NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find that: The proposed use serves the public need by providing a location for storage of new vehicles owned by auto dealerships during expansion of existing facilities or excessive inventory, thereby providing the community with a greater opportunity to purchase automotive vehicles in a convenient location. The proposed use will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons working in the vicinity, and will not be viewed as detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare because of the proximity of its location to other automotive related uses, light industrial business parks and related activities. Neighboring property owners in the vicinity of the project include commercial offices and warehouses, automotive repair and service facilities, and other locations such as parking lots where vehicles are stored for a period of time. Additionally, conditions of approval will ensure ongoing compatibility with other surrounding land uses that are commercial in nature. Co The use, under all circumstances and conditions of this permit, will not be injurious to property uses or improvements in the neighborhood. Other commercial service and storage facilities in the immediate vicinity complement the proposed project. Do There are adequate existing provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. No alteration or extension of such services would be necessary. mo The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related structures being proposed. The Sierra Court and Sierra Lane business park area is one of the more appropriate industrial parks in the City for industrial and commercial uses that are compatible with the surrounding neighboring uses. Additionally, the storage of vehicles will occur in a fenced parking area behind an existing building, and not be visible from the public right-of-way. Fo The proposed project is consistent with the intent of the M-1 Light Industrial Zoning District, which encourages light industrial uses serving transportation needs adjacent to major transportation corridors and adjacent roadways.
