APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Section 8-49.2 of the City's Zoning Ordinance states that the outside
display of motorcycles in the C-2 District requires a Conditional Use Permit.
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 peformance standards established for the district
in which it is located.
Section 8-94,4 states the approval of a Conditional Use Permit may be
valid only for a specified term, and may be made contingent upon the
acceptance and observance of specified conditions, including but not limited
to the following matters:
a) substantial conformity to approved plans and drawings;
b) limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified activities;
c) 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;
d) guarantees as to compliance with the terms of the approval, including the
posting of bond;
e) compliance with requirements of other departments of the City/County
Government.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been found to be categorically
exempt from CEQA, under Section 15301, Class 1,
of the California Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the August 17, 1987, hearing was published
in The Herald, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public
buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to
allow the outdoor storage and display of new and used motorcycles in a portion
of the parking lot of this site which contains a multi-tenant commercial
building. A similar Conditional Use Permit request at this location was
denied by the Planning Commission on August 6, 1984, appealed to the City
Council, and denied once again on September 10, 1984 (see Background
Attachment 1).
At present, motorcycles are being illegally stored and displayed in the
driveway, the walkway area and in parking spaces of this site on a daily
basis. The City's Zoning Investigator has made the Applicant aware that the
storage and display of motorcycles in this fashion is a zoning violation
without approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Planning Department Staff has
also made the Applicant aware that the storage and display must cease until
such a Use Permit has been approved by the Planning Commission. The Applicant
has continued to store and display the vehicles in the parking lot despite
Staff warnings.
The following chronology of events has occurred between the City and the
owner of the business as of late:
April 30, 1987: The City Zoning Investigator issued a warning letter to
the owner of the business concerning outdoor storage and display of
motorcycles requesting that it cease. The violation continued,
-2-
June 27, 1987: A second warning letter was issued resulting from a
citizen complaint. The violation continued.
July 21, 1987: As a result of the issuance of a citation by the Zoning
Investigator to the Applicant, the Applicant received a "Notice to
Appear" in Municiple Court on August 20, 1987. The violation continued.
July 28, 1987: Since the violation continued, a second citation was
issued by the Zoning Investigator to the Applicant. The Applicant
received a second "Notice to Appear" in Municiple Court on August 27,
1987. The violation continued,
August 4, 1987: Since the violation continued, a third citation was
issued by the Zoning Investigator to the Applicant. The Applicant
received a third "Notice to Apepar" in Municiple Court on September 3,
1987. The violation continues to exist.
The Applicant has told Staff that he will be relocating his business to
the new buildings on the Amador Lanes site. On May 18, 1987, the Planning
Commission approved PA 87-019, which included a Conditional Use Permit for the
outdoor storage and display of motorcycles on the Amador Lanes site. The
Developer has taken out building permits for this project and will proceed
with its construction. The Applicant has indicated that the outdoor storage
on this Dublin Boulevard site is temporary until he can move to the Amador
Lanes site.
Staff informed the Applicant that the parking lot and accessways on this
site were designed to be shared and utilized by the tenants and their patrons
in common. It was explained that this shared useage is for vehicular access
along with patron and tenant parking, not for the storage or display of
customer wares,
The distance between the Kawasaki building and the 90 degree parking in
front of the building is 30 feet. Of that 30 feet, 5 feet are required for
pedestrian access in front of the building. The remaining 25 feet are
required as clear back-up space for vehicles backing out of the parking
spaces.
The proposed location of the motorcycle storage and display area is
within both the driveway and walkway areas. This location would obstruct
adequate vehicular and pedestrian access.
In no other location in the City are motorcycles parked in the
pedestrian and vehicular accessway. Other businesses facing similar outdoor
storage situations have complied with the City's Ordinances by either securing
approval of a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage (payless) or by
storing their wares inside the building (Tri-Valley Honda), This application
should be denied so that it does not not set an undesirable precedent. If
motorcycles are allowed to be stored in front of a building, then we may see
the proliferation of unattractive and poorly kept storage areas directly on
the City's main street in other highly visible locations. This could be
detrimental to the community.
Finally, the Applicant has blatantly ignored City zoning regulations,
warnings from Staff, and Zoning Investigator citations. If this use is
allowed to continue, the situation will only get worse with time. Staff
cannot support a request allowing outdoor display and storage of motorcycles
at this location. The Applicant should be directed to cease the illegal
actions immediately.

