SUBJECT:
Government Code Section 65402(a) General Plan Conformity Review –
Proposed City of Dublin Property Interest Transfer to Alameda County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Zone 7) for a Portion of
Land Along Alamo Creek within Alamo Creek Park
Prepared by: Gaspare Annibale, Senior Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Planning Commission will consider making a determination that the proposed City of
Dublin property interest transfer to the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District (Zone 7) for a portion of land along Alamo Creek, is in conformity within the General
Plan. California Government Code section 65402(a) requires the planning agency of the
jurisdiction in which said property is located must first make the finding that the disposition of
property is in conformance with the adopted General Plan of the local jurisdiction.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the General Plan Conformity Review for a Proposed City of
Dublin Property Interest Transfer to the Alameda County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District (Zone 7) for a Portion of Land Along Alamo Creek within Alamo Creek
Park.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
Alamo Creek Park includes two City-owned parcels located on either side of Alamo Creek
(Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 941-2781-009-03 and 941-2781-007-03). The parcel
containing Alamo Creek bisects the park and is owned by Alameda County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District (Zone 7) (APN 941-2781-014-01). Alamo Creek is part of the
regional drainage and flood control system. The park is located at 7601 Shady Creek Road
west of Dougherty Road between Willow Creek Drive and Wildwood Road (See Figure 1
below).

Page 2 of 4
Figure 1. Location Map
As part of the City’s Alamo Creek Fence Replacement Project, a land survey identified a
discrepancy between the property line and the existing fence along the eastern bank of Alamo
Creek. The survey showed that a narrow 5,855-square-foot strip of land (APN 941-2781-007-
03), owned by the City as part of Alamo Creek Park, lies on the creek side of the fence and
was previously thought to be part of Zone 7 property. Both the City and Zone 7 propose a
property line adjustment to align the property line with the existing fence by transferring the
narrow strip from City ownership to Zone 7 ownership.
Zone 7 serves as the Tri-Valley’s county flood control and water management agency with
authority to own, operate, and maintain flood control channels, stream corridors, and related
facilities within its service area, including Alamo Creek. Because the subject strip lies within the
active creek corridor and is functionally part of the flood control channel, transferring it to Zone
7 would place the land under the ownership of the agency responsible for maintaining channel
capacity, bank stabilization, vegetation management, and long-term flood protection. Since the
proposed transfer would constitute a disposition of public property, Government Code section
65402(a) requires the Planning Commission to make a finding that the proposed transfer is
consistent with the City’s General Plan.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE DUBLIN GENERAL PLAN:
The Dublin General Plan Land Use Map identifies the location of land uses and a circulation
system to serve those land uses at full build -out which is expected to occur in 2035. The
Alamo Creek Park has a General Plan land use designation of Parks/Public Recreation and
Alamo Creek is identified on the land use map as a Stream Corridor. Under subsection 1.8.1.5
Primary Planning Area, the Open Space land use designation includes stream protection
corridors.
10
Page 3 of 4
Furthermore, under Chapter 7 – Environmental Resources Management: Conservation
Element, subsection 7.2.1 includes the following Guiding and Implementing Policies for Stream
Corridors that require the following:
A. Guiding Policies
1. Protect riparian vegetation as a protective buffer for stream quality and for its value
as a habitat and aesthetic resource.
2. Promote access to stream corridors for passive recreational use and to allow stream
maintenance and improvements as necessary, while respecting the privacy of
owners of property abutting stream corridors.
B. Implementing Policies
1. Enforce Watercourse Ordinance 52-87 for developed areas of the city.
2. Require open stream corridors of adequate width to protect all riparian vegetation,
improve access, and prevent flooding caused by blockage of streams.
3. Require revegetation of creek banks with species characteristic of local riparian
vegetation, where construction requires creekbank alteration.
The City of Dublin’s proposed transfer of property interest to Zone 7 is consistent with the
General Plan’s goals for riparian protection, stream corridor access, flood management, and
regulatory enforcement. Aligning the property line with Zone 7’s operational boundary will
reflect the existing use and maintenance responsibilities for the creek corridor, thereby
supporting the General Plan policies concerning flood management, public safety, and
coordinated infrastructure management. Furthermore, facilitating coordinated public
management of the stream corridor furthers the goals of both the Guiding and Implementing
policies of the Dublin General Plan and the General Plan’s Conservation Element. Accordingly,
Staff concludes that the proposed transfer of the narrow strip of land to Zone 7, which will
continue to be used as a stream corridor, is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and
satisfies the requirements of Government Code section 65402(a).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(2),
the General Plan conformity determination does not constitute a “project” because it will not
result in any direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes to the environment.
The land will continue to function as a stream corridor, and no construction or alteration of the
site is proposed. Therefore, no further environmental review under CEQA is required.

