hotel development, the Committee discussed the merits of creating a hotel incentives program
offering a “rebate” of hotel taxes generated to help stimulate development.
ACTION: The Committee provided feedback on features of the proposed incentive program,
favoring language for 4-star hotels and high-quality finishes, and requested that Staff bring a
refined version of the program back to the Committee for consideration at the October 10
Committee meeting.
7. Key Projects Update
Staff provided an update on marketing and communication activities, including the introduction
of “Open City Hall,” a civic engagement tools which is tentatively scheduled to become available
to the public in September. Staff is preparing a list of upcoming discussion topics and will widely
promote the new engagement tool through social media, as well as at City events and and
through promotional postcards.
Efforts in Downtown Dublin were also discussed, and staff discussed the complicated
covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) connected with Downtown Dublin commercial
developments, particularly in the Retail District. Many of the CC&Rs were in place prior to the
City’s incorporation and are now impacting development in the area. Multiple methods of
addressing the CC&Rs were mentioned, including contracting with an outside firm to negotiate
revised CC&Rs, and developing incentives that would appeal to existing property owners. Staff
noted that the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan allows for up to 400 units of residential
development in the Retail District: 60 of the units have been allocated, with an additional 35
units reserved but not yet allocated.
ACTION: The Committee requested that Staff provide a presentation, reviewing the options for
addressing current CC&Rs in Downtown Dublin, at a future Committee meeting. Additionally,
the Committee recommended that Staff create an Opportunity Sites map for potential residential
development in Downtown Dublin.
8. Update on Regional Organizations
Staff provided a verbal report on recent and upcoming activities associated with regional
economic development groups. Highlights included the ICSC Western Conference in San Diego
August 30 – September 1, where staff will represent the City; the Innovation Tri-Valley
Dreammakers and Risktakers Awards at the Shannon Center on September 22; the East Bay
EDA Fall Membership Meeting at the Shannon Center on September 29 (the Mayor has been
asked to make welcoming remarks); and the Tri-Valley Commerce Con (small business expo
held in partnership with the cities of Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Danville, and their
respective Chambers of Commerce) on October 4 to be held at the Shannon Community
Center.
ACTION: None.
9. Request for Future Agenda Items
None.
ACTION: None.
10. Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at
1:27 PM.
Minutes prepared by Erin Steffen, Management Analyst II.
