testimony hereinabove set forth and used their independent judgment to make a decision.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find
that:
mo
The proposed use and related structure is compatible with other land uses, transportation and service
facilities in the vicinity, because it is in an existing industrial and commercial building with similar
surrounding uses. Nearby businesses in this industrial area include automobile service, glass
installation, warehousing and distribution, and similar uses.
The proposed use 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 the proposed use creates
no recognizable negative impacts and the proposed use will serve a public need by providing a
service to the community.
The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the
site is adjacent to like commercial and industrial uses.
There are adequate existing provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare, because no facilities will be altered, and no increase in public service demands will result
from the proposed use.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being proposed
because the existing industrial building and site is of adequate size to serve the use.
The proposed use is compatible with the specific intent established for the M-1 (Light Industrial)
zoning district, which is to "provide appropriate industrial areas to accommodate enterprises engaged
in manufacturing, processing, and repairing goods, merchandise, or equipment."
The proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve
