Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review.
BACKGROUND:
On July 21, 1998, the City Council initiated a General Plan Amendment Study at
the request of Rite Aid Corporation to allow a Rite Aid drug store with a garden
center as a permitted use within Area 3 of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan (the
San Ramon Road Specific Plan currently prohibits drug stores within Area 3) and to
include all the parcels behind the proposed Rite Aid parcel as one piece of property
within the Study.
On September 17, 1998, the Rite Aid Corporation submitted a Specific Plan
Amendment; PD Rezone; Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to
construct an approximate 16,700 square foot drug store with a drive through
pharmacy window. Shortly after Rite Aid submitted their application, KinderCare, a
day care operator, became interested in developing a day care center on the parcels
behind the Rite Aid parcel. On December 21, 1998, KinderCare submitted a
Specific Plan Amendment, PD Rezone and Conditional Use Permit/Site Development
Review application, which became part of the Rite Aid application.
Rite Aid proposes to vacate their existing tenant space located at 7201 Regional
Street and construct a new drug store on the northwest corner of Amador Valley
Boulevard and San Ramon Road with adrive-through pharmacy. The garden center
is no longer proposed. The new corner location will help Rite Aid remain
competitive with other large stores that offer pharmaceuticals at low prices by
offering the convenience of a corner site access and adrive-through pharmacy.
KinderCare will be operating a new day care center in the City. KinderCare Learning
Centers, Inc. is the largest provider of for-profit early education and child care
services in the United States. KinderCare provides center-based preschool
education and childcare services five days a week throughout the year for children
between the ages of six weeks and twelve years. The proposed Dublin KinderCare
will have a maximum capacity of 180 children but the expected enrollment is
approximately 150 to 155 children.
DISCUSSION:
Project Description
The proposed project consists of constructing a new 24-hour Rite Aid
Pharmacy store and the KinderCare day care facility on four parcels, which will
be consolidated into two parcels, totaling approximately 3 acres (see the site
2
plan included in the Development Plan, Exhibit C-1 of Exhibit C-. The majority
of the project site is currently vacant. The existing bedroom furniture store will
be demolished prior to constructing the project. The project proponents are
also voluntarily contributing traffic improvement funds in the amount of
$129,880 as part of their project. These fees will be used to mitigate any
potential traffic impacts of the proposed project on surrounding roadways.
The proposed Rite Aid/KinderCare project complies with the existing General
Plan land use designation for the project site, which is Retail/Office. The
project is located within Area 3 of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan and the
existing zoning is C-1, Retail Commercial Zoning District.
The project requires the following planning permit approvals: 1) an amendment to
the San Ramon Road Specific Plan to allow: la) a drug store as a permitted use
instead of a prohibited use; Ib1 adrive-through pharmacy as a conditional use; and
(c) a day care facility as a conditional use; 2) a PD District rezone (as a requirement
of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan) that includes a Stage 1 and Stage 2
Development Plan; 3) a Conditional Use Permit to allow a 24-hour drive-through
pharmacy, a day care center (15+ children), and an exemption from parking
requirements for the day-care center; and 4) Site Development Review for the
construction of a 16,708 square foot retail pharmacy and a 9,824 square foot day
care center and the installation of parking and landscaping.
Specific Plan Amendment
The San Ramon Road Specific Plan geographic designation of the project site is
"Area 3" (San Ramon properties. This designation allows for the development of
retail shopper stores oriented to providing additional comparison shopping goods for
both Dublin and nearby community residents. It is the intent of the Specific Plan
that the principal uses within Area 3 be reserved for retail shopper stores. Under
certain circumstances, a limited amount of development can be for other types of
uses such as, personal service, financial institutions or office uses.
The Specific Plan identifies drug stores as prohibited uses and day care centers and
drive-through pharmacies are not specifically identified as conditional uses.
According to the Plan, "drug stores" are prohibited uses because they are
considered convenience store-type uses. A market study completed for the Plan
indicated that there was not enough residential development to support more
convenience stores in the downtown area. However, since the adoption of the Plan
in 1983, the City has approved additional residential development throughout the
City, in particular, the 174 multi-family unit residential project (Kildara) just west of
the project site, which would now support convenience stores. Furthermore, it is
the intent of the Plan that the principle use of Area 3 be reserved for retail shopper
3
stores. As a result, the Plan will be amended to allow drug stores as a permitted
use which would result in no land use conflicts with the Plan.
The City's Zoning Ordinance allows drive-through businesses as a conditional use
within the C-N, Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District; C-1, Retail Commercial
Zoning District and the C-2, General Commercial Zoning District. If a drug store
will be allowed as a permitted use within Area 3, the drive-through pharmacy
should be considered a conditional use because it is an ancillary use to the main
drug store use and since this type of use is a conditional use within commercial
districts. Amending the Specific Plan to allow adrive-through pharmacy as a
conditional use would not result in land use conflicts with the Specific Plan, the
City's Zoning Ordinance or General Plan because a Conditional Use Permit provides
for the review of a development proposal by the Planning Commission and the
application of conditions of approval will insure that the intent of the Zoning
Ordinance is met.
The City's Zoning Ordinance allows day care centers (with 15+ children) within
commercial centers as a conditional use. The proposed day care center will be
compatible with the proposed Rite Aid drug store use and the surrounding
residential and commercial uses, especially the Montessori School (also an
educational/day care facility) across the street within the Strouds shopping center.
Both the drug store and day care center will be supportive of existing retail and
residential uses in the area. Rite Aid will provide a commercial service and retail
use consistent with the adjacent downtown uses, and both Rite Aid and KinderCare
will offer goods and services which typically benefit residential uses. KinderCare
will provide day care and education services for adjacent residents and children of
workers in the surrounding commercial areas. Amending the Plan to allow day care
centers as conditional uses would not result in land use conflicts with the Specific
Plan, the City's Zoning Ordinance or General Plan.
Planned Development District Rezone
According to the "General Development Criteria -Zoning" section of the San
Ramon Road Specific Plan, all new development proposals within the Specific Plan
area requires a Planned Development Zoning approval.
A Planned Development (PD) Zoning District and Development Plan (Stage 1 and 2)
has been prepared for the project (see Exhibit C resolution). Except as specifically
modified by the provisions of the PD District Rezone and Development Plan, the
use, development ,improvement and maintenance of the project site are subject to
the provisions of the C-1, Retail Commercial Zoning District of the Zoning
Ordinance with regard to permitted/conditional uses, land use restrictions and
minimum/maximum development criteria.
4
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan (see Exhibit C-1 of Exhibit C resolution)
includes development standards, such as permitted and conditional uses, site area
densities, development standards, etc., and the Rite Aid and KinderCare project
plans.
Development under the Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan
will be compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding areas
due to site design/layout, architecture design, setback, parking and landscaping
requirements of the Planned Development Zoning District and related Site
Development Review. Application of these requirements will result in commercial
development that will be compatible with the surrounding retail commercial and
medium to high density residential uses.
Conditional Use Permit
The Conditional Use Permit for this project covers the establishment of a drive-
through pharmacy, a day care facility for a maximum of 180 children, and an
exemption of parking requirements for the day care facility.
Rite Aid
The drive-through pharmacy will provide adrive-up window. Similar to the main
store operation, the drive-through pharmacy will be operated on a 24-hour basis.
Potential concerns with the window speaker creating too much noise are addressed
through a condition of approval of the Exhibit D resolution. The speakers for the
drive through window must be at a noise level which reflects the minimum
functional volume and speaker noise levels cannot be discernible beyond the
property lines, in particular, the adjacent residential neighborhood. Regarding on-
site traffic circulation, the proposed site layout for the project is designed to
prevent vehicle stacking problems within the parking lot (see the "On- and Off-Site
Circulation" section for further discussion-.
The City had a concern with the potential land use and aesthetic impacts the
proposed Rite Aid project would create by vacating their existing tenant space on
Regional Street, which is within the Downtown Specific Plan area. The vacancy
created by the proposed project would conflict with the following policies of the
Downtown Specific Plan: 1) maintain downtown Dublin as a strong regional
center; 2) increase the amount of retail development downtown; and 3) continue
the current retailing and service commercial uses in the land use zone where the
current existing store is located.
The project would also conflict with the San Ramon Road Specific Plan policy
which states that any new development shall be compatible with existing
5
residential or other commercial development located within or adjacent to the San
Ramon Road Specific Plan. The existing Rite Aid site is located "adjacent" to the
San Ramon Road Specific Plan area. If the new Rite Aid project causes the current
Rite Aid site to become vacant, the vacancy will be incompatible with the existing
commercial development around the existing Rite Aid site. In addition, the vacancy
may cause arun-down appearance of the shopping center where Rite Aid currently
exists that may result in a negative aesthetic effect.
In order to mitigate the land use and aesthetic impacts specified above, a condition
of approval has been added to the Exhibit D resolution which requires the existing
Rite Aid site to be re-leased to a business whose use is consistent with the
Downtown Specific Plan (i.e., retail and service commercial uses). Prior to issuance
of a building permit the Rite Aid Corporation must provide the Planning Department
verification that the existing Rite Aid site has been re-leased.
KinderCare
The KinderCare facility will be operating from 6:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., Monday
through Friday. KinderCare is also conditioned to control all project related
activities and noise in the parking lot, especially the playground, so as not to create
a nuisance to the adjacent residential community (see Exhibit D resolution).
The playground area will not be occupied until 8:00 a.m. under normal conditions
and only individual age groups are allowed on the playground at any given time.
The play facility will be set back approximately 60 feet from the nearest residential
unit and between that unit and the play facility, there is a roadway, parking aisle, a
3 foot wide landscape area, and a 6 foot high concrete block wall, which would
help mitigate any potential noise impacts. Additionally, KinderCare recently
commissioned Bunton and Associates to conduct a noise study to determine noise
levels for a typical KinderCare playground area. The study indicated that the
decibel level was in anon-offensive range.
KinderCare is also requesting an exemption from the parking requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance for day care centers. According to the Zoning Ordinance, a total
of fifty-three (53) parking spaces would be required for the KinderCare project,
which based on the TJKM Transportation Consultants traffic study, dated January
25, 1999, is excessive. Twenty (20) parking spaces are adequate for the
KinderCare project based on TJKM's research completed for two other KinderCare
facilities in the Tri-Valley, in particular, the Pleasanton facility which has the same
children capacity of 180 and the same number of staff persons as the proposed
Dublin facility. The greatest demand for parking at these other facilities was at
5:05 p.m. when all nineteen (19) stalls were occupied. The proposed KinderCare
facility will be required to provide a minimum of twenty (20) parking spaces. The
KinderCare site plan currently shows a maximum of forty (40) parking spaces.
s
Site Development Review
Design
The "General Development Criteria" of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan
addresses the compatibility of uses and require that special attention be placed on
insuring compatibility of uses proposed in any new development with existing
residential or other commercial development located within or adjacent to the
Specific Plan area. The following factors are taken into consideration for
determining compatibility of uses: height of proposed structures, design,
landscaping, setbacks, street side design treatment, distance between buildings,
loading areas, walls and fences and pedestrian/bicycle and service circulation.
The main architectural theme of both the Rite Aid and KinderCare buildings is
California Spanish architecture. This architecture is compatible with and
compliments the architecture styles of the surrounding commercial development -
Strouds Plaza and the Kildara residential community. Both buildings will have terra
cotta the roofs and will utilize stucco/plaster siding. The Rite Aid building will have
trellis structures along the south and east elevations (elevations most visible to the
public) and all four elevations will incorporate pop-out columns and split face
concrete masonry for reducing the blank wall effect. The building will incorporate
warm neutral colors of creamy beige and tan with the accents along various parts
of the building. The proposed triangular canopy will be blue. The KinderCare
building will also be painted with earth colors and will utilize wood fascias and the
accents. Both buildings are proposed as one-story buildings with a maximum
building height of 27 feet for the Rite Aid building (32 feet for the corner entry
element) and 21 .5 feet for the KinderCare building.
Staff requested that Rite Aid orient the main building entrance towards San Ramon
Road. The proposed project's main entry is a corner entry facing Amador Valley
Boulevard and San Ramon Road. Staff also requested that Rite Aid utilize a tower
element at the corner entry way to balance the architecture of a corner commercial
building and to enhance this area as a pedestrian focal point.
Landscaping
Most of the proposed landscaping for both the Rite Aid and KinderCare sites is
adequate and complies with the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
However, some additional landscaping will be required at Rite Aid's main entry
corner and within the KinderCare parking lot, subject to the review and approval by
the Community Development Director. The additional parking lot landscaping will
enhance the aesthetic appearance of the project and provide the necessary shade
relief for people and automobiles thereby reducing the heat and glare generated by
the development.
There are seven mature trees currently located on the site. Four of the trees will
remain as part of the landscaping for the new development. However, a mature
eucalyptus tree and two unhealthy oak trees measuring less than 24" in diameter,
will require removal once the project is constructed.
The Applicant will be required to install street trees in compliance with the Public
Works Department standards and the Applicant is also required to submit a Final
Landscape and Irrigation Plan with their building plans, which must include
landscaping information for all proposed landscaping and documentation for
compliance with the City's Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance.
On-and Off-Site Circulation
According to the Public Works Department and the traffic study conducted by
TJKM Transportation Associates dated February 4, 1999 (see background
Attachment 2), the on and off-site circulation patterns for the project are adequate.
The drive through aisle with the pharmacy drive-up window has an adequate
turning radii and sufficient space for vehicle stacking and the parking lot
configuration for Rite Aid and KinderCare will facilitate on-site traffic movement.
The Applicant will be responsible for widening Amador Valley Boulevard to 4 lanes
at the intersection with San Ramon Road. This will facilitate traffic movement on
and off San Ramon Road and the project site, thereby mitigating any potential
traffic congestion that may result from the project.
The applicant will be required to follow City, County and State design standards
regarding roadway and access design. The applicant will also be required to
comply with City and Fire department standards regarding access for emergency
services.
The project proponents will be voluntarily contributing traffic improvement funds in
the amount of 5129,880 as part of their project. These funds will be used to
mitigate any potential traffic impacts of the proposed project on surrounding
roadways through street improvements.
This project is not in conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative
transportation. A public pedestrian/bike trail is located east of the project site,
between the project site and street curb along San Ramon Road. Bicycle and
pedestrian, including handicap, access is adequate to both project sites. Bike racks
are required as a standard condition of approval (see Exhibit D resolution-. In
addition, the project proponents will be required to install a bus turn-out along the
8
project frontage, including a concrete pad, passenger bus shelter and trash
receptacle.
Regarding on-site pedestrian circulation, staff required that the project provide for a
pedestrian connection between the KinderCare facility and the Rite Aid building.
Signage for pedestrian safety are required as conditions of project approval.
Calaveras Fault
The Guiding Policy of the Seismic Safety Element of the Dublin General Plan
indicates that geologic hazards shall be mitigated or development shall be located
away from geologic hazards in order to preserve life, protect property, and
reasonably limit the financial risks to the City of Dublin and other public agencies
that would result from damage to poorly located public facilities. All structures
shall be designed to the standards delineated in the Uniform Building Code and the
Dublin Grading Ordinance. Standards intended for human occupancy shall be at
least 50 feet from any active fault trace; freestanding garages and storage
structures may be as close as 25 feet. These distances may be reduced based on
adequate exploration to accurately locate the fault trace. Generally, facilities should
not be built astride potential rupture zones, although certain low-risk facilities may
be considered.
The project site is located within the "Special Study Zone" at the south-central
extent of the San Ramon Valley. The Calaveras Fault, an active fault, was mapped
at the project site. The fault zone at the project site is 1,000 feet wide and the
main trace of the Calaveras Fault may lie beneath San Ramon Road. The Rite Aid
building is set back 170 feet from San Ramon Road.
In order to mitigate any potential geologic impacts of the project to a less than
significant level, the City will apply conditions of project approval requiring that a
comprehensive geologic and soils report be prepared by a licensed geologist
identifying any geologic or soil hazard zones, appropriate mitigation measures and
other recommendations, prior to issuance of building permits for the project. The
report shall be completed to the satisfaction of Public Works Director to assure that
a reasonable safety factor is provided. The Applicant shall also be required to
conduct subsurface soil condition testing and to design the proposed structures
according to the Uniform Building Code, and to have a structural engineer check
seismic design parameters.
Signage
The Applicant will be required to submit a Master Sign Program -Site Development
Review application for the Rite Aid and KinderCare wall signs and freestanding
signs. A Master Sign Program is required for a project that includes more than one
9
freestanding sign per parcel. Rite Aid is contemplating installing two freestanding
signs on their parcel. Approval of a Master Sign Program for the project will
contribute to the effective and attractive identification of the Rite Aid and
KinderCare businesses and to the design quality of the site and surrounding area
that will be superior to the quality that would have resulted under the City's
standard sign regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW/PUBLIC COMMENTS:
A Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA-, State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin
Environmental Guidelines. The 20-day public review period began February 12,
1999 and ended March 3, 1999. A Negative Declaration has been prepared
because the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Two letters were received on the Negative Declaration by the time this staff report
was prepared (see background Attachments 3 and 4-. Both letters were from
Kildara homeowners. As one major concern, 60 Kildara property owners feel that
the project will exacerbate the existing drive-through traffic problem within the
Kildara community. Property owners have stated that currently, individuals wanting
to avoid the traffic congestion on San Ramon Road and Dublin Boulevard, use
Kildara's private roads as a thoroughfare to access the western area of Dublin.
Apparently there are vehicles currently using the Kildara development as a short-cut
to get to Donlan Way, then to Dublin Boulevard heading west. Property owners
feel that the proposed Rite Aid/KinderCare project would increase traffic through
Kildara resulting in noise, safety, pollution and increased maintenance cost
concerns. This same letter (Attachment 3) includes a list of conditions that the
property owners feel should be applied to the project.
Other major concerns include potential noise impacts from the 24 hour Rite Aid
drive-through speakers and the day care playground; potential traffic congestion at
the Amador Valley Boulevard and San Ramon Road intersection with traffic turning
left on Amador Valley Boulevard to access the project and with traffic exiting the
project backing up on Amador Valley Boulevard; and potential on-site traffic
congestion of vehicles utilizing the drive-through pharmacy.
Another resident commented that the project will result in increased air pollution,
geologic problems, aesthetic impacts, and public service impacts (see Attachment
4).
Staff will address these concerns at the public hearing.
to
CONCLUSION:
All potential impacts associated with the project have been, or will be addressed,
either through the re-design/reconfiguration of the project, and/or through
conditions of project approval. The project, as conditioned, including the PD District
Development Plan complies with the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and the
San Ramon Road Specific Plan and is compatible with other land uses (i.e. retail
commercial and residentiap, transportation and service facilities, and commercial
and residential structures in the vicinity.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval
of Rite Aid/KinderCare's Specific Plan Amendment, PD Rezone, Conditional Use
Permit and Site Development Review request, and adopt resolutions Exhibits A, B,
C and D.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning
Commission does hereby make the following findings and determinations regazding said proposed
Planned Development Rezone:
1. The Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan (Stage 1 and 2) meet the
purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because they will provide retail commercial
and day care uses that aze appropriate uses for the site, which is located within Area 3 of the San Ramon
Road Specific Plan which promotes the development of retail shopper stores, and which is located neaz
adjacent retail and medium to high density residential land uses. The comprehensive Development Plan
will be sensitive to surrounding uses by virtue of site layout and design of the architecture and site plan;
and
2. Development under the Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan
(Stage 1 and 2) would be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the
surrounding areas due to site design layout, azchitecture design, setback, pazking and landscaping
requirements of the Planned Development Zoning District, which are adequate and have been specially
designed to fit into the existing neighborhood. Both uses are supportive of surrounding retail and
residential uses through the provision of day caze and education services for adjacent residents and
children of workers in the surrounding commercial azeas, and supportive of similar surrounding retail
commercial uses; and
3. The Planned Development (PD) Rezone 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 for a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan and accomplishes
the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H, of the Zoning Ordinance; and
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being
proposed because it is located on relatively flat land within a developed downtown area adjacent to
existing retail commercial uses and medium to high density residential uses, was previously developed,
and because it is located adjacent to roadways which are designed to carry traffic that would be generated
by the proposed types of uses; and
5. The Planned Development Rezone 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 laws and regulations will be satisfied; and
7. The Planned Development Rezone will not overburden public services as all agencies must
commit to the availability of public services prior to the issuance of building permits as required by City
laws and regulations; and
8. The Planned Development Rezone and accompanying Conditional Use Permit and Site
Development Review, will create an attractive, efficient, and safe environment; and
9. The Planned Development Rezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience, and
general welfaze; and
10. The Planned Development Rezone and accompanying Site Development Review and
Conditional Use Permit will be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area; and
11. The proposed amendment is consistent with the RetaiUOffice designation of the Dublin
General Plan and the proposed use types are permitted by said designation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that the City Council approve a Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan
for PA 98-038 Rite Aid/KinderCare, (Exhibit C-1, attached to this resolution), which constitute
regulations for the use, improvement, and maintenance of the property. Except as specifically identified

