Section 2. FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows:
The School of Imagination P/anned Development Zoning, inc/uding a Stage 2
Development Plan, meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 because: it provides
a comprehensive development plan that is tailored to the Public/Semi-Public land use
proposed on the Project Site and creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to
surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design, which is adjacent to
public/semi-public land uses and single-family residential.
2. The PD rezoning with Stage 2 Development P/an for Schoo/ of Imagination will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the
surrounding area in that: 1) the land uses and site plan establish a Public/Semi-Public
development; 2) the proposed project is consistent with the Public/Semi-Public use
envisioned in the General Plan and the Stage 1 Development Plan; 3) the Project Site
has been designed to be compatible with the residential developments; 4) the Project
Site includes attractive landscaping and site elements including landscaping and
street trees to create an attractive landscape palette for the Site, and will be
consistent with the landscaping and site elements in Schaefer Ranch; 5) the project

located; and 6) the Stage 2 Development Plan establishes development standards
and permitted uses to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses.
B. Pursuant to Section 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds

a pre-school which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of
