BACKGROUND:
On March 9, 1999, the Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of the Rite
Aid/KinderCare San Ramon Road Specific Plan Amendment, PD Rezone, Conditional Use Permit and
Site Development Review, with two additional conditions that prohibit Rite Aid drug store truck
deliveries between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.; and require the extension of the block wall
between KinderCare and the Kildara residential community an additional 2 feet. This approval included
the drive-through pharmacy along the western Rite Aid building elevation.
On April 6, 1999, the City Council approved the Negative Declaration; Specific Plan Amendment; and
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request with two additional CUP conditions: 1) the Public Works
Department shall work with the Kildara residents to determine the type of street signage that the
applicants should pay for and install along Amador Valley Boulevard and Donlan Way for purposes of
discouraging traffic from entering the Kildara community; and 2) the applicants shall contribute a total of
$10,000 into an escrow account to be used by the Kildara Homeowners Association for purposes of
mitigating any traffic impacts the project may cause within the Kildara community.
The City Council amended one of the CUP conditions requiring that Rite Aid return to City Council with
verification that the existing Rite Aid tenant space has been re-leased or resold to a business whose use is
consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan and that substantial improvements will be made to the
existing structure prior to the reuse of the existing Rite Aid tenant space at 7201 Regional, Street.
In addition, the City Council directed staff to return with the Site Development Review; .(SDR) request
with alternative locations for the drive-through pharmacy and recommendations for public!street signage
for deterring traffic away from Kildara. ~: ! ~!,i 'i . : :. ::
On April 20, 1999, the City Council adopted the PD Rezone with an additional ordinancei provision
stating that the PD Rezone shall become effective 30 days following its adoption or following the City
Council' s approval of a proposed preliminary plan for exterior improvements to the existing :Rite Aid
building, whichever occurs later; and the SDR request with the Alternative 3 drive-through pharmacy
located along the eastern building elevation.
The approved CUP and SDR do not become effective until the effective date of the PD District Rezone.
ANALYSIS:
Attachment 3 of the staff report outlines Rite Aid' s reasons for the reconsideration request. Rite Aid
states that there is a security issue with a "remote" drive-through pharmacy while customers wait for their
prescription. The remote drive-through also eliminates the face to face contact with the pharmacist and
any prescription demonstrations that may be required.
Since potential traffic and speaker noise from the drive-through was one of the reasons for approving an
alternate site for the drive-through, a noise assessment was conducted for the project (see Attachment 4).
The noise assessment concluded that noise from the drive-through activities would be below the existing
background noise levels at the closest Kildara residence (which is approximately 275 feet away) and
would be indistinguishable from the background traffic noise.
Staff' s April 6th analysis of the Rite Aid project concluded that the drive-through pharmacy located along
the western building elevation presented far less on-site circulation impacts compared to the drive-through
2
locations along the northern and eastern building elevations. Staff recommended approval of the drive-
through along the western building elevation based on the following reasons: 1) the drive-through
accommodated adequate turning radii and sufficient space for vehicle stacking and the entire project' s
parking and drive aisle configuration facilitated a safe and free flow of on-site vehicular movement; and 2)
the drive-through along the western building elevation presented minimal noise impacts due to: a) the fair
amount of distance between the drive-through and the nearest Kildara resident; b) the KinderCare building
acting as a noise buffer; and c) a condition of project approval requiring that the speakers for the drive-
through be at a noise level which reflects the minimum functional volume and that speaker noises not be
discemible beyond property lines.
New CUP and SDR resolutions have been prepared if the City Council decides to approve the re-location
request (see Attachments 1 and 2). The CUP resolution Contains one new condition of approval
(condition #17) reflecting the revised hours of operation of the drive-through pharmacy.
