PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed project area is located within the westerly portion of Dublin and contains approximately 50
acres of land. The site lies north of the I-580 freeway and Dublin Boulevard and west of the terminus of
Betlan Drive at 7500 Inspiration Drive in the western hillside area. The project site is located on a large
knoll within the west hillside area which overlooks central Dublin to the west and portions of Pleasanton
to the south. The site is characterized by steeply sloping hillsides facing Dublin Boulevard and the I-580
freeway and properties to the east. Existing topographic elevations range from a low of approximately 550
feet above sea level to a height of approximately 830 feet at the top of a small knoll at the very northerly
portion of the site.
The project site was previously graded to create the roadbed for Inspiration Drive that provides access to
existing improvements for the religious facility and school on the site. Grading has also occurred to
accommodate existing buildings, parking areas and outdoor playfields. Other portions of the site,
including the hillside that forms the easterly boundary of the site, a small knoll on the north side of the
site and portions of the southwest portion of the site, remain in a natural, ungraded condition.
The proposed project includes approval of a Master Plan development program consisting o£ a Planned
Development Rezoning and Development Plan (Stage 1 and 2} for the expansion of several buildings; a
Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the property into three separate parcels; a General Plan Amendment for
1.4 acres for future development of multi-family housing; a Conditional Use Permit and Site
Development Review for the interim use of modular buildings and a electronic reader board; and, an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Valley Christian Center. The requested land use entitlements
are discussed further in the Analysis section of this report.
The requested entitlements would allow the expansion of the existing 118,300 square foot religious
facility and school on the site by 187,000 square feet, as follows:
• Expansion of existing sanctuary (increasing the seating capacity to 2,000), pre-school, fellowship
hall and administration building (anticipated to be 3 story construction) to include 90,000
additional square feet;
• Construction of an additional 1,000 square feet to another pre-school facility (2 stories);
• Construction of a 45,000 square foot junior and senior high school administration building (3
stories);
• Construction of a new 15,000 square foot sports building (2 stories);
• of a new 30,000 square foot senior activity center (2 stories);
• Construction of a new 6,000 square foot chapel building (2 stories);
• Two modular buildings, on an interim basis, totaling 5,500 square feet for administrative office
use until the administration building is constructed;
• Continued use of two existing modular classroom buildings until the junior and senior high school
administration building is constructed;
• New parking areas to be constructed along the west side of Inspiration Drive near existing parking
areas to accommodate the expanded buildings;
• Potential future development of 22 multi-family dwelling units on the northwest corner of Dublin
Boulevard and Inspiration Drive; and,
• The addition of aLED-readout message sign to be located on the south wall of the school
administration building. The sign would be mounted against the building and would measure 12
feet in length and 30 inches in height.
With the exception of the chapel, which would be sited on the easterly portion of the site, and the senior
center adjacent to Inspiration Drive, the new and expanded uses described above would be constructed
adjacent to existing uses and buildings on the project site. The proposed development plan (Exhibit A-2 of
Attachment 3) is intended to describe the ultimate development configuration on the site. The precise
location and design of individual buildings are subject to additional review by the City of Dublin through
future Site Development Review (SDR) applications; however, the City will require that the maximum
amount of development as identified in the plan and analyzed in the project EIR will not be exceeded.
Existing Facilities and Surrounding Land Use
Existing buildings on the Valley Christian Center site total 118,300 square feet. At the present time, the
following buildings and facilities are located on the Valley Christian Center site:
• Sanctuary/Fellowship Hall building (including pre-school/day care uses) with 550 sanctuary seats
(14,400 square feet);
• Pre-school building serving 100 students (10,000 square feet);
• Junior/Senior high school serving 450 students (one building of 8,800 square feet, one building of
32,600 square feet);
• Elementary School serving 750 students (52,500 square feet)
The site also contains 510 surface parking spaces, a turfed sports playfield and an asphalt play area that
also serves as an overflow parking lot. With the expanded square footage, the facilities are projected to be
a total of 305,300 square feet in size.
Valley Christian Center was approved under a Conditional Use Permit granted by Alameda County in
1978, prior to the incorporation of the area by Dublin in 1982 (source: City of Dublin Planning
Commission staff report 8/11/98). Subsequent approvals were granted on the site by the City, the most
notable being approval of the elementary school in 1994. A playfield expansion was approved as a Site
Development Review by the City in 1995. In 1998, the City granted Site Development Review approval
to locate two temporary modular units for classrooms on the property. Under the conditions of the Site
Development Review, the use of the modular units was to terminate in September 2003. Additionally, in
approving the Site Development Review for the temporary modular units, a condition requiring the
Applicant to submit a Master Plan for further expansion of the facility was included in the approval.
The General Plan land use designation of the site is Public/Semi-Public. The property is currently zoned
A Agricultural Zoning District which allows Public/Semi-Public uses and facilities. Land uses
surrounding the site include Dublin Boulevard and the I-580 freeway to the south, and townhouses and
open spaces immediately west of the site and also a recent subdivision fronting on Dublin Boulevard. A
low-density single family residential neighborhood has been developed north of the site, with a small
ridge separating the Valley Christian Center from the neighborhood. Single-family residences in the
Hansen Ranch development, have also been constructed east of the project site and are separated from the
majority of buildings and uses on the project site by a relatively steep downslope. To the west, an attached
townhouse project has been developed (California Highlands) at a medium-high residential density of
14.1-25 dwelling units per acre.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Development and Expansion Program
Activities envisioned within the expanded campus include church worship services, presently occurring at
9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on Sundays, weddings, funerals, group activities, concerts, conferences, child day
care and pre-school, adult day care, private educational activities (K-12, music school and bible school),
book and media sales, outdoor sports activities, senior living services, including Alzheimer care.
Temporary uses, including but not limited to crafts fairs, Christmas tree sales, school carnivals, fireworks
sales and similar uses would also occur. Many of these activities are presently on-going and would be
expanded under this development proposal.
