A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
ADOPTING A SUPPLEMENTAL MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE
VALLEY CHRISTIAN CENTER PROJECT PLPA 2014-00052
(APN 941-0022-003, 004, 005 & 006)
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, the project site is approximately 51 acres and is located at 7500 Inspiration Drive in the westerly portion of Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State
guidelines and City environmental regulations, require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, in 2003, the City Council adopted a Resolution 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 (Resolution No. 92-03,
incorporated herein by reference); and
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, 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, 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
WHEREAS, the Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study was circulated
for public review from June 12, 2018 to July 12, 2018; and WHEREAS, the City of Dublin received two comment letters during the public review period; and
