Open the Public Hearing;
Receive Staff Presentation and Take Testimony from the Applicant
and the Public;
Close the Public Hearing and Deliberate; and
Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) Approving a Conditional Use
Permit for The Well Christian Community Church Expansion.
The project site is located at 6533 Sierra Lane within the Sierra Business Center. The Sierra Business
Center consists of three buildings, which total approximately 70,000 square feet of industrial/warehousing
space. The property is zoned Light Industrial (M-I) and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of
Business Park/Industrial.
The City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance classifies a church as a Community Facility (Chapter 8.08.020).
Approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission is required in order to operate a
Community Facility within the Light Industrial zoning district (Chapter 8.12.050 - Civic Use Types).
On September 9, 2003, the Planning Commission approved a request for a Conditional Use Permit to
allow The Well Christian Community to establish a new 10,800 square foot church at 6533 Sierra Lane
(PA 03-047, Attachment 8). That Conditional Use Permit allowed the church to operate within an
existing building in the Light Industrial zoning district.
The Applicant currently requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit to expand the existing church.
The expanded facility would have a total of 21,998 square feet. The expanded facility would include a
7,325 square foot sanctuary, three classrooms, and related improvements.

ANALYSIS:
A Conditional Use Permit is required in order to operate a Community Facility within the M-I Zoning
District. The Conditional Use Permit process allows the City to place conditions of approval on the
project to ensure that the operation of the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses. The
proposed project has been reviewed for issues related to operating characteristics, parking, and project
design. Conditions of approval have been proposed where appropriate to ensure compatibility.
Operating Characteristics:
The Well Christian Community is a non-denominational non-sectarian church. The church will conduct
two Sunday morning services and mid-week activities as described in the Written Statement (Attachment
3) and Table 1 below. The church staff includes 5-7 full and part time employees with offices at this
location. The church offices are open Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm. Worship/service
attendance is estimated to rise from the current level of approximately 400 adults and children to
approximately 700 over the next two to three years. Maximum occupancy for the building will be limited
to 600 persons. Therefore, the church will offer two services on Sunday mornings to accommodate their
growing service/worship attendance levels.
The existing uses within the Sierra Business Center typically operate Monday through Friday from 8am to
5pm. Weekday church activities are limited to running the office and holding two women's bible study
groups that meet on Thursday. Approximately 10 people attend each of these bible study sessions. The
limited attendance at these weekday activities reduces the potential conflict with the other uses within the
center. The proposed church activities on weekday evenings and weekends will not conflict with the
other uses within the center because they occur when the other businesses are closed.
Parking Analysis:
The City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance contains off-street parking requirements by use type. A Place of
Worship is required to provide one parking space per 50 square feet for non-fixed seating in the assembly
area, plus 1 per classroom (Chapter 8.76.080.C). As previously stated, the proposed sanctuary is
approximately 7,325 s.f. and there will be three classrooms. Therefore, the Zoning Ordinance parking
requirement for the expanded facility is 150 parking spaces.
As previously mentioned, The Well is located within the Sierra Business Center. The center contains a
mix of existing use types. A multi-use project, such as this center is required to provide the cumulative
total number of parking spaces required for each use type within the center (Chapter 8.76.040.G). A total
of 324 on-site parking spaces are required for this center based on the existing and proposed uses.
However, only 222 on-site parking spaces are provided within the center - a shortage of 102 parking
spaces.
The Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 8.76.050.F) allows a parking reduction for shared parking by way of a
Conditional Use Permit. A reduction for shared parking may be granted if a report by a registered traffic
engineer shows that, 1) the Conditional Use Permit findings can be made; 2) a sufficient number of spaces
2
is provided to meet the greatest parking demands of the participating use types and to ensure that there
will not be a parking deficiency; 3) satisfactory evidence is provided that the use types, by their natures
and operating times, will not conflict with each other; and 4) overflow parking will not adversely effect
any adjacent use.
A Parking Study was prepared for the City by Omni Means Engineers to identify the existing parking
demand and average vehicle occupancy for the Sierra Business Center (Attachment 6). The peak
operating hours for the church occur during weekday service on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and
weekend services on Sunday mornings. Therefore, the parking study was conducted on a Wednesday
evening from 6:30pm-9pm and a Sunday morning from 9:30am-12:45pm. The following table shows the
peak parking demand for the center as noted in the parking study.
The City's Traffic Engineer used the average vehicle occupancy identified in the parking study to estimate
the peak parking demand generated by the expanded facility to ensure that adequate parking is provided
for this use. The peak parking is anticipated to occur on Sunday mornings and generate the need for 309
parking spaces (600 peoplell.96 people per vehicle + 3 spaces for company vehicles = 309). The
anticipated parking demand exceeds the Zoning Ordinance parking requirement of 150 spaces. Therefore,
Condition 5 has been included which requires the Applicant to provide a minimum of 309 parking spaces
on Sunday mornings. However, only 222 on-site parking spaces are provided within the center - a
shortage of 87 parking spaces.
The Applicant has obtained an Off-Site Parking Agreement (Attachment 7) that grants the use of 150
parking spaces on Sunday mornings. These parking spaces are located at 6591 Sierra Lane and at the
Sierra Trinity Business Park located at 6723 and 6761 Sierra Court. The tenants at these locations do not
operate on Sundays and have consented to allowing use of this parking by the church. These off-site
parking spaces are located within 350 feet of The Well. Condition 24 has been included which requires
the off-site spaces to be ADA accessible to the project site and includes providing a pedestrian pathway
that joins the off-site parking with the project site. Access to the church will be through the doors located
on the east and west elevations of the building.
The combination of on and off-site parking spaces will make a total of 372 parking spaces available for
use by The Well Church on Sunday mornings. The available parking exceeds the anticipated parking
demand by 63 spaces (372-309=63). The peak operating hours for the church (i.e. Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings) occur when the other businesses within the center are closed.
Therefore, the availability of on and off-site parking spaces and the operating hours of the church should
limit the potential for overflow parking and impacts to surrounding uses.
On March 9, 2004, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for the Cross Winds
Church (P A 03-054). Approval of this Conditional Use Permit allowed a place of worship to operate in
the M-l zoning district with a parking reduction. The parking reduction included an Off-Site Parking
Agreement to utilize 150 spaces located on the parcel to the north of the project site. Staff has not
received any complaints regarding the parking at The Cross Winds Church since this Conditional Use
Permit was approved. The proposed Off-Site Parking Agreement proposed for The Well is similar in
nature to the agreement for the Cross Winds Church.

