Cm. Barnes opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report.
Mr. Barger indicated that on June 19, 1989, the Commission held a public
hearing regarding this application, however, there wa5 nobody present to

frame.
Mr. Regalia indicated that they owned the property and saw no problems with
the time frame.

SUBJECT: PA 88-139 Crown Chevrolet Conditional Use Permit/Site
Development Review for exterior car storage and parking on
approximately 1.97 acres of vacant land located on Golden
Gate Drive, south of 7544 Dublin Boulevard (continued from
the June 5, 1989 meeting)
Cm. Barnes opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report.
Mr. Tong introduced John Donahoe. Mr. Donahoe would be taking Trudi Ryan's
place as Ms. Ryan had accepted a position with the City of Sunnyvale.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that this item had been continued from the June 5, 1989
meeting. The Applicant had revised the site plan to show deletion of the
proposed employee/customer parking and revision of the storage area from 102
vehicles to 118. This revised plan indicated that only the northern half af
the property would be used.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the Commission had requested Staff to prepare
revised resolutions and conditions of approval to include a 10 foot wide
landscaping strip on the east and west sides of the storage area and the
permitted use of gravel surface for that storage area.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the City Engineer had concerns regarding the gravel
surface of the storage area because the gravel could be tracked into the
public street. The City Engineer suggested that the surface be base rock
layer with a chip seal surface and prevent public street access from the
storage area.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the Applicant wished to fence around the entire
parcel and Staff had no problems with that request. The Staff recommendation,
however, would be to have the Applicant fence the southern portion of the
storage area to prevent unauthorized parking and storage on the unimproved
portion of the site. This condition would be required regardless if the
Applicant fenced the entire parcel or not.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the Commission needed to rnake findings on Item #d,
g and h for the Conditional Use Permit and Item A and D of the Site
Development Review to enable the project to be consistent with the general
intent of Downtown Specific Plan.
Cm. Zika asked what the purpose would be of having a fence installed in the
middle of the lot.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the fence would restrict the parking of cars
outside of the improved area.
Mr. Pat Costello, Applicant, indicated that an additional fence in the center
of the site wouid be too expensive. He indicated that there would not be any
additional public traffic. This was private parking for the storage of
vehicles.

Regular Meeting PCM-8-103 July 5, 1989
, ~ ~
Mr. Costello discussed Exhibit D(Site Development Review). He had concerns
over the required 35' width opening of the gate. He saw no problems with
keeping the gate at 20'. He indicated that if this was a mandatory
requirement, then he would go ahead and change the gate, however, there was no
significant impact from the traffic engineer's point of view.
Mr. Costello discussed the landscaping and gravel surface issues. He
indicated that there wouid be new automobiles stored on the lot and the gravel
surface with oil did not seem appropriate. He requested that a loose gravel
base rock that was almost dust free be substituted.
Ms. Woolverton indicated that Mr. Costello was very much aware where cars were
being stored and saw no reason for the additional fence.
Mr. Costello indicated that it did not make sense to spend a lot af money at
this time. He stated that the curbing would be too expensive as well as the
landscaping requirements.
Cm. Zika asked if the public street had to be crossed to get to the lot.
Mr. Costello indicated no.
Cm. Zika indicated that he was in favor of the one year permit and since
nobody knows when BART is coming in, did not feel that it was appropriate for
the Applicant to have to spend a lot of money at this time. He asked Staff if
a violation could be issued if the storage area was not used properly.
Mr. Tong indicated yes. The storage area was limited to the storing of
vehicles. If the fence was installed, the Applicant would only have to drive
through a gate insetad of having an open area.
Cm. Zika asked if a violation could cause the Conditional Use Permit to be
voided.
Mr. Tong indicated yes.
Cm. Burnham concurred with Cm. Zika. He indicated that the more money the
Applicant puts into the property, the more the City will need to pay to
acquire it. He had no problem with the gravel surface. He asked Staff why
the gate had to be 35 feet.
Mr. Donahoe indicated that this condition was in the original Staff Report and
would make it access easier for trucks.
Cm. Burnham indicated that 20 feet seemed efficient.
Cm. Barnes reiterated that this lot was for storage only and Mr. Costello was
required to keep the area weed free. She saw no reason for trucks to be back
in the storage area.
Mr. Costello indicated that trucks have been using the 20 foot gate and had
not had any problems.
Cm. Burnham asked if there was a violation clause in the conditions of
approval.

