The project will include an above-ground fuel storage tank, the outdoor storaqe of equipment and materials, and the voluntarv contribution of Traffic Improvement Funds in the amount of 5 376. Regular Meeting PCM-1994-60 July 5a 1994 , [7-5min] . - ! ~ Cm. North opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report. Mr. Ralph Kachadourian, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report, indicating that Public Works required a sidewalk to be installed in front of the building. The Applicant agreed to voluntarily contribute $5,376 to the Traffic Improvement Funds. Staff recommended adoption of Draft Resolutions, Exhibits B, C, and D. Cm. Zika felt gasoline was a hazardous material. Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the conditions of approval stated that no hazardous materials, except fuel, would be stored on-site. Cme Zika clarified that gasoline was a hazardous material. Mr. Kachadourian concurred; however, indicated that the intent of the condition was to prohibit other types of hazardous materials from being stored on-site. Cm. Zika asked how many people would be employed on-site, and how did that figure determine the $5,376 Traffic Impact Fee. Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the traffic report, prepared by TJKM, stated that approximately 45 people would be employed on-site during peak construction periods. Cm. Zika asked how many trips were estimated to be generated. Mr. Kachadourian responded that TJKM estimated a maximum of 3.50 vehicles trips per employee per day, equaling approximately 158 trips per day. Commission and Staff discussed trip distribution and how it related to the determination of the Traffic Impact Fee and indicated that because this project would affect five specific roadway facilities, the Public Works Department determined that this project would have a$5,376 impact on those five projects. Cm. North asked how the water from the vehicle washin area would be ~ g disposed of. II Mr. Kachadourian referred to Exhibit A, indicating that an oil and II water separator would be used. Cm. North asked where the oil would be stored. Mr. Kachadourian responded that a removal trap would be used to store the oil and indicated that the plans had been reviewed and approved by Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD). Cm. North pointed out that they would be storing oil on-site, which was a hazardous material other than gasoline. Regular Meeting PCM-1994-61 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ' ~ ~ Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the intent of the condition was to prohibit the on-site storage of very toxic materials, other than gas or oil, which would first need DSRSD inspection and approval. Cm. North asked if the soap (or other material) used for washing vehicles would go into the storm drain and eventually into the bay. Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the proposed use would most likely have a setup similar to other car wash facilities. Cm. North wanted verification that the Applicant would not be breaking laws by draining soapy water into the storm drains. Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the Applicant's would have to comply with DSRSD and Public Works requirements and, apparently, those agencies had determined that no contaminants would go into the storm drains. Cm. North asked if Staff was referring to Exhibit C, Condition #5, regarding NPDES regulations and requirements. Mr. Kachadourian agreed that Condition #5 was one of the applicable conditions, as well as Exhibit D, Condition ~19, which read "The Applicant shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD)." Cm. North referred to the fencing requirements which stated that the Applicant "may" install an 8-foot fence, even though the Police Department recommended the 8-foot height He expressed concern about someone shooting at the tank and causing community destruction. Mre Kachadourian pointed out that several large outdoor above-ground fuel storage tanks currently existed in Dublin, all of which needed to meet Building Code and Fire Department, DSRSD and NPDES requirements. Cm. North asked if the tank was made of a self-sealing material in the event that a bullet was shot into it. Mr. Kachadourian thought that because the tank was concrete covered in metal, it might withstand a bullet. Cm. North returned to his concern about fence height and asked why an 8-foot fence was not required if the Police Department recommended one. Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the Appl~cant did not want to incur the extra cost of installing additional fencing. However, if the need arose, the Conditional Use Permit would allow them to install a fence higher than the 6 feet allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. Cm. North reiterated his concern that the Police Department had recommended a minimum of 8-feet, along with barb or security wire. Was Staff ignoring the Police concern? Regular Meeting PCM-1994-62 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ' ~ ~ Mr. Kachadourian indicated that the Applicant was willing to work with the Police Department if the need arose for an 8-foot fence. Cm. North felt that the need was there, if the Police Department was recommending it. Mr. Tong responded that Staff felt it was not warranted to make it an 8-foot fence an absolute eondition of approval; however, the condition was subject to the review and approval of the Planning Commission. Mr. Maynard Crowther, President of MCE Corporation, introduced his associates, commended Staff (espeeially Mr. Kachadourian) for their thorough and complete report, and indicated his agreement with all conditions of approval. Mr. Crowther stated that no volatile gasoline would be stored in the tank, only diesel fuel. He indicated that the double-walled Convault tank was metal encased in concrete and felt it was probably bullet- proof. A three-chambered oil-water separator would be utilized; the water would go into the sanitary sewer (not into the bay without beinq treated) and a certified company would periodically empty the oil out of the separator. Mr. Crowther felt that replacing the existing 6-foot fence in back of the building with an 8-foot fence was not necessary; they had never had vandalism problems at the current site and did not expect any in Dublin. There would, however, be an 8-foot fence along the front of the building to screen the site from the roadway. Cm. Zika expressed concern about the rising crime rate in the valley and asked if the Police recommended the 8-foot fence for theft reasons only. Mr. Crowther indicated he did not know why an 8-foot fence was recommended; he felt the existing fence was totally satisfactory. He also felt that the recommended guard dogs were unnecessary. If a problem arose, a taller fence could be installed at that timee Cm. North asked the Applicant why the Police recommended barb or security wire on top of the fence. Mr. Crowther did not know; there was 3-strand barb wire on the existing 6-foot fence. Mr. Kachadourian quoted from the Police Department memorandum, which read "Minimum suggested is 8 foot with additional barb wire or an upgraded security wire at the top. Screening the areas of any chain link fence that is not visible from the front with slats is suggested." Cm. North asked if the memorandum was included in the staff report. Regular Meeting PCM-1994-63 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ~ • ! Mr. Kachadourian indicated it was not included in the staff report; it was included in an internal memorandum which was circulated for review and comment. Cm. North suggested that agency comments be included in future staff reports to save questions, if it did not violate confidentiality. Mr. Tong responded that the internal communications were typically informal; if included in the staff report, the process may become slower and more complicated. However, if the Commission wished, Staff could request that the other departments formalize their comments. Cm. North indicated that the matter could be discussed later during Other Business. Cm. North closed the public hearing. On motion from Cm. Burnham, seconded by Cm. Downey, and with a vote of 4-0, the Planning Commission adopted RESOLUTION NO. 94-017 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR PA 94-014 MCE CORPORATION RESOLUTION NO. 94-018 APPROVING PA 94-014 MCE CORPORATION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A NEW TWO-STORY CORPORATE OFFICE BUILDING, TOTALING 6,400 SQUARE FEET IN AREA (FOOTPRINT OF 3,200 SQUARE FEET) AND AN ATTACHED 6~000 SQUARE FOOT STORAGE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY, AN ABOVE-GROUND FOEL STORAGE TANR AND THE OUTDOOR STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL8 ON THE UNDEVELOPED 1.89± ACRE LOT LOCATED AT 6515 TRINITY COURT. THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES THE VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION OF TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT FUND3 IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,376. RESOLUTI~N NO. 94-019 APPROVING PA 94-014 MCE GORPORATION SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A NEW TWO-STORY CORPORATE OFFICE BUILDING, TOTALING 6,400 SQUARE FEET IN AREA (FOOTPRINT OF 3,200 SQUARE FEET) AND AN ATTACHED 6,000 SQUARE FOOT STORAGE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY, AN ABOVE-GROUND FUEL STORAGE TANR AND THE OUTDOOR STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS ON THE UNDEVELOPED 1.89± ACRE LOT LOCATED AT 6515 TRINITY COURT. THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES THE VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION OF TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,376. SUBJECT: PA 94-026 My Space to Grow Conditional Use Permit approval request for a day care