Pilot Health Clinics Presentation 7:05:53 PM 3.2 560-60 Fire Chief Sheldon Gilbert presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would receive a presentation on Alameda County's plans to develop pilot health care clinics in local fire stations. Vm. Hart asked for an update on the transition with the new ambulance provider for the Alameda County Fire Department, Paramedics Plus; ongoing collaboration efforts with both Oakland Fire Department and Fremont Fire Department; and costs associated with modification of fire stations to accommodate the proposed clinics. Fire Chief Gilbert stated that the target date for the ambulance provider is November 1, 2011. The fire department is working closely with Paramedics Plus to ensure a smooth transition. Collaboration with Hayward, Fremont and Oakland Fire Departments is occurring with the formation of an oversight committee with labor, management and the healthcare community and he was optimistic of the outcome. Cm. Swalwell asked for an in-depth explanation of cost structure to implement this program and continue to fund for the next three years. Chief Gilbert clarified that ongoing costs for the pilot program would be estimated at $3.5 million secured through Measure A funds, and through the Healthcare Services Agency, but the long DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 2 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT term goal would be to implement a fee structure to support the ongoing costs of operating the clinics and through the acceptance of donations. Initial startup fees for facility transformation of approximately $400,000 to $700,000 but in the long term may offer a billing potential to generate revenue.

Kristi Bascom, Principal Planner, presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a Site Development Review Permit fora 4,456 square foot addition to an existing 23,994 square foot building at 6958 Sierra DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 4 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Court. The Proposed Project was determined to be inconsistent with the General Plan in that the addition will cause the building to exceed the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) established by the General Plan Business Park/Industrial land use category. Mayor Sbranti asked for clarification of the similar land use category in eastern Dublin, with a maximum of FAR at .50 as opposed to the area in question in western Dublin, with the maximum FAR at .40. Ms. Bascom responded that in eastern Dublin, under the industrial park category, the FAR is .35. However, under the General Plan industrial park category, warehousing uses only, can have a maximum FAR of .50, which would be determined on a case by case basis at the discretion of the City Council. On Sierra Court, the General Plan allows for various uses, i.e., warehousing, research and development, distribution, and manufacturing. Dublin resident and commercial real estate broker, Dan Watson, stated that he wanted to speak in support of the applicant in that business owners are finding it extremely difficult to manage in these tough economic times, let alone expand within their budget. Mr. Watson asked that he would like to see companies grow as easy as possible. All American Label representative Guy Houston stated that the 1985 General Plan was descriptive regarding FAR and not mandatory in nature, and stated that to this day, the General Plan had not been changed. Mr. Houston stated, if the City Council chose to agree with the Staff report, that would designate the 17 business on Sierra Court that exceeded .40 FAR, as a non-conforming status. He also stated that this status would affect their use, their property value, salability, and financing capabilities. Legal .Counsel for All American Label, Peter McDonald, referred to the 1992 City Council discussion regarding the General Plan FAR and questioned whether the .40 maximum was ever established as mandatory. Cm Hildenbrand asked for clarification of the 17 businesses which were noted on the Sierra Court map. She asked how many had expanded the FAR beyond the .40 maximum since 1992. Ms. Bascom stated that, per the County records, all of those businesses were built prior to the City's incorporation in 1982. City Attorney John Bakker stated that, at the time of incorporation, the City would have most likely carried forward various standards that the County already had in place, then as time went on the City adopted its own General Plan standards. This would have impacted existing businesses, and created a legal non-conforming status on businesses that exceeded the maximum FAR. In 1992 standards were most likely established due to State law requirements of density requirements. Mr. Bakker stated that their status would not affect their operations, but would impact expansion of their business. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 5 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Vm. Hart asked Mr. Bakker if the 1992 General Plan Amendment changed the FAR standards. Mr. Bakker stated that the intention was clarified to set the density range standard for each land use as noted in the technical revisions that were made a FAR standard was added to each of the commercial uses. An Unnamed speaker stated that City Council should view this entire issue in comparison to FAR standards established in east Dublin as accommodating to businesses as opposed to viewing it as the older area in Dublin with the current FAR restrictions. