Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project is located within the development site referred to as Koll Dublin Corporate Center.
The Koll Dublin Corporate Center is located in the southwesterly portion of the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan Area on approximately 35 acres of land west of Tassajara Road between Dublin Boulevard on the
north and Interstate 580 on the south. The Planned Development for the Koll Dublin Corporate Center
was approved by Ordinance 22-98 on December 15, 1998 under PA 98-047 for approximately 552,500
square feet of Campus Office and General Commercial uses.
The proposed project, a banking center facility for Bank of America, would occupy Lot 2 of Tract 7147, a
frontage lot within Koll Dublin Corporate Center (Attachment 1). The site is located on the southwest
comer of Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose Drive, which is the primary entry point to the Koll Dublin
Corporate Center from Dublin Boulevard (a second entrance to Koll Center is located off of Tassajara
Road). The Applicant is proposing to construct a freestanding branch office with drive-through
Automated Teller Machine (ATM) to serve its customers in this area. According to the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, Planned Development zoning, and the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, the proposed project is
subject to a Conditional Use Permit for the drive-thru portion of the use and Site Development Review,
with approval by the Planning Commission.

In House Distribution
Adjacent uses to the project site include: 1) The Shops at Waterford, a commercial retail center located
north east across Dublin Boulevard; 2) Emerald Glen, a single family residential neighborhood located
directly north across Dublin Boulevard; and, 3) Vacant commercial and office properties within Koll
Dublin Corporate Center located to the east, south and west.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed project is a freestanding, one-story, single-tenant structure of approximately 6,100 square
feet with associated on-site parking, landscaping, and drive-up window access. The project site, generally
having a fiat topography, is 65,732 gross square feet (1.51 acres) or 52,795 net square feet (1.21 acres)
with approximately 245 feet of frontage along Dublin Boulevard. Hours of operation are proposed to be
9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
Site PlanJOn-Site Circulation & Parking:
The proposed bank building is located nearly in the center of the project site, and set back from the comer
at the Dublin Boulevard entryway to Koll Dublin Corporate Center. The entrance to the building is on the
west elevation, which is the primary building facade, oriented towards eastbound traffic on Dublin
Boulevard. Two walk-up ATMs will be located on this wall near the northwest comer of the building.
Primary, wall-mounted business identification signage also is located on the west elevation with
secondary wall-mounted signage affixed to the east elevation facing Glynnis Rose Drive.
Direct access to the project site, from eastbound Dublin Boulevard, is proposed through an existing
driveway near the northwest comer of the project site shown configured as right-turn in only, and
prohibiting exit onto Dublin Boulevard. The existing entrance is located approximately 190 feet from the
signalized intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose Drive. Access to on-site parking associated
with this project also is provided at two points within the Koll Dublin Corporate Center complex - one
near the southwest comer of the project site, and the other at the southeast comer of the project site near a
driveway to the complex off of Glynnis Rose Drive.
On-site parking generally is located along the westerly, southerly, and rear section of the easterly
boundaries of the project site, as well as adjacent to the building near the entrance. According to the
Dublin Zoning Ordinance, the parking ratio for banks and financial services is 1 space per 150 square feet
of gross floor area, which results in a parking requirement of 41 spaces for this project. The Applicant is
proposing to provide 42 on-site parking spaces including, 2 handicapped van accessible spaces and 12
compact spaces.
Drive-Through:
The ATM drive-up window is proposed to provide service to the bank customers. The drive-up window
is proposed on the north elevation along Dublin Boulevard with the drive-through, or queuing lane,
accessed near the southeast comer of the building. The queuing lane would wrap around the east and
north elevations behind the drive-up window and would be able to accommodate, or stack, up to 15
vehicles without disrupting the flow of on-site traffic, parking, and circulation. A passing lane, as
required, would be provided and separated from the drive-through by landscaped strip planters. The
setback area between the drive-through and passing lanes will be a heavily landscaped buffer between the
vehicles in the drive-through and the property frontages along Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose Drive.
No loudspeaker will be associated with the proposed drive-up window.
Landscaping:
The proposed landscape design focuses on creating a unique and attractive environment that is consistent
with the subdivision Planned Development. Background evergreen shrubs, mid-ground flowering
2
groundcovers, and accent plantings will flank entry points to the project site. Landscaping within the
setback areas along the street frontages will comply in character and quality with the streetscape design
standards established for Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose Drive. Illumination elements such as light
standards would be installed on-site within the parking lot area and in compliance with the adopted
streetscape design. The Applicant's proposed plan also identifies a location for the future placement of a
public art item should the City wish to pursue public art in this location. The proposed location for public
art would be within a landscaped setback at the northeast comer of the project site (southwest comer of
Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose Drive).
In addition to defining the parking areas, planters along the perimeter of the project site would be used to
provide visual relief and shade, as well as function as a windbreak along the westerly property line. Plant
materials within these areas will include large canopy shade trees, as well as drought tolerant evergreen
trees, shrubs, and groundcover plantings.
