A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL DENY AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENDING CHAPTER 8.84 (SIGN
REGULATIONS) OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATED TO OFF -SITE ADVERTISING SIGNS
PLPA-2020-00001
WHEREAS, the City-inated amendments to Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations) of the Zoning
Ordinance are proposed to establish regulations for off -site advertising signs that balance the City's
interest in protecting the health and safety of the public; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and
City Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and
that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find this project exempt
from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen
with certainty that the amendments to Title 8 of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) will not
have a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance on February 11, 2020; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report dated February 11, 2020, was submitted to the Planning Commission
recommending City Council approval of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations
and testimony herein above set forth and used its independent judgment to evaluate the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made
a part of this Resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the
City Council deny an Ordinance based upon the following reasons: 1) potential aesthetic impacts of
'billboard signs," and 2) concerns with inability to regulate sign copy which could result in promotion of
businesses located outside of Dublin rather than Dublin -based businesses and advertisement of products,
goods, or services that do not adhere to community values.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 11th day of February 2020, by the following vote:
AYES: Kothari, Mittan, Benson
