5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I am involved with CJSF, a nationwide scholarship program at school. Regularly we plan fundraisers and other activities to raise money for our school or to donate to other organizations. To do these fundraisers we work with other companies. For example, most recently we made a plan with Panda Express, and anyone who bought from them and used a code, CJSF was making money to help donate to other organizations. Additionally, when we have community events (splatter, farmers markets, and St. Patrick’s day ), I can volunteer to be In the City Booth, use flyers to raise awareness, and encourage other teens to participate. We can also spread the message through podcasts, social media, and school events. . We can collaborate with boy scouts, because they are great at working on community projects. Finally, we can work with the library and its many resources that are freely available.

To Whomever It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to recommend Neel Karurparekh for membership in The Youth Advisory Committee of Dublin.

I have known Neel since August 2021 as a student in my Science class at Fallon Middle School.

He is an exceptionally bright student who is in the top 5% of all my students. Academically, he is a very strong student who can work very well independently as well as in a team setting.

Neel is an exceptional and highly motivated student and wears a lot of feathers in his cap. He has been an active leader of a club called Gardeners of the Galaxy (grows and distributes microgreen) that provides community services to schools in the neighborhood. As part of this club, he manages communication, finance, and delivery schedules for the club and has learned to recognize the needs of our community better through his experiences. In order to expand the impact of their club and reach larger groups in need, Neel has been communicating with a non-profit organization called Culinary Angles (they give food to cancer patients) and this speaks to his collaboration skills and innovative thinking.

Neel is also currently part of CJSF, a scholarship club that fosters high standards of scholarship, service, and citizenship in the middle grades. He has also led his Destination Imagination team for 5 years all the way to global finals, and achieved 10th place in the competition. With all the experience, knowledge and, most importantly, enthusiasm he has to be a positive member of the community, Neel is capable of making informed decisions that will benefit the city and will be a good asset to this program.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Neel Karurparekh for the position of a member in The Youth Advisory Committee. I am confident that he would make an excellent addition to the Committee.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Neel’s qualifications for this position.

Sincerely,
Shobana Reddy

To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing this letter to recommend Neel KarurParekh to the Youth Advisory Committee for the City of Dublin. Neel has been my student for a year, and I have found him to be a sincere and knowledgeable student. He is hardworking and never hesitates to volunteer input for discussions, while positively listening to others ideas as well. Neel is a well-rounded student who is always seeking clarification in areas where he can improve, while striving for optimum success.

Neel has proven to be a leader in and out of the school environment. At Fallon Neel is a member of our California Junior Scholarship Federation, and assists in planning and coordinating the activities they sponsor.

He also participates in Destination Imagination, which challenges students to work together in teams to solve open-ended STEAM challenges designed to teach the creative process. Additionally, Neel is involved with competitive speech and debate through a program called Bridge, where he participates in congressional debate. This will assist in his knowledge of topics as he works with the Youth Advisory Committee, because he is aware of the process of the general working of the government and community works.

Outside of school Neel is an active leader in Gardeners of the Galaxy, a club that grows and distributes microgreen to local high schools in need. He assists in managing communication, finance, and scheduling, along with the actual gardening. Neel has recently contacted a non-profit that gives food to cancer patients, Culinary Angels, and is working to see how his club can work with their agency to increase the impact together. Neel also packs food as part of Kids Against Hunger, a non-profit organization that donates to countries in need, and recently helped pack over 15,000 meals that were sent to Ukraine.

On top of all of these amazing things Neel is doing, he still finds time to play the violin, play ping pong, and learn Spanish. Neel is indeed a very well rounded young man that I feel would be a strong addition to the Youth Advisory Committee.

Sincerely,
Michelle Elissiry

1. Why do you want to become a member of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)?* a. I want to become a part of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory committee because I like helping, planning, and volunteering for different activities and this will allow me to plan the events that happen in Dublin. Some things I look forward to getting involved in are the Saint Patrick’s Day parade, the Splatter festival, and helping out the seniors. b. I am very creative and am good at arts and crafts. I also started a cake baking business with my friends, during the pandemic, which allowed me to be involved in activities like planning the ingredients, surveying the prices, defining the prices, making marketing brochures, business cards, and carrying out the marketing. This allowed me to learn how to organize and execute programs, which will be useful in my role as a member of the City of Dublin, Youth Advisory Committee. c. I also want to be in the YAC because I want to spread positivity, take on leadership, and I want to help my community.

Adding on, the YAC is a great opportunity to learn about my city Dublin, and it can help me do well in high school. d. Finally, it will allow me to understand the Dublin City activities better and I will be able to get more friends and classmates involved in the advancement of the City of Dublin.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* a. I think I will be a strong candidate for the Youth Advisory committee because I am organized, I can plan well, I like volunteering and helping others, and I am good at communication. b. Planning things is extremely important to do anything such as volunteering, helping out, and doing any activities. I am great at planning and I always plan according to what we are going to do. c. Volunteering is an important skill because most of the stuff we will do in the YAC is volunteering. I love helping others and volunteering is a very good skill I have.
d. I am a great leader and communicator because whenever I have an idea, I take the lead and use that idea, I am also very friendly and approachable. I like taking input from others and incorporating their ideas into the activities I undertake. e. I am a good student and have received a Principal’s honor roll in each of my quarters in the 6th Grade and expect to get a Principal’s honor roll in most of my 7th grade too.
f. I am also learning computer programming, which may be useful in my work as a committee member of the YAC. g. I am very disciplined and complete all my work on time or before time. While many students gave up, I achieved my Taekwondo Black belt during the pandemic and continue to pursue Taekwondo every week, even when there are just 4 students in my class.
h. I was recently offered a part time job in Summer, teaching in a pre-school. I had taken some classes with this teacher over a couple of years back. She reached out to my mom to ask if I could work with her for 3 weeks in Summer as she found I was very dedicated, disciplined and organized.

So I believe I have various skills which will allow me to excel in my role as a member of YAC. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
a. One of the main issues Dublin’s Teens are dealing with is bullying, especially cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is one main problem because nowadays, almost every teen has a phone or electronics and many people bully by text or messages on the phone.
b. Another issue is anxiety or depression. There are different types, like social, where teens might be afraid to socialize or have a large fear of something. One main cause is stress from school because the school gives a lot of homework and some teens may be stressed from the amount of difficulty of the homework. c. Adding on, some problems might be related to health. With almost all teens having a phone, they spend most of their time on a screen instead of going outdoors and exercising. Many teenagers also eat a lot of junk food, not knowing how bad it can be for their health.
d. Another issue that has become more common is online games / video games. Lots of teens and younger people have become addicted to games spending more than 2-3 hours of their time everyday playing games. This can affect the teens' other day to day activities as well as teens will have less and less time for social interactions and outdoor games.

YAC can help by bringing more awareness about these issues in teens using ways that teens will relate with. For example text messages linked to funny YouTube videos. This will capture the teens attention and provide knowledge to them.

YAC can also conduct some workshops to bring awareness about the issues and what teens can do to overcome them. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I am participating in Volleyball at school, school band, taekwondo, as well as learning computer programming. I complete all my tasks diligently and on time. Volleyball is coming to an end next week. With the activities that I am participating in today or expect to participate in in the future, I will be able to devote adequate time each month, for YAC meetings and activities. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* a. Planning fun and exciting events are a useful way to get teens involved in the community. I would set up clubs that will interest teenagers, environmental clean-ups, and charity drives. All these activities are a great way to teach teenagers about caring for people and the environment.
b. Events like environmental cleanup are activities that can get teens, and other people of all ages involved. Environmental clean-ups can teach teens about keeping our world clean, about how trash lying around can harm our environment, and how to preserve nature.
c. Charity drives can help teens understand about helping people in need, and how to donate. It could teach them to not be greedy and to be happy with what they have because many people in the world have less than them. d. Fun Clubs like art clubs, chess clubs, video game clubs, and sports clubs are some things that will both be exciting and will interest teens. They can get involved in the community while having fun and learning new things. e. One other thing is about making the teens aware of the different teen events and city-sponsored activities that are happening in our city. Many teens are not even aware of these events and do not participate in these events. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box.

1. Why do you want to become a member of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)?* I want to become a member of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee, because I love giving back to my community and working with people, I love using my creativity and innovative thinking, and I have been on the Youth Advisory Committee for the 2021-2022 term. I volunteered as part of the Dublin Lead, for the summer of 2021, at the Dublin Wave Waterpark. I really enjoyed my experience there, meeting new people, and having fun at the same time. Whenever there is a situation at hand, I can come up with a logical, yet uncommon approach to a solution, and most of the time it ends up working out the way everyone wants it to. I was on the Youth Advisory Committee for the 21-22 term. There, I was on all three Ad-Hoc committees of the Youth Mental Health Forum, the upcoming Dublin Benefit Concert, and the Hackathon set in May. I also volunteered at the St. Patrick's day event, at the Committee's booth. At the Youth Mental Health forum, I helped make the questionnaire for the panelists, and invited one person to join the panel. The Youth Mental Health forum went really well. Through these experiences, I got to meet very exciting new people, and I really enjoyed working with the youth there. I learnt a lot from working with these people. I really enjoy doing new things, and put my best foot forward in everything. I participated in this year's science fair, and my project was nominated to go to the Alameda County Science and Engineering Fair(ACSEF). My project was on composting, and how it was beneficial to the environment. Through this project, I not only learnt about composting, but also learnt about how we can take care of our environment, and the people around us. I enjoyed doing a project like that, because it would help to improve the community around me. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Skills I possess that I believe would make me a strong candidate for the YAC, are my creativity, my cooperation, and my positivity. Since finding a solution when there is a dilemma often includes trade-offs, most of the time I can find the best possible solution while also keeping in mind all the requirements. I cooperate very well with other people. I always listen to what everyone has to say, make sure everyone has participated, and that not one person is dominating the whole conversation. I also make sure to see where I should assert dominance in the conversation though. I always stay positive, even when things aren't going the way I want it to. Regardless of the situation, I always try encouraging everyone, and add a humorous joke every now and then to brighten up the mood. I am also currently a Logistics Officer in the Cottonwood Creek School Music Department's Executive Leadership team, in which I plan and carry out big events. I planned out the Winter Concert for CCS with minimal help from others, except for the band director Jasper Tran, who oversaw the planning and execution of the concert. I planned out social distancing techniques, while also making sure there was enough audience seating available for everyone who wanted to come watch. I am also carrying out logistics for our upcoming Disneyland/Anaheim 5 day trip. I am a bus leader, and also helped to track COVID testing, and Vaccination Card Proof. I believe that my ability to carry out logistics would make me a strong candidate for the YAC, as planning out some of the events that the YAC puts on requires a lot of logistics to make sure everything falls together. These four qualities are ones that I believe would be very important to the YAC.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
One issue that's important to me, that I want to address in next year's term, is teens' mental health. A lot of my friends, and I myself, have experienced a lot of stress over things like the workload that we have, and how we deal with it. Not only is it stress, but also most of us are going to sleep at 11, and finding ourselves rarely over 7 hours of sleep. This is one of the biggest issues that youth that I know have, stress and sleep loss from an increased work load, and I know that it will only get worse in high school. I was part of the Ad-Hoc committee for the Youth Mental Health Forum in 2021, and it went really well. I believe that we should do that event again, and seek a bigger audience. That's why this is something I want to address in next year's committee, as this will help us find coping strategies for teens.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* During the 2022-2023 school year, I will be involved in extracurricular coding, singing, math, and probably volleyball too. I will be able to devote plenty of time each month for YAC meetings and activities. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I would get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities by showing them what the event is, how it is beneficial to them, and also how it is beneficial to the community around them. Often, teens don't want to go to events because they believe they will be the only person there, however if I can get them involved one by one, they will all want to go together to participate in these events. I am very persuasive, and can easily support my point of view or claim. I make sure to be someone that people can rely on. One of my classmates saw me in a picture on the YAC application page, and thought to apply for the YAC.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* Yes, I was on the YAC for the 2021-2022 term, and an item I was interested in was the Dublin Youth Mental Health Forum. I was on its Ad-Hoc committee, and I thought it went extremely well. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box.

COTTONWOOD CREEK SCHOOL
DUBLIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Lorianne R. Ventura, Ed.D.

Principal
Wednesday 9 March 2022
To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is intended to alert you to the talents of a bright, dedicated, and responsible young man. To provide context for this reference, I’ve taught secondary English in the public school system for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of instructing Mahidhara (Mahi) Sudeendra for the past 7 months at Cottonwood Creek School.

The 4 C’s (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat) are the characteristics one looks for when selecting a diamond; the best consist of the highest of these qualities. These gems are rare and incredibly expensive. Mahi possesses the 4 C’s of an exceptional individual, Collaborative, Critical-thinker, Character and Compassionate. I consider it a privilege to recommend Mahi for the 2022-2023 City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee.

Dependable, motivated, caring, respected and well-liked by his peers and teachers are just a few of the many descriptors of Mahi. Another attribute is being a team player, but knowing when to assert himself if needed. This is exemplified through his participation in leadership class last year, where he had the opportunity to attend conferences and facilitate school spirit events in the virtual learning world. This year Mahi volunteered to be the CCS Music Department Logistics Manager. He was responsible for coordinating the entire CCS Winter Concert.

Other strong points are the level of maturity Mahi exhibits when taking constructive criticism and advocating for himself.

If he needs to revise a task or doesn’t understand a concept, he asks for clarification. He is confident, without being prideful; nor is he afraid to ask for support when tackling a new skill. He understands that growth happens through trial and error.

Mahi appreciates a challenge. So as to broaden his learning, he willingly went out of his comfort zone. This is why for his 8th grade year, he enrolled in two high school level courses, Spanish and Advanced Algebra, as well as a Zero period elective, Symphonic Band. Mahi has played clarinet for the past four years. Furthermore, he participated in this year’s DUSD science fair. His composting project earned him an entry at the county level. In addition to his engagement in academia, Mahi is currently a member of Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee. He participated in the ad-hoc Youth Mental Health Forum, and is presently serving on both the Benefit Concert and Hackathon sub-committees. These are just a few testaments to his desire for self-improvement and his commitment to excellence to better himself and our community.

Mahi’s goal for the Youth Advisory Committee, if he were to be chosen, is to address teens’ mental health problems, by developing coping strategies for young people. It is evident that Mahi keeps his priorities in order. Thus, I can say unequivocally that Mahidhara Sudeendra should be honored with a position on the 2022-2023 Dublin Youth Advisory Committee. Mahi’s internal drive to contribute to his community, in conjunction with his educational and social aptitudes would make him an outstanding representative for the city of Dublin.

Sincerely,

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I am a very very outspoken person. I enjoy public speaking and love discussing ideas with people who have different perspectives. Compromise is one of the skills I am working on, but I have been getting a lot better over the past school year, and have learned to admit my faults. I am also a very organized person. I plan ahead and am very thorough in my thought process, diligently thinking through every action. I am very responsible and manage my time well, making sure to delegate my time and enthusiasm to the things in my life that I find important. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I know I, personally, have struggled with bullying and mental health. This issue among teens has already been talked about within the Committee, but I think it is such a large and overarching topic, that it can be addressed again. The Mental Health Forum was a great starting point, but connecting with more teens, possibly in a school setting, may be beneficial. Also, sexual harrasment is something I and many of my peers face, even in a middle school setting. I think this is a very pressing issue that needs to be addressed at some level. I really don’t want youth to be given lectures about these things, but rather, to be included in discussions and activities to bring awareness. Teens don’t want to be talked at. They want their voices heard as well.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I am currently involved in my school’s Leadership program. We plan and create events for the school such as dances, rallies, and fundraisers. I am also a part of a musical theater company. Both of these do take time from my schedule, but I am very organized and I have always been able to set aside time for important things. YAC is a very large responsibility, but one I will take wholeheartedly. So, in summary, yes, I will be able to devote my time to meetings and activities.

How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I believe the Youth Advisory Committee has a social media page, which is a smart marketing strategy that my school’s leadership class has done before. I think it would be great to promote that page more. In my school, we had posters and flyers up in a lot of spots that students frequently crossed. This led to students eventually recognizing the page and following it. The YAC social media page can, and should, be seen as a source for ways to stay informed about what events are happening in our city. If students see it as a fun page to check regularly, we can have greater participation in events, which subsequently betters our community.

Dear the Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee:

I have taught Chloe Brandt for all 3 of her Middle School years, one year in Physical Education, and 2 years in the Leadership program. She would be a wonderful addition to your Committee.

Chloe is an intelligent young woman with a strong passion for being a leader. She is organized, motivated, and very mature for her age. She is very well-spoken and she feels comfortable speaking in front of small and large groups. Her classmates respect her and look up to her to get things done or to have good ideas. With a drive to make a positive difference in our school community, she volunteers her time when help is needed. She is able to balance many responsibilities and is always very reliable. She has an inner strength and will stand up for what is right in the world and for how people are being treated.

Chloe has also been the Wells Middle School Student Body President this year. I have seen her take this role seriously, and she is striving to be the best role model possible to all of our students here. This position definitely suits her and it is a joy to see her shine in it.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Chloe Brandt for a position on the Committee. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at Respectfully,
Wells Middle School
Leadership Advisor
Physical Education Teacher
606
To the Individuals Responsible for the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee Appointments,
I am extremely pleased to recommend Chloe Brandt for consideration on the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee. I have known Chloe for most of her life – since she was a toddler – as a close friend of her family. During this time, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Chloe grow into a kind and caring young person who strongly believes in community service and civic engagement.

When I asked Chloe about taking on this role, in addition to her other commitments and her dedication to scholastic excellence, she spoke of wanting to represent Dublin youth and of being a catalyst for positive change in the community. She cares deeply about issues affecting Dublin today, such as bullying and mental health awareness, and hopes to bring focus to these issues on a larger scale on YAC.

Chloe has worked to represent her peers in a variety of ways through the Dublin school system, including Student Council and Leadership class. She is an engaged and enthusiastic participant in this service and has remained dedicated to her work over several years. Chloe sees this appointment as an opportunity to serve the broader Dublin community – not only to represent Dublin youth, but also to help young people in Dublin recognize the number of pathways for community engagement available to them.

As someone who has devoted my life to public service, I know the dedication and initiative necessary for a selected representative to succeed in their role throughout their term. I’ve witnessed Chloe’s dedication and initiative firsthand. When I was looking for a primary babysitter for my young family, I inquired into Chloe’s interest for the position.

She proactively acquired first aid and CPR certification – as well as completion of a baby-sitting course – then scheduled an initial interview with myself and my partner, where she asked a series of thorough and thought-provoking questions that left me confident we were entrusting our children’s care to a responsible young person. In the months that have followed she has reaffirmed that conclusion, bringing a combination of responsibility and enthusiasm that make her a favorite of both the adults and the children of the house.

I can think of no one more worthy, or better suited, to fill this position. I strongly encourage you to consider appointing Chloe to the Youth Advisory Committee, where she can continue to utilize her passion for service on behalf of the Dublin community.

Sincerely,
Erin Steffen
Dublin Resident

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Skills I possess that would make me a strong candidate for the YAC are organizing, planning events, and taking up leadership positions. I have been doing the Leadership program offered by Wells Middle School for 7th and 8th grade, and I even did student council during elementary school. I plan to continue being involved in Leadership at the high school. Throughout the years, I’ve been able to learn how to plan and execute events for these programs with success. I believe I can utilize these skills to make me a strong candidate for the YAC.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I believe an issue teens in Dublin are currently dealing with is a lack of socialization out of school hours and activities. Due to the recent pandemic, it was difficult for teens to hang out with their peers, and events in Dublin were more limited. I think the YAC could address this issue by holding various events similar to the St. Patrick’s Festival. I thought the outcome of the festival was extremely successful since I saw a lot of participation from my classmates and many people wanted to go. An additional contributor to the event’s success was due to its in-person component. So, an event that requires and focuses on inperson student participation like this would certainly improve this issue. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* For the 2022-2023 school year, I will be involved in Dublin High’s Leadership program. I hope to join some clubs as well to be active within the school’s community. Outside of school, I will be doing karate around two times a week. However, I will still be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I would get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities by utilizing my social media platforms to promote these events. Apps such as Instagram make it easy to inform others about these things. They would also be able to forward the details to their friends and classmates. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

7. Provide at least one signed letter of recommendation from a non-family member (i.e. employer, counselor, teacher, coach, etc.). The letter of recommendation should be submitted with the application and must be received by the application deadline; otherwise, the application will be incomplete. 609

1. Why do you want to become a member of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)?* I want to become a member of the City of Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee because this is a platform that represents the teen voices within Dublin. Primarily, the opinions of teenagers aren’t considered when it comes to deciding upon important issues or problems within a city. However, the City of Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee provides the unique opportunity for the voices of teenagers within Dublin to be heard and represented. I want to become a member of the Youth Advisory Committee for three primary reasons which revolve around advocating, serving, and driving youth civic engagement.

The Youth Advisory Committee provides a platform for issues within Dublin's community to be resolved by a group of teenagers. Along with the preeminent ability to incorporate the voices of the Youth within the decisions made by the city, this platform also gives its members the chance to represent and advocate for different issues that may occur. As a member of the Youth Advisory Committee, you would have the special opportunity to bring attention to the problems that occur within society, while retaining the ability to alleviate the problems faced at a city-wide level. This unique and special opportunity offered to the members of the Youth Advisory Committee drives my interest in becoming a member of this committee. By becoming a member, I would have the ability to represent and address the issues faced by the communities and the people that I would represent at a city-wide level.

On top of the ability to represent the people within my community, I would have the opportunity to serve the community of Dublin. I believe that giving back to your community is an essential part of being a good citizen, which also influences a large number of the activities that I pursue outside of my academic life. For example, I created an organization called Elderly Care Everywhere, which was an organization that helped to alleviate loneliness and isolation for senior citizens within our community. This organization gave me the experience and the chance to give back to a specific part of my community, however, the Youth Advisory Committee presents the opportunity of taking this a step further. By being a part of the Youth Advisory Committee, you give back to the community and the people of Dublin, which is a special opportunity that contributes to my interest in becoming a member for the Youth Advisory Committee.

The final piece that influences my interest within the Youth Advisory Committee is civic engagement from teens in Dublin. As I stated earlier, a majority of cities don’t offer the ability for teens to have a role within the government of a city. However, the city of Dublin provides the unique opportunity to boost teen civic engagement within the city's government. On top of teens having the chance to influence the decisions made at a city-wide level, they also have the ability to drive youth civic engagement.

One essential fact that drives my interest in becoming a member within this committee is teens' influence. This means that the members who are elected onto the Youth Advisory Committee can influence their peers and drive youth civic engagement within the city of Dublin. By becoming a member of this committee, I would have the ability to boost youth civic engagement, give back to my community and best represent the people.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I believe I would be an excellent candidate for the Youth Advisory Committee for two primary reasons. As a student at Dublin High, my love of rigor and wanting to be academically challenged is evident in the course load I have charted to take in high school. I have academically challenged myself through pursuing courses such as Honors Chemistry, Precalculus, and AP Computer Science Principles as a freshman. Although being in these classes has come at the cost of missing out on the opportunity to interact with other freshmen, they have given me the experience of learning and collaborating with numerous upperclassmen. These classes have provided me with the unique experience of communicating and learning in unfamiliar environments, which is a necessary skill for the YAC. I believe that the YAC revolves around the ability to collaborate with others, getting a wide variety of opinions on the issues discussed, and allowing everybody to have their voices heard.

Communication and Collaboration are two essential skills needed to become a strong candidate for the YAC. These are two skills I have had the opportunity to develop a foundation within the numerous activities that I have pursued throughout my journey within Dublin. One instance of these skills within my life is seen through my journey within debate and the Dublin High Debate Team. My first experience with the debate was during middle school. However, the principles of debate have transformed my life over the last three years, while developing my foundation within analytical thinking, collaboration, and communication. These skills are essential within an ideal candidate for the Youth Advisory Committee because they create a stronger bond between the 16 members of the YAC. As a candidate for the Youth Advisory Committee, I bring my experience within communication and collaboration in unfamiliar environments, which allows for unity within the members that make up the committee. This allows for the youth of Dublin to stand as a united front and work towards the overall growth of the city of Dublin.

