These changes align with the City Council’s adopted Economic Development Strategy and follow the transition to a new business license software platform administered by HdL Companies.
Following a comparative review of other jurisdictions and input from HdL, the ordinance amendments aim to:

Transition to an anniversary-based renewal cycle.
Maintain full annual fees regardless of registration date. Implement a simplified, flat penalty structure.

Additional revisions proposed by Staff include updated definitions, expanded enforcement provisions, and clearer processes for revocation and amendments.

If adopted, Staff will implement the changes in coordination with HdL, update related procedures and materials, and notify impacted businesses to ensure a smooth transition.

A. The City occasionally initiates amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code to clarify, add, or amend certain provisions to ensure that it remains current with federal and state law, internally consistent, simple to understand and implement, and relevant to changes occurring in the community.
B. Staff has initiated amendments to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), Chapter 8.36 (Development Regulations), Chapter
8.38 (Reasonable Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities), Chapter 8.64 (Home Occupations Regulations), Chapter 8.68 (Inclusionary Zoning Regulations), Chapter 8.76 (Off - Street Parking and Loading Regulations), Chapter 8.81 (SB 9 Unit Developments), Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review), Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance) and Chapter 8.132 (Notice and Hearings). In add ition, the proposed amendments include a new chapter, Chapter 8.49 (Low - Barrier Navigation Centers). The proposed amendments (the “Project”) would implement recent changes in state law and certain programs contained in the General Plan Housing Element.
C. The Project would implement Assembly Bill (AB) 626, Senate Bill (SB) 450, AB 2085 and AB 2904.
In addition, the Project would implement General Plan Housing Element Programs B.4:
Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, E.3: Reasonable Accommodations, E.4: Low-Barrier Navigation Centers, and E.6: Farmworker and Employee Housing.
D. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 27, 2025, during which all interested persons were heard, and adopted Resolution No. 25-02 recommending that the City Council approve the Project.
E. A Staff Report was submitted to the Dublin City Council recommending approval of the Project.
F. The City Council held a public hearing on June 17, 2025, at which time all interested persons had an opportunity to be heard.
34 Ord. No. XX-25, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2025 Page 2 of 13
G. Proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law.
H. The City Council did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations, and testimony set forth above and used its independent judgement to evaluate the Project.
SECTION 2: FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Dublin Municipal Code Section 8.120.050 .B., the City Council hereby finds that the Project is consistent with the General Plan in that the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are necessary to comply with state law and implement programs identified in the Housing Element.
Specifically, the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments would implement AB 626, SB 450, AB 2085 and AB2904 and Housing Element Programs B.4: Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, E.3:
Reasonable Accommodations, E.4: Low -Barrier Navigation Centers and E.6: Farmworker and Employee Housing.
B. The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), together with the State Guidelines and City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The City Council finds that the Project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as the Project would not r esult in any physical changes and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project would have a significant effect on the environment and is not subject to CEQA review.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
Periodically, the City initiates amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that it complies with changes in state law, implements the General Plan and remains internally consistent.
Recent legislation requires amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to address microenterprise home kitchen operations (MEHKO), SB 9 unit development1, community clinics that provide reproductive health care, and Planning Commission public notices.
In addition, the City Council approved the General Plan Housing Element in November 2022, and, subsequently, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified the Housing Element in January 2024. The Housing Element includes a number of programs that the City must implement, which require amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.
This includes amendments to the City’s reasonable accommodation regulations, the addition of procedures and regulations to process low-barrier navigation centers, and amendments to allow agricultural employee housing by-right.
