PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Background:
In 2001, Michael Connolly, Pastor of Journey Church, applied for a two year Conditional Use Pennit to
operate a Community Facility/Place of Worship inside a commercially-zoned tenant space at 11825
Dublin Boulevard, in the Dublin Square Shopping Center. The Planning Commission approved the
Conditional Use Pennit on January 8, 2002.
The reason for the two-year tenn was that the Dublin Square Shopping Center is located within an area
that was being studied for the creation of a possible historic district. (See Attachment 1) On January 20,
2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2-04, approving a one-year development moratorium in the
area in order to give the City time to prepare and adopt a specific plan with design guidelines intended to
protect and preserve the historical resources of the region. During the moratorium, no new land use or
building pennits were approved or issued. On January 18, 2005, the City Council adopted the Dublin
Village Historic Area Design Guidelines and a Historic Overlay Zoning District designed to guide the
look and feel of future development in the area. The moratorium expired on January 21, 2005.
While work on the historic zoning district commenced, the City Council also concurrently moved forward
with another goal for Fiscal Year 2004/2005, which was to commission a land appraisal for the Dublin
Square Shopping Center, comprising 4.22 acres in the heart of the proposed historic area. The Dublin
Square property was one of the six sites identified as a potential location for future parks in Dublin in
order to correct the City's anticipated 53-acre parkland deficit as detailed in the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan. The results of the Dublin Square appraisal and environmental site assessment were complete
in early 2005, and the City Council decided to proceed with preparing a Master Plan for the greater
Heritage Center, Pioneer Cemetery expansion, and Dublin Square Shopping Center area. The intent of
preparing the Master Plan is to examine if the shopping center site would make a suitable addition to the
Dublin Heritage Center. The Master Plan process is expected to be complete by the end of the year and

the results presented to the City Council in January 2006.
As for the Journey Church CUP request, the Applicant requested a one-year extension to the pennit when
it expired on February 6, 2004, which was approved. Today the Applicant is requesting another one-year
extension so they may occupy the space until February 8, 2006.
ANALYSIS:
The purpose of requiring a Conditional Use Pennit for certain uses is to give the Planning Commission
the opportunity to detennine whether the proposed use is appropriate for the site. Issues that are
commonly addressed include access to the site, land use compatibility, health and safety issues, and
building/site design as described below.
Operational compatibility: The Dublin Square Shopping Center is a 4.2-acre site with approximately
40,000 square feet of retail commercial tenant space. The shopping center contains several retail and
service businesses which nonnally operate during weekdays and on Saturday between the hours of 9:00
am to 6:00 pm.
Since receiving their Conditional Use Pennit approval in 2002, the church has improved the tenant space
for their use and holds services for the congregation during two services on Sundays from to 9:00 am to
10: 15 am, and from 10:30 am to 11 :45 am, when most of the other businesses in the shopping center are
closed. Occasionally, the church has other activities at the site that are held in the evenings or small
classes that are held during the daytime. However, these gatherings are small in size and subordinate to
the main use of the community facility as a church. Because the primary meeting times for the church are
on Sundays and weekday evenings, there has not been a conflict in tenns of parking usage at the center.
Land Use Compatibility: The use of the tenant space for a community facility in the existing shopping
center is compatible with the surrounding retail and service businesses. No problems or zoning violations
have been reported or occurred since the church began operating out of the shopping center over two years
ago. All City departments were contacted during the process of reviewing the (Journey Church)
Conditional Use Pennit extension and one comment was received from the Public Works Department.
The comment related to the need to correct the configuration of the handicap parking space to be
consistent with the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations, and to do some minor restriping
in the parking area. No other comments have been received from members of the public, businesses or
other agencies on the operation of the church.
The Planning Commission must make findings before a Conditional Use Pennit may be approved to
ensure the use meets compatibility and health and safety standards. Staff is requesting direction from the
Planning Commission on whether they find that the extension should be approved or denied.
The findings that the Planning Commission must make to approve a conditional use pennit are as follows:
A. The proposed use and related structures is compatible with other land uses, transportation and
service facilities in the vicinity.
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.
C. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood.
D. 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.
2
F. The proposed use will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or
performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is located.
G. The proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and with any applicable Specific
Plans.
H. Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors,
screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been
incorporated into the project to insure compatibility of this development with the character of
adjacent buildings neighborhoods, and uses.
Conditions of Approval: Should the Planning Commission detennine that the extension should be
granted; certain conditions of approval would be required and included in a resolution approving the
extension.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1 ofthe
California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. The project consists of a use within an existing fully
improved private facility.
CONCLUSION:
The Conditional Use Pennit process gives the City the opportunity to evaluate proposed projects in
relation to certain criteria to detennine if the project is appropriate for a specific site. The subject site has
adequate improvements and has not been the subject of complaints. The Planning Commission must
detennine if it is appropriate to extend the Conditional Use Pennit for an additional year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission open the public hearing; take testimony from the Applicant
and public; close the public hearing and deliberate; and consider the request of Journey Church for a one
year extension and direct Staff to bring back either a resolution approving or denying the extension.