CARE CENTER, AND VOLUNTARILY CONTRIBUTE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT FUNDS IN
THE AMOUNT OF $129,880; AND TO ESTABLISH A 24-HOUR DRIVE-THROUGH PHARMACY
AND DAY CARE CENTER AND TO EXEMPT PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DAY
CARE CENTER LOCATED AT 7348 - 7372 SAN RAMON ROAD
WHEREAS, the Applicants, Peter Tobin of Tait and Associates, on behalf of Rite Aid Corporation,
and Joe Bledsoe of KinderCare Learning Centers, have requested approval of an amendment to the San
Ramon Road Specific Plan, a Planned Development (PD) District Rezone, a Conditional Use Permit and Site
Development Review to construct an approximate 16,700 square foot retail drug store, a 9,824 square foot
day Gaze center, and voluntazily contribute traffic improvement funds in [he amount of $ 129,880, and to
establish a 24-hour drive through pharmacy and a day caze center and to exempt pazking requirements for the
day caze center located at 7348 - 7372 San Ramon Road, within the San Ramon Road Specific Plan and the
C-1, Retail Commercial Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, the project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines and a Negative
Declaration has been prepared for this project and is on file with the Dublin Planning Department. The
project, as proposed, will not have a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public heazing on said application on
March 9, 1999; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be conditionally
approved; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did heaz and consider all said reports, recommendations and
testimony hereinabove set forth and used their 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
hereby find that:
A. The proposed operation of adrive-through phazmacy 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 caze
EXHIBIT D
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 cimulation impacts by the voluntary payment of
$129,880 for street improvements.
The Rite Aid Pharmacy drag 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.
The Rite Aid and KinderCare project is consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 8.104 Site
Development Review of the Zoning Ordinance.
The approval of this application, as conditioned, is in the best interest of the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The proposed 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 developments.
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 in order
to insure compatibility of this commercial development with the development's design concept or
theme and the architectural character of the surrounding commercial and residential buildings 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 City Council approval of PA 98-038 Rite Aid/KinderCare Conditional Use Permit and Site
Development Review request to construct an approximate 16,700 square foot retail drug store, a 9,824 square
foot day care center, and 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 Road, as generally depicted
by the plans, labeled Exhibit C-1 of the related Planned Development District Rezone Planning Commission