Mr. Tong indicated there was no condition of approval stating that vehicles
could be parked there.
The Comrnission requested Staff to add Condition #27 to Exhibit C(Conditional
Use Permit) which would state, "There will be no vehicle parking or storing of
materials located on the undeveloped southern 1.0 acre portion of the site".
On motion from Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. Okun, with a vote of 4-0 (one
absent), the Planning Commission adopted
RESOLUTION N0. 89-033
ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR PA 88-139
CROWN CHEVROLET CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, GOLDEN
GATE DRIVE, SOUTH OF 7544 DUBLIN BOULEVARD
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the Downtown Specific Plan was not consistent with
the conditions of approval of the Conditional Use Permit and the Commission
would need to find that the approval was for a temporary use only.
The Commission supported findings that the use was "temporary".
Mr. Donahoe indicated that the 9th Whereas had a error. The first July date
would need to be changed to June.
On motion from Cm. Okun, requesting the date correction, the addition of
Condition #27 and Condition #16 to allow a gravel surface, seconded by Cm.
Burnham, and with a vote of 4-0 (one absent), the Planning Commission adopted

Commission adopted
RESOLUTION N0. 89-035

Mr. Tong indicated that these were standards conditions, however this
application was unique in that it was not considered a parking lot.
The Planning Commission and Staff discussed the standard conditions of
approval (Attachment A) and decided that Staff would work with the Applicant.
The public hearing was closed and the approvals were taken as stands.
SUBJECT: PA 89-047 Goldies Fitness Plus Commercial Recreation
Facility Conditional Use Permit request to allow continued
operation of a commercial recreation facility (health/
fitness center) at 7164 Regional Street
Cm. Barnes opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that this application was for a Conditional Use
Permit. The fitness center had been operating without an approved Conditional
Use Permit since 1979. The Applicant was unaware of the requirement for an
approved Conditional Use Permit. During the last 10 years, the Planning
Department had not received any zoning complaints. The Planning Department
was unaware that the fitness center was operating without an approved use
permit.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the center operates Monday through Friday
between 8:30 a.m, and 8:00 p.m, and on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. through 12
noon. There is an estimate of 125 people who utilize the facility on the
weekdays and approximately 35 people on Saturday.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that all appropriate agencies and departments have
reviewed the application and the proposal is consistent with the General Plan
and Downtown Specific Plan. Staff recommends that the Commission approve the
Conditional Use Permit until July 19, 1992.
Cm. Zika asked how the Staff had found out that the fitness center was
operating without a permit.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the appliaant was in the process of selling the
business and an individual interested in the business had contacted the City
to determine whether the use was a permitted use in its present location.
Mr. Brad Gilbertson, Applicant, indicated that he would be happy to answer any
questions the Commission might have.
Cm. Barnes closed the public hearing.
Cm. Zika suggested the permit be for one year with two 2-year extensions.
Cm. Barnes re-opened the public hearing.
Mr. Gilbertson indicated that part of the final sale of the business required
a 5-year lease and had concerns about the one year permit. He indicated that
the buyer seemed confortable with the three year permit approval and discussed
the financial background of the business.

Cm. Zika had concerns regarding a new buyer with a new business.
Cm. Barnes concurred with Gm. Zika.
Mr. Tong indicated that this was a typically 3-5 year permit approval and was
comfortable with conditions of approval. He indicated that the Applicant did
not need to discuss the business sale with Staff and had the Commission not
known, the 3-5 year permit would have been okay. He indicated that
Conditional Use Perraits run with the land and are not tied to a specific
property or business owner.
Cm. Burnham indicated that the business had been around for some time and
would go along with Staff's recommendations.
Cm. Okun concurred with Cm. Burnham.
Cm. Barnes closed the public hearing.
On motion from Cm. Burnham, seconded by Cm. Okun, with a vote of 3-1 (one
absent), the Planning Commission adopted

