the scope of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment, for which a
Program EIR was certified (SCH 91103064); therefore, the proposed project is within the scope
of the Program and EIR and no further environmental analysis is required; and

and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports,
recommendations and testimony herein above set forth and used its independent judgment to
evaluate the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Dublin does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding the proposed Site
Development Review:
ATTACHMENT 3
A. The proposed Fiat Dealership is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104, Site
Development Review, of the Zoning Ordinance, with the General Plan and with any
applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines because: 1) the proposed project will be
compatible with the surrounding area because the development is designed with respect
to the adjacent properties which are designated for auto sale and services; 2) the
proposed Project will enhance the property values of the existing site; 3) the proposed
Project is well designed and is compatible with the surrounding area; 4) adequate
vehicular and pedestrian access to the site will be provided; and 5) the Project includes
the use of landscaping materials and high quality building materials consistent with the
purpose of Chapter 8.104, Site Development Review.
B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1)
the zoning for the site is PD (Planned Development) and the proposed dealership is a
conditionally permitted use type; 2) the Site Development Review approval is subject to
approval of a companion Conditional Use Permit to allow operation of an auto vehicle
sales and service use; 3) the dealership, as conditioned, is compatible with surrounding
uses; 4) the overall design of the Project is compatible with the neighborhood in which it
is located; 5) the proposed use will have adequate parking to support the facility as
required by Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking Regulations, and 6) the project is consistent
with development standards of the PD zoning district.
C. The design of the Project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties
and the lot in which the Project is proposed because: 1) the proposed Project site is
located in an urbanized area that is currently developed with a variety of building types
and uses; 2) adequate access is provided to the site from John Monego Court; 3) the site
is currently developed with a dealership, the Project will allow for the sale, service and
storage of vehicles which is consistent with the surrounding uses; and 4) as conditioned,
the building will be operated in such a manner as to reduce impacts on the surrounding
neighborhood.
D. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the approved
development because: 1) the General Plan allows for General Commercial uses on the
site such as the proposed AutomobileiVehicle Sales and Service facility, which is a
conditional use in the PD, Planned Development Zoning District; 2) the Planned
Development established development capacity for the General Motors Auto Mall; 3) the
proposal is consistent with the anticipated development capacity for the overall General
Motors Auto Mall site; 4) the building will have a maximum height of 26 feet which is
compatible with the surrounding development; and 5) access to the site is from John
Monego Court, which is an existing roadway.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: the Project
site is relatively flat.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the 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 because: 1) the Project has been well designed to complement the
surrounding neighborhood; 2) the scale of the building has been designed to be similar to
2
the surrounding buildings; and 3) as required by the conditions of approval, all HVAC
equipment and all conduits or piping will be screened from view.
G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage
of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure
visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public because: 1)
the existing landscaping was approved by the Planning Commission in October 2011
with the Site Development Review for the Kia; 2) the applicant proposes minor
modifications to the existing landscaping, which includes replacing the no mow fescue on
the northern property boundary with permeable pavers; 3) the site includes a variety of
trees and shrubs throughout the site; 4) the site incorporates drought tolerant plant
materials as required by the Zoning Ordinance; and 5) the project shall adhere to
Chapter 8.88 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance (Water Efficient Landscaping Regulations).
H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure proper circulation for bicyclists,
pedestrians and automobiles because: 1) access to the site will be provided from two
driveways on John Monego Court; 2) the Project has been reviewed by the Public Works
Department and the Fire Department and adequate access and circulation has been
provided on-site; and 3) bicycle racks will be installed near the front of the building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby approve said
application, Site Development Review for the Fiat Dealership, to construct a 13,130 square foot
building, parking lot and related improvements located at 4300 John Monego Court as generally
depicted in the Project Plans prepared by MacKay & Somps and Avanessian Associates