Project Design and Development:
The Applicant proposed to make tenant improvements to the interior of the building. These
improvements will include new exterior doors to meet exiting requirements. No further improvements to
the exterior of the building are proposed. The Applicant is required to obtain a building permit for the
proposed improvements.
Review by City Departments:
The proposed project has been reviewed by the Building Division, Public Works Department, Police
Services Department, the Alameda County Fire Department, and the Dublin San Ramon Services District.
Conditions of Approval have been included where applicable. The Applicant has reviewed the draft
Conditions of Approval and agreed to comply with the City's requirements.
Conditional Use Permit Required Findings:
To approve a Conditional Use Permit, the following findings must be made: the proposed use is
compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 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; will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood; will
have adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure
that it would not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare; and the site is physically suitable
for the type, density and intensity of the use and related structures being proposed. Staff has prepared the
draft findings included in the proposed resolution (Attachment 1).
NOTICING:
In accordance with State law, a public notice regarding this hearing was mailed to all property owners and
occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project. A public notice was also published in the Valley
Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. To date, the City has not received comments
or objections from surrounding property owners or tenants regarding the current proposal.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is categorically exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing; receive Staff presentation and
take testimony from the Applicant and the Public; close the Public Hearing and Deliberate; and adopt a
Resolution (Attachment 1) approving a Conditional Use Permit for The Well Christian Community
Church Expansion.

Subject:
Parking Survey Data for 6fThe Well" Church at #6527 Sierra Lane in
the Sierra Business Center Development
Dear Mr. Baker:
This letter report slUIlIDarizes our parking survey data for The Well chmch at 6527 Sierra
Lane in Dublin. The parking surveys were conducted on Sunday May 15 from 9:30 AM
to 12:45 PM and Wednesday evening May 18 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. These survey
hours reflect the Sunday morning church worship services and the Wednesday evening
church activity. The attached data includes detailed parking sUIVey results (recorded
every 15 minutes), a sketch of the parking survey area and vehicle occupancy survey
results.
We counted a total of 222 marked parking spaces within the Sierra Business Center
development. It is noted that 17 of the marked spaces were observed to be unavailable
due to materials storage and a shipping container. It is also noted that 6 church related
vehicles were observed parallel parking along the west side of the west parking aisle
leading to/from Sierra Lane, but there are no marked spaces along this aisle near SjeITa
Lane. This road is only 26-28 feet wide, and the paraJlel parking substantially reduces the
width available for two-way traffic flow. At several other locations in the development, a
total of 5 additional church related vehicles were observed parking along unmarked
curbs.
As noted in the parking surveys, the Sunda.y morning church demand peaks between
11 :00 AM and 12:00 noon at 150-151 vehicles. There is very limited background
parking (9 vehicles) that appears to reflect permanent vehicles related to the Sierra
Business Center tenants. This total demand includes the 11 church related vehicles
paxked along ruunarked curbs in the development. Based on our surveys, the average
occupancy was 1.96 persons per vehicle.
During the Wednesday evening sUIVeys, the church related demand peaked between 7; 15
and 8:00 PM at 84-87 vehicles. Again, background parking is very light at only 7
vehicles. No vehicles were observed parking along the west parking aisle or other

unmarked curbs during the Wednesday evening sW'Vey. The average occupancy during
the Wednesday eve:nìng surveys was 1.90 persons per vehicle.
Although not recorded on the attached survey sheets, we also observed parking demand
in the business developments west and north of the Sierra Business Center development.
During both the SWlday morning and Wednesday evening periods, parking demand in
those developments was very light.
I trust that this analysis responds to your data needs. Please call me with any further
questions or comments.

