RESOLUTION NO. 26 01
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
APPROVING THE GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY REVIEW FOR A 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
(APNS 941-2781-009-03, 941-2781-007-03, AND 941-2781-014-01)
WHEREAS, 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); and
WHEREAS, the park is located at 7601 Shady Creek Road west of Dougherty Road between Willow
Creek Drive and Wildwood Road; and
WHEREAS,
a discrepancy between the property line and the existing fence along the eastern bank of Alamo Creek;
and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, 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 General Plan; and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, proposed transfer of property interest to Zone 7 is consistent with
regulatory enforcement.
Reso. No. 26-01, Item 5.1, Adopted 02/24/2026 Page 2 of 2
the existing use and maintenance responsibilities for the creek corridor and supports the General
Plan policies related to flood management, public safety, and coordinated infrastructure management.
WHEREAS, by facilitating coordinated public management of the stream corridor, the proposed
transfer to Zone 7, which will continue to be used as a stream corridor, is consistent with both the Guiding
and Implementing policies of the Dublin General Plan Conservation Element and Dublin General Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section
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; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report, dated February 24, 2026, and incorporated herein by reference,
concludes that the proposed City of Dublin property interest transfer to Zone 7 is consistent with the
Dublin General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made part
of this Resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Dublin hereby finds that
the proposed City of Dublin property interest transfer to Zone 7 for a portion of land along Alamo Creek
within Alamo Creek Park is in conformity within the Dublin General Plan and satisfies the requirements of
Government Code section 65402(a).
