WINNING ACTION INVESTMENTS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, C-3973
Application for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. to allow operation of a service station
for diesel fuel and weigh station in a "PD" (Planned Development - Light Industrial
&. General Commercial Uses) District, located at 6117 Dougherty Road, east side, 600'
south of the intersection with Palm Avenue, Dublin, Assessor's No. 941-550-4.
PERTINENT FACTS:
History: The site and area were rezoned from Agricultural to M-I by the 447th Zoning
Unit in 1962. Since that time there have been numerous rezonings from M-I to C-2
in the general area. Two lots to the south were rezoned from M-I to a specialized PD
which allowed both M-I and C-2 uses on the same site (J352nd and 1359th Zoning Units).
November 4, 1979, the subject property rezoned from the M-I (Light Industrial
District) to the PD (Planned Development District) restricting use of the property
to uses allowed by the M-I and C-2 (General Commercial Districts).
Size of Parcel: 4.8 acre parcel.
Physical Features: The site is deep and narrow with 181' average width and 1200' average
depth. It is developed with a trucking company. A small office is located near the
frontage and a warehouse is near the center. The remainder of the 4.8 acre parcel
is level and graded and has been used for truck storage.
Adjacent Area; The area is increasingly developed with commercial and service uses,
rather than the industrial uses originally planned. Adjacent to the north is a large 8
acre parcel used for industrial truss manufacture and storage. To the south is a tire
business and garage on a small lot zoned M-I. Next to the south are large vacant parcels
comprising 16 acres zoned PD 9C-2 and M-J). Across Dougherty Road is a bowling alley,
mini-warehouse business, and a multiple tenant commercial building.
General Plan Deshr;nation: The area is at the boundary between Major Commercial to
the south and west and Intensive Industrial to the east. The Livermore Amador Plan
reflects the similar function of commercial and industrial uses in strengthening the
local economy, providing tax base and reducing the need for commuting out of the area.
The principal distinction is that industrial uses should be located on large tracts of
land protected from incompatible uses.
Environmental Impact: Categorically exempt, class 5.