center with a maximum of 90 children in an existinct 6,000 square foot building located at 7802 Regular Meeting PCM-1994-64 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ' • ~ Dublin Boulevard. The project will include the voluntarv contribution of Traffic improvement Funds in the amount of 3 400. Cm. North opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report. Mr. Carrington presented the staff report, reviewed the traffic impact report and indicated that the Applicant would voluntarily contribute $3,400 to the Traffic Improvement Fund. Cm. North referred to the traffic impact and asked how 90 children being dropped off in the morning and pieked up in the afternoon could generate only 72 trips per day (tpd). Mre Carrington indicated that the traffic consultant, Afshin Abtahi, determined that 480 trips per day would be generated; however, because an estimated 35% of the people would carpool, credit was given for 168/tpd, whieh subtotaled to 312/tpd. Since the former retail use at that location (Conklin Brothers) had 240 tpd, credit was given in that amount, resulting in a net increase of 72 trips per day. Cm. Zika asked how long ago Conklin Brothers had moved from that ~ location. Mr. Carrington indicated Conklin Brothers had been gone for at least three years and another use was there for approximately 2 months. 1Krm Carrington continued his staff repart by indicating that there was an error in Condition #10, Exhibit B. This condition should be modified to read, "...Compact spaces shall be 8' by 17'.,.10 (not 8e5~ by 17'). Also, a new sentence should be added at the end of the condition which reads, "All restriping shall be complete and according to the approved revised parking plan prior to occupancy of the structure." Mr. Carrington concluded his staff report, indicating that Staff recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions in Draft Resolution, Exhibit B. Cm. Zika asked for clarification of the Police Department's recommended fence height for the day care facility. Mr. Carrington indicated that the Police Department did not comment on the fence height because it was proposed to be 8 feet. Staff was allowing the taller fence through the Conditional Use Permit process. Cm. Zika, who visited the site prior to the meeting, expressed major concern regarding the number of parking spaces available and the amount of traffic which would be generated by the proposed use during a concentrated amount of time. He felt there was no room for two-way traffic on the road to Golden Gate Drive and wondered what the City's liability would be if traffic accidents resulted. Regular Meeting PCM-1994-65 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ' • ~ Mr. Carrington advised that both the Public Wo~ks and Police Departments had reviewed and approved the proposed plan. Acco~ding to the Senior Civil Engineer, the driveways shown on the plot plan were sufficiently wide for two-way traffic. Cm. Zika did not agree that the driveways were sufficient for two-way traffic. Cm. North also felt, after visiting the site, that two-way traffic would be impossible. Mr. Carrington pointed out that most of the trips to this facility would occur before most retail uses in the center openedo Cm. North replied that with 70 cars coming and going within an hour, it was highly likely that two cars would be going through the L-shaped drive aisle in the front or east side of the facility at the same timea It would be dangerous. Cm. Zika reiterated his concern for two-way traffic. Cm. Burnham asked where and how the parking lot would be re-striped to fit in one more parking space. Mr. Carrington suggested re-striping the pocket along the eastern edge of the property, which might yield an additional parking space. Cm. Burnham pointed out that cars would have a more difficult time getting into narrower parking spaces, which would make traffic worse. He felt a Variance for one less parking space would be more effective, Cm. Zika concurred. Cm. North asked if all 14 spaces would be reduced to compact size in order to yield 15 spaces. Mr. Carrington felt that re-striping a pocket of parking spaces seemed a reasonable plan to yield an extra space. The spaces may be reduced to 8 feet and still make room for an extra space. Cm. North determined, after physically measuring four existing spaces prior to the meeting, that the spaces currently averaged 8'S". If they were reduced to compact size (8'), a total of 7 feet would be gained; one foot short of a compact size. Mre Carrington indicated that Staff proposed to require a restriping plane The Commission could grant a Variance; however, the required findings would have to be made. Cm. North asked if the findings could include the fact that the general layout of the landscape and concrete abutments were such that reducing the size to compact size wouid create a traffic hazard. Regular Meeting PCM-1994-66 