Proposed Project
The City has initiated amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that it complies with state law and provides timely and effective implementation of the General Plan Housing Element. Amendments are proposed to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), Chapter 8.36 (Development Regulations), Chapter 8.38 (Reasonable Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities), Chapter 8.64 (Home Occupations Regulations), Chapter 8.68 (Inclusionary Zoning Regulations), Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), Chapter 8.81 (SB 9 Unit Developments), Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review), Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance) and Chapter 8.132 (Notice and Hearings). The proposed amendments also include the addition of a new chapter, Chapter 8.49 (Low-Barrier Navigation Centers). The proposed amendments would implement the following legislative bills:
Assembly Bill (AB) 626: Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations. AB 626 established “microenterprise home kitchen operations,” also referred to as MEHKO, as a new type of retail food facility operated by the resident of a private home kitchen. Senate Bill (SB) 450: Amendments to California HOME Act (SB 9). SB 450 stipulates that local agencies cannot impose objective zoning, subdivision and design standards on SB 9 unit developments that do not apply uniformly to other development within the same zoning district, unless the SB 9 standards are more permissive. In
1 An SB 9 unit development is a housing development with no more two primary residences on a lot in a single- family residential zoning district, the subdivision of a lot in a single-family residential zoning district into two lots, or both. SB 9 unit development allows the creation of up to four housing units within the lot area typically used for one single-family residence.
48
addition, SB 450 permits an SB 9 unit development even if it would demolish more than 25 percent of the exterior walls of an existing single-family residence. AB 2085: Community Clinics. AB 2085 requires local agencies to allow community clinics providing reproductive health services as a permitted use and provide ministerial review of development applications that meet specified objective planning standards, including, among other things, that they are on a parcel that is within a zone where office, retail, health care, or parking are principally permitted uses. AB 2904: Zoning Ordinance Notices. AB 2904 requires a planning commission public hearing notice for a proposed zoning ordinance amendment that affects the permitted uses of real property to be published, posted, mailed, and delivered, or advertised, as applicable, at least 20 days before the hearing. Previously, the requirement was 10 days.
In addition to implementing the above legislation, the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance would implement the following Housing Element programs:
B.4: Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. Review the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. E.3: Reasonable Accommodations. Amend the Zoning Ordinance to remove potential constraints for reasonable accommodation requests.
E.4: Low-Barrier Navigation Centers. Adopt and implement procedures and regulations to process low-barrier navigation centers, including a ministerial approval process.
E.6: Farm Worker and Employee Housing. Amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow agricultural employee housing by-right in the Agricultural (A) and Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning districts in compliance with the Health and Safety Code.
Analysis
The following provides an overview of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance:
Chapter 8.08 (Definitions)
Amendments to Chapter 8.08 are proposed to add definitions for “Agricultural Employee” and “Agricultural Operation,” and change the definitions of “Agricultural Housing” and “Caretaker Residence.” In addition, “Farm Mobile Home” would be deleted and definitions for “Low- Barrier Navigation Center,” “Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations” and “Reproductive Health Services” would be added.
Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land) Amendments are proposed to the permitted and conditionally permitted land uses matrix to permit “Agricultural Employee Housing” in the A and R-1 zoning districts. In the A zoning district, housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household would be permitted. A Conditional Use Permit approved by the Zoning Administrator would be required if it exceeds that amount. In the R-1 zoning district, housing accommodation for six or fewer employees would be permitted. “Farm Mobile Home” would be deleted from the land use matrix as a mobile home is a type of 49
agricultural employee housing that is permitted in the A zoning district. “Low-Barrier Navigation Centers” would be permitted in the Downtown Dublin zoning districts, and in the Planned Development (PD) zoning district, if the approved PD allows mixed-use or is a commercial PD permitting multifamily uses. “Microenterprise Home Kitchen Enterprises” would be permitted in the A, R-1, R-2 and R-M zoning districts. “Reproductive Health Services” would be permitted in all commercial and industrial zoning districts.
Chapter 8.36 (Development Regulations)
Amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.36 to add objective design standards for new single- family residential development and additions to existing single-family residences. The proposed objective design standards would be consistent with the objective design standards for SB 9 unit development as required by SB 450.
