SU B.ECT : Annual Progress Report on the Status of the General Plan and Housing
Element for Calendar Year 2023
Prepared by: Gaspare Annibale, Associate Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
State planning law (Government Code Section 65400) requires local jurisdictions to provide an
Annual Progress Report (APR) on implementation of the General Plan Housing Element as well as
General Plan activities each year to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This Staff Report,
including Attachment 1 (Housing Element APR Tables), serves as the City of Dublin's APR for
calendar year 2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the Annual Progress Report and direct Staff to forward it to the Governor's Office of
Planning and Research and California Department of Housing and Community Development.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
This Staff Report is organized into the following sections: a) Background; b) Status of General Plan
Activities; c) Progress Towards Meeting City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA); and d)
Status of Housing Element Actions and Programs.
Background
Each local government in California is required to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan
for the physical development of the jurisdiction. The City Council adopted the General Plan in
1985 and has periodically adopted amendments.

The Dublin General Plan groups the seven State -mandated elements and five optional elements into
the following five sections:
1) Land Use and Circulation:
■ Land Use Element (State -mandated)
■ Parks and Open Space Element (State -mandated)
■ Schools, Public Lands and Utilities Element (Optional)
■ Circulation and Scenic Highways Element (State -mandated)
2) Housing:
■ Housing Element (State -mandated)
3) Environmental Resources Management:
■ Conservation Element (State -mandated)
■ Seismic Safety and Safety Element (State -mandated)
■ Noise Element (State -mandated)
■ Water Resources Element (Optional)
■ Energy Conservation Element (Optional)
4) Community Design and Sustainability:
■ Community Design and Sustainability Element (Optional)
5) Economic Development:
■ Economic Development Element (Optional)
A certified Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements of the General Plan. Housing
Element law, enacted in 1969, mandates local governments to update their Housing Element every
eight years to demonstrate how they have adequately planned to meet the existing and projected
housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The community's housing need is
determined through the RHNA process. On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted an
updated Housing Element for the 2023-2031 planning period. On January 19, 2024, the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified the City's 2023-2031
Housing Element.
Local governments are required to provide an annual report to their legislative body, OPR and
HCD on the status of General Plan implementation as well as progress made toward meeting its
RHNA (Government Code Section 65400(a) (2)). This staff report, including Attachment 1
(Housing Element APR Tables), serves as the City of Dublin's APR for calendar year 2023, starting
the 2023-2031 Housing Element cycle.
Status of General Plan Activities
This section of the report focuses on General Plan Amendments approved from January 1 to
December 31, 2023. Under Government Code Section 65358(b), no mandatory element of the
General Plan may be amended more than four times per year, although each amendment may
include more than one change to the General Plan. The following General Plan Amendment was
Page 2 of 11

approved in 2023:
• Downtown Dublin Preferred Vision Implementation General Plan and Downtown Dublin
Specific Plan Amendments. On December 19, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
134-23 approving amendments to the General Plan and Downtown Dublin Specific Plan to
further implement the Downtown Dublin Preferred Vision. The amendments added
Research and Development as a new land use, increased the residential allocation by 465
units, decreased the non-residential allocation by 300,000 square feet, increased the
building height and floor area ratio in "The Core" area of the Retail District, and changed
setbacks.
Progress Towards Meeting City's RHNA
The State of California periodically provides population growth and housing need estimates to
each regional Council of Government. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), which is
the regional Council of Government in the Bay Area, is then charged with distributing, based on
projected local job and household growth, the regional housing need to counties and cities within
the ABAG region. Each local jurisdiction's need is further categorized by income category. The goal
of the RHNA process is to ensure that local General Plans can accommodate projected future
household growth for all income levels in each jurisdiction. Housing production across all income
levels is needed to address the State's existing challenges regarding housing supply and
affordability.
Table 1 identifies the City's RHNA for the 2023-2031 planning period. The City's Housing Element
is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the City's RHNA at the various income levels
through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development and housing
production.

