SU 13,ECT : Annual Progress Report on the Status of the General Plan and Housing
Element for the Calendar Year 2022
Prepared by.• Linda Ajello, AICP, Senior Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
State planning law (Government Code Section 65400) requires local jurisdictions to provide an
Annual Progress Report (APR) on the implementation of the General Plan Housing Element as
well as General Plan activities each year to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research and the
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This Staff Report,
including Attachment 1, serves as the City of Dublin's APR for calendar year 2022.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the Annual Progress Report and direct Staff to forward it to the Governor's Office of
Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
This Staff Report is organized into the following sections: a) Background; b) Status of General Plan
activities; c) Progress towards meeting City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA); and d)
Status of Housing Element actions and programs.
Background
Each local government in California is required to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan
for the physical development of the jurisdiction. The City Council adopted the General Plan in
1985 and has periodically adopted amendments to it.
Pagel of 9

The Dublin General Plan groups the seven State -mandated elements and five optional elements into
the following five sections:
1) Land Use and Circulation Section
■ Land Use Element (State -mandated)
■ Parks and Open Space Element (State -mandated)
■ Schools, Public Lands, and Utilities Element (Optional)
■ Circulation and Scenic Highways Element (State -mandated)
2) Housing Section
■ Housing Element (State -mandated)
3) Environmental Resources Management Section
■ Conservation Element (State -mandated)
■ Seismic Safety and Safety Element (State -mandated)
■ Noise Element (State -mandated)
■ Water Resources Element (Optional)
■ Energy Conservation Element (Optional)
4) Community Design and Sustainability Section
■ Community Design and Sustainability Element (Optional)
5) Economic Development Section
■ Economic Development Element (Optional)
A certified Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements of the General Plan. Housing
Element law, enacted in 1969, mandates local governments to update their Housing Element every
eight years to demonstrate how they have adequately planned to meet the existing and projected
housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The community's housing need is
determined through the RHNA process. The City's 2015-2023 Housing Element covers the current
reporting period. On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted an updated Housing Element
which is applicable to the 2023-2031 planning period.
Local governments are required to provide an annual report to their legislative body, the
Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD), on the status of the General Plan implementation as well as
progress made toward meeting its RHNA (Government Code Section 65400(a)(2)). This Staff
Report, including Attachment 1, serves as the City of Dublin's Annual Progress Report (APR) for
calendar year 2022, concluding the 2015-2022 Housing Element cycle.

Status of General Plan Activities
This section of the report focuses on General Plan Amendments (GPAs) approved from January 1
to December 31, 2022. Under Government Code Section 65358(b), no mandatory element of the
General Plan may be amended more than four times per year, although each amendment may
include more than one change to the General Plan. The following GPAs were approved in 2022.
Fallon East (Alameda & GH PacVest). On February 15, 2022, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 14-22, approving amendments to the General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan for 72.1 acres of the GH PacVest property and 1.25-acres of the Alameda
property to change the land use designations from General Commercial to General
Commercial/Campus Office.
SCS Dublin. On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 136-22,
approving General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendments in conjunction with
the approval of the SCS Dublin Development Project to construct up to 500 market rate
units and up to 100 affordable units, up to 100 ADUs, and up to 265,000 square feet of
retail commercial development on approximately 76.2 acres of land. The amendments
modified the land use designations from Neighborhood Commercial, General Commercial,
Medium Density Residential, Medium -High Density Residential, High Density Residential
and Public/Semi-public to General Commercial, Medium Density Residential, Medium -High
Density Residential, Parks/Public Recreation and Public/Semi-Public.
2023-2031 Housing Element. In conjunction with the adoption of the 2023-2031 Draft
Housing Element on November 15, 2022, the City Council approved GPA's that included
amending the Land Use Element and Land Use Map, the Seismic Safety and Safety Element,
and amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Downtown Dublin Specific Plan.
The City Council also approved rezoning the northern portion of Site D-2 and all of Site E-2
at the Dublin Transit Center, and two parcels at the Hacienda Crossings shopping center to
accommodate lower -income units to meet the 2023-2031 RHNA allocation. In addition, the
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan was amended to exempt three non -vacant sites, that are
identified to provide 416 units affordable to lower -income households, from the
Development Pool and the Community Benefit Program Agreement requirements.
Progress Towards Meeting City's RHNA
The State of California periodically provides population growth and housing need estimates to
each regional Council of Government. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), which is
the regional Council of Government in the Bay Area, is then charged with distributing, based on
projected local job and household growth, the regional housing need to counties and cities within
the ABAG region. Each local jurisdiction's need is further categorized by income category. The goal
of the RHNA process is to ensure that local General Plans can accommodate projected future
household growth for all income levels in each jurisdiction. Housing production across all income
levels is needed to address the State's existing challenges regarding housing supply and
affordability.

