remodel of the Kaleidoscope Center which is available and on file in the Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has submitted project plans for the requested entitlement dated received
December 3, 2003 and a color and materials board dated received October 3, 2003; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and

WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did use its independent judgment and considered all said reports,
recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission of the City of Dublin
does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said Site Development Review:
A. The proposed remodel of the Kaleidoscope Center, as conditioned, is consistent with the purpose and
intent of Chapter 8.104 Site Development Review of the Zoning Ordinance.
The day care center use complies with the policies of the General Plan, with the development regulations
and performance standards for the R-1 Single Family Residential zoning district in which it is located, and
with all other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance as conditions of approval have been applied to the
project to ensure that the day care center will be compatible with the surrounding area.
The proposed remodel of the Kaleidoscope Center, as conditioned, will not adversely affect the health or
safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare, as all potential environmental impacts associated with the project are less than significant.
The proposed remodel of the Kaleidoscope Center will not be injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood as the project is conditioned to comply with all Building Division, Fire Department, Public
Works Department, and Dublin San Ramon Services District requirements.
Uo
The proposed site development, including site layout, structures, vehicular access, circulation and parking,
setbacks, height, walls, public safety and similar elements, have been designed to provide a desirable
environment for the project and surrounding areas.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the proposed day care center use
and related structures, as the project is located on relatively flat land which has been previously developed
and improved within single family residential neighborhood.
G. The proposed remodel of the Kaleidoscope Center does not impact views as it is not located within a view
corridor and the height of the structures are less than the surrounding single family residences.
H. There are no impacts to slopes or topographic features as there are no existing slopes on the site nor will
there be a need for grading as the project site is a previously developed parcel within an urbanized area.
Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the architectural
relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors, screening of exterior
appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project and as
conditions of approval in order to ensure compatibility of this development with the development's design
concept and the character of the adjacent residential neighborhood.
Jo
Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage of plant materials,
provisions and similar elements have been considered to ensure visual relief and an attractive environment
for the public, as well as providing a noise buffer between the site and adjacent residential homes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby approve said application, PA
02-037, Easter Seals Tri-Valley Campus (Kaleidoscope Center) Site Development Review to remodel the site
