homes to the north and south, and by a City Landscape Maintenance Easement (Open Space) to the west
or rear of the property.
On April 24, 2006, the Applicant applied for a Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Day Care
Home (up to 14 children) to operate in a single-family home located at 7956 Crossridge Road. As a part
of the Conditional Use Permit, the Applicant also requested a parking reduction for 2 of the 4 required
loading spaces. The proposed Large Family Daycare would have 2 full-time employees consisting of the
Applicant and her granddaughter-in-law, who both live in the home. The proposed operating hours for
the Daycare would be Monday thru Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Daycare would be closed on
the weekends.
The following is a summary ofthe City's actions on this project:
· On August 8, 2006, the Planning Commission reviewed and denied the request for a Conditional
Use Permit for a Large Family Day Care.
· At the September 5, 2006 City Council Meeting, the City Council heard an Appeal of the Planning
Commission decision that was filed by Mayor Lockhart.
A complete background and analysis of the issues are presented in the attached City Council Staff Report
of September 5, 2006 (Attachment 2).
At the City Council meeting of September 5, 2006, the Council held a public hearing on the appeal of the
Planning Commission's denial of the application for a Conditional Use Permit and parking reduction for
the Large Family Day Care Home. The Council received public testimony both in support and opposition
of the application and testimony from the Applicant, Miss Dina. The Applicant indicated a willingness to
have the requested Conditional Use Permit granted with the following additional conditions:
a. Restricting the number of children served to 12;
b. Increasing the size ofthe home's driveway to provide 3 loading spaces instead of2;
c. Requiring clients to receive a letter regarding the home's traffic policy;
d. Restricting the hours that children may play outside to between the hours of 10:40 a.m. and
11 :40 a.m. and 1.5 hours in the afternoon; and
e. Restricting the number of children outside at anyone time to 6.
After hearing all public testimony, the City Council discussed the proposal. The Council appreciated the
Applicant's willingness to reduce the maximum number of children from 14 to 12 and agreed that the
approval should be so conditioned. Reducing the number of children served from 14 to 12 reduces the
number of on-site loadings spaces required from 4 spaces to 3 spaces. The City Council indicated that the
Council would grant a one-space parking reduction if it was not reasonably practicable to provide the one
additional loading space on-site.
At the hearing, the City Council asked that certain other conditions of approval, suggested by the
Applicant be included in the approval. These include a limitation of no more than 6 children playing
outside at anyone time, limiting the time children can play outside and a requirement to provide a traffic
policy describing the pick-up and drop-off requirements to the parents/guardians. These conditions are
included in the draft Resolution (Attachment 1).
The City Council conducted a straw vote and directed Staff to return to the next City Council meeting
with a draft Resolution approving the Appeal, with the added conditions as described above.
Since the September 5, 2006 City Council meeting, Staff has worked with the Applicant and has
determined that it is feasible to provide the required third loading space on-site with the expansion of the
existing driveway surface (please see Attachment 5 for the proposed location). A condition of approval
2
has been included requiring that the loading spaces are provided prior to the operation of the Large
Family Day Care Home. In the event that an unforeseen circumstance arises, the draft Resolution
includes the City Council findings to grant the parking reduction for one loading space.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: Adopt Resolution (Attachment 1) granting the appeal, thereby
reversing the Planning Commission's Decision and Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Large
Family Day Care Home (up to 12 children) and a parking reduction for one loading space for Miss Dina's
Day Care (P A 06-029).

its intention to grant the appeal and approve the application, subject to certain additional conditions
suggested by the applicant, including a reduction in the number of children served by the facility from 14

WHEREAS, the "record herein" consists of the testimony at and the minutes of the public hearing
on September 5, 2006, all documentary evidence submitted to the City Council at the public hearing,
including the agenda statement dated September 5,2005.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, after considering the provisions of the Dublin
Municipal Code and the record herein, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed operation of the Large Family Day Care Home including a parking reduction
for one loading space, as conditioned, is compatible with other land uses, transportation and
service facilities in the vicinity because: 1) the Daycare Home complies with State laws that
require the primary use of the site to be a single family residential use with the Daycare as an
accessory use; 2) the noise and traffic impacts will be minimized by restrictions on the hours of
operation and the low number of vehicle trips that may be generated by the project; and 3) the City
Traffic Engineer's review revealed that the residential street, including street width and street
capacity are adequate to handle the necessary parking and circulation if the additional loading
space on-site is not practically feasible and therefore the required parking standards are excessive
and the reduction in the required number of off-site loading spaces for a 12-child Large Family
Day Care Home from 2 spaces to 1 space is appropriate and will not result in a parking deficiency.
B. The Large Family Day Care Home use including a parking reduction for one loading space,
as conditioned, 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 because: 1) the proposed Large
Family Daycare Home will comply with all City of Dublin and State regulations; 2) the Large
Family Daycare Home will be located at an existing facility that serves as a Small Family Daycare
Home; and 3) the use is compatible with the neighborhood; 4) the Daycare will be a licensed
daycare facility; and 5) the City Traffic Engineer's review revealed that the residential street,
including street width and street capacity are adequate to handle the necessary parking and
circulation if the additional loading space on-site is not practically feasible and therefore the
required parking standards are excessive and the reduction in the required number of off-site
loading spaces for a 12-child Large Family Day Care Home from 2 spaces to 1 space is appropriate
and will not result in a parking deficiency.
C. The Large Family Day Care Home use including a parking reduction for one loading space,
as conditioned, will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because: 1)
as conditioned, noise and traffic impacts will be minimized by the Conditions of Approval which
establish limits on the number of children enrolled and the hours of operation and further limits the
number of children outside at anyone time; 2) the additional vehicle trips are considered
insignificant to the existing residential street, which has a 1,500 ADT (Average Daily Trip)
2
J ;
i z. ''-1
capacity and is currently reaching approximately 36% of that capacity; 3) the 2 required parking
spaces and 2 of the 3 loading spaces will be provided on site; and 4) the parking reduction for 1
loading space is warranted based on the availability of loading spaces on Crossridge Road if the
additional loading space on-site is not practically feasible and therefore the required parking
standards are excessive and the reduction in the required number of off-site loading spaces for a
12-child Large Family Day Care Home from 2 spaces to 1 space is appropriate and will not result
in a parking deficiency.
D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, and welfare because the proposed Large Family Day Care Home including a
parking reduction for one loading space is located at an existing residential dwelling within a
single- family residential neighborhood where such services are already provided and with
adequate street access and parking if the additional loading space on-site is not practically feasible
and therefore the required parking standards are excessive and the reduction in the required
number of off-site loading spaces for a 12-child Large Family Day Care Home from 2 spaces to 1
space is appropriate and will not result in a parking deficiency.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being
proposed because: 1) the Large Family Day Care Home will be located on an existing site; 2) the
2 parking spaces and 2 of the 3 loading spaces will be provided on-site; 3) the reduction for 1
loading space is appropriate based on the existing street width and capacity and the provision of
parking spaces along Crossridge Road if the additional loading space on-site is not practically
feasible; 4) the site is bordered by single-family residential homes on two sides and Open Space to
the rear of the property; and 5) the Daycare complies with State laws that require the primary use
of the site to be a single family residential use with the daycare as an accessory use.
F. The Large Family Day Care Home and parking reduction is not contrary to the specific
intent clauses, development regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning
district in which it is located because: 1) Section 8.12.050 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits
a Large Family Daycare in all residential zoning districts with a Conditional Use Permit approved
by the Planning Commission or City Council, on appeal; 2) the Planned Development Zoning
District (PA 85-041) in which the subject property is located states that the property is subject to
the requirements of the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District; 3) Section 8.76.080.B of
the Dublin Zoning Ordinance requires a total of two (2) parking spaces and three (3) loading
spaces for the subject property to support the Large Family Daycare, based on the requirement that
the dwelling unit have two (2) parking spaces plus one loading stall per every four children served
by the facility (3 loading spaces); Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits a reduction in the required
number of parking spaces when the required finding can be met; 4) the requested parking
reduction for one loading space, has been determined to be warranted based on the capacity and
width of Crossridge Road and the availability of loading spaces on Crossridge Road if the
additional loading space on-site is not practically feasible; and 5) as conditioned, the driveway will
be required to be kept clean and free of the property owners cars in order to provide adequate
loading spaces for parents and guardians of the children in the Daycare;
G. The Large Family Daycare is consistent with the Dublin General Plan because: 1) the
proposed use is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit and meets the intentions of the zoning
district in which it is located; and 2) as conditioned, the Large Family Daycare will operate in such
a manner as to limit impacts on the surrounding properties.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby reverse the Planning
Commission denial and conditionally approve P A 06-029, a Conditional Use Permit application to operate
a Large Family Daycare Home, as generally depicted by the Site Plan and Floor Plan received by the

