Permits.
Conditional Use Permit to Amend the Development Plan for PA 96-043:
A. The proposed amendment to the Development Plan for Planned Development Zoning District (PA
96-043) substantially complies with and does not materially change the provisions or intent of the
adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance for the site in that the City Council
Resolution approving the Development Plan for PA 96-043 called for a retail commercial
development consisting of ±19.9 acres of which this project is a part and day care centers are
considered conditional uses in comparable retail commercial zoning districts.
Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a Day Care Center at 6665 Amador Plaza Road:
A. The day care center use and outdoor playground are compatible with other land uses, transportation
and service facilities in the vicinity because: 1) the day care center would be located within an
existing office building surrounded by a combination of office and commercial uses, 2) an acoustical
report was prepared and concluded that the anticipated outdoor activities by the day care center would
not impact adjacent office users because the noise generated from children playing outdoors
compared to the existing traffic noise would be negligible, and 3) the day care center would generate
less trips than an Office use and thus would not adversely impact existing transportation and service
facilities.
B. The day care center use and outdoor playground will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare
because: 1) the day care center will conform to the standards established in the Development Plan for
the Planned Development Zoning District (PA 96-043) as well as all applicable regulations contained
within the Dublin Zoning Ordinance and 2) conditions of approval have been applied to the project to
ensure on-going compatibility with the project's surroundings.
C. The day care center use and outdoor playground will not be injurious to property or improvements in
the neighborhood because: 1) the project will be located on a developed site and has been designed to
2of19
minimize impacts to existing improvements, and 2) the project has been conditioned to comply with
all codes, regulations and requirements relating to the site improvements.
D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation and public utilities and services to
ensure that the day care center use and outdoor playground would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety and welfare because: 1) the project has been reviewed by various City departments and
agencies all of whom have commented that adequate public services are available, and 2) conditions
of approval have been incorporated into the project to ensure that existing public services remain
adequate for the site.
E. The site is physically suitable for the day care center use and outdoor playground because: 1) it is a
developed site, generally flat in topography; and 2) the site has adequate parking to serve the use.
F. The day care center use and outdoor playground will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses,
development regulations, or performance standards established for the Planned Development Zoning
District (PA 96-043) in that: 1) the project is consistent with a retail commercial development, 2) a
minor amendment to the Development Plan has been approved to add Day Care Centers as a
conditional use, and 3) the project complies with all other standards established for the Planned
Development Zoning District and applicable portions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
G. The day care center use and outdoor playground is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and the
West Dublin BART Specific Plan in that the use is consistent with the Retail/Office and Commercial
B land use designations which have been adopted for the site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City
of Dublin does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Site
Development Review:
Site Development Review to construct an outdoor playground:
A. Approval of the project, as conditioned, is consistent with the purpose and intent of Chapter
8.104, Site Development Review of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance as the project has been
designed to promote orderly, attractive and harmonious site and structural development
compatible with the surrounding properties, and is consistent with the development regulations
and requirements of the Planned Development Zoning District in which it would be located with
respect to setbacks, height, parking, and landscaping because the outdoor playground is an
attractive addition to the office building and would be screened with fencing that complies with
the requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance as well as landscaping to soften the appearance.
B. The project, as conditioned, complies with the policies of the General Plan, the West Dublin
BART Specific Plan and the Planned Development Zoning District Regulations for PA 96-043
and with all other requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance because: 1) the outdoor
playground is necessary and customary to the development of day care centers which further the
goals of the General Plan, West Dublin BART Specific Plan and Planned Development Zoning
Ordinance which encourages the development of retail commercial uses within the project area;
and 2) the outdoor playground complies with all requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance
with respect to landscaping, fencing and aesthetics.
C. The project, as conditioned, will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or
working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare because
the project consists of the construction of an outdoor playground and associated site
improvements which are designed to ensure the health and safety of persons working in the
3 of 19
vicinity by providing adequate site distances within the parking lot and surrounding the outdoor
playground and adequate signage to direct the motoring public when maneuvering within the
project area.
D. The approved site development, including site layout, structures, vehicular access, circulation and
parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety and similar elements, has been designed to provide
a desirable environment for the project because: 1) the outdoor playground is located to the rear of
the existing office building and out of the general path of travel for other users of the office
development, 2) vehicular access and circulation has been designed to direct users of the day care
center to the site and to minimize conflicts with other users of the site, 3) all fencing has been
designed to provide visual surveillance to those areas enclosed by fencing, 4) all landscaping will
be kept at minimal heights and fullness so as not to create visual obstructions throughout the site,
and 5) new landscaping will be planted to enhance the overall appearance of the site.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the project because: 1) it is a
developed site with area and dimensions that will accommodate the outdoor playground, and 2)
ample parking exists for all users of the site despite the loss of parking to construct the outdoor
playground.
F. The project will not impact views because the outdoor playground will be located to the rear of an
existing office building where it is screened by existing and proposed landscaping.
G. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: 1) the site is fully
developed, relatively flat, with no significant topographic features, and 2) conditions of approval
have been applied to the project to ensure that all modifications to the site layout comply with all
applicable codes, regulations, and requirements.
H. Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors,
screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been
incorporated into the project, and as conditions of approval, in order to insure compatibility of this
development with the development's design concept and the character of adjacent buildings.
I. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant
materials, provisions and similar elements have been considered to ensure visual relief and an
attractive environment for the public because: 1) all existing landscaping including trees will be
protected, 2) existing landscaping will be enhanced with the addition of plants to fill in bare spots,
3) new landscaping will be installed to appropriately screen and soften the outdoor playground,
and 4) all new landscaping will be consistent with the existing landscape theme throughout the
site.
J. The approval of the Site Development Review for the project, as conditioned, is consistent with
the Dublin General Plan and with the West Dublin BART Specific Plan because the project
supports the development of uses consistent with the land use designations of Retail/Office and
Commercial B.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City
of Dublin does hereby approve a Conditional Use Permit to amend the Development Plan for PD, Planned