Approval of Rite Aid' s drive-through pharmacy re-location request would not affect any of KinderCare's
planning permit approvals.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and then either: 1) deny the applicant' s
reconsideration request of the approved Rite Aid/KinderCare CUP/SDR; 2) reconsider the Rite
Aicl/KinderCare CUP and SDR and adopt resolutions approving the drive-through pharmacy re-location
and revised hours request; or 3) give staff and applicant direction and continue the reconsideration request
to another meeting. !., ~ ~ :.... i.~. :'

OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
ADOPTING PA 98,038 RITE AID/KINDERCARE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH A DRIVE-THROUGH PHARMACY AND DAY
CARE CENTER AND TO EXEMPT PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DAY CARE CENTER
LOCATED AT 7348 - 7372 SAN RAMON ROAD
WHEREAS, the Applicants, Peter Tobin of Tait and Associates, on behalf of Rite Aid Corporation, and
Joe Bledsoe of KinderCare Learning Centers, has requested approval of an amendment to the San Ramon
Specific Plan, a Planned Development (PD) District Rezone, a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development
Review to construct an approximate 16,700 square foot, 24-hour retail drug store, a 9,824 square foot day care
center, and voluntarily contribute traffic improvement funds in the amount of $129,880, and to establish a drive
through pharmacy and a day care center and to exempt parking requirements for the day care center located at
7348 - 7372 San Ramon Road, within the San Ramon Road Specific Plan and the C-l, Retail Commercial
Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, the project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines and a Negative
Declaration has been prepared for this project and is on file with the Dublin Planning Department. The.
project, as proposed, will not have a significant effect on the environment; and ~ ~ .,~
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit and Site
Development Review on March 9, 1999' and did adopt Resolution Nos. 99-08; 99-09; 99~10; and 99-11,
recommending that the City Council approve the Negative Declaration, Specific Plan Amendment;: PD Rezone
and Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review, respectively, with added conditions of approval to the
Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review resolution; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council on April 6, 1999; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the City Council recommending that the City Council
approve the application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and use their independent judgment and considered all said
reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby
find that:
The proposed operation of a drive-through pharmacy and day care facility within the San Ramon Road
Specific Plan and the Planned Development Zoning District for PA 98-038 is compatible with other land
uses (i.e. retail commercial and residential), transportation and service facilities in the vicinity because
the proposed drug store use will provide a commercial service and retail establishment use consistent
ATTACHMENT 2
with the adjacent downtown uses and both the drug store and day care uses will offer goods and services
which typically benefit residential uses.
The proposed uses will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
vicinity, 'and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare because all the potential
environmental impacts associated with the project are less than significant.
The uses will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the project is
conditioned to comply with all Building and Fire Department requirements, and Public Works
Department requirements regarding on and off-site traffic circulation, street improvements, and on and
off-site drainage improvements.
There are adequate 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.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related structures
being proposed because the project is located on relatively flat land within an urbanized area adjacent to
existing retail commercial uses and medium to high density residential uses and the Applicants have
agreed to mitigate off-site traffic and circulation impacts by the voluntary payment of $129,880 for street
improvements.
The Rite Aid Pharmacy drug store use and KinderCare day care center use ~is not contrary to the specific
intent clauses,' development regulations,~ and performance standards established for the Planned
Development (PD) Zoning District for PA 98-038 because the conditions of approval are required to
insure that both uses, which will be supportive of surrounding retail and residential uses through the
provision of day care and education services'for adjacent residents and children of workers in the
,surrounding commercial areas, and supportive of similar surrounding retail commercial uses, will be
compatible with those uses.
The approval of this application, as conditioned, complies with the Dublin General Plan, the related San
Ramon Road Specific Plan Amendment and the PD Zoning District regulations, and the general
requirements established in the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council hereby approves PA 98-038 Rite
Aid/KinderCare Conditional Use Permit to establish a drive through pharmacy and a day care center and to
exempt parking requirements for the day care center located at 7348 - 7372 San Ramon Road, as generally
depicted by the plans labeled Exhibit 3A of the related Planned Development District Rezone Ordinance,
consisting of nine sheets prepared by Tait and Associates, MCG Architects, Majors 2M Engineering, and CRHO
Architects, stamped approved and on file with the Dublin Planning Department, subject to the approval of the
related San Ramon Road Specific Plan Amendment and Planned Development District Rezone and compliance
with the following conditions:

The previous Conditional Use Permit approved a "Remote" drive-thru east of the Rite
Aid building.. This option was reviewed by Rite Aid Corporation and they are
discouraging remote drive-thm's because of the below reasons. Therefore, we are
requesting a reconsideration of the City Council for the original ctrive-thru location.
