Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. Take testimony from the Applicant and the public. Question Staff, Applicant and the public. Close public hearing and deliberate. Adopt Resolution (Attachment 1) approving a Conditional Use Permit for an auto repair and service establishment limited to serving the Alameda County Auction in an existing building, subject to revised conditions of approval. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Alameda County Auto Auction, located at 6438 Sierra Court, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a new auto repair and service establishment to serve the automobiles to be sold at the auction. The service center is proposed for an existing building located at 6938 Sierra Court, which is in an M-1 (Light Industrial) Zoning District. The new auto service center will be located approximately 1/2 block to the north from the actual auction site on Sierra Court, and will perform minor repairs on the autos to be sold. Major repairs on the auction vehicles would be performed off-site at service centers specializing in a particular area of repair such as transmissions, clutches, and engines. At the present time, all auto service and repair work on vehicles sold at the auction is performed at privately-owned and operated centers throughout the area. Automobile Service establishments are permitted in an M-1 district with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Sierra Court area of Dublin is home to several light industrial businesses, administrative offices, telecommunication businesses, small manufacturers and distribution centers, and storage facilities. Many of these businesses have existed in the area since the late 1970's and were approved by Alameda County before City incorporation. Surrounding businesses include a label manufacturer, a construction/electrical supply company, a plastics manufacturer distribution center, and a pool and spa supply shop. The building was most recently occupied by Tyco, a fire and security protection business G:\PA#X2003\03-070 Alameda Cty Auction\PCSR2.doc COPIES TO: Applicant/Owner Applicant's Consultant In-House Distribution and the site is fully improved. The auto repair and service center is proposing to occupy an existing industrial building consisting of 19,850 square feet. All automobile service and repair activities will be conducted solely within the building. An approximately 5,000 square foot paved outdoor area on the southeast portion of the site will be fenced and gated for the storage of vehicles to be repaired or that have been repaired. No servicing or repair of vehicles will occur in the parking lot or vehicle storage area. This condition is reflected in Conditions 5(e) and 20 of the Conditions of Approval in the Resolution in Attachment 1. No customers will be entering the area or visiting the service center. Previous Planning Commission Action: On February 10, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Alameda County Auction Service Center project (see Attachment 3 for agenda report and minutes). At that time, several business and property owners expressed concerns over the type of use proposed, the related safety hazards and potential adverse effects of the project on their businesses or properties. The Planning Commission directed Staff to meet with those concerned and revise the conditions of approval for the project to help alleviate the business and property owners' concerns. The public hearing was continued to March 9th. ANALYSIS: A complete analysis of the project is contained in the Planning Commission agenda report for February 10, 2004, attached to this report as Attachment 3. Staff met with the business and property owners on February 18, 2004 and identified those areas of concern presented at that meeting and also at the Planning Commission hearing. Staff has modified the wording in two conditions, Conditions # 1 and 22, according to these discussions. The following discussion addresses only the revisions to the Conditions of Approval that Staff has made based on the discussion with the business and property owners and the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission. Condition of Approval #1, Approval: At the Planning Commission public hearing, business and property owners discussed their concerns that the Automobile Repair and Services offered at the proposed service center on Sierra Court would offer complete auto repair services, thereby generating noise, fumes and visual impacts. Additionally, there were concerns that the repairs and servicing of the vehicles would be performed in the parking lot adjacent to the business rather than within the building as proposed by the Applicant. The operations at the site will consist of minor auto repairs and service within the improved building, and will only be for use by the Auto Auction to prepare autos for sale at the auction site on Sierra Court, a few blocks from the site of the proposed service center. Customers will not be permitted to come to the site to pick-up or drop-off vehicles. Condition #1 of the Conditions of Approval has been revised to include a list of the specific minor automotive repairs and services to be performed within the building at the subject site, and would thereby limit those services to smog testing and related repairs; safety inspection and related repairs (including fluid replacement); oil and filter changes; windshield replacement; and, paint less dent removal (including related minor detailing) as follows: Approval. This Conditional Use Permit approval for PA 03-070 establishes an Automobile Repair and Service establishment to provide limited auto repair service limited to smog testing and related repairs: safety inspection and related repairs (including fluid replacement): oil and filter changes; windshield replacement: and, paint-less dent removal (including related minor detailimz)~. '~L,, +~'~L.