A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO MODIFY
AND ESTABLISH A RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE FOR ST. PATRICK WAY BETWEEN REGIONAL
STREET AND GOLDEN GATE DRIVE (PA 95-043)
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin established a right-of-way for a road south of and parallel to Dublin
Boulevard between Regional Street and Amador Plaza Road (once known as the Parallel Road, now known as
St. Patrick Way) on October 10, 1988, by adopting City Council Ordinance 19-88, in anticipation of further
development of the area; and
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Parallel Road
Project on September 26, 1988, by adopting City Council Resolution 132-88; and
WHEREAS, on February 28, 1994, the City Council, at the request of impacted property owners,
authorized a Study to realign the St. Patrick Way between Golden Gate Drive and Regional Street; and
WHEREAS, the realignment study has been completed; and
WHEREAS, the realignment would be a minor technical change from the originally approved right-of-
way because it is in the same general location and does not increase or decrease capacity of the approved
roadway; and
WHEREAS, the realignment of the established right-of-way line for St. Patrick Way between Regional
Street and Golden Gate Drive was approved by the Planning Commission on September 24, 1996 and was
presented to City Council on December 4, 1996.
WHEREAS, the City Council did not take action on the project because the property owners withdrew
their request for realignment and the existing alignment, approved in 1988, remained; and
WHEREAS, the realignment of the Parallel Road is appropriate for the subject property in terms of
being compatible with existing land uses and conforming to the underlying land use designations and because it
will not overburden public services; and
WHEREAS, the proposed right-of-way is within the physical scope of the Dublin General Plan, and
therefore its extent will be encompassed by, and consistent with, the Dublin General Plan. As such, it is found
that the establishment of the right-of-way is consistent with regard to location, purpose and extent with the
Dublin General Plan, the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan, and West Dublin BART Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted by City Planning and Engineering Staff as required by
Chapter 7.68 of the Dublin Municipal Code, recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the
City Council adopt a Resolution of Intention to establish a right-of-way line; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did review and use their independent judgment to consider the
realignment of the parallel road, associated staff report and public testimony at a properly noticed public hearing
on November 12, 2003; and
WHEREAS, the realignment 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 improvements.
WHEREAS, this project has been reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act and an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
has been recommended for adoption, as it will have no significant effect on the environment; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that the City Council adopt a Resolution of Intention to realign St. Patrick Way between Golden
Gate Drive and Regional Street as depicted on Exhibit A to this Resolution.