Specific Plan Amendment/PD Rezone/Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review
INTRODUCTION
The City of Dublin has prepared this initial stud~, to assess the potential environmental effects of the
proposed Specific Plan Amendment; PD (Planned Development) District Rezone; Conditional Use Permit
and Site Development Review for the Rite Aid and KinderCare project (PA 98-038). This analysis is
intended to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and provide the
City with adequate information for project review. This initial study includes a project description,
environmental checklist and discussion focused upon issues identified in the checklist.
In summary, this Initial Study concludes that the project will not pose any significant adverse
environmental impacts.
The Initial Study was prepared based upon the location of the project, staff office review, field
review, comments from the City and local agencies, use of City Planning Documents, the CEQA Law and
Guidelines, and the City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project, located at the northwest comer of San Ramon Road and Amador Valley
Boulevard, consists of constructing a new 24-hour Rite Aid Pharmacy store and KinderCare day care
facility on four parcels, which will be consolidated into two parcels, totaling approximately 3 acres (see
attached site plan). The majority of the project site is currently vacant. Rite Aid will be vacating their
existing site located at 7201 Regional Street within the Albertson's/Mervyn's shopping center along
Regional Street. KinderCare will be operating a new day care center within the City. The day care facility
will have a maximum capacity of 180 children but the expected enrollment is approximately 150 to 155
children. Their hours of operation will be from 6:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. The project proponents are also
voluntarily contributing traffic improvement funds in the amount of $129,880 as part of their project.
These fees will be used to mitigate any potential traffic impacts of the proposed project on surrounding
roadways.
The existing General Plan land use designation for the project site is Retail/Office and the proposed
project complies with this land use designation. The project is located within Area 3 of the San Ramon
Road Specific Plan. The existing zoning is C-l, Retail Commercial Zoning District.
The project requires the following planning permit approvals: 1) an amendment to the San Ramon
Road Specific Plan to allow: (a) a drug store as a permitted use instead of a prohibited use; (b) a drive-
through pharmacy as a conditional use; and (c) a day care facility as a conditional use; 2) a PD District
rezone that includes a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan (as a requirement of the San Ramon Road
Specific Plan); 3) a Conditional Use Permit to allow a 24-hour drive-through pharmacy, a day care center
(15+ children), and an exemption from parking requirements for the day-care center; and 4) Site
Development Review for the construction of a 16,700 square foot retail pharmacy and a 9,824 square foot
day care center and the installation of parking, landscaping and signage.