A low-sandblasted, integral color concrete seat wall with a tilted plane of bold, under-story foliage and
columnar tree planting would announce a separation of vehicular traffic from the pedestrian entry zone.
Pots with color planting, colored concrete, and illuminated bollards would enhance the visual character at
the building entry. In addition, scored concrete or bands of alternate materials will be installed as visual
measures to identify on-site points of cross traffic or pedestrian circulation including handicapped access.
Exterior Architecture/Building Materials & Color:
The exterior building design generally is low profile and understated. The primary faqade on the west
elevation is emphasized by buff-colored modular brick veneer and a green-tinted, pop-out glass storefront
system. The building entrance is marked by curved red tapering canopy, and as stated above, the walk-up
ATMs will be available from this location. The south elevation, oriented toward the multi-story buildings
within the Koll Dublin Corporate Center complex, has a low-level facade of colored stucco concrete
panels with a five punch-out windows and an aluminum-finished window canopy. Modular brick veneer
wrapping the southeast comer of the building provides a visual break from white stucco concrete panels
on both the south and east elevations. The east elevation, it also serves as the backdrop for the secondary
building identification signage. The east elevation with white stucco concrete panels, incorporate access
doors protected with an aluminum-finished canopy for maintenance and deliveries adjacent to the drive-
through queuing lane. The primary element of the north elevation is the drive-through arcade, which is
finished on all three of its sides by modular brick veneer. Both the north and east building elevation are
separated from the rights-of-way on Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose Drive by a deep setback, which
is heavily landscaped.
ANALYSIS:
General Plan/Specific Plan/Zoning
The proposed project is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land
use designations of Campus Office and General Commercial, respectively. It also complies with the
zoning and development standards approved as part of PA 98-047, the Planned Development for the Koll
Dublin Corporate Center.
Conditional Use Permit
According to the Planned Development zoning adopted for the Koll Dublin Corporate Center (PA 98-
047), a drive-through business requires a Conditional Use Permit. As proposed, the drive-through portion
of the project meets the required findings in Chapter 8.100 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance in that:
1)
The drive-through use and related banking center is compatible with surrounding uses because it
will provide a service that compliments commercial/retail uses, and will be conveniently located
near an existing office complex and residential neighborhood;
2)
It 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 drive-through use and
related banking center conforms to the industrial performance standards as required by Chapter
8.24.030 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance;
3)
The drive-through facility will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood
because conditions of approval have been placed on the project to ensure on-going compatibility
with surrounding uses;
4)
There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services
to ensure that the drive-through and banking center facility would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, and welfare because existing roads and facilities are in place to serve the site;
5) The site is physically suitable for the proposed drive-through because it is generally flat in
topography and is located along a major thoroughfare, Dublin Boulevard;
6)
It will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or performance
standards established for the zoning district in which it is located because the proposed drive-
through use and related banking center conforms to the development standards established under
the Koll Dublin Corporate Center Planned Development; and,
7)
The proposed drive-through use is consistent with the land use designations of General
Commercial and Campus Office in the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan,
respectfully.
Site Development Review
On-Site Circulation & Parking:
The amount of on-site parking provided is adequate for compliance with the City's parking standards,
which would require 41 on-site parking spaces (or 1 space per 150 square feet) for the proposed use.
Additionally, the 12 compact spaces shown on the site are less than the 35% maximum (or 14 spaces)
allowed. All properties within Koll Dublin Corporate Center Planned Development are encumbered with
reciprocal access and parking easements which allow for functional internal circulation and shared
parking among the developed sites within this complex. In addition, proper traffic-directing measures
through driving surface patterns and signage should prevent the occurrence of conflicts between incoming
and exiting vehicles.
General Design & Landscaping
Due to its low profile, the proposed project will result in minimal view impacts on surrounding and
adjacent properties. The exterior architecture has been designed to be compatible and complementary to
the buildings within the surrounding Koll Dublin Corporate Center in terms of colors, materials, massing,
and proportion. On-site landscaping combined with reciprocal access and compliance with streetscape
standards would provide continuity with the surrounding sites in proximity to the proposed project and
create a visitor-friendly environment.

A. What type of business, activity or use are you proposing?
We are proposing a new banking center facility for the Bank of America.
B. How many employees will you have or propose to have ?
There will be 8-10 full time employees at this banking center.
C. What are the proposed hours and days of operation ?
The hours of operation will be M-F 9am-6pm and Saturday 9am-2pm.
D. Are there any ways in which your business, activity or use have a negative effect on health
or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health,

The proposed Bank of America banking center will not in any way be detrimental to
the public's health or general welfare.
E. Describe how the design of the project including site layout, structures, vehicular access,
circulation and parking etc. will provide a desirable environment for the future development.