Chapter 8.38 (Reasonable Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities) Amendments are proposed to remove subjective design compatibility requirements in Chapter
8.38 to eliminate constraints to requests for reasonable accommodations. In addition, the amendments would clarify that if the project for which reasonable accommodations are being requested also requires a discretionary approval (such as a Conditional Use Permit, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning or subdivision map), the request for reasonable accommodations must be submitted first before proceeding with the other applications.
Chapter 8.49 (Low-Barrier Navigation Centers)
Amendments are proposed to add Chapter 8.49 to establish development standards for low- barrier navigation centers and to ensure this use is constructed and operated in a manner that is consistent with the requirements and allowances of state law. A low-barrier navigation center is a temporary, service-oriented shelter that helps homeless individuals and families quickly find permanent housing.
Chapter 8.64 (Home Occupations Regulations)
An amendment is proposed to exclude Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKO) from the regulations in Chapter 8.64. The Alameda County Environmental Health Department is the local enforcement agency for MEHKO and issues permits to ensure they comply with state law. Therefore, no other permit is required from the City beyond a Business License.
Chapter 8.68 (Inclusionary Zoning Regulations)
Amendments are proposed to the selection criteria for affordable housing units. Eligible occupants are qualified on the basis of household income and selection is based on a point system set forth in Chapter 8.68. Amendments are proposed to the points awarded for individuals employed within the boundaries of Dublin and/or Dublin residents from three points maximum, one per household member, to three points per household to ensure fairness between smaller households and multi-member households. In addition, the amendments would add veterans to the point system with one point per household as provided in the City’s Guidelines to the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations Ordinance.
Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations) Amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.76 to remove Farm Mobile Home from the parking 50
table and update Agricultural Employee Housing consistent with the new land use type name.
Chapter 8.81 (SB 9 Unit Developments)
Amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.81 to allow an SB 9 unit development that involves the demolition of more than 25 percent of the exterior walls of an existing single-family residence. In addition, amendments are proposed to the objective design standards for SB 9 unit development to provide consistency with the objective design standards proposed in Chapter 8.36 for new single-family development and additions to existing single-family residences as required by SB 450.
Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review)
An amendment is proposed to Chapter 8.104 to add development of a community clinic providing reproductive health services as a type of project that is exempt from Site Development Review.
Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance)
An amendment is proposed to Chapter 8.76 to add low-barrier navigation centers as a type of use requiring ministerial review and approval of a Zoning Clearance.
Chapter 8.132 (Notice and Hearings)
An amendment is proposed to Chapter 8.132 to require a 20-day public notice of a Planning Commission hearing for a Zoning Ordinance Amendment or Rezoning affecting the permitted uses of real property as required by AB 2904.
Attachment 1 is the draft Ordinance approving the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments.
A redlined version of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments is included as Attachment 2, where underlined text is proposed to be added and text with a strikethrough is proposed to be deleted.
Consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plans, and Zoning Ordinance The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Dublin General Plan in that the amendments are necessary to comply with state law and implement programs identified in the Housing Element. Specifically, the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments would implement AB 626, SB 450, AB 2085 and AB2904 and Housing Element Programs B.4:
Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, E.3: Reasonable Accommodations, E.4: Low-Barrier Navigation Centers and E.6: Farmworker and Employee Housing.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment and are not subject to CEQA review.

DESCRIPTION:
The 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project, CIP No. ST0517, which provides for the planning, design, and construction of improvements to various pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the City, including pedestrian/bicycle bridges, annual sidewalk repair, and the Regional Street Crossing between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard.
The Regional Street Crossing portion of the project will include the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons and a new crosswalk between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard, adjacent to the Wells Fargo building. The project will also install and upgrade existing pedestrian curb ramps in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) requirements, bulb outs, drainage improvements, and streetlighting improvements.
The 2024-2029 CIP also includes the Downtown Dublin Project, CIP No. PA0123, which provides for public art projects in the Downtown area, including Village Parkway. In anticipation of future public artwork at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Village Parkway, Staff worked with the design team to identify site constraints and needs, such as utilities and other infrastructure to support future public art at the site, and to develop plans for installing conduit for future electrical service to the site. The plans and specifications were then added to the Regional Street Crossing project construction documents, which creates economies of scale and reduces costs as compared to completing the work as a standalone project.