Mandatory Findings of
Significance
DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described or, an attached sheet have been added to
the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed
by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially
significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
[] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a
significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an
earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
(Keyed to the Environmental Checklist)
Explanation of Potentially Significant, Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation
Incorporated and Less Than Significant Impact Answers
The following topics have been found to have potentially significant, potentially significant unless
mitigation incorporated, and/or less than significant impacts as indicated in the preceding
environmental checklist.
I. Land Use and Planning
Environmental Setting:
The project site consists of approximately 3 acres of partially undeveloped land along a major roadway,
San Ramon Road. One parcel contains a single story structure that will be removed prior to
constructing the proposed project. The project site is .5 miles north of Interstate 580 and .75 miles
west of Interstate 680, and is located within Dublin's downtown area. The General Plan land use
designation for the site is Retail/Office and the zoning designation is C-l, Retail Commercial Zoning
District. The project site is also located within Area 3 of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan and is
adjacent to the Dublin Downtown Specific Plan.
The Rite Aid project proponent will be vacating their existing 60,246 square foot tenant space within
the Albertson's/Mervyn's shopping center along Regional Street within the City's downtown.
Project Impacts:
Items Ia., lb., Id. and Ie.
There are no impacts associated with Items Ia., lb., Id., and Ie. The proposed project complies with the
Retail/Office land use designation of the Dublin General Plan, which allows shopping centers and retail
stores. The C-l, Retail Commercial Zoning District zoning allows retail stores as a permitted use, and
a large day care center (15+ children) as a conditional use. The proposed drug store and day care use
currently conflict with the Area 3 land use provisions of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan (Plan) to
the extent that a drug store is a prohibited use and day care centers are not specifically identified as
conditional uses.
According to the Plan, "drug stores" are prohibited uses because they are considered convenience
store-type uses. A market study completed for the Plan indicated that there was not enough residential
development to support more convenience stores in the downtown area. However, since the adoption
of the Plan in 1983, the City has approved additional residential development throughout the City, in
particular, the 174 multi-family unit residential project (Kildara)just west of the project site, which
would now support convenience stores. Furthermore, it is the intent of the Plan that the principle use
of Area 3 be reserved for retail shopper stores. As a result, the Plan will be amended to allow drug
stores as a permitted use which would result in no land use conflicts with the Plan.
The C~ty s Zomn~, Ordinance allows day care centers with 15+ children within commercial centers as a
conditional use. The proposed day care center is compatible with the proposed Rite Aid drug store use
and the Montessori School across the street within the Strouds shopping center. Amending the Plan to
allow day care centers as conditional uses would not result in land use conflicts with the Plan, the
City's Zoning Ordinance or General Plan.
The City of Dublin has adopted no other City-wide or specific environmental plans or policies that
would affect this application:
The site has no recent history of agricultural production and Alameda County adopted a zone change in
1962 from A, Agricultural District to C-l, Retail Business District.
The proposed project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established residential
community, especially a low income or minority community. The proposed project is located along the
eastern border of the Kildara residential community. The proposed project would be compatible with
the adjacent residential use since day care and retail pharmacy uses offer goods and services which
typically benefit a residential community.
Item Ic.
Rite Aid will be vacating a major tenant space within the City's downtown area if the proposed project
is approved. The City has observed over time that businesses which leave major commercial properties
typically result in vacant tenant spaces for extended periods of time. The proposed vacancy will result
in land use incompatibilities with existing land uses within the project vicinity and inconsistencies with
both the San Ramon Road and Dublin Downtown Specific Plans unless mitigation is incorporated into
the project approval process.
The City must find the Rite Aid project, which requires a conditional use permit for the drive-through
pharmacy, consistent with all applicable specific plans. The closure of the existing Rite Aid store is a
component of the proposed project. The existing Rite Aid store is within the Dublin Downtown
Specific Plan area, so the project must be consistent with this plan. The project is inconsistent with the
a policies of the Downtown Specific Plan because the vacancy that will be created by the proposed
project would not: 1) maintain downtown Dublin as a strong regional center; 2) increase the amount of
retail development downtown; and 3) continue the current retailing and service commercial uses in the
land use zone where the current existing store is located.
The proposed Rite Aid project would also conflict with the San Ramon Road Specific Plan policy
which states that any new development shall be compatible with existing residential or other
commercial development located within or adjacent to the Specific Plan area. The existing Rite Aid
site is adjacent to the San Ramon Road Specific Plan area. If the proposed Rite Aid project causes the
current Rite Aid site to become vacant for an extended period of time, the vacancy will be incompatible
with the existing commercial development around the existing Rite Aid site. A vacant tenant space is
not compatible with adjacent retail tenant spaces. For example, a vacant retail tenant space may
negatively impact the image of the entire retail shopping center and cause the center to lose sales.
10
In order to mitigate these land use impacts to a less than significant level, the City will apply a
condition of project approval requiring that the existing Rite Aid site at 7201 Regional Street be re-
leased to a business whose use is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan (i.e., retail and service
commercial uses) prior to issuance of a building permit for the new Rite Aid project.
II. Population and Housing
Environmental Setting:
The City of Dublin's population, as of January 1, 1998, was estimated by the State Department of
Finance to be 27,750. Significant popula, tion growth is anticipated for the City based on planned
residential growth in Eastern Dublin and Western Dublin (Schaefer Ranch).
Project Impacts:
There are no impacts associated with Items IIa. through IIc. Since the project involves the rezoning
and construction of commercial property, the proposed project will not impact housing or population
within the City or the Tri-Valley region. The project will result in increases in employment
opportunities, but on a minor scale. As a result, the project will not alter the location, distribution, or
growth rate of the population in Dublin, or in adjacent jurisdictions.
III. Geologic Problems
Environmental Setting:
The general city of Dublin and the Th-Valley area lie on the east side of the Calaveras Fault within the
San Ramon Valley basin. According to the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone Act, the project site
is located within the "Special Study Zone" at the south-central extent of the San Ramon Valley. The
Calaveras Fault, an active fault, was mapped at the project site. The Calaveras fault zone is a
seismically active member of a family of right-lateral strike-slip faults, including the San Andreas and
Hayward faults. The fault zone at the project site is 1,000 feet wide and the main trace of the Calaveras
Fault may lie beneath San Ramon Road.
Subsurface soils in the area have been characterized as deposits of clay, silt and sand and gravel.
Pro, iect Impacts:
Items llId., file. mi.
There are no impacts associated with Items md., me., and mi.. Due to the location of the project site,
the project would not expose people to potential impacts involving seiche, tsunami or volcanic hazard,
or landslides and mudflows. The project site is undeveloped and relatively flat with no unique
geologic or physical features.
Items ma. mb., mc., inf., mb.
The Calaveras Fault is capable of generating a significant level of ground shaking in the event of a
seismic occurrence. The probability of fault related seismic hazards, such as fault creep, surface
11
rupture, liquefaction, or differential displacement due to faulting, are considered moderate to high at
the project site. In addition, the project site contains presence of near surface soft to medium stiff silty
clay and clayey silt which exhibit low to moderate bearing capacity.
In order to mitigate these land use impacts to a less than significant level, the City will apply conditions
of project approval requiring that a comprehensive geologic and soils report be prepared by a licensed
geologist identifying any geologic or soil hazard zones, appropriate mitigation measures and other
recommendations, prior to building permit approval. The report shall be completed to the satisfaction
of the Alameda County Geologist to assure that a reasonable safety factor is provided. The project
proponent shall also be required to conduct subsurface soil condition testing and to design the proposed
structures according to the Uniform Building Code, and to have a structural engineer check seismic
design parameters.
IV. Water
Environmental Setting:
The project site is located at an elevation of approximately 375 feet above mean sea level. The
majority of the site is relatively flat, although the front or east portion of the site grades lightly to the
east. Surface runoff and storm water on the site in the general vicinity drains into several catch basins
located on the project site and surrounding thoroughfares. The catch basins are drained by the
Alameda County Zone 7 Water Agency Canal and eventually to the San Francisco Bay. Local
waterways or tributaries in the area are the Alamo Creek and Canal, San Ramon Creek and the Martin
Canal (or Martin Canyon Creek).
Groundwater conditions indicate a depth to the first groundwater table of approximately 8 to 9 feet
below ground surface. Regional groundwater flow direction is assumed to be toward the
south/southeast.
The proposed project site is located within an area designated as Zone B on the FIRM (Flood Insurance
Rate Map) Flood Map, which is an area between the identified 100 year and 500 year base flood
elevations.
Project Impacts:
There are no impacts associated with Items IVa. through IVi. Because the project is located within
Zone B of the FIRM Flood Map, the project will not expose people or property to flooding or other
water related hazards. The project will not result in any changes to the quality, rate, or amount of
surface water runoff. In addition, the project will not alter the quantity or rate of flow of ground or
flood waters and it will not reduce public water supplies, or because of its location, change the amount
of surface water in any local water body.
The project proponents must comply with the City's Urban Runoff Program. Since the project will
include parking lots for both the Rite Aid and KinderCare uses, implementation of this program will
protect the drainage system from runoff that may contain hazardous pollutants, such as gasoline, oils,
etc.
12
V. Air Quality
Environmental Setting:
The project site is located within what the Bay Area Air Quality Management District defines as the
Livermore-Diablo Valley, a sheltered inland area surrounded by hills to the west, south and east. Most
of the air flow into the southem portions of the Valley is accomplished through only two gaps in the
hills: the Hayward and Niles canyons. Local wind data show the frequent occurrence of low wind
speed and calm conditions (the latter approximately 23 pement of the time). These local limitations on
the capacity for horizontal dispersion of air pollutants combined with the regional characteristic of
restricted vertical dispersion give the area a high potential for regional air quality problems.
Project Impacts:
There are no significant impacts associated with Items Va. through Vd. Although the proposed project
will generate some new traffic, the increase in air emissions as a result of this new traffic is not
substantial, or significant enough to result in the deterioration of ambient air quality. These additional
vehicles will generate quantities of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gasses, nitrous oxide, sulfur
dioxide and particulate matter (PM10). However, the location of the proposed project would be in
close proximity to the 1-580 Freeway and the proposed West Dublin BART station. The location of the
project would limit the amount of travel to and from the highway ahd the proposed rapid transit station,
thereby minimizing vehicle trips and associated air quality impacts in conformity with the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District's Guidebook "Improving Air Quality Through Local Plans and
Programs". The proposed project will not alter local or regional climate temperatures or air
movements, and it will not emit hazardous air emissions or create objectionable odors.
In terms of construction related impacts, it is anticipated that the future construction of the site might
generate temporary increases in dust and particulate matter caused by site excavation and grading
activities. The City's standard grading ordinance requirements require measures to ensure that these
types of short term construction impacts are minimized.
VI. Transportation/Circulation
Environmental Setting:
The project is located along San Ramon Road, a north-south 4-lane arterial with a center median and 2
lanes in each direction, and Amador Valley Boulevard. The project will have its primary access off of
Amador Valley Boulevard, and secondary access off of San Ramon Road. Currently, Amador Valley
Boulevard from San Ramon Road westward, is a collector street which serves the Strouds shopping
center and terminates at the residential community of Kildara.
Project Impacts:
There are no significant impacts associated with Items Via. through VIg. The proposed project will
generate some additional traffic on Amador Valley Boulevard, especially since the majority of the site
13
has been vacant for some time. However, the project proponent will be responsible for widening
Amador Valley Boulevard to 4 lanes at the intersection with San Ramon Road. This will facilitate
traffic movement on and off San Ramon Road and the project site, thereby mitigating any potential
traffic congestion that may result from the project.
The project proponents are providing adequate on site parking for both the Rite Aid and KinderCare
uses in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Twenty (20) parking spaces are adequate for the
KinderCare project based on research completed for two other KinderCare facilities in the Tri-Valley,
in particular, the Pleasanton facility which has the same children capacity of 180 and the same number
of staff persons as the proposed Dublin facility. The greatest demand for parking at these other
facilities was at 5:05 p.m. when all nineteen (19) stalls were occupied. The proposed KinderCare
facility will be providing more than twenty (20) parking spaces.
The applicant will be required to follow City, County and State design standards regarding roadway
and access design. The applicant will also be required to comply with City and Fire department
standards regarding access for emergency services.
The project proponents will be voluntarily contributing traffic improvement funds in the amount of
$129,880 as part of their project. These funds will be used to mitigate any potential traffic impacts of
the proposed project on surrounding roadways through street improvements.
This project is not in conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. A public
pedestrian/bike trail is located east of the project site, between the project and street curb along San
Ramon Road. Bicycle and pedestrian access is adequate to both project sites. Bike racks will be
required as a standard conditions of approval. In addition, the project proponents will be required to
install a bus turn-out along the project frontage, including a concrete pad, passenger bus shelter and
trash receptacle.
Due to the location and nature of the project, there will be no rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts.
VII. Biological Resources
Environmental Setting:
The majority of the project site is a vacant lot with one single-story commercial building located on the
northerly end of the site. The project site is located within an urbanized area. The site does not contain
any endangered, threatened or rare species of plants or animals; nor does the site contain the following
locally designated species: Bay, Cypress, Maple, Redwood and Sycamore, coastal or other natural