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Background:
The project site is an interior lot surrounded by single-family homes to the north and south, and by a City
Landscape Maintenance Easement (Open Space) to the west or rear of the property. The site currently has
a Small Family Day Care Home (Miss Dina's Day Care) with a play area in the backyard for the daycare
children. The property is zoned PD (Planned Development), and the said zoning allows a Large Fal11ily
Day Care Home with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The Applicant is currently operating a Small Fal11ily Day Care Home on their property located at 7956
Crossridge Road. The Applicant has operated a Small Family Day Care Home in this location since
January 2006. Pursuant to the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, Small Family Day Care Homes, which provide
care for up to 8 children, are permitted by-right in all residential zoning districts; Large Family Day Care
Homes, which provide care for 9 to 14 children, are permitted in a residential district pursuant to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
On April 24, 2006, the Applicant applied for a Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Day Care
Home (up to 14 children) to operate in a single-family home located at 7956 Crossridge Road. In
conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit, the Applicant also requested a parking reduction for 2 of the
4 required loading spaces. The proposed Large Family Daycare would have 2 full-time employees
consisting of the Applicant and her granddaughter-in-law, who both live in the home. The proposed
operating hours for the Daycare would be Monday thru Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Daycare
would be closed on the weekends.
Planning Commission Hearing:
On August 8, 2006, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and denied the application for the
Conditional Use Permit for a Large Fal11ily Day Care Home. Prior to the public hearing, Staff received 17
letters in opposition and 1 letter in support of the application. During the meeting, 9 individuals spoke out
against the Large Family Day Care Home and 3 individuals spoke in favor of the Large Family Day Care
Home use. The Planning Commission found that the noise impacts associated with the proposed Large
Family Day Cal"e Home in this neighborhood would be incompatible with the neighborhood. The
Planning Commission also expressed concerns about safety, specifically related to simultaneous drop-off
alld pick-up of the children and the fact that only 2 of the 4 required loading spaces could be provided OD-
site and therefore would negatively impact the neighborhood. By a vote of 3-2-0, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution 06 - 26, denying a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow Miss
Dina's Daycare to operate a Large Family Day Care Home at 7956 Crossridge Road (Attachment 2).
Appeal:
On August 15, 2006, Mayor Janet Lockhart filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision
(Attachment 1). Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance (Section 8.136.040.B.2), when a City Councilmember
appeals a decision, there is a presumption applied that the reason for the appeal is because the appealed
action has significant and material effects on the quality of life within the City of Dublin. Pursuant to the
Zoning Ordinance, no other reason need be or shall be stated by the Councilmember in his or her written
Page 2 of3
t .J
appeal. The appeal letter filel 'y Mayor Lockhart states that the Es- .mds for the appeal are \'the
presumption that the action of the Dublin Plalming Commission will have a significant and material effect
on the quality of life within the City of Dublin."
Under the City Zoning Ordinance, the City Council may affirm, affirm in part, or reverse the action of the
Planning Commission, based upon findings of fact. Findings shall identify the reasons for the action on
the appeal, and verify the compliance or non-complial1ce of the subject of the appeal with the provisions
of the Appeals Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council may adopt additional conditions of
approval that address the specific subject of the appeal.
The City Council may continue this matter, but must take action within 75 days ofthe date the appeal was
filed, pursuant to Section 8.136.060.A ofthe Dublin Municipal Code. 75 days from August 15,2006, is
October 27,2006. Additionally, because a member of the City Council filed the appeal, the Council may
consider any issue concerning the application.
ANALYSIS:
Staffs analysis ofthe project is set forth in the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 3).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEVV:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and City
environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that
environmental documents be prepared. The project has been found to be a Statutorily Exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15274, because the
project is a Large Family Day Care Home.

Attachment 2

,
I '~", l \
i t
A. The proposed operation of the Large Family Day Care Home is not compatible with other
land uses, transpOliation and service facilities in the vicinity because the Large Family Day Care
Home would result in an increase in noise with the additional vehicles dropping-off and picking-
up children and a greater number of children playing out doors. Therefore the proposal is
incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood and would create an adverse effect on the
neighborhood.
B. The use would adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare because: 1) the proposed Large
Family Day Care Home would not comply with the parking requirements in Section 8.76.080.B of
the Dublin Municipal Code that requires two (2) on-site parking spaces and four (4) on-site
loading spaces; 2) the proposed Large Family Day Care Home would not comply with the noise
levels found in the Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments (Table 9.1) in the
Dublin General Plan, because the noise created by the children at the day care would exceed that
of a "Normal Acceptable" standard; and 3) the proposed Large Fal11ily Day Care Home would
qualify as an Unreasonable Noise, according to Section 5.28.020 of the Dublin Municipal Code,
because of the additional children playing outdoors and the additional vehicles dropping-off and
picking-up children that would create additional noise in the neighborhood.
C. The use would be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because: 1)
the Large Family Day Care Home would create a level of noise that is considered to be a nuisance
to the neighborhood as defined by Section 5.28.020 of the Dublin Municipal Code and Table 9.1
in the Dublin General Plan; and 2) the site is not able to provide adequate off-street parking as
required by Section 8.76.080.B ofthe Dublin Municipal Code.
D. The subject site is not physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being
proposed because: 1) the site would not be able to provide the required amount of parking
according to Section 8.76.080.B of Dublin Municipal Code for a Large Fal11ily Day Care Home;
and 2) the drop-off and pick-up area outside and the outdoor play area are in close proximity to the
neighboring homes and adjacent outdoor areas, thereby creating a noise impact on the
neighborhood.
E. The Large Family Day Care Home is contrary to the specific intent clauses, development
regulations, or perfOrma11Ce standards established for the zoning district in which it is located
because: 1) Section 8.76.080.B of the Dublin Municipal Code requires two (2) on-site parking
spaces, plus one loading space for every four (4) children; 2) the day care will have fourteen (14)
children a11d therefore will require four (4) loading spaces; 3) the required two (2) parking spaces
can be provided within the existing garage which can hold two (2) cars and meets the size
requirements in the Dublin Zoning Ordinance; 4) the Applicant is able to provide 2 loading spaces
in the driveway, however the Applicant is unable to provide for the remaining two (2) required
loading spaces on-site; 5) the Applicant requested an exception to provide two (2) of the required
four (4) loading spaces off-site on the street adjacent to the residence; 6) the Planning Commission
determined that the two (2) on-street loading spaces would create a concentration of vehicles on-
street and determined that all loading spaces should be provided on-site; and 7) since the Large
Family Day Care Home can only provide two (2) loading spaces on site, which will result in a
deficit of two (2) loading spaces, the proposal for a Large Family Day Care Home does not meet
the requirements of Section 8.76.080.B (required parking) of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION:
~
1) Receive Staff presentation;
2) Open the public hearing;
3) Take testimony from the Applicant and the public;
4) Close the public hearing and deliberate; and
5) Adopt Resolution (Attachment 1) approving a Conditional Use Permit
to allow a Large Family Day Care (up to 14 children) at 7956
Crossridge Road.
BACKGROUND:
The Applicant is currently operating a Small Fal11i1y Day Care on their property located at 7956
Crossridge Road. The Applicant has operated a Small Family Day Care in this location since 2005. Per
the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, Small Family Day Cares, which provide care for up to eight (8) children,
are permitted by-right in all residential zoning districts; Large Family Day Cares, which provide care for
nine (9) to fourteen (14) children, are permitted in a residential district pursuant to the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit.
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Day Care (up to 14
children) to operate in a single-family home located at 7956 Crossridge Road. The proposed operating
hours for the Daycare will be Monday thru Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Daycare will be
closed on the weekends. ,The Large Family Daycare will have two full-time employees consisting of the
Applicant and her husband.
ANALYSIS:
The project site is an interior lot surrounded by single-family homes to the north and south, and by a City
Landscape Maintenance Easement (Open Space) to the west or rear ofthe property. The site currently has