~. ^~.,~.,...~ ~ ~'~ ,_.,, ~..~;r~ .... *" ·^~"*a . ^~ ~.,,~,,~"~*:^- within an existing industrial building. Condition of Approval #22, Vehicle Storage Area Restrictions: Business and property owners also discussed their concerns at the meeting with Staff that the automobiles to be repaired and serviced at the Alameda County Auto Auction Repair and Service Center may be stored for extended periods of time in the fenced parking/storage area of the site near the Alameda County Flood Control Channel. This would result in adverse visual impacts to surrounding businesses and from the public street. Condition #22 has been revised to include language that vehicles in that area will be obscured from view through the installation of wooden slats in the existing fencing, or replacement of the fencing with a solid fence. Additionally, a restriction has been added to limit the maximum time to ten (10) days for parking a vehicle being serviced or repaired in the fenced parking area. These revisions to the condition should help to alleviate the surrounding business and property owners' concerns. The revised condition reads as follows: 22. Vehicle storage area restrictions. The proposed fenced and gated vehicle storage area shall be as shown on the Project Plans. and shall ota-l-y be, use~ tv, store ;'Vehicles to be serviced or repaired may be parked in this area, but for no longer than ten (10) calendar days. No auto services, repairs, painting or draining of oil, anti-freeze, or other chemicals from autos shall be allowed in the gated vehicle storage area. The Applicant shall obscure the view of the vehicle storage area by installing wooden slats in the existing fencing, or replace with solid fencing subiect to the approval of the Community Development Director. Condition of Approval #24, Truck Deliveries and Unloading of Vehicles: Staff has added a new condition to the conditions of approval for the project based on other concerns expressed by business and property owners at the meeting held on February 18th. Some of the attendees were concerned that large trucks hauling vehicles to the site would park on the street and create congestion and conflicts on the cul- de-sac where the new service center would be located. This could result in a loss of business by the existing business owners if driveways are blocked or storefronts are unable to be seen from the street for an extended period of time. Staff reviewed past approvals of auto dealerships and other related businesses that might include restrictions on parking and unloading of delivery trucks off-site. Unfortunately, no standard condition was found. Because of this, Staff has developed a new condition to be added to those conditions in Attachment 1 to ensure that the use will not adversely affect other businesses located in the area. The new condition reads as follows: 24. Truck Deliveries and Unloading of Vehicles. All trucks delivering and unloading vehicles to the service center shall be in accordance with the State of California Motor Vehicle Code regulations related to the off-loading and delivery of cars and street parking of trucks. Additionally, the loading and unloading of a truck in the public right-of-way associated with the service center shall be limited to a maximum time of four (4) hours. Public Noticing: Additional notice of the continued public hearing was sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the property and all interested parties on March 2, 2004. CONCLUSION: The Conditional Use Permit findings contained in the Resolution in Attachment 1 can be made because the building was originally built and intended for industrial and commercial service uses, such as the proposed Auto Repair and Service establishment. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and the zoning district regulations and permitted uses. Additionally, Staff has proposed revised Conditions of Approval as part of this use permit that will ensure the proposed use does not have negative impacts on surrounding businesses and users. The use of the building as an auto repair and service center will also result in a benefit to the light industrial area as some of the minor auto services and storage presently taking place at the auto auction site will be fully enclosed within the proposed auto service center building. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit for an auto repair and service establishment limited to serving the Alameda County Auction in an existing building, subject to the revised conditions of approval. g:\PA#L2003\03-070\PCSR.doc GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Adel Saadeh PROPERTY OWNER: Alameda County Auto Auction 6438 Sierra Court Dublin, CA 94568 LOCATION: 6938 Sierra Court ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBER: 941-2756-004 APPLICANT'S CONSULTANT: Rick Woodward, SIOR Commercial Real Estate Services 111 Civic Dr. Suite 210 Walnut Creek, CA 94596 ACME Architectural Group, Inc. 9 Gonsalves Ct.