In order to accommodate the increase in activities and attendance at the church and on campus, new
buildings or the expansion of existing buildings is necessary. The new buildings to be constructed consist
of a 45,000 square foot junior and senior high school administration building; a 15,000 square foot sports
building; a 30,000 square foot senior activity center; and, a 6,000 square foot chapel building Therefore,
the Applicant has submitted a complete expansion plan for the facility to developed over several years, as
shown in the Development Plan (Exhibit A-2 of Attachment 3). The buildings to be expanded due to the
existing church and school population, plus the anticipated growth over the next several years are the
existing sanctuary (increasing the seating capacity to 2,000); pre-school; fellowship hall; administration
building to include 90,000 additional square feet; and, another pre-school facility to include an additional
1,000 square feet.
Under the proposed expansion, the number of people at the site would increase for various activities as
follows:
Existing and Proposed Facility Populations
Activi Existin Pro osed (build out)
Worship Services 550 2,000
Pre-school 100 No change
Elementary School (K-6) 750 No change
Junior/Senior High (7-12) 450 650
Church Administration Staff 25 35
School Staff 145 155
Source: Project Applicant
No new worship service days or times are proposed from the existing schedule of two Sunday Morning
services.
To facilitate the various phases of the planned expansion, Valley Christian Center is requesting approval
of a General Plan Amendment, a Stage 1 and 2 Planned Development rezoning and Development Plan, a
Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review, and a Tentative Parcel Map. These entitlements
are discussed in detail below.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
A General Plan Amendment is being requested for approximately 1.4 acres of the site located at the
northwest corner of Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive to accommodate the residential component of
the proposed project. Exhibit A, Attachment 2, depicts the proposed General Plan Amendment area. No
specific design has yet been proposed for the residential component of the project. The dwelling units are
anticipated to be sold at market-rate prices. The project, when an actual development is proposed, will be
required to conform to the City's Inclusionary Ordinance.
The existing General Plan land use designation for this portion of the site is Public/Semi-Public, which
allows limited residential uses with approval of a PD-Planned Development rezoning. The proposed land
use designation is Medium-High Density Residential to permit residential development within a range of
14.1 to 25 units per acre. The maximum number of units which could be built on this property with the
density range is 30. The project (22 units) contemplated by the Valley Christian Center would have a
density of 15.71 units per gross acre, which is less than the mid-point density (19.5 units/acre) of the
range.
This density is consistent with the Implementing Policy of Section 2.1.1, Housing Availability of the
Land Use Element of the General Plan. The Implementing Policy reads as follows: "Designate sites
available for residential development in the primary planning area for medium to medium-high density
where site capability and access are suitable and where the higher density would be compatible with
existing residential development nearby." The adjacent Kaufman and Broad California Highlands project
is designated Medium-High Density Residential and was developed at a density of 15.38 dwelling units
per acre. As the Applicant is proposing to develop 22 dwelling units at a density of 15.71 dwelling units
per acre, the project will be compatible with the adjacent California Highlands project. Additionally, it is
appropriate for schools, both public and private to be located near residential neighborhoods in close
proximity to the students they serve. The proposed Valley Christian Center General Plan Amendment
will, therefore, be consistent with adjacent residential development.
Approval of the General Plan Amendment requires action by the City Council based on a
recommendation from the Planning Commission. As the Applicant's proposal meets the intent of the
goals, objectives and implementing policies of the General Plan, Staff recommends the Planning
Commission recommend the General Plan Amendment to the City Council.
STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2 PD-PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING
The Applicant has requested both a Stage 1 and Stage 2 PD-Planned Development to rezone the site from
the existing A-Agricultural zoning district. This rezoning is being pursued under the "Planned
Development" Zoning District of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 8.32). The purpose of the
Planned Development zoning district is to create a more desirable use of the land and a more coordinated
development than would otherwise be possible under a single zoning district. A Planned Development
rezoning and Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan is proposed to establish regulations for the use,
development, improvement, and maintenance of the property as required by Chapter 8.32 of the Dublin
Zoning Ordinance. Approval of the Planned Development rezoning requires action by the City Council
based on a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
The proposed land uses and expansion areas for the Valley Christian Center Master Plan are shown in the
Resolution in Attachment 3, along with the necessary findings that must be made. Exhibit A-1 of
Attachment 3 establishes the proposed Planned Development (PD) zoning for the property or regulations
for the rezoning (including permitted and conditional uses and development regulations). The
Development Plan is shown in Exhibit A-2 of Attachment 3. The Stage 1 and 2 Planned Development
Rezoning and Development Plan, required by the Planned Development zoning regulations, depicts the
comprehensive development concept for the site and the project plans, including the proposed site,
architectural, landscape and other plans.
The Zoning Ordinance differentiates between a Stage 1 PD and a Stage 2 PD in that the information
required for a Stage 1 Planned Development rezoning is more general than the information required for a
Stage 2 Planned Development action. A Stage 1 Planned Development application requires basic
information about proposed land uses and densities, maximum amount of development proposed, a
phasing plan, a master landscape plan and statements requiring consistency with the General Plan and any
applicable Specific Plan.
Stage 2 Planned Development rezoning requests must be accompanied by all of the Stage 1 information
plus development regulations, architectural standards and other more detailed information. Under the
Zoning Ordinance, a Planned Development must receive both Stage 1 and Stage 2 approvals. These can
be done simultaneously or sequentially. For the expansion of the facilities at the Valley Christian Center,
the applicants have requested both Stage 1 and Stage 2 Planned Development approvals for the 37 acres
located in the approximate center of the site (Parcel 1).
A Stage 1 Planned Development approval has also been requested for the 1.4 acres proposed residential
portion of the site (Parcel 2), and the 12.3 acres of the site located on the east side of Inspiration Drive
(Parcel 3). However, no development is proposed at this time for Parcel 3, and the residential
development is conceptual at this time. If actual development of Parcels 2 and 3 is proposed in the future,
subsequent Stage 2 Planned Development rezonings must be approved prior to any future construction in
these areas.