a Small Family Day Care with a ..y a~ea in t?e backyard for the day~ar hildren. ~e property is zoned /6fJ F?
PD (Planned Development), and the saId zomng allows a Large FamllY.lJay Care WIth authorization of a ~J
Conditional Use Permit.'
Noise Impacts
Staff has reviewed the application and has included a Condition of Approval (Condition 3) that limits the
hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, to ensure that the daycare use is
compatible with the neighborhood. The Conditions further require that noise generated at the site be
controlled so as not to create a nuisance to the adjoining residential neighborhood. Outside activities are
restricted from taking place before 9:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. (Condition 4).
Traffic Impacts
The application has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer and it has been determined that minimal
traffic would be generated by a Large Family Day Care with a maximum of fourteen (14) children. Drop-
off and pick-up times will be primarily in the morning and evening hours and the maximum number ~f
children being served should not create an unreasonable concentration of vehicles to and from the house'
at any particular time. Additionally, parents typically drop-off and pick-up their children at staggered
times, which will further limit the number of cars at anyone time within the neighborhood.
Parking
Section 8.76.080 B of the Zoning Ordinance defines the required parking for a Large Family Day Care
facility. The code section is included below:
RESIDENTIAL USE TYPES NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
Large Family Day Care Home (9-14 Children) 2 per dwelling, plus 1 space for every employee not
residing in the home, plus one loading space for j
every 4 children in the facility ,
Figure 1: Zoning Ordinance Section 8.67.080.B
Per the Dublin Zoning Ordinance requirement, the Applicant would be required to provide two (2)
parking spaces and four (4) loading spaces. There are two (2) garage parking spaces reserved for the
home. As a part of the application, the Applicant has indicated that the two (2) employees for the day
care reside at the home, therefore the two (2) garage parking spaces are adequate. Four (4) loading spaces
are required based on the number of children the day care will serve. The project site has an area for two
(2) loading spaces in the driveway. Based on the size and location of the driveway loading area, it
appears that the spaces are satisfactory for the purpose of drop-off and pickup of children. On-site there is
sufficient area for two (2) of the four (4) required loading spaces. The additional two (2) loading spaces
can be provided adjacent to the property along the street. Section 8.76.050.E of the Dublin Zoning
Ordinance allows for a parking reduction if it can be shown that:
1. The Conditional Use Permit findings can be made;
2. It can be demonstrated that the required parking standards are excessive for this situation; and
3. Overflow parking will not impact any adjacent use.
While the two (2) additional loading spaces can not be provided on-site, there is adequate space to provide
for the additional two (2) loading spaces adjacent to the residence. Due to staggered drop-off and pick-up
times, the combination of available on-street and off-street parking should be sufficient to serve the
proposed day care use.
20f4
Licensing Il u)--. \ '2.-'1
Staff has included two Conditions of Approval (Conditions No. 24 and :L....;) that require the operator to
submit a copy of the State of California Community Care Licensing Permit for the operation of a Large
Family Day Care Home for verification purposes, prior to establishment of the use. The Conditions of
Approval further require the Applicant, on a continuing basis, to provide the Community Development
Department with current and updated day care operating licenses issued by the State of California
Department of Social Services.
~ccessory Structures
The Applicant currently has an accessory structure located on the slope to the West of their property on a
City Landscape Maintenance Easement. According to the provisions of the City Landscape Maintenance
Easement(pD - 1486 ZU), the homeowner shall not install any structure on the slope other than a fence.
A Condition of Approval (Condition 14) has been included requiring that the accessory structure is
removed within sixty (60) days of approval.
Public Notice
A public notice was sent to property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project to advise them of the
request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Large Family Day Care and the date of this meeting.
Correspondence
Staff has received one letter from a concerned neighbor. In their letter, Francisco and Emma Abad of
7992 Crossridge Road, cite concerns of possible traffic increase in the neighborhood. The City's Traffic
Engineer has reviewed the application. A Large Family Day Care with a maximum of fourteen (14)
- children will have minimal impact to the traffic of the existing residential street.
Conformance with Zoning Ordinance and General Plan
The ,subject property is zoned PD (planned Development, PA 85-041), with a General Plan Land Use of
Medium-Density Residential. Section 8.12.050 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance states that a Large Family
Day Care use is permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. The
proposed Miss Dina's Daycare is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and the Municipal Code
because the project is compatible with the existing zoning and General Plan Land Use designation.
Therefore, the application for a Large Family Day Care is an appropriate use within a Single Family
Residential area.
The application has been reviewed by relevant City Departments. Staff believes that the proposed Large
Family Day Care Home would have limited impacts to the surrounding neighborhood regarding noise,
traffic, and parking, with the inclusion ofthe suggested Conditions of Approval as included in Attachment
1. The Applicant has reviewed and agreed to the proposed Conditions of Approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and City
environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that
environmental documents be prepared. The project has been found to be a Statutorily Exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15274.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Open the public
hearing; 3) Take testimony from the Applicant and the public; 4) Close public hearing and deliberate; and
5) Adopt Resolution (Attachment 1) approving a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Large Family Day
Care (up to 14 children) at 7956 Crossridge Road.

Mr. Bryan Moore, Assistant Planner, presented the specifics of the project as outlined in the
Staff Report.
Chair Schaub clarified that an increase of 6 children to the daycare would result in an increase
of 12 trips to the Average Daily Trips (ADTs), and Mr. Moore agreed.
Chair Schaub clarified that the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would run with the property, and
Mr. Moore agreed.
Cm. Fasulkey asked if there is a definition for what constitutes a noise nuisance. Ms. Mary Jo
Wilson, Planning Manager, stated that the Municipal Code outlines acceptable levels of noise.
She further stated that a nuisance would be comparable to egregious or excessive levels of noise.
Chair Schaub sought clarification on how the children would be picked-up and dropped-off at a
staggered rate. Mr. Moore stated that the children would arrive and depart during the allotted
timeframes based on the varying schedule of each parent. Chair Schaub asked if simultaneous
arrivals and departures were possible. Mr. Moore stated that it is possible.
Cm. King asked if the Applicant would be required to maintain residency at the property. Mr.
Moore explained that the property would be required to be maintained as a residential use.
Cm. King suggested that this be added to the Conditions of Approval, based on the State of.
California Statute. Ms. Wilson stated that there is a condition regarding State of California
licensing for the facility. She further stated that the function of a Small or Large Family Daycare
is considered a single-family use, as defined by the State Statute.
Cm. King asked about the Average Daily Trips (ADTs) calculation. Ms. Wilson stated that the
calculation is based on the ADTs of a residential street which is included in the Circulation
Element of the General Plan. She further stated that the General Plan is modified and updated
as necessary.
Cm. Fasulkey asked if the existing accessory structure services the Applicant' s current daycare,
and Mr. Moore said no. .
Vice Chair Wehrenberg asked if there are any other businesses in the Applicant/s neighborhood
that would generate additional traffic. Mr. Moore stated that there are other home occupations;
however, according to the Zoning Ordinance, additional traffic is not permitted for home
occupations.
Cm. Fasulkey asked about the distribution of the public hearing notices for the project. Mr.
Moore explained that homes within a 300-foot radius of the project were mailed a public
hearing notice.
Chair Schaub asked the Assistant City Attorney to briefly explain the legal ramifications of this
project. Ms. Kit Faubion, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the Conditional Use Permit
requested for this project is a method of regulation that is permitted by the State of California.
She further stated that in the case of a Large Family Daycare Home, the State of California has
(.;ommit'.sioit

.YE ugust 8.<
I 1"2- ~
largely pre-empted the field and allows very little participation by local regulators in
determining where and when Large Family Daycare Homes should be approved. Small Family
Daycares Homes are not regulated and are considered a residential use of the property. For
Large Family Daycare Homes, the State of California allows very limited regulations and
identifies the elements that can be regulated, such as noise and traffic.
Cm. King asked if the State of California statute overrides Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions (CC&Rs). Ms. Faubion said yes and explained that: 1) the State of California statute
explicitly overrides CC&Rs and 2) CC&Rs are an agreement between people and in very few
cases would the City be a party to the CC&Rs.
Chair Schaub opened the public hearing.
Ms. Dina Yaroshevskaya, Applicant, discussed her reasons for having the project approved.
Chair Schaub asked if she has read and agreed to all of the conditions of the proposed
resolution, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said yes.
Cm. Biddle asked if the Daycare was in operation around 11:00 a.m. earlier in the day, and Ms.
Yarashevskaya said yes. Cm. Biddle asked if the children would either be in the house or in the
backyard, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said yes. Cm. Biddle asked about the ages of the children
currently in the daycare, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said 1 - 5 years. Chair Schaub asked if the
same age range would be maintained if the project was approved, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said
yes.
Cm. King asked about the condition of the fences in the backyard, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said
the fences are in good condition. Cm. King asked if she read some of the letters from her
neighbors, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said yes. Cm. King asked for her response to neighbor's
letters claiming that their driveways are blocked during drop-off and pick-up periods. Ms.
Yaroshevskaya stated that it has happened in the past and the offending parent apologized.
Cm. King asked if any of the neighbors had talked with her about traffic or parking problems,
and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said no.
Cm. Fasulkey asked who would provide daily supervision of the children. Ms. Yaroshevskaya
stated that it would be she and her daughter-in-law, who is also licensed. Chair Schaub asked if
her daughter-in-law lives in the home, and Ms. Yaroshevskaya said yes.
Vice Chair Wehrenberg asked if she was aware that signage is not allowed at the residence, and
Ms. Yaroshevskaya said yes.
Ms. Aryana Samiian, neighborhood resident, discussed her reasons for having the project
denied. Her reasons included negative impacts on parking and traffici inadequate size, design,
and safety of the backyardi and an increase in the noise level.
Ms. Jaiti Sharma, parent of a child in the Daycare, discussed her reasons for having the project
approved. Her reasons included comfortableness with the safety and care of her child, constant
supervision of the children, adequate size of the backyard, and sufficient staggering of drop-off

and pick-up times. Vice Chair Wehrenberg asked if she could foresee any safety complications
with an expansion of the daycare, and Ms. Sharma said no.
Ms. Tanya Dumay, parent of a child in the Daycare, discussed her reasons for having the project
approved. She explained her cornfortableness with the safety and care of her child.
Ms. Smitha Prabhakar, parent of child in the Daycare, discussed her reasons for having the
project approved. She explained her cornfortableness with the safety and care of her child. She
presented a letter, from Mr. Liz and David Bayat, also in favor of the project.
Ms. Shelia Brandes, neighborhood resident, discussed her reasons for having the project denied.
Her reasons included negative impacts on parking and traffic, poor condition of the shared
fence on the north side of the backyard, and inadequate size of the backyard.
Chair Schaub clarified that the size and safety of the daycare is outside the scope of the Planning
Commission, and Mr. Moore agreed. Vice Chair Wehrenberg asked if the Planning
Commission could add a Condition of Approval that would require the facility to provide proof
of valid licensing prior to the project being approved. Mr. Moore stated that that condition is
currently in the proposed resolution.
Mr. Larry Trumbo, neighborhood resident, discussed his reasons for having the project denied.
He stated that the development's CC&Rs prohibit any type of business within the development.
Ms. Faubion explained that the State of California statute pre-empts the CC&Rs.
Mr. Ramoncito Firmeza, neighborhood resident, discussed his reasons for having the project
denied. His reasons included the CC&Rs, inadequate size and safety of the Daycare, negative
impacts on parking and traffic, and an increase in the noise level.
Mr. David Davis, neighborhood resident, discussed his reasons for having the project denied.
He explained that CC&Rs always supersede the local, state, and Federal law. He read Article
4.10f the Ridge Creek Subdivision CC&Rs that prohibits gainful occupation within the
Subdivision. He further stated that in 1997, two home occupation attempts were struck down
by the CC&Rs.
Mr. Steven Safos, neighborhood resident, discussed his reasons for having the project denied.
His reasons included negative impacts on parking and traffic, and causing imbalance to a
peaceful and quiet residential neighborhood. He further stated that he applied for a home
occupation and was denied by the City.
Mr. Michael Utsumi, neighborhood resident, discussed his reasons for having the project
denied. His reasons included negative impacts on parking and traffic, disruption to the scale
and character of the neighborhood, and potential erosion to home values.
Mr. Lothar De Temple, neighborhood resident, discussed his reasons for having the project
denied. His reasons included the CC&Rs, and negative impacts on traffic and parking. He read
a section of the CC&Rs that grants the City the right to enter the Subdivision to abate any
nuisances.