Table 1 identifies the City's RHNA for the 2015-2023 period. The City's Housing Element is
required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the City's RHNA at the various income levels
through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development and housing
production.

Total Housing Production
Most notably in 2022, the City issued Planning entitlements for the SCS Dublin Project, including
up to 500 market rate units and up to 100 affordable units. Additionally, the City issued building
permits for 97 new dwelling units in 2022, including permits for the final 55 units to complete the
Tassajara Hills project and the remaining 37 units at the Boulevard project.
Affordable Housing Production
In 2022, the City continued to issue building permits for the Tassajara Hills project and issued
certificates of occupancy for 147 single-family units, including seven deed -restricted moderate -
income units.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Production
Although accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are often considered "affordable by design," HCD only
allows ADUs to count towards the affordable categories if the affordability can be demonstrated
through either a deed restriction guaranteeing affordable rents, documentation of proposed rental
rates, or through a survey of rental rates of comparable units. In 2022, the City issued building
permits for five ADUs, none of which were deed -restricted.
Page 4 of 9
115
The City continued its efforts to further incentivize and streamline the construction of ADUs in
2022. The City developed eight different ADU prototype plans, including five ADUs designed to be
either attached or detached, and three plans for converting a garage to an ADU. The plans include
studios, one-, and two -bedrooms ranging in size from 224-909 square feet. The City also prepared
an ADU manual to help guide homeowners who are not familiar with the development process.
The ADU plans and manual are available to the public on the City's website.
Conformance with SB 35
In 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 35 into law, which established a streamlined
approval process for new housing applications that meet certain criteria. Local jurisdictions are
subject to SB 35 when the number of units that have been issued building permits is less than the
locality's share of the regional housing need, by income category, for that RHNA reporting period.
Based on housing production during the current RHNA period, HCD has determined that the City
of Dublin is subject to SB 35. Developers in Dublin may request a streamlined approval process
under SB 35 if their project has a minimum of 50% affordable units. On March 1, 2022, the City
Council adopted the Citywide Multi -Family Objective Design Standards to address streamlined
approval under SB 35 and ensure that new multi -family development in Dublin continues to
provide high quality architecture, appropriately connect to its surroundings, include well -
designed amenities and open spaces, promote sustainability, and contribute to walkable and safe
environments.
Conformance with SB 166
The City's 2015-2023 Housing Element is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the
RHNA at various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow
residential development. In 2017, Governor Brown signed into law SB 166, which requires cities
to continually ensure that their Housing Element land inventories can accommodate the unmet
housing need. Under SB 166, a city must demonstrate that there is sufficient land identified to
meet the unmet housing need at each income level prior to approving any project with fewer units
by income category than identified in the Housing Element land inventory. If there is not sufficient
land identified, then a city must identify additional sites within 180 days of approving a reduced -
density project. AB 879 requires that jurisdictions report any sites that have been rezoned in
order to comply with SB 166 as a component of their APR. The City did not identify or rezone any
additional land in 2022 to accommodate unmet housing need during the 2015-2023 Housing
Element cycle.
Conformance with SB 9
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law SB 9, entitled the California Housing
Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2022. SB 9
intends to minimize the restrictions and limitations of traditional single-family zoning by allowing
additional housing units on single-family lots and/or allowing for single-family lots to be split into
two parcels with additional residential units constructed on each lot. This law allows by right, two
residential units per lot of at least 800 square feet that could be conveyed (sold separately) and
additional ADUs. The new law effectively limits the City's ability to regulate SB 9 developments
and prohibits a discretionary review process for qualified projects. However, the City does have
the ability to apply certain objective standards to development and subdivisions allowed by SB 9.
On April 5, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance 03-22 approving amendments to the Dublin
Page 5 of 9
116
Municipal Code to regulate the development of new residential housing units in a manner that is
comparable to single-family residential uses, and establish objective design and development
standards for SB 9 projects. The City did not receive any SB 9 development applications in 2022.
Status of Housing Element Actions and Programs
The 2015-2023 Housing Element identifies 22 housing programs. Table D in Attachment 1 lists in
detail the various programs implementing the Housing Element goals and policies with their
current statuses using the format required by OPR and HCD. A summary of notable
accomplishments in 2022 toward implementation of Housing Element programs is provided
below.
■ Program 1: Housing Rehabilitation Assistance. Continue to support the Alameda County
Community Development Agency to implement the Minor and Major Improvement
Programs (including accessibility grants) with the goal of assisting 32 households over
eight years.
Status: Minor home rehabilitation grants and home improvement loan assistance are
available to low-income households through existing Alameda County programs. Alameda
County Healthy Homes Department Minor Home Rehabilitation Program provides grants of
up to $3,000 to low-income homeowners for minor plumbing, carpentry, and electrical
repairs and can be used for railings, grab bars, toilets, water heaters, doors, locks, and
more. Renew Alameda County (AC) is a home improvement loan assistance program for
low-income homeowners throughout the County. Renew AC aims to help keep existing
homeowners in their homes and maintain existing housing stock in a safe, livable condition.
In 2022, three Minor Home Repair Grants totaling $8,794.59 were issued to Dublin
residents. The goal was to provide six grants totaling $15,231.55 in project funds.
Program 2: Housing Choice Voucher Rental Assistance. Continue to support the assistance
of 350 lower income households each year throughout the planning period.
Status: In 2022, the Alameda County Housing Authority provided Housing Choice
Vouchers to 421 households who rented in Dublin. Additionally, the City funded 29
individuals with a total of $139,319 through the Residential Rental Assistance Program
(RRAP) which is administrated by the City.
Program 5: Mixed -Use Development. Facilitate the construction of 100 high -density
residential units within mixed -use developments within the planning period.
Status: In 2022, the City approved the SCS Dublin Project, which includes up to 500 market
rate units, up to 100 affordable units, and up to 100 ADUs. No building permits or
certificates of occupancy were issued for high -density residential units within mixed -use
developments in 2022.
Program 12: Second Dwelling Units. Market this program through an informational
brochure. The brochure will be available on the City website and at the Civic Center,
Page 6 of 9
117
Library, Senior Center, and other public locations. Facilitate the construction of 30 second
dwelling units within the planning period.
Status: A summary of the City's progress toward implementing this program is provided
above under ADU Production.
Program 13: Homeless Assistance. Continue to fund emergency shelter programs in the Tri-
Valley area to house residents in need of emergency shelter. Annually evaluate the
homeless services needs as part of the Community Support Grants program, with the
objective of assisting an average of 30 persons each year. Continue to participate in
regional collaborations to address homelessness.
Status: The City continues to provide financial support to a number of local organizations
that provide services and assistance to homeless people through the Community Support
Grants program and other funding sources, including:
■ Tri-Valley Haven's Homeless and Family Support Services program assists Dublin
residents through Sojourner House (a family homeless shelter) and their Food
Pantry. In Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City contributed more than $200,000 from the
Housing and General Plan funds to Tri-Valley Haven.
■ Eden Information and Referral's 2-1-1 service acts as Alameda County's first point
of contact of Coordinated Entry System screenings and referrals.
■ CityServe of the Tri-Valley assists with crisis intervention and homelessness
prevention. In Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City contributed $25,000 to CityServe from
the General Plan funds.
■ Goodness Village which is a tiny house community that provides affordable and
permanent housing options in a supportive community for people transitioning out
of chronic homelessness. During Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City contributed $8,460 to
Goodness Village from the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP)
Grant.
■ Axis Community Health is a comprehensive health center that provides care from
five sites located throughout the Tri-Valley area. Services include pediatrics, adult
health, and women's health care. Axis also provides mental health services, dental
care, acupuncture, and chiropractic care. In Fiscal Year 2022-23, Axis received more
than $200,000 through CDBG funding.
■ Centro Legal de la Raza is a legal services agency that provides legal representation
in Northern and Central California for the low-income, Black, and Latinx
communities through bilingual representation, education and advocacy. Legal
services provided include tenant rights and unlawful evictions. In Fiscal Year 2022-
23, Centro Legal de la Gaza received more than $20,000 in CDBG funds.
■ Open Heart Kitchen is a program that provides hot meals to those in need within the
Tri-Valley area. The City provided $25,000 in funding to Open Heart Kitchen from
the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds in Fiscal Year 2022-23. In addition, the
Program received $300,000 in CDBG Funds for the purchase of kitchen equipment.

