zoning districts with a Conditional Use Pennit approved by the Planning Commission; and

related issues ofthe auto/vehicle auction yard are pennitted in the M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning districts with
Site Development Review approved by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and
City environmental regulations, require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impact and that
environmental documents be prepared, and the project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), according to the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301 as it is an

WHEREAS, the Conditions of Approval proposed for the Conditional Use Pennit and the Site

testimony hereinabove set forth and used their independent judgment to make a decision.
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 ofthe storage area and accessory structures within the existing facility.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the 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-1 (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 pennitted with a Conditional Use Pennit.
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
