WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and
testimony herein above set forth and used their independent judgment to make a decision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find that:
A. The proposed use will serve a public need by expanding an existing instructional dance studio
designed to meet the indoor recreational needs of the local community.
B. The proposed expanded 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 its close proximity to retail shops, dry cleaners, restaurants and other commercial
activities. Neighboring property owners in the vicinity of the project include the Montessori
School, and some of the students also attend dance classes at the studio.
C. The use, under all circumstances and conditions of this particular permit, will not be injurious to
property uses or improvements in the neighborhood. The dance studio has been in operation for
the past twelve years without any complaints from its immediate or surrounding neighbors. The
dance studio will continue to complement commercial office use types in the neighboring
shopping center.
D. 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.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related
activities being proposed because the site is currently developed as a commercial shopping center
and the existing on-site traffic circulation patterns in Strouds Plaza is adequate to accommodate
the expanded activities of the existing dance studio.
F. The proposed project is consistent with the intent of the PD Planned Development
(P A 86-050.1), especially all commercial use types, which encourages retail commercial and
personal service uses to front on, or be visible from San Ramon Road and adjacent roadways.
G. The proposed use is consiste.nt with the Dublin General Plan and subsequent San Ramon Road
Specific Plan in terms of land use and development standards.
