Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adOpted ORDINANCE NO. 8 - 89 REPEALING A LIMITED PARKING ZONE ON GOLDEN GATE DRIVE ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLAN COMMISSION - APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE City Manager Ambrose advised that the Alameda County Transportation Plan Commission has requested that participating agencies select an alternate member. Councilmember Jeffery is the City's appointed member on this Commission which is comprised of representatives from the County, Cities, transit operators, MTC and CalTrans. Councilmember Snyder currently is a member of the Commission representing the Livermore-Amador Valley Transit Authority. Cm. Jeffery suggested that Cm. V°nheeder would be appropriate as she already serves as an alternate for LAVTA. Following discussion, on motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council appointed Cm. Vonheeder to serve as alternate on this Commission. CASTRO VALLEY - POTENTIAL SPHERE OF INFLUENCE Planning Director Tong advised that the Alameda County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has scheduled a meeting to discuss a potential Castro Valley Sphere of Influence which may affect potential development in the West Dublin Study Area. Mr. Tong advised that Staff understands that, should Castro Valley be granted a Sphere of Influence, the LAFC0 Staff would recommend that Castro Valley's Sphere of Influence abut Dublin's Sphere of Influence. Such an action would raise the issue of the Eden Canyon Road connection between Hollis Canyon Road and 1-580 being within Castro Valley's sphere of Influence and ultimately under Castro Valley's land use jurisdiction. Staff anticipates that improvements will be necessary at the 1-580/Eden Canyon Road interchange for potential development in the West Dublin Study Area. If Dublin has land use jurisdiction of the area, the City could enter into freeway agreements with CalTrans to allow the needed improvements. If Dublin does not have land use jurisdiction, it may be difficult to secure the freeway agreements to allow the needed improve- ments. Cm. Jeffery questioned why it was necessary for LAFCO to set the sphere of influence line so much beyond their border. @%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@ CM-8-1 63 Regular Meeting May 8, 1989 Mr. Tong advised that he understands that there is a Castro Valley Fire Protection District which includes all or a portion of Eden Canyon Road, but this is not confirmed. Cm. Jeffery felt that by setting a line now, it might not be where it should be. Since they are not Yet a city and since Dublin is looking at doing something in this area, she felt we should work toward keeping this under Dublin's control. Cm. Jeffery made a motion which was seconded by Cm. Hegarty to support the idea of Dublin's sphere of influence going through the Eden Canyon interchange area. City Manager AmbrOse questioned what portion of the interchange they wanted included and he suggested the half north of 1-580. Cm. Vonheeder questioned who has the interchange now. Mr. Tong pointed out on a large map, the key portion and stated that the Eden Canyon Road interchange is not currently in anyone's sphere of influence. Cm. Snyder indicated that incorporation lines would be co-terminus with the sphere lines and felt that what the Council needs to do is ask LAFCO not to include the intersection in Castro Valley's sphere of influence. This whole issue is a very lengthy process. Cm. Jeffery agreed to amend her motion, and Cm. Hegarty agreed to amend his second to the motion. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to forward a letter asking that LAFCO not include the Eden Canyon Road interchange in Castro Valley's sphere of influence. Zev Kahn, Harlan Road, stated that the Staff Report discussed the impact of not being able to improve.the interchange if it is not under Dublin's sphere. Mr. Tong advised that Staff' was looking at this more in terms of land use jurisdiction. Dublin could enter into agreements with CalTrans if it were under our sphere. Financing issues would have to be discussed somewhere later down the line. Mr. Kahn questioned whether both cities would receive more money if they both owned portions of the interchange. Mr. Tong stated it was premature to discuss this. Elliot Healy, Betlen Drive, expressed concern that access points to Dublin lands can be made only from this site and possibly Dublin Boulevard. @%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@ CM-8-1 64 Regular Meeting May 8, 1989 Mayor Moffatt felt this issue was not what was being discussed at this time. Mr. Tong advised that we really have not yet developed an overall plan for access. Our current General Plan shows two arrows out to the west. A conceptual plan has not been developed. Cm. Hegarty felt it was important that someone attend the LAFCO hearing, not just send a letter. Mr. Tong advised that a Staff member will need to attend the meeting. Cm. Snyder advised that Dublin will have two voting members on the LAFCO Board for the Thursday, May 11th meeting. WEST DUBLIN STUDIES CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENTS & AMENDMENT TO STUDY AREA Planning Director Tong advised that on December 12, 1988, the City Council authorized the West Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Studies, defined the study area boundaries, authorized hiring a Contract Planner and directed Staff to prepare a consultant contract and other associated documents for City Council action. Staff has worked with the project applicants, Eden Development GroUp and Schaefer Heights, Inc., to identify a qualified planning consultant and to prepare the appropriate proposal. The project applicants have agreed to have Eden Development Group act as the Lead Project Applicant. A draft proposal and agreement to prepare the General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan and EIR for the West Dublin project has been prePared by Staff and the consultant firm of WPM Planning Team, Inc. A multi- disciplinary team of 10 consultants under WPM's direction has been proposed to work with the'project applicants and the community in a collaborative manner to prepare a consensus plan. The proposal has an anticipated work schedule covering approximately 24 months, with a not- to-exceed total cost of $559,032. A draft agreement was prepared with a contract planner, Brenda A. Gillarde, to serve as Project Manager to coordinate the processing of the West Dublin studies. Mr. Tong advised that after the Council defined the study area boundaries, the project applicants requested an amendment to the study area bOundaries to reduce the study area by removing several parcels located at the northern end of Eden Canyon Road and including the 1-580/ Eden Canyon Road interchange and 1-580/Schaefer Ranch Road interchange areas. This amendment would reduce the size of the study area from the current 4000 ~ acres to approximately 3400 ~ acres. Staff displayed a large scale map which illustrated the requested amendment to the study area. @%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@ CM-8-1 65 Regular Meeting May 8, 1989 Mike McKissick with Eden Development Group stated they have worked with Staff for several months to bring this to fruition. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council authorized the City Manager to sign agreement with WPM Planning Team, Inc., after project applicants have committed funds needed to cover cost; authorized the City Manager to sign agreement with Brenda A. Gillarde; and agreed to the amended study area as requested. OTHER BUSINESS Livermore School Superintendent Cm. Jeffery advised that Leo Croce, Livermore School Superintendent is retiring and requested that the Council consider directing Staff to prepare a proclamation. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous Vote, the Council directed Staff to prepare a proclamation for this occasion.
