primarily residential area that will be convenient to parents in the vicinity that want to
use the services of the day care center. 2) The facility is close to San Ramon Road and
Highway 680 which will provide good access to the day care center for parents in the
surrounding area.
B. It will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the

approval have been placed on the Project limiting outdoor play activities to between the
hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and limiting the number of children within the play area at any
given time to 30 to minimize the potential for noise impacts on surrounding residential
uses. A Noise Study dated July 15, 2011, prepared for the project, states that the noise
from children using the proposed project's play yards is expected to be within "normally
acceptable" levels of the city's General Plan Noise Element guidelines for single-family
residential development. The play yard noise as received at the adjacent homes would
comply with the standards of the State of California's Model Noise Ordinance.
C. It will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood in that: 1 }the
Project utilizes existing space within the former office building for the operation of the
Day Care Center; and, 2) the Project site provides adequate on-site parking for the Day
Care Center in accordance with Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading
Regulations).
D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities
and services to ensure That the. proposed use and related structures would not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare in that: 1) the Project is located on a
fully improved site which was previously utilized as an office; and, 2) the Project site has
adequate provisions for .public access from Silvergate Drive and Dublin Green Drive as

related structures being proposed in that: 1) with minor modifications, the Project can
utilize a portion of the existing building and can convert a portion of the landscape area
around the building for playground use.
F. It will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or
performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is located in that: 1)
the Project will not generate traffic congestion nor will it overload public services or
utilities; and, 2) the Project will. not generate excessive noise, illumination, unsightliness,
odor, smoke or other objectionable influences.
G. It is consistent with the General Plan and with any applicable Specific Plans: 1) the
project is consistent with the Retail/Office land use; 2) child care clusters are permitted
within the Retail/Office land use; and 3) the project is not within a Specific Plan area.

with any applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines in that: 1) the Project complies
with the development regulations and requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance
including height, setbacks, .fencing and accessory structures; and, 2} the Project is

D. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the approved
development in that: the Project is consistent with the previous use of the site as an
office in that the day care center will use the office building for indoor activities for the
day care center and there is adequate space for a play area and .parking on site.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic feafures are addressed in that: 1) the Project
will utilize a low retaining wall to provide a .playground area that has a minimum slope.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of design, site
layout, the architectural relationship with the site and .other buildings, screening of
unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a
project that is harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other development
in the vicinity in that: 1) the Project is consistent with the previous use of the site as an
3of21
office in that no exterior architectural changes will be made to the building; 2) the
outdoor play area will be located in a portion of the site that will have minimum impact
on the surrounding residences; 3) the wrought iron fencing with mesh .screening that
surrounds the play area will screen the playground from the public right-of-way; and 4)
the new playground equipment is age appropriate for the children being cared for by the
day care center.
G. bandscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage
of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated info the project to

circulation patterns which were established for the office building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
find that the Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to
Sections 15301 and 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines because it entails only a minor alteration