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . " • ~ Mr. Carrington agreed that reducing the spaces to compact size could create an unusual situation. Another option, which would be up to the Applicant, would be to utilize one less parking space for the playground area. Cm. Zika felt that the playground space was more necessary than one extra parking space and suggested a Variance be granted. More concern should be placed on the evening traffic conqestion. Cm. Burnham asked if it was against the fire codes to require that the playground gates be locked. How would the kids exit the playground in case of f ire? Mre Carrington responded that one of the conditions of approval required that the Applicant comply with DRFA regulations. Panic bars would go on all the doors of the facility, including any necessary hardware on the gates. Commission and Staff discussed Fire and Police Department concerns and indicated that the Applicant would work with the departments to comply with all applicable regulations. Cmo Burnham asked what agency would approve the interior plans for code compliance. Mr. Carrington indicated that the State Department of Social Services would review and approve the facility's design. Cm. Burnham referred to the "Transition Room" on Exhibit A and asked if it was normal to have three toilets in the middle of the room. Mr. Carrington deferred the question to the Applicant. Cm. Burnham did not see handicapped toilets for the kids; although, there might be one for the adults. Did the Applicant have to comply with State handicapped requirements? Mr. Carrington responded yes. Cm. Burnham wondered if the Applicants would keep their current facility. Mr. Carrington believed that the Applicants would operate both facilities. Cm. Burnham expressed concern regarding any "surprises" which might come up on the proposed use, referring to items not approved with the original application for the existing facility which he felt were not appropriate for a residential area (i.e., signage, exterior decorations, parking on private shopping eenter property, etc.). Mr. Carrington indicated that Staff was aware of the Commission's concern regarding Site Development Review Waivers on controversial or sensitive projects. Staff felt the proposed use did not conflict with Regular Meeting PCM-1994-67 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . • • ~ surrounding land uses and would be beneficial to the surrounding community. Cm. Burnham agreed with the need for adequate daycare facilities. Cmo North asked if Staff was aware of the State°s requirements as to the square footage needed per child. Mr. Carrington indicated that Staff was not aware of the requirements and deferred the question to the Applicant. Edie O'Guinn, the Applicant, indicated that the State required 35 square feet per child. Cm. North asked if that was 35 square feet where the child was or in the building in general. Ms. O'Guinn advised that it was 35 square feet where the child waso ' Cm. North wondered if the interior was large enough to accommodate 90 I children. ' Msa O'Guinn deferred the question to the school's directoro I! Ms. Keishay Izzard, school director, addressed the Commission's I concerns regarding parking and traffic by indicating tha~t child drog off and pick up was very sporadic, typically between 6.30-11e30 a.m, and 3:30-6:30 p.m. The Applicant would be willing to mitigate traffic concerns by installing a one-way sign for vehicles to exit out of Golden Gate and instruct parents to enter by another route. Mss Izzard responded to other concerns by indicating that they had obtained a parking agreement with the shopping center management for seven parking spaces for their staff at their existing facility. They worked very hard to maintain a friendly relationship with their neighbors and it was their neighbors, who donated the figures which decorat~d the exterior of the building on Amador Valley Boulevardo She explained the school's philosophy and all of the codes and regulations they have to abide by other than the Planning Departmenta Ms. Izzard responded to the fencing concern by indi.cating that the gates would have flip latches which were installed above the children's reach so, in case of an emergency, a teacher could easily open the gate. Ms. Izzard responded to the odd placement of toilets in the Transition Room by explaining the special needs of children learning to potty train. Regarding handicapped bathrooms, the two existing bathrooms, which would be utilized by Staff and adults, would meet ADA requirements. Although they provide care for children with special needs, they refer non-ambulatory kids to facilities with care providers with specialized training and equipment for their needs. Regular Meeting PCM-1994-68 July 5, 1994 ~7-5min] . ~ • i Ms. Izzard indicated that their current facility would remain open as an after school program for Kindergarten through 6-graders. The ne~a site, which had more