WHEREAS the Dublin City Council does hereby make the following findings and determinations

desirable use of land than would have been provided under existing zoning or in combination with any
other existing Zoning District. Additionally, the Planned Development will create an environment that is
sensitive to environmental features by virtue of the site layout and building architecture. The proposed
Development Plan is also consistent with the General Plan land use category of Retail/Office.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the PD Zoning District
because it is a relatively level vacant site, of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed project, and is
near all necessary public facilities.
3. Development under the Planned Development District Development Plan will be
harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area.
4. The proposed Amendment will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare because the
Development Plan has been designed in accord with the Dublin General Plan.
5. The Planned Development Rezone is harmonious and compatible with existing and
potential development in the surrounding area because design elements and conditions of approval of Site
Development Review insure that impacts to surrounding existing and potential development are
insignificant; and
