Burton absent), the Council took the following actions: Approved Minutes of Regular Meeting of September 9, 1991; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 93 - 91 AWARDING CONTRACT 91-06 ($61,890) ANNUAL STRIPING & MARKING CONTRACT TO CHRISP COMPANY (600-30) and authorized the Mayor to execute the agreement; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 94 - 91 ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE REPAIR OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS DEEMED TO BE PEDESTRIAN HAZARDS (600-30) and authorized Staff to advertise for bids; Authorized Cm.

Cm. Moffatt requested that the Bissell & Karn agreement be pulled from the Consent Calendar for discussion. It was his understanding that there were 3 oPtions presented and the Council should discuss the options. Mr. Rankin advised that Staff's recommendation was that Option 3 be selected. Mr. Thompson advised that if you do both projects separately, you have to do several things more than once. Staff felt there was a good cost savings to do the design of both projects at once. The actual construction would be done in 2 phases under 2 separate project contract. Cm. Moffatt indicated that he did not Understand this and thanked Staff for explaining it. ********************************************************************** CM - VOL 10 - 355 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 96 - 91 APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH BISSELL & KARN, INC., FOR DESIGN OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD BETWEEN HANSEN DRIVE AND SILVERGATE DRIVE (600-30) and authorized the transfer of $28,850 from unallocated reserves to this project. OAKLAND SCAVENGER COMPANY 199Z RATE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST (810-30) Assistant City Manager Rankin advised that OSC has submitted a request to the City for review of a 1992 rate application. The City jointly reviews applications with other agencies serviced by OSC. Due to a proposed change in the methodology, the actual amount of the increase cannot be determined until further analysis by the Joint Refuse Rate Review Committee. Mr. Rankin advised that the report presented is primarily for informational purposes. The JRRRC will primarily base their review upon projections of revenue and expenditures for each jurisdiction. In prior years, the total company operations were evaluated on a whole. Mr. Rankin advised that David MacDonald and Dan Borges were present to answer any questions the Council may have. Cm. Moffatt questioned the rates indicated in the letter from OSC to the JRRRC. He questioned if we were looking at about a 10%-13% increase every year for the next 3 years, or if this was cumulative. Mr. Rankin advised that it is premature to assume that these figures have any relevancy at this time. Costs will be reviewed on a jurisdictional basis. Also, we don't know what impact the Measure D decision will have. Mr. MacDonald stated he felt that Staff had made a fair presentation of where they are right now. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council directed Staff to forward the request to the Joint Refuse Rate Review Committee for further analysis. CM - VOL 10 - 356 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 PUBLIC HEARIN~ - CHEVRON CONDITIONAL USE PER~IT/SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (410-30) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Associate Planner Cirelli advised that PA 90-066 involves a request for CUP and SDR approval to construct and operate a new 24-hour service station, drive through car wash facility and food mart at 5933 Dougherty Road. They also request wall signage and one combined service station display and price sign structure. The Applicant requested a continuance in March, 1991, in order to resolve land use dedication issues. As a Condition of Approval for the project, the Applicant will be required to dedicate to the City right-of-way required for the ultimate improvements along Dougherty Road and Dublin Boulevard Extension on the project site. The amount of land required to be dedicated is 4,840 square feet. The Applicant has revised the site plan depicting the project site and related improvements before and after construction of the Dougherty Road widening and Dublin BOulevard Extension right-of-ways. Ms. Cirelli advised that the project would result in the installation of 12 self-service gasoline fueling positions. The food mart facility proposed to be 953 square feet in size, would accommodate the service station cashier and the sale of convenience items. The approximate 1,224 square foot car wash facility would be a fully automated recycling type and would include restrooms. The Combined service station display and price sign structure is 8 feet high with a sign area of 58.6 square feet double faced. Wall signage is proposed to identify the car wash, Chevron service station and food mart facilities. Ms. Cirelli discussed proposed parking, landscaping and signage and the architectural design of the buildings and structures. TJKM has concluded that the project will generate additional vehicular traffic at the Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road intersection and that payment of a traffic impact fee is warranted for the project. In lieu of requiring the Applicant to pay a traffic impact fee, conditions were included in the drafted Resolutions requiring