Program 20: Equal Housing Opportunity. Provide referrals to appropriate agencies for
services. Distribute fair housing information to public locations. Post information on the
City's website. Distribute information to real estate agents, rental property
owners/managers, and financial institutions in Dublin. Participate in Alameda County's
Impediments to Fair Housing Study through the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program.
Status: The City continues to provide referrals to appropriate agencies for fair housing
services through direct communication with residents (in person at the counter, via email,
and over the phone) and the City website. The City's website includes links to Eden Council
for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO), the State of California Consumer Affairs Office booklet
"California Tenants: Guide to Residential Tenants and Landlord's Rights and
Responsibilities," and the "Tri-Valley Human Services Pocket Guide." The City, through
Alameda County, contracts with ECHO to provide fair housing services to Dublin residents.
Program 22: Energy Conservation. Implement applicable Waste Management and Building
Code regulations, provide Green Building training to Staff, and distribute energy
conservation information to the public.
Status: In September 2020, the City Council adopted the Climate Action Plan 2030 and
Beyond (CAP 2030), establishing the next phase of climate action planning and
implementation. Strategies of CAP 2030 include 100% renewable and carbon -free
electricity, building efficiency and electrification, sustainable mobility and land use,
materials and waste management, and municipal leadership measures. CAP 2030
establishes the City's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and strive
for carbon neutrality by 2045, resulting in cleaner air, more versatile and flexible
transportation, new opportunities for economic growth, reductions in localized flooding
risks, and greater energy independence from fossil fuels.
In November 2022, the City Council adopted the 2022 Building Code, which included
amendments to adopt the latest California Green Building Standards Code along with local
amendments that went into effect on January 1, 2023. The local amendments included
requirements for all new buildings to be all -electric with exceptions. The exceptions
include: 1) multi -family and commercial buildings where the design team provides
evidence that an all -electric building is unable to meet established requirements under the
California Building Energy Efficiency Standards; and 2) commercial buildings containing
kitchens or having the potential to contain kitchens, upon application, may install gas to the
building for use in the kitchen areas. These modifications are intended to limit the GHG
emissions from natural gas. Coupled with the communitywide 100% carbon -free energy of
Measure CF-1 in CAP 2030, new building electrification will result in homes and businesses
that emit no GHGs. In addition, this amendment will meet the requirements of measure EE-
1 of CAP 2030.
The City continues to require covered projects (including construction, demolition, and
renovation projects with total costs of $100,000 or greater) to submit a Waste Management
Plan to meet the City's Construction and Debris Ordinance, which was adopted in 2008 and
Page 8 of 9
119
amended in 2014. The regulations require the diversion of at least 65% for remodels and
75% for new construction of construction waste away from landfills.
Additionally, the City continues to work with StopWaste, the Bay Area Regional Energy
Network (BayREN), and East Bay Energy Watch to provide energy conservation to the
public via workshops and direct outreach. The City also promoted the new SB 1383
requirements to divert 75% of solid waste from the landfill by 2025 (based on 2014 levels)
and 25% of food waste from the landfill.
Finally, the City continues to offer subsidized permit fees for the installation of solar roof
panels for a variety of projects throughout the City of Dublin.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 2: Housing Affordability
Objective A: Develop a Certified Housing Element that balances the location of housing options for
all income types.