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. Cm. Swalwell asked, if City Council were to reject the Planning Commission recommendation, would the direction be to set and reject the FAR, and wanted to be clear on what a rejection would entail. Mr. Bakker stated that one option the City Council had would be to have Staff prepare a General Plan Amendment to revise the wording in the current plan to increase the FAR beyond the established range. Mayor Sbranti stated that a review of Sierra Court in its entirety and on a broader scale was important in order to avoid having expansion issues in the future. Vm. Hart asked, from a Planner's perspective, what impact would there be if the FAR was expanded to a maximum range of .50. Ms. Bascom stated the implication would be overall conformance and compromise the very reason FAR standards are established, which are to set a range of intensity in any given area. She further stated that, if the property in question was used to set a guideline, there would be no standard for any other business in the future. City Manager Pattillo stated that there have been no further requests than that of All American Label Company, and if exceptions are made to the General Plan., then there was a process established to do so. She further clarified that to date, this has not been an issue with any other business, and compromising FAR has to do with multiple elements such as landscapirig in the community and traffic circulation. Vm. Hart asked if this item was specific to the applicant or of the 17 businesses referred to as non-conforming in the area of Sierra Court. Mr. Bakker stated this issue was technically about the applicant, but if the General Plan was interpreted as the applicant has requested, then implications would be throughout the area. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 6 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Cm. Swalwell proposed that City Council reject the Planning Commission's action and direct Staff to bring back a General Plan Amendment to increase the FAR at the Sierra Court area for the businesses located there, to provide the ability for all businesses to grow and expand. Cm. Biddle concurred that it was a good time to review the General Plan and have Staff bring back an amendment to accommodate the businesses. Vm. Hart stated his support for Staff to bring back a General Plan amendment to accommodate businesses. Mayor Sbranti stated that he felt there was sufficient record to show that the City Council of 1992 did not intend to create non-conformance for businesses when they adopted the General Plan Amendment as well as ambiguity in the language where the FAR range is descriptive as opposed to mandatory. Cm. Hildenbrand stated that she did not agree with how the rules were broken in this situation; however, she did not want to limit the existing businesses to expand if needed. Mayor Sbranti asked Mr. Bakker if it was decided to do a moratorium how could this be spelled out to move forward on this issue. Mr. Bakker stated that the moratorium concept could be that the City Council would adopt the resolution denying a site development review, maintain the FAR cap at .40, and provide time to research a possible General Plan Amendment, with the key difference that the City Council would not need to deny the appeal. On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Cm Hildenbrand and by 3-2 vote, the City Council directed to continue the appeal to the 1St meeting in November, and at that time bring forward an adoption of a moratorium and direct Staff to prepare a General Plan Amendment Study request on the FAR issue. City Manager Pattillo reiterated that the discussion on existing businesses which exceeded the .50 FAR and were legal non-conforming, would need to be addressed in the proposed General Plan Amendment Study. She further stated that a change for budget request would also be presented to outline the costs associated with the FAR and types of uses. This proposed study would be fully funded by the City, and not by an applicant as is usually done. Mayor Sbranti called for a break at 8:50 PM Mayor Sbranti called the meeting to order at 9:03 PM DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 7 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Zoning Ordinance Amendments to Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations), Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations) and Chapter 8.108 (Temporary Use Permit), PLPA-2011-00026 9:03:41 PM 6.2 (450-30) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Marnie Delgado, Senior Planner, presented the Staff Report and advised that the City was initiating amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to bring greater clarity and consistency to existing regulations. Amendments are proposed to: Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations) as it relates to Eating and Drinking Establishments as an accessory use to retail sales; to Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations) as it relates to tenant spaces with multiple functions and parking requirements for other Indoor Recreational Facilities not specifically listed in Section 8.76.080. D; to Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations) as it relates to flags, temporary promotional signs, and the regulation of signage in the Downtown Dublin Zoning District; and to Chapter 8.108 (Temporary Use Permit) as it relates to other temporary land uses not specifically defined and deviating from established development standards. Dublin resident Bruce Fiedler stated the amendments proposed regarding Sign Regulations were designed to benefit a few special interests at a cost to the wider community. Dublin landlord for Sierra Market, Brad Sanders, commented on Chapters 8.40 and 8.76, and stated that these amendments were directly the cause of prohibiting any seating to Sierra Market due to the lack of parking. Cm. Swalwell asked Staff to clarify Mr. Sanders comments regarding the ordinance amendments and their relation to the issue. Mr. Bakker stated that the issue Mr. Sanders was referring to was at what point an accessory restaurant component of a grocery store triggered a higher parking standard. Linda Smith, Economic Development Director, elaborated on Mr. Sanders core arguments about applying the additional parking spaces for the restaurant component and limiting his ability on additional space in his center to be leased at retail in the future. Other options have been explored with Mr. Sanders as well. Mayor Sbranti read comments submitted via fax by Sierra Market Owner, Mr. Sal Safi, "I am the owner of Sahara Market, this confusion in the code has cost us tremendous grief and loss of income. Section 8.40 will cause more confusion and will leave another gray area where the food preparation area in a market with seating area and food preparation will be hard to define." Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 8 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Mayor Sbranti asked Staff to explain how the 10% of seating and food preparation area was established. Ms. Waffle stated that this standard was taken from another standard in the accessory uses chapter. Mayor Sbranti asked Staff to elaborate on why food preparation needed to be included in the 10%. Ms. Waffle stated that food preparation is a necessary component of an eating and drinking establishment as it related to retail sales with the 10% threshold for intensity directly affecting the minimum required parking spaces. Mayor Sbranti asked for clarification on how this ordinance amendment would assist with the Sahara Market expansion plan. Ms. Waffle stated this item would assist by clarifying the off-street parking and loading regulations that requires distinction between a large and small tenant space for the purpose of determining parking requirements. She also stated that the Sahara Market management would be working on a restriping plan which would also assist with resolving their expansion plan. Mayor Sbranti asked what the implication might be if the City Council did not approve the Chapter 8.84 ordinance amendment. Ms. Waffle stated that any area outside planned development zoning district, or any shopping center that did not have a master sign program, would not be allowed to have signs. Cm. Hildenbrand commented on Chapter 8.84 and expressed that the sign regulations ordinance was consistently being compromised with these amendments, resulting in creating an lower aesthetic quality to the community. Mayor Sbranti stated that he believed there were more limits than additions to this ordinance amendment, and would like to take a pause and re-evaluate this amendment further before voting on this amendment. He suggested looking at this from a broader perspective. Vm. Hart suggested a group outside of the ad-hoc committee evaluate whether the proposed changes are of value to the City and provide recommendations. Cm. Biddle stated he would be willing to have input from a community group and postpone accepting amendment to the sign regulations. Cm. Swalwell was in agreement with postponing the amendment. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 9 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 t DRAFT City Manager Pattillo stated that the City Attorney will provide clarity on moving forward with the ordinance chapters, excluding Chapter 8.84. She clarified the direction provided regarding Chapter 8.84 which would be to have Staff bring back recommendations, whether to form a task force or one town hall meeting. This will also create a new initiative, adding additional workload and would ask the City Council to prioritize the current Economic Development initiatives. Cm. Hildenbrand stated that she did not feel the need to form a task force and add additional work. Mayor Sbranti stated that he did not want to re-prioritize Economic Development initiatives but gather feedback from community members to ensure that moving forward would be of benefit to the City. On motion of Vm. Hart, seconded by Cm Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote, the City Council INTRODUCE an Ordinance Amending Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations), Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), and Chapter 8.108 (Temporary Use Permit) of the Zoning Ordinance. Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations) would be deferred. ~v Dublin Heritage Park and Museums Facility Use Policy 10:16:22 PM 6.3 (295-10) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Paul McCreary, Assistant Parks and Community Services Director, presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider adopting the Heritage Park and Museums Facility Use Policy and Rental Fee Schedule, which would allow for community use and private rentals of the Kolb Sunday School Barn and St. Raymond Church. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. Vm. Hart stated that the pricing seemed to be a bit expensive and cautioned that fees wouldn't discourage the use of such a great facility. Cm. Hildenbrand commented that based on the history of the facility and the importance of preservation and protection of the buildings, the pricing seemed reasonable. Mayor Sbranti stated that the rates quoted were lower than the surrounding area and felt comfortable moving forward with the fee schedule as presented. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 10 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT On motion of Cm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Biddle and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 171 -11 ESTABLISHING A FACILITY USE POLICY AND RENTAL FEE SCHEDULE FOR USE OF THE KOLB SUNDAY SCHOOL BARN AND ST. RAYMOND CHURCH AT THE DUBLIN HERITAGE PARK AND MUSEUMS -Cr UNFINISHED BUSINESS Adoption of Amended and Restated Ex Pane Contacts Policy 10:28:47 PM 7.1 (610-20) City Attorney John Bakker presented the Staff Report and advised that Ex parte contacts are communications of information relevant to aquasi-judicial governmental decision to a decision maker outside of the formal quasi-judicial proceeding. On December 20, 2005, the City Council adopted a policy prohibiting City Council members and Planning Commissioners, among others, from the intentionally making or receiving ex parte contacts related to quasi-judicial proceedings such as site development review approvals, conditional use permits, and variances. The policy did not apply to quasi-legislative decisions such as general plan amendments and zoning ordinance amendments. At the April 5, 2011 City Council meeting, Councilmember Swalwell requested that the policy be placed on a future Council agenda that would allow the policy to be reviewed. At the September 6, 2011 City Council meeting, the City Council directed the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the policy that would permit the members of the City Council to make or receive ex parte contacts except when a matter is actually scheduled to be heard by the City Council itself. Staff had prepared a resolution that would permit contacts unless and until the City Council is notified that it would be sitting as the quasi-judicial hearing body on a specific matter. Cm. Swalwell stated that he agreed to disclose all relevant information but felt it was unreasonable to have to reveal everything in a site visit conversation. Cm. Hildenbrand commented that this topic was discussed at the last meeting, and the idea was to prohibit a City Councilmember related to quasi-judicial proceedings. Mayor Sbranti stated he was in agreement with the resolution proposed. On motion of Cm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Mayor Sbranti and by unanimous vote, the City adopted RESOLUTION NO. 172-11 DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 11 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT AMENDING AND RESTATING THE POLICY REGARDING EX PARTE CONTACTS IN QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS NEW BUSINESS Valley Christian Center General Plan Amendment Study Initiation Request 10:39:01 PM 8.1 (420-30) Kristi Bascom, Principal Planner, presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider whether to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study to change the General Plan Land Use Designation fora 1.4 acre property at the northwest corner of Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive from Public/Semi-Public to Medium/High Density Residential. Bryan Tebbutt, Valley Christian Center representative stated that Valley Christian Center had a long tenured involvement with the community and had committed in 2010 to the City to provide over 2,500 hours of service to the City and had exceeded that amount. He stated that the change in land use would ultimately result in completing their sanctuary, which is under construction. Once the study is .complete, the Center would conduct neighborhood outreach to provide the project details. Richard Van De Boom, President of California Highlands Homeowners Association and California Highlands resident, stated, on behalf of the Association, their concern was the wildlife in the proposed site creek would be at risk without the environmental impact report conducted. He also stated that access into the proposed site would cause added traffic congestion as well as a parking issue with the proposed 1 to 25 units in the plan. Michelle Fontaine, California Highlands resident, urged the City Council to consider how this project would impact all of the residents that had purchased homes for the reason of seclusion and location with added traffic and parking issues of a high density residential project. Vm. Hart asked for Staff to comment on surplus land in the proposed area of study. Ms. Bascom stated that there was a sliver of Dublin Boulevard right of way that would need a surplus analysis to be conducted if it were to be included in the potential project that was owned by the City. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 12 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Vm. Hart asked for clarification of Mr. Van De Boom's comment related to the exclusion of an environmental impact report. Ms. Bascom stated that what Mr. Van De Boom was referring to is that CEQA would not apply to bring forward this request for study, but once the study is approved then all of the requisite environmental analysis would be conducted. Mayor Sbranti asked how many units were being proposed in this project. Mr. Tebbutt responded that 20 units would ultimately be proposed in the project. Mayor Sbranti stated his support for this study as the surrounding developments had moved forward and any issues that may have been a concern in 2003 had been resolved. Cm. Swalwell reiterated that this motion was approving a study and not approving the proposed rezoning. Vm. Hart stated his support for the study to move forward, but expressed concern over the issues brought forward by California Highlands regarding traffic and parking. Cm. Hildenbrand stated her support for the study to be able to make a more informed decision and expressed concerns for increased traffic issues that would be closely monitored. On motion of Cm. Biddle, seconded by Mayor Sbranti and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 173-11 APPROVING THE INITIATION OF A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY TO CHANGE THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FORA 1.4 ACRE PROPERTY AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD AND INSPIRATION DRIVE FROM PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC TO MEDIUM/HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LOCATED AT 7500 INSPIRATION DRIVE (APN 941-0022-005-00) v Parking Designation on Antone Way 11:12:03 PM 8.2 (820-80) DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 13 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 2011 DRAFT Jaimee Bourgeois, Transportation and Operations Manager, presented the Staff Report and advised that while on-street parking is allowed on Antone Way, there is insufficient width at the east end where there exists a center median. While vehicles had been known to park along this section, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times, it was recommended that, in the interest of public safety, "No Parking" zones be designated on the north and south sides of the street. On motion of Cm Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm Swalwell and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 174-11 APPROVING PARKING REGULATION ON ANYONE WAY Parks and Community Services Strategic Plan Annual Report 11:13 PM 8.3 (920-10) City Manager Joni Pattillo requested that the City Council consider moving item 8.3 Parks and Community Services Strategic Plan Annual Report to the next City Council meeting of October 18, 2011, due to time consideration.

(a subsidiary of Marcum, LLP) had scheduled their field work necessary to complete the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ending June 30, 2011. The City Council would consider the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee, comprised of two City Council Members, to review the audit process and final report with the Auditors. The Committee would also review recommendations for a new audit engagement which will begin with the financial reporting period ending June 30, 2012. On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote, the City Council confirmed the Mayor's appointment of Vice Mayor Kevin Hart and Councilmember Eric Swalwell as the 2011 Ad-Hoc Audit Review Committee that would serve for a limited time. The Committee will meet with the City Auditors to review and discuss the audit report for the period ending June 30, 2011.