the Applicant to mitigate traffic impacts associated with the project by: 1) dedicating to the City the right-of-way required for the ultimate improvements along Dougherty Road and proposed Dublin Boulevard Extension; 2) constructing ultimate frontage improvements along the Dougherty Road side of the project as shown on the Dougherty Road Plan Line; 3) designing the project site work to match the ultimate improvements for the Dublin Boulevard Extension project; 4) contributing funds for the ultimate construction of Dublin Boulevard Extension within the Applicant's property and any resulting modifications to the future Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road intersection; and 5) providing for the possibility of a joint access driveway between the project site and the adjacent eastern property once Dublin Boulevard Extension has been constructed. CM - VOL 10 - 357 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 Ms. Cirelli advised that these requirements are included as conditions of approval on the draft Site Development Review Resolution. .The Applicant requested clarification of Condition #50 regarding the joint access driveway. Staff recommended replacing the last sentence in Condition #50, page 8 with: "The Applicant shall comply with said Public Works requirements within 60 days after the City has acquired the adjacent eastern property and constructed Dublin Boulevard extension." Cm. Howard asked if the color picture was before or after the dedication of the land right-of-way. Charles Lowry, Project Engineer stated that the picture is after dedication of the right-of-way. He indicated that he was comfortable with the information presented by Staff. Mayor Snyder referred to signage and indicated that in the past, the City Council has had competitors come and ask for modifications to the Sign Ordinance to allow a fourth line on the sign. Mr. Lowry stated they do not anticipate the need for a fourth product; generally this is for diesel. Cm. Jeffery questioned the development of new fuels and asked if this is something that could be incorporated in the design. Mr. Lowry advised that while they are currently investigating alternate fuel sources, more information is needed before they actually handle alternative fuels. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 97 - 91 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR PA 90-066 CHEVRON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A GASOLINE SERVICE STATION, FOOD MART AND CAR WASH FACILITY AT 5933 DOUGHERTY ROAD and RESOLUTION NO. 98 - 91 APPROVING PA 90-066 CHEVRON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE OPERATION OF A SERVICE STATION, FOOD MART AND CAR WASH FACILITY AT 5933 DOUGHERTY ROAD and with changed noted to Condition #50, adopted CM - VOL 10 - 358 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 RESOLUTION NO. 99 - 91 APPROVING PA 90-066 CHEVRON SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A SERVICE STATION WITH 12 SELF-SERVICE FUELING POSITIONS, 953 SQUARE FOOT FOODM~RT, APPROXII~%TELY 1,224 SQUARE FOOT Ci~R WASH FACILITY ~ND WALL SIGNAGE AND TO PEI~IT ONE COMBINED SERVICE STATION DISPLAY AND PRICE SIGN STRUCTURE AT 5933 DOUGHERTY ROAD PUBLIC HEARING - RENTAL AVAILABILITY ORDINANCE (430-20) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Senior Planner Carrington advised that this Ordinance, which was introduced at the September 9th City Council meeting, would allow fees to be paid in-lieu of a requirement that a percentage of units in large multi-family projects be rented for a specified time period. The amount of the in-lieu fee would be based on the amount necessary to subsidize the rental of a 3-bedroom market rate aPartment for 5 years for a family of 5 earning 80% of the Alameda County median income, where no more than 30% of income is spent on rent. On September 9th, the Council expressed concern that the requirement of payment of the in-lieu rental fee prior to issuance of project building permits was too early and directed Staff to change the Ordinance to require payment of the in-lieu rental prior to final inspection of the first dwelling unit of a project. Section 8 12.060 which addresses the relation of the Rental Availability Ordinance to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance was changed to delete "Chapter 8.08 of Title 8 of the City of Dublin Municipal Code" because the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance has not been adopted. Mr. Carrington advised that 2 changes needed to be made to Page 2 of the Resolution. A paragraph should be inserted, "WHEREAS, this Resolution shall be effective 30 days following its adoption." Also, the third paragraph from the top should read, "WHEREAS, the City Council did nold public hearings on said fee on September 9, and September 23, 1991." Cm. Moffatt asked if this would go into effect even if there is less than a 3.5% rental vacancy. Mr. Carrington advised that this is not related to the vacancy rate. The in-lieu rental fee could be increased by the rental rate increase. There is no provision for tying these to the vacancy rate. The fees would be used toward the provision of rental housing. Cm. Moffatt felt Dublin could end up with no rental inventory. Mr. Carrington stated he did not feel'this could happen because this whole policy is based on providing rental units. We recognize the need, and that is why this Ordinance