Mr. Alan Nielson, neighborhood resident, asked about the legal limits of occupancy per square
foot of the house. 1\111:. Gregory Shreeve, Building Official, stated that a house with a three-foot
front door can have 49 occupants. Building Code standards are based on exiting and not square
footage. He further stated that for living purposes, the Building Code allows 2 persons per
bedroom, plus one person. Mr. Nielson stated that due to existing problems with parking and
traffic, the waiver for the two required parking loading spaces within the public right-of-way
and not on-site should not be allowed.
Chair Schaub asked Staff to clarify the waiver. Mr. Moore stated that the waiver is for two on-
site loading spaces that are not provided on-site. Ms. Wilson added that there is a waiver
request from the Applicant for two loading spaces in the driveway on-site and two loading
spaces adjacent to the project off-site.
Mr. Greg Hilst, neighborhood resident, asked how the traffic count of 552 daily trips for
Crossridge Road was determined. He also asked if the Planning Commission decision could be
appealed to the City Council. Ms. Wilson stated that the traffic count, as provided by the Public
Works Department, was based on a calculation of 10 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) per 55 single-
family homes on Crossridge Road, plus 2 additional daily trips for the current daycare facility.
Ms. Wilson explained the appeal process.
Chair Schaub asked the Applicant if she would like to speak. The Applicant did not speak.
Hearing no further comments, Chair Schaub closed the public hearing.
Cm. Fasulkey expressed concerns with the potential increase in the noise levels and the vague
definition of a noise nuisance. He stated that the parking issue seems to be of substance and
that granting a waiver that allows public parking spaces to be counted as required loading
spaces seems to be contrary. He stated that he is tending towards opposing the project.
Cm. Biddle stated that he views Crossridge Road as a typical residential street. He stated that
he did not see potential parking problems with children being dropped-off and picked-up at
random, nor with having the driveway and curbsides accessible as loading spaces.
Cm. Fasulkey stated that it could be precedent setting if the loading/ unloading waiver allows
the public right-of-way for the exclusive use of a residence. Ms. Wilson stated that the intent of
the waiver is for the availability. She stated that curbside parking would not be reserved for the
Daycare. Ms. Jeri Ram, Community Development Director, stated that for similar projects in the
past, the City has approved projects with off-site loading areas, as well as denied projects where
parking would be strained.
Cm. Biddle stated that he did not view the street as a narrow. Chair Schaub asked about the
width of the sh'eet. Ms. Wilson stated that the street width is 32 feet, measuring curb to curb.
Chair Schaub asked how this measurement compares with most residential streets. Ms. Wilson
stated that sh'eet widths can range from 20 feet and up.

Cm. Fasulkey reiterated his concerns about the noise based on the acoustics of the hills in the
area.
Vice Chair Wehrenberg suggested adding to the Conditions of Approval a requirement for the
Applicant to advise perspective users of the designated loading zone and the neighborhood
speed limit. She stated that she would like to not only verify, but also maintain on file, valid
State licensing before approving the project.
Cm. King stated that although the letters submitted for the project discussed traffic congestion,
parking problems, and interference with residential driveways; he did not hear much verbal
testimony on those issues during the public hearing.
Cm. King asked if the State statute would override the findings the Planning Commission has to
make. Ms. Wilson stated that the Planning Commission has the local authority to make a
determination on the findings.
Cm. King stated that he is sympathetic to the belief that the traffic count should be based on
reality instead of formulas. Based on this, he does not know if there is too much traffic.
Cm. King stated that in view of the fact that noise is subjective, he is very impressed by the
testimony of the letters submitted for the project. He stated that although he appreciates the
State's and community's need for Daycare facilities, he questions whether the State statute was
intended for these types of projects to be approved if it creates a nuisance in the neighborhood.
He stated that he is not comfortable with approving the project if it is found to create a
nuisance. He stated that based on the evidence of the verbal and written testimony, this project
would create a noise nuisance. He stated that he is inclined to vote against the project.
Cm. Fasulkey asked about the number of parking spaces in front of the house. Mr. Moore
stated that the length of the curb in front of the house is 22 feet to the north of the home and 13
feet to the south. Chair Schaub asked about the average length of a car. Ms. Wilson stated that
the Code standard for on-site parking is 18 feet in length. Chair Schaub stated that 22 feet
would allow for one car to be parked in front of the house.
Cm. Biddle stated that a lot of what was discussed during this meeting is covered in the
Conditions of Approval. He pointed out Condition Nos. 3,4,8,24,25 and the Fire Conditions.
Chair Schaub acknowledged the need for daycare facilities. He stated that there are two
common goods with this project: 1) the need for daycares and 2) the common good of the
neighborhood. He stated that he is concerned about the negative impacts to parking due to the
requested loading waiver, and the potential increase to the noise level. He stated that the traffic
issues are typical to most residential streets. He further stated that the project is not compatible
with the area and that he would not support the project. .
Cm. King stated that in regards to the noise issue, the daily presence of children greatly differs
from random occurrences.

Chair Schaub, Commissioners Fasulkey and King found that the noise impacts would be

Chair Schaub and Commissioners Fasulkey found that the project's overflow parking/loading
specifically related to the two off-site loading spaces would negatively impact adjacent uses.
COilllnissioner King found that Condition No.4 is not sufficient enough to make the finding
that there would be no noise impacts.
Chair Schaub expressed safety concerns with simultaneous drop-otis and pick-ups.

Subject: Please Decline the Request for the 14 Child Daycare on Crossridge Road
Dear Mr. Moore,
We would also like to point out that not only are there too many cars in our neighborhood already, but
there are definitley not six extra parking spots on the street that are needed to accomodate such a large
Day Care Facility. Approving this Day Care Facility would be not only a mistake for our neighborhood
and the children living in it, but it would also be dangerous for the children being dropped off due to the
lack of parking available. We strongly urge you to decline the request to turn this Day Care Facility into
a large one. We find the size of it already too big and would be outraged if the facility was allowed to
increase in size.
Neighborhoods are made for families and children as a place to live - not for places of business. As we
mentioned in our previous email, we purchased our home in the neighborhood this past September for
the very reason that it is peaceful and quiet and is a great place to raise a family. The only reason
anyone would have to drive through our neighborhood cun-ently would be to go home or to visit a
friend. People should not be using our neighborhood as a place for a business. We appreciate your
taking our comments into consIderation a11d strongly urge you to decline this request.
Thank you again, Richard and Kathy Rantz

Subject: 14 Child Daycare on Crossridge
Dear Mr. Moore,
We live a few houses down from where the proposed daycare is to be. Unfortunately we are unable to
make the meeting tonight but I am very concerned over putting a large daycare in such a small and quiet
community. We have a lot of kids that play in our neighborhood and the extra traffic will make it much
more dangerous for them to play. This will also increase the amount of noise on our street as well .
(especially prior to 8am when the kids will be being dropped off in the morning). We already have a
problem with too many cars in our neighborhood and this will just increase that number. Weare against
having this daycare in our small and quiet community, that is why we chose to live here. Please deny
the request for this daycare. There are many places to run a daycare but this is not one of them. They
should rent a space in a more appropriate location. We have talked with several neighbors and they are
against it as well. Please feel free to write back if you have any questions.
,. Sincerely,

Dear City Hall"
I am writing this letter on behalf of Miss Dina' s Preschool
and Daycare. Apparently there have been complaints about
the traffic due to Ms. Dina"s schooL
I think. that an intricate part of a community is providing
quality schooling and care of children of parents vvho 'Work.
Ms. Dina provides that type of quality" a quality difficult to
find in today's society. Our son has been attending Ms.
Dina"s school novv for 9 months and vve have been
extremely pleased vvith her and her program., the quality of
education as vvell as the quality of nutrition in the food she
serves. She truly cares about the vvell being of the children
under her care.
The character of people vvho drop fueir children at Ms.
Dina" s school are professional" hard vvorking parents -w-ho
spend less than 15 minutes dropping and picking up their
children each day. Frankly I see more parked cars"
landscape trucks. plumbing trucks" insurance cars and
neighborhood owned vehicles parked in the neighborhood
for extended periods of time that congest the neighborhood
far more than the parents that temporarily drop their
children at schooL
I hope you vvill consider -w-hat I am. saying in revievving this
case. It vvould be a sham.e to lose this great level of
education in the community.
Sincerely"

