ATTACHMENT 2
BACKGROUND:
All American Label has been in business for more than 10 years and they have been at their current location
for the past 3 years. All American Label is a full service label printer business. The business has expanded
over the past few years and consequently All American Label has c utgrown their existing building. The
proposed outdoor storage area will be used to provide additional storage space far All American Label
business.
ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit
Chapter 8.12 of the Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land) indicates that an
equipment and materials storage yard is permitted in the M-1 Zoning )/~istrict with a Conditional Use Permit
reviewed by the Planning Commission.
The Applicant has requested approval of a 4,456 square foot outdoor storage area adjacent to the building in
the northern portion of the site (Refer to Attachment 2). The Iron Horse Trail is located west of the project
site. Mature vegetation exists along the western property boundary, wr ich will screen the proposed outdoor
storage area from individuals utilizing the trail. An apartment complex is located approximately 90 feet north
of the project site. There is an existing wall along the adjacent property located north of the project site,
which will screen the outdoor storage area from residents in this apartment complex. The other surrounding
properties include industrial uses.
The Applicant is unable to add onto the existing building because the c~~rrent Floor Area Ratio of the project
site is the maximum as allowed by the City of Dublin's General Plan. The project site's Land Use
Designation is Business Park/Industrial, which allows a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 0.40. The current
Floor Area Ratio for the project site is 0.40; therefore, the proposed outdoor storage area is the only avenue
available to the Applicant to create additional storage space on his properly.
The proposed outdoor storage area will serve as an on-site location f ~r All American Label to store their
business's inventory. The Applicant will be storing a variety of materials in the covered outdoor storage area
including pressure sensitive paper and corrugated boxes. Currently, Al'. American Label has their inventory
stored outside and the inventory is brought inside every night. The addition of the covered storage area to the
site will provide protection to the inventory from the elements and also discourage vandalism.
Parkingi Anal sis
The City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance contains off-street parking requirements by use type. A Light
Industrial Use Type is required to provide 1 parking space per 400 square feet of general purpose area, plus 1
parking space per 1,000 square feet oi'warehouse or distribution area. ~s previously stated, the office area is
2,800 square feet and the warehouse area is 21,194 square feet. T'he proposed outdoor storage area is required
to provide 1 parking space per 1,000 square feet. The proposed outdoor storage area is 4,456 square feet.
A total of 29 on-site parking spaces sue required for this use based on the existing and proposed uses (see
Table below).
2of5
Parkin
Light Industrial Use Type (ac listed in the Zoning Ordinance)-
Warehouse = 1 space per 1,000 square feet
General Purpose Area = 1 space per 400 square feet Parking required per
City Code
General Purpose Area - 2,800 7 parking spaces
Printing/Warehouse - 21, I94 square feet 21 parking spaces
Proposed Outdoor Storage Area - 4,456 square feet 4 parking spaces
10% Parking Reduction -3 parking spaces
Total Parking Spaces Required 29 parking spaces
The Applicant is able to accommociate all 29 parking spaces on site, which includes an overall 10%
reduction for the site as allowed b}~ Section 8.76.OSO.D of the Zoning Ordinance. The 10% reduction
accounts for the need and use of parking throughout an average day. A condition has been placed on the
project which requires the Applicatrt to re-stripe the parking area to achieve the 29 required parking
spaces on-site (Condition No. 15, Attachment 1).
The proposed equipment and materials storage yard is appropriate for the site because the proposed
location of the outdoor storage area is located in the Siena Court B~zsiness Park, which has a variety of
industrial uses. The storage area is in association with an existing building and is compatible with the
existing and allowed uses of the project site. The draft findings for this Conditional Use Permit request
can be found on pages 2 and 3 of Attachment I .
Site Development Review
The Applicant is proposing a 4,456 square foot covered storage area. The color and materials are
consistent with the existing buildin€;. The outdoor storage area will be supported by 11 steel columns,
which will be painted to match the existing building (please refer to Attachment 4 for color sample). The
roof of the outdoor storage area will consist of steel roof panels pai:ited surf sand to match the existing
roof (please refer to Attachment 5 far roof color sample). The proposed height of the roof of the storage
area ranges in height from 16'4" (portion closest to the existing building) to 24'8" (portion farthest from
the existing building). The covered outdoor storage area is consistent with the height of the existing
building.
The proposed modifications are appropriate for the site because the outdoor storage area is compatible with
the existing building and the use of the site. The project site is located ~Nithin the Sierra Business Park and it
is surrounded by a variety of industrial uses. The site is visible from the Alamo Creek Trail; however,
existing vegetation along the rear of the property will help screen thy: covered outdoor storage area from
individuals utilizing the trail. The draft findings. for the Site Development Review can be found on pages 3
and 4 of Attachment l .
Public Notice
In accordance with State law, a public notice regarding this hearing was mailed to all property owners and
occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project. A public notice was also published in the Valley
Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. To date, the City has not received comments
or objections from surrounding property owners or tenants regarding the current proposal.

Section 15301 (Minor alteration of existing facilities).
CONCLUSION:
The proposed covered outdoor storage area at All American Label vrill provide the property owner with
additional storage space on the property. The proposed project, as conditioned, is consistent with the
Dublin General Plan and the Dublin Zoning District in which the project site is located and represents an
appropriate project for the site.
