The applicant, Dan Stoddazd of HiTech Construction Management, LLC, is requesting approval of a
Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to allow the establishment of a feline housing
facility on .16 acres of land owned by the Dublin Historical Preservation Association. The purpose of the
facility would be to house up to 50 adult felines. Wastes from the felines would be used to test different
formulations of kitty litter prepared by Clorox. The facility would be housed in a 24 foot wide by 60-foot
long temporary building adjacent to the Dublin Creek Kennel. This facility is an expansion of an existing
24 cat colony in the main building of the kennel. Two staff members from the kennel will operate the
feline housing facility. The site of the facility is currently vacant.
BACKGROUND:
Clorox has been operating a cat colony at the Dublin Creek Kennel for one year. They are seeking to
expand the facility from 24 to 50 animals. The Dublin Historical Preservation Association (DHPA) will
lease the Clorox Services Company the property on which to place its feline housing facility. The term of
the lease is 10 years. The City received a letter from the DHPA dated June 23, 1999 approving the layout
of the facility.

ANALYSIS:
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to determine whether the proposed use is appropriate for the
site and if conditions of approval aze required. Issues that aze commonly addressed include access to the
site, land use compatibility and site design. The Planning Commission must make the following findings
before a Conditional Use Permit may be granted:
1. The proposed use and related structures is compatible with other land uses, transportation
and service facilities !n the vicinity
2. The proposed use will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or
working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare;
3. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood;
4. 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;
S. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and
related structures being proposed;
6. The proposed use will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance
standards established for the C-2 General Commercial Zoning District in which it is to be
located and,
7. The approval of the Conditional Use Permit will be consistent with the Dublin General
Plan.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ISSUES:
The primary land use issues associated with locating a feline housing facility at the south end of Donlon
Way include: 1) compatibility with adjacent uses, 2) care of the felines and 3) pazking and traffic.
Compatibility with adjacent uses:
The feline housing facility will be compatible with the adjacent Dublin Creek Kennels and Heritage Pazk
and with the Heritage Park Office Center on the East side of Donlon Way. The facility would be attended
from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Care of the felines:
The felines in the facility aze typically obtained from shelters or other kennels and would otherwise have
been euthanized. The cats aze well treated and have more space per cat (5+ square feet) than the National
Academy of Sciences requirement of three to four feet. A veterinarian performs a health screening when
the felines are taken into the facility and provides ongoing health care. Kennel staff will be available 24
hours a day, seven days a week to care for the cats. If a cat develops a health problem, it is isolated and
given health caze. Just like any pet, a cat would only be euthanized if it were in too much pain to enjoy
life. Certain cats suffer kidney problems and cannot be used for the purposes of kitty litter testing. These
cats are given health care and are found a home. If and when the facility closes all of the felines will be
found a home.
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
The purpose of a Site Development review is to promote orderly, attractive and harmonious site and
structural development compatible with individual site environmental constraints and surrounding
properties, and to resolve major project-related issues including, but not limited to: building location,
architectural and landscape design and theme; vehicular and pedestrian access and on-site circulation,
parking and traffic impacts. The Site Development Review process also seeks to ensure compliance with
development regulations and the requirements of zoning districts, including but not limited to, setbacks,
heights, parking, landscaping and fences, accessory structures, and signage. The Planning Commission
must make the following findings before a Site Development Review may be granted:
1. Approval of this application is consistent with the purpose and intent of this Chapter.
2. Any approval complies with the policies of the General Plan, with any applicable Specifac
Plans, with the development regulations or performance standards established for the
zoning district in which it is located, and with all other requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
3. The approval will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working
in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
4. The approved site development, including site layout, structures, vehicular access,
circulation and parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety and similar elements, has
been designed to provide a desirable environment for the development.
~. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the approved
development.
6. Impacts to views are addressed.
7. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed.
8. Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and guality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors,
screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been
incorporated into the project and as conditions of approval in order to insure compatibility
of this development with the development's design concept or theme and the character of
adjacent buildings, neighborhoods, and uses.
9. 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.
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW ISSUES:
The primary site development issues associated with the physical development of the project include: 1) is
the design of the structure, and 2) parking and traffic.
Design of the structure. The feline housing facility will be housed in a 24 foot wide by 60-foot long
prefabricated building. The building will be located adjacent Interstate 580 and will not be visible from
the adjacent properties
Parking and Traffic:
Dublin Creek Kennels has seven striped parking spaces. More pazking is available along the driveway.
Two additional parking space will be provided adjacent the new feline housing facility. The parking is
sufficient for the existing facility, the two additional staff for the feline housing facility and to provide
space for the daily trips from the Clorox reseazch facility in Pleasanton. There will be very little traffic
generated by this facility. The Developer has submitted a letter stating that they will voluntarily pay
$816.00 to pay for road improvements prior to the issuance of the first building permit.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING:
The project is on land that is designated Parks/Public Recreation. This designation is typically applied to
publicly owned parks and recreation facilities. The land on the north side of Dublin Creek is the site of
the Old Murray School and of Saint Raymond's Church and is owned by the Dublin Historic Preservation
Association (DHPA). The land within this designation lying south of Dublin Creek is the site of the
existing privately owned Dublin Creek Kennel, and a 1.115 acre vacant lot owned by the DHPA. The
plan designation was placed over the kennel when the General Plan was adopted in 1985 because it was
believed that a low intensity animal-related commercial use like the existing kennel would be compatible
with the adjacent historic uses than a commercial designation. The minor expansion of the kennel for this
project would also be consistent with the General Plan. The existing kennel and proposed feline housing
facility are consistent with the requirements of the A -Agricultural Zoning District if this Conditional
Use Permit is granted.