habitat, including wetland habitat. The site does contain seven mature trees. Four of the trees will
remain as part of the landscaping for the new development. The other three eucalyptus and oak trees,
would require removal once the project is constructed.
Pro. iect Impacts:
As a result of the project's environmental setting, there are no significant impacts associated with Items
Vlla. through VIIe. Construction of the proposed project will occur on a vacant lot in an urbanized
14
area and will result in the removal of three trees, one of which is a eucalyptus tree, and the other two
trees are unhealthy oak trees measuring less than 24" in diameter. Field visits to the site have not
identified any endangered, threatened or rare species of animals.
VIII. Energy and Mineral Resources
Environmental Setting:
The majority of the project site is a vacant lot with one single-story commemial building located on the
northerly end of the site. The project site is located within an urbanized area.
Pro, iect Impacts:
There are no significant impacts associated with Items Vma. Through VI]lc. The project will not
conflict with any adopted energy conservation plan and will not result in the loss of availability of a
known and valuable mineral resource. The project will promote efficient use of energy. Since the
project is located adjacent to a residential area, residents of this area will be able to walk to the project
site instead of driving their vehicles.
IX. Hazards
Environmental Setting:
Although the project site has been vacant for some time (except for the existing single story structure
currently existing at the site), one other building previously occupied the project site, which has since
burnt down. Both buildings were constructed prior to 1970.
Project Impacts:
There are no significant impacts associated with Items IX a., IXb., IXc., and IXe. and conditions of
project approval will mitigate the impact associated with Item IXd. to a less than significant level as
follows. Preliminary environmental assessment of the project site recommends that consideration
should be given to the further assessment of the on-site structure(s) regarding asbestos containing
materials and/or lead painted surfaces. The applicant will be required, as a condition of project
approval, to conduct further environmental assessments to determine whether any abatement and/or
remediation of subsurface conditions need to take place. In addition, as part of the site development
review process, proposals for new construction will be conditioned, as necessary, by the Fire, Police,
and the Alameda County Health Department, Hazardous Materials Division for permits, emergency
access requirements, and other concerns. As proposed, the PD land use and development plan does not
show any possible interference with an emergency response plan or evacuation plan.
15
X. Noise
Environmental Setting:
The majority of the project site is a vacant lot with one single-story commercial building located on the
northerly end of the site. The site is adjacent to San Ramon Road, a 4-lane arterial, and Amador Valley
Boulevard, a 2-lane collector street.
Project Impacts:
There are no significant impacts associated with Items Xa. and Xb. The proposed retail pharmacy use
and day care use will not result in significant increases in existing noise levels, or expose individuals to
severe noise levels. It is anticipated that the speaker box for the 24-hour drive-through pharmacy will
create noise impacts on adjacent businesses or residential neighborhood due to the short distance
between the speaker and the driver. However, the project will be conditioned to require that the
speakers observe a noise level which reflects the minimum functional volume and that noise levels
shall not be discernible beyond property lines.
Although KinderCare's playground areas are located along the north, south and west sides of the day
care building and adjacent to the Kildara residential neighborhood, noise impacts will not occur for the
following reasons.
The playground area is not occupied until 8:00 a.m. under normal conditions and only individual age
groups are allowed on the playground at any given time. The play facility will be set back
approximately 60 feet from the nearest residential unit and between that unit and the play facility, there
is a roadway, parking aisle, a 3 foot wide landscape area, and a 6 foot high concrete block wall, which
would make potential noise impacts insignificant. Additionally, KinderCare recently commissioned
Bunton and Associates to conduct a noise study to determine noise levels for a typical KinderCare
playground area. The study indicated that the decibel level was in a non-offensive range.
The day care project will be conditioned to require that noise in the parking lot and play ground areas
be maintained in a manner which minimizes the impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood.
XI. Public Services
Environmental Setting:
The project site is served by the following service providers:
Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by the Alameda County Fire Department which
provides structural fire suppression, rescue, hazardous materials control and public education
services.
· Police Protection. Police protection is provided by the Dublin Police Department which is
headquartered in the Civic Center. The Department, which maintains a sworn staff of 31 officers,
I6
performs a range of public safety services including patrol, investigation, traffic safety and public
education.
· Schools. Educational facilities are provided by the Dublin Unified School District which operates
kindergarten through high school services within the community.
· Maintenance. The City of Dublin provides public facility maintenance, including roads, parks,
street trees and other public facilities. Dublin's Civic Center is located at i00 Civic Plaza.
Other Governmental Services. Other governmental services are provided by the City of Dublin
including community development and building services and related governmental services.
Library service is provided by the Alameda County Library with supplemental funding by the City
of Dublin.
Pro, ject Impacts:
Fire Protection. According to representatives of the Alameda County Fire Department, the proposed
project lies within a one mile radius of a fire station located on Donahue Drive in Dublin. A typical
response time of under 5 minutes is anticipated. As part of the Site Development Review process,
specific fire protection requirements will be imposed on the development to ensure compliance with
applicable provisions of the Uniform Fire Code.
Police Protection. According to representatives of the Police Department, adequate resources
presently exist to serve the proposed development.
Schools. This project is for retail and day care center uses. School fees in accordance to State law
would be charged at building permit issuance.
Maintenance of public facilities including roads. The project has access from two existing streets,
San Ramon Road and Amador Valley Boulevard. The project applicants will be voluntarily
contributing a traffic improvements fund, which will assist in off-setting costs of public roadway
maintenance. This fund will be collected at building permit issuance.
Other governmental services. The City of Dublin charges a public facilities fee for all new
development in the community for the purpose of financing new municipal public facilities needed by
such development. Both applicants will be required to pay a public facilities fee prior to issuance of
building permits.
XII. Utilities and Services Systems
Environmental Setting:
The project site is serviced by the following service providers:
· Electrical and natural gas power: Pacific, Gas and Electric
· Communications: Pacific Bell
17
· Water supply and sewage treatment: Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD)
· Storm Drainage: Alameda County Flood Control District, Zone 7 (Zone 7)
· Solid Waste Disposal: Dublin-Livermore Disposal Company
Project Impacts:
There are no impacts associated with Items Xlla. through XIIg. Utility providers have reviewed the
project and have determined that either the infrastructure exists or a method to fund the infrastructure
has been provided for. DSRSD and Zone 7 will charge standard impact fees.
XIII. Aesthetics
Environmental Setting:
The proposed project is located adjacent to a retail shopping center, a residential neighborhood, and
general commercial uses. The design and architecture theme proposed for the project site will be
compatible with the architecture of these surrounding uses. In addition, as mentioned previously, the
project will result in the existing Rite Aid tenant space to become vacant.
Project Impacts:
According to the City's Zoning Ordinance, all new construction projects are required to go through the
Site Development Review permit process. The project proponents are applying for a Site Development
Review planning permit. As part of that process, architectural compatibility and aesthetic e!ements are
considered. The project proponents will be required to incorporate architectural design and elements
that are compatible with the architecture of surrounding uses, and the project will be conditioned to
screen all unattractive uses, such as roof-top air conditioning equipment, from public view.
The vacancy that would be created at the Albertson's/Mervyn's shopping center if the proposed project
is approved may cause a mn-down appearance of the shopping center that would constitute a
demonstrable negative aesthetic effect. In order to mitigate this impact to a less than significant level,
the City will apply a condition of project approval requiring that the existing site be re-leased to a
business whose use is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan (i.e., retail and service commercial
uses) prior to issuance of a building permit for the new Rite Aid project.
The proposed project will not result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public
from the adjacent roadways, in particular, the 1-680 Freeway.
XIV. Cultural Resources
Environmental Setting:
The majority of the project site is a vacant lot with one single-story commercial building located on the
northerly end of the site. The project site is also located within an urbanized area.
18
Project Impacts:
There are no impacts associated with Items XIVa. through XIVd. Although currently vacant, a large
portion of the site had been previously developed. There are no known cultural resources existing at
the site.
XV. Recreation
Environmental Setting:
The project is located within Dublin's downtown and is adjacent to a residential area. The KinderCare
portion of the project will be providing much needed day care services within the City. The day care
facility will also provide recreational facilities for the children.
Project Impacts:
There are no impacts associated with Items XVa. or XVb. The project will not have a significant effect
on the existing recreational facilities nor will it create a demand for additional recreational
opportunities since the day care facility will be providing their own recreational facilities and the Rite
Aid project is a retail commercial project that will not create a demand for additional recreational
facilities. In addition, the City implements a public facilities fee pr6gram for all new development in
the City. The fee pays for improvements to parks and other public fac.ilities in the City.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
Introduction
This report presents the results of TJKM's traffic impact analysis of the proposed Rite Aid Development
in the City of Dublin. The proposed project consists of a retail dru~general variety store with drive
through windows for prescription drop off and pick-up service. A childcare center will be located
adjacent to the drug store. There am 71 parking spaces provided for the drug store and 36 spaces for the
childcare center. The site is located on the northwest corner at the intersection of San Ramon Road and
Amador Valley Boulevard. The study area is showr; in Figure 1.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the traffic impacts of the proposed development on the nearby
street system. The study approach was to determine if any nearby intersections are projected to operate
at worse than Level of Service (LOS) D and to determine what mitigation would be necessary if LOS
standards are exceeded. Five intersections were analyzed for this study. These intersections are listed
below and shown in Figure 1.
I. San'Ramon Road/Silvergate Drive
2. San Ramon Road/Amador Valley Boulevard
3. Regional Street/Amador Valley Boulevard/Shamrock Center
4. Donohue Drive/Amador Valley Boulevard/Target Center
5. San Ramon Road/Dublin Boulevard
Three near-term scenarios were addressed in the study. The near-term scenarios include approved
projects that may be built and fully occupied within the next 10 y6ars. The lane geometry evaluated and
recommended for this study is for the near term. The following near-term scenarios were addressed in
the study:
1. Existing Conditions - Current traffic volumes and roadway conditions.
Existing plus Approved (Background) - Existing land use conditions plus future traffic from
approved but unbuilt or not fully utilized developments near the project in the City of Dublin.
These developments include Hansen Hill Ranch and Schaefer Ranch.
3. Existing plus Approved plus Project - Identical to the Existing plus Approved scenario but with
traffic added from the development of the proposed project.
Summary
Non-Project Requirements
Intersections that operate (or are projected to operate) at LOS D or worse (volume-to-capacity ratio
exceeds 0.90) are deemed in n~ed of mitigati0n. All five intersections are projected to operate at
acceptable levels of service.
Project Requirements
Internal circulation, project access and pedestrian pathways proposals should be subject to the evaluation
criteria described in this report.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Existing Transportation Network
The proposed project and the surrounding area are illustrated in Figure i. Important roadways serving
the project area are discussed below.
Interstate 580 (1-580) is a six-lane east-west freeway that connects Dublin with local cities such as
Livermore and Pleasanton as well as regional origins and destinations such as Oakland, Hayward and
Tracy. In the vicinity of the proposed project,.I-580 carries approximately 177,000 vehicles per day
(Caltrans' 1997 Traffic Volumes on California State Highways) with interchanges at San Ramon
Road/Foothill Road, Interstate 680, Dougherty Road/Hopyard Road, Hacienda Drive, and Tassajara
Road/Santa Rita Road.
Interstate 680 is a six-lane, north-south freeway that connects Dublin with local cities such as Sunol and
Walnut Creek as well as regional origins and destinations to the south, such as Fremont and San Jose. To
the North, it terminates at its interchange with Interstate 80 near the City of Fairfield. In the vicinity of
the proposed project, 1-680 carries approximately 136,000 vehicle per day (Caltrans' 1997 Traffic
volumes on California State Highways) with interchanges at Alcosta Boulevard, Interstate 580, and
Stoneridge Drive.
Amador Valley Boulevard is a major east-west arterial with four travel lanes between San Ramon Road
and Village Parkway with retail and commercial businesses on both sides of the street. The segment west
of San Ramon Road is a two-lane road that provides access to retail uses and the Kildara condominium
complex. Amador Valley Boulevard east of Village Parkway is a two-lane street with residential housing
fronting on both sides. Average daily traffic (ADT) on Amador Valley Boulevard varies from 23,000
vehicle per day (vpd) between San Ramon Road and Village Parkway and 11,500 vpd east of Village
Parkway.
Dublin Boulevard is a major east-west arterial with six travel lanes through retail areas between the 1-680
undercrossing and San Ramon Road. Between San Ramon Road and Hansen Drive there are four travel
Ianes with commemial uses fronting both sides. West of Hansen Drive, Dublin Boulevard is a two-lane
road that connects with Inspiration Drive. Dublin Boulevard provides access to downtown Dublin and
the various commercial uses between San Ramon Road and Dougherty Road. ADT west of Silvergate
Drive is approximately 2,000 vpd, 7,000 vpd between Silvergate and San Ramon Road, and 21,000 vpd
east of San Ramon Road.
San Ramon Road is a major north-south arterial with four travel lanes through residential area bet~veen
Alcosta Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard. There are six travel lanes south of Amador Valley
Boulevard with commercial and retail uses on both sides of the street. San Ramon Road provides the
primary access for residents of western Dublin to 1-580 and the City of Pleasanton to the south, and to the
City of San Ramon to the north. San Ramon Road also provides indirect access to 1-680 via the 1-580/I-
680 interchange or via the 1-680/Alcosta Boulevard interchange in San Ramon. ADT on San Ramon
Road north of Dublin Boulevard is 28,000 vpd, and 51,000 vpd south of Dublin Boulevard.
Silvergate Drive is a major residential collector street between Dublin Boulevard and San Ramon Road.
It runs north-south between Dublin Boulevard and Creekside Drive then east-west to San Ramon Road.
The north-south segment is a two-lane road with a two-way left turn lane whereas the east-west segment
has four travel lanes. ADT on Silvergate Drive south of Creekside Drive is 3,500 vpd, and 5,500 vpd east
of Creekside Drive.

