APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Section 8-51.3 states that other uses found by the Planning
Commission to meet the intent of the district and the requirements of
Section 8-51.8, Performance Standards in the M-1 District, such as
automobile auctions, may be approved as conditional uses.
City Council Ordinance No. 5-87 establishes regulations for
auctioneers within the City of Dublin.
Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to
determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need; 2)
whether or not the use will be properly related to other land uses,
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or not
the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the vicinity; and 4) whether or not the use will be
contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards
established for the district in which it is located.
Section 8-95.010 Site Development Review Intent/Purpose of the
Zoning Ordinance states that Site Development Review is a discretionary
review process intended to promote orderly, attractive and harmonious
site and structural development compatible with individual site
environmental constraints and compatible with surrounding properties and
neighborhoods; to resolve major project-related issues including, but not
limited to, building location, architectural and landscape design and
theme, vehicular and pedestrian access and on-site circulation, parking
and traffic impacts; to ensure compliance with development standards and
general requirements established for Zoning and Planned Development
Districts, including, but not limited to, setbacks, heights, parking,

fences, accessory structures and signage; to stabilize property values;
and to promote the general welfare.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be Categorically
Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class l(a) of the California
Environmental Quality Act guidelines. This use consists of an operation
on an existing improved lot involving negligible expansion of uses beyond
that previously existing. The area utilized for the auction facility, as
well as the number of vehicles to be auctioned, will both increase,
however, the annual number of auction events will decrease.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the March 15, 1993 hearing was published
in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in
public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The Applicant, Adel Saadeh, representing Alameda County Auction, is
requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development
Review for the modification and expansion of the pre-existing automotive
auction establishment located on the northern portion of the Chevron
Industries, Inc. Record Retention Warehouse site, at 6438 Sierra Court.
The proposed auction operation will be expanded to utilize
approximately 86,000 square feet of leased space accommodating up to 130
vehicles available for auction. The original approval allowed the use of
!54,OOO square feet of leased area accommodating 60 vehicles. Although
this represents an increase in both the size of the auction facility, as
well as the number of vehicles to be auctioned, the maximum number of
auction events which may be held throughout the year will decrease from
24 to 18.
The Applicant proposes to hold one auction per month. On special
occasions, however, a second auction may be held within a one month
period. All auctions will be held on Saturday (proposed for the third of
each month). Preview days, which allow the public to view the vehicles
stored on site, will occur on the Friday preceding the auction. A
minimum of 10 portable toilets will be located on-site on auction days.
These toilets will be serviced on the Monday following the auction event.
The Applicant is proposing to relocate the existing 20' X 60' office
trailer towards the front of the lot (see Exhibit A). An additional
chain link fence with gate will be installed approximately 25 feet west
of the trailer. This will allow the Applicant to conduct business during
non-auction days while restricting public access to the storage yard.
The Applicant will have 3 to 4 employees on-site during non-auction days,
and up to 20 employees during auction days.
As with the previous approval, all vehicles will be stored at the
rear, west end of the leased space, behind the screened fence. A minimum
20 foot unobstructed roadway will need to be maintained through the
storage area to allow adequate emergency vehicle access. No automotive
repair work is permitted on-site. The actual auction will occur at the
front, or east portion of the lot. During the auction event, the
Applicant will have trained drivers bring the vehicles from the storage
area into the viewing and bidding area, which will be roped or coned off.
-3-
PAGE.2.-0F~
At the end of the auction, all purchased vehicles will be delivered to
the front gate by a trained driver. To ensure the safety of the site,
only trained personnel are authorized to drive vehicles on the site.
The Applicant is proposing to have security personnel on-site every
night of the week, during non-business hours. Additional lighting will
be added around the perimeter of the lot. In addition, the Applicant is
proposing to use guard dogs each night in the vehicle storage area. The
guard dogs will either be stored at the rear of the site, or they will be
removed by the security company at the start of each business day.
During preview and auction days a minimum of three security personnel
will be on-site. The Applicant has arranged for armored pick-up on
auction days. The Dublin Police Services Department has reviewed the
proposed security program and has determined it to be adequate. The
Applicant will be required to work with the Police Department on an
ongoing basis to maintain an effective security program.
This application is in conformance with the provisions of the
General Plan. This application has been reviewed by other City
Departments and affected agencies and their comments have been
incorporated into the draft resolutions. Staff recommends approval of
the Applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development
Review, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolutions of
approval, Exhibits Band C, respectively.

RE: Conditional Use Permit
Dear Ms. Cirelli :
TIlis letter serves a request for a Conditional Use Pemlit, fi'om the city of Dublin
for Alameda County Auction future operation plans, We would like to give you
some idea in reguard to our operation at 6438 SielTa Ct, Dublin.
Saadeh Corporation, DBA Alameda County Auction, is a new Corporation
starting the auto auction at the above location. Our main objective is to provide
the public with a vehicle auction they can attend to and purchase vehicles for
lower prices than dealerships in their area
As to the size of the property where the auction is to be held is 85K square feet,
paved and fenced capable of handling well over 200 vehicles. In the beginning
we will not be selling more than 60 to 70 vehicles, but as we grow to a bigger and
stronger company, we plan on using the property to the fullest capacity. Our office was
leased fi'om The Scotsman Group, Inc, TIle size ofthe trailer is 60' X 40' and we feel
this size will be sufficient enough to handle the business we are trying to establish
since we have computerized the entire process ofthe papelWork to elimiate any business
delay with buyers and consigners.
There are a few changes and improvements that I would like you to be aware of
First, we are considering moving the trailer to the front of the lot, so we can get the most
use out ofthe lot. We will be installing a pre-fabricated storage shed, that will be located
to the right of the trailer. We will be installing three weather awings, to protect and
confort the public fi'om the rain or UIe sun.

As for the auction days, the auction will be held on Saturdays only. We are con-
sidering the idea of having monthly auction, the third Saturday of every month. As a
minimum business activities and maximum of two auctions per month is a possibility,
As for preview days, it will be held on the Friday, prior to the auction day, so the
interested buyers will have a chance to preview the vehicles they will be interested in
purchasing. As of parking, we worked out a deal "vith Chevron Real Estate Management
with consent to use thier ninty plus parking spaces in front of their building and we will be
designating patt of our m'ea to public parking, For security reasons, we will be using
guard dogs at night, if the city does not object to this.
We know that such an idea will not be inexpensive, but in fact we feel that much more
of our monthly budget will be spent on advertising and marketing our facilities and to
promote the City of Dublin and its Police Depmtment and will be expressing interest
in auctioning their dmg siezed and city surplus vehciles to the public and special interest
groups.
I feel this application should be considered and approved due to the fact that this is
a good business venture and will benefit the public and the city of Dublin. Our main
business is automotive releated mId I cmI increase revenue for the city, and the private
sector, small business men and all automotive repair mId automotive painting business,
even gasoline retailers will feel the increase in their profits mId that will tratIslate into jobs
and revenue dollars to the City of Dublin. We will make sure that our operation to be
cooperative with any city requirements and will work with the City Planning Department
to acheive the goals required.
I hope you fine this letter helpful as possible to underst.:'Uld mId the nature of our business.
Any questions about our business, please feel free to call me any time during business
hours (829-5999).
