A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A SITE DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW FOR PA 99-029, THE HOME DEPOT EXPO DESIGN CENTER
WHEREAS, Kirk Bezanson, on behalf of Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. has requested approval of a
Site Development Review to allow a 93,130 square foot Home Depot EXPO Design Center on a
cleared lot in the Dublin Place Shopping Center located between the Montgomery Ward and Target
stores; and
WHEREAS, Applicant/Developer has submitted a complete application for a Site Development
Review which is available and on file in the Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, Applicant/Developer has submitted project plans for a Site Development Review for
the Home Depot EXPO Design Center dated received November 15, 1999, and a colors and materials
board dated received November 15, 1999, and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an Initial Study to evaluate site-specific impacts of the project.
Based on the Initial Study, the City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project with the finding that although the project could have a significant effect on the
enviromment, there will not be a significant impact in this case because revisions in the project have been
made or agreed to by the project proponent and because a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be adopted
that mitigates any impacts of the project to a level of insignificance through the adoption of mitigation
measures and a Mitigation Monitoring Program; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said applications on May 23,
2000; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the Planning Commission recommending approval
of the Site Development Review for PA 99-029; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has transferred original hearing jurisdiction for this
project to the City Council pursuant to Section 8.96.020.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for this project on May 23, 2000; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Site Development
Review:
Approval of this application is consistent with the purpose and intent of this Chapter because a
Bathroom and Kitchen equipment display and sales facility is a retail use permitted within the C-1
(Retail Commercial) Zoning District.
The project is consistent with Development Zone 7 of the Downtown Specific Plan which allows
retail uses, and is within and consistent with the Retail/Office designation of the General Plan and
the C-1 (Retail Commercial) Zoning District which allow retail uses.
The approval 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 general welfare because a Mitigated
Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program have been prepared by the
City which reduce any project-related impacts which may impact the public health, safety and
general welfare to a level of less than significant.
The approved site development, including site layout, structures, vehicular access, circulation and
parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety and similar elements, has been designed to provide a
desirable environment for the development.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development
because it is graded flat, has vehicular access and access to all public services.
Impacts to views are addressed because the project does not interrupt any views from 1-580 and 1-
680.
Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because the site is graded flat.
There are no topographic features on the project site.
Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors, screening
of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been incorporated into the
project and as conditions of approval in order to insure compatibility of this development with the
development's design concept or theme and the character of adjacent buildings, neighborhoods,
and uses.
Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant
materials, provisions and similar elements have been considered to ensure visual relief and an
attractive environment for the public.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that the City Council approve a Site Development Review for PA 99-029, Home Depot
EXPO Design Center.

the emissions created in the production of electric power and created by burning natural
gas.
b) The project will utilize curbside recycling, which will reduce the amount of solid wastes
from the project which would be deposited at a landfill site, thereby minimizing the amount
of nitrous oxide emissions from the landfill.