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the subject site. mo NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find that: The proposed use and related structure is compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity, because it is in an existing industrial and commercial building with similar ATTACHMENT 1 surrounding uses. Nearby businesses in this industrial area include an automobile auction operated by Alameda County that the proposed operation will serve, warehousing and distribution, administrative office uses, light industrial uses and similar uses. Bo The proposed use 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, because the proposed use creates no recognizable negative impacts and the proposed use will serve a public need by providing a service to the auto auction and the community it serves. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the site is adjacent to like commercial and industrial uses and will be operated within an improved building. Do There are adequate existing provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, because no facilities will be altered, and no increase in public service demands will result from the proposed use. Eo The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being proposed because the existing industrial building and site is of adequate size to serve the use and in close proximity to the Alameda County Auto Auction facility. The proposed use is compatible with the specific intent established for the M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district, which is to "provide appropriate industrial areas to accommodate enterprises engaged in manufacturing, processing, and repairing goods, merchandise, or equipment." The proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan land use designation of Business Park/Industrial.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 9th day of March 2004. AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: ATTEST: Planning Commission Chairperson Jeri Ram, Planning Manager G:\PA#\2003\03-070\PCReso w/COAs.doc 6 licensed, and no complaints have been received about the existing Small Daycare Home that would lead Staff to believe that expanding the use would be problematic. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing, take testimony from the applicant and the public, close public hearing, deliberate and adopt a resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Daycare Home at 6851 Langtnuir Lane. Cm. Nassar opened the public hearing. Kelly Childer's, Applicant stated she is currently running a daycare and wants to expand the operation. She presented letters from her neighbors supporting the project. Cm. Machtmes asked if the letters are from direct neighbors on either side of her property. Ms. Childers stated the neighbor to the right is never home and is okay with the expansion. The letters of support are from her neighbors to the left and across the street. Cm. Machtmes asked how many children would be too many for her facility. Ms. Childers stated she currently has eight. The California State Licensing allows 12-14 so anymore than that would be too many. Cm. Jennings asked if the maximum number of fourteen children includes her children. Ms. Childers stated yes. She has four children, which three of the four are counted towards the maximum number. Her oldest child is eighteen and does not have to be counted. Cm. Nassar asked if there were any other questions; hearing none he closed the public hearing and asked for a motion. On a motion by Cm. King seconded by Cm. Jennings by a vote 4-0-1 with Cm. Fasulkey absent, the Planning Commission approved RESOLUTION NO. 04 - 04 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A LARGE FAMILY DAYCARE HOME CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AT 6851 LANGMUIR LANE (PA 03-066) 8.2 PA 03-070 Alameda County Auto Auction, Auto Service and Repair Center - Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permit to permit an auto service and repair center for exclusive use by the Alameda County Auction in an approximately 19,850 square foot existing building with an approximately 5,000 square foot outdoor vehicle storage area on a 1.08 acre site. ~f(annin~j (iVmm£~'sion ~RCguFar ~Meetin3] q,'e~n~a~ t0, 200~ ATTACHMENT & Cm. Nassar asked for the staff report. Ms. Harbin presented the staff report. The Alameda County Auto Auction, located at 6438 Sierra Court, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a new auto repair and service establishment to serve the automobiles to be sold at the auction. The service center is proposed for an existing building located at 6938 Sierra Court, which is in an M-1 (Light Industrial) Zoning District. The new auto service center will be located approximately 1/2 block to the north from the actual auction site on Sierra Court, and will perform minor repairs on the autos to be sold. Major repairs on the auction vehicles would be performed off-site at service centers specializing in a particular area of repair such as