DESCRIPTION: I- BACKGROUND
Oakmont Memorial Park, the applicant, is applying for
Conditional Use Permit to allow a mortuary at 7400 San Ramon
Rd- The site is in an area designated for Retail
Commercial/Shopper Goods use by the San Ramon Road Specific
Plan. The mortuary would serve 100 families and conduct 60
funeral services during the first year of operation. All
funeral processions would travel south on San Ramon Road to
Highway 580, and then go to the appropriate cemetery.
On September 6, 1983, tine Planning Commission: revie;.Iied
the application- A member of the public spoke in favor of
the application.
The Planning Commission, by a 4 to 1 vote, approved the
application with the following adjustments to the draft
conditions of approval:
- Condition 1-a- : Parking to be provided for 20 cars
rather than 50 cars.
- Condition 2 .a- : Allow for a performance bond or letter
of credit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ITE:: ii0. �� COPIES TO: Applicant
Property Owner
Funeral services may require on-site parking for up to
60 cars . The proposed parking layout would need to be
redesigned, and even then, might not be large enough to
accommodate the number of cars reasonably expected to attend
the funeral services .
When the funeral procession exits the site, traffic
problems would probably occur as cars attempt to enter
traffic lanes and travel down San Ramon Road. The street is
one of the busiest in the City and is expected to carry more
traffic in the future .
3 . Effective Time Period: If the application is
approved, the permit should be on a limited time basis
rather than a long-term basis _ A two year time period would
provide the City an opportunity to consider and respond to
any changes in conditions that might affect the permit _
III _ RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the
appeal and deny the application, because the proposed use
does not conform to .the San. Ramon .Road Specific Plan, and
because of potential traffic and parking problems .
Should the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission that the application is a retail
commercial/shooper goods use, Staff would recommend denying
the appeal and approving the application subject to
conditions of approval . The Conditions are designed to
assure that the project conforms as much as possible to the
requirements for retail uses and future retail developments
as required by the Specific Plan .

SITE/ZONING HISTORY: . DC-3 permits the operation of a private
school, in conjunction with a church, for 110 students . This
permit continued the approval of the school, which was previously
permitted by C-3643 , until March, 1987 .
In June, 1983 , the City Council approved the San Ramon Road
Specific Plan, which shows the subject property within an area
designated for Retail Commercial use, with a permitted use being
"shopper goods" such as family apparel and household furnishings ,
and eating and drinking establishments .
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS :
Refer to the San Ramon Road Specific Plan:
Pages 6-7 : Indicates the permitted, conditional, and
prohibited uses that apply to the subject property . These
allow retail . shopper oriented uses , and eating and drinking
establishments . Conditional Use Permits are required for
community, religious , charitable, and public facilities and
use . It prohibits convenience retail uses such as grocery
stores and drive-ins , as well as residential office and
industrial uses .