Outside of my educational life, I have taken a variety of leadership positions with Dublin, which would make me an ideal candidate for the Youth Advisory Committee. For instance, during the summer of 2020, I recognized that the senior citizens within our community were increasingly isolated, which began to affect our senior citizen’s physical and mental health. To tackle this problem, I created an organization called Elderly Care Everywhere, whose mission was to help senior citizens connect with others within their community, while allowing them to partake in a variety of activities like online socialization meetings, bingo, and our pen pal program. This relates to why I would be the ideal candidate for the Youth Advisory Committee because this demonstrates the leadership and passion that I have displayed throughout the city of Dublin. The Youth Advisory Committee serves as a platform for teens to advocate for the people of Dublin and provides the opportunity to represent the different voices within Dublin. If I was a member of the Youth Advisory Committee, I would have the ability to take action upon the various problems that exist within Dublin, while contributing the perspective of a freshman in high school.

In 2021, I was able to host a Valentine’s Day Card Drive, which allowed us to collect over 700 handmade valentine cards that were donated to essential workers during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. We had the opportunity to donate these cards to the Bay Area Community Health Center, the workers at Safeway and Trader Joe's, the Dublin Police Precinct, multiple fire stations across Dublin, and Mayor Hernandez. These activities demonstrate my passion and drive towards the city and people of Dublin, which would reinforce my candidacy for the YAC. As a result of the work, I conducted within the city of Dublin in 2020 and 2021, I was nominated for the Dublin Young Citizen of the Year Award in 2020 and 2021. This serves as a testament to my passion for the city of Dublin, which reflects in my candidacy for the Youth Advisory Committee.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
Unfortunately, the teens within Dublin are plagued with a plethora of issues that have been thrust into the spotlight after the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although our community has begun to move past and heal after the drastic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the teens within Dublin were affected in a variety of ways, which is something that the YAC can alleviate. To begin, one of the toughest problems that teens face is the drastic change from distance learning to in-person learning. This sudden change invoked a strong emotional response from the teenagers within Dublin and created a large variety of problems for the teenagers of Dublin. The transition from school was undoubtedly rough and caused the teens in Dublin to struggle with their mental health, to struggle with all of their feelings and caused teens to struggle with the complication of in-person schooling. The decision to return to in-person learning was announced months ago, which prompted a considerable number of resources to be offered to the students at DHS. Although this effort was able to accomplish the first parts of recovery for the teens at DHS, the YAC has the ability to take this initiative a step further and offer these resources for teenagers across Dublin. If I was a member of the YAC, I would utilize the platform that we had the opportunity to use and promote different resources that the teens in Dublin can use. Even though a variety of resources are offered for teens, a large majority of teens aren’t aware that these resources exist, which can be changed through action from the YAC.

Another prevalent problem that plagues teens within Dublin is the confusion that surrounds Emerald High School. The entire community is overjoyed for the arrival of Emerald High and can't wait for the new school to open. Amidst the joy and excitement the Dublin community feels, teenagers within our community feel confused and worried in regards to the arrival of the new school. Although, teens are overjoyed for the creation of the new high school, they are confused about transferring to Emerald High School if they are a student at Dublin High. Unfortunately, there are a large number of myths traversing around the community about what would happen to teens who would be going to Emerald High based on their location, but are currently students at Dublin High School. Principally, a large number of teens are confused about the creation of the Emerald high and transferring there, if they were originally a student at Dublin High.

Thankfully, the Youth Advisory Committee can assist these students by using their platform to advocate for these teens and alleviate their confusion. If I was selected to be a part of the Youth Advisory Committee, I would advocate for meetings with the Dublin Unified Board and the city council to help bring some clarity into this situation. Using the platform and resources at the disposal of the Youth Advisory Committee, the myths surrounding the arrival of the new high school can easily be dispelled and we can best assist any students who are confused about the addition of the new high school within our community.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* During the 2022-2023 school year, I'm taking a step back from the extracurriculars I have pursued throughout the 2021-2022 school year. This allows me to focus on the activities that mean the most to me and will allow me to be a better citizen within Dublin. Next year, I will be continuing my work with senior citizens through Elderly Care Everywhere, which is an organization dedicated to preventing senior isolation. Furthermore, I will maintain my presence with Dublin High School's Debate Team and will continue to be an avid participant of these activities.

I am choosing to pursue the two aforementioned activities in the 2022-2023 school year because these are two activities that allow me to contribute to my community and help me be the best citizen of Dublin that I can possibly be. By continuing my journey with Elderly Care Everywhere, I can take this platform to new heights and best assist the senior citizens within our community. Even as we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, loneliness and isolation have always been prevalent problems for senior citizens. By continuing and expanding upon the mission of Elderly Care Everywhere, we can continue our work to prevent senior isolation and best benefit our community. Over the next year, we have the ability to revolutionize life for senior citizens within Dublin, which is why this is an activity that I will continue to pursue. Furthermore, I will continue my journey within Debate because this is a platform that gives me the opportunity to best assist incoming debaters with their journey through this event. When I first joined debate, I was assisted by multiple sophomores and juniors who helped guide my journey within the complex realm of debate. I want to give back to the community that helped me reach where I am today, by assisting the incoming debaters.

I don’t believe that these activities would take away from the work that I would be able to do at the YAC because these activities would only further my ability to assist the community of Dublin. The primary mission of the Youth Advisory Committee is to best offer their services to the community of Dublin and to boost youth civic engagement within Dublin. I believe that my experiences within debate and Elderly Care Everywhere would increase my contributions to the Youth Advisory Committee because I would be bringing the opinions of two very diverse demographics to the committee. This would allow for a wide array of opinions to be considered and included within the decision made regarding anything that this committee would discuss. Even though the activities I am attempting to pursue may become difficult at times, I know that I will have the time required for the events and meetings hosted by the Youth Advisory Committee. One of my key strengths that has allowed me to balance my social, academic and extracurricular life is organization. This means that I can plan ahead for the events that are hosted by the YAC, while managing the other aspects of my life. My organizational and time management skills will help me plan ahead for the meetings that occur, but also serve as a huge asset to the Youth Advisory Committee. These skills are important in a committee that represents the people because this would allow us to move forward in an efficient manner, while best serving the people of Dublin.

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* If I was a part of the Youth Advisory Committee, I would increase youth engagement through appealing to their interests and capturing the latest trends within the methods we would utilize to promote these events. Fundamentally, the marketing that is primarily used to promote events is relatively outdated and doesn’t accurately reflect the interests of the individuals that we are trying to engage. Unfortunately, the marketing that tends to be used to promote these events seems unappealing or doesn’t generate as much youth interest as the city may like. If I was a member of the Youth Advisory Committee, I would bring on the perspective of a freshman in Dublin High School and would provide the perspective of a 14 year old within our marketing campaigns. Although the Youth Advisory Committee is composed from different areas of Dublin, the marketing campaigns fall short of generating youth civic interest within the events that are hosted. Along with the perspective of a 14 year old freshman in Dublin High School, I believe that we have to appeal to the interests of the teens in the community to best generate the response that we look for in terms of Youth Civic Engagement.

A few ideas that I have regarding the promotion of these events to the youth of Dublin include the incorporation of nft’s within the programs that we attempt to spread. Although, this may sound unconventional, the use of nft’s within marketing campaigns for the city would cause youth civic engagement rates to skyrocket because we would be appealing to the interests of teens.

By giving every teen that participates in the events an NFT, we would incentivize the teens of Dublin to participate in the events and drive teen participation.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Skills that make a strong candidate for YAC are my versatility, dedication, persistence and passion. As I have taken part in multiple extracurriculars, I have a wide variety of skills under my belt, including various soft-skills. Through my participation in teams such as my high school’s JV Girls Basketball team, robotics team, and Orchestra for the past two years, I have developed the soft-skills of communication and teamwork as well as physical skills such as hand-eye coordination. As a previous YAC member, I have developed leadership skills. In addition to participating in these extracurriculars, I take advanced classes in school as well which puts my time management skills to the test. Persistence is an important trait which I have used to develop my daily skills and my strong work ethic. One of my hobbies is playing the piano, which has been a hobby since I was 5, and it has taught me valuable lessons in patience and dedication. When learning a new song, I have learned that I can not play perfectly on the first attempt. I know that accomplishments cannot be created immediately, that one needs to work hard at it. I started playing the violin in seventh grade, in my school’s beginning orchestra where I was able to pick up the violin quite quickly and decided to audition for an advanced orchestra the next year, even though four years of experience was recommended. Yet, with persistence and my quick learning skills, I made it in. My versatility enhanced through my various experiences make me a strong candidate as I bring a wide array knowledge and skills to the table and will be able to apply this knowledge to help the voices of my peers be heard through YAC. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
Teenagers in Dublin, I believe, are currently struggling with mental stress problems primarily due to daily life returning to a resemblance of pre-COVID. After two years of daily activities being restricted due to COVID, I know my peers are struggling to return to life that is not entirely behind a computer screen, school where questions about a topic could be answered through a quick Google search instead of actually speaking with a teacher. YAC could help solve this problem by raising awareness about it and organizing activities, an avenue for teenagers that will help them socialize more and regain the ability to speak with others more than just send emails or private questions in the messages of a Zoom meeting. Another problem I think teens face is that some of our voices and viewpoints are not being heard because we are uncomfortable expressing our thoughts to others and projecting our opinions is difficult. YAC can assist in resolving this issue by providing an easily accessible forum for teens to express their opinions, such as a blog or podcast where teens can submit their thoughts on a given subject or an inperson forum such as the 2021 Mental Health Forum where experts were brought in to talk about mental health issues and provide outlets for teens, places and ways they would be able to solve their problems or cope with them. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* Extracurricular athletics and school clubs are two things that I am currently active in. I'm a member of Dublin High's STEM Femme club's graphic design unit, where we learn about and promote women in STEM fields. I am a part of the Gael Force Robotics Development Team as well. Piano, violin, and computer programming lessons, as well as basketball, are all extracurricular events that I engage in. Because of my time management skills, I will be able to prioritize my tasks in addition to my schoolwork, enabling me to devote as much time as possible to YAC meetings and activities.

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* Personally, I would use social media and group chats to encourage other teens to be interested in the school, teen events, and City sponsored activities. I know other teenagers who would enjoy engaging in such activities as we are returning to our “normal” world, the one before COVID-19, and return to our previous activities with group gatherings. By spreading information to my peers, I will be able to get more youth interested as well as raise their awareness that such events are occurring as I know that these events are not very popular; I had not been aware that these events were taking place before I joined YAC. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* I have attended all the YAC meetings for the 2021-2022 term as a committee member where we mainly talked about the events we were hosting such as the Mental Health Forum, the Youth Hack-a-thon, and the Youth Benefit Concert. We also talked about volunteering at events like the Tri-Valley Youth Job Fair, the St. Patrick’s Day Festival, the Spring Eggstravaganza, and the Harvest Fair. The dates for these meetings were 08/25/2021, 09/22/2021, 10/27/2021, 11/17/2021, 12/15/2021, 01/26/2022, and 02/23/2022. I also attended the ad-hoc committee meeting for the Youth Benefit Concert on 02/09/2022 where we talked about how to spread the word about the event to gain performers. In these meetings, I was mainly interested in how I would be able to help my community by volunteering as well as how I would be of help in planning these events as well.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is my privilege to have Esha Shenoy in my Sophomore Advanced English class this year. As a tenth-grader, she demonstrates exceptional social and intellectual maturity.

She also has the social skills and discipline necessary to work well with other students in collaborative groups. On many occasions I noticed that her help was welcomed by other less sure students in these settings. She works effectively in groups, taking leadership roles, always insisting on sharing and completing thoughtful work -- skills and abilities that will serve her well in future academic and workplace settings.

Esha also has a kind heart and truly wants to help others. Just this week, a fellow classmate was having a difficult time and asked to go outside. Esha sprang into action and asked to go talk with the other student. She stayed with her friend even though it meant she would have to complete the in class assignment for homework. That is the type of person Esha is. She is willing to do more so that the people around her are taken care of.

Esha has many admirable goals, continuing her service as a member of the Youth Advisory Committee among them. With her combination of intellectual skills, motivation and social maturity, she will flourish in committee such as yours. You will not be disappointed. I give Esha Shenoy my highest recommendation.

To Whom It May Concern:

I had the pleasure of coaching Esha Shenoy on the Dublin High School JV Girls basketball team for the 2021-2022 season. And I highly recommend her for the Youth Advisory Committee.

Esha is a dynamic student and player. She maintained her extracurriculars while taking a challenging academic course load. She is a part of the school’s orchestra and taking on AP European History, one of the tougher choices a sophomore can make at DHS. In addition to this, she contributed to the Youth Mental Health forum and is part of the planning for the Youth Hack-a-thon.

On the court, she showed determination and teamwork. No matter the game-time situation or who she was up against, Esha always gave it her all. The improvement I saw this season let me know that she was listening and processing every day at practice.

I fully believe Esha would be a wonderful addition to any community she belongs to, whether as a volunteer, student, or colleague.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* In general, I am hardworking, persistent, and persevering! I am a quick learner and I adapt readily to new environments; even though I am not yet too familiar with the procedures of YAC as it is my first year applying, once I become more familiar with the process, I will do my absolute best to excel in whatever I need to do! I am a quick learner, so it will not be difficult for me to get used to new processes. I work well by a schedule with planned dates in advance, but I am also flexible and can work without feeling pressured in spontaneity if needed, as I've now become used to working under fluctuating schedules from previous activities. I'm punctual and organized, and I will always show up a few minutes early to events! As mentioned earlier, I've had prior experience from other activities that I have been committed to which have required me to perform tasks such as attend regular meetings, collaborate with others to plan and brainstorm, arrange events, work under pressure and approaching deadlines, and more!

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
One issue that I had in mind was the lack of awareness of volunteering opportunities; many teens in Dublin are looking for ways to serve the community, but there is not a lot of promotion of these activities as far as I have witnessed. I believe this is a topic that YAC is able to address and discuss methods to improve publicity of events and activities going on in the community to benefit teens who are currently seeking out opportunities. In addition, I believe we may also be capable of discussing new, original ideas of activities to further benefit teens who want to get involved!

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* As of the 2021-2022 school year, I am currently a member in my school's Key Club and Drama Club, as well as the role of Stage Manager for our spring production. I also do piano and violin outside of school. For the 2022-2023 school year, I am continuing all of my current activities and serving as the new Project Chair for Key Club, and I will be a FMP (Freshman Mentor Program) mentor. Even though I will have several regular commitments after school, I should be able to attend all regularly scheduled meetings at the end of each month. I understand that there may be instances where additional events will occur; my schedule is generally flexible and I will be able to prioritize YAC meetings over any other conflicts given one day's notice in advance.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I have been involved in leadership, yearbook, and drama where I have had much familiarity with advertising in general! I am familiar with methods of promotion in terms of tactical use and appeal to the audience. That being said, I am able to incorporate basic knowledge of methods for this in general. To be more specific, I am able to help with promotion by through my school; Even if I will not be able to reach everyone in a school of more than 3,000 students, it will be easy for me to promote community-related events through several audiences in activities I am involved in! Casually speaking, I am also easily able to share information with peers and people that I am in contact with. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* I have not yet attended a YAC meeting.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* My main strengths of qualities would be my use of communication and enthusiasm. Being a part of the USA Women's Cricket Elite Team, participating in tournaments across many countries such as Mexico and Zimbabwe, observing and learning from players from different countries, captaining the U19 team, and winning the first-ever National Championship, I have grown my communication and adaptability traits. I am always willing to work with people and often find myself in leadership roles, which makes volunteering such a pleasurable act for me. I believe that using a voice is insignificant unless used to cause change. I have carried this belief during my 2021-2022 year, and it is the same mindset that I will continue to carry on if accepted into the council again.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
As a current sophomore and upcoming junior at Dublin High School, I have noticed how students have been affected by academic stress. The Youth Advisory Committee could be in contact with Dublin High School and help them arrange on and off-campus activities to help teens deal with their stress. This issue could also tie in volunteer events that would allow for a stress-free environment and teenagers participating in city-wide events. On-campus events such as having pets on campus to help deal with stress and YAC coordinating with DHS staff to ensure more "No Homework Nights." Off-campus activities would involve whatever city events are being planned, allowing students to take some time off from school, help their community, and gain volunteering credits they seek.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I spend most of my time playing cricket since I now represent the USA Women's Cricket Team as the youngest player. Not only that, but I have been a member of the Biomedical Academy for two years in Dublin High. I also spend 3 hours weekly volunteering at the San Ramon Medical Center, helping patients and staff members with their errands. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize YAC events. As I enjoy and dedicate my time to preparing for committee events and ensuring that each meeting is productive. I always feel accomplished when I attend and learn from the YAC meetings. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* To get teens involved in community events, I observed the relevance of how, when, and where the occasions are publicized and marketed. For example, if YAC events were informed to students on the Dublin High campus during school announcements and emails to know about upcoming events, more teenagers would be involved. The city can post the events on social media to attract more teens to them. Interactive activities on occasions would allow for teenagers to be excited about volunteering, as well as them being rewarded with volunteering hours.

The meeting environment has always kept everyone involved in conversations, and my peers and I are free to get any discussion necessary to the table. The most recent meeting I have attended was on Wednesday, March 23rd of, 2022. This meeting covered many insightful topics about Dublin, and I was so thankful to take part in this educated group of people. We discussed and planned out future events in this meeting, including the Cultural Arts Center Business Plan. The outcome of this meeting was me being graciously voted into representing the Ad Hoc Committee to support the development of Cultural Arts in Dublin. This is an immense honor for me, and I am looking forward to holding all responsibility for further cultural awareness production in Dublin. Most recently, I have attended Dublin City council meetings for the Fallon sports park master plan as it activates and facilitates youth to participate in diversified sports activities that can one day allow them to represent the country, state, and their city. If reaccepted, I hope to further my impact on Dublin as a second-year Youth Council Member in the next term.

To Whom it May Concern
Re: Ms. Anika Kolan’s Re-application to Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee Please accept this letter as an endorsement for Ms. Anika Kolan’s re-application to the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee.

I have known Ms. Kolan since she was 10 years old as a keen and budding cricketer. At the time, I was representing the USA national cricket team and coaching at a local youth cricket academy – East Bay Youth Cricket Association.

Since 2018, I have been serving as a board member of USA Cricket, the national governing body for the sport in the United States of America.

Ms. Kolan’s passion for cricket stood out among the many local boys who also played cricket in her school and community. It was clear to me that her passion and dedication to being a student of the game would not only make her a successful cricketer but also a successful citizen in her community and wherever she goes.

Her strong communication skills and leadership qualities are just a couple of the reasons why she was chosen to be the Under 19 West Zone captain at the USA Cricket Under 19 National Championship in 2021. These skills would transfer into her role on the Youth Advisory Committee as I am confident she has already demonstrated, and put her in good stead to be an ambassador for the community and the constituents it serves.

Ms. Kolan is a diligent and high-performing student, and has unquestionable abilities to fundraise, champion community efforts and causes, and evaluate programs for effectiveness.

It goes without saying that as a young, USA national cricketer, Ms. Kolan is placed perfectly to create awareness and generate interests in Dublin, for cricket and other sports for girls.

I unreservedly support Ms. Kolan’s re-application to the Youth Advisory Committee, to continue to build upon the great work she has done.

Kind regards,
Nadia T. Gruny
Board Director, USA Cricket
Chair, Women and Girls Committee

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* During my current term as a Youth Advisory Committee member, I was able to utilize many of my skills such as leadership, time management, dedication, and commitment. As a member of YAC, I volunteered my time when a representative from YAC was needed, such as the youth mental health, attended the Fall Round Table Event, and volunteered at several events such as the St, Patrick’s Day festival. I have never missed a shift unless I notify someone of my absence before, so I am reliable, dedicated, and committed to the Committee. Additionally, as a junior in high school, I have had to manage my time juggling academics and YAC as this year has been rigorous, but I have managed to allot time for YAC and not miss more than 2 meetings in the span of 8 months. All these skills make me a well-rounded candidate and will definitely assist the success of the Youth Advisory Committee if I am selected.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I believe that the two main issue teens in Dublin are currently dealing with is mental health and staying connected with the community. Factors such as school, extracurriculars, and pressures from adults greatly impact the youth today, especially in an academically driven city like Dublin. Many teens find these pressures overwhelming and may start to have depressive episodes or develop anxiety revolving around the stresses in their lives. YAC focuses on what the community of youth needs currently, so we could create events to destigmatize talking about mental health and reaching out for help, as well as provide a time for a teen to destress and forget about other worries in their lives. One event, in particular, would be another youth mental health forum. In November of 2021, the 5 ad hoc members of the Youth Mental Health Forum (including myself) put together a successful event that gave youth as well as adults to come to a safe place and learn more from panelists who work with youth regularly. We encouraged teens to speak up about their own personal experiences with mental health to simply provide support, and if needed, advice. This would also help address the issue of staying connected with the community, but there is more that could be done. Putting together events such as carnivals, fairs, and speaker events would be appealing to teens in Dublin and they would be able to further make interpersonal connections with other teens in the city through these bonding events.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* As a rising senior, I will have college applications in the fall but I will make sure to allot time for YAC meetings and will definitely participate in events that we host and have to volunteer for, as I would like to stay involved in the community while still applying to college. I am a volunteer as a teen advisor for a program called Teen Talk, and my role is to help out other teens take control of their social and emotional health by providing an easy way for them to get help from the group of people they trust most, their peers. We are trained to help users with anxiety, depression, family issues, and much more. However, this commitment will not interfere with YAC meetings as I have been sure to self-select my shifts so they won’t overlap. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* School is the best place for teens to hear about events, as this is a communal environment. Being part of the ad-hoc team for the Youth Mental Health Forum, we were required to advertise and find ways to spread the word about the event. We made sure to talk to the high school and both middle schools as this was our target audience and put up flyers at the schools to encourage attendance at the event. I believe that the main way to get teens involved is to generate publicity and exposure, and this can be done through social media posts since it is a large part of teenager life.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I consider myself to be a team leader, a communicator that’s open to speaking for the youth of our city. Look, I like talking about solutions to the problems we face, I like being a problem solver by leading others & taking the initiative. Earlier this year, I was entrusted to lead & monitor the discussion of our yearly Mini-Grant Program to the entire committee. When we learned that most of the organizations wouldn’t receive the full amount they requested, we took time to discuss where we should disperse the funds. In the end, we gave away a total of $2500 to local nonprofits & organizations, with every applicant receiving at least some grant money. It was an effort of teamwork, a respectful discussion that allowed us to allocate the funds equitably for each project. I’m also involved within the community. For example, when it comes to public engagement events, I’m proud to show up, give my opinion, ask questions, and receive information that the city wants me to know. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work. I think that, for the Youth Advisory Committee, it’s useful to be able to take in information & act upon it, especially with a group like this. I know that I’ll be able to accomplish all of this on the Committee, and I’ll gladly listen & work with other committee members to help form a more inclusive, respectful environment during our meetings. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
As we’ve returned to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year, there are still many issues affecting our youth due to the effects of the pandemic. Many of our youth are still suffering from signs of depression & anxiety, even to a point where our nation’s Surgeon General has called it an “urgent public health crisis”. The mental health crisis isn’t a joke, and it’s a serious problem that our public leaders must address. I’ve led the effort to solve this problem in the community, because when our school district publicly declares in their data report that more than a quarter of our students feel like they’ve “had feelings of hopelessness/ depression”, “feeling unsafe in school”, and an alarming 10% say that have “considered committing suicide” in the past year, we must be doing more the youth in our city. During my time as Vice Chair, I proposed the formation of a Youth Mental Health Forum to be held here in Dublin, allowing the ability for our youth to learn more about our mental health. It was a success, with many students across the Tri-Valley attending the event, asking questions, speaking out, and even sharing stories about their mental health. I’ve worked with other mental health clubs such as the Elephant in the Room Project, the OCD Truth, and the Bring Change to Mind Organization to inform our students of resources that can help bring them out of depression. I truly believe that, with support from the Youth Advisory Committee, we can continue to enact a meaningful discussion among mental health across the community, for all of Dublin’s youth. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I am currently involved on Dublin High’s Track & Field Team, and I will also be on the Cross Country team later this Fall. Late last year, I joined the Dublin Mayor’s Council (DMC), a selective group of students interested in working with the Mayor to help promote community engagement across Dublin. Throughout the school year, I have been a proud member of amazing mental awareness clubs such as Dublin’s Bring Change to Mind Club & The DMC’s Elephant in the Project for the past three years, and I’ll be continuing to help improve mental health conditions at DHS next year. I’m committed to holding myself to high academic standards, being a member of Dublin’s California Scholarship Federation, National Honors Society, and Spanish Honors Society. I will commit to being a member in each of these clubs next, possibly in an executive position (if elected!).

Despite all of these responsibilities, I will be fully committed and will devote time each month to the Youth Advisory Committee meetings and activities.