transmissions, clutches, and engines. At the present time, all auto service and repair work on vehicles sold at auction is performed at privately owned and operated centers. The Conditional Use Permit findings can be made in the affirmative because the building was originally built and intended for industrial and commercial service uses, such as the proposed Auto Repair and Service establishment. Additionally, Staff has proposed Conditions of Approval as part of this use permit that will ensure the proposed use does not have negative impacts on surrounding businesses and users. The use of the building as an auto repair and service center will also result in a benefit to the light industrial area as some of the minor auto services and storage presently taking place at the auto auction site will be fully enclosed with the proposed auto service center building. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit for an auto repair and service establishment for minor auto repair and service limited to serving the Alameda County Auction in an existing building, subject to conditions of approval. Cm. Nassar asked if there were any questions for staff; hearing none he opened the public hearing. Adel Saadeh, Owner stated he is in agreement with staff and available for questions. Cm. Jennings asked staff if parking was adequate. Ms. Harbin stated yes and explained the parking for the area. Fred Falender, 6918 Sierra Court is concerned with the proposal and that it will change the neighborhood. The neighborhood is well maintained and feels the project is not compatible with the surrounding areas. He is opposed to the project. Ms. Harbin explained that there are other auto type uses in the area allowed by a Conditional Use Permit. The conditional use permit is for auto auction service use only and is not open for any other use types. ~l~fan~it~l] (iommisswn 8 q, ktF~rt~a©~ 10, 2004 Cm. Nassar asked for clarification of activity in the building. Ms. Harbin stated it would be very minor auto repairs and service work such as changing oil, tune-ups and minor detailing work. There would not be any hazardous waste or materials or a lot of noise. Mr. Falender asked if there is a condition that prohibits them working on cars outside. Ms. Harbin responded yes. There is a condition in the resolution for the Conditional Use Permit, which prohibits repair and service in the parking area. All work must be performed in the building. Cm. King asked Mr. Falender if the conditions are firmly enforced would that meet his concerns. Mr. Falender said it would meet his concerns if they don't junk up the outside of the building. Brad Brown, Business Owner at 6948 Sierra Court stated he owns the building that shares the north side parking lot. He has concerns with the use for that area. The conditions cannot be enforced 24/7. It is guaranteed to turn into a big mess and he is opposed to the project. Cm. King asked Mr. Brown if he has had experience with businesses like the proposed Auto Auction. Mr. Brown responded yes. His business was previously in San Ramon that was near automotive repair. There were problems with paint, which caused a mess. He does not believe it is the right business for the location and that the conditions cannot be enforced everyday. Cm. King asked if the conditions proposed are firmly enforced adequately to meet Mr. Brown's concerns. Ms. Harbin stated yes. The City's Code Enforcement program is very efficient in enforcing non- compliance issues. Ms. Ram stated that if the applicant does not comply with the conditions the use permit could be revoked. Brad Steen, 6908 Sierra Court stated he is in agreement with Mr. Brown. The experience that he has had with car repair facilities is less than desirable. The detriment that can happen with a facility like this is a concern. He suggested that the Planning Commission look at the automotive facility on Golden Gate Drive, which has deteriorated. He asked what recourse is there if the guidelines are not met. Ms. Ram stated to contact Planning Staff the Code Enforcement Division and speak to the Code Enforcement Officer. He would go out and talk to the operator/owner of the site to see if he Commission 9 CF~t(m~a©~ 10, 2004 could get compliance. It is usually monitored for a few months. If the City cannot achieve compliance, the permit would be recommended for revocation before the Planning Commission. Ms. Harbin stated additionally the businesses mentioned do also major auto-repair and service work, not minor as proposed under this Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Steen asked if the Conditional Use Permit for the Golden Gate Drive area has the same conditions and zoning. Ms. Ram stated the Golden Gate Drive development might have been prior to the City incorporating. She is not aware of the conditions for that area but are available in Planning if Mr. Steen would like to review them. Mr. Steen suggested for the Planning Commission to drive by the Golden Gate development area before making their decisions. Rick Duemling, 6978 Sierra Court stated his family has been in Dublin since 1974 as a business owner. He is concerned that the Auto Auction will change the character of the businesses on Sierra Court. He also has concerns with the environmental impacts that will occur with oil, paint, noise and