is being considered. CM - VOL 10 - 359 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 No comments were made by members of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 14 - 91 ADDING CHAPTER 8.12 TO TITLE 8 OF THE DUBLIN MUNICIPAL CODE ENACTING A RENTAL AVAILABILITY ORDINANCE and with changes discussed, adopted RESOLUTION NO. 100 - 91 APPROVING THE IN-LIEU RENTAL FEE · · · PUBLIC HEARING JL CONSTRUCTION PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING-DUBLIN MEADOWS APPEAL (450-30) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Senior Planner Carrington advised that this planned development rezoning would amend Dublin Meadows' conditions of approval to allow payment of a fee in-lieu of maintaining 10% (21) of the multi-family units as rental units for 5 years. An Ordinance was introduced on September 9th which would amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit the PD Rezoning. If elected by JL Construction, the in-lieu rental fee would be $10,808 per rental unit in accordance with the Rental Availability Ordinance. The in-lieu rental fee would be paid no later than 30 days from the date of adoption of the PD Rezoning Ordinance for those units which have already received final inspections and prior to final inspection for those units which have not received final inspection. No comments were made by members of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded bY Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 15 - 91 AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PERMIT THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING PA 91-001 TO AMEND CONDITION #54 OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 32-89 TO ALLOW OPTION OF PAYING IN-LIEU RENTAL FEE RATHER THAN PROVIDING RENTAL UNITS FOR JL CONSTRUCTION - DUBLIN MEADOWS , · · · ********************************************************************** CM - VOL 10 - 360 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 PUBLIC HEARING - 20 MINUTE PARKING ZONE NORTH SIDE OF PENN DRIVE @ WELLS INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL (570-20) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson advised that in August, Staff received a letter from Chuck Scanlon, Maintenance Superintendent of the Dublin Unified School District, requesting that a passenger lOading zone be installed along the frontage of Wells School between the westernmost driveway and an existing Wheels bus stop. Additional requests included some small no parking zones adjacent to driveways for visibility purposes. After reviewing the situation, Mr. Thompson advised that Staff proposes to establish a 20-minute parking zone which would be effective Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This would allow the residents in the neighborhood to park for an unlimited amount of time during non-school hours. The School District also requested that the passenger loading zone be established across the frontage of the school parking lot, but Staff did not recommend making any changes in this area in order to allow for long-term parking lot overflow. Cm. Moffatt questioned if this emergency action required a 4/5 vote. City Attorney Silver advised that there must be a statement of grounds for an Ordinance to be adopted on an urgency basis. Four votes would be required. Cm. Howard asked if it was necessary to have the whole section marked "E" painted white. Mr. Thompson stated the 400' probably could be shortened, but it does abut a bus stop at the end. Currently, some of the teachers park in this area. Cm. Howard asked if the School District said anything about the fact that they are going to allow cars to go into the entrance and then out again, or if they are going to block this off during school hours. Mehran Sepehri indicated they said they would like this because it is the safest way to drop off the kids, however, they don't want to lose any parking spaces. The day they went out to review this, the parking was filled and teachers were parking in Section E. Five or 6 teachers were parking in the street. No comments were made by members of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. Cm. Moffatt asked if the bus stop area was close enough that the kids wouldn't get wet during the rainy season. CM - VOL 10 - 361 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 Mr. Sepehri advised that there were no changes recommended to the location of the bus stop. The bus stop location shown is existing already. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council waived the reading and on an urgency basis, adopted ORDINANCE NO. 16 - 91 ESTABLISHING A 20-MINUTE PARKING ZONE ON THE NORTHERLY SIDE OF PENN DRIVE PUBLIC HEARING - DENSITY BONUS ORDINANCE (430-20) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Senior Planner Carrington advised that this Ordinance, which was introduced at the September 9th Council meeting, would allow density bonuses and other incentives to developers providing housing for very low and lower income households and for senior citizens as required by State Law. On September 9th, the Council expressed concerns related to 2 major issues:' 1) Concessions and incentives where the City may approve a reduction of interior amenities for restricted units; and the waiver or modification of Development and Zoning Standards to allow the reduction or elimination of design requirements exceeding state building code