In November 2022, the City Council adopted the 2022 Building Code, which
included amendments to adopt the latest California Green Building Standards
Code along with local amendments that went into effect on January 1, 2023. The
local amendments included requirements for all new buildings to be all -electric
with exceptions to certain multi -family and commercial buildings where the
design team has provided evidence that an all -electric building is unable to meet
established requirements under the California Building Energy Efficiency
Standards; and b) commercial buildings containing kitchens or having the
potential to contain kitchens, upon application, may install gas to thebuilding for

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from natural gas. It is estimated that without
therequirement for all -electric buildings, new construction will add over three
million thermsof natural gas use in Dublin by 2045. In addition, all -electric
buildings have been found to be less expensive to construct and operate in
Dublin's climate zone compared to constructing buildings with both gas and
electric utilities, especially when paired with solar photovoltaic (PV) installations.
Coupled with the communitywide 100% carbon -free energy of Measure CF-1 in the
Climate Action Plan (CAP), new building electrification will result in homes and
businesses that emit no GHGs. In addition, this amendment will meet the
requirements of measure EE-1 of the CAP.

In September 2020, the City Council adopted the Climate Action Plan 2030 and
Beyond (CAP 2.0), establishing the next phase of climate action planning and
implementation. Strategies of CAP 2.0 include 100 percent renewable and carbon -
free electricity, building efficiency and electrification, sustainable mobility and
land use, materials and waste management, and municipal leadership measures.
CAP 2.0 establishes the City's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and strive for carbon neutrality by 2045.
The City continues to require covered projects (including construction,
demolition, and renovation projects with total costs of $100,000 or greater) to
submit a Waste Management Plan to meet the City's Construction and Debris
Ordinance, which was adopted in 2008 and amended in 2014. The regulations
require the diversion of at least 65 percent for remodels and 75 percent for new
construction of construction waste away from landfills.
In 2021, Building & Safety Division Staff received training on zero net energy
homes, solar photovoltaic and energy storage systems, SolarAPP+, and energy
code.
Additionally, the City continues to work with StopWaste, the Bay Area Regional
Energy Network (BayREN), and East Bay Energy Watch to provide energy
conservation to the public via workshops and direct outreach. The City also
promoted the new SB 1383 requirements to divert 75 percent of solid waste from
the landfill by 2025 (based on 2014 levels) and divert 25 percent of food waste
from the landfill.
Notably, the City transitioned all residential electrical accounts to East Bay
Community Energy's Renewable 100 plan, which offers 100percent renewable and
carbon -free electricity, effective January 1, 2022.
