from the Police Department and City Manager's Office, it is occasionally for an activity where admission is ticketed. The proposed amendment to Section 11.64.060 would clarify that a permit holder may exclude the general public in those situations, as well as establish reasonable rules of use during its event. This is similar to use rights granted to persons renting city recreation facilities. §13.04.435 Remove prohibition that sidewalk dining area enclosures cannot be attached to the sidewalk. The current code provides that enclosures for outdoor dining areas cannot be attached to the sidewalk. Unfortunately, restaurant operators and diners are pushing these barriers out into the required minimum sidewalk pathways. An amendment is proposed to remove the prohibition that enclosures cannot be attached to the sidewalk, and effectively provides the zoning administrator discretion to provide for attachments of such enclosures (which may be to the sidewalk or to a building) when considering outdoor dining applications. §14.04.050 Clarify when a separate irrigation meter is needed. Make the municipal code consistent with the City of Pleasanton Landscape Ordinance (see Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance / Bay Friendly Basics (MWELO/BFB)) for the size of irrigated areas that require separate domestic and irrigation meters for: residential uses with 5,000 square feet or more of irrigated area, and commercial uses with 1,000 square feet or more of irrigated area. And, provide for City Engineer discretion in requiring separate domestic and irrigation meters for submetered and separately metered sites. §14.06.040 Responsibilities of Recycled Water Customers. Clarify that persons trained and certified by the city or the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) to manage recycled water can become responsible for additional customer sites. And, require such trained persons to meet with a city representative once per year at the customer's site to verify equipment safety and compliance records. §17.16.046 Delete written findings requirement of Heritage Tree Board of Appeals decisions. The Heritage Tree Board of Appeals makes its decision by a vote at its hearings, and the appellant immediately knows the final determination. As the discussion of the board is recorded (in both minutes and by audio tape), formal written findings are not needed. §17.16.110 Allow fines and penalties to be appealed to the Heritage Tree Board of Appeals. Under the current code, city staff may impose fines or penalties for illegal heritage tree removal or disfiguring pruning. Fine and penalty amounts are typically based on an arborist report regarding lost value, or a flat $5,000 penalty if not enough tree material remains to estimate value. Rather than requiring a person who disagrees with the fine or penalty to file a legal action in court, an amendment is proposed to permit fine and penalty amounts to be appealed to the Heritage Tree Board of Appeals. §§18.106.060 and 18.106.070 Clarify residency and rental restrictions for homes with accessory dwelling units. To maintain the single-family home nature of neighborhoods, the code limits the ability of owners to rent their property when they add an accessory Page 3 of 5