TO: Planning Commission
SUBJECT:
Housing Element Implementation – Zoning Ordinance Amendments
(PLPA-004326-2026)
Prepared by: Kristie Wheeler, Special Projects Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Planning Commission will consider and make a recommendation to the City Council
regarding City-initiated amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to implement General Plan
Housing Element Program B.15 (Replacement Housing) and Program D.1 (Remove
Development Constraints). Amendments are proposed to add Dublin Municipal Code Chapter
8.51 (Replacement Housing Requirements) and modify the multi-family residential parking
requirements in Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading
Regulations). In addition, an amendment to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions)
and minor clean up items in Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and
Permitted Uses of Land) and Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance) are proposed. The Planning
Commission will also consider and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding an
exemption from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the Resolution recommending City Council
approval of amendments to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12
(Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading
Regulations) and Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance), and the addition of Chapter 8.51
(Replacement Housing Requirements).
DESCRIPTION:
Background
In November 2022, the City Council approved the draft General Plan 2023 -2031 Housing
Element and associated General Plan and Specific Plan amendments and rezonings. The draft
Housing Element was then submitted for review and certification to the State Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Housing Element was certified by HCD on
January 19, 2024, and includes a number of programs that are required to be implemented by
15
Page 2 of 6
the City.
Proposed Project
The City has initiated amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to provide timely and effective
implementation of the Housing Element. Amendments are proposed to add Dublin Municipal
Code (DMC) Chapter 8.51 (Replacement Housing Requirements) and modify Chapter 8.76
(Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations). The proposed amendments would implement
the following Housing Element programs:
B.15 (Replacement Housing). The City may have existing non-vacant sites included
within the Sites Inventory that may contain vacant or demolished residential units that
were occupied by lower-income households or households subject to affordability
requirements within the last five years. Adopt a formal replacement housing program to
ensure any units currently occupied by lower-income households, or households subject
to affordability requirements within the last five years, that are lost to new housing
development are replaced in compliance with the California Government Code.
D.1 (Remove Development Constraints). Review the Zoning Ordinance to identify
standards and requirements that may constrain the development of affordable housing.
Specifically, review requirements such as minimum unit size, setbacks, parking
requirements, and height restrictions, to ensure the standards do not impede
reasonable development.
Amend parking requirements for multi-family developments to remove distinctions
between for-sale and for-rent residential developments and to remove guest parking
requirements.
In addition, an amendment to DMC Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) and minor clean up items in
DMC Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land) and Chapter 8.116 (Zoning
Clearance) are proposed and explained in more detail in the analysis section below.
Analysis
The following is an analysis of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments by topic –
Replacement Housing, Remove Development Constraints, and Clean Up Items.
Replacement Housing
The Housing Element is required to identify sites by income category to meet the City’s
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The sites identified in the Housing Element
include non-vacant sites that may contain existing residential units that could be demolished as
a result of future housing development.
The California Legislature has adopted three laws – Density Bonus law, Housing Element law,
and the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (also known as SB 330) – to ensure that new housing
developments do not reduce the total number of existing residential units and do not reduce
16
Page 3 of 6
the number of units that provide housing to lower income households. In accordance with
these laws, a housing development must create at least as many residential units as would be
demolished. Projects must also replace units rented to lower income households with units
affordable to lower income households and, in some cases, provide relocation and other
benefits to lower income households who are displaced by the new construction.
Replacement housing requirements have applied to projects requesting a density bonus since
2015, and those requirements also apply to any site listed in the Housing Element. The
Housing Crisis Act of 2019 and amendments effective January 1, 2022, expanded that
requirement to any proposed housing development that proposes to demolish existing units.
The purpose of replacement housing requirements is to prevent the loss of housing units and
displacement of lower income households. State law does not allow local agencies to approve
new housing development that includes demolition of existing housing units unless the
proposed development complies with the applicable replacement housing requirements. Below
is an overview of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would implement
Housing Element Program B.15 and ensure compliance with state law.
DMC Chapter 8.51 (Replacement Housing Requirements)
An amendment is proposed to add a new chapter to the Zoning Ordinance that specifies that
housing demolition and new housing development projects must comply with the requirements
of state law governing replacement housing units.
Remove Development Constraints
Pursuant to Housing Element Program D.1, staff reviewed the Zoning Ordinance to identify
standards and requirements that may constrain affordable housing development. With the
exception of minimum parking requirements, staff concluded that the development standards
provide sufficient flexibility such that they do not present a constraint to the development of
affordable housing. The City’s Planned Development (PD) zoning district allows a developer to
request a rezoning and propose development standards, such as setbacks, lot coverage and
building height, tailored to the site and proposed project. In addition, state Density Bonus law
allows a developer to request waivers and reductions in development standards for an
affordable housing project even if a density bonus is not requested.