Dear Mr. Moore,
I was at the August 8th Planning Commission meeting discussing Dina's Daycare. Since we were notified by a
concerned neighbor at the last minute, I didn't have" time to finish a letter opposing it as I wanted to.
I wanted to thank the Planning Commissioner who sat on the (our) far left (we couldn't see his name from
where we were sitting) with the salt and (mostly) pepper hair and beard. I was very glad he brought up the
point that the hills "catch" the sound and you can hear all sorts of noise that one would think is impossible.
Neither I nor anyone else thought about that pertinent fact at the time although we all know it from living
there. That comment could only be made by someone who lives in the area, not someone who makes one visit
at l1am on only one day, so I would like to thank him for mentioning that. I am also glad that three of the
commissioners realized that even the usually .pleasant noise of children playing can be a burdensome nuisance
if it is a constant, daily occurrence.
I also thought the meeting had a good balance and both sides were presented fairly. The chairman moved
:things along and kept issues on track so we weren't there till midnight. All in all It was a very informative Civic
experience. Could you please pass this along to the appropriate parties? Thank you.

importance: High
Dear Mr. Moore,
I am writing this letter on behalf of my husband, Denis and myself. My family and I have lived on Crossridge
Road since the development was new and we value our quiet community. We have two children who are now 14
and 9 years of age. Both my husband and I are in favor of home based businesses, as they help cut down on
traffic and pollution in our cities. We favor the home based business, as long as the business does not interfere
with the primary purpose of the neighborhood, which we believe is to set a stage where families can live and play
together without the interference of excess traffic or influences that detract from the the neighborhood
atmosphere.
Needless to say, we are 100% against any type of business opening in our neighborhood that would aliow.the
increase of traffic and noise to the extent that Dina's Day Care Center would. We live in a residential
neighborhood and want it to stay that way. We can only imagine that 14 children will be excessively noisy, the
automobile traffic for drop off and pickup will be tremendous and that the Day Care Center will most likely have to
employ one or two other people to help manage that number of children. We have noticed on Amador Valley that
there are several day care centers with signage. Is that what our street will turn into? I sincerely hope not.
We hope you will take our concerns into account.

To the City of Dublin:
This letter is in response to notice P A 06~029. This is to notify you that Sheila Brandes
and Larry Trumbo are AGAINST having a Large Family Daycare & Preschool at
7956 Crossridge Rd., Dublin, Ca. 94568.
Our home is adjacent to the proposed large daycare site at 7968 Crossridge Rd. and
shares a common front yard. We feel that if this is approved it would be detrimental to
our property value and to the Quality of life in our home.
The City of Dublin approved a small daycare center at 7956 Crossridge Rd., Dublin
without any notice to the residence of this area. The daycare has been operating for
approximately 6 months. During this time the noise alld traffic has increased. One can no
longer sit and read a book in ones backyard without hearing children crying and playing.
My backyard no longer is a place where you can go for a peaceful afternoon. Traffic has
increased. 'When parents drop off their children they often park the vl'rong way in the
street. We have been advised by a neighbor that after we leave in the morning cars park
in our driveway in order to drop their children off next door. They cannot pull into the
driveway at the daycare center because cars are always parked in their driveway.
If these problems are present now what will the quality of my life at my residence be like
when the number of children increases from 5-6 children to up to 14 children. Again we
are opposed to the City of Dublin issuing a conditional use permit for a large family
daycare (up to 14 children).
Please see attached concerns and questions.
Thank you,

Do they have to have 15 hrs? of training such as CPR, first aid, etc. Do they
have this?
iii
Do they need 1 prior year of child cafe experience as a licensed family care
provider or administrator of a center? Do they have this?
Buyers Awareness report feceived when home purchased in 1988 states that
Ridgecreek is zoned for single family residential.

Subject: Dinas day care
importance: High
Dear Mr Moore,
I am writing concerning the possible opening of Dinas Daycare. While I am sure Dina would provide a wonderful
place for kids, I am concerned about the size of the daycare and the problems it would bring to those of us living
on Crossridge road. A 14 person day care would surely bring many additional cars, traffic and danger to the
current residents. Current parking on the cul-de-sac is a challenge and the addition of cars dropping off and
picking up will take space from current residents. In addition, the specific draw to buying here, was the
opportunity to live on a quiet cul-de-sac, where our children were able to play with much less worry of traffic.
There are numerous small children on the street, especially in the summer and the additional traffic is surely a
danger to them. A daycare of this size should not be located in a residential area on a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac
with children routinely playing in the front yards and street, not to m.ention the current parking problem.

Dear Mr. Moore,
I am sending this email in response to a notice I received in regards to the possibility of a 14 child
daycare center operating in my neighborhood.
Although I do not live directly next to 7956 Crossridge Rd, I am strongly against the idea of a large
family daycare center. Besides the obvious noise, increased traffic and decreased home values, what
about the privacy of the neighbors directly next door and across the street? -
I frequently walk by that residence during the day. I've been aware of childcare being conducted
there because I can hear the children in the backyard. This is a residential neighborhood, not a business
district. 14 children is excessive in that size home.
I am truly grateful that I can afford to live in this small, peaceful neighborhood. Please don't add more
vehicle traffic and noisy children.
Sincerely,
Michele Flores

We live at 7713 Crossridge Road in Dublin and are vehemently opposed to
Miss Dina' s Daycare & Preschool permit application.
We have saved for years to be able to afford a nice home in a nice
neighborhood. Approving and opening a Day Care center in our
neighborhood de-values our investment and makes reselling an even more
challenge.
It is also going to bring more traffic to the neighborhood and be
disruptive to the ambience we have created here.
As residents of this address for the past 15 years, it is abhorrent to
consider that a business would open up in our neighborhood. Where would
it stop?
We request that we would be kept appraised of this situation.

importance: High
Hi Bryan,
We are writing as a concerned neighbor about the city council allowing a 14 child daycare center to operate on
Crossridge Road. We find this to be appalling that the city council would even consider this daycare center to
establish itself on our quiet and peaceful street. This would cause an enormous amount of unwanted traffic on
our street and increased noise and also could be dangerous to our children with all the increased cars. A daycare
center of this size is better suited for a location that actually has and operates other businesses NOT a residential
area. There are plenty of other locations were a daycare center of this size may be better suited, such as an
office space down the street on Sierra Court or as part of some of the new developments that are going in around
Dublin. Please take our concerns into consideration and do not grant Dina's Daycare Center to operate in our
neighborhood, Thank you for taking all of our concerns into account, please feel free to contact us with any
questions. Thank you.

Subject: Proposed Daycare Expansion on Crossridge Road
Dear WIT Moore:
My husband and I reside at 7900 Crossridge Road, which is 5 houses from Dina and Yakov
Yaroshevskiy's home. We object to the expansion of their child care business for these reasons:
1. Traffic. Crossridge Road is a narrow street with many cars parked along it. The additional traffic in
the morning and afternoon will be a nuisance to the homeowners and their children trying to travel to
and from work and school.
2. Parking. With up to 14 children, they will require an employee. There is the possiblility of 14 parents
dropping off and picking kids up at the same time. Parking on Crossridge Road is already a challenge
for families with multiple drivers. There is no extra room to park.
3. Noise. I work from home in an upstairs office. The al110unt of noise generated by just the 8 children
there now will be nearly doubled.
4. Property values. While we do not have intentions of selling any time soon, we are concerned that the
other issues stated would be objectionable to any intersted buyer. One of the selling points that
Crossridge Road has to offer is the quiet neighborhood.
Thank you for allowing us to voice our objection to this business.
Best regards,
Mary P all 0 tti

Subject: PA-06-029 Miss Dina's Day-care & Preschool
Mr. Moore,
I am writing to you about the request to operate a Large Family Day-care at Miss Dina's Day-care and Preschool
at 7976 Crossridge Road. I regrettably will not be able to attend the planning commissions meeting on August 8,
but would like to voice my concern. I live directly across the street at 7957 Crossridge Road and have been
directly impacted by the current day-care operations. I have lived in my home for just over 2 years and since the
current day care has opened, I have seen an increase in traffic and parking problems around my property. I
understand that I cannot control people parking in front of my home on the curb, but it has gotten to the point were
cars now are constantly parking between my neighbors and mine driveway entrances. The two driveways are
separated only by a mailbox and is not large enough for a vehicle to park. Cars continuously overhang across the
driveway entrances by 2 to 3 feet blocking my ability to put both of my vehicles in my driveway. While this is an
annoyance, it is not as inconvenient as when people park directly in front of my driveway or in my driveway as
they drop off/pick up their children. My only though as to why this is taking place, is due to the lack of available
parking on the street and a lack of any other side streets in our neighbor hood to park on, so they park in front of
,my driveway and on occasion, directly in my driveway. Also, living directly across the street, my driveway has
been used as a turnaround for cars after they drop off or pick up their children.
WillowCreek is the only entrance into our neighborhood. Willow Creek ends at Shady CreeklCrossridge. Shady
Creek and Crossridge form a large circle that starts and ends at Willow Creek. Their are no side or cross streets
on Crossridge to absorb the increase in traffic and parking. Since their is not another way to get out or into the
'neighbor hood other than Willow Creek, we do not get traffic other than residents, since you cannot get anywhere
else on Crossridge or Shady Creek. Since their Is no outiet on the street, it is not a large street and every little
'addition of cars is noticeable.
I appreciate you time in reading my concerns and hope that you will make a fair and reasonable decision.