standards; and 2) The ability of the owner of a restricted unit to recover the value of improvements made to the dwelling at the time of sale. Mr. Carrington discussed concessions and incentives, waivers and modifications and recovery of the value of improvements and the various alternatives and gave a brief analysis of each for Council consideration. Mr. Carrington advised that Section $.16.050(c)(3) would allow the City to approve a reduction in interior amenities for restricted units as necessary to retain project affordability. Such a reduction of interior amenities could shift the burden of provision of the amenities from the housing developer to the lower income families which would eventually purchase them and could cause social problems due to contrasts with adjacent units with full amenities. Similarly, Section 8.16.060(a)(3) would allow the reduction or elimination of any design requirements exceeding state building code standards. Cm. Jeffery felt that Alternate C of the Staff Report appeared to be a good compromise which would encourage upgrades to a certain extent. CM - VOL 10 - 362 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 She questioned the amount of fluctuation in the different income levels. Mr. Carrington advised that there is not a whole lot. The median income will rise over a period of time and household size might change. There are a lot of factors that could go into this. Sales price is based on the lesser of the 3 ways of looking at an increase. Mr. Carrington stated that in order to maintain the availability of the restricted units, the proposed ordinance provides that the City would impose resale conditions. The density bonus concept contains opposing goals. On one hand, a goal of the concept is to provide restricted units at the lowest price for the longest time possible. On the other hand, the concept allows the owner of a restricted unit to recover the value of substantial structural or permanent fixed improvements and enjoy appreciation of their property due to their efforts. Cm. Moffatt expressed concern that if a family comes in and can fit the program to get into the low cost house and then 6 months down road their income substantially increases, there is no way the family can be restricted from using the unit. Mr. Carrington advised that this is correct. Cm. Moffatt stated if they utilize the house and disaster falls on the people and they cannot afford to maintain the house, will the City come in and help them out or will it just deteriorate. Mr. Carrington advised that the Ordinance makes no provision for assistance in maintaining the unit. They have to take out a loan and buy the unit just like anyone else. There are programs available through Alameda County for grants for some minor home repairs if they have problems maintaining the unit. Cm. Moffatt asked what happens if they let a unit get into disrepair. Mr. Carrington advised that it is conceivable that they could let this happen, but if they want to get the largest amount of money when selling their unit, they would most likely maintain it. Plus, there is also the Property Maintenance Ordinance that could be used, if necessary. Mayor Snyder stated maintenance or the lack of it drives the market across the whole community. Eddie Jo Mack, 7000 Ann Arbor Way suggested that the Council has no way of making people maintain their property and this is true in most neighborhoods. She urged the Council to waive the reading and reintroduce the Ordinance keeping the amenities. Mr. Carrington reiterated that Staff was recommending that 2 sections be deleted. CM - VOL ~0 - 363 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. Cm. Moffatt stated he was concerned about fluctuating values and incomes of people. He asked if any other Ordinances address this issue. Hesees problems whereby some enterprising developers might put the unit into such a state that the units can be sold at a lower price and then fix them up and sell them for a mUch higher price. Some streetwise people like speculators could come in and develop this sort of a situation. He wants to protect the low cost housing folks. He would like to see Staff come back with some Ordinances that would take a look at this and modify it. He would like to see another Ordinance that would take this situation into consideration. Mr. Rankin advised that this might be part of a planned development and typically these would have CC&R's and concerns about individual maintenance situations are usually the responsibility of a homeowners association. They would be paying dues which would typically cover maintenance. Cm. Moffatt stated he had similar concerns like in Berkeley with rental rates being so low there is no way you can get people out of the units. Mayor Snyder stated they weren't discussing rentals, but rather people have a right to own property. Cm. Moffatt questioned what would prevent someone from renting out their unit. Mr. Carrington stated the potential for a unit to become run down is always there, but sellers would not realize as much prOfit if this occurs. City inspections could occur and the City coUld pursue this type of an option, however, it adds quite a bit of responsibility onto the City. If work were necessary, it could be deducted from the sales price. Ms. Silver advised that the Ordinance currently provides that units cannot be rented except in cases of illness or incapacity and the City may approve rental of the unit to the same household type. Mr. Carrington also advised that there is a violation section in the Ordinance, and violations constitute a misdemeanor. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council waived the reading and reintroduced the Ordinance with deletions 8.16.050(c) and (a), and addition of Alternate C 8.16.100(c) to allow home improvements to be added to sales price, within parameters. CM - VOL 10 - 364 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 1991-92 VECTOR CONTROL SERVICES (560-50) Assistant to the City Manager Texeira advised that since March, 1988, the City has contracted with Alameda County for vector control services. Prior to that time, services were provided on an as needed basis by the local County Health Inspector. Currently, the City contracts directly with the County in lieU of participating in the Countywide Vector Control Services District and funds these services through the General Fund. As a result, Dublin property owners receive the same level of service as residents served by the District, but do not pay the assessment as part of their property tax bill as do other Service Area participants. During the 1991-92 Budget deliberations, the Council expressed interest in annexing to the Countywide Service Area. If the City annexes, costs associated with Vector Control Services would transfer from the City of Dublin to Dublin property owners. Payment would be calculated on the property owner's tax bill, and the annual cost to the property owner would be approximately $4.00 per year. Ms. Texeira advised that City Staff has worked with Alameda County Staff to pursue joining the District. County Staff developed a timetable for implementation of annexation of the City of Dublin to the Vector Control Services DiStrict. Mayor Snyder indicated he was not at the budget session when this action was first proposed and asked about the philosophY that brought this action forward. There is obviously some financial benefit to the City. Cm. Moffatt felt that as the City grows, vector problems get larger and since they charge for service, the City could save money. We should consider using Vector Control Services on a long term basis. We need the services to maintain health and welfare. This is a natural move to make rather than reviewing it on a year to year basis. Mr. Rankin explained that the City initially contracted on an as- needed basis. He discussed problems associated with this type of an arrangement. We have since moved to the same level of service as the district provides to other agencies. There is a commitment on the part of Vector Control to assure that the money collected will be spent within the community. The map displayed includes everything that is part of the City and also provides for areas that will be annexed in the future. Mayor Snyder pointed out that the schedule as submitted by the County will need to be altered because LAFCO's next meeting won't be until December 5th. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton absent), the Council adopted CM - VOL 10 - 365 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 RESOLUTION NO. 101 - 91 REQUESTING THaT THE TERRITORY OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN BE ~REXED TO AL~EDA COUNTY SERVICE AREA 1984-1 (VECTOR CONTROL) and approved the Plan for Providing Services. OTHER BUSINESS East Bay Division Breakfast (140-25) Cm. Moffatt reminded everyone that the East Bay Division of the League of CA Cities will be hosting a breakfast meeting at the League Conference on October 14th at 8:00 a.m. Tickets are going fast and he urged everyone to attend. CITYLINK Program (League of CA Cities) 180-10 Cm. Moffatt stated that since Dublin is a young and progressive City that likes to be on the cutting edge, he would recommend that we take the opportunity to join other cities in the CITYLINK Program through the League of CA Cities. He felt we could benefit tremendously through participation in this program. Cm. Jeffery asked if he wanted to put the request into the budget process for next year. Mr. Rankin advised that Staff could check with some of the current users and provide additional information. Mayor Snyder clarified that after the League of CA Cities Conference, it may be appropriate for Staff to prepare a report to the Council related to the CITYLINK Program for consideration. Voter Registration Outreach (630-70) Mayor Snyder stated the Council had received a letter from Del Miles related to a joint endeavor by the Alameda County Registrar's Office and the local League of Women Voters to register voters. There will be an appreciation gathering to recognize local businesses who are displaying and providing voter registration forms in their places of business on Thursday, September 26th at 11:00 a.m., in front of Orchard Supply Hardware. CM - VOL 10 - 366 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991 CLOSED SESSION At 9:00 p.m., the Council recessed to a closed executive session to discuss: 1) Personnel, (700-20) Government Code Section 54957.6; 2) Potential Litigation, (640-30) GCS 54956.9(c); 3) Potential Litigation, GCS 54956.9(c); and 4) Pending Litigation, Measure D, GCS 54956.9 (a) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 10:49 p.m. ATTEST-. ********************************************************************** CM - VOL 10 - 367 Regular Meeting September 23, 1991