Bid Process and Results
The City issued a bid package for the combined project on May 16, 2025, consisting of 45 base bid items. Five sealed bids were received on June 19, 2025, with the base bids ranging from $572,397 to $896,100. The lowest base bid of $572,397 was submitted by Golden Bay Construction, Inc. A summary of the bids is provided as Attachment 4.
Staff reviewed the bid results, checked references and necessary licenses, and recommends that the City Council award a construction contract to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
To facilitate the approval of contract change orders and avoid construction delays, it is requested that the City Manager be authorized to approve change orders up to the contingency amount of $60,000. The resolution will authorize this change as it relates to the projects. If the construction contract is awarded to Golden Bay Construction, Inc., Staff anticipates work to begin in August and be completed in late 2025.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The project is exempt under Section 15301, Class 1 Repair or Minor Alteration of Existing Public Facilities; Section 15302, Class 2 Replacement or Reconstruction of Existing Facilities, and Section 15304, Class 4 Minor Alterations of the CEQA Guidelines.

DATE: July 15, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Amendment to the Letter of Agreement with the Dublin San Ramon Services District for Continued Administration of the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program
Prepared by: Felicia Escover, Economic Development Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an amendment to the Letter of Agreement with the Dublin San Ramon Services District for the continued administration of the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program. The amendment consolidates previous agreements and incorporates updated program terms and a 10-year extension of the program through June 30, 2035.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the Amended Letter of Agreement with Dublin San Ramon Services District for the Continued Administration of the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct cost associated with executing the amended Letter of Agreement. Extending the Sewer Capacity Assistance Program facilitates the attraction of commercial properties to Dublin, providing a general economic benefit to the City.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On May 4, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 53-10 approving the creation of a Sewer Capacity Assistance Program in partnership with Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD). The Program, which has been amended and extended multiple times since its inception, allows the City to transfer unused sewer capacity from City-owned properties to private properties, supporting the recruitment, renovation, and re-use of commercial properties in Dublin.
Through the Program, the City initially transferred 66.2 Dwelling Unit Equivalents (DUEs) of 101
sewer capacity. An additional 63.24 DUEs were allocated in January 2015. The Program has successfully attracted restaurants and other businesses to Dublin by helping reduce upfront wastewater-related costs. To date, 17 businesses and/or property owners have participated, leaving a remaining balance of 21.93 DUEs.
On May 20, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 31-25, extending the Program through June 30, 2030. Following this action, DSRSD staff proposed additional updates to streamline Program administration and recommended extending the Program further to June 30, 2035. Key proposed updates include:
DUEs allocated to a parcel will remain with that parcel and may not be reallocated back to the City;
The City will provide a schedule and plan for the use of the remaining DUEs; The City and DSRSD will meet annually to review and update the Program; and The City and District will establish mutually agreed-upon procedures to simplify Program administration.
City Staff support these changes, which will enhance long-term economic development efforts by continuing to offset wastewater-related costs for new, expanding, and relocating businesses. The amended Letter of Agreement incorporates these updates and extends the Program accordingly.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 1: Economic Development, Small Business Support, and Downtown Dublin.
Objective D: Continue to evaluate and implement small business programs that provide financial assistance, business development, permit processing, and support services to the community.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted, and the Staff Report was shared with Dublin San Ramon Services District in advance of the meeting.

