WHEREAS, the applicant John Markey has requested a Conditional Use Permit to establish a
Second Dwelling Unit located on APN 941-2752-034-00; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said application on
July 9, 2002; and

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and
testimony herein above set forth and used its independent judgment to make a decision; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does find that
consistent with the standards and intent of the Second Dwelling Unit Regulations, the Purposes of the R-1
District, and the requirements of Conditional Use Permits, the proposed Second Dwelling Unit is compatible
with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 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; will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood; will have adequate
provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that it would not be
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare; and the site is physically suitable for the type, density and
intensity of the use and related structures being proposed because, as conditioned, the Second Dwelling Unit
shall allow for more efficient use of the City's existing housing stock by allowing a resident to care for his
parent in an independent unit on his property, and the following reasons:
1. The proposed apartment complies with all requirements for Second Dwelling Units pursuant
to Chapter 8.80 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed unit does not negatively impact the family character of the neighborhood
because the new unit is designed to complement the existing single-family home and the
family's household.
3. The unit would not negatively impact the traffic in the neighborhood because of its small size
and because the project meets the required parking for Second Units.
4. If approved, the project would be subject to a Building Permit issued by the Building and
Safety Division and would meet all utility service requirements.
5. The proposed apartment is designed to accommodate a wheelchair and the shower can convert
to a disabled shower easily.
6. The Second Dwelling Unit is consistent with the Dublin General Plan because it will create
housing of varied types, sizes and prices to meet current and future needs of all Dublin
residents.
