PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Alameda County Auto Auction is requesting a Conditional Use Pennit and Site Development Review
(P A 04-024) to expand the uses currently operating at the facility and associated with the auto/vehicle
auction yard and sales on property owned by the Chevron Corporation at 6438 Sierra Court. The
proposed expansion area is contained within the boundaries of the property, which was previously paved,
improved and fenced with chain link fencing. The auction operates under an existing Conditional Use
Pennit, P A 92-088, granted by the Planning Commission on March 15, 1993, which does not include the
area presently proposed for expansion. The auction yard use currently encompasses an approximately
86,000 square foot portion of the site and contains a small office building, vehicle storage area for
inventory, an auction viewing area, with an additional parking lot for employees and customers (see
project plans in Exhibit A of Attachment 1). The entire property is approximately 164,265 square feet in
SIze.
Recently, the operation's vehicle inventory storage area was expanded into other paved areas on the site,
and two metal storage sheds in the rear (west) and side yard (north) areas ofthe site were constructed.
Additionally, four metal canopies were constructed in the auction viewing area to provide shelter for
customers in the northeast portion ofthe facility. These improvements and the expanded area were not
included in the site area addressed by the existing conditional use pennit. The City's Code Enforcement
Officer noticed the expansion and new improvements during a routine field observation of the area, and
advised the operator ofthe facility, Adel Saadeh, to apply for a Conditional Use Pennit and Site
Development Review to legalize the operation's expansion.

The Sierra Court area of Dublin is home to several light industrial businesses and complexes,
administrative offices for contractors, telecommunication businesses, small manufacturers and distribution
centers, and storage facilities. Many ofthese businesses have existed in the area since the late 1970's and
were approved by Alameda County before City incorporation, including the original Alameda County
Auto Auction operation and facility which received a Conditional Use Pennit (C-3550) from the Alameda
County Zoning Administrator in 1979. The auction facility was later granted a Conditional Use Pennit
and Site Development Review, PA 92-088, on March 15, 1993 by the Dublin Planning Commission to
expand and improve the area utilized by the auction to 86,000+ square feet; to pennit construction of a
storage shed; to relocate the office trailer; to add lighting and trash enclosures; and, to construct a chain
link fence for security in the vehicle storage area.
Additionally, on April 6, 2004, the City Council reaffinned Planning Commission approval of a
Conditional Use Pennit, P A 03-070, for an automotive repair and service business at 6938 Sierra Court for
the minor servicing of the automobiles sold at the auction location.
ANALYSIS
The existing auto/vehicle auction yard site is located in an M-l (Light Industrial) Zoning District and
designated BusinesslIndustrial Park (Outdoor Storage) on the Dublin General Plan Land Use map.
Auction yard facilities and related uses are pennitted in an M-l (Light Industrial) district with the
approval of a Conditional Use Pennit by the Planning Commission. The basic purpose and intent of the
City's industrial zoning districts is to "provide appropriate industrial areas to accommodate enterprises
engaged in manufacturing, processing, and repairing goods, merchandise, or equipment."
Conditional Use Permit
A Conditional Use Pennit allows further development of certain industrial uses with conditions specific to
the nature of the operation or business proposed to ensure compliance with established perfonnance
standards in the City's Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, the issuance of a Conditional Use Pennit for a
use ensures compatibility with surrounding properties and uses through the approval of conditions. The
auction use is currently operating under an approved Conditional Use Pennit and Site Development
Review, P A 92-088; however, recent site modifications, additions, and improvements made by the
Applicant/Operator are not in confonnance with the Conditions of Approval for P A 92-088.
The Applicant/Operator is requesting approval of an updated Conditional Use Pennit for the facility to
legalize the expansion, modification and improvements which he has made to the auction site. The
proposed Conditional Use Pennit, if approved by the Planning Commission, will supercede the previous
use pennits for the property and incorporate both applicable Conditions of Approval from those pennits
and new Conditions of Approval related to the new expansion areas and overall use ofthe property.
Conditions of Approval and the required findings for the Conditional Use Pennit are contained in the
Resolution in Attachment 1.