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* The best way to get other teens involved in our events is with volunteer opportunities. While volunteering is no longer a requirement for our diploma options at Dublin High, it is still nice for the city to provide our youth the opportunity to complete community service work through the events we put on as a committee. Volunteer service is still a requirement for many of our top clubs at Dublin High School, and many students are looking locally to fulfill that requirement. Understanding these situations, the Youth Advisory Committee has done exactly this with our projects in the past year. We’ve attracted dozens of youth volunteers across the city to help participate in ensuring our event’s success. Another small thing we’ve done to promote outreach is by providing snacks, huge emphasis on snacks! It’s a great way to reward our youth for showing up! We can also gain more involvement with social media advertisements personally/through the City, school PFC newsletters, and local media to inform not just the youth, but their parents as well. For example, the Youth Advisory Committee hosted a Mental Health Forum last November, having more than 75 teens & parents across the Tri-Valley attending the event after advertisements across the city. By providing these opportunities, we’re more than likely to receive quality engagement from our youth. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

I have also been an active viewer of every Planning Commission & City Council meeting since the start of the pandemic in 2020, usually listening to them as background noise while working on school work. It’s a fun hobby at this point! I always like seeing what our local public servants are doing, since after all they are supposed to represent us! Earlier this February, I was interested in Item 7.1 about the Preferred Plan the City Council wanted to adopt. As a resident that lives close to the property, I was interested in seeing how our Council would accept the plan after months of dedicated outreach to stakeholders, residents (such as me!), and businesses in the community. After some public comment from residents, the item passed by a 3-1 vote from the Council.

To Whom It May Concern,:

It is with great pleasure that I am able to write this letter of recommendation for Brandon Maskey. I have known Brandon for eight months as a current student in my English 3 course. My goal for this letter is to highlight and expound on his attributes that will make her a valuable and successful addition to Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee I believe that I am able to shed light on Brandon academically and socially because of the level of interactions we had throughout the past year. He is an incredibly driven individual and does not shy away from asking for help when necessary. Brandon shows empathy for others in collaborative work; his willingness to step up as a leader, and at the same time, his willingness to let others lead is readily apparent in class. Brandon was often the group leader in activities and helped his group engage in discussions. He consistently puts in effort in all that he does and the quality is evident in his grades and rapport with me and his peers.

From my time spent with Brandon, I learned that he is determined and engaged in his own learning and goals. What is noteworthy about Brandon, especially with juggling school work, publishing in the Dublin Shield, our school newspaper, and wanting to take this opportunity with the YAC, he is focused on staying organized and completing his tasks with a high level of insight. In this light, Brandon shows a tremendous amount of initiative and personal drive to succeed. He is self-driven and motivated to meet his goals and I believe this is a quality that will serve him well in the future.

Please feel free to contact me to shed more light on Brandon’s academic potential and beyond.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I would be a strong candidate for the YAC because of my dedication, creativity, and leadership. I am dedicated because I am very persistent and will keep trying without giving up. I have been running distance track and cross country at DHS since my freshmen year and that has helped me by teaching me to stay dedicated and persist after long-term goals. I am creative because I am good at brainstorming and coming up with unique ideas. My approach to everything is analytical and this can be demonstrated through my experience in taking Engineering courses throughout high school. We are often given a certain task to complete and we have to come up with a solution that creatively solves the task better then our classmates while fitting into given constraints. This thought me to be creative and try to think outside box but still make sure to follow instructions. Lastly I have leadership skills which allows for me to be a leader to my peers and make important decisions. I have experience as a math tutor which has taught me how to take charge of a group and look at each individual to see how they approach things and their perspective.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
There are a variety of issues teens in Dublin are currently experiencing which I've noticed through personal experience or what I've seen. One major issue I've seen is a lack of motivation or a sense or apathy towards what goes on in the world and in their own future. A lot of the people I see that are unsuccessful in school aren't unsuccessful because they aren't smart enough or just can't do it. It's because they simply don't care about school, they don't do their homework at all or study for tests.

Something we can do give this is people a more direct idea of what they want to do with their futures. We already have a career fair but I feel like it can be expanded on with more direct involvement for students such as internships or employment opportunities early on. This would give students more visible goals and things to work towards, providing encouragement to try harder school. Another way to increase student involvement is to actually display to students directly some of the things we have going on in the city. All of the volunteer opportunities or even this application all came across because I went out of my way to find out about it or I came across by chance. If we brought these opportunities like the youth advisory committee or volunteering directly to the students in school then there would be a lot more involvement. Another thing that I have seen among our teens is a decrease in a sense of community. I think this is mainly due to the pandemic and people staying at home, they are a lot more reserved in their own bubbles and don't look outwards. To fix this I think just having more events outside would help a lot. Splatter is great and I see a lot of people meeting up and things like the movie nights were also good.

We could also host more events that are specifically oriented and certain age groups to increase interaction like one just for elementary kids or high schoolers.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* As I stated before I am involved in Track and Field and Cross Country. I also take courses outside of high school such as cyber security and plan to do economics in the future. During the summer I plan on starting a job as well. Next year I plan to continue involvement in various clubs throughout the school year such as Key Club, which involves volunteering around the community. Despite this I am confident I will have enough time to devote to YAC as it's something that is important to me and fits into my schedule.

To Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee:

It is with great pleasure that I am able to write this letter of recommendation for Harsh Gupta who is currently a student in my American Literature, English 3 course. My goal for this letter is to highlight and provide details on his attributes that will make him a valuable and impactful addition to Dublin’s Youth Advisory Committee.

Harsh is a thoughtful student who puts in effort to complete his classwork. He is a driven individual and does not shy away from asking for clarification when needed. We often engage in collaborative problem solving while reading novels related to coming-of-age and identity formation, a topic that is very pertinent to young men of his age. His conversations in these activities with his peers result in very productive, thorough and reflective discussions. In this light, Harsh is an empathetic listener who values his peers' opinions and contributes well in group settings. He is currently balancing his Honors Chemistry class with track and field, and participation in the Key Club. I can always count on Harsh to show empathy for others in collaborative work;he is willing to step up as a leader, and at the same time, to let others lead.

Please feel free to contact me to shed more light on Harsh’s academic potential and beyond.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I am in a speech and debate club, DECA, cross country/track and field, karate, and boy scouts. I have good social and communication skills. I don't find it hard to talk to new people, and I make connections very easily. I don't find it difficult to reach out to people if I have questions or concerns. This means that I could easily talk to people and find people interested in participating in events. Along with that I am a life rank in boy scouts. I have experience with leadership positions and participating in events and organizing them alike. I strongly believe in service to others, as that is one of the boy scout ideals.

This year marks my fifth year being in the Dublin 4-H speech and debate club. I have won gold at county, regional, and state competitions all 4 years. I am hoping to continue this trend this year with the regional speech competition coming up in April.

This is my first year in DECA since it is only available in high school, and I have attended one competition. The competition gave me a lot of valuable experience regarding pitching a company and using graphics. Me and my partner had to write an entire pitch following the performance indicators, with props, in just thirty minutes. We managed to pull together a good presentation despite it being our first competition. I am proud of how we performed and am excited for the next competition.

This was also my first year doing cross country, or even playing a sport for that matter. And yet, I was able to improve by a huge margin. I started the year with an 8:30 mile time, and a 24:30 3 mile time. I finished off the season with a 5:38 mile time, and an 18:57 5k (3.1 miles) time. This 5k time is better than 95% of 14 year old's, and is considered to need at least 5 years of training to achieve this level. However, I managed to do it in 1. One thing I learned from being part of the cross country team is that I am capable of things that I could have never imagined. If you would have told me how much I would improve by, and the times that I would get, I would have never believed you. Yet I managed to surprise myself and surpass my limits.

I have been doing karate for almost 7 years, and I am currently a 2nd degree black belt. I have not been active for a while, but I plan to start up again once the track season is over.

Another experience that I greatly benefited from was the Dublin leads program. It is a program in which you do everything an employee does, except you get volunteering hours instead of money. The Dublin city rec department will assign you to one of their camps or facilities. This summer was my first time ever doing it and it was very helpful. I was assigned to the wave and quite literally worked the front desk. I answered phone calls, questions, complaints, and checked in kids for swim lessons. This gave me an exact simulation of how a job would be. We even had our shifts posted on a calendar, and you could trade or swap shifts. This helped improve my time management skills, because I needed to coordinate my schedule with the leads schedule, and get my work done on time. All of this accumulated me around 70-80 hours of volunteering on top of that. It gave me experience in working with representatives from the city of Dublin as well as working with new people. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
One issue that kids are currently facing is obesity. More than 12.7 million children and adolescents suffer from obesity in the United States. Obesity, caused by lack of exercise and poor diet, is responsible for over 300,000 deaths every year. For many teens, it is hard to go to the gym to exercise, or hard to afford it. One simple yet effective solution to this is an outdoor gym.

The gyms can be as simple as pull-up bars and horizontal bars, or as complex as air walkers and chest presses. Many of these kinds of gyms already exist in Japan, especially in Tokyo. With covid social distancing issues, these are the perfect solution. Kids can go here with their friends to work out, and since these are outside, the risk of covid transmission is reduced.

I think that they would be a great addition here as well. They would also allow teens to socialize again after the pandemic, and create new ways for people to hang out and chill. These gyms can be put at Fallon Sports Park and Dublin Sports ground.

Another place where they would be effective is Emerald Glen Park. This is because Emerald Glen is in the middle of Dublin, making it easily accessible for everyone. I'm sure that many teens will start to use these, as they are very helpful and don't take up that much space.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I am currently working on my Eagle rank for Boy Scouts and will most likely be finished by the time summer comes to an end. I plan to take part in the Alameda County science fair again next year. I did cross country this year and I am planning to do it again next year as well. I am very good with time management because I have been able to manage all my activities along with doing well in school and still manage to have free time. Hence I will definitely have time to devote to YAC every month. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I'm sure many of my fellow boy scouts will be happy to participate in community events. I can talk about it at our troop meetings and see if anyone is interested. Another way is to Simply reach out to everyone in my neighborhood. I know lots of teens here and I'm sure many of them will be happy to join. I could also ask people about it at school by putting up flyers or asking around, and see if anyone there is interested. I could bring it up during the 4-H speech and debate club meetings to see if anyone is interested.

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* Yes, I attended the city council meeting on March 15th virtually, and I was interested in the water slide repair item. I used to volunteer at the wave and two of the water slides were closed due to safety issues. The water slide repair work was approved and I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Dear Dublin Youth Advisory Council Selection Committee:

This letter is to recommend Tanish Zutshi as a member of the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee. I have worked with Tanish as a merit badge counselor for Scouting, and he has impressed me as a responsible, motivated young man.

He is well prepared, conscientious, and does good work. He has successfully completed Citizenship in the Community, Nation, and World, Personal Fitness, Family Life, and Emergency Preparedness merit badges with me as his counselor, and his work is thorough, well thought out, and he comes prepared.

I am encouraged by his pursuit for a leadership position here in the city, and look forward to what he could accomplish.

Sincerely,
Joe Washington

To whom it may concern:

My name is Jessica Shipps and I am a Spanish teacher at Dublin High School. I have the pleasure of recommending my student Tanish Zutshi for the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee.

I know Tanish to be a hardworking, personable, level-headed student who would be a great asset to your team. As a student in my class, he always works hard and holds his fellow students accountable. In one instance, he happened to be outside when an incident occurred involving other students being disruptive; Tanish was able to give an unbiased and thorough report of what had happened, while still maintaining an empathetic mindset. The problem was resolved quickly and appropriately, thanks to the empathy he showed to his fellow students, and the honesty and responsibility he demonstrated by giving testimony.

Outside of my classroom, Tanish has also been an active member in multiple extracurricular activities, spending his time preparing for multiple gold-level speeches in county, regional, and state speech competitions, as well as pursuing his Eagle rank in Boy Scouts. As someone who has seen the climb to Eagle rank firsthand, I know how time consuming and challenging this can be. It requires a good handle of time management, fundraising, budgeting, correspondence, organization, and so much more. The ability to balance school work, speech competitions, and scouting responsibilities is a feat in and of itself. The kindness and charisma that Tanish brings to each of these activities is the extra icing on the cake.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tanish Zutshi for the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee; he will be a kind and responsible asset to any team he joins. If you have any further questions, feel free to call me at , or email me at
Sincerely,
Jessica Shipps

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* One of the most important skills I believe I possess to be a great candidate for the YAC is that I am a very patient person. In the face of animosity, I don’t panic and try and rush things. I deductively reason what the best possible solution to an issue is, and this can only be done with a calm mind. That’s why I believe that with my patient mind, I can help keep the committee calm and create calming activities with the YAC.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
One of the most significant issues I believe teens in Dublin deal with is stress in their studies. I’m sure that if you are the parent of a teenager or know of someone who is the parent of a teenager, you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Especially during our unique pandemic era, stress is at an all-time high, while mental health care is at an all-time low. I believe that to address this issue, we should incorporate COVID-friendly activities that both create a stress-free environment and help teens reconnect with each other. For example, we could host game nights or other in-school activities. YAC is the best committee to plan and execute these ideas as it is a committee for the teens, by the teens, meaning that it understands the audience it caters to the best out of all other committees.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* Currently, I’m involved as the president of Above and Beyond Leadership and Education, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing education to humanity. As for hobbies, I also do golf, kung-fu, and chess, and I move towards coding as a possible career. Despite having these activities, I would be more than happy to devote time each month to help out for YAC meetings and activities. I believe that creating change from these events is far more essential than solely focusing on my hobbies. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* As a Generation Z kid myself, the most correct answer would, of course, be social media. Social media allows you to combine great articles and media with an easy and widespread delivery method. With social media, I can take great pictures and videos of our events, post articles of the plan for the day, and send it to all teenagers who use social media (which is basically all teenagers in Dublin) in an efficient manner. I would also be happy to take any other suggestions or unique events like fundraisers that can greater increase participation. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* Recently, I’ve attended the 2021 Volunteer Recognition Event of the City of Dublin, which was on March 3rd, 2022. As the president of ABLE, we were nominated for an Organization of the Year award. In the meeting, I was introduced to Brandon Maskey, who introduced me to the YAC committee. He explained that this committee was focused on helping the youth, and if you wanted to implement new activities or new changes, the YAC was the best committee to do so. This is one of the biggest reasons why I decided to apply for the YAC.

To Whom This May Concern,
My name is Sherry Hu, a councilmember for the city of Dublin. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Braden Ou, a sophomore at the Quarry Lane School, for a position in the Youth Advisory Committee of Dublin.

I have personally known him for five years, and he has consistently demonstrated his courage and aptitude to challenge himself with these years. He was an essential component of my campaign for council.

Braden is also extremely selfless, willing to volunteer his time to make a better community for Dublin. He has donated clothes to the homeless, tutored low-income students, and helped to organize rallies to stop Asian hate. He is undoubtedly a positive force for our community.

With all of students I have been worked with, Braden Ou still stands out as one of the most diligent people I have met. I strongly encourage you to consider adding him to your committee as you consider your applicants. He has the tenacity and patience for any challenge he receives, and I have no doubt that he will be a valuable addition to your team.

Sincerely,
Sherry Hu

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Being a Boy Scout has enhanced my life skills. I possess the following skills:
- My family and teachers consider me humble, courteous, kind and respectful. - My friends and cousins confide and trust in me.
- I am a strong team player and good listener.
- I keep calm in stressful situations.
- I enjoy volunteering, connecting to people and helping them out. - I am hard working, organized and responsible.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
Teens face lot of issues. Some of them are listed below:
- Stress from multiple things like school performance, peer pressure, challenge to get into good college's are constant. As a YAC member, I would like to help youth by increasing awareness and promoting counseling. - Sedentary lifestyle choices. With phone and computers, many kids spent too much time on social media. I would help in planning and promoting more FREE outdoor activities like weekly or monthly community running, biking, hiking etc. - Family problems have increased during Covid and teens feel frustrated. I would like to promote more awareness towards it. - Acceptance. The diversity sometimes makes kids insecure about being accepted. I would participate in celebrating and educating different communities and traditions.
- Bullying is a big challenge that kids feel. As a YAC member, I would advocate for more anti-bullying efforts. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

Yes, I will be able to manage my time and contribute efficiently and effectively towards the YAC meetings and activities. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* - By making the activities fun and not boring.
- Kids love food. Provide discounted or free food at these events. - Have a variety of fairs: book fairs, job fair etc
- Increasing awareness through social media.
- Request sponsorship from local business to give prizes and free goodies. - Host healthy competitions and challenges like BMX trail, skate boarding, - Having a monthly shoutout - recognize youth for kindness, responsibility, anti-bullying - Celebrate diverse events and festivities
- Have community projects like planting, community cleaning. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I believe I am the best candidate for the YAC. First of all, I have excellent speech and debate skills, which would let me convince anyone easily. This would especially help in the YAC since I would be able to convince others to choose the best for our city. Next, I have experience being in the Student Council and have a good idea of how the entire system works. To add on, I have taken Speech and Debate classes and have a great understanding of how the tax system works, our government 'hierarchy' etc. Lastly, I would like to say that I'm the Historian in the Cottonwood Creek Music Department. I've been there from the start, as the school was only created 4 years ago. After Covid-19 this is one of our first years conducting our Music Association. This makes it especially fun and busy since we establish many of the things that our school would need for the future. For all these reasons I think I am the perfect candidate for the YAC. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
The main issues, that teens in Dublin are facing right now are stress, due to school assignments and personal problems. By solving this problem, teens would be able to perform better in school while also being more positive. In order to solve this common but ‘menacing’ problem, the YAC could create programs throughout the schools in Dublin, promoting extra-curricular activities, so students have something to enjoy after school. The YAC could also support student electives, that students enjoy, by funding them more. This way students would be more supported and have less stress, and be more positive. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* Currently, I’m on a VEX Robotics team and a black belt in Kung Fu, and I still, take lessons in order to get higher degrees. I also will be volunteering in a Tamil School, which is a school for my mother tongue language. Lastly, I would also be on a few clubs in the next school year. I believe that I would be able to devote time to YAC meetings and activities every month. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I would use social media as a tool to spread word for help if ever needed. This way I would be able to get a large audience of teens aware of any event or activity. I would also let my friends know to help with the city. In order to convince them to help, I would show why contributing to your own city is helpful and is needed. I would mainly point out what all other people have done for us as a city.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I believe my public speaking, commitment, and leadership skills make me a good candidate for another term on the YAC.

Another strong quality which I feel I've developed since my childhood is good listening skills, which helps me become socially responsible and observe the finer details. My first Public Speaking event was in 5th grade, when I gave a speech for the 5th grade graduation, and since then I’ve spoken in other events multiple times since then. As for my leadership skills, I believe I've exhibited them in various scenarios, whether it's my Martial Arts class, where I'm an assistant instructor working with small kids from 4-9 years of age. I’ve also had a lot of Cricket training camps and tournaments where I got the opportunity to represent my club at State level and lead the team as a Captain. Of course, this sport taught me the life lessons of success and failure several times. I believe that the opportunity I got to serve YAC as a committee member will be the strongest skill which I possess. I hope all these experiences which I've learned so far help me become a strong candidate for YAC. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I believe that one of the major issues faced by teens in Dublin and other areas of California is stress and anxiety, as well as peer pressure, usually revolving around academics. Many students sacrifice their sleep and wellbeing for validation in the form of excellent grades, although some can spiral to depression with the pressure being put on them. Many others, on the other hand, are spending too much time on a wide plethora of electronic devices, which can hamper them from being socially and physically active. As part of the YAC, we can host specialized events for teens, such as bringing back the successful Youth Mental Health Forum which the Youth Advisory Committee helped organize this year. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I’m currently a sophomore at Dublin High School, although I’ll become a Junior later next year. I’m currently the principal player for the viola section in the Dublin High Orchestra, and I will be continuing my membership in clubs such as Dublin High HOSA, CSF, and the National Honors Society, which have provided me with ample opportunities for community service this year. Next year, I’m applying to become a mentor for the Dublin High Freshman Mentor Program, where I’ll get opportunities to mentor freshmen and provide them proper guidance during their transition period from middle school to high school. I’m also a committee member for the Dublin YAC, as well as a member of several ad hoc committees for the YAC. I’ve also been playing Cricket for local clubs for the last 5 years, and I've also represented various leagues, including the Northern California Cricket Club. I’m also the current captain of the Dublin Cricket League Under-17 age group, representing my club in various tournaments in LA, Dallas, and North Carolina, despite only being 15 myself. I’m also part of the Instructor Assistant Program at my Martial Arts dojo, Empower Martial Arts. In this program, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor young martial artists as young as 4 to 10 years of age. With my proper planning and organizational skills, I’ve managed to give my full focus and best to each and every activity which I am involved in so far, including my academics, and I'll definitely be able to attend the monthly meetings regularly.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* My experiences within and beyond school have allowed me to develop my communication, leadership, and creativity skills that I believe are necessary to become an effective member of the committee. Through my various competitions with our school’s Speech and Debate team, I have learned not only the value of having a voice but also the ability to look at both sides of all issues before making impactful arguments and counter arguments. As a three-year member of student council, I’ve had to live up to the obligation that I see as a representative of my fellow classmates. I’ve also been tested in many ways and forms to be an innovator as the Project Manager for my family’s charitable organization The Village of Dreams, where I’ve recently produced online STEM courses for needy kids. I now see myself applying these skills within my role on the committee on behalf of the teenagers of Dublin.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
In addition to the normal set of issues that teems in Dublin and elsewhere always face, these days they must also deal with the challenges of reconnecting with themselves and their community after a period when they were disconnected due to the restrictions of the pandemic. The committee could contribute to helping teens get together by hosting events designed specifically for teens while spreading the word of such activities through social media platforms such as Instagram. For instance, we could promote a Teen Fair within the confines of the Alameda County Fair that would give students a specific time and place to congregate amongst themselves. My experience with student council has taught me the importance of posting information in places where teens often frequent instead of relying simply on emails or word of mouth. If we do our job of making teens aware of our events, we can also reach our goal of motivating teens to form their own communities while becoming active member of our larger one.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* The more I have been involved in various activities, the more I have been able to make connections among them while applying my organizational skills to accomplish my goals. As the founder of our school’s chapter of our Village of Dreams nonprofit organization, I rely on my experience in Student Council to take charge of groups of peers in order for them to share my passion as well as my knowledge. The same goes with my involvement in the outreach phase of our Robotics team, where we try to benefit our community while competing at the highest levels. The emphasis in Speech and Debate, of course, is on communication as we prepare and then perform our scripts on a local to a national level. My dancing and tutoring experience is on a more personal level. While I try to express my interests in classical to jazz on the stage, I try to reach as well as teach underprivileged kids in my one-on-one sessions. Just as I find time for all of those activities, I will find time to fulfill my commitment to the committee.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I envision part of my role on the committee as not only to inspire fellow teens to become involved in community activities but to also inspire City of Dublin leaders to support our efforts. The public officials are the ones who have the resources we need to turn our ideas into action, and I would use my experience with my clubs and on the council to make convincing arguments that what is good for teens in the Dublin community is also good for the community itself. In addition to the previously mentioned example of using social media to target teens to join specific events at venues such as Emerald Glen Park, the library, or the community center, I would also spread the word at my high school as well as using neighborhood posts to make an even more direct appeal for teenagers to take part in our activities. I have found that the more enthusiastic I am about whatever I am involved with, the more likely it will be that others will share my enthusiasm.

Dear Colleagues,
My name is Marcelo Aranda and I am the History and Social Science Department Chair at the Quarry Lane School (QLS) in Dublin, CA. I am writing to support Poluk Sharma’s application to the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee.

QLS is an academically rigorous school that prepares students for university-level coursework. Therefore, in my history classes, I emphasize the close reading of primary and secondary sources and the craft of argumentative and analytical writing.

Additionally, student assessments are not based on simple memorization, but instead on a student’s understanding of historical causation and the differences and similarities between distinct historical contexts.

I first met Poluk as a tenth grader in my AP US History class during the year of 2021- 2022. I have been struck by Poluk’s curiosity, self-assurance, and natural aptitude for leadership.

We do much primary source analysis and seminar discussion in the class and as a result of her speech and debate and student council experience Poluk is always ready and willing to engage in an exchange of ideas with her peers. Over the course of the year, we have learned much about the historical roots of the American political system and of the problems we continue to grapple with. I believe both these experiences will be of great help on the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee.

In AP US and US History classes I run a Constitutional Convention scenario at the end of the Fall Semester in which students take the role of delegates at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Poluk played the role of Roger Sherman, a member of the Moderate Confederalist faction. By compromising and negotiating with the other three 675

political factions, Poluk brokered a Constitution that reflected the consensus of all the factions. Her success in the Constitutional Convention was the result of the value she places on collaboration and problem-solving.

