Amendment to a Joint Powers Agreement to Participate in the HERO Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution authorizing the City to join the HERO Program,
which is a program designed to assist in financing energy and water saving projects, the financing of
which is accomplished through an assessment on a resident's property. The program is coordinated by the
Western Riverside Council of Governments through a joint powers authority, which the City would be
joining. The City Council action will authorize the HERO Program to accept applications from Dublin
property owners who wish to finance energy and water saving improvements. The action will also
authorize the HERO Program to conduct contractual assessment proceedings and levy contractual
assessments on behalf of the City within the territory of the City of Dublin for the repayment of program
financing. The HERO Program is a Property Assessed Clean Energy Program (PACE). The City already
has one such residential program in place through the CaliforniaFIRST Program. HERO Program
participation would provide residents with an additional alternative to consider.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Consenting to the Inclusion of Properties within the City's Jurisdiction in the
California Hero Program to Finance Distributed Generation Renewable Energy Sources, Energy and Water
Efficiency Improvements and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Approving the Amendment to
a Certain Joint Powers Agreement Related Thereto.

Renovation of the City of Dublin City Council Chamber.
4.4. Resolution Supporting an Amendment of the Communications Act of 1934
Community television stations provide transparency and access for residents and business owners by
broadcasting local government meetings and programming. California law allows a local entity to establish
a fee to support public, educational and governmental (PEG) channel facilities consistent with federal law,
which limits the use of PEG fees to capital costs incurred for PEG access facilities. The Community
Access Preservation Act (CAP Act), U.S. Senate Bill S.1244, would modify the Communications Act of
1934 to allow PEG fees to be used for both capital and operational expenses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Supporting U.S. Senate Bill S.1244 to Amend the Communications Act of 1934.

6.1. General Plan/Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments, Planned Development Rezoning with
related Stage 1 Development Plans for portions of: 1) Jordan Ranch (PLPA 2015-00045); 2) Dublin
Ranch Subarea 3 (PLPA 2015-00046); and 3) Wallis Ranch (PLPA 2015-00047). In addition,Jordan
Ranch has submitted an application for Planned Development Zoning with Stage 2 Development
Plan, Site Development Review Permit and Vesting Tentative Maps 8267 and 8269 for Parcel H and
Neighborhood 7; and a Development Agreement amendment with BJ-ROF Jordan Ranch LLC
Mission Valley Properties.
The City Council will consider the following General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use
changes: 1) Jordan Ranch - change 3.7 acres from Parks/Public Recreation to Public/Semi Public and
change 4.6 acres identified as Parcel H from Mixed Use to Medium Density Residential (6.1 to 14.0 units
per acre); and 2) Dublin Ranch Subarea 3 - (Irongate) change 10.4 acres from Rural
Residential/Agriculture to Parks/Public Recreation. A Planned Development rezone with related Stage 1
Development Plan is proposed in accordance with these land use changes. Jordan Ranch also proposes to
include Planned Development Zoning with a Stage 2 Development Plan, Site Development Review Permit
and Vesting Tentative Maps for Parcel H (VTM 8267) and Neighborhood 7 (VTM 8269). An amendment
to the Jordan Ranch Development Agreement is also proposed. Changing Parcel H to MDR would remove
the potential for 115 units and 5,000 square feet of retail commercial and replaces it with 45 units (five
units are detached 2-story homes and 40 units are 3-story duets). Neighborhood 7, approved previously
for approximately 100 Medium Density units, includes 105 detached 3-story units.
The City Council will also consider land use changes for the Wallis Ranch project to help address a
potential future parkland deficit that is unrelated to the school/park site changes in Jordan Ranch. The City
and the Wallis Ranch developer propose to create additional parkland by way of a General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment and Planned Development Zoning to change 1.9 acres from
Semi-Public to Parks/Public Recreation. This proposal does not modify the number of residential units in
the Wallis Ranch development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing; deliberate; and take the following
actions:
a) Adopt the Resolution Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program and Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Jordan Ranch/Subarea

8267 (Parcel H) and 8269 (Neighborhood 7) for the Jordan Ranch project; and