Re: Overflow Parking of inventory at Dublin Kawasaki
6743 Dublin Blvd., Dublin
Dublin Kawasaki has been in it's present location for
approximately 13 years. The current ownership, Tri Dynamics
Corp.,began in Jan. 1985 after purchasing the business (then
Kawasaki of Dublin) from William Lindsay. At that time gross
sales had achieved a high of $700,000. Under the direction of
Tri Dynamics Corp. sales have grown to 1.5 to 2 million
dollars annually. This growth has necessarily brought with it
the need for a higher level of inventory and additional space
in which to conduct business. To this end, Tri Dynamics has
signed a lease for approximately 3.5 times it's current space
at a new location. This new location has approved outdoor
inventory parking in it's layout. Occupancy is expected by
Nov. 1987. In the interim, however, Dublin Kawasaki is
unable to comply with the city's requirement to have all
inventory indoors at all times. We respectfully ask that the
planning commission grant a temporary conditional use permit
allowing this inventory parking until such time as our new
facilities are available for occupancy. This is not a change
in any way from what is currently being done and we would
like to emphasize that there is not currently nor has there
been to our knowledge ANY problem of inconvenience, access,
congestion, parking, or safety in the usage of the space in
this manner. In addition there has not been to our knowledge
any complaint by anyone referring specifically to the usage
of this space in this manner during the 13 years of Mr.
Lindsay's or Tri Dynamics' occupancy at this location. This
outdoor parking is essential to the continued growth and
success of our business.
We hope that the city will continue to be our partner in
this growth of our business, the City of Dublin, and the
area.

building and in the parking lot. After exploring these
alternatives, the Planning Commission determined that the site
was simply not designed for an outside display area.
Several property owners have installed or are proposing
significant landscaping improvements along Dublin Boulevard. The
intent of the landscaping improvements is to increase the
attractiveness of the street and to soften the impacts of
adjacent development. The present outside display of motorcycles
at Kawasaki of Dublin is not consistent with the new and proposed
improvements. Approval of this application would send
conflicting signals to the development community.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolution which denies the appeal and upholds the Planning
Commmission's action.
Should the City Council decide to approve the application, Staff
recommends that the City Council 1) direct Staff to prepare a
revised resolution with the necessary findings and 2) continue
the hearing.
The attached 8/6/84 Planning Commission Staff Report contains the
background material associated with this request.

To: city Of Dublin Planning Commision
Subject: Proposal For Displaying Motorcycles
At Kawasaki Of Dublin
1 propose to continue displaying motorcycles
along the east side of Kawasaki of Dublin as
shown on the attached site plan. Displaying
motorcycles is ~ssential to my business. It
shows the passing automobiles, motorcylists,
and general public that we are open for
business and have an exiting product to sell.
In addition it is necessary to have an outside
area in which to deliver a sold motorcycle to
a customer. Starting a motorcycle inside the
store could not be allowed.
Kawasaki of Dublin was started in October of
1976. Since that time motorcycles have been
displayed outside without one complaint from
the County or .the City until March 1, 1984. As
a licensed vehicle ,.dealer'in the state of
California, 1 am entitled to have an outside
display just as any automobile dealer is.
Kawasaki' of

be no cost to the City for this
Some questions have come up reguarding
obstructions to traffic and pedestrians
entering and exiting the Murco Center. Since
Kawasaki of Dublin opened in 1976, there have
been no accidents or mishaps due to parked
motorcycles. In fact the reduced width of the
driveway (26 ft to 23.5 ft) is still 'wider
than the easterly access driveway which is
only 22 ft.
In summary, 1 need to have an outside
motorcycle display to stay in business. If 1
am denied the right to continue this practice,
then the resulting loss in sales may force
closure. For the city of Dublin it would be
unfortunate.

PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: PA 84-035, Kawasaki of Dublin Conditional Use
Permit application for outside display of motorcycles
at 6743 Dublin Boulevard.
Mr. DeLuca presented the Staff Report which was a request by
Kawasaki of Dublin for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an
outside display of motorcycles at 6743 Dublin Boulevard. Staff
noted that the applicant was given several extensions for either
bringing the motorcycles inside or applying for a Conditional Use
Permit. Staff could not support the application because the
motorcycles were within a pedestrian and vehicular circulation
area, the motorcycles did not present a desirable appearance from
Dublin Boulevard, the display of motorcycles would be contrary to
previous City actions on outdoor displays of merchandise, and the
.site was inappropriate for the proposed outdoor display.
Chairman Alexander opened the public hearing.
William Lindsay, owner of Kawasaki of Dublin and applicant,
addressed the Planning Commission and stated he was not told the
correct section of the Zoning Ordinance that he was in violation
of until his citation hearing at the District Attorney's office.
Mr. Lindsay noted that the outside display area was a very
important part of his business and requested the Planning
Commission allow him to continue the outside display.
Mr. DeLuca responded that the applicant was notified of the
proper violation at an office hearing on 3/28/84.
Considerable discussion occurred between the Planning
Commissioners regarding the outside display area. The Planning
Commission brought up several potential alternatives for review
and consideration. It was the consensus of the Planning
Commission that the applicant should meet with Staff to study the
potential alternative locations for the display area, and bring
the alternative locations and findings back to the Planning
Commission.
It was moved by Commissioner Mack and seconded by Commissioner
Petty that this application be continued to the 8/6/84 Planning
Commission meeting to allow the applicant and Staff an
opportunity to study potential alternative locations and bring
the findings back to the Planning Commission for further
consideration.

FROM:
I would like to appeal the decision made by the City of Dublin
Planning commission on August 6, 1984 reguarding the outside
display of motorcycles.at Kawasaki of Dublin. I feel that the
commission rubbered stamped the Planning Departments recomenda-

I decided to open up a motorcycle dealership in Dublin in 1976
primarily due to the location available at 6743 Dublin Blvd. I
applied at that time for all the permits and licenses that I
could find out that were necessary to operate the business. Until
I was notified on March 5, 1984 that I was in violation of a City
zoning Ordinance, I had no idea that a conditional use permit was
necessary. 'As a motor vehicle dealer licensed by the state of
California, I have a right to an outside display (ref:ordinance
8-49.2) subject to the planning commission approval. I believe
that I removed all possible objections to the display of motor-
cycles with the modified plan presented to the commission on
August 6, 1984. As it turned out the overiding objection was that
the planning department did not feel that motorcycles presented
an "attractive appearance. from Dublin Blvd",.
As a longtime businessman in Dublin, I am appealing to you to