Finally, I have observed that other students see Poluk as a leader, often asking her to weigh in on collective matters and seeing her as a good decision-maker. I believe that the experience of working on the Youth Advisory Committee will help Poluk become accustomed to working with a diverse array of individuals working towards a common end, skills which will have much use as she gets older.

Once again, I whole-heartedly recommend Poluk Sharma for the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is my very great pleasure to recommend Poluk Sharma for the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee. I have met with Poluk several times over the past two years, and I find her to be affable, articulate, confident, compassionate, uber-intelligent, and humble. Poluk is well-respected among her peers and our faculty.

Poluk is one of the shining academic stars of our sophomore class, and she has also been actively involved in a number of leadership activities within our school and in the community as well. Here at Quarry Lane, she served on our Student Council as Vice President of our Freshman class last year, and she is currently serving as Sophomore class President. Poluk has also been active in Programming leadership with FRC Robotics and The Village of Dreams Family Charity. She is a successful debate team member and has won awards in Duo Interpretation and Humorous Interpretation.

Poluk has been active in scientific research and other organizations as well, and I am continually impressed with how she seems to be able to juggle and achieve a balance with all of her academic work and her extracurricular activities. I think that Poluk will be a superb addition to the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee, and I am very happy to recommend her.

Please feel free to reach out if more information is needed.

Sincerely,
Sandra Toms, MA/PPS
Academic and College Counselor

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* One skill I possess that would make me a strong candidate for the Youth Advisory Committee is a powerful ability to work with different types of people, and personality types. I approach both people and my work with a friendly and positive attitude which allows me greater productivity and better relationships with the people around me. While I greatly value enthusiasm and connecting with others, I also prioritize being responsible with my actions. Furthermore, I am a very organized person who values efficiency and accountability. I love organizing things, whether it be an activity or my planner, and my work is completed with my full attention on each detail. Finally, another skill I possess that would make me a strong candidate for the YAC, is an ability to think through problems and provide effective solutions. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
One issue the youth in Dublin are currently dealing with is the mass amounts of stress they receive from school. A large number of students are constantly on the verge of a breakdown and exhausted trying to keep up with the rigorous curriculum.

The Youth Advisory Committee could propose the implementation and promotion of classes revolving around how to deal with stress as an activity that students can sign up for through the Dublin Recreation Guide. Furthermore, overcrowding in Dublin High School has been a problem for several years and the issue is only getting worse. While the city continues to build more homes, schools are being crammed with students in constant competition with each other and overworked teachers. The City is also negatively affected by this issue, as intense traffic plagues the streets both before and after school. Not only is it harming the quality of education we receive, but it is also damaging our mental health. YAC could collaborate with those on the school board and the people in charge of approving construction to find solutions for the overcrowding. As the new highschool will not be fully established until 2024, until that time it is imperative that any solution, even if temporary, is found to manage the surplus of students.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* Currently, I am involved in several clubs at Dublin High School including NHS, CSF, and Teen Tutors that I intend to remain in during the 2022 - 2023 school year. With these clubs I am given opportunities to volunteer and tutor elementary and middle school students. I also have a job in the fast food industry where I provide service to customers, and keep the workplace clean. Finally, during the 2022 - 2023 school year I have applied to become a freshman mentor at school, to uplift incoming freshman and give them someone they can turn to while navigating the confusion / terror that comes with entering highschool.

I will be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities, and would make it a priority in my schedule. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* Using social media as a source of publicization is the primary way I would get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities. At school, a majority of students barely glance at the flyers and posters plastered on the walls or listen to daily announcements. Instead, they turn to the internet and social media to gain news of upcoming events in the community. Therefore, I would create multiple posts or digital flyers to promote any of the City’s activities. I would also partner with popular clubs on campus which are composed of a large number of students, such as Interact, CSF, or NHS, to publicize events and offer volunteer opportunities to the teenagers. Even if not everyone signs up to volunteer, the activity would still be broadcasted to a considerable number of students who, in turn, will notify their friends.

To Whom It May Concern,
It is my pleasure to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Riva Jadhav. I highly recommend her as a candidate for the City of Dublin’s Youth Advisory Council.

I am Camille Centeno, a recreation technician at the Dublin Senior Center, and have known Riva since May of 2021. During the Summer of 2021, and for a few events since, I acted as her supervisor while she volunteered at the Dublin Senior Center. Throughout this time, I had the pleasure of watching her interact with seniors, assist in special events, and help with administrative duties.

Riva is a mature teen with many traits that make her a qualified candidate. She has an unwavering positive attitude and an approachable nature. At the Senior Center, she created a good impression on those she interacted with through this attitude and a kind disposition.

Consistently, she displayed a readiness to help others and did not fail to make herself available to complete any task asked of her. Once assigned something, Riva applied her best effort to complete the task in an efficient and deliberate manner. She is also organized and responsible, with a great attention to detail. Throughout her time volunteering at the Senior Center, Riva demonstrated both an ability to bond with different types of people, despite differences in age or personality, and patience with each patron.

One senior, in particular, had difficulties regarding his application to benefit from the senior fee assistance program and regularly inquired after the status of his application and his ability to participate in Senior Center activities. Weekly, Riva listened to and communicated with him in a gentle manner without growing irritated or showing signs of being agitated and distressed by the repetitive nature of his questions. Rather, she assisted him in any way she could and ensured to ease his concerns every week.

Overall, I found Riva an enthusiastic and caring individual from whom the Youth Advisory Council would benefit in having. She would be a fine contributor to the council and I am happy to recommend her for this position.

Sincerely,
Camille Centeno
Recreation Technician

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I think I would make a strong candidate for the YAC because of my leadership and execution qualities. I am able to handle a team well and can work with them collaboratively. It is important to arrive consensus while working together and I think that I can build the consensus for greater good. I am also very detail oriented which helps me in execution planning and delivering on those plans.

I have been fortunate to be part of few committees and teams in my education & social life.

In the year of 2018-19 I was selected to be part of a team which represented my school, Dougherty Elementary on the Dublin school district's student board advisory council.

I have also enriched my leaderships skills by leading dance troops in my neighborhood as well as in my social circle. I have also taken initiative and planned youth events such as musicals, speeches, and skits in my sphere of influence. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I think teens in Dublin is a very enthusiastic community but at the same time facing many problems related to education and future direction.

Many are very stressed about their academics, as I have seen with my own peers as well. I have also noticed issues with social interactions, especially after coming back from online school and people seem to have gotten reclusive.

In current times, it's becoming difficult to talk with others outside of close friends circle. I think for the future, it is important that people are able to reach out to everyone in different positions (like their peers, mentors, coaches, seniors and more) to get immediate support & guidance on current education gaps as well as to shape up the future.

To solve this, the YAC team, who have members of similar age group and understand these struggles, could plan events for everyone, in school campuses and in the city of Dublin. These can be attached to academics but also for fun and/or for support for the section of community who are in need.

Also I believe YAC should collaborate with the schools and can also plan events that can guarantee more participation from the today's youth.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* Outside of school, I learn hindustani classical music and practice kathak, a form of Indian classical dance. I have been doing both for more than 7 years and have given many performances.

I am also a proud girl scout and participate in many activities through that, including volunteering. I am currently about to start my journey to attain the silver award which is one of the highest awards in girl scouting.

In school, I am a part of CJSF where we do a lot of fundraisers for different charity services.

In the 22-23 school year I hope to join certain clubs that interest me. To be specific, I am looking forward to join the speech and debate club to further enhance my speaking skills as well as thought leadership.

I have also applied for the freshman leadership class which will align into many things with YAC.

I will be able to devote time to YAC meetings and activities because this is something I am passionate about. I would like to learn from the experiences and take whatever opportunities I get to better myself and the community. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I believe I have a variety of unique skills that would make me a great candidate for the YAC. I am the captain of my cricket team because the coaches know my leadership potential. I work very well in teams and know how to interact with others. I often come up with creative ideas to solve problems. I have a good sense of humor, and I take my responsibilities seriously.

Once I am committed to a cause, I make sure I spend enough time on the commitments. I am a competitive chess player who has won a lot of awards in chess, which involves strategic thinking and advanced planning. I can also play 4 different musical instruments, which involve multitasking. These are some of the skills that I think will help me be a great YAC member. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
Some of the problems that people I know at school, in sport teams, and other groups are experiencing are stress and anxiety.

In fact, the surgeon general of the United States has called anxiety an epidemic. Anxiety can result from several things, namely academic pressure, social pressure, environment, etc. YAC can help create a safe space where teens who are depressed/anxious can feel comfortable to discuss their problems. Another problem teens are facing is drug use/vaping. This is a very serious and ongoing issue that needs to be addressed by customized programs that spread awareness and are led by the Dublin Youth. The presentations can be integrated in schools, as a part of after school clubs. Another problem is vandalism and destruction of public property that is affecting youth. This ongoing problem at different schools needs to be addressed and we need to come up with creative solutions. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* During the 2022-2023 school year, I will be involved only in sports, mainly cricket, the year-long sport I have been pursuing since I was 7 years old. I am currently part of the Fallon Marching band but I don't plan to be part of the marching band in high school which will free up a lot of my time. Therefore I will be able to devote sufficient time to YAC for the meetings and follow up activities that are planned.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* To get other teens involved in the community, I would first spread awareness about the committee everywhere I can, namely my school, enrichment/after school clubs, neighborhood groups, and sports teams. I would seek help from my coaches and teachers to help spread the word and make announcements. I would contact the editors of my high school’s publication to write an article about how YAC is helping and how teens can be involved in the initiatives and finally do word of mouth to let them know about YAC led initiatives.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* I have attended many city council meetings to request equitable options for use of park facility for Dublin youth. I also tuned in to meetings to hear about Dublin's endangered eagles and how we can protect them. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* In the past couple of years, I have actively engaged in all sorts of community events, in which I have gathered a series of necessary skills to run projects for the YAC. Having started my own non-profit, I am incredibly sensitive to the problems that need to be addressed in the community and how to get one step closer to solving such issues. Additionally, throughout my experience with running projects and hosting events, I’ve learned that organization is one of the critical elements to running any successful project. I can manage my time and complete all the tasks I have on hand to their fullest and go beyond what I typically ask. Though, I would say that my strongest trait is my resilient nature. I’m not one to give up on a small challenge or even what may be perceived as a larger struggle. Through difficult times, I can empower those around me to work through drawbacks together.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
One of the most prominent issues plaguing the youth of Dublin in the status quo is the negative influence of social media on mental health and the harsh reality of peer pressure in high school. Within the past year, many internet trends have arisen, leading to a negative influence on students' behavior at school. However, there are very few consequences and no real way to contain the spread of dangerous internet trends. Despite this fact, I believe we should still make a valiant attempt in which programs to educate students on their social media presence are put into place to try and explain the detriments of blindly following internet trends. Additionally, it is becoming more and more of a problem for students to succumb to peer pressure.

Due to the competitive academic environment, many students are resorting to alcohol or drugs to relieve their stresses, and peer pressuring their friends to partake in such activities. To combat these issues, I think we should make mental health resources seem more accessible, whether that be working directly with the Wellness Center to encourage more student-onstudent interaction or starting a new program altogether. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I know for sure that I will be able to devote time to monthly YAC meetings and activities. I am currently involved with the Dublin Shield Newspaper, the Breaking Bearriers Club, golf, art, and the Dublin Mayor’s Council. These activities have taught me how to manage my time properly and arrange my schedule to be available for any important event while completing all of my tasks to the fullest.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* One of the most critical aspects of increasing civic engagement is making teens feel represented within the community. More often than not, teens feel isolated from the community and avoid civic engagement if they struggle to connect with projects on a personal level. Thus, it is vital to regularly host events designed to address specific problems common to all teens.

Additionally, very few teenagers understand the actual value of community involvement, making it imperative to emphasize that everyone can make an impact no matter how ‘small’ the action seems. One of my biggest priorities- if selected to be a committee member- would be to pay extra care and attention to the problems teens face and present suitable solutions.

Additionally, I would promote such events to those around me and host live streaming sessions where students can ask questions to learn more about the event.

8151 Village Parkway, Dublin, CA 94568 ⧫925-833-3300⧫ FAX 925-833-3322 To whom it may concern,
Since meeting Summer Shi in my AP European History course I have gotten to know her extremely well. Summer developed into a fine young person with great potential for personal growth and successes. From the moment I meet Summer to this point I have seen her establish the building blocks for their future and the successes she will obtain. At the outset of our first meeting I could tell she was a bit indecisive and shocked by the rigorous demands at the high school level. I am extremely proud of Summer’s growth over the last semester. She has matured into an individual that has developed deep empathy and extreme perseverance as seen through their hardwork and dedication to become a better student and individual.

Summer developed the important trait of hard work since the moment I met her in AP European History and each moment after. She fostered a desire to become an active participant in their community and become even more hard working. It is their work in their extra curriculars such as the Breaking Barriers club, the Dublin Shield, and the Dublin High golf team that I see massive growth as an individual. I am truly in awe of the amount of maturity that occurred over the last semester; most of which I believe she acquired through a sense of community that she achieved while working with her peers to promote safe social events and instruct in the fundamentals of golf. It has not only been Summer’s individual growth but their sense of community as a student that contributed to their maturity and individuality.

Summer shows continued resiliency as she overcomes academic obstacles which have greatly influenced their outlook in school and in life. Since I met her I have seen Summer overcome the challenges of taking rigorous courses post-pandemic such as AP European History, AP Biology, and AP Calculus and find success through time management, perseverance, and hard work. I am extremely proud of the perseverance shown by Summer since the first time we met until the present. It is truly gratifying to be able to see the individual growth and perseverance of Summer working through both her academics and extracurriculars. I am excited for Summer’s future because I know she will be able to obtain personal success and use their future success not only to achieve their goals but to give back to their community.

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Summer Shi. I know she has the ability to not only thrive and achieve at your institution, but repay this opportunity by tremendously adding her own hardwork and dedication to your institution.

Thank you for your time.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* I possess various skills that make me a strong candidate and member of the YAC. A partial list of my skills and experience include:

Leadership/Communication skills
I contain leadership and communication skills that could immensely help the YAC in its path for change in our city. As a basketball player, I understand how important working with a team can be. If you don’t share the ball the defenders have the ability to steal it. Whereas, if you pass the ball, you have the opportunity to score. Furthermore, I am a tutor and work with younger kids at my middle school with their studies, and plan to start a company of my own to teach music in my community.

In the YAC,I know I can work with others to better achieve our goal and hone it to perfection.

Arts and Music
In addition to some of the various soft skills, I possess described above. I have been learning South Asian and Western vocal and instrumental music since the age of 5 and have participated and performed in various local and cultural events in and around Dublin. This has made me more aware of the cultural diversity present in our city and will help me understand the medley of needs of youth in our city while participating in the YAC. Also, music is a universal language, and with my knowledge, it can bring the community and city of Dublin together.

Service
I feel it is important to help others and to participate in my community.Therefore, whether it be serving at local homeless shelters or, or volunteering at nursing homes. I work to make every contribution I can to help people around me, and I aim to achieve a similar goal through helping people through the YAC. I have (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
A teen has a variety of problems to deal with, from homework and good grades to balancing to extracurriculars as well.

According to data collected by the American Psychological Association for the Stress in America Survey, teen stress rivals that of adults. Results of the survey show that not only do teens identify that their stress levels are not healthy, but they also underestimate the impact stress has on their mental and physical health. And these causes of stress must be reduced, so with the efforts of the YAC, it can be made possible. These are a partial list of problems and solutions the YAC could implement in our city.

Depression/Social Anxiety
Social Anxiety is an issue that is left unaddressed in adolescence may lead to an increased risk of other mental health problems later in life such as depression and other serious consequences. The YAC could play a crucial role in helping teens with such problems. For example, the committee organized assemblies in schools to raise awareness and gauge different levels of anxiety both at schools and at home. By educating teens about this problem and its future impact, they could learn that there is nothing wrong with asking for help and overcoming their problems.

Self Image/Physical Activity
The CDC released results of a study that found that 22% of children and adolescents had obesity last August, up from 19% one year prior. The study showed that children with healthy weight were gaining an average of 3.4 lb per year before the pandemic but gained 5.4 lb per year during the pandemic. The YAC could conduct walks to counter this problem, while also gaining valuable fundraising for the school and community.

College Readiness
As many teens aim for colleges and furthering their learning. Many struggles to find activities and accomplishments to keep under their belt to enter these schools. In turn, the YAC could introduce activities in the community to help these students with volunteer hours and more. Not only would this benefit teens through academic success but also bring more participation in community-related activities or events.

So while a teen may have a seemingly endless list of problems, the YAC can easily improve and make a change in our city’s teens' livelihood.

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I am currently enrolled in CJSF and the competitive speech and debate forum, participating in NorCal tournaments. Outside of school, I continue to learn western and South Asian vocals and instrumentals. Furthermore, I play with a travel basketball team. I have been participating in food drives and have volunteered at various shelters and events in and out of Dublin. Any of my academic or extracurricular activities will not be a hindrance to my active participation in the YAC. My music classes are held early in the morning at 6 am on weekends, and basketball practice timings are very flexible at the moment, and will be in the future as well.

Given that, I am confident that I will be able to devote adequate time and effort to engaging in YAC meetings, managing other extracurriculars and activities. To conclude, I am very excited about the opportunity to work with YAC and look forward to actively engaging with the committee.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* Dublin has a plethora of fun activities for all of its inhabitants, like the farmers market, splatter, and much more (now mostly postponed due to the pandemic). But how can our community bring the fun and participation out of the teens of Dublin? In order to get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities. I would try to incorporate the interests of a teen into the various events.

Provide recognition for students
In high school, most kids are all doing activities in which they can get volunteer hours and other accomplishments they can put on college applications. Therefore, the YAC could provide recognition and multiple platforms in which these students could both serve their communities and gain valuable experience for their future.

Allow youth to conduct these events and play a role in leading them Teens should be able to lead events and facilitate them as well because not only will it allow them to incorporate their interests. It would also teach teens valuable skills on how to stay organized and bring pieces together to create an end product with other teens. It would also cultivate leaders that will help our country as functioning members of society. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* I have observed a Dublin Commission and City Council meeting online. During a regular meeting, the council began to talk about the dealing of the heritage trees in order to better upgrade parking routes and a residential area. While I was watching the broadcast, I was especially interested in the changes and decisions that were made during the meeting, and how it could change noticeable aspects of Dublin. In this instance, a decision to add an entirely new residential area was discussed and also, natural landmarks were discussed in the meeting as well. I think this was extremely important and had a few ideas myself while watching the meeting. For example, in my opinion, I would propose to just keep the heritage trees in their native positions and build accordingly to make the entry routes for the residential area. Redwood trees are milestones and are signs of the original land of Dublin, so they should not be compromised for a small amount of land. Even as the trees fit the requirements of the Heritage Tree Ordinance of 1999, they provided no set of harm to the community, and could be easily built around. Therefore, the destruction of the trees is not necessary. In the YAC, I hope to be able to discuss these same issues with my passion to help that could change our community for years to come. The YAC is meant to serve the city of Dublin, and I know I can do this job to the best of my abilities.

It is with great pleasure that I am recommending Shoumik Manthana to the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee. I’ve known Shoumik for a few years now through the Sai organization our families are involved in and I am currently his teacher in the Sai Educare program.

Shoumik would be a great asset to YAC. He is talented, compassionate and demonstrates leadership skills in any activity he’s involved in. He enjoys being involved in the community and has contributed in many ways by participating in food drives and volunteering at various shelters and events in and out of Dublin. As part of his school’s CJSF program, he tutors young kids. He currently participates in competitive NorCal speech and debate tournaments and is part of the youth traveling basketball team.

Apart from all these activities, Shoumik enjoys music, vocal and instrumental. He very enthusiastically participates in devotional programs in our Sai organization, playing tabla, a percussion instrument and as a lead singer.

I believe Shoumik will be an excellent fit in the YAC program. He is genuinely interested in helping youth and teens in the community. He has demonstrated leadership skills, dedication and strive for excellence through various activities he is involved in.

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Skills I possess are communication, organization, as well as problem-solving. These skills would make me a strong candidate for YAC as they can help me make smart decisions as well as keep up with tasks and activities. I am also comfortable leading a group of people efficiently as I have been involved in my school’s leadership committee since I was in 5th grade. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I believe some of the main issues teens are facing and are dealing with are anxiety, stress, and self-confidence. Countless teens suffer with or have suffered from self-esteem and self-confidence in themselves, which can sometimes lead to self-harm.

I think YAC could address this issue by having fundraisers and ways to address and spread awareness about these issues so more teens can seek help if they need to. We could also make “Self Care Bags” with a few comforting items (encouraging notes, face masks, gum, etc.) and distribute them to the middle/high schools. Other issues teens are facing with are anxiety and stress. Although they are two different things they have similar ties, there are many causes of stress and can take a big toll on someone. We could host fun events like movie nights, Color Runs, or “yoga sunsets” to relieve stress. These events would be a low cost to YAC but extremely memorable for students. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* I am currently in leadership at my middle school and have applied to be part of the leadership at the high school next year. I am also involved on a volleyball team at and outside of school. Yes, I will be able to dedicate and commit to YAC meetings as well as activities each month during the 2022-2023 school year. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I would get other teens involved in the community by making and hosting fun events like fundraisers, movie nights, and season/holiday activities. We could also create a survey and send it out to students or ask teachers in schools to have everyone in their 5th or 6th period fill it out. This survey could include various poll questions about students’ interest, events they would want to attend, and comments/concerns question at the end.

1. Why do you want to become a member of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)?* I’ve spent most of my life in Dublin and I’ve grown to love this city for everything it’s given me, from amazing friends, to huge parks, to super helpful teachers. I want to give back to Dublin and continue to connect with the Dublin community.

Last summer, I was a volunteer at the Dublin LEAD program, where I got to work at the Wave and do a bag check for all the people entering the waterpark. While doing the bag check, I got to talk to so many people from Dublin, all of whom came from different neighborhoods and backgrounds. I talked to Dublin residents who were adults, senior citizens, small kids, and teens, and hearing about how long they’ve lived in Dublin and how much they love the city made me feel so much more connected to Dublin.

I want to continue connecting with the Dublin community and helping out wherever I can while meeting new people.

I also want to continue empowering teenagers and young adults in Dublin and give them opportunities to contribute to the community and become more engaged with all of the events and activities. Joining the YAC would allow me to be the voice of the youth and represent them within the city government. I know that many teens want to be more involved with Dublin and take part in city events, but a lot of my friends have told me that they didn’t know how to find volunteering opportunities. With the help of the YAC, I want to make it more accessible for teens to find such opportunities and encourage them to take part in everything that Dublin has to offer! One idea I have for this is to help teens in the community host their own events that the city could sponsor. Since teens can relate to one another, I believe that if they could host some city events, more teens and people their age would come to it. Many city events like Splatter or the Saint Patrick's Day Parade are organized by adults and I believe that if people my age could also help organize such events, much more youths would come to the city events. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Some of my strongest skills are teamwork, leadership, and creativity, and I think they make me a strong candidate for the YAC! First, I love working with others and collaborating through teams. I enjoy working together with friends and people from my community. This past Thanksgiving, my friend and I organized a toy drive collecting $300 in cash and 34 toys to a drive organized by Luso-American Financial in Dublin to bring holiday cheer to local families. When my friend and I first gave out flyers, we only got three toy donations the first week. We were very upset but we did not give up. Instead, we teamed up with some adults, went door to door to get donations and we were able to collect 34 toys in total! I also believe I have strong leadership skills. Being part of the Student Council at Fallon Middle School, I’m in the Leadership class, where I’ve learned a lot about decision-making and planning events that make our school a better place. Every week, student council members like myself have to decide whether or not to approve certain expenses, like funding for a club or purchasing new items for the classroom, which has taught me how to make decisions based on the possible consequences.

Organizing a school event, especially with COVID-19 restrictions, took a lot of planning and I take pride in working with other leadership students to set up the events and run them.

I’m also a super creative person and I love tinkering in my free time! I love making experimenting with my 3D printer and making things for everyday use, like a bag holder, adjustable wrench, organizer for USB drives, and more. I design and print things to assist my parents, and am working on building toys for kids with special needs. My 3D printer lets me create whatever I want to create and create items that can’t be found in any store or shopping place. I also compete in CAD competitions to create models of an item that fit a certain theme, like a toy for disabled kids. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I believe that stress management is a really big issue within the youth and the teen community at Dublin, and I think that there are many ways that the YAC can support them! I know that many of my friends and my older sister’s friends face a lot of stress, so organizing events and activities to help decrease stress would really help teens. Some examples of events could be movie nights, free yoga classes, meditation exercises, and workshops! These would give teens the opportunity to get together with their friends and spend some time relaxing before a stressful test. I’ve also noticed from my sister that many teens are especially stressed this time of the year (February-April) because of upcoming AP Exams and Finals, and the city could help them by organizing study sessions with tutors and other professionals such that students receive support and help with what they are struggling with.

