PLPA 2014-00052
(APN 941-0022-003, 004, 005 & 006)
The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Applicant, the Valley Christian Center, has requested approval of an amendment to
the existing Planned Development Zoning District, and a Site Development Review Permit to
construct a lighted athletic field with sound amplification, a concession stand/ticket booth and
associated site improvements including a parking lot, plaza and landscaping. These planning
and implementing actions are collectively known as the “Valley Christian Center project” or the
“Project”; and
B. The project site is approximately 51 acres and is located at 7500 Inspiration Drive in the
westerly portion of Dublin; and
C. In 2003, the City Council approved Planned Development Zoning for the Valley Christian
Center Campus (Ordinance No. 7-03), which serves as a master plan and established future
uses and the location and size of future buildings and expansion of existing buildings. The intent
of the Planned Development Zoning was to provide a plan for future improvements on the site
and to allow phased construction of improvements; and
D. The proposed amendments to the existing Planned Development Zoning include the
addition of a lighted athletic field with sound amplification, establishing a parking standard for
the field, minor adjustment to the western boundary, re-allocating the square feet associated
with other various buildings/uses on the campus and permit the continued use of modular
buildings on the site; and
E. In 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution 92-03 certifying an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR), and adopted findings and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the
Valley Christian Center Expansion/Master Plan project; and
F. The City prepared a modified Initial Study to determine whether supplemental
environmental review was required for the currently proposed Valley Christian Center project
under CEQA standards. The Initial Study examined whether there were substantial changes to
the proposed development, substantial changes in circumstances, or new information, any of
which would result in new or more severe significant impacts than analyzed in the prior Valley
Christian Center EIR or whether any other standards for supplemental environmental review
were met; and
G. Upon completion of the Initial Study it was determined that there were new potentially
significant impacts associated with the project related to aesthetics, biological resources, noise,
2
and transportation/traffic; therefore, a Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration was
prepared to analyze those impacts and included mitigation measures to reduce the impacts to
less than significant; and
H. The Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study was circulated for public
review from June 12, 2018 to July 12, 2018. The City of Dublin received two comment letters
during the public review period; and
I. Following a public hearing on August 14, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution 18-xx recommending that the City Council adopt the Supplemental Mitigated
Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, which
resolution is incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall during normal
business hours; and
J. Following a public hearing on August 14, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution 18-xx, recommending that the City Council approve the amendment to the existing
Planned Development Zoning District, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference and
available for review at City Hall during normal business hours; and
K. A Staff Report, dated ________, 2018, and incorporated herein by reference, described
and analyzed the project, including the Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration and the
amendment to the Planned Development Zoning District for the City Council; and
L. On_______, 2018, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the project,
including the proposed amendment to the Planned Development Zoning District, at which time
all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
M. The City Council adopted Resolution xx-18 adopting the Supplemental Mitigated
Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project; and
N. The City Council considered the Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration and
related prior CEQA documents and all above referenced reports, recommendations, and
testimony prior to taking action on the project.
SECTION 2: FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows.
1. The Valley Christian Center project meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that
it continues to provide a comprehensive master plan that creates a desirable use of land
that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site
plan.
2. Development of the Valley Christian project under the amended PD-Planned
Development zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future
development in the surrounding area in that the site provides facilities that will be used to
support the schools existing academic and sports programs. As conditioned, the school
facilities will be operated in a manner as to reduce impacts on the surrounding
neighborhood.
3
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds
as follows.
1. The amended PD-Planned Development zoning for the Valley Christian Center project
will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the
surrounding area in that the proposed site plan has taken into account sensitive
adjacencies and will provide facilities to support the existing school. The proposed site
plan has taken into account a land use type and density that is compatible with the
adjacent areas and densities.
2. The project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the amended zoning
district being proposed in that the project site is relatively flat with improved public streets
and utilities. The project site conditions are documented in the Supplemental Mitigated
Negative Declaration/Initial Study and prior certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR),
and the project will implement all adopted mitigation measures, as applicable. There are
no site conditions that were identified in the Supplemental Mitigated Negative
Declaration/Initial Study that will present an impediment to development of the site for the
proposed campus development.
3. The amended PD-Planned Development zoning 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 in that the project will comply with all applicable development
regulations and standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures, as
applicable. The project uses are compatible with surrounding uses.
4. The amended PD-Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance
with the Dublin General Plan, in that the existing church and school is consistent with the
existing Public/Semi-Public land use designations for the site.
