AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 1990
SUBJECT: Initiation of General Plan Amendment
REPORT PREPARED BY: j3P Dennis Carrington, Senior Planner
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Exhibit A: November 1 , 1990 letter from JL
Construction
RECOMMENDATION: 1 . Receive the Staff Report.
1/2 . Review description of proposed change
! to the Dublin General Plan.
3 . Initiate General Plan Amendment.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The General Plan Amendment would be paid for
by JL Construction.
DESCRIPTION:
The JL Construction Company is requesting that the City Council
initiate an amendment to the Housing Element of the General Plan to
allow fees to be paid in lieu of a requirement by Housing Element
Policy IIIE which reads as follows: "Require a percentage of units in
large multi-family projects (i .e. , projects with more than 10 units)
be rented for a specified period of time" . Under the terms of
approval for their planned development rezone, JL Construction is
required to maintain 21 of its multifamily units as rental units for a
period of five years. If the plan were amended to allow payment of an
in-lieu fee, the fee could be based on the subsidy a "Low income"
family of five persons would have needed in order to rent a three
bedroom unit for five years. Currently this procedure would yield
$231 , 380 . 10 for 21 dwelling units that would otherwise be set aside as
rentals. The in-lieu fee could be applied to rental subsidy programs
through the Dublin Housing Authority or to other housing programs.
It is recommended that the City Council initiate this general
plan amendment to allow in-lieu fees to be paid as requested by JL
Construction.

Re: Dublin Meadows - Initiation of General Plan
Amendment
Dear Mr. Carrington:
I am writing to you to express my desire to initiate a
General Plan Amendment, which will amend the Housing
Element of the General Plan to allow for the payment of
in lieu fees instead of complying with the requirement
that 10% of a project ' s units be set aside to maintain
the rental stock within the City of Dublin.
The formula for determining the amount of the in lieu
fees to be paid is as follows: the economic cost for
setting aside a three-bedroom unit for five years, at the
"low income" rate (80% of the Alameda County median
income) is to be multiplied by the number of units
required to be set aside. That figure is then subject to
a determination of future value, based upon a rental
increase of 4% per year.
I have enclosed a completed application and check in the
amount of $100 for the purposes of initiating the General
Plan Amendment. It is my understanding that this request
will be heard before the City Council, Tuesday, November
13 , 1990.
If you have any questions, or require further
information, please do not hesitate to call me.
Very truly yours,
JL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