space, would be for kids aged 3 months to 5 years. Ms. Izzard concluded her presentation by extending an offer to work with Staff regarding any concerns which might arise. Cm. Burnham expressed concern about the City approving any plans that the State would not approved, which might result in controversya Ms, Izzard explained the Department of Social Services' procedures of approval, indicating that the Department was very strict with their approval process. Staff clearance, fingerprinting and background checks was also explained. Cm. North asked if a prospective teacher was hired prior to the background check or did the applicant wait until the screening process was complete. Ms, Izzard indicated that an applicant without any prior teaching experience was checked through the Department of Justice prior to hiring. If an applicant was already in the system, a faster clearance was available. Only teachers who come from the elementary schools or Resources for Family Development Substitute Teacher Registry (who have gone through prior ehecks) would be hired without checks through the Department of Justi.ce. Cm. Burnham reiterated his concern for, in his opinion, the commercial-type atmosphere of their existing facility on Amador Valley Boulevard. Ms. Izzard appreciated his concern, indicating that they were open to all suggestions made by the community. However, lines of communication needed to be open; they cannot respond to problems of which they are unaware. Commission and Applicants discussed concerns regarding the existing ' facility (i.e., exterior decorations, parking, etc.), with the Applicant indicating that they were never made aware of most of the items for which the Commissioners were now expressing concern. Al1 agreed that communication needed to be open in order to mitigate any problems or concerns. Cm. Downey suggested that the Commission be invited to the opening of the new facility. Ms. O'Guinn wholeheartedly agreed, and extended an open invitation to visit the existing facility. Commissioner North closed the public hearing. Cm. Zika reiterated his concern regarding the traffic; he suggested a modification to the conditions of approval which required a report Regular Meeting PCM-1994-69 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ' • • regarding traffic to come before the Planning Commission before the Conditional Use Permit was renewed after one year. Mr. Tong indicated that the item could come back before the Commission for review, if they deemed it necessary. Cm. North referred to Condition #23, regarding permit renewal, and asked if Cm. Zika was proposing to amend the condition. I Cm. Zika concurred, but asked how Staff would know what types of traffic problems exist, if Police do not respond to accidents of private property unless it involved an injurys Commission discussed several suggestions and indicated that Condition #23 could be modified to read, "...continuous basis, with a report to the Planning Commission in connection with traffic conditions on this site prior to the permit being renewed." Mr, Tong indicated that Staff would take the initiative to work with future tenants and property owners to improve the traffic flow and circulation on-site. Commission and Staff discussed the new parallel road going in between Regional Street and Golden Gate Drive and indicated that some cars may use that road, thereby helping to alleviate some traffic problems. Cm. Burnham referred back to Condi.tion #10, regarding restriping, and indicated that a decision still needed to be made. Mr. Carrington referred to Exhibit A(page 5 of 20) and suggested that the parking island which ran up the middle of the main parking lot be restriped to add an additional space where there was currently a large bulb at the southern end. He suggested leaving the condition as recommended, rather than delaying the Applicant's timeline with a Variance. Cm. Zika requested that the tree in the bulb remain, expressing concern with all the trees recently removed in the shopping center. Cm. North clarified that Staff recommended that Condition #10 remain as recommended, and Staff would work with the Applicant to come up with the most effective restriping plan. Mr. Carrington agreed that Condition #10 should remain as proposed (including modifications and language addition as discussed during the staff report presentation), indicating that Staff would also worl~ with the property owner to resolve some traffic cireulation problems in the parking lot. On motion from Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. Downey, including modifications to Conditions #10 and #23, and with a vote of 4-0, the Planning Commission adopted Regular Meeting PCM-1994-70 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] . ~ ~ ! RESOLUTION NO. 94-020 APPROVING PA 94-026 MY SPACE TO GROW CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW THE OPERATION OF A DAY CARE CENTER (COMMUNITY