the traffic and parking issues. He explained on the day of the auctions there are parking problems. Cm. Jennings asked the Applicant to describe minor repairs as part of his business. Mr. Saddeh responded tune-ups and smog check. Cm. Jennings asked if there was anything else that is considered minor. Mr. Saddeh stated changing sensors on the vehicle. Cm. Jennings asked if they are planning to do oil changes. Mr. Saddeh stated they would have the oil changed down the street and pay $25 rather than deal with the mess. Cm. Nassar asked if they have a permit to handle hazardous materials. Mr. Saddeh responded they are planning to get a hazardous waste permit. Cm. Nassar stated there are concerns with the vacant office space and the future use of the space. Mr. Saddeh stated that they have no use for it and can stay vacant. The only part they have a use for is the warehouse portion of the building. :P~nnin~j Comn~issiotr 10 ~t,2dJn~a©; 10, 2004 Cm. Nassar asked Mr. Saddeh if he was opposed to screening or fencing the property. Mr. Saddeh responded he is not opposed to fencing. He is purchasing the building and is not going to do anything to jeopardize a building he is paying 2.7 million dollars for. They will not do any repairs outside and they are not open to the public for repairs. Cm. Nassar asked his opinion on needing security for the area. Mr. Saddeh stated there is no reason for security but they do have a security guard, which will cover both the auction site and this site. There are no repairs being done on the outside. All auto bodywork is done at another facility in San Francisco. Cm. King asked who are the customers of the auction. Mr. Saddeh responded the public. Cm. King asked who owns the vehicles that are sold. Mr. Saddeh stated they own some of the vehicles and some are consignment. Cm. Machtmes asked what attracted him to this particular building. Mr. Saddeh stated the location is closer to the auction site. Cm. Machtmes asked if they looked at other buildings in Dublin. Mr. Saddeh responded yes but they were not for sale. Cm. King asked if he has received any complaints from City Staff regarding the current business. Mr. Saddeh stated there are a few issues they are working out at the auction site and that is one of the reasons they are purchasing this building. Cm. King asked the nature of the complaints. Ms. Ram stated storage of materials outside, detailing and repairs of cars under canopies. He has been extremely cooperative with the City to reach compliance. Mr. Saddeh stated he wants to reach compliance with the City and will do what is required. Cm. Machtmes asked Mr. Saddeh if his escrow was contingent on his conditional use permit. Mr. Saddeh responded yes. q'fannin~j Commission I 1 9vef~n~a©~ lo, 2001 :R¢,qular :lleetm~] Cm. Jennings asked if a hazardous material permit is required. Mr. Saddeh responded yes. Cm. Nassar if there were any further questions, hearing none he closed the public hearing. Cm. King stated that the business owners that have come forward and have very valid concerns. The area is zoned for this type of business subject to a conditional use permit. He would like to vote for approval, however, with a condition for screening the fence and limited to certain type of repairs. Cm. Machtmes had concerns with the use type and how realistic it would be to have the use permit revoked. Cm. Jennings asked if there are similar uses in the surrounding area. Ms. Harbin stated Smart Auto Glass is in the area. Cm. Nassar suggested a modification to the conditions to specify the type of services allowed, the fence, and possibly staff and the applicant to meet with those concerned.

Adopt Resolution (Attachment 3) approving a Conditional Use Permit for an auto repair and service establistnnent limited to serving the Alameda County Auction in an existing building, subject to conditions of approval. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Alameda County Auto Auction, located at 6438 Sierra Court, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a new auto repair and service establishment to serve the automobiles to be. sold at the auction. The service center is proposed for an existing building located at 6938 Sierra Court, which is in an M-1 (Light Industrial) Zoning District. The new auto service center will be located approximately 1/2 block to the north from the actual auction site on Sierra Court, and will perform minor repairs on the autos to be sold. Major repairs on the auction vehicles would be performed off-site at service centers specializing in a particular area of repair such as transmissions, clutches, and engines. At the present time, all auto service and repair work on vehicles sold at auction is performed at privately owned and operated centers. Automobile Service establishments are permitted in an M-1 district with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Sierra Court area of Dublin is home to several light industrial businesses, administrative offices, telecommunication businesses, small manufacturers and distribution centers, and storage facilities. Many of these businesses have existed in the area since the late 1970's and were approved by Alameda County before City incorporation. Surrounding businesses include a label manufacturer, a construction/electrical supply company, a