Planned Development Rezonin,~/Master Plan
Following approval of a Planned Development rezoning, Site Development Review is required for the
project to address the layout of structures on the site, architectural design of new structures and for
exterior design changes such as the expansion of buildings under Section 8.104.030 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Assuming the City approves the rezoning request, all new buildings will be subject to Site
Development Review (SDR) approvals by the Director of Community Development. A condition is
included in the Resolution for the Tentative Parcel Map to require this level of review. Specific site plans,
building elevations and design, parking and access configurations, detailed landscaping and similar
detailed project information will be addressed at that stage of project review and should reflect the
standards established by the Development Plan for the project conceptual development plan approved
with the Stage 1 PD rezoning.
Site Access And Parking
Primary vehicular access to the project area would continue to be provided from Dublin Boulevard to
Inspiration Drive. Three existing driveways along the west side of Inspiration Drive would continue to be
used. Secondary site accesses would also continue to be provided north of the site, along Inspiration
Circle to Bay Laurel Street which connects to Silvergate Drive, and ultimately to Dublin Boulevard and
San Ramon Road
A total of 540 surface parking spaces presently exist on the site, located on the west side of Inspiration
Drive along the site frontage. Overflow parking has been provided on the asphalt play area on the west
side of the site during special events at the facility. An additiona1230 surface parking spaces are
proposed to be on the site in close proximity to existing parking areas, bringing the total number of on-site
parking spaces to 860. The parking stalls would be a mix of full size parking spaces, compact spaces and
handicap-accessible spaces.
The parking analysis for the project was included in the Transportation and Circulation section of the
project EIR. Using City ordinance standards for parking ratios identified with each use and activity at
various times at the site, the analysis determined that 667 parking spaces would be needed to meet the
peak parking demand on the site during worship services. Based on that analysis, the peak 667 parking
space demand for worship services could be met by the 860 spaces available on the site. Therefore,
adequate on-site parking would be provided to meet parking demand for the various land uses and
activities proposed for the project, and no parking additional parking impacts are associated with the
proposal.
Landscaping
A Master Landscape Plan has been prepared as part of the application and is included in the Project Plans,
Exhibit A-3 of Attachment 3. Under this plan, existing landscaping would remain and be enhanced with
the development. New plantings of California Live Oak and redwood trees would be included along g the
east property line to screen the site from areas to the east. Similar buffer plantings would be located on the
north side of the site, east of Inspiration Drive. New landscaping would also be installed adjacent to the
proposed chapel building, the senior activity building, within the proposed parking area, and adjacent to
other proposed buildings on the site. The landscaping will conform to the City of Dublin standards for
landscaping and streetscapes, and incorporate the use of native plants and shrubs. A Final Landscape Plan
will be required to be submittal prior to issuance of building permits.
Grading And Utilities
The siting and design of on-site improvements has been carefully planned to accommodate the expanded
building areas, and to also complement the existing site topography; minimize grading; ensure that the
development does not obscure or extend above the ridgeline; and avoid the small knolls and slopes on the
site, consistent with the policies of the General Plan and the City's grading standards.
The project site has been graded to accommodate existing structures and uses, as well as Inspiration
Drive. According to the Applicant, only minor amounts of grading would be needed as part of the
proposed development program to install modular units, expand existing buildings, install parking lot
areas, and construct the proposed chapel and senior center. Some grading would also be needed for the
proposed housing units on the northwest corner of Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive. The
preliminary grading for this area will be further refined when an actual proposal for residential
development is submitted.
Existing buildings and uses are served by water, sewer, natural gas and electrical power services.
Additional connections may be needed to supply increased quantities of water and sewage generation by
the increase in developed area on the site; however, capacity is available to meet the needs of the
development.
Inclusionary Housing Requirements
In accordance with the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, the Applicant will be required to provide 12.5%
of all housing to be affordable to those of very low, low and moderate incomes. The applicant proposes
to construct 7.5% and to pay an in-lieu fee of 5%. The City Council must approve payment of in lieu fees
[Section 8.68.040 of the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations]. The applicant will be subject to any revisions
to the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations in effect at the time of approval of the residential component.
Based on the number of units proposed to be built at this time and the current Inclusionary Zoning
Regulations, the Applicant will be required to build 1 unit to fulfill the requirements of the Inclusionary
Zoning Regulations.
As the Applicant's proposal meets the intent of the Planned Development (PD) Zoning District of the
Dublin Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 8.32), Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend the
rezoning of the property to the City Council.
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
The applicant has submitted a request to subdivide the 50-acre site into three smaller parcels as shown on
the Tentative Parcel Map, Exhibit A of Attachment 4. Tentative Parcel Maps are subject to approval by
the Planning Commission. The Resolution containing the Conditions of Approval for this action is
included in Attachment 4.
Parcel A, as shown on Exhibit A, would be the largest parcel with 37.0 acres and would include all
existing improvements associated with Valley Christian Center. Parcel A on the proposed tentative Parcel
map is shown as Parcel 1 on the Stage 1 and 2 PD Development Plan. Tentative Parcel A conforms to the
boundary of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Planned Development rezoning request.
Parcel B of the Tentative Parcel Map in Attachment 4, consists of 1.4 acres of land, and is located on the
northwest corner of Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive. This parcel conforms to the requested
General Plan Amendment and Stage 1 Planned Development area for future residential use (shown as
Parcel 2 on the Stage 1 and 2 PD Development Plan).
Parcel C of the Tentative Parcel Map in Attachment 4 is the remainder of the property and is located on
the east side of Inspiration Drive and would contain 12.7 acres of land. This area has been included in the
application for master planning purposes, but no specific land uses have yet been identified for this parcel.