Total Housing Production
Most notably in 2023, the City approved Planning entitlements for the Branaugh and Francis
Ranch (East Ranch) projects. The Branaugh project will subdivide a 40.16-acre site into four
parcels to accommodate up to 97 residential units and approximately 527,773 square feet of
industrial development. The Francis Ranch project will include 555 market rate units, 18
moderate -income deed -restricted units, and 50 low-income deed -restricted accessory dwelling
units (ADUs). Additionally, the City issued building permits for 386 new dwelling units in 2023,
including permits for 377 units at the Boulevard project and permits for nine ADUs.
Affordable Housing Production
In 2023, the City issued certificates of occupancy for 22 moderate -income units at the Ashton at
Dublin Station project.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Production
Accessory dwelling unit production can only count towards the affordable categories if the
affordability can be demonstrated through either a deed restriction guaranteeing affordable rents,
documentation of proposed rental rates, or through a survey of rental rates of comparable units.
In 2023, the City issued building permits for nine ADUs and certificates of occupancy for two
ADUs, none of which were deed restricted.
The City continued its efforts to incentivize and streamline the construction of ADUs in 2023, with
eight ADU prototype plans available to the public, including five ADUs designed to be either
attached or detached, and three plans for converting a garage to an ADU. The plans include
studios, one- and two -bedrooms ranging in size from 224-909 square feet. The City also has an
ADU Manual available to guide applicants through the process of constructing an ADU. The ADU
plans and Manual are available to the public on the City's ADU website.
Progress in Implementing Housing Element Programs
The 2023-2031 Housing Element identifies 43 housing programs. Table D in Attachment 1 lists in
detail the various programs implementing the Housing Element goals and policies with their
current statuses using the format required by OPR and HCD. A summary of notable
accomplishments in 2023 toward implementation of Housing Element programs is provided
below.

• Program B.11 Transitional and Supportive Housing. Support and, when possible, fund local
and regional efforts to address the housing needs of persons experiencing homelessness.
Status: In 2023, Dublin designated its allocation of Homeless Housing, Assistance and
Prevention (HHAP) program funding to Tri-Valley Haven and City -Serve of the Tri-Valley.
Over $37,000 was allocated towards shuttle replacement and rental assistance.
• Program B.16: Publicly -Owned Lands. Coordinate with Alameda County Surplus Property
Authority to develop 715 units. In coordination with the Alameda County Surplus Property
Authority, identify a tentative schedule of actions for development of the property. In
conjunction with Program C.1, complete the rezonings by January 31, 2026. Conduct
outreach to developers (including, but not limited to, one-on-one meetings, workshops, and
written communication) to provide information on development opportunities on publicly -
owned lands, incentives, and available assistance. Establish and promote incentives and
resources available for the development of publicly -owned land that may include fee
waivers, priority processing, and financial assistance.
Status: The City is coordinating with the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority to
identify a tentative schedule of actions for housing development on two publicly -owned
properties at the Transit Center (Sites D2 and E-2). In addition, the City is working on
establishing and promoting incentives and resources available for the development of
publicly -owned land.
In November 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 133-22 approving
amendments to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to change the allowed
land uses on Sites D-2 and E-2 from Campus Office to Campus Office/High-Density
Residential and increase the maximum residential density from 1,800 units to 2,515 units.
In December 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 16-22 rezoning Sites D-2 and E-
2 to accommodate these units. Furthermore, in December 2023, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 119-23 amending the effective date of City Council Resolution 133-22.
The City will partner with the County to issue an RFP by January 31, 2025, subject to
market conditions. The City will also conduct outreach to the development community and
promote incentives until an application is submitted and offer assistance throughout the
development process once an application is received.
The City will review progress for development of Site D-2 and E-2. If development activity
has not substantially progressed or conditions are known that would prevent development
from occurring in the planning period, additional actions will be identified by the City to
further encourage development and maintain adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA.
The additional actions may include but are not limited to: additional incentives, further
outreach to potential developers, negotiations with the landowner(s), rezonings, and/or
other strategies.
• Program C.1: Sites Inventory and RHNA Monitoring. Ensure the sites identified in the Sites
Inventory are developed at densities appropriate for fulfilling the City's RHNA and identify
Page 7 of 11

