all four phases, was approximately 380,000 square feet. Phase I, II, and III encapsulated 311,000 square feet. The remaining square footage was part of Phase IV as was the section marked "Not a Part." The reason Staff was asking the City Council to approve a PD amendment was to provide the guidelines for the development of this particular area so, in the future, that area would also look like the first three phases. Mayor Sbranti stated that he preferred all portions of the project be consistent and cohesive. Mr. Porto stated this was the reason for this item. The City Council discussed the timing of sidewalks and bike paths for the project. There would not be store frontage in Phase I of the project, so there would not be sidewalks. The City Council preferred consideration of sidewalks early in the project. City Manager Pattillo pointed out Item No. 4 on Page 137 of the Staff Report, stated, "Pedestrian Access shall be provide from Fallon Road and/or Dublin Boulevard for each phase of Fallon Gateway to the satisfaction of the City Engineer." Mr. Bakker stated that those were SDR conditions. The City Council could give direction, with the Developer's concurrence, to have an item placed in the Development Agreement to ensure that the sidewalks were completed. Ms. Aja stated that Condition No. 14 on Page 138 also addressed the issue. Mayor Sbranti stated the City Council had provided direction and would let Staff work on the details of the project. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES is VOLUME 28 or REGULAR MEETING m~~~iir~ ~~ June 2, 2009 ~\`~'~~ 4GI R~ Mr. Porto stated the Conditions of Approval stated that the developer would have to complete the improvements along the frontage of the project, including including curb and gutter, which would be the ultimate width for both Dublin Boulevard and Fallon Road, which included a bikeway on both streets. They had not required the developer to improve the Kaiser frontage. There were a few improvements needed to complete Dublin Boulevard. This developer would complete these improvements. The only thing that would not be there was the sidewalk on the Kaiser frontage. Cm. Biddle asked if there were bike connections across the overpass. Director of Public Works Melissa Morton state there were not plans at this time for bike connections across the interchange. Incorporated in the Bikeways Master Plan was a provision to try and study the City's interchanges to find interfaces. Dave Chadbourne, representative of Stanforth Holdings, stated he was available to answer any questions, if needed. Cm. Biddle asked what was the height of the towers on the buildings. Mr. Chadbourne stated the height of the towers was 30-35 feet. Mayor Sbranti asked what was the timeline of the phases. Mr. Chadbourne stated the phases were a projection of how the project might proceed. There needed to be an anchor tenant, and the phases would be contingent on that. Phase II would be built as the same time as Phase IA. Mayor Sbranti asked what differentiated the retail at this project from Grafton Station or the Promenade. Mr. Chadbourne stated this was more of a shopping center. It was a different dynamic. This had highway-related commercial. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. On motion of Vm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Hart and by unanimous vote, the City Council waived the reading and introduced an Ordinance Approving an Amendment to DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES is VOLUME 28 ~~ OF Dp~ REGULAR MEETING i~~~~e2 June 2, 2009 ~~ '~ ~~ R~,m the Planned Development District of Dublin Ranch Area C, specifically for the project known as Fallon Gateway Commercial Center located at the Southwest Corner of Dublin Boulevard and Fallon Road in Area C of Dublin Ranch (APN: 985-0027-009-03), PA 08- 34.

The meeting reconvened with all Councilmembers present at 9:12 p.m. Draft 2009-2014 Housing Element 9:12 p.m. 6.2 (430-20) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Senior Planner Marnie Waffle presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would review the draft 2009-2014 Housing Element in preparation of submitting the document to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for review. Veronica Tam, Housing Element Consultant, provided an overview of the key issues being addressed in the housing element, how the City would achieve the regional housing needs allocation and the housing programs proposed in the draft housing element. Cm. Scholz asked for more detail on the modification to Policy D.2 addressing childcare, in the draft Housing Element. Ms. Waffle stated the Planning Commission had added modified one of the policies to add childcare seeking parents to the policy. However, it alluded to the fact that the City wanted to create a new housing needs population when, in fact, the intent was to address the need for childcare within the community. Staff was suggesting a modification to the DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES i6 VOLUME 28 ~oe~,~ REGULAR MEETING ni~ ~ ~~ June 2, 2009 1\\\~'~~'~/// 1GIFOR~ language to include childcare as a supportive service to housing as opposed to creating a new housing needs population. Cm. Hart asked how the City addressed the needs of the homeless under the proposed policy. Ms. Tam stated the requirement was now that every local jurisdiction must find a zoning district where emergency shelters were permitted by right. The jurisdiction did not have to build a homeless shelter, but allow one to be established. They called around to homeless providers and those providers stated there were very few homeless. in Dublin and did not see a need to provide an emergency shelter in Dublin. The City did have to provide a zone where one could be established by right. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing.

Biddle and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION N0.79 - 09 DIRECTING STAFF TO SUBMIT THE DRAFT 2009-2014 HOUSING ELEMENT TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR REVIEW WITH A MODIFICATION TO POLICY D.2 ADDRESSING CHILD CARE with Staff s modification to the Child Care policy.