Current Auction Operations and Hours: The auto/vehicle auction facility operates seven days a week
from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (see Applicant's Statement, Attachment 2), and is open to the public. The
actual auto/vehicle auction takes place one Saturday a month, with an occasional second auction in a
month for special events. Preview days, which allow the public to view the vehicles stored on-site, are
held on the Fridays preceding the auction. As the use is separated from residential development by the
San Ramon Creek Channel and easement, adverse noise impacts have not resulted from the auction use
and are not anticipated. Additionally, Conditions of Approval for the use pennit in the Resolution in
Attachment 1 are proposed for this project which will ensure that the proposed use can be accommodated
in accordance with the intent of the zoning district while maintaining an attractive industrial area that is
2
compatible with surrounding uses.
Proposed Expansion of Inventory Storage: According to the project plans in Exhibit A of Attachment 1,
the Conditional Use Pennit will allow the auction operation to utilize the majority ofthe 164,000 square
foot site, approximately 136,000 square feet, for auto/vehicle auction inventory storage. This area is
located behind the main auction area on the site, which is set back on the lot so as not to be visible from
Sierra Court. The existing office for the business, totaling 3,300 square feet, is located near the front of the
auction facility adjacent to the parking lot for employees and customers. The use pennit approved in 1993
pennitted inventory storage on approximately 86,000 square feet. The increased area of 78,265 square
feet is needed for storage of the increasing vehicle inventory as the auto/vehicle auction has grown over
the past nine years into a very successful business, providing an alternative opportunity for residents in the
community and regionwide to purchase automobiles at competitive prices without buying from a
dealership or a private party.
Storage of Inoperable Vehicles Restricted: The proposed Conditions of Approval for the Conditional
Use Pennit includes Condition #17 to allow storage of inoperable vehicles in the inventory area for a
restricted time period, no longer than 30 days, after which time they must be moved offthe premises.
This condition is included to prevent cars from being stored on the lot indefinitely without being sold.
Vehicle Repair and Servicing Prohibited: The Applicant/Operator has also constructed four metal
canopies in the auction viewing area for the protection of customers and the vehicles being shown at the
auction during rainy and hot weather. The pennitting of these canopies is included in the subject
Conditional Use Pennit and Site Development Review. Until recently, the Applicant/Operator used these
areas for vehicle minor repair and servicing and was in noncompliance with the existing Conditional Use
Pennit, P A 92-088, for the facility. With the approval of the conditional use pennit (P A 03-070) for the
vehicle repair and service center for the auction facility at 6938 Sierra Court, the canopy areas will no
longer be used by the Applicant/Operator in this manner and will be exclusively used for customer
viewing of auction vehicles. Additionally, Conditions #19 and 20 of the proposed Conditional Use Permit
prohibit auto/vehicle repair and servicing at the facility.
Security Fencing: The Applicant/Operator has requested pennission to upgrade the fencing around the
perimeter of the inventory storage area on the site, and install electrified fencing to deter theft, burglary
and vandalism of vehicles. The auction yard is currently surrounded by a chain link fence, and watch
dogs are present at the site after hours for security. An electrified fence is permitted only with a
conditional use pennit under Section 8.72.080(E). The Dublin Police Department and Alameda County
Fire Department have reviewed the plans for the fencing and have recommended Conditions #27 and 43 in
the Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Pennit, and Conditions #12 and 25 in the Conditions
of Approval for the Site Development Review, to pennit the electrified fencing with a Knox Box
containing an emergency shut-off switch for use by Fire and Police Department personnel.
Site Development Review
The intent of the City's Site Development Review process is to promote the orderly, attractive and
hannonious site and structural development and ensure compatibility with surrounding properties and
neighborhoods. The Site Development Review process is also intended to ensure compliance with
development regulations and the requirements of the Zoning District and resolve major project-related
issues such as building location, architectural and landscape design, circulation and parking, and traffic
impacts. Pursuant to Section 8.1 04.030(D) ofthe Zoning Ordinance, Site Development Review is required
for modifications to site layout of existing facilities in the M -1 Zoning District, including but not limited
to, parking, fencing, circulation, landscaping, accessory structures, or trash enclosures. In confonnance
with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Site Development Review is required for the Alameda
County Auto Auction project as the storage area for the vehicles has been expanded and accessory
3
structures such as sheds and canopies have been constructed on the site since the last Site Development
Review for the facility was approved in 1993.