additional sites as necessary if development does not occur as projected. Complete the
rezoning strategies.
Status: The City has identified unit capacity based on pipeline projects, projected ADU
development, and existing zoning to accommodate the moderate income and above -
moderate -income units. To meet the remaining RHNA for very -low- and low-income units,
the City has completed the following rezoning strategies:
o In November 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 133-22 approving
amendments to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to change the
allowed land uses on Sites D-2 and E-2 in the Transit Center from Campus Office to
Campus Office/High-Density Residential and increase the maximum residential
density from 1,800 units to 2,515 units. In December 2022, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 16-22 rezoning Sites D-2 and E-2 to accommodate these units.
Furthermore, in December 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 119-23

amendments to the Seismic and Safety Element to address flood and fire hazards. During
the Housing Element Update, the City prepared an Environmental Justice Memo, which
concluded that Dublin does not have any communities meeting the definition of a
disadvantaged community under SB 1000. Therefore, the inclusion of an Environmental
Justice Element or environmental justice policies in other required General Plan Elements
is not required.
• Program D.6: Parking Requirements Near Public Transit. Amend the Zoning Ordinance to
comply with the requirements established by AB 2097.
Status: In 2023, the Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of
amendments to the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) to eliminate parking
requirements in the Downtown (Resolution No. 23-10). The amendments comply with the
requirements established by AB 2097 and extend the elimination of parking requirements
beyond the state -required one -half -mile radius of the BART station to include all properties

within the Specific Plan area. In January 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 03-
24 approving the DDSP Amendments.
• Program E.1: Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. Facilitate the development of 160 ADUs
through additional objectives listed in Program B.7 - particularly in lower -density zones as
an additional method of addressing "missing middle" housing. As noted in Program B.7, the
City has already established permit -ready plans, created an ADU Manual and webpage, and
is waiving certain permitting fees. The City will also be implementing a public awareness
campaign as a way to promote ADU development and address missing middle.
Status: In 2023, the City issued building permits for nine ADUs and certificates of
occupancy for two ADUs, approved planning entitlements for 50 low-income deed -
restricted ADUs and received an application for a Site Development Review Permit and
Vesting Tentative Tract Maps for The "The DC" project, which proposes 105 ADUs, of which
50 will be low-income deed -restricted, 50 will be moderate -income deed -restricted and
five would be above -moderate -income. The City is working on ways to increase public
awareness of ADUs and the benefits of utilizing the City's prototype plans.
• Program E.1: Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. Provide development opportunities for at
least 350 affordable units including missing middle housing, ADUs and other residential
product types.
Status: In 2023, the City approved the following projects which provide opportunities for
affordable housing units:
Project Name
Number of Affordable Units
Branaugh (97 units total) Three low-income deed -restricted units
and four moderate -income deed -restricted
units
Francis Ranch (East Ranch) (623 units 18 moderate -income units and 50 low -

• Program E.7: First -Time Homebuyer Loan Program. Promote the First -Time Homebuyer
Loan Program (FTHLP) on the City's website and at the public counter. Provide FTHLP
loans to households earning up to 120 percent AMI. Review the FTHLP for opportunities to
broaden the use of the program and to ensure compatibility with similar loan programs
offered by the County and the State.
Status: In 2023, the City issued four first-time homebuyer loans to moderate income
households. Information regarding the City's FTHLP is available at the Civic Center and
through local housing service organizations. The City also provides information on the
FTHLP on the City's website. Additionally, the City website provides information on other
homebuyer assistance programs, such as the City's below market rate (BMR)
homeownership program, Mortgage Credit Certificates (administered for the City of Dublin
by Alameda County), and California Housing Finance Agency (Ca1HFA) loan programs.
• Program E.8: Homeless Assistance. Support and, when possible, fund local and regional
efforts that seek to address and lessen homelessness.
Status: The City continues to provide financial support to several local organizations that
provide services and assistance to homeless people through the Community Support