FACILITY) IN A C-2, GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AT 7802 DUHLIN BOULEVARD * * * * * * * * * * NEW OR UNFINISHED BUSINESS None * * * * * * * * * * OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Tong indicated that Planning Staff would take the Schaefer Ranch General Plan Amendment study initiation request to the July 11th City Council meeting. Cm. North asked if the request was for 450 homes. Mre Tong responded that the request covered approximately 450 acres; however, did not call out the number of units. The preliminary discussions had approximately 300-450 dwelling units; however, the Applicant would determine the number of dwelling units as part of the study. Cm. Burnham asked if the proposal was a spin-off from the Eden Development. Mr. Tong indicated that the area was involved with Western Dublin; ' however, the proposed concept was different. The Applicant proposed to follow many of the mitigation measures identified in the Western Dublin EIR. ~ Mrs Tong further indicated that the Applicants for the Eastern Dublin Prezoning may ask the Commission to have a special public hearing sometime after the July 18th meeting or try to get on the July 18th agenda. Staff was currently working with the Applicant to complete their prezoning application, which had been initiated by the City Council. Cm. North asked if the prezoning was for Homart. Mr. Tong responded no, the prezoning would involve 1,500 acres in Eastern Dublin, which was represented by Ted Fairfield and several other property owners. Commissioners discussed the possibility of a special meeting and indicated that a special meeting during the summer may not be a good idea due to vacation schedules of Staff and other interested persons Regular Meeting PCM-1994-71 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] s Cm. North reiterated his concern regarding the parking situation at Home Express. After measuring several parking spaces in the center, he determined that the spaces did not meet the standard size requirements for either regular or compact spaces. Commission and Staff discussed the matter and indicated that, although the Applicant was responsible for complyinq with the approved site plan, Staff would re-check the parking dimensions in the shopping center for compliance and report back to the Planning Commission. Cm. North referred to the recent Staff approval of a Minor Amendment to Conditional Use Permit for Burger King for additional outdoor seating, and requested clarification as to the definitian of "minora" Mr. Tong responded that the 1992 zoning ordinance amendment, in response to the management audit, included the provision that "the Planning Director may grant approval of minor amendments to CUP's originally approved by the Planning eommission or City Council upon determination that the arnendment is minor (including but not limited to: a) physical expansion not to exceed 1,000 square feet; b) expansion of hours of operation; or C) operation expansion)." Cm. North asked if the additional seating area would be less than 1,000 square feet. Mr. Tong responded yes. Cm. Burnham clarified that Burger King would lose one handicapped parking space. Mro Tong indicated that two handicapped stalls would be placed in the new area, and retain one conventional stall in the same place. Handicapped stall requirements would be met. Cm. Burnham advised that during three visits to Burger King in the last week, a delivery truck had been parked in the handicapped parking space for extended periods of time. Mr. Tong indicated that illegal parking in a handicapped stall ~aas a police enforcement matter. Cm. North asked if it would be appropriate to inform Burger King management of complaints made about delivery trucks parking in handicapped stalls. Mr. Tong indicated that Burger King management could be informed; however, the more direct route would be to call the Policee Cm. Downey informed the Commission that he no longer lived in the City of Dublin; therefore, he was regretfully resigning from the Planning Commission. He sincerely enjoyed the learning experience; although, he still did not understand traffic impact fees! Regular Meeting PCM-1994-72 July 5, 1994 [7-5min] o. ~ ! • Commission and Staff extended sincere farewells and thanks to Cm. Downey. Cm. Burnham asked what the procedures were to fill the vacancy. Mr. Tong indicated that the Mayor and a subcommittee of the Council would recruit for prospective Commissioners. The subcommittee would interview the applicants and make a reeommendation to the full Council, who would accept or not accept the recommendation. Cm. Burnham recommended the recruitment take place as soon as possible, in preparation for Eastern and Western Dublin meetings, Mra Tong agreed. * * * * * * * * * * ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. * * * * * * * * * * Respectfully submitted, ~ Plann ng Co ission Chairperson ATTEST: Laurence L.
