Staff recommended the application be approved with the requirement that 8 parking stalls in front of the applicant's store receive special surface treatment to distinguish it from the general parking area. Chairman Alexander and Commissioner Raley asked Staff how this application would be similar to the Kawasaki application. Mr. Tong and Mr. DeLuca indicated that the application is similar, however there is a great deal of difference in the site configuration, landscaping and site characteristics. It was noted by Staff, that the Kawasaki application was denied not because of the motorcycles, but because there was not sufficient room on the site to display motorcycles.

It was moved by Commissioner Raley and seconded by Commissioner Barnes to close the public hearing. It was moved by Commissioner Raley and seconded by Commissioner Mack to approve PA 84-068 Burns European Motors Conditional Use Permit with the following changes to the resolution: #8: Adequate security lighting shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Planning Director #9: This approval is valid until November 19, 1989 and shall be revocable for a cause in accordance with Section 8-90.3 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance RESOLUTION NO. 84-52 APPROVING PA 84-068 GARY BURNS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPLICATION TO ALLOW THE SALE OF RECONDITIONED AUTOMOBILES AT 6797 DUBLIN BOULEVARD SUBJECT: PA 84-049 Imperial Freeholds California lncorporated application for a Parcel Map Extension Mr. DeLuca presented the Staff Report which was a request by Imperial Freeholds California lncorporated for an extension to Parcel Map 3582. Mr. DeLuca noted that the principle issue associated with this extension relates to the intersection location at Dublin Boulevard. Staff prefers to have the entrance relocated so that it is across from Sierra Court, as opposed to its present location just east of Alamo Canal. In this manner, only one intersection would be needed and would avoid the necessity of having two intersections in close proximity along a major thoroughfare. The only way to relocate the entrance would be to acquire the necessary property from the Dublin/San Ramon Services District. In exchange for this property, the developers could give Dublin/San Ramon Services District a portion of their property which is located to the rear of their site adjacent to the Sports Grounds. This issue has been just previously discussed with the applicant. No final decisions have been made. Mr. DeLuca noted that one of the conditions required that a good faith effort be made to relocate the entrance across from Sierra Court. Regular Meeting PCM-4-122 11/19/84 i ~ Chairman Alexander opened the public hearing. Rodger Coupe, representing the applicant addressed the Planning Commission and stated he was concerned with the requirement to pay for the full cost of the signalization project at Sierra Court and Dublin Boulevard. Mr. Coupe indicated that his client was willing to pay for a portion of the signal costs, but not the entire cost. It was the concensus of the Planning Commission that any action on this extension would be premature until there was further information on the relocation of the entrance onto Dublin Boulevard. It was moved by Commissioner Raley and seconded by Commissioner Barnes to continue this item to the December 17, 1984. Voice vote found all in favor. * * * * UNFINISHED BUSINESS Mr. Tong gave the status on the McCartney Variance appeal and the Valley Christian Conditional Use Permit appeal * * * * NEW BUSINESS Commissioner Raley stated that he would feel more comfortable if the City established more stringent regulations for daycare centers within the City and considered requiring nurses at such facilities. * * * * OTHER BUSINESS None * * * * ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at ' 9:30 p.m..