OTHER DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW:
The project has been reviewed by the Building Department, the Public Works Department, Police
Services and Alameda County Fire Department. The concerns raised are addressed in the conditions of
approval as outlined in the draft resolution (Attachment 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been Found to be Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
according to Section 15061(b)(3). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project
may have an impact on the environment because the proposed 24 foot wide by 60 foot long feline housing
facility will occupy disturbed and graded land adjacent to Highway I-580 and adjacent to the Dublin
Creek Kennels in an urbanized and developed part of the City of Dublin. The felines will be isolated
within the housing Facility and will have no impacts to the surrounding area. There is no possibility that
significant environmental impacts would occur from this use. The Developer has submitted a letter
stating that they will voluntarily pay $816.00 to pay for road improvements prior to the issuance of the
first building permit.
CONCLUSION:
The Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review processes evaluate proposed projects in
relation to certain criteria and subject to conditions to determine if the project is appropriate for a specific
site. The feline housing facility is in an appropriate use given its location adjacent to an existing kennel,
its separation from other uses and its consistency with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.

Proposed Feline Housing Facility
Purpose and Use. The purpose of the proposed facility would be to house up to 50
mature cats in a double wide portable unit, in a normal living environment to aid in the
development of improved cat litter products. Both liquid and solid cat waste would be
collected by training the cats to relieve themselves over collection pans. This collected
waste would then be used to treat test litter products. For other tests, cats would use the
test litters directly. The facility and cats would be owned by the Clorox Services
Company, but would be managed and operated by Dublin Creek Kennels, under a
service contract with Clorox.
This facility represents an expansion of the existing cat colony, which is managed by
DCK for Clorox; the existing colony is housed within the Dublin Creek Kennel building,
and currently includes 24 cats. Because of space limitations, the current operation
includes care and housing of the cats and waste collection only; litter treatment is
performed at an alternate site.
A local veterinarian monitors the cats' health and well being. All cats receive an annual
suite of vaccinations. If a cat becomes ill, it is isolated (in a large cage) from the
remainder of the colony until it regains full health.
Description. The portable unit would include the following:
Three cat colony rooms, providing approximately 5.1 ft.2 of living space per
cat; the National Academy of Sciences, Laboratory Animal Management
recommendations call for 3.0 - 4.0 ft.2 per cat. Each colony room will have
windows with "sitting shelves" for the cats, as well as numerous climbing
structures, plentrful bedding areas, etc. All cats are maintained on
veterinarian-recommended diets, suitable for their age and level of activity.
An outdoor, fenced and covered play area will be accessible from each of the
two colony rooms. Fencing/containment will be designed to protect the cats
from feral cats or other animals that may be in the area. The outside play
areas will provide an additional 4.3 ft.2 per cat.
A litter treatment and testing area, to include a sink, dishwasher,
washer/dryer unit, and accessible restroom to facilitate good housekeeping
practices both in the testing and cat colony areas. This area would also
include a workstation. All feline waste handling in this area would be done
according tojob-safe procedures developed and tested over a 15-year period
at the Clorox Technical Center.
Source of Cats. Members of the feline colony are typically former "homeless" cats,
either from individuals seeking a home for a cat, referrals from local veterinarians, or
referrals from kennel customers. In many cases, the adoption of these cats into the "life
of luxury' in this colony saves them from likely euthanasia.
Employees. Two full-time technicians would be hired by DCK to operate this facility,
which would be managed by Susan Hagan (co-owner of DCK). One to two employees
would be on-site at the cattery during the approximate hours of 7 am to 5 pm, 7 days per
week. (Hours of operation would be similar to those of the adjacent kennel.)
Welfare of Emplovees/Public Health/General Welfare. The operators of this facility will
be provided with guidelines and procedures for safe handling of feline waste, and
ArracMnr 3
~•~
associated treatment of litter products. Guidelines for safe handling of the cats will be
provided by DCK, based upon their well-established experience in kennel operation.
As this facility will not be open to the general public, there will be no direct impact on
public health. However, public health and general welfare of the greater Dublin
community will benefit in that many of these cats might otherwise be wild/feral cats,
potentially developing and transmitting disease to other wild and domestic animals with
whom they might come in contact. These cats would otherwise be temporarily housed
and, perhaps, ultimately euthanized, by local animal shelters.
Licensing. Alameda County Animal Control is the agency which annually audits the
Dublin Creek Kennel operation. Officer McComb performed his annual audit on 7/7/99;
at that time, he gave DCK co-owner Sue Hagan perrnission to increase the on-site cat
population. No additional licensing is required.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service,
Regulatory Enforcement and Animal Care, Western Region Office (Sacramento, CA)
has indicated that this facility is not subject to registration as a research facility under the
Animal Welfare Act. USDA veterinarians made this judgement, due to the fact that the
cats are simply being housed, under normal living conditions, using non-commercial litter
pans. There is no potential for harm to the cats, and thus this enterprise is not of the
type that Congress intended to regulate as "research".