PA 84-035, Kawasaki of Dublin, Conditional Use
Permit
TO:
RE:
The Kawasaki of Dublin Conditional Use Permit application was
continued from the July 16, 1984 meeting to the August 6, 1984
meeting. The purpose of the continuance was,to allow the
applicant and Staff the opportunity to explore potential
alternatives for displaying motorcycles outside the Kawasaki
building.
Staff met with the applicant on July 27, 1984, to review a sketch
submitted on July 17, 1984 (attached). The Sketch calls for two
outside display areas, one located'on the eastern side of the --
building immediately south of the entrance with the other display
area located in the landscaped area south of the building. Staff
made it clear to the applicant that Staff could not see any
viable alternatives, however, Staff asked the applicant to
provide more detailed drawings to better show the Planning
Commission what alternatives the applicant would like considered.
Staff suggested that the applicant explore an additional '
alternative area on the eastern side of the building north of the
main entrance. A more detailed sketch was submitted on August 1,
1984, which outlines in more, detail the two outside display
areas.
The Staff cannot support either one of the display areas for the
reasons noted in the previous Staff Report (attached). The
shopping center the applicant is located in was designed and
developed specifically for retail use within the buildings; no
provision was made for an outside display area. The City has
been working with property owners along Dublin Boulevard to
increase the landscaping. To allow an outside display area in a
landscaped area would send conflicting signals to the development
community. The outdoor display of motorcycles at the proposed
location would be inappropriate.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the revised
Resolution attached to the Staff report which denies PA 84-035,
Kawasaki of Dublin's request for a Conditional Use Permit to
allow an outside display area for motorcycles.

CITY OF DUBLIN
BUILDING INSPECTION DEPT.
To: City Of Dublin Planning Commission
Subject: Revised Proposal For Displaying Motorcycles At
Kawasaki Of Dublin
At the Planning Commisions request I am submitting this
revised display plan. I propose to primarily display the
Kawasaki product line on two concrete pads in the front
of the store between the sidewalk and the front window.
Each pad will be 7 ft by 7 ft and will hold either 3
motorcycles ,1 threewheeler and 1 motorcycle, or a pair
of jet skis. In addition I am proposing another concrete
pad along side of the front portion of the building. Its
dimensions will be 4.5 ft by 9 ft. Its purpose will be
primarily to park motorcycles that are awaiting customer
delivery or demonstration.
This plan should satisify any objections that come up
with respect to interfering with traffic or pedestrian
use. In fact the present width of the driveway is 2 ft
wider than the stated -width in the building plan
submitted to the county in 1975.
The vehicle displays will look professional and will add
color to the existing landscaping. It will also show the
passing public that we are open for business and have an
exiting product to sell.
This is the best plan that I could come up with that
would satisfy all prior objections from the Planning
Department with the exception "The outside display of
motorcycles does not present a desirable appearance from
Dublin Blvd."comment that the staff made in their
resolution.
Please pass this plan as I need an outside display to
continue my business.
Sincerely, ~
[)J~ f)
William B Lindsay, Owner
Kawasaki Of Dublin

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the July 2, 1984/hearing'was
published in the Tri-Valley Herald,~~ailedtoadjacent',
property owners, and posted in public b~fldings .
,.
ANALYSIS:
, '
, . r ,{., 1,":0,
In February of 1984 the City received a complaint 'regarding
the outside' display of motorcycles at. the suJ:>ject site .", On
March 5 the City notified the applicant that he was in
violation of the Zoning Ordinance because ,he did not have a
Conditional Use Permit; he was given IOdays to remove the
,motorcycles or file a complete Conditional Use Permit
application. On March 28th an office hearing was held to
determine why the motorcycles were still being displayed
outside the store or why,a Coditional Use Permit application
had not been filed. The applicant was given an extension
for removing the motorcycles or filing'a Conditional Use
Permit ,application until 4/20/84. Since the applicant did
not 'comply and with this extension, a citation hearing was.
held in the District Attorney's office on June 7, 1984. The
District Attorney directed the applicant to ,remove the
motorcycles or file a Conditional Use application by June
18, ~1984 .,' .
h'
The applicant has been informed from the very beginning that
staff could not support a Conditional Use Permit to allow
the outside display of motorcycles at the site in question.
The site was designed and developed specifically for retail
use within the existing buildings. ,No provision was made ·
for an outside display area. The distance between the
Kawasaki building and the 90 degree parking in front of the
building is 30 feet. This is an absolute minimum dist,.7.:1ce
which is comprised of 2S feet of required backup space and 5
feet for pedestrian travel in front of the buildings. In
essense, the applicant has displayed the motorcycles within
the driveway and walkway areas.
The site is reflective of several other small commercial
sites in Dublin. In no other case are motorcycles displayed
in the driveway or walkway area. The most appropriate
location for this type of use would be where there is
sufficient room for an attractive display of motorcyles as
opposed to "squeezing" them in a driveway or walkway area.
This use could possibly be done in conjunction with an
established automobile agency.
Furthermore, the outside display of motorcycles at the
present location does not present an attractive appearance
from Dublin Blvd. The motorcycles are located directly
behind the sidewalk and are extremely visible from Dublin
Blvd. In most commercial zoning Districts the area behind
the sidewalk is landscaped. While it is too late to
incorporate additional landscaping into the project, staff
cannot support a request to display motorcycles at this
location.

