ZONING HISTORY:

1464 Z .U.:
On October 22, 1980, the Alameda County
Planning Director approved a Site Development
Review Application for the location of six
office buildings on approximately 2.75 acres
of an approximate 23.49 acre parcel. Four of
the six buildings were constructed, one of
which has since burned down.
On April 2, 1981, the Alameda County Board of
Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 81-26
rezoning an approximate 23.49 acre parcel
from the C-2, General Commercial District to
a PD, Planned Development, allowing C-O uses,
and some C-1 uses, subject to the C-0
District regulations.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Section 8-31.18 states if a proposed structure, facility or
land use not indicated on a Land Use and Development Plan
approved by the City Council does not materially change the
provisions of the approved Land Use and development Plan, the
structure, facility or land use may be permitted subject to
securing a Conditional Use Permit.
Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed
to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the
public need; 2) whether or not the use will be properly related
to other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the
vicinity; 3) whether or not the use will materially affect the
health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity;
and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific
intent clauses or performance standards established for the
district in which it is located.
Section 8-1.4(a) states that no real property, or portion
thereof, within the City of Dublin shall be divided into two or
more parcels for the purpose of sale, lease or financing, whether
immediate or future, unless prior thereto a Tentative Map is
acted upon and a Final Map or Parcel Map has been filed in
accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be
Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15315, Class 15 of
the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. The
proposed project consists of the division of an existing improved
parcel into two separate parcels.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the August 19, 1991 hearing was
published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property
owners, and posted in public buildings.
ANALYSIS: =
The Applicant, Ron Archer, representing Enea Properties, is
requesting approval of Tentative Parcel Map 6179 to allow the
division of an existing improved 4.5 acre+ parcel into two
separate parcels (Lot 1=3.4 Acres, Lot 2=~.1 Acres) and a
Conditional Use Permit request for a minor modification to the
existing Planned Development General Provisions to allow a
minimum lot frontage of twenty-five feet at 6665-6690 Amador
Plaza Road.
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map 6179 will allow the
property owners, Enea Properties, to sell the newly created Lot
.. Lot line adjustment will be processe~0ko extend the
~ort~ern boundary~°f Lot 2 approximately ~ ~eet to the north, to
provide twenty additional required parking spaces on-site.
Parking for both Lot 1 (243 spaces provided, 148 spaces required)
and Lot 2 (80 spaces provided, 74 spaces required) will continue
to comply with the Parking Regulations within the Zoning
Ordinance. With exception of the lot line adjustment, the added
parking, and the related perimeter landscaping, no other physical
changes to the site are proposed.
The existing site possesses two driveways for access onto
the site. In order to maintain individual access to each lot, an
Emergency Access Easement (EVA) will be recorded. The EVA will
extend across the driveway at the northwestern tip of lot 2, and
continue southerly across lot 1, to maintain joint access to
existing Buildings "B" and "C".
Section 8-60.3 of the Zoning Ordinance states that whenever
a new building site is hereinafter created by division of an
existing Lot, the effective lot frontage of each such new
building site shall be equal to one-half of either the required
or the actual median lot width thereof, whichever is greater.
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use
Permit to modify the existing Planned Development General
Provisions to allow a minimum lot frontage of twenty-five feet.
The median lot width of Lot 1 is over 500 feet, requiring an
effective lot frontage of approximately 250 feet. The median lot
width of Lot 2 is approximately 180 feet, requiring an effective
-3-
PAGE --~ OF / '~
lot frontage of approximately 90 feet. The existing parcel has
an effective lot frontage of approximately 117.5 feet. The
location of the existing parcel at the southern terminus of
Amador Plaza Road, on a cul-de-sac, has resulted in a deep and
wide lot with a comparatively narrow lot frontage.
The division of the existing lot proposed by Tentative
Parcel Map 6179 should not affect the operation of the existing
office complex. Additionally, the proposed minor modification to
the Planned Development General Provisions to allow a reduced
effective lot frontage of twenty-five feet will not affect
ingress or egress to the existing office complex.
This project has been reviewed by other City departments and
affected agencies and their comments have been incorporated into
the Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends approval of the
Applicant's request for Tentative Parcel Map 6179 and a
Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the
draft resolutions, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively.
