RESOLUTION NO. 88 - 004
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
~
DENYING PA 87-174 GOODWILL INDUSTRIES DONATION STATION -
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A 25 FOOT LONG TRUCK TRAILER LOCATED
IN THE HOWARD JOHNSON'S HOTEL SITE PARKING LOT AT 6680 REGIONAL STREET
WHEREAS, Anthony Cossette, representing Goodwill Industries, filed
an application for a Conditional Use Permit to locate a 25-foot long truck
trailer for a donation station in the Howard Johnson's Hotel site parking lot
at 6680 Regional Street; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said
application on January 18, 1988; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the request is categorically exempt in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending the application
be denied; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard and considered all said
reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission
does hereby find:
A. The use is not required by the public need at the proposed location in
that a Goodwill Donation Station would serve the public more
appropriately on an industrial or retail commercial site, more so than on
a site that contains a hotel and restaurant.
B. The use is inappropriate for the site in that a Goodwill Donation Station
does not properly relate to the hotel and restaurant activities on the
subject property.
C. The use, if permitted under all circumstances and conditions of this
particular case, would materially affect adversely the health or safety
of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property or
improvements in the area, as all applicable regulations will be met.
D. The use will be contrary to the specific intent, clause or performance
standards of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan in that:
1. The project does not improve visual appearance of the downtown
area.
2. The project does not provide landscaping as a buffer nor as an
attractive urban design feature.
3. The project does not improve relationships between land uses in the
area.
4. Retail, hotel and commercial recreational land uses are encouraged
in Zone 2 of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan. The proposed
donation station does not fit into either of ~these land use
categories.