As the Applicant's proposed Tentative Subdivision Map conforms with the proposed Planned
Development (PD) rezoning and the General Plan Amendment requests, Staff recommends the Planning
Commission approve the Tentative Subdivision Map, subject to the condition that this approval will be
effective only when the rezoning and the general plan amendment become effective (see Resolution in
Attachment 4).
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Temporary Modular Units
The Valley Christian Center is proposing to construct two additional temporary 5,000 square foot modular
buildings for use as administrative offices until the new permanent administrative offices are constructed.
These modular units would be connected by a covered walkway on an existing graded pad adjacent to
Building A (Oak Building). Presently, two modular buildings are located on the site east of Building 4
(the Sycamore Building} on the site plan in the main portion of the school campus area (see Exhibit A of
Attachment 5). These buildings are used as classrooms during school operating hours (7:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m.), and will be replaced with a permanent structure when Building B is constructed. A Conditional
Use Permit and Site Development Review are required for the modular buildings in an agriculturally
zoned area under the Zoning Ordinance, Sections 8.40.030 (Accessory Uses) and 8.104.030 (Projects
Subject to Site Development Review). These same requirements are included in the PD regulations.
The Site Development Review approval for the two existing modular units expires in September 2003, as
Valley Christian Center had anticipated that their subsequent Master Plan for the facility would be
approved and construction underway well before that date. However, with the need for an Environmental
Impact Report to be completed for the overall development plan for the church and school facilities,
processing of the plan has taken longer than originally anticipated. Valley Christian Center is now
requesting an extension to that time period for the classroom units. Staff has included a condition of
approval in Attachment 5 to allow afive-year extension for the use of the modular classroom buildings,
and also for the two new modular buildings to be used as the administrative offices, and as added this as a
special provision to the Planned Development (PD) Rezoning.
The five-year time period for the extension and new modular buildings was determined to be appropriate,
as the Applicant is required by the conditions of approval for the project to secure building permits and
commence construction on the project within five years and by May 31, 2008. Should it be necessary to
extend this time period, the proposed condition states that the Applicant must request an extension and
receive approval from the Planning Commission. Upon occupancy of the new permanent building, the
modular units will be required to be removed from the site.
The Applicant is also requesting a Conditional Use Permit, as required by Section 8.84.050(E) of the
Zoning Ordinance, for the addition of an electronic LED-readout message sign (readerboard) to be located
on the south wall of the school administration building. The sign would be mounted against the building
and would measure 12 feet in length and approximately 30 inches in height. The sign would provide
information on current and future activities and important events to students at the campus. The
electronic readerboard sign would not be visible from any other viewpoint off-site or beyond the school
campus, and is smaller than the maximum wall signage area of 250 square feet allowed by the Sign
Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance with Sign/Site Development Review. The conditions of approval for
the project (see Resolution, Attachment 4) require that the Applicant submit the actual design of the
readerboard to the Director of Community Development for approval, and also receive a building permit
for the signage, prior to installation.
The Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review for this project are related also to the Planned
Development (PD) rezoning and the General Plan Amendment requests. Because the rezoning and
general plan amendment must be approved by the Council and do not become effective until 30 days
following the adoption of the rezoning ordinance and 30 days following approval of the resolution
approving the general plan amendment, Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the
Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review subject to the condition that the approval will be
effective only when the rezoning and general plan amendment become effective following City Council
approval. (see Resolution in Attachment 5).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
To comply with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City prepared
a Notice of Preparation dated January 18, 2002, and circulated a Draft Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) on the Valley Christian Master Plan project (see Attachment 7). It was assigned the State
Clearinghouse number (SCH) 2002012070, and the public review period was from October 21 and
December 6, 2002. City staff extended the review period for an additional seven (7) days for the benefit of
surrounding residents who requested additional review time.
The Final EIR must be certified by the City Council with approval of the project. The Resolution
recommending City Council certify the document is contained in Attachment 1. The actual findings
which the City Council must make when certifying an EIR will be prepared prior to the City Council
hearing.
The Draft EIR reviewed the following topics: Aesthetics and Light and Glare, Air Quality, Transportation
and Circulation, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Water and Hydrology,
Land Use, Noise, Population and Housing, Utilities and Public Services and Parks and Recreation. As
required by CEQA, the DEIR also analyzed three alternatives for the project site: a "No Project"
alternative, a Housing Development Alternative and an Alternative Site Plan configuration.
The EIR concludes that with adherence to mitigation measures identified in the EIR, there will be no
significant unmitigated impacts associated with the approval of the General Plan Amendment, Planned
Development Rezoning [including the Development Plan (Master Plan), Tentative Parcel Map, SDR and
CUP and ultimate development of the project.
Several written comments were received from residents in the area during the public review period for the
Draft EIR. The Draft EIR, comments, written responses to comments and the related revisions to the
Draft EIR constitute the Final EIR for the project. A copy of this report has been provided to those who
commented on the Draft EIR. The following is a brief discussion of the pertinent issues of concern to
residents of the surrounding area:
Traffic Issues
Dublin Boulevard/Silvergate Avenue and Dublin Boulevard/Inspiration Drive Intersections
Traffic from the expansion project has been expressed as a concern by several residents in the area.
Comments from some of the residents in the surrounding Parcels are included in the Final EIR for the
project, and also responded to in that document (see Attachment 7). In analyzing the existing and
projected traffic at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard/Silvergate Avenue and the intersection of Dublin
Boulevard/Inspiration Drive, the traffic consultant for the project, Fehrs & Peers, considered the trip
distribution pattern for the proposed project based on the residence location for both school students and
church members. The project would draw traffic from both the local and regional population. Traffic
residing in other cities was generally assumed to travel to and from the nearest appropriate freeway on-
and off-ramps.
Based on the consultant's analysis, it was found that there would be no significant impacts due to the
project at these intersections if the project traffic generation rate is considered by itself. However, with
the project traffic added to the existing and anticipated future traffic in the area, both Dublin
Boulevard/Silvergate Drive and Dublin Boulevard/Inspiration Drive require signalization under during
peak hour traffic conditions. If these intersections are signalized, they will operate at LOS C or better,
which falls within the standards of the City of Dublin for signalized intersections. The signalization of
the Dublin Boulevard/Inspiration Drive intersection is already included in the Capital Improvement
Program Budget.
