PUBLIC HEARINGS
SUBJECT: PA 87-127 Crest Enterprises, Inc./The New
Ewe Planned Development Rezoning request,
11873 11891 and 11875-11887 Dublin Blvd.
Cm. Mack opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report.
Ms. 0'Halloran stated that at the November 2, 1987, Planning Commission
meeting the Commission directed Staff and the Applicant to contact all
affected Property Owners to consider initiating the rezoning petition. She
advised that the required applications from the affected Property Owners were
received on November 3, and Staff subsequently provided the public notice for
the November 16 Planning Commission meeting.
Ms. 0'Halloran reviewed the Applicant's request which was presented to the
Commission at the November 2nd meeting. She indicated that the Applicant was
requesting to rezone one of three parcels of property in the Heritage Park
Planned Development District. She referred to the November 2, 1987, Staff
Report and said with the exception of the massage establishment the proposed
uses are compatible with the surrounding office, retail and residential uses.
She advised that massage establishments in the City of Dublin require approval
of a Conditional Use Permit within the C-1 (Retail Business) District and
approval of a police permit, and are not permitted in any other district.
Ms. 0'Halloran said Staff recommended massage establishments continue to be
restricted to the C-1 District subject to the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. She stated that a massage establishment is not compatible with the
C-0 District character of the subject Planned Development, Staff recomended
that massage establishments be prohibited in the Planned Development District
except as specifically exempt in City of Dublin Ordinance 2-87 regulating
massage establishments and services.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending
the City Council adopt a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance
for PA 87-127 and a Resolution recommending the City Gouncil adopt an
Ordinance establishing findings and general provisions for the proposed PD
Rezoning.
Dennis Ackley, 7873 Cranford Lane, Dublin, stated his opposition to any type
of massage therapist being permitted to operate in the City of Dublin.
Cm. Mack closed the public hearing.
In response to an inquiry by Cm. Burnham, Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that Staf~
had not had direct contact with the Property Owners in the development other
than to verify some of the addresses for the purpose of mailing public hearing
notices.
Ms. 0'Halloran, responding to an inquiry by Cm. Burnham, stated that the
Historical Society had received a copy of the public hearing notices.

Cm. Burnham stated that he understood a meeting of the Historical Society
would be held on Wednesday, November 18, 1987. He said he was concerned that
the meeting would not be held until after the Planning Commission took action
on the subject project.
Jim Kleimer, Representative of Crest Enterprises, said he had spoken with the
Historical Society who have indicated they are aware of the proposed project.
He also said that the meeting on Wednesday evening would not be for the
purpose of discussing the proposed use of the Green Store.
Clarifying a question raised by Cm. Zika, Ms. 0'Halloran stated that the uses
which were being proposed would only affect the Green Store property. She
said that because the subject property is part of the entire Planned Develop-
ment, the proposal indirectly affects the other property as well in that the
Green Store property would become a Planned Development apart from the other
property.
In response to an inquiry by Cm. Zika, Ms. 0'Halloran explained that under the
current recommendation, the only way massage uses would be authorized in the
proposed Planned Development would be if they fell within Section 30,
Exceptions, of City Ordinance No. 2- 87 regulating massage establishments and
massage services.
On motion by Cm. Burnham, seconded by Cm. Zika, and by a unanimous vote
(Cm. Barnes absent), a Resolution was adopted recommending the City Council
adopt a Negative declaration concerning PA 87-127.

On motion by Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. Tempel, and by a three-to-one vote
(Cm. Mack opposed, Cm. Barnes absent), a Resolution was adopted recommending
the City Council adopt an Ordinance and establish findings and general
provisions for a PD, Planned Development rezoning concerning PA 87-127.
RESOLUTION N0. 87-075

In response to an inquiry by Cm. Burnham, Mr. Tong verified that the action
taken by the Commission was in the form of a recommendation to the Gity
Council. He said the request would probably be presented to the Council at
the December 14, 1987, meeting.

OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Tong advised that the Lapez Variance and Corwood Car Wash appeals would be
presented to the City Council at the November 23, 1987, meeting. He indicated
that a Conditional Use Permit application for Village V of the Villages
project, Post California, would be on the December 7, 1987, Planning
Commission agenda. Additionally, he said the Election of Officers would be
placed on the December 7 agenda.
In response to an inquiry by Cm. Zika, Mr. Tong indicated that the application
for Village V was for 204 dwelling units, primarily as an apartment project.
He said Village V was originally approved as part of the Rafanelli & Nahas
Villages Planned Development project. He said the Applicant is applying for a
slight modification to what was originally approved, and as a result must come
back to the Commission through the Conditional Use Permit process. He also
said the Site Development Review will then show not only land use, but site
planning, landscape, architecture and preliminary grading for the proposal.

PLANNING COMMISSIONERS' CONCERNS
Mr. Tong responded to an inquiry by Cm. Burnham related to future Conditional
Use Permit applications which may be received for uses related to the Green
Store property. He said if the City Council acts on the recommendation of the
Planning Commission for the Crest Enterprises/New Ewe application, uses listed
as permitted would not require another Conditional Use Permit or public
hearing.
Cm. Zika asked for information concerning the number of garage sales permitted
during a specific period.
Mr. Tong stated that garage sales are controlled by State law. Although he
did not have immediate access to the information, he said he thought they
could be held six times within a 12-month period, but that they were
restricted to the sale of used personal property. He said it may be possible
to hold them for six consecutive weeks. He referred Cin. Zika to the Homa
Occupation Handout which discusses the sale of homemade articles, such as
baskets.
Cm. Tempel inquired if the Hot Rod Cafe project would be delayed due to the
disappearance of the owner. Mr. Tong advised that he had not had contact from
the Applicant or development team, and that the necessary building permits had
not been secured.
Cm. Burnham asked if the City had recently begun the practice of removing
garage sale signs.

Mr. Tong said part of the public maintenance contract is to remove any signs
posted on public property. He said this has occurred since the City
incorporated in 1982.
In response to an inquiry by Cm. Mack regarding a business license program,
Mr. Tong stated that nothing has occurred in terms of any additional studies
or action by the City Council. He said that the City Council may want to
establish an ad hoc committee to study the necessary steps involved in
instituting a business license program.
