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. -1- BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission denies the Conditional Use Permit request in PA 87-174.