In approving a Site Development Review for a project, the Planning Commission must make certain
findings related to the use, structures and physical site layout. The Resolution in Attachment 1 contains
the recommended findings for the Site Development Review application and also the Conditions of
Approval proposed for the project. The findings for approval of a request for Site Development Review
pertain to the project's compatibility with surrounding land uses, transportation and service facilities;
health, safety and welfare of the public; suitability to the property or with improvements in the
neighborhood; adequate existing provisions for public services and utilities at the site; physical suitability
with the site related to type, intensity and density of the use; consistency and compatibility with the intent,
regulations, and provisions of the zoning district; and, consistency with the General Plan land use
designation.
Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses: The proposed expansion ofthe auto/vehicle auction yard
use and related addition of accessory structures and improvements are compatible with other land uses,
and transportation and service facilities in the vicinity, as it is on an existing industrial and commercial
property which has been in operation as an auto/vehicle auction yard and facility since 1993 under a
Conditional Use Pennit requiring the facility to meet certain perfonnance standards and regulations. The
auto/vehicle auction use is similar to industrial and commercial uses on surrounding properties which
consist of light industrial and research facilities, warehousing and distribution, administrative office uses
and similar uses. The use of the property has not conflicted with nearby businesses in this industrial area
in the past, and the proposed Conditions of Approval for the Site Development Review in the Resolution
in Attachment 1, and also the Conditional Use Permit, are intended to further reduce any potential conflict
with surrounding uses.
The proposed auto/vehicle auction will not be detrimental to property or improvements in the
neighborhood as the site is adjacent to like commercial and industrial uses; the use has been in operation
for several years at the location; it will be operated on an existing improved site the auction use; and, is
subject to the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review approvals.
Presently, there are adequate existing provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities
and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare, because no existing facilities will be altered, and no increase in public service demands will result
from the expansion of the storage area and accessory structures within the existing facility. Additionally,
the auto/vehicle auction use creates no significant or recognizable negative impacts as conditioned, is
conditioned to minimize such effects, and the will serve a public need by providing a alternative
auto/vehicle purchase and distribution service to the community and regional area it serves
Addition of Metal Storage Sheds: Two metal storage sheds measuring 8 feet by 10 feet (80 square feet
each) have been constructed within the northwestern corner ofthe inventory storage area and adjacent to a
20 foot by 16 foot existing storage shed on the property. Each storage shed totals 80 square feet in area
and will be utilized to store batteries for vehicles. Accessory structures such as storage sheds are
pennitted in industrial zoning districts when associated and secondary to the primary use of the property.
To ensure that the batteries and any other auto related parts containing hazardous materials are stored
properly in the sheds, Condition #45 of the Conditions of Approval in the Resolution has been included to
require the Applicant/Operator to provide a complete list of the type and quantities of hazardous materials
stored on-site and their exact locations to the Alameda County Fire Department. Additionally, Conditions
#52 through 54 require the operation to be in compliance with water quality control measures adopted by
the City and other agencies to prevent contamination of water resources from oil and other fluids which
may be present or contained in run-off from the surfaces in the facility.
The Applicant/Operator has also constructed four metal canopies in the auction viewing area for the
4
protection of customers and the vehicles the auction. The permitting of these canopies is included in the
Conditional Use Permit in the Resolution in Attachment 1. Additionally, some minor auto/vehicle repair
and servicing has been done at the facility, which was prohibited by the previous Conditional Use Permit,
and Conditions #19 and 20 of the Conditional Use Permit prohibit any future auto/vehicle repair and
servicing at the facility. As the subject site is an existing fenced and gated industrial facility utilized as an
auto/vehicle auction, it is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the use and the additional
structures being proposed for the facility.
Landscaping and Lighting: The Applicant/Operator has agreed to upgrade the existing landscaping on
the site to improve the overall physical appearance of the site from Sierra Court by installing a planter at
the public entrance to the facility, and replacing shrubs and trees in the parking area with more suitable,
native species of vegetation (see Conditions #19, 20 and 22 ofthe Conditions of Approval for the Site
Development Review in Resolution in Attachment 1). Additionally, the Applicant/Operator is in the
process of constructing planters and planting additional shrubs and flowering plants within the facility
near the public entrance gate as shown on the Project Plans. The parking lot will also be restriped and
additional lighting will be installed for the safety of customers and employees, and also for security
purposes (see Conditions #9, 17 and 18 of the Conditions of Approval for the Site Development Review in
the Resolution).