Another problem that a lot of teens in Dublin face is mental health. Even though mental health is a more widely accepted concept right now than it used to be, I believe that the YAC can lead some initiatives to help teams navigate their mental health and control stress and anxiety. YAC can work with mental health clinics and professionals to create mental health workshops for teens and give them resources and connections to seek help if they ever need it.

Lastly, I’ve noticed from my friends and classmates that a lot of youth in Dublin want to become more involved with the city and volunteer, but they don’t know where to find these opportunities. A lot of youth are also unaware of the smaller events happening around the city. I think that creating a platform or online bulletin board listing the volunteer opportunities and events happening through the City of Dublin and other Dublin-based organizations would encourage a lot more teens to become involved. For example, I know that the Youth Benefit Concert is an event that the YAC organizes to encourage youth to become involved with the city and community, but creating more volunteer opportunities and publicizing the event to larger youth crowds would tremendously increase audience turnout. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* One of my favorite things to do in my free time is play basketball! I used to play in my backyard with my dad until I was in fifth grade, which was when I began playing on a competition team. I used to play basketball through a team within the East Bay Bulldogs, but I decided to switch teams so that I could play more competitions during my weekends. I currently play for a team in Top Performance Basketball, and I get to play a couple of basketball games every weekend against other teams in the Bay Area! I love playing basketball because it’s the perfect way for me to get active and play a sport while collaborating with my teammates and learning new strategies from my coach. I plan to continue playing basketball in 9th grade, and I’m excited to try out for the high school team.

I’m also planning to join the Robotics team in high school next year! I’ve always loved building things and tinkering around, and I participated in a couple of different robotics camps and programs in middle school. During quarantine, I spent a lot of time learning about VEX robotics and building my own mini robots, and also experimenting with writing code to program the robot and make it perform specific tasks. I want to put these skills to the test by building a robot with a robotics team! Lastly, I’ve always been interested about organizing community events and initiatives. For the past two years, I’ve organized a Dublin drive to collect used and new toys, as well as canned food, for the Luso-American Financial, which would distribute the toys and food to families around the community. I’ve had a really fun time organizing this toy drive because I get to work with my friends to advertise the drive in my neighborhood and tell people about why they should donate. Last year, we collected 34 toys and $300 in cash, and the year before that, we collected over 180 pounds of food! I want to plan another drive with my team for this fall.

I’m confident that I’ll be able to devote enough time towards YAC meetings and events alongside all of these other activities! (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* I know that Dublin already has a strong social media presence and posts about upcoming events and things happening around the city, but since teens are very tech-savvy, it would be really cool to introduce new social media challenges to get teens more involved. Dublin could post on the social media about doing a new scavenger hunt every month or creating a Dublin Wordle, which would make teens very interested in staying updated about the events happening in the city.

Through the YAC, I also want to open up more volunteer opportunities for youth and teens to volunteer at city-wide events. I know that a lot of my friends enjoy volunteering at events like the St. Patrick’s Day festival, Splatter, and Dublin Pride Week, but they’ve often mentioned how the volunteer spots get filled up, or that they don’t get to volunteer alongside their friends and classmates. Introducing more volunteer initiatives, like creek cleanups and beautification projects, would encourage more teens to get their volunteer hours signed while also having fun.

Lastly, I believe that Dublin can organize more teen-centered events to increase youth involvement. A lot of the Dublin events are made for everyone, including children, youth, adults, and senior citizens, but having some events be focussed just towards teens may get them more involved. Dublin’s current teen events, like the Youth Job and Career Fair, are really awesome, but I believe that we can create even more youth events! Some ideas I have are creating a teen makeathon, doing a stress management class, and helping high school seniors with their college applications for free. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

6. Have you recently attended a YAC or other Dublin Commission or City Council meeting? If yes, what was the meeting date and what was the outcome of the item(s) you were interested in?* Yes, I attended the YAC meeting on March 23rd, 2022. I listened to the YAC members discuss about a round table event for Tri-Valley youth committees where members from Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Livermore come together, which sounded fun. They also spoke about the new Cultural Arts Center, how it came about and even appointed a YAC member to assist with the business plan.

An outcome from the meeting that got me very excited, was the teen hackathon. For the longest time I have done hackathons with my friends, we always go against high schoolers and even college graduates, which puts us at a disadvantage. This YAC meeting, the YAC members discussed about hosting a hackathon for my age group (11-13 years), which I am looking forward to participating with my friends this Spring!

To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for taking the time to consider my student, Adi Jain, for a position on the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee. I have been Adi’s science teacher for the current school year at Fallon Middle School. The students at this school are extremely hard-working and academically driven, and Adi Jain ranks among the finest of them.

As a student, Adi is all a teacher could ask for. In class, he is always very attentive and engaged with the lesson content. He needs very little redirection or even instruction, as he is very self-motivated and self-disciplined. He has the intelligence to work and learn autonomously, but is not too proud to ask for help when he doesn’t understand the nuances of a topic. In my class Adi consistently scores well on assignments and tests while being an active participant in class discussions.

As a person, Adi is compassionate and wants to leave a positive imprint on the world around him. He cares about his peers. He cares about his community. He’s a proactive individual who wants to put more good into the world. As part of our school leadership council, Adi has helped organize and execute countless events and activities including fundraisers, assemblies, and lunch-time games.

Fallon Middle School is a better place because of Adi Jain, and I have no doubts that the city of Dublin and the Youth Advisory Committee will be as well.

What really sets Adi apart from his peers is that he is very conscientious, socially aware, and mature for his age. He is one of few students who takes the initiative to contact me when he has to miss school. If you are looking for ambitious, competent individuals who are invested in their community and want to make Dublin an even better place for people of all ages, I strongly recommend you accept Adi Jain’s application.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Matt Gibson

To whom it may concern:

As the lead teacher of the World Language Department at Fallon middle school, I am writing to you in support of Mr. Adi Jain and his desire to join the Youth Advisory Committee.

Adi has been my student for close to a year and he has shown academic aptitude and ambition that reaches above and beyond.

Adi is in my French class. He has often made critical points on class discussions that demonstrated his exceptional ability to analyze French literature and grammatical concepts. His written work is exemplary and often lauded by the class. He demonstrates a critical mind when discussing aspect of French culture and history.

Adi is an asset to any social interactions in class and provide support and critical feedback to her peers. Adi speaks in the target language any chance he gets and assists students in pursuing the same goal.

Adi’s curiosity about the inner workings of language along with his drive for higher education is what makes him such an exceptional student. Without reservation, I highly recommend Adi for your program. Please do not hesitate to contact me to provide you with any further information regarding Mr. Adi Jain.

Best regards,

1. Why do you want to become a member of the City of Dublin Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)?* I want to become a member of the Dublin Youth Advisory Committee because I believe that, in a community, everyone deserves a chance to have their voice heard. When I first moved to Dublin in 2016, I was honestly surprised by the number of events there were. I remember being excited as a fifth-grader when I saw the number of activities there were for children to participate in. As a tenth-grader now, I look back on it and want to help create more experiences like that for youth. I would love to be able to be a part of the YAC to plan new activities to captivate Dublin’s youth. My experiences as a student have opened my eyes to the amount of diversity within our community, most of which isn’t very represented. For example, I find that my peers tend to stay quiet about things they may be struggling with, like mental health, sexuality, or gender. Since the YAC works on creating activities for the youth of our community, I thought this would be a great opportunity to bring up these topics.

As someone who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I found that Dublin doesn’t have any big events around this subcommunity, or at least nothing that is very publicly advertised within schools. Regarding the mental health of students, I’ve found that most of my peers are hesitant to discuss the topic and their personal issues in an open setting due to the stigma surrounding such topics. Even though Dublin High has made fantastic strides forward regarding both of these groups (specifically with the implementation of a wellness center), it is important to promote these resources so students would actively utilize the support network this city has built for them. . If I were to become a YAC member, I would focus on bringing awareness to these groups, projecting their voices, and ensuring that they are aware of the resources available to them. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What skills do you possess that would make you a strong candidate for the YAC?* Some skills that I have, that I believe make me a good candidate for the YAC, are that I am organized, punctual, and dedicated. I have spent my time in quite a few extra-curricular activities. Some of the long-term activities I have been involved in are Bharatanatyam (dance), art, martial arts, and orchestra. I have been a part of my high school’s robotics team for the past two years, and I currently run my own Indian Arts Club. Being a part of a dance group for essentially my entire life, starting at age 4, I learned valuable skills like organization, teamwork, time management, punctuality, and so much more.

Since I have been doing dance the longest, the skills I learned there translated into other clubs and extracurricular activities that helped me refine these skills, as well as develop others. Growing up, I always felt a strong sense of community and constantly was at social gatherings that related to my culture. I wanted to bring that feeling into my school by starting an Indian Arts Club since I always found myself drawn towards the arts of my culture. Starting my own club was a step into my own independent sense of leadership, which really needed me to be organized and punctual in order to smoothly run the meetings.

I had to coordinate with the club board and our club supervisor to plan meeting, keep track of members, and recently we have been organizing a performance for Dubversity. I have been a part of Orchestra since 6th grade, and in 8th I was given the responsibility of being a section leader for the 2nd violins. It was my first real lunge into an important leadership role and also helped me with my communication skills. Martial arts and robotics helped me with my confidence to actually speak out about my opinions. Balancing these classes alongside normal schooling really tests my time management skills. As most people would be, I was not very good at a lot of these activities when I started, but, through my dedication for wanting to learn these topics that each class or activity covers, I persisted. By continuing them and not giving up, I was able to learn a variety of skills that other people have helped me refine.

3. What do you believe are issues teens in Dublin are currently dealing with, and how do you think YAC could address these issues?*
I think a big issue within teens that needs to be addressed is the diversity we have, which creates a want for belonging.

Everyone is so different from one another, but we also seek comfort within our peers. From the people I have spoken to, teens are struggling with mental health issues that are rarely addressed, or if they are, they aren’t properly advertised. Having to live through such an impactful part of world history, that being COVID-19, and suddenly having to change how you live your life is a lot for anyone, more so teenagers who are struggling with just finding themselves. I found that going back to in-person school created a whole new wave on anxiety around social situations and school in general. I did fairly well academically through the virtual school, but it took a toll on my social skills. Coming to an in-person school this year led to the exact opposite happening, where I felt very overwhelmed with school work but I found social interactions to be easier. I found that quite a few of my friends felt the same way. We could hold a public forum, whether physical or online so that people can talk about their experiences. If this forum were to be online, it could give more people a voice, since some students may not feel comfortable talking about experiences face-to-face with strangers. It would also be more accessible since some people have a hard time finding free slots to attend events, so it being online could allow more people to participate in their free time. If this forum were a physical, in-person, activity, people might have an easier time meeting people and becoming friends with others who can relate to their experiences. Similarly, I found that Dublin has no Pride events or at least none that have been advertised towards teens. Personally, a lot of my friends and classmates identify as members of that community, but I see barely any representation. I think it would be beneficial to our community that, as the YAC, an event is arranged so that members of the LGBTQ+ community feel more welcome. Since June is Pride month, it might be a good time to start the idea and arrange a Pride Parade for the members of our community and advertise towards teens. Apart from the one month of June, there are other important days that surround LGBTQ+ history, and we could plan for things to be arranged during those, or simply put out informational guides explaining why it is significant. The main issue surrounding teens is that we have a hard time finding a proper place to voice our opinions, so the YAC could help create a safe space for our youth to do that. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What activities are you currently involved in or will be involved in during the 2022-2023 school year, and will you be able to devote time each month for YAC meetings and activities?* Currently, I do dance, martial arts, and art outside of school. In connection to my school, I am part of our orchestra, robotics team, and run my own club. Apart from all of this, I also work a job at The Art Process on Fridays. Over the 2022-2023 school year, I plan to continue dance, martial arts, art, robotics, and my club. I will also continue to work, though my schedule for that may change. Overall, my workload would be about the same, the major difference being that I will not be a part of my school orchestra. I am, however, looking for out-of-school youth orchestras that I can join. Since I am already used to balancing these activities, I would be able to use my time management skills to devote time towards the YAC. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

5. How would you get other teens involved in the community, teen events, and City-sponsored activities?* Since teens now use social media a lot, I think the main form of advertising would be through there. I would use different social media, like Instagram or Discord, in order to create communities and encourage teens to join the events and City-sponsored events. I have some experience with digital art and graphic design, so I feel that I would be able to put to use those skills when advertising. As mentioned before, I run a club in my school and I need to make advertisements for the promotion of meetings.

I have been able to navigate apps like Discord, which a lot of teens use for communication, and successfully make servers designed for large groups. So far, I have ran two private servers for fairly large groups of friends, and I currently run one semipublic server with my friend that was designed for our school's PLTW Biomedical Academy. Though it is informal, a lot of student have joined and do discuss their class on there. I know a lot of teens feel a disconnect in social activities due to the break in “normal” events we had from COVID-19. By posting on different social platforms, I would get more youth interested in, as well as raise general awareness about, the events that we hold. Personally, I knew very little about these events until I had some friends tell me about them. The only things I knew were that the events happened, but I had a hard time finding exact dates, times, and locations for them. With proper advertising, we could increase awareness and interest in these events so that more teens participate.

Dear Selection Committee,
I am pleased to recommend Aadya Penchala for admission to the Dublin Youth Advisory Council. I have the privilege of being Aadi’s French 3 teacher this year and her club’s supervisor at DHS.

From day one, Aadya has put nothing but her best effort into everything she does in class. Although a bit quiet at first, she truly blossomed later on, participating often and doing her best to speak and write in French. Her efforts in learning the French language and culture, her curiosity, and consistency served her well in class projects where she shined as a confident and a creative young lady who’s always ready to collaborate with her classmates in an amicable and effective way.

In addition to her academic performance and creativity, Aadya is a leader who started an Indian/Desi Art Club to educate her friends about the different aspects of art in that region. She meets with her team every other week in my classroom. She organizes the meetings and prepares professional presentations to help the club explore the different Indian architecture, dance and music.

Aadya’s respect for other cultures, artistic talents, and leadership skills make her a great candidate for the Dublin Youth Advisory Council and assure that she can do an excellent job in planning events that benefit the diverse youth community of Dublin.

Sincerely,
Claude Isaac
French teacher

1. Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission?* I moved to Dublin when I was in 4th grade, and I have been living here for nearly 6 years now. I’ve practically grown up in this city, and I’ve been lucky enough to see the city provide myself and other community members with wonderful facilities such as excellent schools, a multitude of sports and recreation programs, excellent schools, and of course, our very own water park.

More than anything, I admire the unity and harmony which I see throughout the Dublin community everyday. I’m interested in serving on the commission because I feel it will give me the opportunity to give back to the community I cherish so much. I would be able to represent all of the youth of Dublin as a student representative, and I hope my inputs will help the city develop and progress in years to come for the development and progress of my City. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What is the most important contribution you can make to the Commission?* Being a student representative, I’d like to be the voice of the youth of Dublin and provide more opportunities which will be beneficial for them. By providing more enrichment, fitness, meditation, yoga and dance classes we can keep the student community physically and mentally fit and active, even if they aren’t interested in joining a sport which requires more time commitment. I’ll also try to work for the addition of more diverse summer camps for different activities which can bring the Youth community of Dublin together, and provide them the opportunity to communicate, socialize, and build relationships with each other. Also, I’d like to focus on preserving our city’s parks by looking to keep them clean and free of debris. I will also try my best to encourage Dublin youth to participate more through volunteering in various city events. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What knowledge do you have of the parks and recreational facilities in Dublin?* Being in Dublin for the past 6 years, I’m very familiar with a plethora of the activities which the city has to offer. As soon as the Dublin Wave opened, I started enrolling in swimming lessons there, along with visiting the water park every weekend. The cricket nets at Emerald Glen have always been a key part of my cricketing journey throughLw the years, as I’ve practiced there twice every week with the Dublin Cricket League based there, and then played games every weekend at the Emerald Glen Cricket Pitch. I also live near Fallon Sports Park, so I tend to go there and really enjoy just jogging lightly around the field.

My brother is also currently taking Tennis Lessons through the city at Fallon Sports Park as well. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

This year, I’ve gotten involved in the various programs conducted by the YAC, such as Dublin’s First Youth Mental Health Forum, as well as the opportunity to volunteer as a YAC member for various city sponsored programs such as Splatter, the Harvest Fair, the Annual Tree Lighting, and the Saint Patrick’s Day Festival. Currently, I’m also serving on the ad hoc committee for the Dublin Youth Benefit Concert, and the Dublin Youth Hack-a-Thon.

1. Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission?* I am interested in the Parks and Community Services Commission as I want to give back to my community as much as possible as the positive Dublin community has shaped me into who I am today. I have seen, through my experiences as a member of the Youth Advisory Council, that the Commission partakes and hosts in multiple city-related activities and is a large, unrecognized part of Dublin residents’ lives. Having spent the latter part of my childhood in Dublin, I have been able to integrate myself more with my society by volunteering at events like the Harvest Fair and hanging out at the Farmer’s Market with my friend. As the Dublin community has given me multiple memorable experiences, I hope to be part of the commission to fulfill my civic duty to my community by giving back and making a positive and beneficial impact on the town as well as the people.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

2. What is the most important contribution you can make to the Commission?* The most important contribution I can make to the Commission would be bringing a student’s, a teenager’s view. By being the only student on the commission, I would represent my fellow peers as well as Dublin’s youth and give them a voice in our government. I hope that, by being part of the commission, I can educate my peers about our government, which I have seen is not very well known about by the youth of Dublin. By interacting with those on the commission as well as my peers, I would be able to help communicate the ideas between generations much more clearly, allowing the ideas produced by the commission to become more impactful and beneficial to all Dublin residents. (This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

3. What knowledge do you have of the parks and recreational facilities in Dublin?* From the five years, I have been a Dublin Resident, I have learned that the parks and recreational facilities are much more widespread than the common beliefs of maintaining the parks; such as managing programs at the Wave as well as planning the Farmer’s Market every year.
(This box can be expanded by expanding the lower right hand corner of this box. This option may not be available for the Internet Explorer browser.)

4. What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you ever participated in a program (such as J.A.W.S., Dublin L.E.A.D., J.L.P., Youth Advisory Committee - YAC) or class offered by the Parks and Community Services Department? * The majority of my knowledge of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services department comes from my experience being a Youth Advisory Committee member for the 2021-2022 term. I know that the department hosts and volunteers at multiple events, some of which I have volunteered at like the Harvest Fair. I moved to Dublin when I was around 11 and I did not partake in any summer programs, but my brother has and from what I have seen, the department’s programs are executed very well.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to recommend Esha Shenoy for the Student Representative Position for the Dublin Parks and Recreation Department. Esha has been my student since August of 2020 in the Dublin High School Orchestra.

Esha is a kind, positive student who can be counted on to come on time to each rehearsal. She is a good listener and receives information well. She is kind to those around her and easily makes friends.

As a member of the Dublin High School Orchestra, Esha has seen the program and culture grow over her two years. As a member who has stayed committed to orchestra for two years, she has helped set a tone of commitment and an attitude that Orchestra is more than a class. This is an attitude that I’m sure she will bring elsewhere.

In conclusion, Esha is a respectful student, and is dedicated to the Orchestra program. If Esha were to join your committee, I know she would bring the same level of dedication and citizenship to your organization. For these reasons, I suggest that you accept her.

Sincerely,
Elliot Polot

Background
On January 7, 1994, the City Council adopted a General Plan Amendment and the EDSP, which provides a comprehensive land use program for the planning area of roughly 3,300 acres, along with goals and policies to guide future public and private actions relating to the area’s development.

On March 17, 1998, the City Council adopted a PD Rezone (Ordinance No. 30-98) for the Creekside Office Park Project, which includes the project site located at 5751 Arnold Road. The PD zoning district established general provisions, development regulations and design guidelines for a larger

31.2-acre area that includes Hites Plaza. The PD, as written, encourages a site layout and building design that creates the appearance of a singular workplace, rather than independent developments, to accommodate a mix of office, and research and development uses. Hites Plaza includes two development pads envisioned to accommodate a mix of office and research and development uses. One of those sites was constructed and fully occupied but the second site has remained undeveloped.

Proposed Project
The Applicant proposes to construct an assisted living and memory care facility on the undeveloped site. The proposed use is defined by the Zoning Ordinance as a “Community Care Facility, Large,” which is considered a commercial use type. The proposed project is a two-story, approximately 155,517-square-foot community care facility. A total of 152 units are proposed, including 114 assisted living units, 38 memory care units and a total of 174 beds. In addition to the assisted living and memory care units, the first and second floor of the facility would provide a range of amenities and support facilities for residents and staff. These amenities include two courtyards, one for assisted living residents and the other for memory care residents, a kitchen, lobby area, offices, medical facilities, living areas, theatre, activity areas and dining rooms.

Associated site, frontage, and landscape improvements are also proposed. Refer to Figure 2 for the proposed site plan. Requested approvals include a PD Rezone with a related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan and a Site Development Review (SDR) Permit. 729

Figure 2. Proposed Site Plan
Analysis
Planned Development Rezone
The project site has an existing PD zoning district (Ordinance No. 30-98), which allows business, administrative and professional office uses. To accommodate the proposed project, the application includes a PD Rezone. The proposed PD establishes a detailed Development Plan for the site, including permitted and conditionally permitted uses, the overall development density and intensity (e.g., floor area ratio, building heights, setbacks, etc.) and design guidelines. A “Community Care Facility, Large” as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, would be the only use allowed by the PD. Table 2 provides an overview of the proposed development standards for the proposed project.

Site Development Review Permit
The following is a summary of the key components of the project associated with the SDR Permit.

The draft Resolution approving the SDR Permit is included as Attachment 2 with the project plans included as Attachment 3.

Site Design and Access: The project site is accessed from a new single driveway off Arnold Road that leads directly to the building’s front entrance and parking area located to the north of the building. This driveway aligns with the signalized intersection at Arnold Road and Horizon Parkway. The site is also accessed from adjacent properties through joint access easements that provide access to Central Parkway and Hacienda Drive. Adjacent to the building’s front entry is a large, covered canopy, which allows for resident and guest pick-up and drop-off. Further east is a loading and receiving area, trash enclosure, and generator enclosure.

As part of the project, a new sidewalk will be installed along the project driveway from Arnold Road to the building entrance. In addition, new curb ramps will be installed at the intersection of Arnold Road and the new driveway. Refer to Sheet A1.0 in the project plans for the site plan.

Architecture: The project’s architectural style utilizes a contemporary design approach that uses varying planes, materials, and colors to break up the mass and complement the architecture of the mix of surrounding residential and commercial uses. The two-story building is accented with changes in exterior cladding and colors, modern style windows that vary in size, awnings, and a multiple-level, flat roof. The main entry is highlighted through a large canopy providing cover for vehicle pick-up and drop-off. The building is finished with a variety of materials including engineered wood-look panel veneer, smooth stucco, and cultured stone veneer. The proposed paint colors are neutral in nature with white, grey, and taupe colors used on the varying wall planes as well as the brown wood panels, and tan color used to accentuate the canopy and front entrance of the building. The color and materials are shown in the project plans on Sheets A4.0– A4.4.

Landscaping: Landscaping will be provided throughout the parking lot, around the perimeter of the building, and around the perimeter of the site to provide a visual buffer and screening to surrounding uses. This includes a landscape buffer along Arnold Road that would help to soften the project frontage. Various evergreen and ornamental trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, ground cover, and vines are provided. There are 118 existing trees on the project site, of which 86 trees are proposed to be removed within the existing parking lot to accommodate the building, and 32 trees would be preserved, including existing mature trees along Arnold Road. Two of the trees proposed for removal are dead, and none are considered heritage trees. A total of 87 trees would be planted as part of the proposed project.
731

Page 6 of 8 ends

The proposed project provides approximately 17,644 square feet of private open space, including 6,187 square feet for the memory care courtyard and 11,457 square feet for the assisted living courtyard. Landscaping would be provided within the memory care and assisted living courtyards, which would incorporate illuminated walkways, a seating area and activity space for residents.

The proposed landscape plan is shown in the project plans on Sheet L100. An arborist report evaluating the on-site trees in included as Attachment 4.

