ORDINANCE NO. 14 – 24
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
AMENDING A PROVISION OF THE DUBLIN GENERAL PLAN THAT WAS ADDED
BY THE DUBLIN OPEN SPACE INITIATIVE OF 2014
The People of the City of Dublin do ordain as follows:
Section 1. The last paragraph of Section 2.8.8 of the Dublin General Plan (which
was added pursuant to the Dublin Open Space Initiative of 2014) is amended to read as
follows (material deleted from the General Plan is in strikeout type):
“Ten years after June 3, 2014, the City Council shall study commercial
development along the extension of Dublin Boulevard to North Canyons
Parkway up to 1,200 feet north of lnterstate Highway 580. The Council
should consider, among other matters, whether commercial development
is needed to fund the construction or maintenance of the extension, and if
water supply and wastewater service is assured for any development. The
Council may put a measure on the ballot to authorize development in the
designated area. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Dublin
Open Space Initiative of 2014 and this Section 2.8, the City shall not be
prevented from designating for commercial development, consistent with
what is permitted on the lands to the immediate west and within the City
limits, the portion of the property east of the Dublin Eastern Urban Limit Line
up to the Livermore city boundary and along the proposed extension of
Dublin Boulevard to North Canyons Parkway, up to 1,200 feet north of
lnterstate 580 (the “1,200 foot line”). Notwithstanding the geographic
limitations in the previous sentence, commercial development may be
approved in the portion north of the 1,200 foot line to the west of
Cottonwood Creek, so long as the total area of developed land does not
exceed 80 acres, thus ensuring that at least 100 acres of the property are
preserved as open space. The City Council in determining whether to give
such authorization shall be required to find that the proposed commercial
development would contribute substantially to the funding of the
construction and/or maintenance of the Dublin Boulevard extension, that at
least 100 acres of open space will be permanently protected, that the
portion of the right of way for Dublin Boulevard on the property was provided
by the property owner without cost to the City (either through
reimbursement for acquisition costs or dedication), and that water supply
and wastewater service is assured for any development. If such future
commercial development is authorized by the Council, the other provisions
of the Dublin Open Space Initiative of 2014 and this section 2.8 shall not
apply to it.
Section 2. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be considered as adopted upon
the date that the vote is declared by the City Council and shall go into effect ten days after
