He then turned the presentation over to Mr. DeLuca, Associate Planner. • ~ Mr. DeLuca discussed current information regarding the Pet Prevent-A-Care application for a Conditional Use Permit to hold a series of six pet vaccination clinics in the K-Mart parking lot, at 6333 Dublin Blvd., throughout 1984. Staff's recommendation was to allow four (4) clinics. It was pointed out that, while most of the conditions were fairly standard, #2 (requiring that each animal owner receive information regarding the vaccine and person administering the vaccination) and #9 (requiring residence survey information) were specifically mandated by the City Council, in a previous application hearing, and were incorporated as new standard conditions. Randall Morrison, General Manager of Pet Prevent-A-Care, addressed the Commission, giving a brief history of the organization. He felt a need exists for the greater number of clinics (6) to serve customers rapidly and efficiently. At Cm. Tenery's request, PPC's fees for vaccinations were noted as follows: Rabies (dog and cat) -$3.95 Dog 6-in-1 - $7.00 Cat 3-in-1 - $5.00 Elizabeth Schmitt, a Cypress Court resident, spoke in favor of the clinics, adding she felt that there is no reason why local veterinarians shouldn't hold such low-cost clinics. Gene Nagel, a local veterinarian, opposed outsiders from coming into Dublin on such a temporary basis. He stated that, after the first of the year (1984), Tri-Valley Emergency Clinic plans to begin holding clinics. At Cm. Tenery's request Dr. Nagel stated his fees atc Rabies (dog and cat) - $10.00 Dog 6-in-1 - $14.00 Cat 3-in-1 - $14.00 Erik Young, formerly of PPC, and now employed as their business manager, addressed the Commission in support of the PPC concept, and felt that the real issue was "Who needs the protection: the ! local veterinarians, the public, or Pet-Prevent-A-Care." Cm. Alexander ascertained that both PPC and local veterinarians notify the pet owners when follow-up vaccinations are due. Dr. Giammattei, of PPC, spoke at length in support of his service, offering statistical information regarding numbers of animals unvaccinated in the Dublin area. He added that he had no objection to any of the conditions required by the Conditional Use Permit conditions of approval. . . • After the close of the public hearing, Cm. Alexander ventured a motion, with Cm. Petty's second to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, allowing four clinics to take place during 1984. The motion passed on a roll call vote as follows: Cm. Alexander - Aye Cm. Mack - No Cm. Petty - Aye Cm. Tenery - Aye Cm. Vonheeder - Aye RESOLUTION NO. 83-31 APPROVING PA 83-055 PET PREVENT-A-CARE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION TO ALLOW THE CONDUCT OF FOUR LOW-COST PET VACCINATION CLINICS IN THE K-MART PARKING LOT * * * * PA 83-080 PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURGH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Mr. DeLuca presented the application for a Conditional Use Permit to install a 40' trailer on the property, located at 7485 Village Parkway, to be used as a classroom for four years. Staff recommended, however, that the permit be granted for a period of one year, with possibility of extension, and with conditions including landscape enhancement. Mr. DeLuca, at this time, referred the Commissioners' attention to a letter from the DSRSD Fire Department, received by Staff subsequent to drafting the conditions of approval, indicating additional requirements for fire safety. Staff's suggestion was to combine the requirements, listed in the letter, into a single, additional, condition of approval, bringing the total number of conditions to seven. Don Lewis, Parkway Baptist Church Pastor, spoke briefly, indicating that he would be happy to comply with all conditions, noting that the trailer may not be needed after one year. He went on to express a great desire to serve the community of Dublin. After the close of the public hearing, Cm. Alexander made a motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit, with the addition of Condition #7, as suggested by Staff. Cm. Petty secanded the motion, and it carried by unanimous vote.

He explained that the form was all-inclusive and, necessarily, comprehensive and invited suggestions or comments from the Commissioners for improvements to the form. ' Cm. Vonheeder requested clarification of Section II, and Staff concurred. It was suggested that clarifying words be added to this portion of the application, to avoid confusion. Cm. Mack questioned the fee schedule, and Mr. Tong indicated that the City of Dublin adopted the Alameda County fee schedule. Cm. Mack also suggested that Staff pursue the installation of a sign or other means of identifying the City offices, in an effort to assist newcomers. * * * * OTHER BUSINESS Cm. Alexander questioned whether or not the street lighting program had begun. Staff responded that if it had not yet begun, installation would begin in the very near future. Cm. Alexander also queried Staff regarding City safety lighting requirements in the parking lots of such public buildings as the library. After a brief discussion, Staff was requested to investigate additional lighting while meetings are being held. Cm. Vonheeder questioned whether input had been received from local auto dealers regarding the revisions to the sign ordinance. Mr. Tong indicated that the dealers want visibility from the freeway and have requested exemption from height limitations. Staff advised the Commission of recent City Council actions regarding: General Plan Area 3 Amendment; and the City Council meeting, scheduled for December 6, regarding General Plan Working Paper 3: Alternative Sketch Plans. . . ~ ~ * * * * ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. * * * * Respectfully submitted, t f ~ P ,r , , J ,l(~" ' ~ ~~i ~ ; ~ ~ lanning C ission Chairmar~ Laurence L.