Public Art: The Applicant intends to satisfy the requirements of the City’s Public Art Ordinance through the payment of in lieu fees. Condition of Approval No. 16 in the Resolution approving the SDR Permit captures this requirement.

CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE:

The proposed community care facility and its respective site improvements are consistent with the General Plan and EDSP land use designation of Campus Office, which allows commercial service uses, such as the proposed facility. In addition, the proposed use will provide for an attractive, campus-like setting for a non-retail commercial use that will not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or glare. The proposed floor area ratio of 0.62 is consistent with the floor area ratio of the Campus Office land use designation of 0.25 to 0.80. The proposed use and improvements are also consistent with the proposed Planned Development zoning district.

REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:

The Building and Safety Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Department, and Dublin San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided conditions of approval, where appropriate, to ensure that the project is established in compliance with all local ordinances and regulations. Conditions of approval from these departments and agencies have been included in the draft Resolution approving the Site Development Review Permit for the project (Attachment 2).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Development of the project site was previously addressed in the General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (1993 GPA/SP EIR) for which the City Council certified an Environmental Impact Report and an Addendum on August 22, 1994.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 53-93, the City Council adopted a Mitigation Measures and Monitoring Program, which continues to apply to development in Eastern Dublin. The City Council also adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations in connection with certification of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) including Section 21166 and related CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, the City prepared an 732

Page 7 of 8 ends

Initial Study to determine whether additional environmental review was required for the proposed Dublin Senior Living project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City determined that no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required for the proposed project and an Addendum to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR is the appropriate CEQA review, as there were no new potentially significant impacts associated with the project (refer to Attachment 5). The City further determined that the 1993 GPA/SP EIR adequately addressed the potential environmental impacts of the Dublin Senior Living project as there are no significant project changes, new information, or change in circumstances that result in a new or substantial increase in severity of a significant impact from those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR. Therefore, no standards for requiring supplemental environmental review or documentation under CEQA are met and none are required for the project. Since completion of the CEQA Addendum, minor revisions have been made to address the number of trees to be removed, preserved and planted as part of project implementation. No other revisions were made or required. As these revisions are editorial in nature, they do not affect the outcome of the environmental analysis conducted or increase related impacts that were evaluated in the CEQA Addendum. Refer to Attachment 6, Errata Memorandum on the CEQA Addendum. In addition, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is provided as Attachment 7.

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:

On May 10, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed project.

One member of the public addressed the Commission regarding the project.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN

CONSIDERING THE CEQA ADDENDUM, AMENDING THE ZONING MAP AND APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT WITH A RELATED STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2

DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE DUBLIN SENIOR LIVING PROJECT
PLPA 2021-00042
(APN 986-0014-013-00)
The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Applicant, South Bay Partners, LLC., proposes to develop a community care facility located at 5751 Arnold Road. The proposed project consists of a two-story, 155,517-square-foot building with 152 units, including 114 assisted living units, 38 memory care units and a total of 174 beds.

Common space amenity areas, and associated site, frontage and landscape improvements are also proposed. Requested approvals include a Planned Development Rezoning with a related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan and Site Development Review Permit. These planning and implementing actions are collectively known as the “Dublin Senior Living Project” or the “Project”.

B. The Project site is approximately 5.74 acres located on the east side of Arnold Road, north of Central Parkway (APN 986-0014-013-00).

C. The Project site has a General Plan land use designation of Campus Office and is located in a Planned Development Zoning District (Ordinance No. 30-98).

D. The community care facility is consistent with the Campus Office land use designation but requires amendments to the Planned Development Zoning District.

E. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the CEQA Guidelines and City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared.

F. The Project site is located in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, for which the City Council certified an Environmental Impact Report and an addendum on August 22, 1994 (1993 GPA/SP EIR), which identified impacts from development of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The City Council adopted mitigation measures, a mitigation monitoring program and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (Resolution No. 53-93, incorporated herein by reference).

G. The City prepared an Initial Study to determine whether supplemental environmental review was required for the proposed Project under CEQA standards. The Initial Study examined whether there were substantial changes to the proposed development, substantial changes in circumstances, or new information, any of which would result in new or more severe significant impacts than previously analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, or whether any standards for supplemental environmental review were met.
735
Ord. No. XX-22, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2022 Page 2 of 8 H. Upon completion of the Initial Study, it was determined that there were no new potentially significant impacts associated with the Project and, therefore, an Addendum to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR was prepared.

I. Following a properly noticed public hearing on May 10, 2022, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 22-07 recommending that the City Council consider the CEQA Addendum, and approve of a Zoning Map Amendment, a Planned Development Rezone with a related Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan and a Site Development Review Permit for the Dublin Senior Living Project, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference and available at City Hall during normal business hours.

J. A Staff Report, dated June 7, 2022, and incorporated herein by reference, described and analyzed the Project, including the CEQA Addendum, Zoning Map Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning and Site Development Review Permit for the City Council.

K. On June 7, 2022, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the Project, including the Zoning Map Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning and Site Development Review Permit at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard.

L. The City Council considered the Addendum to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, as well as the prior 1993 GPA/SP EIR and all above-referenced reports, recommendations, and testimony before taking any action on the Project.

M. The City Council did hear and use independent judgment and considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.

Section 2: Findings
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code (DMC), the City Council finds as follows.

1. The Dublin Senior Living Project (“the Project”) PD-Planned Development Zoning meets the purpose and intent of DMC Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a comprehensive development plan that creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan. The Project is planned comprehensively and will follow development standards tailored to the specific needs of the site. These standards will address issues such as building setbacks, architecture, landscaping and grading. The proposed facility will blend with the natural features unique to the site through the use of design and planning.

The Applicant proposes internal common space areas and landscape amenity areas around the building, which are consistent with the provisions and regulations for development set forth therein.

2. Development of the Project under the PD-Planned Development Zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area in that the site will provide for a new community care facility, which as a commercial service use type will be similar to other nearby uses, which include a mix of commercial, office, residential (single-family and multifamily), institutional, and civic uses.

B. Pursuant to DMC Sections 8.120.050 A and B, the City Council finds as follows. 736
Ord. No. XX-22, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2022 Page 3 of 8

1. The PD-Planned Development Zoning for the Project will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that the proposed site plan has taken into account adjacent land uses and will provide a wide range of amenities for residents of the facility. The Project will allow for elderly residents of surrounding neighborhoods to continue to reside in Dublin and will provide employment opportunities. The proposed site plan has considered a land use type and density that is compatible with the adjacent area and densities.

2. The Project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being proposed in that the site is flat with access provided from Arnold Road and is served by existing public utilities. The Project site conditions are documented in the Addendum to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and prior certified 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and the Project will implement all adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. There are no site conditions that have been identified that will present an impediment to development of the site for the proposed community care facility.

3. The PD-Planned Development Zoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare in that the Project will comply with all applicable development regulations and standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. In order to ensure adequate emergency vehicle access to all portions of the site, access is provided to the site from Arnold Road.

4. The PD-Planned Development Zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, in that the proposed use as a community care facility is consistent with the existing Campus Office land use designation for the site, which allows commercial service uses. The Project complies with this designation as it will provide for an attractive, campus-like setting for a non-retail commercial use that will not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or glare.

Section 3: Zoning Map Amendment
Pursuant to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.32, the City of Dublin Zoning Map is amended to rezone the property described below to a Planned Development Zoning District, and supersedes and replaces the previously adopted zoning (Resolution No. 30-98):

5.74 acres located on the east side of Arnold Road, north of Central Parkway (Assessor Parcel Number 986-0014-013-00) (“the Property”).

 Use high quality modern materials including engineered wood-look panel veneer, smooth stucco finish, cultured stone veneer, and provide for stucco clad framed elements to break down the building form into more human scale volumes.
 Colors shall be neutral in nature, while bright/harsh primary colors shall be avoided.  Windows shall provide for a modern style and vary in size and configuration, while being free of decorative mullions.
 Where appropriate, given the orientation of the building to the sun, modern metal canopies shall be provided above windows to employ shade to respective units.  Provide functional outdoor spaces for residents, which allows for gathering and socializing, with landscaping, outdoor seating, enhanced paving treatment, and other features to provide an appropriate urban scale for the development.

8. Preliminary Landscaping Plan.

The conceptual landscape design of the Project shall reflect the following standards:
 Create a park-like environment that is utilized by the residents.  Provide plentiful green space and natural habitat that utilizes a native and climate-adaptive planting palette to Dublin, and is considered moderate or low water use.  Provide a generous landscape buffer along Arnold Road that softens the main street frontage.
 Preserve existing trees where possible along the site perimeter to further enhance the landscape buffer and better integrate the new development into the surrounding community.  Utilize plants that provide a year-round vegetated landscape with seasonality, color, and interest for an attractive visual environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding the Site Development Review Permit for the Dublin Senior Living Project:

A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) of the Zoning Ordinance, with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines because: 1) the proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Campus Office as it will provide for an attractive, campus-like setting for a nonretail commercial use that will not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or glare; 2) the proposed Project gives thoughtful consideration to the adjacent residential development through setbacks, height and a consistent architectural design; and 3) the proposed Project will conform to the allowable uses and development standards as stated in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan.

B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1) the Planned Development Zoning provides a comprehensive development plan that creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan; and 2) development of the Project under the Planned Development Zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area, in that the site will provide new care facility for senior residents.

C. The design of the Project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties, and the lot(s) in which the Project is proposed because: 1) the project site is adjacent to Medium-High Density Residential and Campus Office uses; 2) the proposed development will consist of a 744
Reso. No. XX-22, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2022 Page 3 of 34 community care facility for the senior population and will serve the Dublin community and surrounding areas; and 3) the design of the Project has taken into account sensitive adjacencies and will provide a community care facility for senior residents.

D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development because: 1) the Project site is relatively flat with improved public streets and utilities; and 2) development intensity is similar to adjacent properties.

E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: 1) the Project site is relatively flat; 2) the roadway and utility infrastructure to serve the site already exist; and 3) future approval of grading and improvement plans will enable the site to be modified to suit the Project, which will be developed for the site in accordance with City policies and regulations.

F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments in the vicinity because: 1) the building has been designed to be consistent with the quality and standards of the adjacent residential community (The Boulevard); 2) the site layout provides for a re-aligned intersection at Arnold Road and Horizon Parkway that easily connects the Project to the adjacent community, and the Project will concentrate activity internally to the site with the front entrance adequately setback from the street and continued access provided to adjacent properties; and 3) the proposed Project includes a landscape buffer between the Project and Arnold Road that softens the main street frontage.

G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public because: 1) the plant species will provide for plentiful green space and natural habitat that utilizes a native and climateadaptive planting palette to Dublin, which is drought tolerant and compatible with the existing plant species in the area; 2) the Project includes internal courtyard gathering spaces as well as external walkways, seating area and activity space that surround the building, thereby creating a park-like environment for residents; and 3) Project landscaping conforms to the requirements of the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist, pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) access to the site is provided from a singular driveway off Arnold Road; 2) all infrastructure including, pathways, sidewalks, and lighting have been reviewed for conformance with City policies, regulations, and best practices and have been designed with multi-modal travel in mind; and 3) the Project has been reviewed by the Public Works Department and Fire Department and adequate access and circulation has been provided onsite.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby approve the Site Development Review Permit for the Dublin Senior Living Project subject to the conditions included below, and other plans, and text relating to this Site Development Review Permit.

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:

Unless stated otherwise, all Conditions of Approval shall be complied with prior to the issuance of building permits or establishment of use, and shall be subject to Planning Department review and 745

review and approval by DSRSD of preliminary design
reports, design criteria, and final plans and specifications.

The DSRSD reserves the right to require payment of
present worth 30 year operations and maintenance costs as well as other conditions within a separate agreement with the Applicant/Developer for any project that requires a pumping station.
175. The District employs Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a fixed water meter reading system. The system
uses radio communication between the individual water
meter boxes or vaults and Tower Gateway Base Stations
(TGBs) to transmit data on water consumption and meter
readings. Due to the high density and tall profile of the buildings in this project, the buildings themselves may hinder effective communication between the individual
meter boxes and the TGBs. Applicant shall fund an AMI
Propagation Study provided by the District to determine if supplementary AMI communication equipment is required.

If findings show that additional communication equipment is required, the Applicant/Developer shall be responsible for providing site and installation off supplementary equipment specific to the District’s AMI system, as approved by both the City of Dublin and the District.

Dublin, CA
Introduction and Overview
SmithGroup is preparing plans to re-develop the subject property located at 5751 Arnold Road in Dublin. HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, a Division of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company, was asked to prepare an Arborist Report for this project for submittal to the City of Dublin. The property consists of a vacant building pad surrounded by parking lots and landscaping, adjacent to other developed commercial lots.

This report provides the following information:

1. An assessment of the health, structural condition, and suitability for preservation of the trees located on and adjacent to the proposed project area based on a visual inspection from the ground.

2. An assessment of the trees that would be preserved and removed based on preliminary development plans.

3. Preliminary guidelines for tree preservation during the design, construction,and maintenance phases of development.

Tree Assessment Methods
Trees were assessed on July 29, 2021. The assessment included all trees measuring 5 inches and larger in diameter located within and adjacent to the project area. Tree tag numbers started at #350.

The assessment procedure was a visual assessment from the ground, consisting of the following steps:

1. Identifying the tree species.

2. Attaching a numerically coded metal tag to the trunk of each tree.

3. Recording the tree’s location on a map.

4. Measuring the trunk diameter at a point 54-inches above grade.

5. Evaluating the health and structural condition using a scale of 0 – 5:
5 - A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease, with good structure and form typical of the species.
4 - Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, or minor structural defects that could be corrected.
3 - Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, thinning of crown, poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care. 2 - Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated.
1 - Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage from epicormic shoots (secondary shoots that arise along the trunk and branches); extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.

6. Commenting on the presence of defects in structure, insects or diseases and other aspects of development.

7. Evaluating suitability for preservation as low, moderate and high. 822

Description of Trees
One hundred thirty-seven (137) trees representing ten (10) species were evaluated (Table 1). The east side of the property was not consistently indicated by fences or other boundary markers. In these locations, trees may or may not be on the subject property. Overall, about three-quarters of the population (104 trees) were in fair condition and 25 trees (18%) were in poor condition; six redwoods were in good condition. Trees #352 and #365 were dead. Four species only had one tree present.

Descriptions of each tree are found in the Tree Assessment, and approximate locations are plotted on the Tree Assessment Plan (see Exhibits).

Chinese hackberry and Raywood ash were the most frequently occurring species, each with about 35% of the population. Forty-nine (49) Chinese hackberries were planted throughout the parking lot in beds of various sizes (Photo 1). Almost all were in fair condition (45 trees): four trees were poor.

None of the hackberries was in good condition. Diameters ranged from 6 to 16 inches. Most trees had multiple attachments and a history of limb removal.

Forty-eight (48) Raywood ashes were present, growing along the edges of the parking lot or in larger planting islands (Photo 2). Condition was predominantly fair (34 trees), with 14 trees in poor condition.

None of the ashes were in good condition. Trees were mostly mature, with an average diameter of 17 inches. Raywood ashes #358 and 399 were the largest of the species at 23 inches. Several very young ashes with stems ranging from 2 to 6 inches had been recently planted among shrubs at the north end of the lot.

Twenty-six (26) coast redwoods were assessed, several growing just off-site. Most (19 trees) were in fair condition (Photo 3). Trees #463 – 467 and off-site tree #480 were in good condition with upright form typical of the species and good vigor. Redwood #362 was in poor condition with very sparse crown, crowded among shrubs. Age was semi-mature, with diameters ranging from 13 to 22 inches. 823

Four Callery pears were present, young to
semi-mature in development with diameters
ranging from 6 to 11 inches. Two were in fair
condition and two were in poor. All had multiple
branch attachments that were narrow and
crowded.

Four sawleaf zelkovas were assessed at the
northeast corner of the property. All were
possibly off-site. The zelkovas had wide, low
crowns and rounded form. Zelkova #461 was in
shrub form. Stem diameters ranged from 9 to
11 inches, and all were in fair condition.

Purpleleaf plums #352 and 365 were leaning and dead, located in a wide planting area among other trees along Arnold Road. They were small trees of 6 and 8 inches, respectively.

The remaining four species were represented by a single tree:
• River birch #364 was a young 9-inch diameter tree growing near the southwest corner of the parking lot. It had a strong lean northeast and was in poor condition. • Thornless honey locust #439 was growing in a lawn area near a sidewalk and had a correcting lean east. It also had a diameter of 9 inches and was in poor condition with branch dieback.

Photo 1. Several of the Chinese hackberries
were growing in small square planters in the
parking lot.

Photo 2. Raywood ashes #433 and 434 were
growing in a larger end planter in the parking lot.

More hackberries are visible in background on
right.

Photo 3. Most of the redwoods were growing
off-site on a property to the north.

• Off-site Chinese pistache #481 was growing on
the property to the north along Arnold Road. It
had a wide, thin crown and was in poor
condition, suppressed by adjacent trees. The
pistache was a young tree with a diameter of 6
inches.
• Valley oak #440 was the largest tree assessed,
with a diameter of 24 inches (Photo 4). It was
the only Heritage tree on the property, growing
near a sidewalk and fire hydrant at the
southern edge of the site. It was leaning to the
southwest and had multiple attachments at
about 10 feet. It was in poor condition due to
the lean and some branch dieback.

The City of Dublin Heritage Tree Ordinance No. 29-99 defines a Heritage tree as any species native to the Dublin area (oak, bay, cypress, maple, redwood, buckeye or sycamore), which has a trunk diameter of 24" or more at 4.5'. Based on this definition, valley oak #440 qualified as Heritage.

Heritage designations are provided in the Tree Assessment Form (see attachments).

Suitability for Preservation
Trees that are preserved on sites where development or other improvements are planned, must be carefully selected to make sure that they may survive construction impacts, adapt to a new environment and perform well in the landscape. Our goal is to identify trees that have the potential for long-term health, structural stability and longevity. Evaluation of suitability for preservation considers several factors:
 Tree health
Healthy, vigorous trees are better able to tolerate impacts such as root injury, demolition of existing structures, changes in soil grade and moisture, and soil compaction than are nonvigorous trees. Trees in good condition are in better health than those in poor condition.  Structural integrity
Trees with significant amounts of wood decay and other structural defects that cannot be corrected are likely to fail. Such trees should not be preserved in areas where damage to people or property is likely. Defects such as codominant or multiple stems, lean and other deviations from the vertical, heavy branches and decay are problematic and may increase the potential for a tree to fail. For example, although there were no signs of obvious decay in Heritage valley oak #440, it had a strong lean which would preclude any recommendation for preservation.
 Species response
There is a wide variation in the response of individual species to construction impacts and changes in the environment. For instance, coast redwood and callery pear are tolerant of construction impacts, while Chinese hackberry are moderately tolerant. Raywood ash are intolerant of root severance.
 Tree age and longevity
Old trees, while having significant emotional and aesthetic appeal, have limited physiological capacity to adjust to an altered environment. Young trees are better able to generate new tissue and respond to change.

growing near utilities at the
south edge of the site.
825
Prelim. Arborist Report – Dublin Senior Living. Dublin, CA HortScience | Bartlett Consulting August 19, 2021 Page 5
 Species invasiveness
Species which spread across a site and displace desired vegetation are not always appropriate for retention. This is particularly true when indigenous species are displaced. The California Invasive Plant Inventory Database (www.cal-ipc.org) lists species identified as being invasive. Bay Point is part of the Central West Floristic Province. Purpleleaf plum has limited invasive potential, and Callery pear is on the watch list.

Each tree was rated for suitability for preservation based upon its age, health, structural condition and ability to safely coexist within a development environment (Table 2).

Table 2. Tree suitability for preservation. Dublin Senior Living. Dublin, CA.

High Trees with good health and structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site. Six trees were rated as having high suitability for preservation: coast redwoods #463 – 467 and #480.

Moderate Trees in fair health and/or possessing structural defects that may be abated with treatment. Trees in this category require more intense management and monitoring, and may have shorter life-spans than those in the “high” category.

One hundred and four (104) trees were rated as having moderate suitability for preservation.

Low Trees in poor health or possessing significant defects in structure that cannot be abated with treatment. These trees can be expected to decline regardless of management. The species or individual tree may possess either characteristics that are undesirable in landscape settings or be unsuited for use areas. Twentyfive (25) trees were rated as having low suitability for preservation.

Note: Table does not include purpleleaf plums #352 and 365. These trees were dead.

We consider trees with high suitability for preservation to be the best candidates for preservation during development. We do not generally recommend retention of trees with low suitability for preservation in areas where people or property will be present. Retention of trees with moderate suitability for preservation depends upon the intensity of proposed site changes.

Preliminary Evaluation of Impacts and Recommendations for Action Appropriate tree retention develops a practical match between the location and intensity of construction activities and the quality and health of trees. The tree assessment was the reference point for tree condition and quality. Impacts from the proposed project were assessed using the Dublin Senior Living Planning Pre-Application drawing set (SmithGroup, 7/16/2021). Only preliminary site, grading, utility and landscape plans were reviewed.

The plans propose construction of a senior community care facility with surface parking and landscaped areas. The existing vehicular entrance to the north will be shifted south, retaining the shared southern entrance. An emergency vehicle access (EVA) lane will be constructed along the east side to connect with through the commercial parcel to the south. The existing parking bay at the far north side of the lot will be retained.
826
Prelim. Arborist Report – Dublin Senior Living. Dublin, CA HortScience | Bartlett Consulting August 19, 2021 Page 6
The interior area of the site will be demolished and redeveloped, with selected trees to remain along all sides of the project, concentrated at the north and west sides of the property. Potential impacts to trees will be moderate to severe. Eighty-two (82) trees are proposed to be removed for construction, two of which are dead and none of them Heritage (Table 3).

Trees #354 – 365 along Arnold Road can be preserved as a group. Edge trees #350 – 351, 366 – 367, 369 – 370, 388, 408, 425, 440, 441 and 456 may experience serious impacts to their canopies and root zones. Protective fencing will need to be installed around each of these trees.

Based on my assessment of the proposed plan and evaluation of the trees, I recommend preservation of fifty-five (55) trees. Twenty (20) off-site trees, while slightly overhanging the site, are at some distance from construction. Thirty-five (35) trees are near the edges of construction and noted as “Potentially Preserve.” Five of these trees are located off-site, or possibly off-site, at the northeast edge of the property. Disposition and Protected status of individual trees are included in Table 3 (next page).

Successful retention of the trees to be preserved will require adherence to the Tree Preservation Guidelines (see page 13).

Preliminary Tree Preservation Guidelines
The goal of tree preservation is not merely tree survival during development but maintenance of tree health and beauty for many years. Trees retained on sites that are either subject to extensive injury during construction or are inadequately maintained become a liability rather than an asset. The response of individual trees will depend on the amount of excavation and grading, the care with which demolition is undertaken, and the construction methods. Coordinating any construction activity inside the TREE PROTECTION ZONE can minimize these impacts.

The following recommendations will help reduce impacts to trees from development and maintain and improve their health and vitality through the clearing, grading and construction phases. Specific recommendations for tree protection will be prepared when project plans are available.

Tree Protection Zone

1. A TREE PROTECTION ZONE shall be identified for each tree to be preserved on the Tree Protection Plan prepared by the project arborist. The TREE PROTECTION ZONE shall be the dripline of each tree. Trees #354 – 356 may be fenced collectively.
a. Tree protection fences shall be installed to encompass the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. b. Fence all trees to be retained to completely enclose the TREE PROTECTION ZONE prior to demolition, grubbing or grading. Fences shall be 6 ft. chain link with posts sunk into the ground or equivalent as approved by the City. Posts may be installed into concrete blocks on pavement where no soil is available.
c. Fences must be installed prior to beginning demolition and must remain until construction is complete.
d. No grading, excavation, construction or storage or dumping of materials shall occur within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE.
e. No underground services including utilities, sub-drains, water or sewer shall be placed in the TREE PROTECTION ZONE.
f. Fences shall posted with signs stating, “TREE PROTECTION FENCE – DO NOT MOVE OR REMOVE WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM CITY ARBORIST”.

Design recommendations

1. Plan for tree preservation by designing adequate space around trees to be preserved. This is the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. No grading, excavation, construction or storage of materials should occur within that zone. Route underground services including utilities, sub-drains, water or sewer around the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. For design purposes, the TREE PROTECTION ZONE is the site’s security fence at the property line.

2. Consider the vertical clearance requirements near trees during design. Avoid designs that would require pruning more than 20% of a tree’s canopy.

3. Irrigation systems must be designed so that no trenching severs roots larger than 2” in diameter within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE.

