Mr. Choy indicated that the child care application on Oxbow Lane was approved indefinitely by the Planning Commission.

Zika opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report. Ms. Carol Cirelli presented the staff report to the Commission. She indicated that at a later date, the Public Works Department would be reviewing the site to see if they would be required to use an oil and grease separating device. Staff was recommending approval of the Conditional Use Perm~t application. Cm. North requested clarification on the oil and grease equipment. Ms. Cirelli explained that there might be a need to install a collection device for oils and grease to comply with the NPDS program. The device would collect the run off from washing the vehicles and separate the oils/grease runoff to the sewer drainage system instead of the storm drainage system to avoid contaminating the storm drainage system. However, since this was a minor project, the device may not be necessary. The Public Works Department would make that determination. Cm. North asked if there were CEQA requirements involved. Ms. Cirelli indicated no, not directly. This was a City implemented program. Regular Meeting PCM-1992-100 July 6, 1992 [7-6min] • • Mr. Tong stated that there was a tightening of water quality standards. The City needed to monitor the storm drains to determine if it was necessary to divert the water to the sanitation system. This was an Alameda County wide program. There would be studies done on key locations, not necessary individual houses. If there were contaminants exceedinq standard levels, then various actions would need to be taken. It could be the responsibility of the homeowner or the company. Cm. North asked if a condition of approval needed to be added establishing this requirement. Mr. Tong indicated there was a question as to if there was a need for the collection device. There was a separate ordinance that would apply if the site was required to have the collection device installed. Cm. Zika referred to the drainage areas on the site and asked if they already existed. He indicated that both Location #1 and #2 could be seen from Dublin Boulevard. Ms. Cirelli indicated that the drainage areas were already existing. Location #2 could only be seen slightly from Dublin Boulevard. A representative from Enterprise Rent-A-Car indicated that he had no concerns with Staff's recommendations. Cm. Zika asked if the washing of the vehicles was basically a hose and bucket operation. The representative indicated yes. Basically, they would be rinsing the vehicles and wiping them down. Cm. Zika closed the public hearing. On motion from Cm. North, seconded by Cm. Rafanelli, and with a vote of 5-0, the Planning Commission adopted RESOLUTION NO. 92-042 APPROVING PA 92-031 ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO AMEND CONDITION #5 OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 92-026 (CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A CAR RENTAL AGENCY WITH OUTDOOR STORAGE) TO ALLOW THE OUTDOOR WASHING OF RENTAL VEHICLES ON SITE LOCATED AT 6867 DUBLIN BOULEVARD NEW OR UNFINISHED BUSINESS Cm. Barnes asked what the status was on the Commission's request to the City Council regarding sidewalk sales. Mr. Tong indicated that Staff was working on this item. Regular Meeting PCM-1992-101 July 6, 1992 [7-6min] • ~ Cm. North asked if Toys-R-Us had been notified regarding the sidewalk sale regulations. Mr. Tong indicated yes. Toys-R-Us stated that they had received conflicting information and was under the impression that sidewalk sales were allowed. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Tong reviewed the City Council's calendar for their July 13th meeting. Staff would have a report regarding the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District's detachment from Dublin's service area. Mr. Tong noted that there was approximately 190 acres of surplus county property and 4 acres of federal property that needed to be detached from LARPD. A staff report for the Western Dublin project would be on the Council's agenda with three separate options/resolutions. Mr. Tong noted that Milestone Development has requested their application be separated from the project and deterred from Council action until the August 24th meeting. A report on the Contra Costa County Dougherty Valley Dra~t EIR would be reviewed as well. Cm. Zika asked if the Cronin property owners/developer felt that they had a better chance of having their project approved if it was separated from the Eden Development project. Mr. Tong indicated that Milestone was requesting additional time to discuss options with their attorneys. Staff would be recommending that action be taken on the project at this time. Cm. Burnham asked if there was a chance for a legal action regarding the Milestone development. Maybe the developer felt that since Eden Development was being approved, their project should be approved as well. Mr. Tong was under the impression that Milestone was willing to accept the rural residential option allowing a maximum of two dwelling units; however, the developer would be looking at revising their plans for future discussions. Cm. Burnham asked if there was a possibility that a developer for the Cronin property could come back before the Planning Commission at a future date with a different plan. Mr. Tong explained that the City Council would be adopting a Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment for the Western Dublin project. The Applicant could not come back with a proposal exceeding General Plan limitations without first requesting the City Council to initiate another General Plan Amendment study. The Council would need to authorize the study and the Commission would need to go through the same process as before. Regular Meeting PCM-1992-102 July 6, 1992 [7-6min] , ~ ~ PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONCERNS Cm. Barnes requested Staff to investigate a trailer van that had been parked on the Sleep Shop property for some time. Cm. North also included the location on Village Parkway near Elby's. Cm. Barnes indicated that she would not be at the July 20th meeting. Mr. Tong commented that at this time there are no public hearing scheduled for that meeting. Cm. North asked about the status of the EIR For the Eastern Dublin project. Mr. Tong indicated that Staff was in the process of reviewing the Administrative Draft EIR. The Draft EIR was scheduled to be released in mid-August with hearings in September and October. Action was to be taken in November or December. This schedule would meet LAFCO's deadline in order for their review to take place in mid-January.