-,10 #2-Compatibility of uses :' States that "Special
attention shall be placed on insuring compatibility of uses
proposed in any new development with existing. or . other
commercial development now located within or adjacent to the
Specific Plan Area. "
Page 10 , 43-Circulation Improvements : Requires that vehicular
ingress , egress and internal circulation be provided -
according to the provisions of the circulation element of
the Specific Plan .
Page 10 , #l-Zoning: Requires that new development proposals
go through a Planned Development Rezoning process . Because
this application involves the use of an existing structure,
the application process started prior to adoption of the
Specific Plan, and _it ' s purpose is to establish a use on a
limited time basis , Staff has determined that it is , in this
case, acceptable to process this application for a
Conditional Use Permit, consistent with the previous Zoning
Ordinance procedures .
Zoning Ordinance, Section 8-94 . 0 states that conditional uses
must be analyzed to determine : 1 ) whether or not the use is
required by the public need; 2 ), whether or not the use will be
properly related to other land uses , transportation and service
facilities in the vicinity; 3 ) whether or not the use will
materially affect the health or safety of persons residing or
working in the vicinity; and 4 ) whether or not the use will be
contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards
established for the district in which it is located.
Section 8-94 . 4 states the approval of a Conditional Use Permit
may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made
contingent upon the acceptance and observance of specified
conditions , including but not limited to the following matters :
a) substantial conformity to approved plans and drawings ;
b) limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified
activities ;
c ) time period within which the approval shall be exercised and
the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the
approval shall lapse and be void;
d) guarantees as to compliance with the terms of the approval,
including the posting of bond;
e ) compliance with requirements of other departments of the
City/County Government .
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration was prepared on
August 3 , 1983 . A copy of the Negative Declaration is
attached to this report .
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the' September 26, ' 1983 , hearing
was published in the Tri-Valley Herald, mailed to adjacent
property owners, and posted in public buildings _
ANALYSIS :
General Site Conditions : --
This is a Conditional Use Permit application to establish
and operate a mortuary on a 1 . 49 acre site, located on the west
side of San Ramon Rd. , just north of Amador Valley Blvd. . The
proposed mortuary building was formerly used as a church. . . The
remainder. of_the site contains a daycare, center, that can have up
-to, 110,:children,; and vacant -.land The property to the south
contains a paint store, and a dog-`.grooming shop.` The property to
the north is _in residential use
' The proposed mortuary is -expected to serve 100 families and
conduct 60 . on-site .funeral services during.: the . first year of its
.operation. Funeral processions will proceed-'south, on .San Ramon
Rd- , ' to Highways 580/680 . The processions will then use the
Highway system to proceed to the selected cemetary.
The application indicates that the daycare center will,
likely, be vacated by December. Their conditional use permit,
however, -is good until March, 1987.
The site is slightly sloping, with its northwest corner
adjacent to Martin Canyon Creek. Access to the site is from a .
28-foot access easement that lies between the subject site and
the property to the south . Parking currently takes place on a
poorly maintained asphalt pad. Access to the site is now limited
to right turn in, and right turn out, from San Ramon Road.
People do turn left into the site, however, and to do so they
illegally cross . a painted median . Legal access for northbound
San Ramon Rd. traffic requires that these cars make a: U-turn at
Silvergate .
There are several issues/concerns that should be considered
in determining if the mortuary should be granted a Conditional
: Use ..Permit . . These include :
a. relationship of use to adopted City plans ; _.
b::.:. appropriateness of the use; . .
C .. traffic circulation, -.access, and.;parking; .
d. site plan .and site conditions ;._
e . other .
Each of the above issues/concerns will be briefly discussed
below.
a. Relationship of the proposed use to adopted City Plans .
The San Ramon Road Specific Plan clearly states that
the subject site should be developed for retail commercial
use with the emphasis being on providing for the sale of
shopper goods , such as clothing stores and furniture stores
that "offer comparison goods based on price and quality" .
A mortuary is not considered as providing retail
shopper goods services . It is a personal service use which
is prohibited on the subject site according to the Specific
Plan . '
b . Appropriateness of the use on the subject site_
A mortuary use is not thought of as being conducive to
encouraging retail uses to locate in proximity to it_ Since
the subject site is large enough to have new buildings built
on it, and the property to the north can have additional-
development . on it, it is important that any use permitted in
this area be looked at as to whether or not it will
encourage new development supporting the -City ' s plan for the
area. The proposed use is not considered as supporting the
City ' s plans .
C . Traffic circulation, access and parking .
The subject site has limited and restricted access,
since only right turns into and out of the property are
permitted. The adopted San Ramon Road alignment -and design
will require that a raised median be installed down .San
Ramon .Road, . east of the site :.This. will. require northbound
traffic .to proceed to _Silvergate Drive, and make . a U-turn at
that point :';. Alternatively, :access could be gained through ..
the properties at Amador Valley Blvd and San Ramon Road,
and then proceeding across those properties to the site. A
Right-of-Access agreement from these properties would be
required. The existing parking aisle layout for these
properties is not now
conducive to cross-property traffic .
The mortuary will have funeral processions that will
require on-site parking for 40 to 60 cars . There are
several problems associated with parking and moving the
procession on and off the site . The current parking area
will have to be enlarged to hold the likely number of cars
that may form a procession . The applicant proposes to add a
temporary gravel parking lot . With large processions , the
traffic and parking will impact adjacent property.
Additionally, when a procession exits the site, it will
enter San Ramon Rd_ , which is and will be one of the most
heavily travelled streets in the City. Traffic problems are
expected as the processions attempt to enter and travel down
San Ramon Road. Clearly, access , circulation, and parking
will create problems for this . site and adjacent property.
d: Site plan and site. conditions
The e xisting site is not designed to accommodate the
,.anticipated parking .demands of '-the, mortuary iise or any -
' additional development-'.of -the site . _.to.-.40
additional parking.. stalls .are :needed for "the.-.mortuary _alone
Several other -stalls are needed f.or. :the.;daycare center, and
for.,any.,additional uses .that,- could be added to .the site i.n-::
the future : These additional . parking areas .:should-,be .",_
designed to permit' effective on .°arid off-site circulation,.`
permit north/south .access .across , t he pr-operty, . as required . .
by .the San 'Ramon Road Specific- Plan; and recognize that-
retail uses are going to surround this property, with joint
use parking and access being sought_
SUMMARY=
The proposed use does not conform with the use limitations
of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan _ The mortuary is not
considered to be conducive to encouraging the development of
retail uses in proximity to the mortuary site . There are
significant traffic circulation and access problems which
will occur approximately one day a week . The site, should
the mortuary be permitted to be established, will need to
have considerable site work done to create parking and -
circulation pathways that are adequate for the use, relate
to present and future retail development in the area.
This use, while it is a relatively nuisance-free use, is not
compatible or conducive to the future development of retail ,
shopper-goods use in the proposed location. The use might
not be consistent with the San Ramon Road Specific Plan .
Traffic circulation and access problems further speak
against approval of the mortuary use .
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED - The City Council should hold
the pubic hearing on this request, make a decision on the
application, and then make findings to support the City
Council ' s action. If the City Council approves, or _
disapproves , the Conditional Use Permit, a resolution should _
be passed to support that decision ( see the two attached
draft resolutions : one which includes the required findings
for approval, ' and. the other for denial) _ Per Section. 5 of
Ordinance No. 11 , if there is no majority vote by the City
Council, .the Planning Commission action approving -the
` pro jects will- remain in effect - (for example, if there is a
;' ., •.
2-2 vote :of `the City Council) .
PRE-HEARING RECOMMENDATION
. It is recommended that the Oakmont Memorial Mortuary
Conditional Use Permit be denied, and that the City Council
find that it is not consistent with the San Ramon Road
Specific Plan, and that the findings required to approve .a
Conditional Use Permit cannot be made .
Should the City Council choose to approve the Permit, Staff
recommends that the approval be conditioned to assure that
the development and improvement of the subject site be done
consistent with City requirements for retail uses and be
done to relate well to adjacent property, as is required by
the San Ramon Road Specific Plan . A resolution with such
conditions is attached.