SUBJECT: Amended Letter of Agreement for the Administration of Unused City of Dublin Wastewater Capacity
Dear Ms. Tribby:
At the request of the City of Dublin (City), on June 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of Dublin San Ramon Services District (District) adopted Resolution No. 20-25(Attachment A) extending certain unused wastewater capacity allocated to City properties. The City wishes to use this wastewater capacity as a credit against wastewater capacity needed for projects on City-owned properties, as credit against wastewater capacity that would otherwise be purchased by new, expanding, or relocating businesses, or as credit against wastewater capacity needed for new development projects (the “Program”). Resolution No. 20-25 acknowledges the prior letter agreements dated May 11, 2010 and February 4, 2016, respectively, and requires a new revised Letter of Agreement between the City and District to consolidate the two existing letter agreements, and to reflect the additional conditions required by the District Board of Directors.
Upon the City's approval and acceptance, evidenced by your signature below, this letter will serve as the Amended Letter of Agreement.
The conditions and procedures for administering the Program shall be as follows:
City shall provide to District Engineer a letter providing the name and contact information for the applicant for the new or expanding business, residential development project, or City Project (hereinafter collectively referenced as the "Project") the City is supporting, the name and contact information for the owner(s) of the property on which the Project is located (if different than the applicant for the Project) and the number of dwelling unit equivalents ("DUEs") the City desires to allocate to the Project.
The District Engineer shall have the discretion to determine whether the number of DUEs the City desires to allocate to the Project are consistent with the wastewater flow Attachment 2

Such determination will be based, at the sole discretion of the District Engineer, on information concerning the wastewater flow characteristics provided by the Applicant, and/or on a schedule of wastewater flow characteristics for the category or categories of use classifications determined by the District Engineer to be most applicable to the proposed use. The Applicant shall be responsible for complying with the District Code of Regulations with respect to commencing wastewater service, including but not limited to the acquisition of all additional DUEs determined to be necessary, the application for a District Facilities Construction Permit and compliance with all conditions thereto, and for paying all fees and changes attributable to the Project. Prior to and as a condition of District authorizing a Project to proceed, City shall sign an agreement with the District, the applicant, and the landowner (if different from the applicant) regarding management of the DUEs allocated for the Project, which agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment B, which form of agreement shall be revised to conform to this Amended Letter Agreement, and changes made from time to time to pertinent portions of the District Code of Regulations. The Program will be effective for a ten (10) year term, through June 30, 2035, after which date the Program and Amended Letter of Agreement shall terminate and any unused DUE credits made available for reallocation pursuant to the Program will expire. DUEs allocated by the City to any parcel of land for commercial, residential or City projects under the Program shall not be eligible for reallocation back to the City for use on a different parcel should a Program Project fail to proceed. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of this Amended Letter Agreement, the City shall submit to the District a written plan to utilize the remaining DUE credits within the ten (10) years provided. The aggregate total of DUEs allocated under the Program shall not exceed twenty-oneand ninety-three hundredths (21.93) DUEs at any time. As of the effective date (which shall be July 1, 2025), this Amended Letter of Agreement shall supersede the letter agreements as required by Resolution No. 9-10 and No. 5-15 106

CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 5.8
DATE: July 15, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program Agreement for Vets for Pets Inc
Prepared by: Felicia Escover, Economic Development Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving a Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program Agreement for Vets for Pets Inc, a new veterinary hospital located at 7667 Amador Valley Boulevard. This grant of $70,000 will be allocated for exterior improvements, including new horizontal siding, metal awnings at both entrances, updated paint for the siding and parapet, window upgrades, an entry door compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), refreshed landscaping with gravel, and new signs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program Agreement Between the City of Dublin and Vets for Pets Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding available in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 operating budget for this expenditure.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program (Program) is an endeavor of the City to improve the physical appearance of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area and the segment of Dublin Boulevard between Village Parkway and Dougherty Road (Program Area), encourage the retention of existing businesses, and increase property values, and tenant stability. The Program leverages public funds and private investment to enhance the physical appearance and economic vitality of commercial businesses in the Program Area.
Under the Program, commercial property owners or tenants with long-term leases (five years 140
or more) within the Program Area can apply for one of two façade improvement grants:
Mini-Grant – provides reimbursement of up to $5,000 for commercial building façade improvements with no match requirement.
