NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Conditional Use Permit: The proposed minor amendment substantially complies with and does not materially change the provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District Ordinance for the site because the proposed use is industrial in nature and the Planned Development District allows similar light industrial uses. The proposed use of the property as a temporary automobile storage lot 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 and the region with a greater opportunity to purchase automotive vehicles in a convenient location. The proposed use of the property as a temporary automobile storage lot will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons working in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare because of the proximity of its location to other commercial and light industrial uses and related activities. Neighboring properties in the vicinity of the project include commercial office, industrial and research and development uses, and other locations such as parking lots. Additionally, Conditions of Approval will ensure ongoing compatibility with other surrounding land uses that are commercial or light industrial in nature. Do The proposed use of the property as a temporary automobile storage lot, under all circumstances and conditions of this permit, will not be injurious to property uses or improvements in the neighborhood as there are no adverse impacts associated with automobile/vehicle storage lots. Other commercial service and light industrial facilities in the immediate vicinity complement the proposed project. Eo There are adequate existing provisions on the fully improved site 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. Fo The subject site of the temporary automobile storage lot is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related improvements being proposed as it is a paved and improved parking area. The Creekside Business Park area is one of the more appropriate campus office/industrial district in the City for storage uses that are compatible with the surrounding uses. The site meets the performance standards for automobile vehicle storage lots established by Ordinance 16-04 adopted by City Council on April 20, 2004. Additionally, the storage of vehicles will occur in an established parking area between existing buildings, and will be limited in visibility from the public right-of-way. Go The proposed use of the property as a temporary automobile storage lot is consistent with the Dublin General Plan in terms of land use and development standards as the area is within a Campus Office/Industrial Park land use designation.