Subject: *** SPAM *** 14-Child Day Care Center
importance: Low
Dear Sir:
As a resident of Crossridge Road in Dublin, I want to state my opposition to the proposed Day Care
Center.
First, this business proposal is in conflict with the CC and Rs recorded in Alameda County, 25 March
1987 for Alamo Creek VI. '
Para. 4.10 states: "No business of any kind shall be established, maintained, operated, permitted or
conducted in any portion of the Project except the business of the Declarant in completing the
development. . . ." It would appear that the proposed day care unit is a business and therefore in
violation of the CC & Rs. Also, per para. 8.2, the terms of the CC & Rs are "in effect for. . . 50 years
:6:'0111 the date of recordation."
Second, as.a long time resident ofthis neighboorhood I am concemed about the impact of this business
on propeliy values. I personally would never buy a home next to or anywhere near a 14-child Day Care
Center.
Third, one of the big re-sale factors I continue to heal" over the years is the quiet neighborhood we all
enjoy, with minimal traffic in the Project. Adding a business of any type to our Project is going to
impact that intangible quality of noise levels and traffic in a negative manner.
Please do not allDfove this day care application.

Dear Mr. Moore,
Please let this letter be notice of my disapproval of the proposed Dina's Day Care, (or any other day
care) in our neighborhood. The Alal110 Creek Development was intended to be a peaceful residence, not
a business area. I understand that this home is already being used for day care for up to six children. The
additional traffic has already caused concerns for the neighbors. Traffic has already increased. Parking is
already a problem for us on Crossridge Rd. The increased parking and traffic that would come with this
daycare is certainly unwanted.
I appreciate the need for day care services in the City of Dublin, however, I believe residential
neighborhoods are not the ideal location. There are many commercial spaces available in business or
downtown areas. .
I urge you to NOT approve this or any other day care facility of this kind in our neighborhood.

Mr. Moore,
I live at 7812 Shady Creek Rd. which is just down the street from the proposed daycare & preschool @
7956 Crossridge Rd. I am opposed to the City providing a permit for this type of operation because of
the negative impact this will have on the neighborhood. Property values will negatively impact potential
sellers in the area and I believe potential home buyers will also shy away from the area due to the
increase in traffic and noise that would result from allowing a daycare & preschool of this size to

really don't feel that a daycare & preschool at the above mentioned address would be a good fit for this

Subject: PA 06-029 CUP for Large Family Daycare
Dear Bryan,
Purpose of my note is to express my disapproval on the proposed CUP for a Large Family Daycare at
7956 Crossridge Road. As an eight year resident of Willow Creek, I am opposed to the development of
a commerical enterprise in this neighborhood. This is simply not a case of "NIMBY". I al11 basing my
opposition on two primary factors:
1. Precedent - As you know, Willow Creek is designated as R-l by the City's own Zoning Districts &
Mapping. Though there is a CUP for Large Family Daycare, it concerns me that the introduction of
such a commercial enterprise would negatively impact not only Willow Creek, but any other subdivision
within the city. Specifically, the CUP petition would contradict - from the Residential Zoning Districts
_ 8.20.010 P.A "minimize traffic congestion...1t alld 8.20.010 P.Fl "Retain the scale and character of...It.
I am aware of several neighbors (including myself) who are self-employed and work principally from
home. However, it is transparent to the neighborhood as there arelis no commercial signage that is
visable. I would presume that signage would be a potential element to the business enterprise.
2. Net Benefit - In analyzing this proposition - or any other, I have to ask myself who benefits most?
Tnere may be a potential benefit to some parents in Willow Creek seeking this type of service. I would
also presume that the burgeoning business would also market to communities outside of this
subdivision, In my estimation, I feel that the business/title owners would retain the greatest net benefits
from the enterprise - while the neighborhood, in general, would share the net deficiencies in the form of
added traffic, impact on parking at least twice a day and a potential erosion in home values.
Thank you for your consideration and the opP0l1unity to share my views on this matter. Please contact
me should you have any questions.

RE: P A 06-029 Miss Dina's Daycare & Preschool- Conditional Use Permit for a Large
Family Daycare (up to 14 children)
, Dear PlromIDg Commission,
As a neighbor of Dina & Yakov Yaroshevskiy, I can tell you they are very nice people
and I have had the opportunity to see the daycare facility they currently have. I
appreciated the opportunity to see the facility and they were very forthcoming about
planning a daycare facility in their home.
However, I an1 concerned that increasing the number of children will cause disruptions in
our community regarding noise level and safety when parents are dropping off and
picking up children. Vie live diagonal and across the street from the day care. As a parent
of a 5 Y2 year old little boy who loves to play in the front yard (under my supervision), I
find myself frustrated by the lack of respect some of the parents have in where they park
(opposite side of street, driveways, etc.) and how fast they drive. I am concerned that if
more children are at the day care my son's safety may be compromised.
Thank you f~r your time and consideration,

RESOLUTION NO. 06-
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW MISS DINA'S
DAYCARE TO OPERATE A LARGE FAMILY DAYCARE HOME
AT 7956 CROSSRIDGE ROAD. (APN 941-2784-034)
PA 06-029
WHEREAS, the Applicant, Dina Yaroshevskaya, has requested approval of a Conditional Use
Permit for the operation of a Large Family Daycare Home, known as Miss Dina's Daycare, located at
7956 Crossridge Road; and
WHEREAS, a Large Family Day Care Home, which serves between nine (9) and fourteen (14)
children, is permitted in a residential zoning district with approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the
Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planned Development (P A 85-041) states that except as specifically modified by
the design criteria or Conditionals of Approval of said PD, the property will be subject to the guidelines of
the R-1 Single Family Residential District; and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the prOVIsIOns of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the project is Statutorily Exempt per Section 15274;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on August 8,
2006; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said plJ-blic hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be conditionally
approved; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations
and testimony herein above set forth and used its independent judgment to evaluate the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
find that:
A. The proposed operation of the Large Family Daycare Home is compatible with other land
uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity because: 1) the Daycare complies with
State laws that require the primary use of the site to be a single family residential use with the
Daycare as an accessory use; and 2) as conditioned, the noise and traffic impacts will be
minimized by restrictions on the hours of operation and the low number of vehicle trips that may
be generated by the project.
Attachment 1
(Q ~ Un 1"2-~
B. The use 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 because: 1) the proposed Large
Family Daycare will comply with all City of Dublin and State regulations; 2) the Large Family
Daycare will be located in an existing site; and 3) the use is compatible with the neighborhood; 4)
as conditioned, the Daycare will be a licensed daycare facility; and 5) as conditioned, the children
shall remain either inside the home or in the backyard for pickup by their parent or guardian.
C. The use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because: 1)
as conditioned, noise and traffic impacts will be minimized by the Conditions of Approval which
establish limits on the number of children enrolled and the hours of operation; 2) signage which
advertises the Daycare is prohibited by Section 8.64.030.Q of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance; and
3) parking and traffic will not be impeded in the vicinity as a result of the use, due to the drop-off
and pick-up times ofthe children being staggered throughout the morning and evening.
D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, and welfare because the proposed Large Family Daycare is located in an
existing residential dwelling.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being
proposed because: 1) the Large Fal11ily Daycare will be located on an existing site; 2) the site is
bordered by Single Family Residential homes on two sides and Open Space to the rear of the
property; and 3) the Daycare complies with State laws that require the primary use of the site to be
a single family residential use with the daycare as an accessory use.
F. The Large Family Daycare Home is not contrary to the specific intent clauses, development
regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is located
because: 1) Section 8.12.050 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits a Large Family Daycare in
all residential zoning districts with a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning
Commission; 2) the Planned Development Zoning District (FA 85-041) in which the subject
property is located states that the property is subject to the requirements of the R-1 Single Family
Residential Zoning District; 3) Section 8.76.080.B of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance requires a total
of two (2) parking spaces and four (4) loading spaces for the subject property to support the
dwelling unit and the Large Family Daycare, based on the requirement that the dwelling unit have
two (2) parking spaces plus one loading stall per every four children served by the facility; 4) as
conditioned, the Applicant will be required to keep the garage clear and to park two vehicles inside
of the garage during the Daycare hours of operation; 5) as conditioned, the driveway will be
required to be kept clean and free of the property owners cars in order to provide two loading
spaces for parents and guardians of the children in the Daycare; 6) as conditioned, a total of two
parking spaces and two loading spaces will be provided which results in a deficit of two loading
spaces; 7) Section 8.76.050.E of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits a reduction in the required
number of parking spaces when the required finding can be met; 8) the requested parking
reduction has been determined to be warranted based on the available parking and loading spaces
on Crossridge Road; 9) the parking reduction is also further warranted because the spaces will only
be required during pick-up and drop-off times which are staggered throughout the day; 10) as
conditioned, impacts are further reduced by the limited hours of operation; and 11) the use of child
daycare equipment in the backyard does not require a permit and is consistent with other daycares
in the City of Dublin.
2
i \4 t7i r/\'\
G,t/ 0
G. The Large Family Daycare is consistent with the Dublin General Plan because: 1) the
proposed use is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit and meets the intentions of the zoning
district in which it is located; and 2) as conditioned, the Large Family Daycare will operate in such
a manner as to limit impacts on the surrounding properties.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby conditionally
approve a parking and loading reduction of two (2) off-street loading spaces because: 1) the staggered
drop-off and pick-up times typical of a Fal11ily Day Care Home will reduce parking and loading demand;
and 2) the number of on-street parking spaces available in front of the property will be able to compensate
for the space. The Zoning Ordinance parking requirements are, therefore, excessive in this case, and
overflow parking will not adversely impact adjacent uses.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby conditionally
approve P A 06-029, a Conditional Use Permit application to operate a Large Family Daycare Home, as
generally depicted by the Site Plan and Floor Plan received by the Planning Department on June 16,2006,
and a Written Statement received by the Planning Department on August 3, 2006, stamped approved and
on file with the Dublin Planning Division, subject to the conditions below.
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 (having more than 8 children in the Daycare Home), and shall be
subject to review and approval by the City of Dublin. The following codes represent those