the revocable clause in item #8 and she trusted the new owner wauld comply
with the conditions of approval and requirements of the zoning district.
SUBJECT: PA 89-058 Southexn Pacific Conditional Use Permit/Site
Development Review request to construct a gasoline pump
station and power and control center at 6433 Dougherty Road
Cm. Barnes opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report.
Mr. Barger indicated that the application was a request for a Conditional Use
Permit and Site Development Review to install an unmanned gasoline pump
station at 6433 Dougherty Road on the old Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-
way. The facility would be located outdoors behind a solid ehainlink fence
and be east of the American Building Gomponents construction yard and west of
Parks Military Training Reserve.
Mr. Barger indicated that the site could be accessed by a 20' wide private
road feeding from Dougherty Road. The station would be located approximately
1400 feet away from Dougherty Road out of direct public view.
Mr. Barger indicated that there would be two electric motor drive pumps, one
with 1250 horsepower, one with 1500. There would be a power control center
building and transformer also on the site.
Mr. Barger indicated that this was not your typical gas station. Gasoline
would not be stored or dispensed on the site. This facility serves as a
booster station to assist in the transfer of gasoline through pipes located

Regular Meeting PCM-8-107 July 5, 1989

underground along the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way between San Jose
and Concord. This eliminates the need of using heavy trucks for gasoline
transportation.
Mr. Barger indicated that Southern Pacific Pipelines has been identified as a
public utility, serving as an underground transporter of gasoline for gas
companies. A fee is charged for this service and the company is not involved
in the sale or purchase of gasoline.
Mr. Barger indicated that the company has a emergency response plan in effect
to deal with any potential leaks, spills, ruptures, fires etc. The company
will continuously monitor the facility and if a problem occurs, the company
would be able to respond within one-half hour. The company has been in
operation for 28 years.
Mr. Barger indicated that all pertinent agencies have reviewed the application
and no problems have been identified. He indicated that the proposed use was
consistent with the intent of the M-1 zoning district and Staff recomends the
Commission approve the draft resolutions of approval.
Mr. Barger indicated that representatives from Southern Pacific Pipelines were
in the audience.
Cm. Okun asked if this was a new Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Barger indicated yes.
Cm. Zika asked if the 6 foot fence was appropriate.
Mr. Barger indicated that a 6 foot fence was typical, however the Commission
could require a higher fence.
Cm. Zika was concerned over the height of the fenee and thought a higher fence
would give added protection.
Cm. Burnham had concerns over vandalism and graffiti.
Mr. Art Thomassen, Applicant, described the business and installation of the
pump station. He indicated that the pump station was needed to transport gas
for oil and military companies and there was an increased gasoline demand in
the San Jose area.
Mr. Thomassen indicated that this was an unmanned station and was routinely
maintained. He indicated that the Department of Transportation had safety
regulations that his company has to adhere to which includes having an
emergency response plan. The Company has state-of-the-art technology and the
station would be shutdown and investigations held if an emergency occurred,
Mr. Thomessen indicated that typically, razor wire would be installed on the
top of the fence. He requested that Condition #5 regarding handicap access
be eliminated. He stated that an unmanned pump station would not require
handicap access.

Mr. Bob Cardinal, representative, described the mechanics of the sump pump.
Cm. Zika asked if the company had any vandalism problems.
Mr. Thomessen indicated no, only pot shots at their facilities in the desert
areas. He indicated that the station would be designed in compliance with
Department of Transportation's regulations and would be very difficult for a
child to do a lot of damage.
The Commission and Applicant discussed the safety response time procedures.
Marie Cronin asked about psi ratings and the diameter measurements for the
pipes.
Mr. Thomessen indicated that it had 1300 psi with maximum 10 inch diameter
pipes.

requirement.
Mr. Barger indicated that he would talk with the Building Official to verify

Cm. Okun indicated that there were no discussion of safety measures in the
conditions of approval.