To: city Of Dublin Planning Commision
subject: Proposal For Displaying Motorcycles
At Kawasaki Of Dublin
'.
;;
I propose to continue dii'playin'J motorcycles
along the east side of Kawasaki of Dublin as
shown on the attached site plan. Displaying
motorcycles is essential to my business. It
shows the passing automobiles, motorcylists,
and general public that we are open for
business and have an exiting product to sell.
In addition it is necessary to have an outside
area in which to delive~'a sold motoicycle to
a c us tom e r . start i n 9 a' mot 0 r c y c1 e ' ins ideo ;' the
store could not be allowed;
~,'
Kawasaki of Dublin was started in O~~ober of
1976. Since that time motorcycles have been
displayed outside with~~t one complaint from
the County or the City until March 1, 1984. As
a licensed vehicle dealer in the state of
California, I am entitled to have an outside
display just as any automobile dealer is.
, .

be no cost to the City for this
.,
Some questions have come up reguarding
obstructions to traffic and pedestrians
entering and exiting the Murco Center. Since
Kawasaki of Dublin opened in 1976, there have
been no accidents or mishaps due to parked
motorcycles. In fact the reduced width of the
driveway (26 ft to 23.5 It) is still 'wider
than' the "easterly access driveway. which" is
only 22 ft. .

In summary, I need to :have ~.an _outside

RE: ZONING VIOLATION AT 6743 DUBLIN BOULEVARD',
." . .'.' -.-'.' ..-
This'is ,to cC;nfi~m" o~r' conversation of April '2',"'li9B4 -;::'~':,:. :':':',: ,
You have raised two issues at the Office Hearing held on March
2~,'1984 and the .followingis the result of my investigation. "
The property was.rezoned from M-l to C-2 ~nder the 1200th Zoning
Unit effective August 9, 1975. 'A building permit was issued for
the building 'you now.occuPY, November 14, 1975. A permit for the
"Kawasaki" sign was issued on September 20, 1976. You indicated
your business was established Octobe~, 1976.
section 8-49.2(g) of the Zoning O~dinance which permits outdoor
sales, storage or rental of automobiles, campe~s, boats and
tra~le~s with a Conditional Use Pe~~it was added to ~he Zoninc
Ordinance by Ordinance 58-68, effective September 15, 1968. -
Thus, under the Zoning Ordinance it was not pe~missible to
dis?lay your motorcycles outdoors since you established yccr
business in 1976. Further, there is nothing'in the files
indicating that the County gave approval for outdoor dis?lay.
, .
section 8-94.5 does not,apply to your situation for three
reasons:
1. There was no subsequent amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance after 1968 relating to the requirement for a
Conditional Use Permit.'
2. The zoning district boundaries have not been changed
since 1975.
3. The use (outdoor display) established in 1976 would not
be considered a lawfully existing use because it was not
permitted in 1976 without a Cond~tional Use Pe~~it.
section 8-94.1 provides that the Zoning Administrator decides on
applications for a Conditional Use Per~it.
,,'
City of Dublin Ordinance No.2] changed that prov~slon.
3 of that ordinance provides that, with minor exception,
Planning Commission acts on Conditional Use Permits.
