The Alameda County Santa Rita Jail facility, located immediately north, east and west of the project, was completed in 1989. The California Highway Patrol facility to the south was completed in 1990. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Government Code Section 65402(b) provides that a county shall not dispose of property or construct a public building or structure within the corporate limits of a city if that city has adopted a general plan and such general plan is applicable thereto until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition or disposition of the public building or structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the city's planning agency as to the conformity with the city's general plan. The annexation agreement between the County of Alameda, the Surplus Property Authority of Alameda County and the City of Dublin regarding transfer of property tax revenues upon annexation, provision of services and other matters was approved by the Dublin City Council on May 10, 1993. The agreement states that any development or use of county governmental properties shall be reviewed by the Dublin Planning Commission for conformity with the City's general plan in accordance with Government Code Section 65402. Site Development Review is not required for any uses of the County sheriff property as long as the use is within the perimeter of the existing County jail property or other existing Sheriff Department facilities. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The County of Alameda, as the lead agency for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, prepared a Negative Declaration pursuant to the CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the County of Alameda Environmental Guidelines. The County has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. ANALYSIS: The County of Alameda is proposing to construct an approximate 25,000 square foot, single story building for accommodating the Alameda County Sheriff's Department Office of Emergency Services. The building will be located on the Alameda County Santa Rita Jail site, immediately south of the jail's perimeter fence (see Attachment 2). The building will serve multiple uses related to the County's Emergency Services function in the event of a disaster and/or civil unrest. The Emergency Operating Center portion of the building will contain offices for each of the County and/or volunteer agencies that direct operations in an emergency. The Multi -Purpose portion of the facility will serve as a -2- PAGEOF!--- !� meeting and/or staging center, sleeping and dining facility for emergency staff, or relief services for such agencies as the General Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), etc. In compliance with Section 65402(b) of the Government Code and the annexation agreement between the City, Alameda County and the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, the County of Alameda requested the City of Dublin to report on the project's conformity with the Dublin General Plan. The general plan land use designation for the project site is Public Lands. Because the project will be located within the perimeter of the Santa Rita Jail property and serve as a county government emergency services facility, the project development and use is in conformance with the Dublin General Plan. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make a finding that the County's proposed construction of the Alameda County Sheriff's Department Office of Emergency Services building on the Santa Rita Jail site is in conformance with the Dublin General Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: FORMAT: 1) Hear the Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public. 4) Deliberate. 5) Take action regarding conformity of the proposed construction of the Alameda County Sheriff's Department Office of Emergency Services with the Dublin General Plan.

Building Function and Use This building will have multiple functional uses, all of which are related to the County's Emergency Services function in the event of a situation of disastrous proportions and/or civil unrest. The Office of Emergency Services portion will be manned five days a week and serves as the coordination and planning function for Emergency services response. The Emergency Operating Center portion of the building contains offices for each of the County and/or volunteer agencies that direct operations in an emergency. This space will have extensive data gathering capability, resource information data and sophisticated audio-visual and communication systems for disaster response and coordination. The Multi -Purpose portion of the facility can be one large space or converted to two smaller spaces, with an adjacent food service capability. This portion of the building can serve as a meeting and/or staging center, sleeping and dining facility for emergency staff, or a relief services center for such agencies as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), etc. Project Location The project will be located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Madigan Road and Broder Boulevard. The building will be situated on the Alameda County Jail site, immediately south of the perimeter fence.' RECEIVED MAR 31 1994 At� QH$t!N PLANNING Mr. Dennis'Carrington March 29, 1994 Page Two This location is within "Sheriff's Property" on Agreement, Exhibit C. the perimeter of lands designated as the Alameda County Dublin Annexation As we discussed in our telephone conversation, said property is exempt from the terms and conditions of the Annexation Agreement with respect to City of Dublin jurisdiction. For that reason, this office did not include the City of Dublin in the design process. Building Description The building is an approximately 25,000 square foot, one-story facility. It has a steel frame structure on a concrete slab on grade and pier and grade beam foundation with exterior cladding materials including glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), aluminum composition panels and profiled metal wall panels. The interior finishes will include gypsum wallboard, architectural woodwork, ceramic tile, terrazzo and other standard office building interior finishes. The building will have an extensive electrical system, including a stand alone emergency power capability. Owing to the diverse uses of three major sectors of the building, the mechanical systems will include three separate heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units, which will allow minimal environmental control when any one sector is not in use. In addition, the building will be equipped with extensive audio-visual and communication systems, along with extensive data processing capability. Enclosed, for your reference, please find a copy of the Jail Site Plan and Exhibit C from the Annexation Agreement. If my office may be of additional assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call. Very truly yours, .

This classification includes all retail/office uses and adds auto dealerships, auto body shops, and similar uses. Residential uses are not permitted. Business Park/Industrial (FAR: .30 to .40; employee density: 360-490 square feet per employee). Uses are non -retail businesses (research, limited manufacturing and distribution activities, and administrative offices) that do not involve heavy trucking or generate nuisances due to emissions, noise, or open uses. Residential uses are not permitted. Maximum attainable ratios of floor area to site area (FAR) are controlled by parking and landscaping requirements and typically result in .35 to .40 FAR's. Examples: Clark Avenue, Sierra Court. Business Park/Industrial: Outdoor Storage (FAR: .25 to .40; employee density: 360-490 square feet per employee). In addition to the Business Park/Industrial uses described above, this classification includes retail and manufacturing activities conducted outdoors such as mobile home or construction materials storage. Example: Scarlett Court. Public/Semi-Public (FAR: .50; employee density: 590 square feet per employee) Uses other than parks owned by a public agency that are of sufficient size to warrant differentiation from adjoining uses are labeled. Development of housing on a site designated on the General Plan as semi-public shall be considered consistent with the General Plan. Determination as to whether housing should be permitted on a specific semi-public site and the acceptable density and design will be through review of a Planned Unit Development proposal under the Zoning Ordinance. Examples: Public and private schools, churches, Civic Center. Parks/Public Recreation. Publicly owned parks and recreation facilities. Open Space. Included are areas dedicated as open space on subdivision maps, slopes greater than 30 percent, stream protection corridors, woodlands, and grazing lands.
