Haworth Curtiss Dodge Car Dealership 6451 Scarlett Court Dublin, CA 94568 Mike Nohr 800 Portola Avenue Livermore, CA 94550 6451 Scarlett Court Dublin, CA 94568 941-550-12-7 Commercial/Industrial - Retail/Office and Automotive Curtiss Dodge Car Dealership C-2, General Commercial North - PD, Planned Development for C-2 and L-I Uses, Currently Vacant East - M-l, Light Industrial - Dublin Rock & Ready Mix South - Scarlett Court Right-of-Way West - M-I, Light Industrial - Valley Boat House COPIES TO: Applicant Owner File PA 86 -115 ZONING HISTORY: The existing Car Dealership was established following the 1986 Dublin Planning Commission approval of PA 86-057 and PA 86-089, which provided approval of the Site Development Review and Conditional Use Permit for the Car Dealership project. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-87.66 (Signs Requiring Conditional Use Permits) requires a Conditional Use Permit be secured for the use of banners, pennants, flags, balloons, searchlights and similar advertising devices when used for special promotional events for periods that cumulatively run from 30 to 60 (maximum) days annually (any 12-month period) and, on an individual promotional event basis, do not exceed 14 consecutive days of display, Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to determine: I) 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, trans- portation 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 8-94.4 states that the approval of a Conditional Use Permit may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made contingent upon the acceptance and observation of specified conditions, including but not limited to the following matters: a) Limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified activities. b) Time period within which the approval shall be exercised and the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the approval shall lapse and be void. c) Compliance with requirements of other departments of the City/County Government. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Categorically Exempt NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the December 1, 1986, hearing was published in The Herald, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The City's recently amended Sign Regulations, which became effective in June, 1986, formalized the Conditional Use Permit and Administrative Conditional Use Permit processes utilized to consider requests for use of temporary promotional advertising displays. The Sign Regulations require Conditional Use Permits to be processed for temporary promotional advertising displays proposed for use of between 30 and 60 cumulative days within a 12- month period, and require Administrative Conditional Use Permits to be processed for displays used for up to 30 days within a 12-month period, The Applicant has previously processed an Administrative Conditional Use Permit for use of temporary promotional advertising displays for the period running from September II, 1986, to November 10, 1986, under PA 86-099 (30 days of use of temporary promotional advertising display within 60 days of the Grand Opening of the Car Dealership). A subsequent permit (PA 86-114) was also secured for use of temporary promotional advertising displays for up to 30 days of display within the 12-month period running from November II, 1986, to November 10, 1987. -2- Staff suggests that the l2-month approval period utilized for this Conditional Use Permit request match the 12-month time frame utilized for the second of the recent Administrative Conditional Use Permit requests (i,e., making the 12-month time frame of the Conditional Use Permit run from December 12, 1986, to November 10, 1987). This will facilitate the administration of the permits for temporary promotional advertising display that may subsequently be filed over the subject property by coordinating the starting/ending dates for both types of permits. The formalization of the 60-day Conditional Use Permit process was provided in part to simplify the permit process and to maximize the business owner's flexibility on scheduling his or her promotional events, Staff recommends that a standardized notification form be utilized to allow monitoring of the dates displays are utilized (see Background Attachment #l), This form has been used for previous requests and requires the Applicant provide Staff a minimum four-day pre-notification of promotional events, indicating the types of displays to be utilized, and the length of their respective uses. In regards to the possible use of advertising displays which are considered to be potentially visually obtrusive, Staff suggests that the following standards be considered for application: Use of Searchlights - Restrict use to a maximum of 12 days in a 12-month period, with no more than three consecutive days of use to be allowed. Use of Flown Helium or Gaseous Balloons - Restrict to a maximum use of 24 days, with no more than three consecutive days of use. Use of Roof-Mounted, or Ground-Mounted, Cold-Air Balloons - Restrict to a maximum of 30 days for the first one-half year of the permit and allow the Zoning Administrator to determine the frequency of use of balloons during the second one half year of the permit following his review of the frequency of use of balloons throughout the City during the initial period of the permit. These standards are consistent with the standards imposed on the Ozzie Davis Conditional Use Permit request for a 60-day temporary promotional advertising display, The use of cold-air balloons is a relatively new type of promotional display, which use is expected to continue to increase in the near future, especially with the recent changes to the City's Sign Regulations which formalize the Administrative Conditional Use Permit and Conditional Use Permit process for temporary promotional advertising displays. It is not anticipated that the number of businesses using balloons would even double from the previous year, but it would be difficult to speculate on the cumulative number of days or frequency that the balloons are used across the City.
