A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO DUBLIN ZONING
ORDINANCE CHAPTERS 8.08 (DEFINITIONS), 8.36 (DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS) AND
8.76 (OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS)
EFFECTIVE CITY-WIDE
PLPA-2012-00028
WHEREAS, the City is initiating amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to bring greater
clarity and consistency to existing regulations; and
WHEREAS, amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) to create a new
definition for Accessory Storage — Multi-Family; and
WHEREAS, amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.36 (Development Regulations) to
create a minimum requirement for accessory storage in the R-2 (Two-Family), R-M (Multi-
Family) and comparable PD (Planned Development) Zoning Districts; and
WHEREAS, amendments are proposed to Chapter 8.76 (Off- Street Parking and Loading
Regulations) to establish a consistent guest parking standard for apartments and condominiums
and limit the use of tandem parking for residential uses; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State
Guidelines and City Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the CEQA, Staff is recommending that the proposed Ordinance
be found exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen
with certainty that the amendments to Title 8 of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance)
will not have a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of the proposed Ordinance
does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but it sets forth the
regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed to be
constructed or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no
potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately;
and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the City of Dublin Planning Commission
recommending City Council approval of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said amendments on
October 22, 2013 at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law;
and