REMOTE DRIVP,-THRU CONCRRNS:
I. The remote location is of concern for security reasons. This is control and safety of
the customers as they wait for their' prescription.
2. The remote drive-thru lacks face to face contact and demonstrations with the
pharmaeist.
THE "NATtYRAL" DRIVE-THRU IE: A DRIVE-THRU ADJACENT TO THE
PHARMACY IS MORE APPEALING TO THE CUSTOMER FOR THE
FOLLOWING REASONS:
The Customer has face to face contact with the pharmacist and feels
more secure as a result of the enhanced visibility.
2. The Pharmacists can provide demonstrations of various drugs.
NOTE: The.hours of operation for the drive-thru will be 7 a.m. - l lp.m.
' Please review this information and consider the approval of the original drive-thru
location.

Subject: Dublin Rite Aid Drive-Thru .Pharmacy, Noise Assessment
Dear Carol,
This letter presents our analysis of the noise impacts from the planned Rite Aid Pharmacy Drive-
Thru located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and San
Ramon Road. This analysis provides a discussion of noise policies and standards applicable to the
project, results of ambient noise measurements, and an evaluation of potential noise impact.
Applicable Noise Policies and Standards
The Noise Element of the City ofDublin's General Plan contains policies regarding control of
noise in the City of Dublin. The policies are oriented towards control of traffic noise, which is the
major source of noise in the City of Dublin. There are no policies applicable to the assessment of
noise generated by projects such as the Rite Aid Pharmacy Drive-Thru. The only policy which
provides guidance on acceptable noise levels is Policy G of the Noise Element which requires
review of all multi-family development proposals within the projected 60 CNEL~ contour for
compliance with noise standards (45 .CNEL in any habitable room as required by State law). It
appears reasonable to assess the noise generated by the proposed Rite Aid Pharmacy Drive-Thru
against the 45 CNEL indoor and 60 CNEL outdoor standard.
Existing Ambient Noise Environment.
A noise measurement was conducted on Wednesday, June 9% 1999 over the course of a half-hour
from 10:45 pm to 11:15 pm at the nearest noise-sensitive receptors to the proposed Rite-Aid
Pharmacy Drive-Thru. The major noise sources at this time of the evening are traffic on 1-580
85
1CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) - The average A-weighted noise level during a 24-hour day,
obtained after addition of 5 decibels to levels in the evening from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM an ., ,~ ~
decibels to sound levels in the night between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM.. Atll~~

and 'occasional traffic on the Kildara Estates access road. The background sound level or Lg0 was
42 dBA during the 30 minute measurement period. Maximum levels of 55-62 dBA were
generated by cars on the Kildara Estates access road.
Noise Impacts
In July 1998, we visited a new Rite Aid Store in Davis, California to make noise measurements.
This information along with other information provided by Rite Aid is used in this assessment.
DriVe- ~,'u Pharmacy Noise
The proposed store would have a drive-thru pharmacy, which would be located on the west side
of the planned building, approximately 275 feet from the nearest residences. Noise measurements
of the drive-thu pharmacy inDavis indicate a maximum noise level.of60 dBA at 30 feet from the
speaker. Idling vehicles produce about 55 to 60 dBA at the same distance, but tend to shield the
speaker noise. This activity is predicted to produce maximum noise levels of 41 dBA or less for
adjacent residences with direct line-of-sight to the Drive-Thru. The noise generated by activity at
the Drive-Thru would be below the existing background noise level at the closest Kildara Estates
residences and would be indistinguishable from the background traffic noise.' The sound of the
outdoor ordering speaker would not be audible even at the closest homes due to the shielding
provided by the vehicle from which the order is made. The CNEL would not increase and the
project would be consistent with the Dublin General Plan.