The City of Dublin's child care industry
provides a social and economic infrastructure
that is critical to the City's overall economic
vitality and quality of life. In 2001, the industry
generated over $10.8 million in revenue, while
supporting approximately 400 local jobs. In
addition to 233 people employed directly in child
care homes and centers, an additional 170 jobs (in
construction, retail, manufacturing, ete.) are supported
by the existence of the local child care industry.' These
jobs bolster the local tax base, while providing a necessary
service that enables other Dublin businesses to thrive.
In addition, child care helps sustain the City's growing
workforce by enabling parents to take new jobs, stay in
existing jobs or training programs, or return to work after
an absence.
Dublin's job market is estimated to grow by 30% by the year
2010, while its population will increase by 58%, more than any
other city. To meet the demands of its escalating development,
public and private investments are needed to sustain and grow
Dublin's child care industry.

Child care workers are more highly educated on average
than workers in other industries, yet their salaries fail to
reflect their level of education or responsibility,2
This graph compares "high" child care wages in the eastern
region of the county to other Alameda County occupations.
The latter are mid-level wages based on "some experience"
and/or "new to the firm." (Occupational Outlook, 2001,
www.calm is. cahwnet.gov).
Teacher salary information is from 2000-2001 California

Preschool (2-5 years)' $7,079 9% $7,843 9%
School-Age (6-13 years)' $5,218 6% $5,115 6%
These costs are for one child. The consensus among
experts is that 10% of a family's household income
is the most families can" afford. "6
In Alameda County, the cost to send a preschooler
to full-time, center based care is nearly double the
cost of tuition for two semesters at the University
of California, Berkeley. For an infant, the annual
cost of full-time, center based care is almost three
times the cost of tuition.'
For most age groups, demand for child care in Dublin is greater
than supply. The city has a total of 1,726 licensed child care
spaces, with shortages in infant and school age care.
. Demand Estimates: Determining the true demand for child
care is difficult because it is often unclear whether parents'
choices reflect their true preferences or result from location
and cost constraints. Therefore, these charts illustrate the
gaps in Dublin's child care supply by age group using two
methodologies:
· Best Case: This conservative estimate calculates demand
based upon statewide utilization patterns for

· Worse Case: This broad estimate assumes that all families

City of Dublin Child Care Profile
Families and Children
Based on the 2000 U.S. Census, Dublin had approximately 4,700 children aged bilih to 12 years old,
accounting for just under 16 percent of the city's total population. Dublin has a significantly higher
propOliion of White children than the county overall. Eighty-four percent of children ages five through
17 speak English at home, compared to 63 percent county-wide. Only two percent of children live below
the poveliy level, significantly less than nine percent county-wide.
Dublin children under six years old are more likely to have parents in the workforce than county overall.
Approximately 59 percent of Dublin children under six are in households headed by two working parents
or a working single parent compared to 55 percent county-wide.
Child Care Demand and Supply
Child care demand in Dublin is similar to that of the county. Dublin families with children aged two to
four years are slightly more likely to demand family child or center-based care than county-wide.
Approximately 54 percent of children two to four demand center-based or family child care which is
similar to the 52 percent county-wide. Sixty
percent of the city's child care supply is for
preschool-aged children, resulting in a surplus of
over 250 slots. Conversely, Dublin has a
moderate gap in supply of child care for infants
and toddlers as well as school-aged children.

Special Populations
Similar to the county as a whole, just over seven
percent of school-age children residing in Dublin
Unified School District are enrolled in special
education. Only ten percent of school-age
children are English Learners (EL), meaning that
their family speaks a primary language other than English at home, and they are not yet considered to
have the requisite English skills to succeed in the school's regular instructional programs. This is
considerably lower than the county-wide EL rate of 27 percent.

Dear Dublin City Council and Mayor Lockhart,
t
rr'
I .'
t\
We are writing to express our adamant opposition to the enlargement of Dina's Day Care Center. We were at the
Planning Commission meeting in August and only one of the mothers who spoke was from Dublin. Dublin has
more day care centers than San Ramon, Livermore and Danville. Again, why is the mayor so concerned about
meeting the needs of other cities? (e.g. as in opening the Alamo Creek path to San Ramon increasing the con-
gestion and problems in our area) Maybe she should run for the mayor of one of those cities since she consis-
tently ignores the needs and wants of her own constituents. I would like to have a mayor and city council who
considers the wishes of their own residents and what is good for the majority (over 50 neighbors as opposed to a
few families, many of whom don't even live here).
I\1ost households in our neighborhood have at least two cars. This means that excess cars must park in drive-
ways or on the street. Already, there are too many cars driving over the speed limit at busy times of the day. So
where are these extra cars for the daycare going to park? I don't believe it when Dina says her driveway can
accommodate all the in and out traffic. How are you planning on monitoring that? Or are you just taking her
word? Someone who has already shown disregard for the CC&Rs that keep the quality oflife in our neighbor-
hood peaceful, safe and pleasant. Plus, there will be 28 more people driving up the street at the same time of
day, sometimes in a hurry, backing out of the driveway on an already dangerous corner. This is for our good?
In addition, how many of us would like to live in close proximity to a Day Care Center? Fourteen children right
next door eve7Y day. How about volunteering your house? What? No takers? Next question: How many of you
would like to see the value of your house devalued by thousands of dollars? When we bought our house three
years ago we paid top dollar to be in an established, less-traveled, neighborhood next to two regional parks in
a quiet location. Now with the opening of the Alamo Creek path and the potential of a day care center opening,
we stand to lose thousands of dollars of our investment due to increased auto, pedestrian traffic and noise. We
would have never bought this house or paid what we paid if those conditions existed at the time we bought it.
As I'm sure you read in the Valley Times recently, sales of homes in Dublin are now down 41 %. Houses sit
unsold for much longer than in previous years. How would a day care center make our house competitive with
similar houses in other areas of Dublin? My understanding is that one can't even convert their garage to a living
space in Dublin so I fail to understand allowing a day care center to operate.
With all the new building, development and available office space in Dublin, why must we expand an already
(unwanted) busy day care center in a well-established, quiet neighborhood for the needs of a few? I think your
so-called vision for Dublin is very myopic and not taking in to account the quality oflife here which Mayor
Lockhart expresses so much supposed concern about. Nice line on your resumes but not much "quality of life"
as I see it.
Please, listen to the majority of Alamo Creek neighbors and not permit Dina's Day Care to be enlarged ih our
neighborhood. Thank you.

RE: Dublin Planning Commission Decision PA-06-029
Ms. Dina's Daycare Preschool Conditional Use Permit for a large Family Day,
(up to 14 Children~.
I am very much against having a Day Care of this size in our neighborhood.
I have been on both sides of the fence, I open the Day Care Center at 7197 Amador
Valley Blvd. here in Dublin in 1992. At that time I had a choice of purchasing one of the
two homes that were up for sale. The other home was further down into the neighborhood
which I thought would be a poor choice so I choose 7197 Amador Valley Blvd., because
it was almost adjacent to a shopping center, the first house on the street which I felt it
would be less disturbing to the neighborhood.
Also Amador Valley Blvd. is a heavy traveled street therefore the traffic would not
matter, but to have a Day Care Center in this area would be disruptive to the area and
bring more traffic. Shady Creek is a small street and we don't need any more traffic on it.
The way this area is built, it is secluded, you only come in if you live here are you are
visiting otherwise there is no traffic, also the fact it is one way in and one way out tells
you it is inclusive no businesses are allowed. It will also bring down property values.
Please reconsider and DO NOT approve this Day Care Center of this size, six (6)
children are enough.
Respectfully,
/J .

Comments or Concerns
What is your comment or concern? (Please include all information necessary for proper
response.) I am opposed to increasing the day care permit from 6 to 12. Our Quality of
life has already suffered with increased traffic with only 6 children. Making a left turn
onto Shady creek is difficult enough because of the angle with the normal traffic.
My wife and I moved from the corner of Dutton and Woodland in San Leandro, one of the
main attractions to our location was a quiet neighborhood with little traffic.
Please don't let the mayor change your vote. With all due respect she can support one
on her block right next door to where she lives.

