ZONING HISTORY:
Since November 13, 1984, twenty-one (21) sep~rate arts and crafts
fairs have been conducted on this site during the summer and winter months
with Conditional Use Permit approvals. The Dubli~ Planning commission
previously approved PA 94-019 Conditional Use Per~it for the Marg-ett Arts
and Crafts Fair on June 20, 1994.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
--- . -
section 8-61.0 requires that a Conditional Use Permit be obtained from

fairs, for up to four days each, per twelve month period per lot when
sponsored by a Dublin based non-profit, non-restrictive civic or service
organization, for the sale of handmade or handcrafted items for sale by the
original artist.
section 8-94.0 states 1:hat conditional usesnust 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 t,) other land uses,
transportation and service facilities in the vici~ity; 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 th~ use will be contrary to
the specific intent clauses or performance standards established for the
district in which it is located.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be Categorically
Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section
15304, Class 4(e) of the State CEQA Guidelines. 'rhis project involves the
minor temporary use of land having negligible or~o permanent effects on
the environment..
NOTIFICATION: Public NoticE~ of the June 19, 1995 hearing was published in
the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in
public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The Applicant is requesting Conditional Use ?ermit approval to operate
two separate arts and crafts fairs at the Dublin ?laza Shopping Center to
be held on July 13-16 and December 7-10, 1995.
Approximately 30 to 40 arts and crafts booth:::; with individual
artists/craft persons exhibiting their work will be set up along the
pedestrian walkway areas stretching from the Albe:~tson's market to the
'-.'k ?
Aaron Brothers Art Mart~ tore. The proposed hcurs 'f operation for each
fair will be from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
This Conditional Use Permit request has been coordinated with and
sponsored by the Dublin Plaza Shopping Center Merchants Association. The
fairs have not created any special problems for the existing commercial
retail tenants at the shopping center. The city has no record of any
zoning violations associated with the previous fairs operated by the
Applicant.
Previous approvals have allowed the exhibitors to sleep overnight in
their recreational vehicles (RVs) in the shopping center parking lot. The
Commission has permitted overnight use of the RVs with the number and
location subject to review and approval by the Flanning Director. Since
there is no record of any problems occurring from the RVs staying
overnight, Staff has inclujed the same provision in the Draft Resolution,
Exhibit B.
The project has been reviewed by other city departments and their
comments are included as CJnditions of Approval in the draft Resolution.
Due to potential theft problems at these types of events, Dublin Police
suggest that private security patrol services be provided at all times
during the events.
staff recommends approval of the Applicant's Conditional Use Permit
request to allow two separ~te 4-day arts and crafts fairs at the Dublin
Plaza Shopping Center during the months of July and December 1995.