Customer and Employee Parking: The auto/vehicle auction facility contains a fully improved parking
lot for employees and customers containing approximately 52 parking spaces. The business has 25 to 30
employees working both in the office and on the facility grounds. The expansion and additions to the
structures on the site are not expected to result in an increase in the number of employees needed on-site.
Based on the number of employees at the facility (30) and the size of the auction viewing area (6,900
square feet), 53 parking spaces (including two (2) handicap spaces) are needed for the auction yard.
According to the City's Parking Regulations, auction yard parking is regulated by the Conditional Use
Permit, and not by any particular standard.
The employee and customer parking lot contains 52 parking spaces, one space less than the amount
estimated by staff at one space per employee and one space per 300 square feet of viewing area.
However, the Applicant/Operator has an agreement with the adjacent property owner at 6400 Sierra Court
to use 65 parking spaces in that parking lot during auction days for overflow parking as needed, along
with available on-street parking. Additionally, bicycle facilities are located near the office for use by
employees and customers. The auto/vehicle auction use has sufficient parking to support the expanded
use ofthe facility.
Signage Regulations for Auction: The auction use is subject to the standard Sign Regulations in the
Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 8.84. Additionally, to clarify the applicable signage regulations for the
auction operation, Conditions #14 through 16 have been added to the Conditions of Approval for the Site
Development Review (refer to conditions in Attachment 1), as follows:
14. The use of any A-Frame, portable, sandwich-board, pennants, or human held signs on the
premises is strictly prohibited. Said signs and any form of off-site advertising signs shall
also be prohibited upon any public property to include City streets and sidewalks.
15. Temporary Promotional Banner Signs and Balloons shall only be permitted after first
securing an approved Temporary Promotional Sign Permit per Zoning Ordinance Section
8.84. 050. T
16. A Building Sign Permit with Planning approval must first be obtained before any new on-
site permanent signage can be installed.
5
The signage related conditions are also included in the Conditional Use Permit conditions as Conditions
#31 through 34.
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan Consistency/Compatibility: The proposed use, as conditioned, is
compatible with the specific intent, regulation and provisions established for the M-l (Light Industrial)
zoning district, which require a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to allow the further
expansion of the use of the property and modifications in the site layout. The Alameda County Auto
Auction is an existing auto/vehicle auction yard for the sale/leasing and distribution of automotive
vehicles with an existing Conditional Use Permit which is being revised and modified with these
applications to meet current regulations and requirements, and to continue the compatibility of the use at
the site. Additionally, the proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan land use designation of
Business Park/Industrial (Outdoor Storage) which is permitted with a valid Conditional Use Permit.
Building Permits: To construct the storage sheds and the canopies on the property, the facility operator
is required to submit plans for review and approval to the Building and Safety Division to obtain building
permits prior to construction. Although the structures are pre-existing, the operator ofthe auction must
still submit the plans for review and approval by the Building and Safety Division, and pay the appropriate
fees. All proposed construction and building modifications will be required to conform to the current
Uniform Building Code (UBC) and all Dublin ordinances in effect at the time of building permit issuance
(see Conditions 2 and 3 of the Resolution in Attachment 1). Additionally, the project has been reviewed
by the Alameda County Fire Department and the Dublin Police Department, and must meet the agencies'
requirements contained in Condition #6 of the Conditions of Approval for the Site Development Review
in the Resolution in Attachment 1 prior to the issuance of the valid building permits.
PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING:
At the Planning Commission meeting on February 8, 2005, the Conditional Use Permit and Site Development
Review (P A 04-024) for the Alameda County Auto Auction were continued to allow additional time for Staff
to analyze and evaluate the proposed project. The public hearing was briefly opened and Ms. Jennifer Mosel, a
resident of the residential neighborhood across the flood control channel, expressed concern about the noise
and disturbance created by the barking of the watch dogs used for security purposes at the facility after hours.
The installation of the proposed electrified fencing for security at the facility will alleviate the need for the
watch dogs to be on guard at night. Condition #29 of the Conditional Use Permit will prohibit the use of dogs
in the future for security purposes, and thereby eliminate the noise created by the dogs' barking.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1 of the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The project consists of minor modifications to an
existing building or facility, and is consistent with all General Plan and Zoning regulations, and currently
served by all required utilities and public services.