plastics manufacturer distribution center, and a pool and spa supply shop. The building was most recently occupied by Tyco, a fire and security protection business and the site is fully improved. G:\PA#k2003\03-070 Alameda Cry AuctionkPCSR.doc COPIES TO: Applicant/Owner In-House Distribution The auto repair and service center is proposing to occupy an existing industrial building consisting of 19,850 square feet. All automobile service and repair activities will be conducted solely within the building. An approximately 5,000 square foot paved outdoor area on the southeast portion of the site will be fenced and gated for the storage of vehicles to be repaired or that have been repaired. No servicing or repair of vehicles will occur in the parking lot or vehicle storage area. This condition is reflected in Conditions 5(e) and 20 of the Conditions of Approval in the Resolution in Attachment 3. No customers will be entering the area or visiting the service center. ANALYSIS: Pursuant to the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, Vehicle Repair and Service uses are permitted by with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit in any M- 1 (Light Industrial) zoning district. The purpose and intent of the City's industrial zoning districts is to "provide appropriate industrial areas to accommodate enterprises engaged in manufacturing, processing, and repairing goods, merchandise, or equipment." Operation and Conditions of Approval: The proposed hours of operation are proposed to be Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and closed on Sundays (see Applicant's Statement, Attachment 2). As the use will be completely enclosed with the building and separated from residential development by the San Ramon Creek Channel and easement, adverse noise impacts from the use are not anticipated. Additionally, Conditions of Approval in the Resolution in Attachment 1 are proposed for this project which will ensure that the proposed use can be accommodated in accordance with the intent of the zoning district while maintaining an attractive industrial area that is compatible with surrounding uses. The Applicant has agreed to substantially upgrade the landscaping on the site and has incorporated this in the Project Plans (see also Condition 20 of Resolution). The parking lot will be restriped and additional lighting will be installed for the safety of employees and for security purposes (see Conditions 18 and 19 of Resolution). Parking: The property at 6938 Sierra Court consists of a 19,850 square foot industrial building with approximately 30 parking spaces, including those in the outdoor storage area on the site. A portion of the interior of the building (10,100 square feet) is designed for office use but will not be used by the business. It is estimated that a maximum of 7 to 9 employees will work at the site. Based on the square footage to be occupied in the building (9,850 square feet) and the type of the business being conducted, twenty-four (24) parking spaces and one (1) handicap space are required for commercial/industrial uses such as auto repair according to the City's parking regulations. As no customers will be permitted to come to the service center, the parking provided will be sufficient for this use. Additionally, the vehicle storage area contains 12 parking spaces which may be used for overflow parking as needed, along with on-street parking. Building Permits: To improve the building located at 6438 Sierra Court for use as a auto repair and service center, the applicant will be required to submit plans for review and approval to the Building and Safety Division to obtain building permits prior to construction. All proposed construction and building modifications will be required to conform to the current Uniform Building Code (UBC) and all Dublin ordinances in effect at the time of building permit issuance (see Conditions 2 and 3 of Resolution). Additionally, the project has been reviewed by the Alameda County Fire Department, and must meet the agency' s requirements contained in Condition 21 of the Resolution prior to the issuance of building permits and occupancy. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The project consists of minor modifications to an 2 existing building and is consistent with all General Plan and Zoning regulations, and currently served by all required utilities and public services. CONCLUSION: The Conditional Use Permit findings can be made in the affirmative because the building was originally built and intended for industrial and commercial service uses, such as the proposed Auto Repair and Service establishment. Additionally, Staff has proposed Conditions of Approval as part of this use permit that will ensure the proposed use does not have negative impacts on surrounding businesses and users. The use of the building as an auto repair and service center will also result in a benefit to the light industrial area as some of the minor auto services and storage presently taking place at the auto auction site will be fully enclosed with the proposed auto service center building. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit for an auto repair and service establishment limited to serving the Alameda County Auction in an existing building, subject to conditions of approval.