4. Tree Preservation Guidelines prepared by the Consulting Arborist, which include specifications for tree protection during demolition and construction, should be included on all plans.

5. Any herbicides placed under paving materials must be safe for use around trees and labeled for that use.
834
Prelim. Arborist Report – Dublin Senior Living. Dublin, CA HortScience | Bartlett Consulting August 19, 2021 Page 14

6. As trees withdraw water from the soil, expansive soils may shrink within the root area.

Therefore, foundations, footings and pavements on expansive soils near trees should be designed to withstand differential displacement.

7. Ensure adequate but not excessive water is supplied to trees; in most cases occasional irrigation will be required. Avoid directing runoff toward trees.

8. Make all efforts to ensure that roots no larger than 2” in diameter are not severed.

Pre-demolition and pre-construction treatments and recommendations

1. The demolition and construction superintendents shall meet with the Consulting Arborist before beginning work to review all work procedures, access routes, storage areas, and tree protection measures.

2. Prune trees to be preserved to clean the crown of dead branches 1” and larger in diameter, raise canopies as needed for construction activities.
a. All pruning shall be done by a State of California Licensed Tree Contractor (C61/D49). All pruning shall be done by Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker in accordance with the Best Management Practices for Pruning (International Society of Arboriculture, 2002) and adhere to the most recent editions of the American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (Z133.1) and Pruning (A300).
b. The Consulting Arborist will provide pruning specifications prior to site demolition. c. Branches extending into the work area that can remain following demolition shall be tied back and protected from damage.

3. All tree work shall comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as well as California Fish and Wildlife code 3503-3513 to not disturb nesting birds. To the extent feasible tree pruning and removal should be scheduled outside of the breeding season. Breeding bird surveys should be conducted prior to tree work. Qualified biologists should be involved in establishing work buffers for active nests.

Recommendations for tree protection during construction

1. Any approved grading, construction, demolition or other work within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE should be monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

2. All contractors shall conduct operations in a manner that will prevent damage to trees to be preserved.

3. Tree protection devices are to remain until all site work has been completed within the work area. Fences or other protection devices may not be relocated or removed without permission of the Consulting Arborist.

4. Construction trailers, traffic and storage areas must remain outside TREE PROTECTION ZONE at all times.

5. Any root pruning required for construction purposes shall receive the prior approval of and be supervised by the Consulting Arborist. Roots should be cut with a saw to provide a flat and smooth cut. Removal of roots larger than 2” in diameter should be avoided.

6. If roots 2” and greater in diameter are encountered during site work and must be cut to complete the construction, the Consulting Arborist must be consulted to evaluate effects on the health and stability of the tree and recommend treatment.

7. Trees to be removed shall be felled so as to fall away from TREE PROTECTION ZONE and avoid pulling and breaking of roots of trees to remain. If roots are entwined, the Consulting Arborist 835
Prelim. Arborist Report – Dublin Senior Living. Dublin, CA HortScience | Bartlett Consulting August 19, 2021 Page 15
may require first severing the major woody root mass before extracting the trees, or grinding the stump below ground.

8. Prior to grading or trenching, trees may require root pruning outside the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. Any root pruning required for construction purposes shall receive the prior approval of, and be supervised by, the Consulting Arborist.

9. Spoil from trench, footing, utility or other excavation shall not be placed within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE, neither temporarily nor permanently.

10. All grading within the dripline of trees shall be done using the smallest equipment possible.

The equipment shall operate perpendicular to the tree and operate from outside the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. Any modifications must be approved and monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

11. All trees shall be irrigated on a schedule to be determined by the Consulting Arborist (every 3 to 6 weeks is typical). Each irrigation shall wet the soil within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE to a depth of 30”.

12. If injury should occur to any tree during construction, it should be evaluated as soon as possible by the Consulting Arborist so that appropriate treatments can be applied.

13. No excess soil, chemicals, debris, equipment or other materials shall be dumped or stored within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE.

14. Any additional tree pruning needed for clearance during construction must be performed by a Certified Arborist and not by construction personnel.

15. Trees that accumulate a sufficient quantity of dust on their leaves, limbs and trunk as judged by the Consulting Arborist shall be spray-washed at the direction of the Project Arborist. 836

Maintenance of impacted trees
Preserved trees will experience a physical environment different from that pre-development. As a result, tree health and structural stability should be monitored. Occasional pruning, fertilization, mulch, pest management, replanting and irrigation may be required. In addition, provisions for monitoring both tree health and structural stability following construction must be made a priority.

Our inspections represent the condition of the tree at the time of inspection. As trees age, the likelihood of failure of branches or entire trees increases. Annual tree inspections are recommended to identify changes to tree health and structure. In addition, trees should be inspected after storms of unusual severity to evaluate damage and structural changes. Initiating these inspections is the responsibility of the client and/or tree owner.

Project Overview
The Dublin Senior Living Project (Project) site is located at 5751 Arnold Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN]: 986-14-13) and is an approximately 5.74-acre site in the City’s Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) area with commercial/office uses to the north, south and east, and residential uses to the west.

The Project proposes the construction and operation of a two-story, 155,517-square-foot (sf) licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) and would include the following components:
 One two-story structure, consisting of 155,517 sf
 152 units consisting of 114 assisted living units and 38 memory care units, with a total of up to 174 beds and 100,895 sf
 Common areas for the use and enjoyment of Project residents, including a commercial kitchen, dining areas, fitness room, golf simulator, pool, salon, spa, various activity rooms, a café and small convenience store, theater and games room, and exterior amenities, for a total of 26,328 sf of common space
 Circulation and utility spaces account for the remaining 28,295 sf  Outdoor open spaces, courtyards, and walkways, with landscaping and lighting  89 surface parking spaces for residents, employees, and visitors Prior CEQA Analysis
Prior California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis includes the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (1993) (1993 GPA/SP EIR). This environmental review document is described below.

Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan EIR (1993) The 1993 GPA/SP EIR and an addendum (1993) were certified by the City Council on August 22, 1994. This EIR analyzed General Plan Amendments affecting a 6,920-acre area and the adoption of the EDSP, which encompassed a 3,328-acre area and provides a comprehensive planning framework for future development in Eastern Dublin. The area considered in this EIR included the Project site.

City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Addendum | Page 2
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following significant and unavoidable impacts: cumulative loss of agriculture and open space land, cumulative traffic, extension of natural gas, electric, and telephone service community facilities, consumption of non-renewable natural resources, increases in energy uses through increased water treatment and disposal and through operation of the water distribution system, inducement of substantial growth and concentration of population, earthquake ground shaking, loss/degradation of botanically sensitive habitat, regional air quality, noise, and aesthetics.

Proposed CEQA Analysis in this Document
The City prepared a CEQA analysis for the proposed Project using the City’s Initial Study Checklist, dated April 28, 2022, incorporated herein by reference, to assess whether any further environmental review is required. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City determined that no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required for the proposed Project and an Addendum to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR is the appropriate CEQA review per the following:

No Subsequent Review is Required per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 identify the conditions that trigger the requirement of subsequent environmental review and documentation for a project. After a review of these conditions, the City determined that no subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is required for this Project. This is based on the following analysis:
a) Are there substantial changes to the project requiring major revisions to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR due to new or substantially more severe significant impacts than previously identified? There are no substantial changes to the Project as analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR. The Project proposes to construct and operate a two-story RCFE in lieu of a planned office building in an existing commercial/office park. As demonstrated in the Initial Study, the Project does not constitute a substantial change to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR analysis, will not result in additional significant impacts, and no additional or different mitigation measures are required.
b) Are there substantial changes in the conditions which the project is undertaken requiring major revisions to the 1993 GPA/SP EIR due to new or substantially more severe significant impacts than previously identified?
852
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Addendum | Page 3
There are no substantial changes in the conditions assumed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR. The Project proposes to construct and operate a two-story RCFE in lieu of a planned office building in an existing commercial/office park. This is documented in the attached Initial Study.
c) Is there new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known at the time of the previous EIR that shows the project will have a significant effect not addressed in the previous EIR; or previous effects are more severe; or, previously infeasible mitigation measures are now feasible but the applicant declined to adopt them; or mitigation measures considerably different from those in the previous EIR would substantially reduce significant effects but the applicant declines to adopt them? As documented in the attached Initial Study, there is no new information showing a new or more severe significant effect beyond those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Similarly, the Initial Study documents that no new or different mitigation measures are required for the Project. All previously adopted mitigations continue to apply to the Project. The 1993 GPA/SP EIR adequately describes the impacts and mitigations associated with the proposed development on portions of the EDSP area. d) If no subsequent EIR-level review is required, should a subsequent negative declaration be prepared?
No subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is required because there are no significant impacts of the Project beyond those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and no other standards for supplemental review under CEQA are met, as documented in the attached Initial Study.

Conclusion
This Addendum is prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 based on the attached Initial Study. Through the adoption of this Addendum and related Initial Study, the City determines that the proposed Project does not require a subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration under CEQA Section 21166 or CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163.

The City further determines that the 1993 GPA/SP EIR adequately addresses the potential environmental impacts of the Dublin Senior Living Project.

As provided in Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, this Addendum need not be circulated for public review, but shall be considered with the prior environmental document before making a decision on this Project.

The Initial Study and 1993 GPA/SP EIR are incorporated herein by reference and are available for public review during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., in the Community Development Department, Dublin City Hall, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin CA.

Project Background and Purpose
The Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (1993 GPA/SP EIR) and an addendum were certified by the City Council on August 22, 1994. This EIR analyzed General Plan Amendments affecting a 6,920-acre area and the adoption of the EDSP, which encompassed a 3,328-acre area and provides a comprehensive planning framework for future development in Eastern Dublin. The area considered in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR included the Project site. The Project purpose is provided below.

Project Description
Project Characteristics
The Project proposes the construction and operation of a two-story, 155,517-square-foot (sf) licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) and would include the following components, as seen in Figure 3: Project Site Plan:
 One two-story structure, consisting of 155,517 sf
 152 units consisting of 114 assisted living units and 38 memory care units, with a total of 863
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 5
up to 174 beds and 100,895 sf Common areas for the use and enjoyment of Project residents, including a commercial kitchen, dining areas, fitness room, golf simulator, pool, salon, spa, various activity rooms, a café and small convenience store, theater and games room, and exterior amenities, for a total of 26,328 sf of common space.  Circulation and utility spaces account for the remaining 28,295 sf  Outdoor open spaces, courtyards, and walkways, with landscaping and lighting  89 surface parking spaces for residents, employees, and visitors The Project would be designed in a contemporary style and would include cultured stone, painted metal, and engineered wood-looking veneer cladding, as shown in Figure 4: Building Exterior and Primary Entry, and the rendering provided in Figure 5: Building Rendering and Dropoff. To the top of the parapet, the building would be approximately 28 feet in height, as shown in Figure 6: Building Elevations.

Operational Characteristics
The Project would be operational 24 hours per day, seven days per week. It is estimated that approximately 80 full time and 40 part time jobs would be generated by the Project. Due to the nature of the full-time RCFE operation, employees would be required in various shifts, including approximately 42 employees from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., 27 employees from 2:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and 10 employees from 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.

Open Space and Landscaping
The Project proposes to include new landscaping, gardens, outdoor furniture, walkways, and other outdoor amenities, as shown in Figure 7: Landscaping and Outdoor Amenities. In addition to common open space, private open space would be provided consisting of balconies and patios. Exterior common space areas would include a memory care garden (6,187 sf), assisted living garden (11,457 sf), and landscape amenity areas around the building (66,897 sf) for a total of 84,541 sf of common open space. There would be a total of approximately 5,200 sf of private open space, consisting of first floor patios (2,050 sf) and second floor balconies (3,150 sf). Some exterior amenities would be secured for resident’s safety. New lighting and signage would be placed throughout the Project site and parking areas to provide security and needed illumination for safety. Within the Project site, 82 trees are proposed to be removed, two of which are dead and none of which are protected or heritage trees. The Project would preserve 43 trees during construction and operation, one of which is a heritage tree, and plant 107 new trees.

Site Access and Internal Circulation
As shown in Figure 3, primary site access would be from Arnold Road, which would include a 34-foot-wide main entry driveway leading to the building entrance. The interior drive aisle would be 24 feet wide. There would be a round-about at the front entrance for ease of traffic flow. An existing driveway providing access to the adjacent commercial/office park, located further to the south along Arnold Road, would be maintained. A main driveway flows around the Project site in an inverted “L” shape connecting the new site entrance to the existing surface parking areas.

Utilities and Public Services
Some of the existing utility services onsite would be utilized for the Project while others would be removed and replaced, as shown in Figure 8: Preliminary Utility Plan.

Water
The existing public water system would be improved. The Project would install a new 10-inch fire service line throughout the site, which would connect to a new six-inch line to connect with new fire hydrants. The new 10-inch fire service line would connect to an existing fire service main onsite. The existing irrigation and domestic water meters would be removed, and the Project would construct two-inch water meters onsite that would connect to the existing 16- inch water main located along the Project frontage on Arnold Road.

Wastewater
The Project would utilize the existing sewer lines onsite and would connect to the existing eight-inch sanitary sewer lateral onsite.

Stormwater
The existing storm drain system would be removed and replaced with a new drainage system, as shown in Figure 9: Preliminary Stormwater Quality Plan. The new storm drain system would include construction of storm drain lines onsite ranging from eight-inch to 18-inch and would connect to existing storm drain laterals onsite. Additionally, the Project would construct 7,836 sf of bio-retention treatment areas onsite.

Electricity and Gas
The Project would connect to and utilize the existing electric and gas facilities located in the vicinity of the Project site. Electricity and gas services in the City are provided by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).

Sustainability Features
As noted above, the Project would include 7,836 sf of bio-retention areas onsite to treat stormwater runoff. In addition, the Project would include the use of electric vehicle charging stations and would be designed to meet the requirements of the California Title 24 Energy Code as well as California Green Building Standards Code (CalGreen) measures.

Demolition and Construction
Construction of the Project is estimated to begin in July 2023 and would conclude in September 2025, lasting for approximately 26 months. See Table 1 Project Construction Schedule, below.

Construction materials would be stored onsite and worker access to the site would be through the existing site access drive entry at the northwest corner of Arnold Road near the future intersection with Horizon Parkway. Construction workers would be instructed to park onsite near the existing site access drive entry at the northwest corner of Arnold Road.

Notes: Based on CalEEMod defaults for 5.74-acre Project site with 152 congregate care (assisted living) units, 89 parking spaces, other asphalt surfaces (onsite access roads), and other non-asphalt surfaces (landscaping).

Assumes 5-day work week.

Construction of the Project would include the new senior living facility with related site improvements including landscaping, grading, utility installation, and related offsite improvements. The total area of disturbance would be 5.74 acres. As recommended in the soils report prepared for the Project, construction would require approximately 24 inches of import fill under the new building slab to create foundation support for the proposed structures. Depth of excavation required for the pavement section varies depending on the use and would range from 11 to 19 inches total depth. The storm drain system would require approximately eight feet of excavation. Construction is estimated to require 1,500 cubic yards of soil export and the Project would construct 162,345 sf of impervious surface and 83,387 sf of pervious surface onsite.

Offsite improvements would include, but not be limited to, the relocation of signal poles, the addition of dualized ramps, approximately 3,000 sf of driveway improvements, and 40 linear feet of curb and gutter replacement. Some road closures and establishment of alternate traffic and pedestrian routes may be required during construction activities. 873

Project Approvals
As the CEQA Lead Agency for the proposed Project, the City will consider the environmental impacts of the Project as part of the project approval process. The applicant has requested approval of a Planned Development Rezoning with a related Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan and a Site Development Review (SDR) Permit. These requested approvals must be acted upon by City Council at a public hearing following a recommendation made at a public hearing by the Planning Commission.

Other Project-related approvals, agreements, permits and subsequent ministerial actions would be required for Project implementation, which include, but may not be limited to, the following:
 Grading Permit
 Encroachment Permit
 Traffic Control Plan
Other Public Agencies Whose Approval Is Required
None.

Applicable General Plan and EDSP Land Use Designations
For reference, the Dublin General Plan defines the relevant land use designations as follows:

Campus Office (FAR: .25 to .80; Employee Density: 260 square feet per employee) This designation is intended to provide an attractive, campus-like setting for office and other non-retail commercial uses that do not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or glare. Allowed uses include, but are not limited to, the following: professional and administrative offices; administrative headquarters; research and development; business and commercial services; and, limited light manufacturing, assembly and distribution activities. Ancillary uses which provide services to businesses and employees in the Campus Office area are permitted. These uses include restaurants, gas stations, convenience shopping, copying services, branch banks, and other such services. Under special circumstances (e.g., where a mixed-use development would decrease potential peak-hour traffic generation, meet a specific housing need, encourage pedestrian access to employment and shopping, or create an attractive, socially-interactive neighborhood environment), residential uses may be permitted as part of a master planned mixed use development. In such developments, the residential component would not be permitted to occupy more than 50% of the developed area.

For reference, the EDSP defines the relevant land use designations as follows:

Campus Office (.25 to .80 Floor Area Ratio)
Provides an attractive, campus-like setting or office and other non-retail commercial uses that do not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or outdoor storage and operations. Ancillary uses which provide support services to businesses and employees are permitted. Under special circumstances (e.g., where a mixed-use development would decrease potential traffic generation and/or contribute to greater social interaction and more vital live/work environment), residential uses may be permitted as part of a master planned mixed use development. In such developments, the residential component would not be permitted to occupy more than 50% of the developed area. A floor area ratio of up to

1.2 may be granted at the discretion of the City Council for the 37-acre parcel adjacent to the eastern Dublin BART station in the southwest quadrant of Hacienda Drive and Dublin Boulevard. A 5-acre hotel site is anticipated within this 37-acre parcel. The precise location of the hotel site will be established through the planned development application process.

Note: There are several areas indicated on the land use map that could develop as either general commercial or campus office uses. This flexibility has been provided in these key areas to respond to changing market conditions that may occur in the future. The shift from campus office (the underlying land use designation) to general commercial would only be permitted if the established traffic levels of service are not exceeded. Appropriate traffic studies may need to be conducted in order for the City to make the proper determination regarding traffic levels of service.

CEQA Analysis
The discussion below analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project per the criteria as described in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. For convenience, this analysis uses Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines as a framework.

Different from the standard CEQA checklist included in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines are the impact options included in this analysis.

Prior CEQA analysis includes the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan EIR.

This environmental review document is referred to as the “1993 GPA/SP EIR” or “previous CEQA findings.”
The impact check-boxes indicate that the Project would not result in a new impact, a substantial increase in the severity of an impact, or an equal to or less severe impact, than those identified in previous CEQA findings.

As such, no new environmental review is required because none of the standards under Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are met which would trigger the need for additional CEQA documentation. There are no significant Project changes, new information, or change in circumstances that result in a new or substantial increase in severity of a significant impact from those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR. Therefore, no standards for requiring supplemental environmental review or documentation under CEQA are met and none are required for the Project.
876
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 18
Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the project MAY have a potentially significant or a potentially significant unless mitigated impact on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the project, nothing further is required.

Previous CEQA Document
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following impacts and mitigations for visual resources:
 Impact 3.8/A: Standardized "Tract" Development within the project area which did not respond to natural site conditions could cause a significant impact. Adherence to Mitigation Measure 3.8/1.0, which requires consistency with EDSP Goal 6.3.4, reduces this impact to an insignificant level.
 Impact 3.8/B: Alteration of Rural/Open Space Visual Character was identified as a significant and unavoidable impact even with adherence to Mitigation Measure 3.8/2.0, which would implement the EDSP with retention of predominant natural features and encourages a sense of place in Eastern Dublin.
 Impact 3.8/C: Obscuring Distinctive Natural Features identifies the potential of EDSP buildings and related improvements to obscure or alter existing features and reduce the visual uniqueness of the Eastern Dublin area. Implementation of Mitigation Measure

3.8/3.0, which would implement EDSP Policy 6-28, reduces this impact to an insignificant level.
 Impact 3.8/D: Alteration of Visual Quality of Hillsides notes that grading and excavation of building sites in hillside areas would compromise the visual quality of the EDSP area.

Mitigation Measures 3.8/4.0 through 3.8/4.5 are included in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR to reduce Impact 3.8/D to an insignificant level. These mitigation measures require implementation of EDSP Policies 6-32 through 6-38.
 Impact 3.8/E: Alteration of Visual Quality of Ridges states that structures built in 878
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 20
proximity to ridges may obscure or fragment the profile of visually sensitive ridgelines.

Implementation of Mitigation Measures 3.8/5.0 through 3.8/5.2 would reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. These measures require the implementation of EDSP Policies 6-29 and 5-30 and General Plan Amendment Guiding Policy E.  Impact 3.8/F: Alteration of Visual Character of Flatlands is identified as a significant and unavoidable impact. No mitigation measure has been identified which can either fully or partially reduce this impact.
 Impact 3.8/G: Alteration of the Visual Character of Watercourses which involves the potential for elimination of the visibility and function of watercourses would be mitigated to an insignificant level by adherence to Mitigation Measure 3.8/6.0, which required future development to implement EDSP Policy 6-39.  Impact 3.8/H: Alteration of Dublin's Visual Identity as a Freestanding City is mitigated to a level of insignificance by implementation of the EDSP land use plan (Mitigation Measure 3.8/5.0).
 Impact 3.8/I: Scenic Vistas includes the alteration of the character of existing scenic vistas and important sightlines. With implementation of Mitigation Measures 3.8/7.0 and 3.8/7.1 this impact would be reduced to an insignificant level. Mitigation Measure

3.8/7.0 requires adherence to EDSP Policy 6-5 and Mitigation Measure 3.8/7.1 requires the City to conduct a visual survey of the EDSP site and to identify and map viewsheds of scenic vistas.
 Impact 3.8/J: Scenic Routes identifies that the urban development of the EDSP will significantly alter the visual experience of travelers on scenic routes in Eastern Dublin.

Implementation of Mitigation Measures 3.8/8.0 and 8.1 will reduce this impact to an insignificant level. These two measures require implementation of EDSP Action Programs 6Q and 6R.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found significant and unavoidable aesthetic impacts (Impact 3.8/B and Impact 3.8/F) associated with the alteration of the visual character of rural/open space and flatlands. The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for these impacts, which includes the Project.

The proposed Project would be required to adhere to applicable mitigation measures as set forth in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
(a) Scenic vistas, views
The majority of the Project site is paved and surrounded by existing surface parking areas.

Additionally, the site includes landscape areas consisting of ornamental and non-native trees, shrubs, and bushes. The Project site is classified by the 1993 GPA/SP EIR as “developed.” The 879
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 21
EDSP does identify certain ridgelands and ridgelines as visually sensitive and the City pursuant to Specific Plan Policy 6-5 and Action Program 6Q adopted the Eastern Dublin Scenic Corridor, Policies and Standards as means to preserve scenic vistas.

Previous CEQA findings found potentially significant impacts to scenic vistas and views. The impacts were addressed with implementation of Mitigation Measures 3.8/3.0, 3.8/4.0 through

4.5, 3.8/5.0 through 5.2, 3.8/6.0, 3.8/7.0 and 3.8/7.1.

Due to the developed nature of the Project site and surrounding areas, views of scenic resources from the site are extremely limited and screened due to existing intervening development in the area. The Project would construct a senior living facility at a Project site that is surrounded by existing development. The proposed buildings would be two-stories tall and would not have a height that exceeds the surrounding buildings. Since there are no scenic vistas or views to preserve at the Project site, the 1993 GPA/SP EIR mitigation measures identified to reduce potentially significant impacts to scenic vistas and views would not be applicable to the Project. Therefore, the Project would not have a substantial effect on a scenic vista and impacts would be less than significant. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met.
(b) Scenic resources
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found potentially significant impacts to scenic resources within a scenic route. The impacts were addressed with implementation of Mitigation Measures 3.8/8.0 and

3.8/8.1.

A section of I-680 located approximately two miles west of the Project site is a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) officially designated state scenic highway, and I-580, located approximately 0.6 mile south of the Project site, is listed as eligible on the Caltrans State Scenic Highway System Map but is not an officially designated state scenic highway (Caltrans 2018). According to the City’s General Plan, I-680, I-580, Tassajara Road (located approximately 1.1 mile east of the Project site), Dougherty Road (located approximately one mile west of the Project site), and San Ramon Road (located approximately 2.5 miles west of the Project site), are designated as scenic routes by Alameda County. There are no scenic resources located within the Project site, and no state scenic highways run through or directly adjacent to the Project site. Therefore, buildout of the Project would not substantially damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, and there would be no impact. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met. (c) Substantially degrade the visual character of the site or surrounding area The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found that development within the EDSP area would alter the existing visual character of rural/open space and flatlands. No mitigation measure could be identified to reduce these impacts, fully or partially, to a less than significant level. The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Consideration for these impacts; thus, no additional analysis was found necessary.

