The attached document was received in the City Clerk's office after distribution of the September 20, 2011 City Council meeting agenda packet. 09-20-11 8.3 ' r ~ ~ ~ i I Dear Dublin City Councilmembers, . - - unfortunately; due to a prior engagement, Iwill-not be able to attend the council. meeting toniglit.to share my perspective on the proposal to rezone of;the public/semi-public land near DeVany _ Square. As an almost six. year resident of the Villas at Dublin Ranch I am very concerned about this: proposal for several reasons. The first area of concern that I have is what this rezone will mean.for the future of the y y p k at the meeting, The _ Promenade. As I am sure ou will hear form"man 'of the residents whnwills ee .Promenade was a huge selling point for.all of the residents that live•in the many condo subdivisions in • Dublin Ranch and it would be a huge injustice to the people who have committed to this'area to see it . fall by the;wayside. I realize that the economy is bad and it is difficult to create vibrant retail centers, when many companies are not able to get the capital needed to go forward., However, once more high density condos have been .added to the Brea there will be no turning beck, Tfie Promenade is the closest . thing that the city of Dublin will ever have to a true main street, and I would hate to see that dream fade away:. i, - My second concern as a resident of the Villas is what the rezone will mean to the already horrendous parking situation in this area. It is sad to say; but there are times.that my fear of finding a parking space has actually prevented me for going to some evening events. If.my husband and I are. going to an event together on the weekends ;,we have to meet at home and take one car so that we don't have to worry about parking when we get home (even though sometimes it would be far more convenient to meet up at the event). There have been several times when it has taken me over an hour to find a parking space. at night (all I can do is drive around the Villas and the Cottages and hope that. someone: leaves). I fear that adding more high density housing to this area~will only exacerbate and ' ` already' awful situation... ~ - . _ - , , _ Finally, this proposed rezone has the potential to wreak havoc orran~already saturated condo. .market. The area that is being proposed for a rezone is smack deki in the center of.an already dense and struggling market. There is an over. saturation of condos at the worst possible time. It seems like I see new for sale signs at the Villas every few weeks and I `know that this is happening in the other developments_as well.. These condos for sale, as well as the new developments at Sorrento are more than enough. There is no need for more high density housing and in fact an increase of this type_will be devastating to the already tanking home values in the area. ~ . Tim and I are very upset with the negative attacks being made against individual _ Counc~lmembers, City employees, Mr. Tong, and City .Hall in general. In fact, Tim will address that tonight when he gives his comments. However,. please keep in mind that~the concerns are legitimate both in terms of the impacts on the average resident in the neighborhood'and the overall vision of • Dublin. Please imagine what it would feel like to live in that neighborhood and deal with the,current conditions that I described, still holding out hope for the Promenade, only to learn that instead more residents are being added to an already constrained area end that space for commercial is being taken away. It is a very`depressing situation. l know that it is fairly common to do studies, but some projects _ . simply are not worth studying: This issue has already been divisive and I am fearful that with so many upset residents that both this and other issues in Dublin will become even more divisive if a potential - study were to move forward. I see absolutely, no positive outcomes of rezonirg the land for more high density housing • .(whether it is designated. as high or medium high, it is still too much): As a resident, I personally would rather see that land sit empty for the next ten years with the possibility of a great project that would - benefit the residents of both Dublin Ranch and the City, rather than see it used to create more condos, which benefits no one and will actually hurt those of us living in the area. I know first=hand how difficult -your job is and how much all of you care about doing the right thing for both individual neighborhoods and the overall community. This rezoning proposal unfortunately hurts both. I humbly askforyour support in rejecting this proposal. ~ . Thank yo'u for your consideration of my comments as you make a decision on this very important-issue that could have profound implications on both my neighborhood and the entire .City for many years„to come.

For ten years, new East Dublin residents in the tens of thousands have been told that the Promenade would be an upscale shopping destination to rival San Jose's Santana Row.

Dear City Councilmember: - I do not support the request by KB Home and Charter Properties to convert half of the retail space at the Promenade to high-density condos. If approved, this land use conversion will be a classic "bait and switch" scheme made possible by Dublin City Hall. For ten years, new East Dublin residents in the tens of thousands have been.told that the Promenade would bean upscale shopping destination to rival San Jose's Santana Row. Now that everyone has already bought or rented homes in and around Dublin Ranch Villages based on that promise, the City of Dublin is trying to shoehorn more condos into an area already saturated with high-density housing. The prospect of more high-density condos instead of the upscale shopping center promised to residents could not have come at a worse time. Property values have cratered over the past few years. Scrapping the Promenade in favor of additional high-density condos beyond the 1,400 units already built as part of the Dublin .Ranch Villages will further reduce the value of my home. Even worse, the loss of a shopping & dining district within easy walking distance of thousands of residents will seriously degrade the quality of life that all of us were seeking when we purchased in the Dublin Ranch Villages. It also Completely contradicts Dublin's vision of creating "mixed-use walkable villages" within the city and instead condemns Dublin Ranch Villages to be just. another high-density residential neighborhood,almostentlrely dependent on cars, and yet with seriously insufficient parking for those cars. East Dublin schools are already overcrowded. The Dublin Unified School District will likely use the impact fees generated by the new homes to pay off funds borrowed to build Kolb Elementary School instead of creating additional long-term capacity for new students. As a result, students in the already oversubscribed schools in East Dublin could be diverted to a school in West Dublin. Residents living in the Villas and Cottages at Dublin Ranch Villages are so desperate for parking that they have. been parking on the dirt patch KB Home wants to rezone for more condos. Will there be enough parking once more residents move into the new KB Home condos? Dublin is a wonderful city to live in, and I trust that you will do what is right for the community. Please maintain along-term vision for Dublin instead of falling prey to short-sighted planning based on temporary economic conditions. Please vote against the request by KB Home and Charter Properties to initiate a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment Study to evaluate changing half of the Promenade to a Medium/High-Density Residential land use area. I urge you to stop KB Home and Charter Properties from ruining our dream of the Promenade that has been promised for a decade. .Sincerely, Zorigvdang Li . 4 -1 ~ il 1 Dora Ramirez . From: _ .
