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 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 forfuture 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, 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
Ord. 02-19, Adopted 2/19/2019, Item 4.8 Page 1 of 11
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 five additional comment letters after the public review period closed; and
I. Following a public hearing on August 14, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
18-18 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
18-19, 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 September 4, 2018, October 2, 2018 and February 5, 2019, 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 September 4, 2018, the City Council was scheduled to hold a properly noticed public
hearing on the project and the Amendment to the Planned Development Zoning for the Valley
Christian Center and upon a request by the Applicant, continued the item to October 2, 2018; and
M. On October 2, 2018, the City Council was scheduled to hold a properly noticed public hearing
on the project and the Amendment to the Planned Development Zoning for the Valley Christian
Center and upon a request by the Applicant, continued the item to a date uncertain; and
N. On February 5, 2019, 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
O. The City Council adopted Resolution xx-19 adopting the Supplemental Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project; and
P. 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 school's
academic and sports programs. As conditioned, the school facilities will be operated, in a
manner as to reduce impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.
Ord. 02-19, Adopted 2/19/2019, Item 4.8 Page 2 of 11
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.
