The project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the environment; and WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be conditionally approved; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby find that: me There are special circumstances including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings applicable to the property which would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under the identical zoning classification in that: - 1 - In regards to allowing 5 parking spaces on-site, the physical placement of the storage buildings on-site, the function of these buildings and the nature of a self-storage development results in minimal on-site parking needs for customers, or patrons. Due to the low number of patrons which use the facility throughout the day, the parallel parking which is proposed in the drive aisle should provide sufficient parking, without resulting in conflicts with other vehicles or emergency vehicles. Be In regards to the substandard effective lot frontage, the panhandle shaped lot provides adequate drive-by identity for the self storage use on Parcel A, while maintaining increased drive-by identity and exposure for future retail uses on Parcel B. Parcel A does provide an effective lot frontage (77 feet) which exceeds one-half of the required median lot width (100 feet) as specified in the M-1 District. The effective lot frontage provision is required to ensure adequate access to newly created parcels. Parcel A does demonstrate adequate vehicular and emergency vehicular ingress and egress to accommodate the proposed Allsafe Self Storage project. If the effective lot frontage of Parcel A is increased to comply with the Zoning Ordinance, it reduces the lot width for Parcel B, limiting the flexibility of the Property Owner to find a prospective large retail tenant, which is a less desirable option. That the granting of the application will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone. There are other self-storage sites in Dublin that have minimal on-site parking spaces for patrons (i.e., 14 parking spaces, Public Storage; 14 parking spaces, Dublin Mini- Storage). The effective lot frontage provided for Parcel A provides adequate vehicular and emergency vehicular ingress and egress to the site, as well as adequate drive-by identity, consistent with other parcels located in the M-1 and C-2 Districts. That the granting of the application will not be detrimental to persons or property in the neighborhood or to the public welfare. ae The Applicant will be required to comply with all applicable Building Department, Police Department, DRFA and Zone 7 codes and regulations. - 2 - BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve PA 93-017 Allsafe Self Storage Variance as generally depicted by materials labeled Exhibit A, stamped approved and on file with the Dublin Planning Department and subject to the approval of the related Tentative Map/Site Development Review/Conditional Use Permit and to the following conditions: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Unless stated otherwise, all Conditions of Approval shall be complied with prior to the issuance of building permits or establishment of use, and shall be subject to Planning Department review and approval.