Mitigation for this traffic impact is included in the conditions of approval for the Tentative Parcel Map
(Attachment 4) requiring the Applicant to contribute afair-share amount to the funding of traffic signals
at the Dublin Boulevard/Silvergate Drive and Dublin Boulevard/Inspiration Drive. Payment of the fees
would be phased based on the use and size of the specific building (see Resolution, Attachment 4).
Widening of Dublin Boulevard
In addition to the signalization of the intersections, the Applicant will also be required to make afair-
share contribution to the funding of the future widening of Dublin Boulevard between Hansen Drive and
Silvergate Drive from two to four lanes. As the project will generate additional traffic, it contributes to
the need to widen this roadway. The monetary contribution will be based on the proportionate share of
traffic generated by the proposed project.
School Traffic Impact on Local Streets
Based on concerns expressed by residents in the neighborhood that the signs prohibiting turn movements
from the school campus are being violated, Fehrs and Peers also analyzed the likelihood of project traffic
traveling along Bay Laurel Street. Because of the turn restrictions in place prohibiting movements at the
project driveways to and from Bay Laurel Street between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days,
and based on traffic counts conducted by Fehr & Peers, there is a low violation rate, indicating a low rate
of vehicles traveling to and from the project site using Bay Laurel Street. Therefore, it is expected that
any expansion to the existing facility would result in no significant increase in traffic at Inspiration
Drive/Inspiration Circle and at Silvergate Drive/Bay Laurel Street.
However, compared to counts conducted immediately after the restrictions were put in place in 1999, it
appears that the violation rate may gradually be increasing and more drivers are making the prohibited
turns than before. Because of this, the project with the projected increase in students by 200 persons may
increase traffic on local streets near the project site, in spite of existing turning controls on project
driveways. A condition has been included in the conditions of approval to require that the school monitor
the peak hour turning movements at project driveways on one typical school day every six months
following the completion of the school expansion. Results of the monitoring must be reported to the City,
to demonstrate that the expansion does not increase the rate of vehicles violating these restrictions. If the
number of violators increases after the expansion, more stringent enforcement or other measures shall be
required by the school administration to limit the number of vehicles accessing the project site to or from
Bay Laurel Street, as determined by the City of Dublin Public Works Director.
Worship Service Traffic Impact on Local Streets
~o
A concern was raised by a resident that the increase in the number of persons attending worship services
to 2,000 at maximum attendance would increase traffic in the neighborhood, forcing traffic onto
Silvergate Drive and Bay Laurel. This concern was analyzed in the Final EIR for the project (see
Attachment 6, Final EIR). To determine the amount of church traffic that currently travels along Bay
Laurel Street on Sunday mornings, a "through traffic" survey was done on January 12, 2003. Partial
license plate numbers were recorded for vehicles in the church parking lot between 8:00 AM and 1:00
PM, and for vehicles traveling along Bay Laurel Street during the same time period. The partial license
plate numbers were compared to determine the number of vehicles traveling to and from the church along
Bay Laurel Street.
Survey results indicated that for the 5-hour period, a total of 221 vehicles traveled along Bay Laurel
Street. Of this total, 37 vehicles were traveling to or from the church. The highest number of vehicles
traveling to or from the church occurred between 8:00 and 9:00 AM when a total of 37 vehicles traveled
along Bay Laurel Street, with 14 of these vehicles traveling towards the church.
The current church attendance averages 350 people per service. At buildout, when the church is expanded
from its current 550-seat capacity to 2,000 seats, the maximum attendance could reach 1,600 people on an
average per service. If the number of attendees increases from 350 to 1,600, the total church traffic would
increase by a factor of 4.57. Assuming a corresponding increase in the number of vehicles traveling to or
from the church along Bay Laurel Street, the total during the hours of 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM on a Sunday
would increase from 37 to 169 church-related vehicles on Bay Laurel Street. The total during 8:00 to
9:00 AM (the existing hour with the highest number of church-related vehicles) would increase from 14 tc
64 vehicles traveling towards the church.
For comparison purposes, a count on Monday, January 13, 2003 indicated a total of 143 vehicles traveling
on Bay Laurel Street between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, and a total of 333 vehicles traveling on Bay Laurel
Street between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Therefore, with the potential increase of traffic traveling to and
from the church on a Sunday, the total number of vehicles traveling along Bay Laurel Street on Sunday
would continue to be substantially less than the total on a weekday.
To ensure that these traffic projections remain accurate and there is no adverse impact on the local
streets when the sanctuary is expanded, monitoring of the peak hour turning movements at project
driveways shall also be required on one typical Sunday every six months following the completion
of the church expansion and reported to the City. If the traffic volume is found to be excessive
during that time period, more stringent enforcement or other measures may be required by the
church administration to limit the number of vehicles accessing the project site to or from Bay
Laurel Street, as determined by the City of Dublin Public Works Director. This mitigation
measure has been included in the conditions for the project. With implementation of the traffic
mitigation measures discussed in this report and the EIR, all traffic impacts will be reduced to a
less-than-significant level.
Aesthetics/Visual Quality Issues
Concerns have been expressed by some residents in the area regarding the height of the proposed
buildings and the disruption of scenic views. Two of the proposed buildings or expanded buildings, the
school administration building and the sanctuary, is proposed to be three stories with a maximum
estimated height of 50 feet. The new school administration building would be sited just east of the
junior/senior high school building and the elementary school, and the sanctuary expansion is located
within the main portion of the complex.