TlKMTran~nortat~on ~'~nq~l~tlr~n - Feh~mrv4 1999
Regional Street is a north-south access road with two travel lanes and a 2~way left turn lane that serves
the commercial driveways on both sides of the street. The ADT on Regional Street is approximately
I0,000 vpd.
Donohue Drive is a 2-lane minor residential collector street, with an ADT of approximately 1,600 vpd.
Level of Service Analysis Methodology
Peak hour intersection conditions are reported as volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratios with corresponding
levels of service. Level of service ratings are qualitative descriptions of intersection operations and are
reported using an A through F letter rating system to describe travel delay and congestion. Level of
Service (LOS) A indicates free flow conditions with little or no delay, while LOS F indicates jammed
conditions with excessive delays and long back-ups.
The operating conditions at all study intersections were evaluated using the Intersection Capacity
Utilization (ICU) methodology adopted by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). This
method provides an overall intersection level of service. Appendix A contains a detailed description of
the methodology.
Impact Criteria
The City of Dublin policy is to have its roadways and intersections operate at a minimum of LOS D. The
policy requires that corrective action be taken to improve conditions so that no roadway segment or
intersection fall below this threshold due to proposed development. Therefore, in terms of traffic impacts
in this study, any roadway or intersection that is shown to drop below the LOS D minimum standard will
need to have mitigation measures identified as a part of the approval process for the project.
Results of Level of Service Analysis
Turning movement counts for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours for all existing study intersections were
conducted by TJKM in October 1998. Figure 2 summarizes the existing peak hour tuming movements
for all the study intersections.
Table I summarizes the results of the intersection analysis for existing conditions. The detailed
calculations of the level of service analysis are contained in Appendix B. Under Existing Conditions, ali
study intersections operate at acceptable levels of service. The intersection of San Ramon Road/Dublin
Boulevard operates with the highest volume-to-capacity ratio (V/C) of 0.72 (LOS C) during the p.m. peak
hour.