CONCLUSION:
The Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review findings can be made as the auto/vehicle
auction use was originally developed with the intention of continuing a use complimentary with the
surrounding industrial and commercial service uses. Additionally, Staff has proposed Conditions of
Approval as part of this use permit which will ensure the expansion and continuation of the Alameda
County Auto Auction does not have negative impacts on surrounding businesses and users.

RECOMMENDA TION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation; 2)
Take testimony from the Applicant and the public; 3) Close public hearing and deliberate; and 4) Adopt
Resolution (Attachment 1, with project plans attached as Exhibit A) approving a Conditional Use Permit
and Site Development Review, P A 04-024, for expansion of outdoor vehicle inventory storage areas, and
the addition of metal storage sheds and canopy areas for the Alameda County Auto Auction, subject to
conditions of approval.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed expansion, accessory structures, site
modification and type of use is appropriate for the subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find that:
A. The proposed expansion of the auto auction yard use and related addition of accessory structures and
improvements are compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity,
because it is in on an existing industrial and commercial property operating as an auto auction yard and
facility and is similar to uses on surrounding properties. The auto auction yard use has been operating
for several years and does not conflict with nearby businesses in this industrial area such as warehousing
and distribution, administrative office uses, light industrial uses and similar uses.
B. The proposed use 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, because the proposed use creates no
recognizable negative impacts, is conditioned to minimize such effects, and the proposed use will serve
a public need by providing a alternative auto/vehicle purchase and distribution service to the community
and regional area it serves.
C. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the site
is adjacent to like commercial and industrial uses, the use has been in operation for several years at the
location, and it will be operated on an existing improved site.
D. There are adequate existing provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare, because no existing facilities will be altered, and no increase in public service demands will
result from the expansion of the storage area and accessory structures within the existing facility.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity ofthe use being proposed
because the existing industrial site is of adequate size to serve the auto/vehicle auction use, and is within
the existing fenced and gated Alameda County Auto Auction facility.
F. The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with the specific intent, regulation and provisions
established for the M-l (Light Industrial) zoning district, and is an existing auto auction yard for the
sale/leasing and distribution of automotive vehicles.
G. The proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan land use designation of Business
Park/Industrial (Outdoor Storage) which is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve the
Conditional Use Pennit, P A 04-024, request for expansion of outdoor vehicle inventory storage areas, the
addition of metal canopies, and two storage sheds on-site for use by the Alameda County Auto Auction on

Property Use:
·
The property is used for vehicle auction, sales and leasing.
The business employees 25 to 30 persons.
Usual operating hours are seven days a week from 8:30 am until 5:30pm.
The business is open to the general public.
The business generates sales taxes revenue, of which, a large percentage filters
back into the surrounding community.
Our business is open during regular business hours, for the most part, and
therefore should not disturb any surrounding neighbors.
We do not use any chemicals, etc. that would have an adverse effect on the
environment. Any products during normal business procedures are
enviromnentally friendly. We store all unusable car parts, (e.g.) batteries, in a
metal storage shed until disposed of properly through a company that specializes
in recycling the materials.
The business does not have any negative effects on any neighboring business,
existing improvements or transportation systems.
The design of the site allows for access to the rear of the site with a driveway on
both sides of the property. This is more than adequate for our needs and does not
impact traffic flow on the city street. There is more than adequate parking
available for employees and auction customers during normal business hours.
During an auction we have an agreement to use the parking facilities of our
neighbors located on both sides of the property. This limits the use of the public
streets being used for our customers' parking purposes.
The property is suited for the type of business conducted on site. There is
adequate space for all vehicles before and during an auction as well as a
designated area for the general public to view the auction.
The business (auction) is conducted mainly in the rear of the property and not
easily visible from the street. No view is obstructed, as only one-story buildings
are locatcd on the site.
The property is located on a flat, level site. The employee/customer parking area
is situated in front of the office structures and surrounded by mature trees. The
area is maintained by a landscape company.
The office buildings are set off the street with an employee/customer parking area
in front. The buildings are one- story modular. They are fronted by a full porch
and have a ramp for wheelchair and handicap access. There are metal awnings

erected to cover the auction viewing area. An electronic alarmed cyclone fence
maintained by security personnel surrounds the property.
Landscaping surrounding the employee/customer parking area and office
buildings located in front of the vehicle parking area restrict the view to the rear
of the property on which most of the business activity occurs.
Alameda County Auction is not located on a hazardous and substances site.