The project is located at the northeast comer of Dublin Boulevard and Glynnis Rose
drive within close proximity to the Koll Dublin Corporate Center. The site is located within the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area that was given a land use designation of "General
Coinmercial/Campus Office".
The building is sited with its' facade fronting traffic heading eastbound on Dublin
Boulevard. Entry into the site is through an existing driveway, which will be a "right-only"
driveway. There will be reciprocal access for parking, ingress and egress and common
driveway easements to insure adequate and efficient internal circulation between the site and
the surrounding lots.
An ATM drive-up is proposed as part of the scope of the project. Through careful
planning of the buildings' orientation, the lane will be able to accommodate a queuing line of
up to 15 vehicles without disrupting the flow of traffic, parking and circulation within the site.
r:L33.2072. [ 45\documentationX3_regulatory\3bd\lt030403rd.doc
ATTACHMENT Z
The drive up queue will be staged along the south side of the lot and will queue along Glynnis
Rose Drive. Landscaping will help buffer the queuing line.
Parking is provided according to the Dublin Zoning Plan (1999). There will be 43
spaces provided with 2 accessible, 12 compact and 29 standard spaces. The Zoning Plan
requires 41 spaces.
F. Is the site physically suitable for the type and intensity of development proposed?
The site is zoned as "General Commercial/Campus Office" (GC/CO). The Dublin
ordinance establishes the intent, purpose, and requirements of the Planned Development (PD)
District. The intent of the PD Zoning District is to create a more desirable use of the land, a
more coherent and coordinated development and a better physical environment.
A financial institution constitutes a General Commercial use.
G. Describe how the proposed development may impact views.
There will be minimal view impacts on the site that this building will create. The
building will echo and relate to the Koll Center.
H. Describe the physical characteristics of the site including existing slopes and topographic
features.
The site is generally flat and gently sloping bordered by Dublin Boulevard to the north
and Glynnis Rose Drive to the east. There are no trees located on the site except for grasses and
shrub vegetation, which are not endangered.
There is a PG&E transformer located on Dublin Boulevard which is visually
predominant. The site will require some fill and re-engineering of the soil.
I. Describe the architectural design/theme of the development including character, scale and
quality of the design, and explain how the project will relate to and be compatible with the
existing site and the character of adjacent buildings, neighborhoods and uses.
The proposed building is a single story building designed to compliment the character
and aesthetic of the surrounding Koll Dublin Corporate Center.
The building is oriented with its faqade fronting on-coming traffic heading eastbound
on Dublin Boulevard. Three main exterior materials, modular brick veneer, stucco and the glass
storefront system are combined to compliment each other as well as accentuate its own
architectural properties. Massing, colors, materials and proportions are consistent with the Koll
Center.
The colors will compliment the surround Koll Corporate Center buildings to enhance
the architectural harmony within the entire development. The buff colored modular brick
veneer will compliment the sand colored concrete walls of the Koll Center.
The storefront glass will be tinted green similar to the Center but not reflective. The
Low-E glass will compliment and contrast with the modular brick veneer. Portions of the
Ici: ()Zq. t)().~.
building will be finished in either stucco or GFRC. This change in material will provide
architectural relief and texture to the building.
A curved red tapering canopy marks the main entry into the building. This canopy is an
integral part of the Banks' retail and branding image. There are two other canopies on the south
and east side of the building which will be made and finished in aluminum.
To provide a sense of arrival to the building, bollard lighting and a low concrete
sandblasted seat wall with a tilted plane of bold foliage announces the separation of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic. A curved glass storefront wall compliments the architectural vernacular
of the Koll Center. The storefront system will have a similar look finished in a satin or mill
finish.
J. Describe how the landscape features have been designed so as to insure visual relief and an
attractive environment for the public.
The proposed design for the site focuses on creating an attractive environment that is
unique yet is consistent with the subdivision master plan.
Using plant material for the proper climactic and planting zones and utilizing the
existing planted landscape, the landscape designer has created a verdant aesthetic and visually
pleasing outdoor office environment. Entry zones shall be flanked by background evergreen
shrubs, mid-ground flowering groundcovers and accent plantings. Street frontage shall follow
the landscape character already in place along Glynnis Rose Drive and Dublin Boulevard.
Property line zones shall have drought tolerant evergreen trees, shrub and groundcover
plantings to provide a windbreak. Large canopy shade trees with under story planting shall help
shade the parking areas.
A low sandblasted integral color concrete seat wall with a tilted plane of bold foliage
under story and columnar tree planting announces a separation of vehicular traffic from the
pedestrian entry zone. Pots with color planting enhance the visual character at the building
entry.
The drive-up lane will be landscaped including the medians to help buffer the cars in
the ATM queue line.
K. Is the proposed project located on a hazardous waste and substances site pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5?
The proposed site is not located on a hazardous waste substance site.