Matching Grant – provides a reimbursable matching grant of two-thirds (66%) of eligible project costs, up to a maximum of $70,000. The total cost of the improvement work must be greater than $5,000. Receipt of a matching grant requires the approved applicant to contribute a minimum of one-third of the total cost of the façade improvement costs.
Eligible improvements may include, but are not limited to, the removal of outdated signs, awnings, and exterior clutter; exterior painting; and the repair or replacement of exterior siding, including the addition of new façade elements and architectural details. Other eligible upgrades include the installation of new entry doors that meet ADA accessibility standards, display windows, canvas awnings over windows and entryways, new signs, and exterior lighting.
Permanent landscaping enhancements and non-affixed structures such as monument signs may also qualify, along with mandatory Title 24 exterior upgrades and the construction of outdoor dining or community gathering areas.
Applicant Information
Vets for Pets is a new veterinary clinic under development at 7667 Amador Valley Boulevard in Dublin. The project is led by Dr. Rajbir Grewal and Dr. Daleep Arora, who bring extensive experience in both clinical care and veterinary practice ownership. Together, they previously owned and operated Yosemite Veterinary Hospital in Modesto, a successful, community- focused clinic they built and managed from 2016 until its sale in 2024. They also currently co- own Hardin Veterinary Hospital in Stockton, a general practice offering comprehensive veterinary services. With the new Dublin facility, Dr. Grewal and Dr. Arora plan to shift their full professional focus to this location, which is envisioned as a combined general and emergency care hospital. Their goal is to expand access to high-quality veterinary services and improve continuity of care for pet owners across the region, with long-term plans to develop the clinic into a full-service, 24-hour emergency animal hospital.
The applicant is requesting a Matching Grant of $70,000 through the City’s Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program to support the cost of substantial exterior renovations to the building. The total project cost is estimated at $144,384, with the applicant contributing more than the required one-third match. The site has been vacant since March 2020, following the closure of an urgent care facility. Transforming this long-unused space into a vibrant, community-oriented veterinary clinic directly supports the City’s goals of revitalizing key corridors, enhancing economic vitality, and fostering job creation.
Proposed improvements include horizontal siding, ADA-compliant entry doors, a refreshed paint scheme, new monument and building signage, exterior lighting, and permanent landscaping. To date, the applicant has invested more than $900,000 in personal funds into interior construction, infrastructure upgrades, and the purchase of advanced medical equipment, and diagnostic tools. The scope of the project demonstrates a strong commitment to providing exceptional care and a long-term presence in Dublin. However, due to higher- 141
than-anticipated construction costs, additional funding is now needed to complete the exterior portion of the project.
The clinic anticipates creating eight to 10 full-time jobs upon opening, including veterinarians, veterinary technicians, receptionists, and support staff. Over time, as the clinic expands into a 24-hour emergency facility, staffing is expected to grow to 25 to 30 employees. The model of care is specifically designed to bridge the gap between standard veterinary hours and the high cost of emergency services, offering evening and weekend urgent care for common but time- sensitive issues such as allergic reactions, minor injuries, and infections.
The proposed façade improvements are an essential step in restoring this long-vacant building back into productive use and ensuring the clinic presents a welcoming, professional appearance upon opening. By transforming an underutilized property into a vibrant, community-serving veterinary facility, the project directly supports the objectives of the Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program. It represents a significant small business investment that enhances the visual character of the area, stimulates economic activity, and delivers essential veterinary care and job opportunities to Dublin residents.
Economic Development Committee Consideration
On June 24, 2025, the Economic Development Committee reviewed an application from the business owner of Vets for Pets Inc. The Committee reviewed the application and, by consensus, recommended City Council approval of the $70,000 grant. This recommendation aligns with the Committee’s role in providing policy guidance and direction on economic development initiatives.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 1: Economic Development, Small Business Support, and Downtown Dublin.
Objective D: Continue to evaluate and implement small business programs that provide financial assistance, business development, permit processing, and support services to the community.