Based on the visual analysis prepared for the project EIR (see Attachment 7), Staff has worked with the
Applicant over the last year to orient the new buildings on the site, particularly the chapel, to reduce the
]]
visual impacts of the structures from off-site view points. The comment on view blockage is noted;
however, under CEQA, blockage of view from asingle-family dwelling is not considered a significant
environmental impact. Significant impacts include blockage of views from public gathering places, such
as park and playgrounds, or from scenic highways. The DEIR does contain an analysis of view impacts
from I-580, which is designated as a scenic highway, and the Applicant has revised the project by
relocating the new buildings to a less obtrusive location to meet City concerns. However, as the visual
impact of the proposed structures near the site boundaries is a concern to the neighborhood, Staff will
work with the Applicant's architect during the Site Development Review process to minimize the visual
impact of the structures from the surrounding area.
Additionally, the height of the structures in the proposed residential portion of the project at the
intersection of Dublin Boulevard/Inspiration Drive is also a concern discussed in the project EIR. A
condition has been included in the Resolution (Attachment 4) to limit the massing and bulk of the multi-
family residence most visible from the corner, and to enhance the corner with substantial landscaping.
With implementation of the mitigation measures discussed in this report and the EIR during the Site
Development Review process, the visual impacts of the project will be reduced to a less-than-significant
level.
Geotechnical Issues
As the Bay area is one of the most seismically active areas in the world, construction of the proposed
project in the west hillside area could pose potential safety hazards to the additional site employees,
visitors and students at the site to seismic risk. According to the Geotechnical report prepared for the
EIR, during a major earthquake on a segment of one of the nearby faults, moderate to strong ground
shaking can be expected to occur on the project site. Strong shaking during an earthquake could result in
damage to buildings, roads, utility lines and other structures with associated risk to residents, employees
and visitors in the area. The recent geotechnical reconnaissance also indicates the potential for presence
of historic landslides that may not have been corrected or remediated to previous geotechnical
recommendations. Also, additional development on the project site may be subject to foundation damage
caused by expansive soils, differential settlement and similar hazards related to expansive soils. A
potential exists for landslides on the site that have not been properly repaired to be re-activated and begin
to slide. Of special concern identified in the project geotechnical report is the site of future residential uses
which may be affected by the nearby Dublin Fault.
Due to these potential risks, the conditions of approval require asite-specific geotechnical investigation
be prepared for each building constructed as part of the proposed expansion by aCalifornia-registered
geologist or California- registered engineering geologist. The report(s) must address the potential for
extension of the Dublin Fault on the site, expansive soils and the potential for future landslides on the site.
Specific measures to reduce seismic hazards, expansive soils and landslide hazards to a less-than-
significant level shall be included in the report(s), and implemented accordingly.
Biological Resource Issues
The proposed residential portion of the project as shown on the conceptual site plan (Stage 1) may
encroach into a channel adjacent to the project site, which is a tributary of Martin Creek. As the project is
presently oriented on the site, there may be impacts to biological resources and wetlands. The project may
be within the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers and permits may be required.
Mitigation measures contained in the project EIR and reflected in the conditions of approval would
require the project applicant to_conduct a protocol-level wetlands delineation on the site. If wetlands are
identified, the applicant must then obtain necessary permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and/or
other regulatory agencies if wetlands are identified on the project site. Additionally, the potential for
wetlands occurs only on a portion of the 1.4 acre site proposed for residential development, according to
12
the wetland and biological study prepared for the project by LSA. Depending on the actual extent of the
wetland area and any potential buffer required by the regulatory agencies, the placement and number of
the dwelling units may change during the review of the Planned Development Stage 2 project for this
portion of the site.
Other Agency/Department Review
The proposed project has been reviewed by the Building Department, the Public Works Department,
Police Services, Alameda County Fire Department, Alameda County Public Works, the Flood Control
and Water Conservation District (Zone 7), and the Army Corps of Engineers. The concerns raised are
reflected in the design of the project and /or in the mitigation measures identified in the Draft and Final
EIR prepared for the project, and also in the Conditions contained in Attachment 4 and 5.
As the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and analyzes the proposed project
fully, Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend certification of the EIR to the City
Council.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed General Plan Amendment, Planned Development rezoning, Conditional Use Permit, Site
Development Review, and Tentative Parcel Map request for the Valley Christian Center will be
consistent with the Dublin General Plan and Dublin Zoning Ordinance. The project will accommodate the
future growth of the church and the related school campus, and provide necessary semi-public facilities
for use by the community and residents of Dublin.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
PA 00-017 FOR 1.4 ACRES OF THE VALLEY CHRISTIAN CENTER PROPERTY AT 7500
INSPIRATION DRIVE TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION FROM PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC
USE TO MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (14.1 to 25.0) DWELLING UNITS PER
ACRE)
WHEREAS, the Applicant, the Valley Christian Center, has requested approval of a General Plan
Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, Tentative Parcel Map, Conditional Use Permit, and Site
Development Review to construct approximately 22 multi-family dwelling units; an additional 187,000
square feet to an existing 118,300 square foot religious and related school facility; two new temporary
modular units for administrative office use; and the continued use of two temporary modular classroom
units on an interim basis until the permanent construction of buildings is completed.
WHEREAS, the proposed project area is located within the westerly portion of Dublin and
contains approximately 50 acres of land. The site lies north of the I-580 freeway and Dublin Boulevard
and west of the terminus of Betlan Drive at 7500 Inspiration Drive in the western hillside area within the
A Agricultural Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, a General Plan Amendment is being requested for approximately 1.4 acres of the
site located at the northwest corner of Dublin Boulevard and Inspiration Drive to accommodate the
residential component of the proposed project. The proposed General Plan Amendment area consists of
revision of the General Plan Land Use Map to change the land use designation on the property from
Public/Semi-Public Facility to Medium-High Density Residential (14.1 - 25.0 dwelling units per acre).
