DATE: September 1, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
2026 Development Agreement Review
Prepared by: Amy Million, Community Development Director, and
Anastasia Nelson, Administrative Aide
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a report on the annual review of active development agreements
to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of the agreements pursuant to the
California Government Code, Sections 65864-65869.5 and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin
Municipal Code.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Finding that Developers Having Obligations Under Active Development
Agreements and Supplemental Agreements as Amended, Have Complied in Good Faith With
the Terms and Provisions of the Agreements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impacts of these projects were addressed as part of a fiscal analysis performed for
each approved project. All financial obligations of the subject developers have been met
pursuant to the terms provided in their respective development agreements.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
An annual review of active development agreements is required by California Government
Code Sections 65864-65869.5 and Chapter 8.56 of the Dublin Municipal Code. During the
review period, occurring in July and August of each year, Staff reviews each active
development agreement to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of the agreement.
The burden of demonstrating good faith compliance is on the respective developer and/or
property owner. Staff from the Finance, Community Development, Fire Prevention, Parks and
24
Page 2 of 2
Community Services, and Public Works departments completed a thorough and detailed
assessment of the developer’s compliance with the requirements contained in the applicable
agreements.
Following the review, Staff presents the findings and recommends to the City Council to either:
(1) determine that the parties are in compliance and conclude the review; or (2) determine that
the parties have not complied in good faith, in which case the City Council must request that
the matter of compliance be considered at a noticed public hearing. At said public hearing, the
City Council may modify or terminate the development agreement upon making certain
findings based on substantial evidence that the developer has not complied in good faith with
the agreement.
Analysis
The following active development agreements, identified in Table 1 below, were subject to the
2026 annual review. Based on Staff’s review, all required public improvements, payments, and
scheduled financial obligations have been satisfied by each of the developers and property
owners. Staff concluded that each of the developers/property owners is proceeding in good
faith with the terms of their development agreement and is therefore recommending that the
report be accepted by the City Council and the annual review be concluded.
