APPROVING PA 98-072 DUBLIN THEATRE COMPANY
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO AMEND THE HOURS AND SCALE OF
OPERATION OF THE EXISTING FACILITY LOCATED AT
6620 DUBLIN BOULEVARD, DUBLIN STATION.
WHEREAS, the Applicant, Rick Robinson, of the Dublin Theatre Company has requested approval
of a Conditional Use Permit to amend the hours and scale of operation of the existing facility located at 6620
Dublin Boulevard, Dublin Station, in a C-2 General Commemial Zoning District; and

and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impact and
that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the 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 project would be located on a currently
developed site within an existing retail/office complex and because the traffic impacts generated by the
project have been mitigated by the voluntary payment of funds in the amount of $2, 992 by the Applicant for
street improvements; and
WHEREAS the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said application on
March 23, 1999; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be approved; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recormnendations and
testimony hereinabove set forth and used his independent judgment to make a decision; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find
that:
The proposed use is compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the
vicinity because the proposed use will be located within a multi-tenant retail/office complex adjacent
to Dublin Boulevard near the intersection of Dougherty Road. Adequate on-site parking and
circulation is available.
The proposed use 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 City and
Alameda County regulations and conditions will be met.
The use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the Applicant
has voluntarily agreed to pay traffic funds in the amount of $2, 992 for street improvements to
mitigate the traffic impacts generated by the Dublin Theatre Company. Conditions of approval will
ensure ongoing compatibility with adjacent commemial uses.
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 site is currently developed with a mixed-use complex and
adequate on-site parking and circulation is available for the proposed use.
The use is not contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, and performance
standards established for the zoning district in which it is located because the project is consistent
with the C-2 General Commercial Zoning District, which encourages general commercial use types
along major transportation corridors and intersections and because the conditions of approval are
required to ensure that the proposed amendment to the hours and scale of operation of the Dublin
Theatre Company will be compatible with adjacent uses.
G. The proposed use permit amendment is consistent with the Dublin General Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve
PA 98-072 Dublin Theatre Company Conditional Use Permit request to amend the hours and scale of