No specific design has yet been proposed for the residential component of the project, and the dwelling
units are anticipated to be sold at market-rate prices;
WHEREAS, the project, when an actual development is proposed, will be required to submit an
application for a Planned Development Stage 2 Rezoning and Site Development Review, and conform to
the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance;
WHEREAS, the Dublin General Plan designates this property as Public/Semi-Public land use and
contains maps related to this portion of the west Dublin area; and
WHEREAS, the requested General Plan Amendment request proposes to change the property
land use designation to Medium-High Density Residential (14.1 - 25.0 dwelling units per acre) to
accommodate approximately 30multi-family dwelling units;
WHEREAS, the proposed density is consistent with the Implementing Policy of Section 2.1 e 1,
Housing Availability of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The Implementing Policy reads as
follows: "Designate sites available for residential development in the primary planning area for medium
to medium-high density where site capability and access are suitable and where the higher density would
be compatible with existing residential development nearby." The proposed density is also consistent
with the land uses in the surrounding area designated Medium-High Density Residential in the General
Plan. Additionally, it is appropriate for schools, both public and private to be located near residential
neighborhoods in close proximity to the students they serve. The proposed Valley Christian Center
General Plan Amendment will, therefore, be consistent with adjacent residential development;
WHEREAS, the project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. A
Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of
CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines, under Section
15122 and Section 15132, and all potential significant impacts will be mitigated through design of the
project and Conditions of Approval. Therefore, there is no potential for significant environmental effects
to occur as a result of the project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on the project on Apri122, 2003
on the General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, Tentative Parcel Map, Conditional
Use Permit, and Site Development Review, and recommended approval of the project to the City Council;
and
WHEREAS, City staff prepared a staff report describing and analyzing the proposed General Plan
Amendment, which report was presented to the Planning Commission at a duly noticed public hearing on
April 22, 2003, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to comment on the project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all such reports, recommendations,
and testimony hereinabove set forth and supports the General Plan Amendment for the change in
designation for this property from Public/Semi-Public land use to Medium-High Density Residential (14.
- 25.0 dwelling units per acre) land use to accommodate approximately 22 multi-family dwelling units;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission of the City of
Dublin does hereby recommend that the City Council approve the General Plan Amendment set forth in
attached Exhibit A, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

the Conditions of Approval contained in this Resolution. Therefore, there is no potential for significant
environmental effects to occur as a result of the project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on the project on April 22, 2003
on the General Plan Amendment and Planned Development (PD) Rezoning and Development Plan, and
recommended approval of the project to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, City staff prepared a staff report describing and analyzing the proposed Plan
Development Rezoning and Development Plan, which report was presented to the Planning Commission
at a duly noticed public hearing on April 22, 2003, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity
to comment on the project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all such reports, recommendations,
and testimony hereinabove set forth and supports the Planned Development (PD) Rezoning and
Development Plan; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development
Rezoning:
1. The proposed Planned Development Rezoning and Development Plan for PA 00-017 are
compatible with other land uses (i.e. residential and open space) and transportation and service facilities
in the vicinity because the proposed Valley Christian Center will accommodate the future growth of the
church and the related school campus, and provide necessary semi-public facilities for use by the
community and residents of Dublin.
2. The proposed Planned Development Rezoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare because all potential environmental impacts associated with the project have been mitigated
through design of the project or through applications of Conditions of Approval.
3. The proposed Planned Development Rezoning will not be injurious to property or improvements
in the neighborhood because features have been incorporated into the project and the project is
conditioned to comply with all Building and Fire Department requirements, Planning and Public Works
Department requirements regarding hazardous materials usage and storage, pesticide and herbicide usage,
on- and off-site traffic circulation, street improvements, and on and off-site drainage improvements.
4. The proposed Planned Development (PD) Rezoning is consistent with the general provisions,
intent, and purpose of the PD Zoning District of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information
required by Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance for a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan and
accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H, of the Zoning Ordinance; and
5. The proposed Planned Development (PD) Rezoning will not overburden public services as all
agencies must commit to the availability of public services prior to the issuance of building permits as
required by City laws and regulations; and there are adequate provisions for public access, water,
sanitation, and public utilities and services to the site incorporated into the project to ensure that the
proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
6. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related
structures being proposed because the project is located on land which had been previously developed,
graded and improved within an urbanized area and located adjacent to existing low and medium density
residential uses.
7. The Valley Christian Center use is not contrary to the specific intent clauses, development
regulations, and performance standards established for the PD Planned Development and Civic Use types
such as Community Facilities as addressed in the City's Zoning Ordinance because the conditions of
approval for the Tentative Parcel Map, Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review for PA 00-
017are required to insure that the facility use, which will be supportive of surrounding residential uses
and residents of the Dublin community through the provision of religious and school services for adjacent
and nearby residents in the surrounding area, will be compatible with those uses.
8. The approval of this project, as conditioned, complies with the Dublin General Plan, the PD
Planned Development and Civic Use regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, and the general requirements
established in the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
9. The Planned Development District (PD) Rezoning and accompanying Tentative Parcel Map,
Conditional Use Permit, and Site Development Review will create an attractive, efficient, and safe
environment; and
10. The Planned Development (PD) District Rezoning will benefit the public necessity, convenience,
and general welfare; and
11. The Valley Christian Center project is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning
Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council approve a Planned Development Zoning
District and Development Plan for PA 00-017 Valley Christian Center, with the Rezoning Exhibit
attached as Exhibit A-1 and the Development Plan attached as Exhibit A-2, which constitute regulations
for the use, improvement, and maintenance of the property. Except as specifically identified otherwise in
the approved Development Plan, development and operation of land use activities within this Rezoning
shall be subject to the current City of Dublin Zoning Code and to the approval of the related General Plan
Amendment and Tentative Parcel Map.

5. Master Neighborhood Landscape Plan
The Master Neighborhood Landscape Plan is shown on Sheet L-1 of the project plans dated "received
April 16, 2003" (hereafter, project plans).
6. General Plan consistency.
Parcel 1. The proposed PD -Community Facility development of Parcel 1 is consistent with the
Public/Semi-Public designation of the Dublin General Plan.
