A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
APPROVING SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR A NEW 13,102 SQUARE FOOT
BUILDING AT QUARRY LANE SCHOOL
6363 TASSAJARA ROAD
PLPA-2014-00008 APN 985-0002-006-03
WHEREAS, the Applicant, Dr. Sabri Arac, Quarry Lane School, has requested approval of
Site Development Review and amendments to the Development Plan for the existing Planned
Development District (Ord. 24-00) to allow for 17,102 square feet of additional building area on
the school site, consisting of one new building of 13,102 square feet, and the potential to add
up to 4,000 square feet to existing Building One at some point in the future. The total building
area would be 110,602 square feet, which would also include the square footage of Building 1
(7,611 square feet), which was an existing building on an adjacent lot that was purchased by
the School in 1997 and made a part of the school campus. The added total building area is
referred to herein as the "Project"; and
WHEREAS, Site Development Review approval is being sought only for the development
of a 13,102 square foot cafeteria and science building constructed on a portion of the site that is
between a two-story building (Building 1) and an upper parking lot with limited visibility of the
new building from Tassajara Road. A complete Site Development Review application for the
project is available and on file in the Dublin Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, the Project area was previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment and Specific Plan, which was adopted in 1993 and has a certified Program EIR
(SCH No. 91-103064) and analyzed in the Quarry Lane Master Plan, which was adopted in
1998 by the County of Alameda and has a certified EIR (SCH No. 97122109). In 2000, the City
of Dublin approved a Planned Development District Stage 1 and 2 Development Plan for the
project (City Council Ordinance 24-00), and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration (City Council Resolution 204-00), incorporated herein by reference); and
WHEREAS, in 2004, the Planning Commission approved Site Development Review, a
Conditional Use Permit, and adopted a CEQA Addendum to allow the construction of Phase II
of Quarry Lane School and the associated minor amendments to the approved Development
Plan (PC Resolution 04-46, incorporated herein by reference); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City of Dublin prepared an
Initial Study to determine if additional environmental review was required for the Project
beyond the prior EIRs and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Initial Study determined that
the project would not require major revisions to the previous EIRs or Mitigated Negative
Declaration because the Project would not have new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Because the
overall site building envelope, amount of urbanized area, and student and staff population were
unchanged, the impacts and appropriate mitigations are the same and no new mitigations are
required. Furthermore, the Initial Study determined that there was no change in circumstances
that would result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects because no new or unanticipated
Page 1 of 19
circumstances have developed since the previous EIRs were certified, the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration was adopted, and the previous Addendum was adopted; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on the
Project, including the proposed Site Development Review application and the proposed
Planned Development Rezoning/Development Plan amendment, on May 13, 2014, at which
time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, on May 13, 2014, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 14-23
recommending that the City Council approve Site Development Review for a new 13,102
square foot building at Quarry Lane School, which Resolution is incorporated herein by
reference and available for review at City Hall during normal business hours; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report, dated June 3, 2014, and incorporated herein by reference,
described and analyzed the Quarry Lane School Phase III expansion, including the associated
Site Development Review, Planned Development Rezoning, and CEQA Addendum, for the City
Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the Quarry Lane
School Phase III expansion, including the associated Site Development Review, Planned
Development Rezoning, and CEQA Addendum, on June 3, 2014, at which time all interested
parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the Initial Study and CEQA Addendum, all
above-referenced reports, recommendations, and testimony to evaluate the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct
and made a part of this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby find that:
A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review)
of the Zoning Ordinance, with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans and
design guidelines because: the colors and materials of the new building will match those of
the Buildings 2 and 3, including the standing seam metal roof with decorative eave corbels
and a simple cement plaster finish painted to match the existing buildings. The window
design and placement will also complement the other buildings on the school campus.
Although the new building has been designed to be consistent with the other school
buildings in order to create a unified aesthetic, it will have limited visibility from Tassajara
Road due to its placement behind Building 1.
B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1) The
architecture and landscape design for the new building are well-suited to the proposed use;
2) the overall design of the project is consistent with the design requirements of the Stage 1
and Stage 2 Development Plan; 3) the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan
1 and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential in that
a private school is considered a community facility, a use that can be permitted in any
zoning district and land use designation; and 4) the proposed project meets the intent of the
Dublin General Plan, which discourages projects that do not relate well to the surrounding
developments and the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood
that is primarily residential uses.
Page 2 of 19
C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties, and
the lot(s) in which the project is proposed because: 1) The architecture and landscape
design for the new building are well-suited to the proposed use; 2) the overall design of the
project is consistent with the design requirements of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development
Plan; 3) the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential in that a private school is
considered a community facility, a use that can be permitted in any zoning district and land
use designation; 4) the proposed project meets the intent of the Dublin General Plan, which
discourages projects that do not relate well to the surrounding developments and the
proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that is primarily
residential uses; and the overall intensity of use of the site is not proposed to increase in that
the maximum student population and other similar factors are not proposed to increase.
D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development because:
1) the project site has been home to Quarry Lane School since the late 1990's and the use
is proposed to continue; and 2) although the amount of developable building area is
proposed to increase, the intensity of use of the site is not proposed to change in that the
total maximum student population, the maximum number of faculty and staff members, and
the number of classrooms are not proposed to increase. The proposed additional building
area (in the form of the new cafeteria and science building and the future expansion to
Building 1) is intended to serve the existing student population.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: 1)
development of the project site will involve a small amount of grading (estimated 750 cubic
yards) and the installation of a new 5 foot tall retaining wall to create a flat building pad for
the new building; 2) the roadway and utility infrastructure to serve the site already exists, 3)
future approval of grading and improvement plans will enable the site to be modified to suit
the project, which will be developed for the site in accordance with City policies and
regulations; and 4) the project complies with the Planned Development Zoning District
established for the site pursuant to provisions and policies of the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan, including the Tassajara Road Scenic Corridor Policy.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site
layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly
uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is
harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments in the vicinity
because: the colors and materials of the new building will match those of the Buildings 2
and 3, including the standing seam metal roof with decorative eave corbels and a simple
cement plaster finish painted to match the existing buildings. The window design and
placement will also complement the other buildings on the school campus. Although the
new building has been designed to be consistent with the other school buildings in order to
create a unified aesthetic, it will have limited visibility from Tassajara Road due to its
placement behind Building 1
G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of
plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure
visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public because: 1)
site grading and retaining walls have been minimized by the stepped, hillside design of the
building so that the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the development;
and 2) there are seven trees that are proposed to be removed from the project site, including
four eucalyptus, two redwoods (with trunk diameters of 10 inches and 12 inches) and one
Page 3 of 19
Mexican fan palm tree, which are located in areas that are to receive significant grading. All
other landscaping is to remain on site, and the newly-created slope areas are to be planted
with groundcover.
H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist,
pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) site infrastructure including driveways, pathways,
sidewalks, and site lighting is already in place and the new pathways leading to the new
building have been reviewed for conformance with City policies, regulations, and best
practices.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby
approve Site Development Review for a new 13,102 square foot building at Quarry Lane
School, with the Project Plans included as Exhibit A to this Resolution, subject to the conditions
included below.
