SUBJECT: Amendment to the City of Dublin 1985 General Plan to Incorporate Technical Revisions Cm. Burnham opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report. Ms. Brenda Gillarde presented the staff report to the Commission. She indicated that the technical revisions were undertaken to add information to the General Plan in conformance with the 1990 General Plan Guidelines. Most of the changes involve adding statutory references, additional policies implementing City programs, and policies previously adopted but not yet incorporated into the document. The proposed changes were shown in Attachment 1 of the staff report. Ms. Gillarde handed out several maps that had been reprinted for better quality. Ms. Gillarde stated that the Technical Appendices had to also be adopted into the General Plan. One change to note is that the Environmental Impact Report is not part of the Technical Appendices. That report is a separate document. The wording in the draft resolution will need to be changed to reflect this revision. Cm. North asked if any technical revisions in Chapter 5, Land Use, would affect the Western Dublin voters. Ms. Gillarde indicated that the technical revisions do not involve changes made that would affect the November votes. Mr. John Anderson asked if the General Plan had been publicly noticed. Ms. Gillarde indicated that this item was a public hearing and was published in the newspaper with an 1/8" page advertisement according to law. Mr. Anderson indicated he had not had a chance to read to changes that had been made to the General Plan and was concerned that the changes might have an impact on the city. Mr. Tong indicated that tonight's meeting was scheduled to allow for any public testimony. Cm. Barnes explained to Mr. Anderson that the technical revisions that have been made to the General Plan were basically clean up type revisions. For example, the current General Plan shows the school district as Murray School District. The name has now been changed to show Dublin Unified School District. These are the type of technical revisions that have been completed. Cm. North explained that additional language has been added to clarify several items within the General Plan. Mr. Anderson asked if there was anything within the document that would alter plans for the City of Dublin. He also asked if there would be a hearing before the City Council.

Barnes asked what the status was for the sidewalk sale items. Mr. Tong indicated that the City Council had given this item to the Business Task Force. This committee would be meeting tomorrow afternoon. Cm. Burnham had concerns with several vans being parked inside the Shamrock Shopping Center. The vans had business advertisements on them and seemed to be parked for a long time. Mr. Tong indicated that if the vehicle was used as part of the business, the sign ordinance allowed this type of advertisement. However, it the vehicle was left out just for advertising, then the Zoning Investigator could go out and request compliance. Cm. North referred to a van that was parked by Waynes Gun Shop. This van has not moved for some time. Mr. Tong indicated that the Zoning Investigator would look into the Commission's concerns.
