A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AMEND CHAPTER 8.08 (DEFINITIONS),
CHAPTER 8.36 (DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS) AND 8.76 (OFF-STREET PARKING AND
LOADING REGULATIONS) OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
CITY-WIDE
PLPA-2012-00028
WHEREAS, the City is initiating amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to bring greater
clarity and consistency to existing regulations; and
WHEREAS, amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) to create a new
definition for Accessory Storage -Multi-Family; and
WHEREAS, amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.36 (Development Regulations) to
create a minimum requirement for accessory storage in the R-2 (Two-Family), R-M (Multi-
Family) and comparable PD (Planned Development) Zoning Districts; and
WHEREAS, amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.76 (Off- Street Parking and Loading
Regulations) to establish a consistent guest parking standard for apartments and condominiums
and limit the use of tandem parking for residential uses; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State
Guidelines and City Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the CEQA, Staff is recommending that the proposed Ordinance
be found exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3)
states that CEQA applies only to those projects that have the potential to cause a significant
effect on the environment. The adoption of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA
because the Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but
it sets forth the regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed
to be constructed or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has
no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately;
and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the City of Dublin Planning Commission
recommending City Council approval of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on July
10, 2012; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law;
and
