A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A LARGE
FAMILY DAYCARE HOME AT 2864 SABLE OAKS WAY (APN 985-0043-041)
P A 08-001
WHEREAS, Hena Malik, submitted an application requesting approval of a Conditional Use
Permit to operate a Large Family Daycare Home, for a maximum of 14 children, within an existing single-
family residence in the PD (Planned Development) Zoning District, located at 2864 Sable Oaks Way; and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in acco:~dance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the project is Statutorily Exempt per Section 15274 of
the CEQA Guidelines, because it is a Large Family Daycare Home; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on March 11,
2008; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be conditionally
approved; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations
and testimony herein above set forth and used their independent judgment to evaluate the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby find that:
A. The proposed operation of the Large Family Daycare Home, as conditioned, is compatible with
other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity because: 1) the Daycare Home
complies with State laws and City regulatioins that require the primary use of the site to be a single
family residential use with the Daycare as an accessory use; 2) the noise and traffic impacts will be
minimized by restrictions on the hours of operation and the bw number of vehicle trips that may
be generated by the project; ,md 3) the City Traffic Engineer's review revealed that the residential
street, including street width and street capacity are adequate to handle the necessary parking and
circulation, and therefore, the required parking standards for a Large Family Daycare providing
care for 14 children are excessive and the reduction in the required number of off-site loading
spaces for a Large Family Daycare Home of 3 spaces is appro Jriate and will not result in a parking
deficiency.
B. The Large Family Daycare Home, as conditioned, will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare because: 1) the proposed Large Family Daycare Hom~ will comply with all City of Dublin
and State regulations; 2) the Large Family Daycare Home will be located at an existing single-
family house; 3) the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance defines a Large Family Daycare as a
residential use and therefore the use is compatible with the neighborhood; and 4) the Daycare
facility will be licensed by the State.
C. The Large Family Daycare Home, as conditioned, will not be injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood because: 1) as conditioned, noise and traffic impacts will be
minimized by the Conditions of Approval which establish limits on the number of children
enrolled, the hours of operation, and the hours in which outdoor activities can occur.
D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, and welfare because: the proposed Large Family Daycare Home, is located at
an existing residential dwelling within a single-family residential neighborhood where such
services are already provided and with adequate street access.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being proposed
because: 1) the Large Family Daycare Home will be located on an existing site; 2) the Daycare
complies with State laws and City regulations that require the primary use of the site to be a single
family residential use with the daycare as an accessory use 3) the site is bordered by single-family
residential homes on all 4 sides; 4) 2 parking spaces and 2 loading spaces will be provided on-site;
5) Section 8.76.080.B of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance requi-es a total of 3 parking spaces and 4
loading spaces for the subject property to support the Large Family Daycare, based on the
requirement that the dwelling unit have 2 parking spaces, plm. 1 parking space for every employee
not residing on site (1 parking space), plus 1 loading stall per every 4 children served by the
facility (4 loading spaces); 6) the Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits a reduction in the required
number of parking spaces when the required finding can be met; 7) the requested parking
reduction for 3 loading spaces, has been determined to be warranted based on the capacity and
width of Sable Oaks Way and the availability of loading spaces on Sable Oaks Way by our traffic
engineer; and 8) as conditioned, the driveway will be required to be kept clean and free of the
property owners cars in order to provide adequate loading spaces for parents and guardians of the
children in the Daycare.
F. The Large Family Daycare Home and parking reduction is not contrary to the specific intent
clauses, development regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning district in
which it is located because: I) Section 8.12.050 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits a Large
Family Daycare in all residential zoning districts, including the PD in which the project site is
located, with a Conditionallfse Permit approved by the Planning Commission or City Council, on
appeal;
G. The Large Family Daycare is consistent with the Dublin General Plan because: 1) the proposed
use is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit and meets the intentions of the zoning district in
which it is located; and 2) as conditioned, the Large Family Daycare Home will operate in such a
manner as to limit impacts on the surrounding properties.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve a parking
and loading reduction of 3 off-street loading spaces because the staggered drop-off and pick-up times
typical of the Family Daycare Home will reduce parking and loading demand and the number of on-street
parking spaces in the project vicinity is sufficient.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
conditionally approve PA 08-001, a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Large Family Daycare Home at
2864 Sable Oaks Way, as generally depicted by the Site Plan, Floor Plan and written statement dated