Parcel 2. A General Plan Amendment is proposed from the Public/Semi-Public designation to the
Medium-High Density Residential designation (14.1 du/ac to 25.0 du/ac) designation of the Dublin
General Plan. This General Plan Amendment will permit a maximum of 30 dwelling units on 1.4 acres
at a density of 21.43 dwelling units per acre. This density is consistent with the Implementing Policy of
Section 2.1.1, Housing Availability of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The Implementing
Policy reads as follows: "Designate sites available for residential development in the primary planning
area for medium to medium-high density where site capability and access are suitable and where the
higher density would be compatible with existing residential development nearby." However, the
Applicant proposes to develop 22 dwelling units at a density of 15.71 dwelling units per acre. The
adjacent Kaufman and Broad California Highlands project is designated Medium-High Density
Residential and was developed at a density of 15.38 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Valley
Christian Center General Plan Amendment will, therefore, be consistent with adjacent residential
development.
Parcel 3. Future Development Area. No development plans are proposed, therefore, General Plan
consistency is not an issue.
7. Inclusionary Zoning Regulations.
In accordance with the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, the Applicant shall be required to provide 7.5%
of all housing to be affordable to those of very low, low and moderate incomes, and also pay an in-lieu
fee of 5% as set forth in Section 8.68.030 of the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations, or other regulations or
resolution revising the in-lieu fee provisions at the time of approval of the Stage 2 PD. Based on the
number of units proposed to be built at this time, the Applicant will be required to build 1 unit to fulfill
the requirements of the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations.
STAGE 1 and 2 DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1. Statement of compatibility with the Stage 1 Development Plan.
The Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan for the Parcel 1 of the development is consistent with the Stage 1

In instances where pedestrian walkways and motorized vehicles intersect a change
in pavement material or treatment shall be utilized.
5. Architectural plans, sections and elevations.
6. Addressing plan. The buildings should be addressed to ensure that building
numbers are easy to locate and read. A directory board should be considered to
aid in directing emergency responders and other visitors.
7. Circulation plan. Circulation plan for automobiles, parking, motorcycles, trucks,
truck-loading spaces, pedestrians and bicycles, including designation of fire lanes,
curb radii, and truck maneuvering templates. Access to and around buildings
should be addressed to aid in security patrolling and emergency access.

Stage 1 PD
Findings Statement
The Stage 1 PD proposes to rezone the entire 50.17-acre site to accommodate the
following:
Parcel 1 Expansion of existing Church and School to full build-out.
Parcel 2 Development of Multi-Family housing.
Parcel 3 Set aside for future study.
a.) The proposal is harmonious and compatible with the existing and future
development in the surrounding area. 'The expansion of the church and school
(parcel 1) is a continuation of the existing low-density use that has occurred on
the site since 1983. This plan represents the full build-out of the church's vision.
The multi-family site (parcel 2) is immediately adjacent to an existing multi-
family project of the same intensity and character.
b.) The site is physically suited for the type and intensity of zoning district proposed.
Parcel 1 has extensive, flat, buildable areas, which can easily accommodate the
proposed church and school expansion. Project access will continue to be from
Inspiration Drive via three existing drives. Parcel 2 is flat and is sized to
accommodate a viable multi-family project and traffic will not affect any existing
or planned residential project. No land uses are proposed for parcel 3.
c.) The project 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
with the possible exception of traffic. A traffic study will be performed to
determine the impacts, if any, and mitigation required by this proposal.
d.) The proposal is consistent with all elements of the General Plan except land use
for parcel 2. A General Plan Amendment is included for parcel 2.
e.) The project satisfies the purpose and intent of "Planned Development" of the
Municipal Code for the following reasons. The project will be phased over
several years. The site includes distinct sub-areas with varying potential for
development. There is no "good" zoning district to handle the existing and
expanded church and school uses (the church has been operating with a use
permit on agriculturally zoned land) and the future study area requires a unique
approach. The planned development district will allow the City and applicant to
adequately address all pertinent issues related to the development of the property.

Stage 1 PD
Written Statement
Summary
The Stage 1 PD re-zoning proposes to re-designate the entire 50.17-acre property
from Agriculture to Planned Development, per the attached plan.
Parcel 1 includes up to 305,300 SF of church, school and associated uses where
118,300 SF currently exist. Detailed uses and development standards are
described on the attached "Stage 1 and Stage 2 PD Zoning District" text and
plans.
Parcel 2 includes up to 30 multi-family residences on currently vacant land. Uses
and development standards will be per the R-M zoning district.
Parcel 3 is set aside for future study.
Parcel 1
The church and school expansion should be approved because it will benefit the
City by providing for the expansion of religious, social and educational services
for Dublin and area residents. Neighborhood-based religious institutions play a
very important role in the life of a city. This is particularly so where a city is
concerned with the education, safety, and well being of its children. Churches in
the City deliver a range of social and counseling services to their members; are
the locus of childcare facilities; and provide cultural and educational programs as
well as traditional religious training. They are often the center of family life
outside of the home. The following statistics relative to churches were found as a
result of research performed in 1999.
Attendance:
Claims hover around 40% (according to Gallup polls and a survey by
Barna Research, University of Michigan).
Volunteerism:
One out of 4 churchgoers does volunteer work in a typical week. (This
includes volunteering at church.)

less isolated.
• Other
Parcel 2
The multi-family site will benefit the City by providing for diverse housing
opportunities for existing and future Dublin residents per stated General Plan
goals and regional requirements. The application should be approved because it
does benefit the City and is in accordance with the following General Plan policy:
Designate sites available for residential development in the primary planning
area for medium to medium-high density where site capability and access are
suitable and where higher density woa:ld be compatible with existing residential
development nearby. (See Table 2.2 and Figasre 2-1.)
Dublin General Plan, Page 2-1
Table 2.2 and Figure 2-1 designates the Valley Christian Center lands for between
90 and 210 units. This portion of the site would accommodate up to 30 units with
a Medium-High Density residential designation.