TO CONSTRUCT A GASOLINE PUMP STATION AND POWER AND CONTROL CENTER BUILDING AT
6433 DOUGHERTY ROAD
SUBJECT: PA 87-012 Donlan Canyon (Blaylock, Gleason & Fletcher)
General Plan Amendment request to include approximately 197
acres of project site within the City's Primary Planning
Area, to designate 19.1 acres for medium-high density
residential, 13 acres for single-family residential and
164.9 acres for open space. Subsequent applications pendin~
General Plan Amendment action will include Planned
Development Prezoning, Subdivision and Annexation (continued
from the June 19, 1989 meeting)
The public hearing had been closed at the June 19, 1989 meeting. The
Commission would be discussing only the fiscal analysis and geotechnical
report issues.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that at the June 19th meeting, the Commission
discussed the Draft and Final EIR, the proposed General Plan Amendment and
proposed land use designation and density. The Commission had directed Staff
to begin preparation of the EIR Mitigation Monitoring Program, provide
additional information on the fiscal analysis sectian, and provide comments on
the appropriate timing for requiring specific geotechnical reports.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that EIP, the City's environmental consultant, spoke
with the City Manager and Finance Direct in re-evaluating the fiscal impacts
of the proposed project. EIP has rewritten the fiscal analysis section of the
EIR to incorporate all new changes. Letter #14 has been replaced.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the re-evaluation resulted in 1) a decrease in
the estimated recreation cost from $18,325 to $11,388; 2) an increase in the
sales tax revenue from $89,245 to $99,521 due to the actual sale tax receipts
for 1987-1988; and 3) a decrease in the general government cost from $40,376
to $37,352. This resulted in a decrease in the cost/reveneue balance from a
negative $14,902 to a positive $3,267. She noted that unit costs were based
on estimates the Applicant provided for 1987-88, the time period consistent
with figures used in determining the other items. Given the rise in housing
costs, the costs of these units are likely to be higher at the time of
actual
sale, which will increase property tax revenue.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the Public Service Section of the Draft EIR has
been revised to include 1) DRFA as a joint powers authority between Dublin and
San Ramon; 2) the 1.5 mile response limit for DRFA; 3) the $6Q0 per unit fire
impact fee required to be pad by the developer; 4) the potential need for an
additional fir station; and 5) a mitigation requiring Class B or better roofs
and Class A or non-cambustible roofs for the 17 single-family units.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the City Manager has reviewed and concurred with
the figures presented for the revised fiscal analysis section.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
find that the revised Fiscal Analysis and Public Services Section of the Final
EIR are complete and adequate.

Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the Public Works Director, Building Official,
and a Geologist from EIP have reviewed and commented on the Geology and Soils
Section of the Draft EIR. She indicated that the concensus is that it is
premature to do detailed studies at the General Plan Amendment stage.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that land use designation would not equate to
approval of development plans for the site. The Tentative Map and Prezoning
stage would determine where within the land use designation development should
occur.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that Staff recommends the Commission find that the
Geology and Soils section of the Draft and Final EIR are complete and
adequate. She then indicated that the Commission needed to direct Staff to 1)
prepare a resolution relating to the Commission's recommendation on the
completeness and adequacy of the EIR; 2) prepare a resolution relating to the
Commission's recommendation on the EIR Monitoring Program and 3) prepare a
resolution relating to the Commission recommendatian on the General Plan
Amendment.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the General Plan Amendment recommendation would
include the project site within primary planning area and consistency with
existing general plan policies. The proposed land use designations are 1) low
density single-family with 0.5 to 3.8 dwelling units per acre; 2) medium high
density with 14.1 to 25 dwelling units per acre and 3) 164.9 acres of open
space.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that Jennifer Toth from EIP was in the audience if
the Commission had any questions or concerns.
Cm. Zika asked for clarification on land use designation and zoning.
Mr. Tong clarified that land use designations would be recommended at this
time. The actual zoning of the property would occur afterwards. The
prezoning is more precise.
Mike Gleason, Applicant, concurred with the Staff's recommendation and ask~d
the Commission to adopt the resolutions of approval.
Cm. Okun indicated that there seemed to be a big turnaround in the fiscal
analysis.
Ms. 0'Hallaran indicated that the fiscal analysis was re-evaluated using the
most current and available information contained in the new City budget.
Cm. Okun asked how stable the figures were.
Ms. 0'Halloran stated that the figures were based on the most current
information available. She indicated that the figures could change as the
project is developed, however, at this point in time rhe figures are accurate
based upon actual cost of items during 1987-88.
Mr. Tong cautioned the Commission not to use the fiscal analysis as permanent
figures.

Ms. Jennifer Toth, EIP, indicated that she was confident that the figures were
accurate.
Cm. Okun asked about the status of the mitigation monitoring program.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the rnonitoring program was being prepared and
would have to be reviewed by the City Attorney.
Mr. Tong indicated that Staff would be able to present the monitoring program
to the Commission at the July 17th meeting.
Ms. 0'Halloran indicated that the Commission needed to give Staff specific
direction on how to proceed regarding the completeness of the EIR, the
recommendation for the resolution of approval for the Monitoring Program and
the General Plan Amendment.
The Commission concurred with Staff's recommendation and requested Staff to
proceed with the preparation of the re5olutions of approval. The Cornrnission