IMPACTS OF APPROVED PROJECTS
The following projects are included in the Existing plus Approved Scenario: 1) Hansen Hill Ranch, 2)
Schaefer Ranch. Approved projects consist of developments that are either under construction, are built
but not fully occupied, or that have not been built but have final development plan approval.
Hansen Hill Ranch
The partially occupied Hansen Hill Ranch project consists of 250 single-family detached homes on 147
acres. Currently, 88 of the homes are occi~pied, leaving 162 (=250-88) units still be built and occupied.
The site is located just west of Silvergate Drive and north of Hansen Drive. Two new access roads (Bay
Laurel Street and Inspiration Drive) have been built as part of this development. Bay Laurel Street is an
east-west residential collector that connects Silvergate Drive with Inspiration Circle. Inspiration Drive is
a north-south collector that terminates at Dublin Boulevard and provides access to Valley Christian
Center and School, as well as Hansen Hill.
The yet to be built and occupied portion of Hansen Hill Ranch is expected to generate 1,550 daily trips,
122 during the a.m. peak hour and 164 during the p.m. peak hour. The trip generation is shown below.

* Entire development consists of 250 units with 88 units currently occupied.
Trip distribution and assignment for the development are taken from Environmental bnpact Report (EIR)
on the Hansen Hill Ranch Project, finalized by El? Associates in May 1988.
Schaefer Ranch
The Schaefer Ranch development consists of 400 single-family detached homes and 74 town-home units.
10.7 acre of the site will be divided equally for retail and office space development. The site is located
at the west end of Dublin Boulevard. The proposed development is expected to generate 8,267 daily
trips, 569 during the a.m. peak hour and 902 during the p.m. peak hour. The trip generation and
distribution calculations for Schaefer Ranch are taken from EIRfor Schaefer Ranch project/General Plan
Amendment, finalized by WPM Incorporated in April 1996.
Proposed Future Transportation ImproVements
Planning efforts for west Dublin are currently dynamic. Known long-term transportation improvements
planned for the area are listed below:
Dublin Boulevard/Hansen Drive: The signal for this all-way stop is being designed.
Dublin Boulevard/Silvergate Drive: This 3-Iegged all-way stop intersection will be signalized.

Dublin Boulevard: Dublin Boulevard will be widened from 2 to 4 travel lanes between Hansen Drive
and Silvergate Drive.
Existing Plus Approved Projects Traffic Impacts
The sum total of Existing plus Approved traffic volumes at the study intersections are shown in Figure 3.
This scenario is considered to be the "Background" scenario. To allow for comparison with the project
scenario, the level of service analysis for all of the study intersections were conducted using the
Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology.
The results of the level of service analysis for the Existing plus Approved Scenario are shown in
Table 113[. Under this scenario, all intersections are projected to operate at acceptable levels of service.
The detailed calculations of the level of service analysis are contained in Appendix C.

IMPACTS OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Project Des~:ription
The proposed project consists of a retail druffgeneral variety store with drive through windows for
prescription drop offand pick-up service. A childcare center will be located adjacent to the drag store.
There are 71 parking spaces provided for the drag store and 36 spaces for the kindergarten. Figure 4
illustrates the preliminary site plan for the proposed project. The site is located on the northwest comer.
at the intersection of San Ramon Road/Amador Valley Boulevard. Access to the proposed development
will be provided by a right turn in/right turn out driveway on San Ramon Road and a full access driveway
on Amador Valley Boulevard.
Trip Generation
The proposed development is expected to generate 2,320 daily trips, 180 during the a.m. peak hour and
315 during the p.m. peak hour. The trip generation assumptions for the project are based on information
contained in Trip Generation, Sixth Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

Trip Assignment
Project trip distribution assumptions were developed based on the existing travel patterns, and knowledge
of the area. The primary access for the proposed project will be the driveway on Amador Valley
Boulevard. Figure 5 illustrates the trip distribution assumptions for the proposed project. The project
trips were assigned to the study intersections using the trip distribution assumptions to forecast traffic
volumes.
Level of Service Analysis (Existing plus Approved plus Project)
Total volumes at the study intersections are shown in Figure 6 and the detailed calculations of the level
of service analysis are contained in Appendix C.
The results of the level of service analysis for the Existing plus Approved Scenario are shown in
Table V. Under this scenario, all intersections are projected to operate at acceptable levels of service.

PROJECT ACCESS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION
Project Access
Access to the project site will be provided from both San Ramon Road and Amador Valley Boulevard.
There will be a right turn in/fight turn out driveway on San Ramon Road approximately 200 feet north of
the San Ramon Road/Amador Valley Boulevard intersection. Full-access driveway will be located on
Amador Valley Boulevard approximately 350 feet west of the intersection.
Internal Circulation
The drive-through traffic for prescription drop-off and pick-up will be separated with a three foot raised
concrete median from the Kinder Care parking lot. STOP signs and appropriate pavement markings as
well as R-I 1 (DO NOT ENTER) sig~s should be installed at both sides of the immediate access where
the drive-through traffic will be exiting. The comer radius of the raised median to the right of this access
should be 25 feet minimum to accommodate prescription traffic exiting right.
Westbound traffic from the south travel way of the Rite Aid parking lot approaching the travel way that
leads directly to the driveway on Amador Valley Boulevard should be stop-controlled. The proposed
location for the trash enclosure will cause a sight distant problem between drivers approaching the
enclosure from the west and the south.
Based on the parking requirement of one space per 300 square feet, there will be a shortage of 12 parking
spaces for Kinder Care. To account for this shortfall, the develop.er proposes to use 15 of Rite Aid's
"excess" par'king spaces.
The use of Rite Aid parking spaces by Kinder Care will result in pedestrian crossing prescription traffic
and the travel way that leads directly to the driveway on Amador Valley Boulevard.
The three handicapped parking spaces that are located adjacent to the pedestrian walkway between Rite
Aid and Kinder Care should be relocated. There will be potential conflict between the handicapped
access and pedestrians.
Pedestrians crossing at the proposed walkway location will be subjected to up to 4 lanes of traffic: I)
southbound travel way, 2) northbound travel way, 3) southbound prescription drop-off, and 4)
southbound prescription pick-up. Of special concern is the southbound prescription traffic, since
westbound pedestrians headed towards Kinder Care may not expect a vehicle to approach from their
immediate right. To improve sight distance, the proposed walkway should be relocated approximately 16
feet south relative to the location as shown on the site plan. The two far-left parking spaces adjacent to
the southwestern corner of the Rite Aid building should also be converted to a raised concrete island to
accommodate pedestrians crossing the walkway. A raised concrete island should be constructed at the
western end of the walkway. All raised concrete islands joining the pedestrian walkway should have
handicapped accessible ramps installed. Standard 30-inch W54 (Pedesirian Crossing Symbol) signs
should be installed at the proposed walkway facing prescription traffic.
The curb on the eastern side of Amador Valley Boulevard driveway should be extended approximately 9
feet to the west so that it lines up with the concrete median separating prescription traffic and Kinder
Care parking area. The mouth at the access should remain the same width as shown on the proposed site
plan.
Caltrans' standard lane drop signing and markings (199 Traffic Manual, page 6-39) should be installed
Traffic Study for the Proposed Rite Aid Development Page 14
TJKM Transportation Consolation February 4, 1999
on the v,,est leg of San Ramon Road/Amador Valley Boulevard facing westbound traffic approaching the
Rite Aid/Kinder Care access. However, separation between the R-18 and W-74 signs can be 200 feet.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Access
Existing pedestrian and bicycle access to the proposed project is adequate. The west side of San Ramon
Road has a designated pedestrian and bicycle trail between Alcosta Boulevard and Dublin Boulevard.
This trail passes adjacent to the proposed project site. Both sides of Amador Valley Boulevard have
designated bicycle lanes extending from San Ramon Road to Donohue Drive. The site plans calls for a
4-feet wide sidewalk along the north side of Amador Valley Boulevard which should be adequate to
serve Rite Aid, Kinder Cam, and the condominium complex.
Impact on Adjacent Community and Businesses
The developer will widen Amador Valley Boulevard east of the project driveway from 26 feet curb-to-
curb to 48 feet, which will allow for a right turn only lane into the driveway. West of the project
driveway, Amador Valley Boulevard will be widened to 36 feet curb-to-curb, which is wide enough to
accommodate on-street parking along the Kinder Care frontage.
Access into and out of the condominiums as well as the retail businesses on the south side of Amador
Valley Boulevard will experience minimal impact from the proposed project. One travel lane in each
direction will be added to this section of Amador Valley Boulevard from San Ramon Road to the project
driveway. The new travel lanes will essentially absorbed the traffic generated by the proposed
development.
The Dublin Fishery is located to the north of the proposed project. One of its two driveways from San
Ramon Road is shared with the project. Them are no significant changes proposed to alter this driveway
and the access to Dublin Fishery should be unaffected.

RECOM2VIENDATIONS
Intersection Mitigation
No mitigation is necessary for the study intersections since they are projected to operate at LOS C or
better.
A~cess, Circulation and Parking
· STOP sig-as, and R- 11 (DO NOT ENTER) signs should be installed at both sides of the
immediate access where the drive-through traffic will be exiting.
· The corner radius of the raised median to the right of access where the drive-through traffic will
be exiting should be 25 feet minimum.
· STOP sign should be installed for westbound traffic from the south travel way of the Rite Aid
parking lot approaching the travel way that leads directly to the driveway on Amador Valley
Boulevard.
· Relocate the three handicapped parking spaces that are located adjacent to the pedestrian
walkway between Rite Aid and Kinder Care.
· Standard 30-inch W54 (Pedestrian Cro?sing Symbol) signs should be installed by the proposed
walkway facing prescription traffic.
· Relocate pedestrian walkway to 16 feet south relative to the location as shown on the site plan.

· All concrete islands with direct access to the walkway should have handicapped access ramps.
· Replace the two far-lefi parking spaces adjacent to the southwestern corner of the Rite Aid
building with a raised concrete island to accommodate pedestrians crossing the walkway.
· Extend curb on the eastern side of Amador Valley Boulevard driveway approximately 9 feet to
the west so that it lines up with the concrete median separating prescription traffic and Kinder
Care parking area. The mouth at the access should remain the same width as shown on the
proposed site plan.
· Install Caltrans' standard lane drop sig-ning and marldngs on the west leg of San Ramon
Road/Amador Valley Boulevard facing westbound traffic approaching the Rite Aid/Kinder Care
access.

