Based on the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigated Monitoring Program has been prepared for the project with the f'mding that with the implementation of Mitigation Measures previously adopted for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR and with site specific Mitigation Measures contained in the Initial Study, the potential site-specific impacts of the project would be reduced to a level of insignificance.

The proposed Planned Development Prezone meets the intent and purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a comprehensive Development Plan which will create a desirable use of land and an environment that will be sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan; and 2. The Planned Development Prezone will be appropriate for the subject property in terms of setting forth the purpose, applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses and Development Standards, which will be compatible with existing and proposed residential and open space uses in the immediate vicinity and will enhance the development of the Specific Plan Area; and 3. The Planned Development Prezone will provide for the development of future phases of the Quarry Lane School on land designated by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for Medium Density Residential and Rural Residential/Agricultural land uses. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan envisions this area denoted as subarea G: Foothill Residential in the Specific Plan to be developed with predominantly residential and open space uses as well as uses including public schools and parks; it is therefore appropriate for schools, both public and private to be located in residential neighborhoods in close proximity to the students they serve; the project is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and will contribute towards implementation of said Plan; and 4. The Planned Development Prezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the PD Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information required by Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H, of the Zoning Ordinance; and 5. The Planned Development Prezone will provide efficient use of land and will preserve an area of open space and undisturbed hillside along the north and primarily the northeast comer of the property; and will be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area; and will create an attractive, efficient and safe environment; and 6. The Planned Development Prezone will not have a substantial adverse effect on health or safety or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public improvement, as all applicable regulations will be met; and 7. The Planned Development Prezone will not overburden public services or facilities as all agencies must commit to the availability of Public Services prior to the issuance of any building permits as required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and Mitigation Measures; and Plan; and The Planned Development Prezone will be consistent with the policies of the Dublin General 9. The Planned Development Prezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience and general welfare; and 10. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program and the additional site specific mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study (Attachment 6 to Staff Report) will apply to the Project, as the reporting and monitoring program required by Public Resources Code 21081.6 for the Project NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development Prezone for the Kobold property: 1.
