DESCRIPTION:
The City has initiated amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that it complies with
state law and provides timely and effective implementation of the General Plan Housing
Element. Amendments are proposed to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions),
Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), Chapter 8.36 (Development
Regulations), Chapter 8.38 (Reasonable Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities),
Chapter 8.64 (Home Occupations Regulations), Chapter 8.68 (Inclusionary Zoning
Regulations), Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), Chapter 8.81 (SB 9
Unit Developments), Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review), Chapter 8.116 (Zoning

the addition of a new chapter, Chapter 8.49 (Low-Barrier Navigation Centers).
On June 17, 2025, the City Council waived the first reading and introduced the Ordinance

consider adopting the Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City of
Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The proposed Zoning
Ordinance Amendments are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment and are not
subject to CEQA review.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 3: Housing Inclusivity and Affordability.
Objective A: Implement the goals, policies, and programs in the 2023 -2031 Housing Element.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:

SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The City occasionally initiates amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code to clarify, add, or amend
certain provisions to ensure that it remains current with federal and state law, internally consistent,
simple to understand and implement, and relevant to changes occurring in the community.
B. Staff has initiated amendments to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12
(Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), Chapter 8.36 (Development Regulations), Chapter
8.38 (Reasonable Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities), Chapter 8.64 (Home
Occupations Regulations), Chapter 8.68 (Inclusionary Zoning Regulations), Chapter 8.76 (Off-
Street Parking and Loading Regulations), Chapter 8.81 (SB 9 Unit Developments), Chapter 8.104
(Site Development Review), Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance) and Chapter 8.132 (Notice and
Hearings). In addition, the proposed amendments include a new chapter, Chapter 8.49 (Low-
Barrier Navigation Centers). The proposed amendments (the “Project”) would implement recent
changes in state law and certain programs contained in the General Plan Housing Element.
C. The Project would implement Assembly Bill (AB) 626, Senate Bill (SB) 450, AB 2085 and AB 2904.
In addition, the Project would implement General Plan Housing Element Programs B.4:
Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, E.3: Reasonable Accommodations, E.4: Low-Barrier Navigation
Centers, and E.6: Farmworker and Employee Housing.
D. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 27, 2025, during which all
interested persons were heard, and adopted Resolution No. 25-02 recommending that the City
Council approve the Project.

Ord. No. XX-25, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2025 Page 2 of 13
G. Proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law.
H. The City Council did hear and consider all said reports, recommendation s, and testimony set forth
above and used its independent judgement to evaluate the Project.
SECTION 2: FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Dublin Municipal Code Section 8.120.050.B., the City Council hereby finds that the
Project is consistent with the General Plan in that the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments
are necessary to comply with state law and implement programs identified in the Housing Element.
Specifically, the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments would implement AB 626, SB 450, AB
2085 and AB2904 and Housing Element Programs B.4: Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, E.3:
Reasonable Accommodations, E.4: Low-Barrier Navigation Centers and E.6: Farmworker and
Employee Housing.
B. The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), together with the State Guidelines and City of
Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The City Council finds
that the Project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) as the Project would not result in any physical changes and it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the Project would have a significant effect on the
environment and is not subject to CEQA review.