Mr . Tong explained the application, distributing new site plans ,
and noting the proposed uses for the San Ramon Road area, as
established by the San Ramon Road Specific Plan . He also noted
traffic patterns wi-iich were of considerable concern, and
recommended denial of the application .
Mr . Frank Haswell, Executive Vice President of the Oakmont
Memorial Park, provided background for the project .
Dr. Ward Tanneberg, Pastor of the Valley Chris Church, owner
of the property in question, pointed out that the EIR, prepared
for the :Negative Declaration for the project-, indicated no
significant impact 'v:ith mitigation Of traffic . He also indicated
.that there is a frontage road from -Amador _Valley Blvd. , ' across.
San Ramon Road, which has served patrons of the commercial
: properties , as well as the Valley Christian - Center . ..
Additionally, he requested that the application be extended, from ..
two. year ' s duration to five years .
Mr Tong clarified Staff ' s position, responding that a mortuary
is not a religious activity, but .ra..her a personal service, and, . _.
typically, is not considered conducive to retail/commercial
shopper goods uses, as designated in the San Ramon Road Specific
Plan . Additionally, the traffic and parking characteristics are
considerably different from religious activities carried on in a.
church .

Elizabeth Schmitt, 8358 Cypress Court, interjected that, although
she does not, personally, believe in funerals , she hoped that the
Commission would consider those Dublin residents who do rely on _
this type of service , and she encouraged approval of the _=
Conditional Use Permit .
Cm. Alexander asked Pastor Tanneberg if the .church had an
easement across the property where the "frontage road" appeared
to be located_ Pastor Tanneberg responded that, to -his .
knowledge,`- thearea has been -,public access , -across the front of
those properties for .several years

Mr - -Tong indicated .that, according :to .records 'in. the. Planning
Department, .. the area ,in front of the 'Nichandros"property" was

Dear.Mayor Snyder & Council Members:
This is to inform you that the Dublin Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors
fully support the Valley Christian Center at 7400 San Ramon Road becoming
a funeral home.
While we recognize your desire to have "shopper goods" stores in the area,
the building does exist and the funeral home will improve the area by better
landscaping and the removal of the portable classrooms in the rear of the

August, 1984.

Dear Mr.' Tong:
Thank you . Lor the opportunity to review the Oakmont Memorial Park
Proposed Mortuary.'
The Dublin San Ramon Services District Public Works Department has
reviewed the site plan and has the -following comments:
1 . The water connection will require a reduced
pressure back flow prevention device on the
water supply .
2 _ This facility may fall under the Industrial
Waste Code oL the District and may require
an inspection manhole. Without. improvement -
plans , final . inspection of sewer needs and.
fees is - not possible. :
3 . Future fees that may be required can only
be °determined by.. improvement plans . ==
4 . The . history of :this .site has .been' that the
- access road has been ;poorly. maintained;
thus , exposing District facilities (such,,.as
manholes) . to traffic damage:-`
Be assured that we' will work wi th.you-and the .developer *in -every- way
