RESOLUTION NO. 06 - 35
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.62
(HISTORIC OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW) OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE TO REMOVE REFERENCE TO THE "DUBLIN VILLAGE HISTORIC
AREA DESIGN GUIDELINES", REPLACE WITH REFERENCE TO THE "DUBLIN VILLAGE
HISTORIC AREA SPECIFIC PLAN," AND RESCIND THE DUBLIN VILLAGE DESIGN
GUIDELINES PA (02-074)
WHEREAS, on January 21, 2005 the City Council simultaneously adopted the Dublin Village
Design Guidelines, created an Overlay Zoning District, and adopted a new section of the Zoning
Ordinance: Section 8.62 (Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review), which was
developed to guide the implementation of the Design Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, on August 1, 2006, when the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan was
adopted by the City Council, the Design Guidelines were incorporated into the Specific Plan document as
Section 7; and
WHEREAS, the intent is to have all of the guidelines, regulations, and requirements pertaining to
the Historic Area in one place. Now that the Design Guidelines have been incorporated into the Specific
Plan, the Zoning Ordinance Chapter 8.62 (Historic Overlay Zoning District Site Development Review),
which refers to the Design Guidelines as a separate and distinct document, needs to be revised; and
WHEREAS, the exact text amendments are shown in Exhibit A attached to this Resolution, but
can be summarized by stating that all references in Section 8.62 to the "Dublin Village Design
Guidelines" have been replaced with "Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, the project was found to be Exempt from CEQA, according to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15061(b)(3) because it could be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed
amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) may have a significant effect on the
environment; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission
recommend City Council approval of the amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance);
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use its independent judgment and consider
all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and
made a part of this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby recommend
that the City Council find that the proposed amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning
Ordinance) do not represent changes that may have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA,
Section 15061 (b)(3)); that the amendments are consistent with the General Plan and all applicable
Specific Plans; and, recommends that the City Council amend Chapter 8.62 of the Dublin Municipal Code
(Zoning Ordinance) as shown in attached Exhibit A (incorporated herein by reference).