To identify an appropriate minimum parking requirement for multi-family developments, the
City hired W -Trans to prepare a Multi-Family Residential Parking Requirement Study. Based
on a comparison of the City’s minimum parking requirements for multi-family development with
nearby cities and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation Manual,
W-Trans concluded that the City’s parking requirements are comparable to some nearby cities
but the requirements for condominiums and smaller units are generally higher. W -Trans also
found that the City’s parking requirements exceeded ITE’s peak parking demand. To better
align the City’s multi-family parking requirements with peak parking demand associated with
the number of bedrooms per unit as well as the presence of senior and affordable housing, W -
Trans recommended the parking ratios found below.
DMC Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations)
17
Page 4 of 6
Amendments are proposed to DMC Chapter 8.76 to combine for-sale and for-rent residential
development in a new multi-family residential use type that includes both apartments and
condominiums; add affordable housing as a new residential use type; and modify the minimum
parking requirements for multi-family development, consistent with the recommendations
contained in the Multi-Family Residential Parking Requirement Study prepared by W -Trans.
The following table shows the City’s current parkin g requirements and proposed modifications
where underlined text is proposed to be added and text with a strikethrough is proposed to be
deleted:
RESIDENTIAL USE TYPES NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
Multi-family
Apartments/Condominiums
Studio/1 Bedroom 1 space covered or garaged per dwelling plus 1 parking
space for unreserved and guest parking.
1 Bedroom 1 covered or garaged per dwelling plus 1 parking space for
unreserved and guest parking.
2+ Bedrooms 2 spaces 1 covered or garaged per dwelling plus 1 parking
space for unreserved and guest parking.
Condominiums
Studio and 1 Bedroom 1 covered or garaged per dwelling plus 1 guest parking
space per dwelling which shall be marked as a guest
parking space
2 or more Bedrooms 2 covered or garaged per dwelling plus 1 guest parking
space per dwelling which shall be marked as a guest

Senior Citizen Apartments
Housing
0.75 spaces 1 covered or garaged per dwelling plus one
guest parking space for every three dwelling units.
Affordable Housing
Studio/1 Bedroom 0.5 spaces per dwelling
2+ Bedrooms 1.5 spaces per dwelling
An amendment to DMC Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) is also proposed to change “Senior Citizen
Apartments” to “Senior Housing” and update the definition to reflect that senior housing can
include rental or condominium units.
Clean Up Items
DMC Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land)
In February 2025, the City Council approved amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to
18
Page 5 of 6
implement several programs in the Housing Element. Included was Program B .12 (Single
Room Occupancy Units), which required staff to review the permitting procedures for single
room occupancy units (SROs) and remove potential constraints. As such, staff recommended
and the City Council approved a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to permit SROs in the C -2
(General Commercial) zoning district with a Zoning Clearance rather than a Conditional Use
Permit. However, when preparing the amendment to the land use table in DMC Chapter 8.12,
staff inadvertently used the notation P (Permitted) instead of ZC (Zoning Clearance).
Similarly, in July 2025, the City Council approved amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to
implement additional programs in the Housing Element. Included was Program E.4 (Low-
Barrier Navigation Centers), which required the City to adopt procedures and regulations for
Low-Barrier Navigation Centers, including a ministerial approval process. As such, staff
recommended and the City Council approved a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to permit Low-
Barrier Navigation Centers in the Downtown Dub lin zoning districts and Planned Development
(PD) zoning district, if the approved PD allows mixed-use or is a commercial PD permitting
multifamily uses with a Zoning Clearance. However, staff inadvertently neglected to include a
notation that the land use is permitted with a Zoning Clearance.
Amendments are proposed in DMC Chapter 8.12 to correct these two errors.
DMC Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance)
As part of the Zoning Ordinance Amendments noted above for SROs and Low-Barrier
Navigation Centers, amendments to DMC Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance) were included to
add the two use types to the list of uses requiring ministerial review and approval of a Zoning
Clearance. However, when preparing the amendments to DMC Chapter 8.116, staff added
SROs and Low-Barrier Navigations Centers to DMC Section 8.116.020 (Applications Requiring
a Zoning Clearance) but neglected to add the two use types to DMC Section 8.116.030
(Application), Section 8.116.040 (Approval) and Section 8.116.050 (Expiration of Zoning
Clearance).
Amendments are proposed in DMC Chapter 8.116 to correct these omissions.
A draft Planning Commission Resolution recommending City Council approval of the propose d
amendments is included as Attachment 1 with the draft Ordinance included as Attachment 2. A
redlined version of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments is included as Attachment 3,
where underlined text is proposed to be added and text with a strikethrough is proposed to be
deleted. The Multi-Family Residential Parking Requirement Study prepared by W -Trans is
included as Attachment 4.
Consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plans, and Zoning Ordinance
The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Dublin General Plan in
that the amendments are necessary to comply with state law and implement programs
identified in the Housing Element. Specifically, the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments
would implement Housing Element Programs B.15 (Replacement Housing) and D.1 (Remove
Development Constraints). In addition, the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments would
correct previous errors and omissions.

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.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was published in the East Bay Times and posted
at several locations throughout the City. Additionally, the Planning Commission Agenda was
posted.
