WHEREAS, the-Applicant, Ken Harvey, has requested approval of a Planned Development
Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan in conjunction with Site Development Review and a Master
Sign Program to expand and renovate the Dublin Honda auto dealership located at 7099 Amador Plaza
Road. The proposal is to remodel and expand the showroom area of the dealership, and renovate the
exterior of the building to meet the requirements of the Honda Corporation for their franchises (see
Exhibit A-2, Project Plans prepared by Michael Zucker & Associates, dated June 12, 2003). Additionally,
approximately 19,000 square feet would be constructed for a larger service area with an open parking area
on the second level for vehicle storage and overflow parking, and the vehicle drop-off area is proposed to
be expanded and covered to provide two entry lanes and one exit lane, resulting in a total square footage
of approximately 33,100; and

Dublin and contains approximately two acres of land. The site lies west of the 1-680 freeway and north of
Dublin Boulevard at 7099 Amador Plaza Road within the PD Planned Development Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, a complete application for the above Project is available and on file in the
Community Development Department; and

proposals within the PD Planned Development Zoning District require approval of a Stage 1 and Stage 2
Rezoning/Development Plan prior to constmction; and

1 Development Plan with the rezoning of the Downtown Core Specific Plan area on December 19, 2000;
and
WHEREAS, the Applicant/Developer has submitted a complete application requesting a PD
Planned Development District Rezoning, including a Development Plan (Stage 2), as required by Section
8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance which meets the requirements of said section, which is available and on file
in the Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of the public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and

Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin
Environmental Guidelines, under Section 15332, Class 32 of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines, as there is no potential for significant environmental effects to occur as a result of the project
and the project would be located on an infill site which was previously improved. The project consists of
expansion and renovation of an existing auto dealership, and is consistent with all General Plan and
Zoning regulations and currently served by all required utilities and public services; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted the Downtown Core Specific Plan on December 19, 2000, which was
prepared pursuant to Government Code Sec. 65450 et seq,; and,

General Plan; and,
WItEREAS, the Specific Plan land use category/designation for the Honda auto dealership site is

established increased Floor-Area-Ratios (FARs) for properties within the Plan area, including the Dublin
Honda property, which is the maximum FAR of.79 or 79 %. With the expansion of the showroom and
the new service and repair center, the resulting FAR will be .55 or 55%; therefore, the project would be
consistent with the maximum allowable FAR established by the Downtown Core Specific Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the project is consistent with the Dublin General Plan as the land ~e designation for
the site is Retail/Office, which allows certain automotive uses that are new or existing. Approval of the

expand the facility to provide improved auto related sales and services to the community. Additionally,
the project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which contains Guiding Policy
2.2.2A stating that the City's policy is to keep automobile dealers in Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on July 8, 2003;
and recommended approval of the project to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and

Planning Commission recommend the PD Planned Development rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan,
as shown in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, the Site Development Review, and Master Sign Program to the City
Council for approval; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth, which report was
presented to the City Council at a duly noticed public heating on August 19, 2003, at which time all
interested parties had the opportunity to comment on the project; and

and made a part of this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby find as follows
regarding approval of the Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan for PA 02-031:
The Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan (Stage 2) meets the purpose and
intent of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because they will provide a retail commercial use
that is an appropriate use for the site, which promotes the development and expansion of retail
automotive uses, and which is located near adjacent retail commercial land uses. The
comprehensive Development Plan will be sensitive to surrounding uses by virtue of site layout and
design of the architecture and site plan; and
Development under the Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan (Stage 2)
would be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding
areas due to site design/layout, architecture design, setback, parking and landscaping requirements
of the Planned Development Zoning District, which are adequate and have been specially designed
to fit into the existing neighborhood. Both uses are supportive of surrounding retail uses through
the provision of retail automotive related sales and services for community residents and
businesses in the surrounding commercial areas, and supportive of similar surrounding retail
commercial uses; and
The Planned Development (PD) Rezoning and Development Plan 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 2
Development Plan and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H, of the
Zoning Ordinance; and
J
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being
proposed because it is located on relatively flat land within a developed downtown area adjacent
to existing retail commercial uses, and contains existing development to be expanded, and because
it is located adjacent to roadways which are designed to carry traffic that would be generated by
the proposed type of use; and
o
The Planned Development Rezoning will not have a substantial adverse effect on health or safety
or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public
improvement as all applicable laws and regulations will be satisfied; and
The Planned Development 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
The planned Development District Rezoning/Development Plan and accompanying Site
Development Review and Master Sign Program, will create an attractive, efficient, and safe
environment; and
8. The Planned Development District Rezoning will benefit the public necessity, convenience, and
general welfare by providing conveniently located auto related services; and
The Planned Development District Rezoning and accompanying Site Development Review and
Master Sign Program will be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area as
the auto .dealership will be remodeled and renovated; and
10. The project is consistent with the Retail/Office designation of the Dublin General Plan which
allows certain automotive uses that are new or existing, and the R/A Retail/Automotive
designation of the Downtown Core Specific Plan, and the proposed use types are permitted by said
designation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin City Council does hereby approve a PD
Planned Development Zoning District and Development Plan for PA 02,031 Ken Harvey/Dublin Honda,
with the Rezoning and Development Plan attached as Exhibit A-1 and A-2, which constitute the
regulations for the use, improvement, and maintenance of the property. Except as specifically identified
otherwise in the approved Development Plan, development and operati°n of land use activities within this
Rezoning shall be subject to the current City of Dublin Zoning Code and to the approval Site
Development Review and Master Sign Program.
