Foss, Acting City Manager " SUBJECT: Amendments to the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program Prepared by Hazel L. Wetherford, Economic Development Analyst EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the March 4, 2014 meeting, the City Council asked Staff to bring back revisions to the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program. Specifically, the City Council asked that the set aside allocation to the Downtown Specific Plan Area be eliminated and to add the Dublin Town Center Priority Development Area to the list of eligible locations where an allocation of a higher percentage can be made based on user type. Staff has made the requested revisions and is seeking City Council consideration of the amendments to the Program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the City's Sewer Capacity Assistance Program and Establishing Criteria for Program Implementation. `Reviewed By Acting Assistant City Manager DESCRIPTION: On May 4, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 53 -10 approving a Letter Agreement with the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) for the Administration of Unused Sewer Capacity for the City of Dublin. Commonly referred to as the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program, the Program allows the City to market its excess sewer capacity as an economic development incentive program to help stimulate economic growth in the community. The Program is designed to support large and small businesses and encourage the recruitment, renovation or re -use of properties in Dublin. Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 7.1 On May 21, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution 67 -13 amending the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program by establishing criteria for the allocation of a higher percentage based on user type and location, and an allocation of 30 Dwelling Unit Equivalents (DUE) to the Downtown Specific Plan area. On March 4, 2014, the City Council reconsidered the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program criteria and provided direction to Staff on changes to the Program's criteria. Currently, the Program has a set aside allocation of DUE for the Downtown Specific Plan area, allows 25% allocation to non - restaurant or non - entertainment uses throughout the Downtown Specific Plan area, allows 25% allocation to restaurant, non - restaurant or non - entertainment uses throughout the City outside of the Downtown Specific Plan area and the Dublin Transit Center, and allows for a higher percentage of sewer capacity allocation based on user type and location (Attachment 1). The proposed changes to the Program's criteria are as follows- Program Revisions • Remove the set aside allocation of DUE in the Downtown Specific Plan area, making any unallocated DUE (currently 25.18) available citywide. • Include all Priority Development Areas (Downtown Dublin Specific Plan, Dublin Transit Center /Dublin Crossing, and Dublin Town Center) as areas that are eligible to receive a higher percentage of sewer capacity allocation based on user type and location as outlined in the below table. • For the purpose of this Program, changing the boundaries of the Dublin Transit Center to include parcels to the east of Arnold Drive, south of Dublin Boulevard, west of Hacienda Drive and north of 1 -580. • The table below replaces the table set forth in Resolution 67 -13, adopted on May 21, 2013 and illustrates the percentage of DUEs available to each location.

The panel was asked how to prioritize the execution of the Specific Plan,, The TAP process consisted of a day of site tours, stakeholder interviews, a panel discussion, and a presentation the following morning, The Downtown tlublln Specific Plan Area Is bounded generally by Village Parkway on ilia east, Arnador Valley Soulevard on the moth, San Ramon Road on time wrest, and interstate 580 on the south, The Specific Plan is an aggregate Olt all or a major portlon of lime oxisihmg plans: San Rarnon Road Specific: pian, Dublin olownlowa'n Plan, Downtown Core Spocille Ilan, West 00lln BART Specllic Plana and the Village Parkway Specific Plan, Collectively, those plans are zoned for ilia additional development of nearly S. million square leek of Pon -residential development, -140 dwelling units, and 160 hotel rooms. Since 20 00, 111 a majority of these plans were adopted, 26A,134 square feet of non•rosidential devolcpronl amd'b4 residentiat units have been constructed. In addition, ttty nmuiitf- family residential units have been entitled and 3019 of the units are currently;nunder construlction, This Specific Man foeuses on strengthening the development standards and designs gufdellnes and providing greater direction as to fulinra land uses, creating three distinct districts Ins the Pian — Transit- Grlented District, Retail District and VIlilage Parkway iDisirict, Most of tine attention has been directed to time Transit- Orlebted ttfstrlcit south of Dublin Boulevard, Specifically, Iranslt- o'rlenled developments are encouraged within walking distance of the recently opened Wes Dublin/Pleasanton Say area Rapid Trarnslt (BART) Station,. At present, tfomvnlowan Dublin largely luncilons as a regional retail area comprised of a number of large- fornmat "power centers"' Wilh ancillary smaller specialty retail sales and services.

Sovoral new projects are either under construction or have been aniitled in the Specific plan Area.. The most significant development is tine opening lot the 'i Well Dublin /Pleasanion BART Station. The station is located within the median of Interstate 580, vafth podieslrlan access north and south over both sections of the freeway.. By 2013, the project Is projected to accommodate 8,609 users per days.