Description of the Level of Service Methodology

.60 DESCRIPTION OF INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS
CCTA SIGNALIZED METHODOLOGY
Background
The CC-FA intersection capacity analysis methodolog-y is described in detail in thc Technical
Procedures Manual of the CC'FA, January, 1991. It is identical to the Cimular 212 Planning
methodology except that the lane capacity has been increased from 1500 vph to between 1650 to
t800 vph based on saturation :[low measurements taken at four intersections in contra Costa
County. (See roi/owing Table 9 from the Technical Procedures Manual.)
On average, saturation flow rates for lef~-tum lanes were over ten percent lower than for tlarough
lanes. However, insufficient data was collected to provide statistical.., accuracy for the averages.
Thus, saturation flow rotes for through lanes are'equal to thosi f0r mm lanes.
This methodology determines the critical movement for each phase of traffic. It then sums the
critical volume-to-capacity ratio by phase to determine the intersection volume-to-capacity ratio.
Circular 212, on the other hand, sums the critical movement volumes themselves and compares
them to the total capacity of the intersection to determine, in effect, theS, olume-to-capacity ratio
of the intersection as a whole.
Level of Service
The volume-to-capacity ratio is related to level of service (LOS). The following level of service
for Sig-nalized Intersections depicts the relationship between the volume-to-capacity ratio and level
of service. An intersection operating at capacity would operate at LOS E. Level of Service F is
not possible for existing conditions, but can be forecasted for future conditions when volume
projections exceed existing capacities.
Input Data
The intersection capacity work sheets use a code to identify different lane configurations. This
nomenclature is described on the following Description of Lane Configurations. l~ght mm on
red adjustments are accounted for as well as unequal distribution of mm volumes in double turn
lanes. For more information, see Circular 212 and the CCTA Technical Procedures Manual.

City of Dublin Planning Commission
Carol R. Cirelli, Senior Planner
100 Civic Plaza
PO Box 2340
Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Ms Cirelli,
I reside at 7403 Cronin Circle in the the Kildara Community. I reviewed plans for the
proposed Rite Ald/KinderCare Project with you on February 12, 1999. The overall
benefits to the community at large in providing essential services are recognized.
However, at this time I oppose the project as it stands for reasons which I will outline in
this letter.
The high volume of car traffic and congestion will negatively impact our community with
increased use of Kildara's private roads as a thoroughfare to access the western area of
Dublin. It is expected that drivers will drive through Kildara property to avoid increased
traffic congestion at San Rarnon Valley Road and Dublin Boulevard. This will lead to
increased maintenance costs and noise levels from car traffic as well as security and safety
concerns for homeowners. We anticipate that increased car traffic through our property
could result in unsafe dangerous situations for the children in our community.
Noise will result from the four outdoor playgrounds which I understand will serve 150
children daily and in addition to that created by delivery trucks providing service to Rite
Aid on a 24 hr basis. The noise will significantly affect the quality of life for Kildara
homeowners.
The existing landscaping on the north side of Amador Valley Boulevard which consists of
lawn and oleander bushes for a distance of approximately 200 ft has been maintained by
the Kildara Homeowners Association. It appears this landscaping will be removed with
the widening of Amador Valley Boulevard.
There are possible alternatives to resolve these important issues. The following conditions
must be met by the City of Dublin and Rite Aid to make this project acceptable for the
Kildara homeowners:
* Installment of four 12 fi wide x 6 t~ high traffic security swing gates and two 3
ft wide x 6 ft high man gates located at Cronin Circle and Amador Valley
Boulevard cul-de-sac including approx. 80 L.F. 6 ft high fencing. All materials
should be same as existing fencing at pool area. These swing gates will require
extensive electrical and electronic systems to facilitate access in and out of the
Kildara property. General maintenance of these gates by Rite Aid is requested.
* Installment of one 24 ~ wide x 6 f~ high traffic security sliding gate
and one 3 ft wide x 6 f~ high man gate located at Cronin Circle and Donlon Way
cul-de-sac including approx. 50 L.F. 6 ft high fencing. Materials used same as
stated above. This sliding gate will require extensive electrical and electronic
systems to facilitate access in and out of the Kildara property. General
maintenance of these gates by Rite Aid is requested.
* Relocation of existing landscaping on north side of Amador Valley Boulevard
within Kildara property at locations designated by homeowners.
* Increase height of existing concrete wall an additional 2 fr to decrease noise
level.
* Placement of large trees such as evergreens along east side of existing concrete
wall in 10 f~ dead space between playground and wall to buffer noise.
Thank you for your help in maintaining the quality of life for Kildara homeowners.
We look forward to further discussion at the upcoming planning commission
meeting on March 9, 1999.
We are attaching a signature list of homeowners who support the concerns
outlined in this letter.

Re: Negative Declaration
Rite Aid/Kinder Care
PA 98-038
Dear Ms. Cirelli,
As a homeowner in Kildara I have concerns about some important issues in reference to
the Initial Study for PA 98-038 Rite Aid/KinderCare Special Plan Amendment/PD
Rezone/Conditional Use PenmtYSite Development Review.
The Negative Declaration makes for interesting reading. In general, I am of the opinion
not nearly enough attention has been paid to the impact of this project on our community
and our property values.
The following are some highlights culled for the report and some comments.
PAGE 3 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The report states, "There are no environmental factors that would be potentially affected
by this project." None of the boxes are checked. Shouldn't the boxes indicating
"PopulatioM-Iousing, Air Quality, Transportation Circulation, Noise and Aesthetics" be
checked? From our point of view at Kildara all of these issues am of concern.
PAGE 4 LAND USE AND PLANNING - ITEM E
The report asks, "Would the proposal disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an
established community?" The report indicates no impact. This ignores the potential
impact on the following:
Road surfaces and attendant expenses for homeowners of Kildare due to
increased traffic.
Noise -kids in playground from 6:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.mand more traffic.
Air pollution from increased traffic.
Traffic safety
PAGE 4 GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
Will there be grading elevation issues that could cause flooding or erosion?. 26,500
square feet of building and or nearly 3 acres of surface covered by buildings and parking
lots.
This is likely to change in an exaggerated way:
a) absorption rates
b) drainage patterns
c) rate and amount of surface runoff
All of these are subject to exposing people and property to water hazards such as
flooding.
PAGE 5 AIR QUALITY
The report states there would be "no impact" on Air Quality. Narrow streets within the
Kildara complex will experience increased traffic and with it increased air pollution
including known carcinogens such as MTBE, and carbon monoxide.
PAGE 5 TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
The report states, 1 ) Item a) "No impact" on "increased vehicle trips or traffic
congestion"
2) Item b) "No impact" on "hazards to safety...(eg sharp curves or
dangerous intersections)"
Kildare is full of sharp curves and dangerous intersections.
PAGE 7 NOISE
Report states the proposal will have "no impact" on increases in existing noise levels or
exposure of people to severe noise levels.
What about 180 children at Kinder Care playgrounds and 24 hours of Rite Aide traffic
and delivery trucks?
PAGE 7 PUBLIC SERVICES - PROJECT IMPACTS
The report states there would be "no impact" on the need for new or altered services in
Fire Protection,
Police Protection
Schools,
Maintenance of public facilities including roads,
Other governmental services.
Will not increased traffic force altered services of police, maintenance of roads etc.
PAGE 7 AESTHETICS
In item c, the report states there would be "no impact" on the aesthetics of light or glare.
What about parking lot lights and store signs? How will they not change the aesthetics?
03/03/1999 0?:39 925-§56-0327 TECLARK PAGE 03
PAGE 8 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The report states there w/ll be "no impact" on item d). "Does the project have
environmental effects which Will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?" It is our contention the project, without concessions will
have both a direct and indirect adverse effect on human beings by increased traffic, safety
noise, and expenses.
PAGE 10 PARAGRAPH 4
This paragraph does not address the disruption caused by increased traffic through the
complex, safety consideration, road maintenance, air pollution, increased noise, light and
sign aesthetics and ~orm water drainage.
PAGE 13 PROJECT IMPACTS
Whle the report recognizes the project will generic "some new traffic" it does
address the new traffic Kildara will experience_
In paragraph 3 the report addresses construction issues. Will there be any special
consideration made during constmction to minimize "dust and particulate matter" in
vivw of the close proximity of our homes7
In para4graph 4 the report states, "Amador Valley Blvd. from San Ramon Rd Westward is
a collector street ......... terminates at the residential community of Kildara." If only this
were true. It does not "term/hate'. The streets of oar residential community have been
and will increasingly be used to enter at this so called termination point, travel our streets
and exit on Donlon way in order to avoid the busy intersection of San Ramon Road and
Dublin Blvd. The reverse is also true. Increasing traffic will enter on Donlon Way and
exit at Amador Valley Road.
PAGE 16
Ln. paragraph 5 reference is made to the effect that "the day care project will be
conditioned to require that noise in the parking lot and play ground areas be maintained
in a manner which minimizes the impact on the residential neighborhood". (Kildara)
What will these conditions be? How will they be implemented? Who will be
responsible?
I, and other home owners of Kildaxe look forward to your comments and answers to our
questions ot the meeting scheduled for March 9th.
