NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Dublin does:
hereby find that:
The proposed operation of a drive-through pharmacy and day care facility within the San Ramon
Road Specific Plan and the Planned Development Zoning District for PA 98-038 is compatible with
other land uses (i.e. retail commercial and residential), transportation and service facilities in the
vicinity because the proposed drug store use will provide a commercial service and retail
establishment use consistent with the adjacent downtown uses and both the drug store and day care
uses will offer goods and services which typically benefit residential uses.
The proposed uses will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in
the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare because all the
potential environmental impacts associated with the project are less than significant.
The uses will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the project
is conditioned to comply with all Building and Fire Department requirements, and Public Works
Department requirements regarding on and off-site traffic circulation, street improvements, and on
and off-site drainage improvements.
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.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related
structures being proposed because the project is located on relatively flat land within an urbanized
area adjacent to existing retail commercial uses and medium to high density residential uses and the
Applicants have agreed to mitigate off-site traffic and circulation impacts by the voluntary payment
of $129,880 for street improvements.
The Rite Aid Pharmacy drug store use and KinderCare day care center use is not contrary to the
specific intent clauses, development regulations, and performance standards established for the
Planned Development (PD) Zoning District for PA 98-038 because the conditions of.approval are
required to insure that both uses, which will be supportive of surrounding retail and residential uses
through the provision of day care and education services for adjacent residents and children of
workers in the surrounding commercial areas, and supportive of similar surrounding retail
commercial uses, will be compatible with those uses.
-The approval of this application, as conditioned, complies with the Dublin General Plan, the related
San Ramon Road Specific Plan Amendment and the PD Zoning District regulations, and the
general requirements established in the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT TIlE Dublin City Council hereby approves PA 98-038
Rite Aid/KinderCare Conditional Use Permit to establish a 24-hour drive through pharmacy and a day care
center and to exempt parking requirements for the day care center located at 7348 - 7372 San Ramon

Rezone Ordinance, consisting of nine sheets prepared by Tait and Associates, MCG Architects, Majors 2M