Re: Dublin Planning Commission Decision, PA 006-029 Miss Dina's Daycare Preschool Conditional Use Permit
for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 people)
To whom it may concern,
I am a resident of the Willow Creek Development, and I am not in favor of Miss Dina's Daycare (at the present
state) and their request to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children).
I do not believe that such a Business in our neighborhood is appropriate. The additional traffic, (and all of it's
safety concerns) the potential it will have on home values, and noise and nuisance it will generate will create
neighbor issues. One of the reasons we purchased our home in this development is that there were provisions to
keep businesses like this out of the neighborhood.
I do understand the need for such businesses, but they should be located in areas where they work best, I do not
believe that place is in a residential neighborhood with the facilities to handle that many children. I don't believe
that this location provides the children the environment necessary for children to receive the best "day care" or
learning environment.

Bill Foxworthy

RE:
Miss Dina's Preschool Conditional Use Permit for a Large
Family Daycare (up to 14 children),
Mayor Janet Lockhart's appeal.
Dear Members of the Dublin City Council,
First of all, I am not against Miss Dina's (small family) Day Care. In fact I
support it. I am against the fact the Mayor of Dublin felt the need to appeal the
decision of the Planning Commission, PA 06..Q29, of August 8,2006. Her presumption
was that not allowing a Large Family Day care (9-14) at the Yaroshevskiy's residence
will have a significant and material effect on the quality of life within the City of Dublin.
Whose life? The folks who live in the neighborhood of Crossridge Rd. will be effected
by the fact that up to 14 more vehicles will be driving up and down Crossridge Rd., two
times a day, five days a week. This will cause traffic problems with day care parents
double parking and parking in neighbors driveways while "just dropping off or picking
up" their children. This is also a safety concern. There is only one way in and out of
Crossridge Rd. In case of an emergency, the extra cars and people might pose a
hazard for any emergency vehicles that would need to get through to their destination.
The hill behind 7956 Crossridge Rd is covered by dry grasses at least half of the year,
and even though maintained, is a fire concern. Other negative aspects of a large day
care include decreased property values and increased noise. We moved to
Crossridge Road because it is a quiet residential neighborhood. We would not have
moved here if there was a large day care center on our street.
We have been residents of Dublin for over 10 years. Our two children
went to Shannon Preschool and Resurrection Lutheran Preschool. R.L.P. had
children coming from San Ramon and Pleasanton as well as from Dublin. Both are
outstanding and affordable preschools I day cares. In Dublin alone there are over
twenty Child Care Centers, fifteen are named as preschools. In our neighboring
communities of San Ramon and Pleasanton there are over fifty of these child care
facilities. (Tri-Valley phone book).
In closing, our greatest concern is that our mayor is listening to one voice
over the many voices who oppose this expansion. These houses were not built to be
day care centers.
Thank you for your concern.

Dear Mayor,
It is our understanding in regards to Miss Dina's Daycare Appeal
that Dina did not file the appeal herself but you filed the appeal. As
mayor you filed the appeal on behalf of the City of Dublin because you felt
that not having this daycare center would have an adverse effect on the City
of Dublin. If in fact you are appealing for the City of Dublin and
representing Miss Dina's Daycare Center we consider this to be a conflict of interest.
We request that you withdraw your appeal and let Dina and Yakov appeal for
themselves. If you choose not to withdraw we respectfully request that you
abstain from voting on this appeal at the upcoming meeting as you have already
shown that you are biased.
Thank you,

RE: Dublin Planning Commission Decision, P A 06-029
Miss Dina's Daycare Preschool Conditional Use Permit for a
Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children)
Dear Ms. Ram,
This letter is pertaining to the decision to appeal the Dublin Planning Commision
decision to not allow Miss Dina's Daycare Preschool conditional use permit for a Large
Family Daycare. This daycare center is my next door neighbor and has been
nothing less than a complete nuisance since it started eight months ago.
We object to the Mayor appealing the decision of the planning commission and to her
personal involvement with Dina and her husband. A registed letter was sent to the Mayor
requesting that she abstain from voting on this issue at the Council meeting on Sept. 5th
since she obviously has a biased opinion already in regards to this matter.
.
In the Mayors appeal she states that the decision to decline the daycare center will effect
and "have a significant and material effect on the quality of life within the City of
Dublin". Which part of the City is she speaking of. The daycare center will affect the
quality of life of the neighbors on Crossridge Road. It will add traffic, noise, and decrease
our property values. Children are dropped off by parents in a hurry often parking the
wrong way. During the day there are crying children throughout the day that can be
heard next door. As a registered nurse it has only been recently that I work days instead
of nights. In the past I had to sleep during the day and if this day care was in operation
several years ago I would not have been able to sleep during the day.
We understand all to well that daycare centers are needed by working mothers/fathers but
they are better suited in a business area such as Sierra Court and not in a quiet residential
neighborhood. I urge you to do what you can to stop this Large daycare center on
Crossridge Rd.
Sincerely'?( ,

Re: Miss Dina's Daycare and Preschool
DUBLIN PLANNINb
Madam Mayor and Council Members:
We reside five houses away from the proposed Daycare expansion. We have already
voiced our opposition to the Conditional Use Permit to the Planning Commission on the
basis of additional noise and traffic, as well as the lack of parking on Crossridge Road.
We still have those concerns and now have additional questions:
The formula used to determine the average number of car trips daily is
inadequate. Is it possible to study actual car trips to prove the negative impact on
the neighborhood?
The applicant stated at the Planning Commission meeting that the ages of the
children she cares for are between one and five years, and that the additional
children will be in this same age group. Her husband's email of August 3 to Brian
Moore states that the children will be from six months to twelve years. Does the
difference in ages require her to employ additional caretakers? If so, where will
they park?
The applicant was quoted in the 8/30/06 Valley Times stating they planned to use
the garage for parking and free up the driveway for loading. Since there are four
adults living in the home and four vehicles there, how does this free up the
driveway? They are still required by law to have one off street loading space for
every four children.
Of the four people in favor of this expansion, only one lives in the neighborhood. The
others live in East Dublin., Pleasanton and Danville. Therefore, they cannot reliably
judge traffic, parking and noise issues on Crossridge Road. This business is clearly
benefiting the applicant and residents of surrounding communities. The Mayor's
statement that the denial of this permit will be presumed to have a significant and
material effect on the quality of life within the City of Dublin is puzzling. The quality
of life in the Willow Creek development is exactly what we are trying to preserve by
asking for the denial of this permit.

Comments or Concerns
What is your comment or concern?
(Please include all information
necessary for proper response.)
I am opposed to increasing the day care permit from 6
to 12. Our Quality of life has already suffered with
increased traffic with only 6 children. Making a left turn
onto Shady creek is difficult enough because of the
angle with the normal traffic. My wife and I moved from
the corner of Dutton and Woodland in San Leandro,
one of the main attractions to our location was a quiet
neighborhood with little traffic. Please don.t let the
mayor change your vote. With all due respect she can
support one on her block right next door to where she
lives. Thanks Joseph Banchero

Increase in traffic
and Safety of children living on Crossridge
· Safety issue for children that live
in the neighborhood.
· Children play in the street. Ride
their bikes and run across the
street.
· Parents bought their home in our
neighborhood so that their
children could do this.
· This is not Amador Blvd. where
children do not play in the street.
· As a property owner and tax payer
of Dublin for over 18 yrs. I feel
the quality of my life should be
taken into consideration before
children who come into our
neighborhood for childcare.

Parking Problems
· Four cars in Residence already. 2
in driveway and 2 on the street.
· Garage presently not available for
parking
· Dublin Zoning Ordinance states
that the applicant would be
required to provide 2 parking
spaces and four loading spaces.
· Presently the garage is not
available.
· Where will home owners park their
cars?
· Monday is when the garbage is
collected. Further reduction in
parking with three garbage cans
per dwelling.

Nuisance
· Noise: Children play, fight, and cry.
This is what children do. This will be
going on five days a week for as long
as I live in my house.
· I have worked for the past 18 yrs. In
order to live in my house and hopefully
soon be able to retire and enjoy my
home and backyard in peace and
quiet. The Mayor and the City of
Dublin is attempting to take this away
from me. I thoroughly resent that
there is no respect for me and my
quality of life. Several years ago I
worked nites in the emergency room
and if this had happened then I would
not have been able to sleep during the
day.
· The children's outdoor play area is
right below my bedroom window.
~
\~

~
~
Decrease in property value
· Will be difficult to sale my
house with a large daycare
center next door, if able to sale
will most likely be at a reduced
price when compared to
comparable houses in the
neighborhood.
· Will have to disclose to buyer
that daycare is next door.
· Mayor and City Council
members would you approve
this daycare if it was next to
your house?
· Would you buy a house that
had a daycare next door to it
within approximately 15feet?
These are small backyards,

RE: Dublin Planning Commission Decision, P A 06-029
Miss Dina's Daycare Preschool Conditional Use Permit for a Large
Family Daycare (up to 14 children)
I wish to appeal the action of the Dublin Planning Commission of August 8,
2006, in the matter of the Miss Dina's Daycare Preschool Conditional Use
Permit.
My reason for the appeal is the presumption that the action of the Dublin
Planning CommissIon will have a significant and material effect on the
quality of life within the City of Dublin.