(d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR did not analyze impacts of light and glare; however, these impacts are not new information that was not known or could not have been known at the time the 1993 GPA/SP EIR was certified. The issue of potential impacts related to the effects of new sources of lighting and glare was widely known prior to the certification of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Therefore, the potential impacts related to light and glare were known at the time of the certification of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR. Under CEQA standards, it is not new information that requires analysis in a supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration. No supplemental environmental analysis of the Project's impacts on this issue is required under CEQA.

Conclusion
The Project does not propose changes that were not previously analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR that would require major changes to the EIR. Based on the information in 1993 GPA/SP EIR and this environmental analysis, the Project would not substantially increase the severity of the previously identified aesthetic/visual impacts, nor result in new significant impacts.

With adherence to applicable regulatory requirements and mitigation measures identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, there would not be any new or substantially more severe significant impacts to aesthetic resources beyond what has been analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no other CEQA standards for supplemental review are met. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

Previous CEQA Document
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following impacts and mitigations for agricultural resources:
 Impact 3.1/C Discontinuation of Agricultural Uses states that agricultural uses within the area would be decreased as a result of the implementation of the EDSP. However, since most landowners at the time the 1993 GPA/SP EIR was written had filed non-renewal notices for their Williamson Act contracts it was assumed that agricultural uses would decline independent of the implementation of the EDSP, so the impact was insignificant, and no mitigation was required.
 Impact 3.1/D Loss of Farmland of Local Importance states that agricultural lands of local importance would be lost as a result of the EDSP. Since these agricultural lands of local importance were not classified as prime farmland; however, the impact was insignificant, and no mitigation was required.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR evaluated if the soils were considered as “prime agricultural soils” through the adopted criteria established by the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act (Government Code Section 56064, referred to as Assembly Bill [AB] 2838). It was determined that no additional prime or agricultural lands beyond those identified in 1993 GPA/SP EIR were found.
882
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 24
Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
(a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (farmland)
Previous CEQA findings found there were no significant impacts with respect to agricultural resources. The Project site is located in a developed area and is not used for agricultural production. The site is not designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Important on the California Department of Conservation’s (DOC) California Important Farmland Finder. The DOC designates the Project site and surrounding lands as Urban and BuiltUp Land (DOC 2016). Therefore, the Project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural uses and there would be no impact. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met.
(b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a William Act contract Previous CEQA findings found there were no significant impacts with respect to agricultural resources. The Project site is zoned Planned Development and is not designated for agricultural uses. As stated in the City’s General Plan, all properties within the Eastern Extended Planning Area previously under Williamson Act contracts have expired (City of Dublin 2018). Therefore, the Project would not conflict with existing zoning or a Williamson Act contract and there would be no impact. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met.
(c) Conflict with zoning for forest land or timberland
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR did not analyze impacts to forestry resources. The Project site is not currently developed and neither the Project site nor the surrounding area is zoned for forest land, timberland, or timberland production. Therefore, the Project would not result in a conflict with zoning for forest land or timberland and there would be no impact. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met. (d) Result in loss of forest land or conversion of forest The 1993 GPA/SP EIR did not analyze impacts to forestry resources. The Project site is located in an urbanized area of the City, and no forest land exists on the Project site or surrounding areas.

Therefore, the Project would not result in the loss of forest land or the conversion of forest land to non-forest uses and there would be no impact. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met.
883
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 25
(e) Conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use
As stated previously, the Project site is located in an urbanized area and is developed with graded surfaces that provide surface parking for the adjacent developments. The Project site and surrounding areas is not used as Farmland or for forestry uses and is not zoned for those uses. Therefore, the Project would not result in the conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural uses or forest land to non-forest uses and there would be no impact. The Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR and the criteria for requiring further CEQA review are not met.

Conclusion
The Project does not propose changes that were not previously analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR that would require major changes to the EIR. Based on the information in 1993 GPA/SP EIR and this environmental analysis, the Project would not substantially increase the severity of the previously identified agricultural impacts, nor result in new significant impacts.

With adherence to applicable regulatory requirements, there would not be any new or substantially more severe significant impacts to agricultural resources beyond what has been analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no other CEQA standards for supplemental review are met. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

Previous CEQA Document
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following impacts and mitigation measures for air quality:
884
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 26
 Impact 3.11/A: Dust Deposition from Construction Activity states that project construction will generate respirable particulate matter that could potentially impact nearby areas significantly. Mitigation Measure 3.11/1.0 mitigates this impact to an insignificant level, but dust emissions remain a potentially significant cumulative impact.  Impact 3.11/B: Construction Equipment/Vehicle Emissions acknowledges that operating construction equipment will generate exhaust pollutants. Since the build out of the EDSP is long-term the impact of these emissions is potentially significant. Mitigation Measures 3.11/2.0 through 3.11/4.0 do not sufficiently reduce the anticipated ozone precursor emission to within Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) standards so air quality impacts remain potentially significant and contribute to a potentially significant cumulative impact.
 Impact 3.11/C: Mobile Source Emissions reactive organic gases (ROG) or oxides of nitrogen (NOx) states that as a result of vehicle trips generated by the full build out of the EDSP ROG and NOx emissions will exceed the BAAQMD threshold causing a significant impact. Mitigation Measures 3.11/5.0 through 3.11/11.0 reduce this impact but not sufficiently to reduce it to an insignificant level.  Impact 3.11/D: Mobile Source Emissions CO2 notes that the EDSP will not cause any new CO2 emission standard violations and, therefore, has an insignificant impact.  Impact 3.11/E: Stationary Source Emissions notes that project related NOx emissions from fuel consumption for energy demand exceeds BAAQMD’s significance threshold causing a significant impact. Mitigation Measures 3.11/12.0 and 3.11/13.0 reduce this impact but not sufficiently to reduce it an insignificant level. This impact also contributes to a potentially significant cumulative impact for the area.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR determined that future project development will have a potentially significant cumulative impact on air quality as a result of dust deposition, construction equipment emissions, mobile source emissions of ROG and NOx, and stationary source emissions. While some measures have been adopted to partially mitigate these impacts, the impacts remain potentially significant, particularly given the region's existing non-compliance with air quality standards. The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for these four impacts, which includes the Project.

The proposed Project would be required to adhere to applicable mitigation measures as set forth in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
(a) Consistent with air quality plans
BAAQMD’s 2017 Clean Air Plan is the regional air quality plan (AQP) for the Air Basin. It identifies strategies to bring regional emissions into compliance with federal and State air 885
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 27
quality standards. The 2017 Plan incorporates new data and projections and updates the 2010 Clean Air Plan control strategy.

The proposed Project would not conflict with the Clean Air Plan adopted by BAAQMD since the Project site has been included in Dublin's planned growth as previously analyzed and is consistent with the City’s General Plan, which is the basis of the Clean Air Plan. The proposed Project would result in less than significant impacts, and therefore, the proposed Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts compared to those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.
(b) Violate air quality standards or cause cumulatively considerable air pollutants In developing thresholds of significance for air pollutants, BAAQMD considered the emission levels for which a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. If a project exceeds the identified significance thresholds, its emissions would be cumulatively considerable, resulting in significant adverse air quality impacts to the region’s existing air quality conditions. BAAQMD has continued to refine its thresholds of significance with the most recent thresholds being updated in 2017. The updated thresholds of significance do not constitute new information in light of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3) because the information used to develop the thresholds was known at the time of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR certification.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found several air quality impacts related to construction exhaust and fugitive dust emissions to be significant and unavoidable despite the implementation of mitigation measures. The 1993 GPA SP EIR also found operational mobile source and stationary source emissions to be significant and unavoidable because those emissions would exceed BAAQMD thresholds of significance despite implementation of mitigation measures. The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations that addressed the significant and unavoidable air quality impacts.

Project construction and operational impacts are assessed separately below, in light of the previous disclosure of significant air quality impacts from the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Construction Emissions
Construction activities associated with development of the proposed Project would include site preparation, grading, building construction, paving and architectural coatings. Emissions from construction-related activities are generally short-term in duration but may still cause adverse air quality impacts. During construction, fugitive dust would be generated from earth-moving activities. Exhaust emissions would also be generated from off-road construction equipment and construction-related vehicle trips. Emissions associated with construction of the proposed Project are discussed below.
886
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 28
Construction Fugitive Dust (PM10 and PM2.5)
During construction (grading), fugitive dust (PM10) would be generated from site grading and other earth-moving activities. Most of this fugitive dust will remain localized and will be deposited near the Project site.

BAAQMD does not have a quantitative threshold for fugitive dust. BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommend that projects determine the significance for fugitive dust through application of best management practices (BMPs). The 1993 GPA/SP EIR evaluated fugitive dust impacts in Impact 3.11/A and concluded the dust deposition was a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measure 3.11/1.0 incorporates BAAQMD’s BMPs for fugitive dust and reduced individual project-level impacts to a less than significant level, but cumulatively the 1993 GPA/SPE EIR found fugitive dust impacts to remain significant and unavoidable. The proposed Project would implement Mitigation Measure 3.11/1.0 to reduce project-level fugitive dust impacts to a less than significant level. The proposed Project does not include any unique characteristics that would generate more fugitive dust than the 1993 GPA/SP EIR considered and thus, with adherence to Mitigation Measure 3.11/1.0, the proposed Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts compared to those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Construction Emissions: ROG, NOX, PM10 (exhaust), PM2.5 (exhaust) The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found that construction emissions would be significant. Table 2 provides the construction emissions estimate for the proposed Project. Please refer to Appendix A for details regarding assumptions used to estimate construction emissions. The duration of construction activity and associated equipment represent a reasonable approximation of the expected construction fleet as required pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines. The construction emissions in each year are well below the recommended thresholds of significance. The Project would incorporate Mitigation Measures 3.11/1.0 to reduce fugitive dust impacts and Mitigation Measures 3.11/2.0 through 3.11/4.0 to reduce ozone precursors from construction equipment exhaust.

Operational Emissions
Operational pollutants of concern include ROG, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5. The buildout of the Project is anticipated to occur in 2025, immediately following the completion of construction.

Emissions were assessed for full buildout operations in the 2026 operational year, the first full year of operations as summarized in Table 3 and Table 4. BAAQMD Criteria Air Pollutant Significance thresholds were used to determine impacts.

On a cumulative basis, the Project would not worsen previously disclosed operational air quality impacts. The primary source of emissions during operations are mobile sources and as discussed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, mobile sources were found to be a significant impact on a project-level and a cumulative-level. As discussed in the Transportation section of this document, the Project would result in a lower trip generation than the previously contemplated land use for the Project site. Stationary source emissions were also determined by the 1993 GPA/SP EIR to be significant on a project-level and cumulative-level. The regulatory environment has become increasingly stringent about stationary source emissions, as such any future stationary sources would be subject to enhanced emissions control, such that future stationary emissions within the EDSP would be reduced compared to what was previously contemplated. Accordingly, the proposed Project would not result in any new or more severe Project or cumulative impacts compared to those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.
(c) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutant concentrations This discussion addresses whether the proposed Project would expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The 1993 GPA/SP EIR evaluated the potential to expose offsite receptors to substantial fugitive dust concentrations. The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found that the potential project-level impacts from fugitive dust could be reduced with implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.11/1.0, but that on a cumulative level the impact would remain 889
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 31
significant and unavoidable. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City in recognition of this impact. As discussed above, the proposed Project would implement Mitigation Measure 3.11/1.0 and reduce the project-level fugitive dust impact to a less than significant level and would not worsen the cumulative impact from what was previously evaluated and disclosed.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR did not evaluate the potential of the EDSP to expose sensitive receptors to toxic air pollutant concentrations. However, this impact is not new information of substantial importance that was not known or could not have been known at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete (Public Resources Code Section 21166 and the CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163). Scientists started investigating the link between air pollution and health.

States began passing legislation to reduce air pollution. And in 1970, a milestone year, Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments which led to the establishment of the nation's air quality standards. Under CEQA standards, it is not new information that requires analysis in a supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration. Therefore, no supplemental environmental analysis of the Project’s impacts on this issue is required under CEQA. (d) Create objectionable odors
Land uses that are typically identified as sources of objectionable odors include landfills, transfer stations, sewage treatment plants, wastewater pump stations, composting facilities, feed lots, coffee roasters, asphalt batch plants, and rendering plants. The proposed Project would not engage in any of these activities. Therefore, the proposed Project would not be considered a generator of objectionable odors during operations.

During construction, the various diesel‐powered vehicles and equipment in use onsite would create localized odors. These odors would be temporary and would not likely be noticeable for extended periods of time beyond the Project’s site boundaries. The potential for diesel odor impacts would, therefore, be less than significant.

Project as a Receptor – Operation
With the California Building Industry Association v. BAAQMD ruling, analysis of odor impacts on receivers is not required for CEQA compliance. Therefore, the following analysis is provided for information only.

As a RCFE, the proposed Project has the potential to place sensitive receptors near existing odor sources. There are no major odor‐generating sources (as listed in Table 3-3 in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines) within screening distance of the site. Therefore, the uses in the vicinity of the Project site would not result in substantial odor impacts to the proposed Project.

Impacts would be less than significant.

Conclusion
The Project does not propose substantial changes that were not previously analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR that would require major changes to the EIR. Based on the information in 1993 GPA/SP EIR and this environmental analysis, the Project would not substantially increase 890
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 32
the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts, nor result in new significant impacts.

There would not be any new or substantially more severe significant impacts to air quality resources beyond what has been analyzed in the previous 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no other CEQA standards for supplemental review are met. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

Previous CEQA Document
The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following impacts and mitigation measures for biological resources:
 Impact 3.7/A: Direct Habitat Loss found that the implementation of the EDSP would result in substantial reduction of habitat and range, a potentially significant impact.

Mitigation Measures 3.7/1.0 through 3.7/4.0 reduce this impact to an insignificant level though the project does still contribute to a potentially significant cumulative impact and does result in a significant irreversible change.
 Impact 3.7/B: Indirect Impacts of Vegetation Removal recognizes that dust generation from construction, increased erosion, sedimentation, and potential for slope failure, and alteration of drainage patterns could cause a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measures 3.7/5.0, 3.6/ 18.0, 3.6/22.0, 3.6/23.0, and 3.11/8 reduce this impact to an insignificant level.
 Impact 3.7/C: Loss or Degradation of Botanically Sensitive Habitat recognizes that habitat could be lost directly or indirectly as a result of the implementation of the EDSP resulting in potentially significant impacts. Mitigation Measures 3.7/6.0 through

3.7/17.0 reduce this impact to a level of insignificance.  Impacts 3.7/D and 3.7/E pertain to threatened and endangered species. Mitigation Measures 3.7/18.0 and 3.7/19.0 reduce these impacts to an insignificant level.  Impacts 3.7/F through 3.7/I pertain to species who are federal candidates for listing as endangered or threatened. Mitigation Measures 3.7/20.0 through 3.7/22.0 reduce these impacts to an insignificant level.
 Impacts 3.7/J through 3.7/R pertain to California species of special concern. Mitigation Measures 3.7/23.0 through 3.7/28.0, 3.4/42.0, 3.7/6.0 through 3.7/17, and 3.7/21.0 reduce all impacts to less than significant.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR found a significant and unavoidable cumulative impact (Impact 3.7/A) associated with direct habitat loss. The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for this impact, which includes the Project.

The Project would be required to adhere to applicable mitigation measures as set forth in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
(a) Substantial adverse effect on candidate, sensitive, or special status species The 1993 GPA/SP EIR included a comprehensive assessment of habitat and wildlife resources (i.e., riparian habitat, natural community, and wetlands). Potential impacts related to the general effect of development in Eastern Dublin, including direct habitat loss, indirect habitat 892
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 34
loss due to vegetation removal for construction and development activities, and loss or degradation of sensitive habitat were evaluated. Mitigation measures adopted upon approval of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR continue to apply to the proposed Project. No changes have occurred to the planned use of the Project site since certification of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Even with mitigation, the City concluded that the cumulative loss or degradation of botanically sensitive habitat was significant and unavoidable (Impact 3.7/A). The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for this significant and unavoidable impact (Resolution No. 53-93).

The Project site is fully developed and surrounded by a developed commercial/office campus.

Due to the lack of suitable habitat, the presence of candidate, sensitive or special status species are not anticipated. Therefore, mitigation measures identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR related to candidate, sensitive or special status species would not be required for the proposed Project.

Ornamental trees and one heritage tree currently exist within the parking areas surrounding the Project site, and 82 trees are proposed to be removed, two of which are dead and none of which are protected or heritage trees. The Project would preserve 43 trees during construction and operation and plant 107 new trees, thereby providing more roosting/nesting opportunities in the future. Project activities would be undertaken in compliance will all regulatory requirements and permits related to tree removal and replacement/replanting. Additionally, the proposed Project would be required to implement Mitigation Measure 3.7/1.0 identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR related to tree removal. Therefore, Project related impacts related to candidate, sensitive or special status species would be equal or less severe than those evaluated in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.
(b, c) Substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat, natural community, or wetlands As discussed above, the Project site is fully developed and does not contain any riparian habitat areas, natural communities, or wetlands. Any potential impacts have already been mitigated. As such, Project-related impacts would be equal or less severe than those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no further mitigation would be required to reduce potential impacts. (d) Interfere or impede the movement of migratory fish or wildlife The Project site is fully developed, with ornamental trees interspersed throughout the surrounding paved surface parking lots and is not considered suitable habitat for migratory species. While the removal of 82 ornamental trees may temporarily impede the movement of migratory birds, 43 trees would be preserved and 107 new trees would be planted, thereby affording more use opportunities in the future for migratory birds. There are no creeks or streams on the Project site that would allow for migration of fish species. Any potential impacts have already been mitigated. As such, Project-related impacts would be equal or less severe than those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no further mitigation would be required to reduce potential impacts.

(e) Conflict with local policies or ordinance include tree preservation or any adopted habitat conservation or natural community conservation plans.

The Preliminary Arborist Report prepared by HortScience/Bartlett Consulting, in August 2021, identified that there is one tree existing onsite that would qualify as a heritage tree under the City’s heritage Tree Ordinance. The heritage tree onsite is not planned for removal and would remain onsite. All other trees on the Project site are ornamental and interspersed within a paved parking lot. The proposed Project would be required to implement Mitigation Measure

3.7/1.0 identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR related to the protection of existing trees during site preparation activities associated with construction of the Project. As the heritage tree protected under local ordinance is not planned for removal and would remain, there would be no Project-related impacts. Project implementation would be equal or less severe than those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no further mitigation would be required to reduce potential impacts.

Conclusion
The Project does not propose substantial changes that were not previously analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR that would require major changes to the EIR. Based on the information in 1993 GPA/SP EIR and this environmental analysis, the Project would not substantially increase the severity of the previously identified biological resources impacts, nor result in new significant impacts.

With adherence to applicable regulatory requirements and mitigation measures identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, there would not be any new or substantially more severe significant impacts to biological resources beyond what has been analyzed in the previous 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no other CEQA standards for supplemental review are met. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following impacts and mitigation measures for cultural resources:
 Impact 3.9/A: Disruption or Destruction of Identified Prehistoric Resources recognized impacts associated with the disruption or destruction of identified prehistoric resources which would be reduced to an insignificant level by adherence to Mitigation Measures

3.9/1.0 through 4.0, which require a program of mechanical or hand subsurface testing for midden deposits, recordation of identified cultural resources on State of California site survey forms, preparing a plan testing of each resource and, if required, having the City retain the services of a qualified archeologist to develop a cultural resource protection program.
 Impact 3.9/B: Disruption or Destruction of Unidentified Pre-Historic Resources identified an impact related to the disruption or destruction of unidentified pre-historic resources.

Mitigation Measures 3.9/5.0 and 6.0 would reduce this impact to an insignificant level by requiring a halt to development activities that could impact unidentified cultural resources and completion of follow-on site surveys within Eastern Dublin.  Impact 3.9/C: Disruption or Destruction of Identified Historic Resources would be mitigated to an insignificant level by adherence to Mitigation Measures 3.9/7.0 through

3.9/12.0 that requires in-depth analysis of properties with cultural resources, encouragement of adaptive reuse of historic structures to the extent feasible, review of potential historic resources by an architectural historian and development of a preservation program for historic sites and disruption or destruction of unidentified historic resources.
 Impact 3.9/D: Disruption or Destruction of Unidentified Historic Resources would be reduced to an insignificant level by adherence to Mitigation Measures 3.9/5.0, 6.0, 7.0,

9.0, 10.0, and 12.0.

The Project would be required to adhere to applicable mitigation measures as set forth in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
(a) Historic resources
The Project site is a vacant lot situated in an existing commercial/office campus, and there are no historic resources on or in the vicinity of the Project site that could be affected by Project implementation. As such, there would be no impact.
(b) Archaeological resources
Project construction activities would include minimal ground-disturbing activities related to trenching for utility connections. The 1993 GPA/SP EIR included Mitigation Measures 3.9/5.0 895
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 37
and 6.0, which would identify protocols related to discovery of unknown historic or prehistoric resources. Implementation of 1993 GPA/SP EIR mitigation measures would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. As such, Project-related impacts would be equal or less severe than those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no further mitigation would be required to reduce potential impacts.
(c) Human remains
As stated above, Project construction would include minimal ground-disturbing activities related to trenching for utility connections. In the unlikely event that previously unknown human remains are discovered, 1993 GPA/SP EIR Mitigation Measures 3.9/5.0 and 6.0 would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. Furthermore, adherence to local regulations regarding the discovery of human remains would be adhered to. Implementation of 1993 GPA/SP EIR mitigation measures would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. As such, Project-related impacts would be equal or less severe than those identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no further mitigation would be required to reduce potential impacts.

Conclusion
The Project does not propose substantial changes that were not previously analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR that would require major changes to the EIR. Based on the information in 1993 GPA/SP EIR and this environmental analysis, the Project would not substantially increase the severity of the previously identified cultural resources impacts, nor result in new significant impacts.

With adherence to applicable regulatory requirements and mitigation measures identified in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, there would not be any new or substantially more severe significant impacts to cultural resources beyond what has been analyzed in the previous 1993 GPA/SP EIR, and no other CEQA standards for supplemental review are met. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR did not specifically analyze impacts to energy as it was not a separate topic for analysis when the EIR was completed. However, the 1993 GPA/SP EIR evaluated energy use in Section 5.5 of the 1993 GPA/SP EIR under the section Significant Irreversible Changes and under Section 3.4, Community Services and Facilities, and Section 3.11, Air Quality, under Stationary Sources.

The 1993 GPA/SP EIR identified the following impacts and mitigation measures for energy use:
 Impact 3.4/Q: Demand for Utilities Extensions notes that the build out of the GP/EDSP will significantly increase demand for gas, electric and telephone services. To supply adequate electrical service to the project, PG&E estimates that a new distribution system will have to be constructed. Extension of utility lines are necessary if the GP/EDSP is approved and built. There is no mitigation to this impact, and it remained a significant and unavoidable impact.
 Impact 3.4/S: Consumption of Non-Renewable Natural Resources noted that the provision of adequate natural gas and electrical service will require the consumption of non-renewable natural resources. This impact is considered significant and unavoidable.

Mitigation Measures 3.4/45.0 and 3.4/46.0 would reduce the impact to the extent feasible.

The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the significant and unavoidable impacts of the Eastern Dublin GPA/SP, which includes the Project.

The Project would be required to adhere to applicable mitigation measures as set forth in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR.

Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
(a) Consumption of energy
The energy requirements for the proposed Project were determined using the construction and operational estimates generated from the Air Quality Analysis (refer to Appendix A). The calculation worksheets for diesel fuel consumption rates for off-road construction equipment and on-road vehicles are provided in Appendix A. Short-term construction and long-term operational energy consumption are discussed separately below.

Construction
As noted above, energy use was not specifically analyzed in the 1993 GPA/SP EIR, but operational energy use was addressed in Section 5.5, Section 3.4, and Section 3.11; construction energy was not addressed. However, construction energy impacts are not new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known at the time the 1993 GPA/SP EIR was certified as complete (Public Resources Code Section 21166 897
City of Dublin Dublin Senior Living Project
CEQA Initial Study | Page 39
and the CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163). Consideration of energy efficiency as we know it began in the 1970s and 1980s and was called “conservation.” Under CEQA standards, it is not new information that requires analysis in a supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration. As such, the following information is presented for informational purposes only.