The property has 228 parking spaces to serve the approximately 70,000 square feet of the Sierra Business
Center. The building that the proposed project is proposed to be located, totals 50,400 square feet.

The current parking demand for the building is 50 parking spaces. The building has 152 parking spaces
assigned and immediately adjacent to the building. The proposed church would be 10,800 square feet in
size and, according to the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance, would require 1 parking space per 50 square
feet of non-fixed seating in the assembly area and 1 parking space per classroom. The assembly area is
4,800 square feet, which would require 96 parking spaces. The four proposed classrooms would require
an additional four parking spaces for total required parking of 100 stalls. The total required parking,
including the church, would be 150 parking stalls, based on the current and proposed tenant roster. The
site would have adequate parking because there are 152 parking stalls to serve the building. Additionally
the maj ority of the tenants within the building are industrial/warehouse type uses, which require 1 per 400
square feet and 1 per 1000 square feet, respectively. Therefore as the building tenants turn over and the
vacant spaces are filled, the potential use types, which are permitted within the M-l zoning district, have a
low parking demand (between 1 parking space per 400 and 1000 square feet of floor area).
Moreover, the remaining square footage of the two buildings, total 19,600 square feet (70,000-50,400
=19,600) and 76 parking spaces remain to serve the two buildings. The remaining parking ratio of the two
buildings is one parking space per 258 square feet, which is more than adequate to serve any allowed use,
as well as allow for vacant tenant spaces to be filled and still have adequate parking.
Imvrovements:
The proposed church would occupy the existing building located at 6533 Sierra Lane and the applicant has
not proposed any exterior modifications to the building. According to the Chief Building Official, any
change in occupancies requires the building to meet the code requirements of the proposed occupancy.
Use Permit Findiní!s:
The church will not be located in close proximity to any residential uses. It is not anticipated that the
church will have noise impacts on any adjacent uses. The church office will be open Monday through
Friday, 8:00 am-4:00 pm and the church services will be held Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
with a potential evening service fTom 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Additionally, mid-week service and or bible
study occurs on Tuesday and/or Wednesday nights 6:00 to 9:30 p.m. The hours of operation of the
proposed church, generating the most parking demand, are during the hours that other uses within the
2
Center are not functioning; therefore, Staff finds that the proposed use will not have any negative impacts
to those uses within the Center or surrounding properties.
Noticinf!:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants within 300
feet of the proposed project, to advertise the project and the upcoming public hearing. A public notice
was also published in the Tri-Valley Herald and posted at several locations throughout the City. To date,
the City has received no contact or objections from surrounding property owners or tenants regarding the
current proposal.
Envjronmental Revjew:
This project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class I of the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The project consists of minor modifications to an
existing building and is consistent with all General Plan and Zoning regulations and is currently served by
all required utilities and public services.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution (Attachment I) approving the
Conditional Use Permit to establish a new church within the 10,800 square foot tenant space located at
6533 Sierra Lane.

Project Name: The Well. A Christian Community
Project Description: Church. Worship Center and StatTOffices

Applicant Name: Evan L Simmons Phone: 925-277-3033
· Completed Application Form: Attached

· Written Statement:
8. The Well Christian Community is a non-denominational non-sectarian
church, conducting Sunday morning services, and mid-week
meetings/activities during non-business, evening hours. The church staff
will also have their offices at this location, and will be conducting office
business during normal office hours.
b. The church staff will be comprised of 5-7 ful1Jpart time employees who
will conduct business during normal Monday through Friday business
hours. Corporate worShip/service attendance is estimated to rise from the
current level of approximately 150 (adults and children), to approximately
300 (adults and children). We estimate that this increase will be noted
gradually over the next two years. The maximum occupancy load will be
experienced during the Sunday morning worship service (10:00 am
through 12:00 noon).
c. Church "office" hours will generally be conducted Monday through
Friday from 8:00 am through 4:00 pm. Sunday morning service will be
RECEIVED
- ..1UL 2 8 2003

JUBLlN PLANNING

"'" '""" . ....
conducted ftom 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. There will be two mid-week
evening services on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:00 pm through 9:00
pm. Additionally, there will periodically be Friday evening activities
(7:00 pm), Saturday morning activities (6:30 am - 8:30 am), and Sunday
evening activities (7:00 pm). These activities will in all probability be
somewhat less attended than the maximum projected attendance of 300 for
the Sunday morning worship service.
d. This business is not designed to target a specific segment of the
community, excepting the fact that being a Biblically based, Christian
organization; the Church will inherently attract individuals and families
with similar Christian backgrounds, or those seeking to learn more about
the Church and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
e. The Well does and will continue to preach and minister the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to individuals and families of many cultural backgrounds.
We feel strongly that the message delivered by the Holy Scriptures is for
all people regardless of ethnic origin and believe in the impact of these
teachings for positively effecting family relationships, individual
relationships within the neighborhood or community, and within the
workplace. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, when delivered in truth and love
carries with it the power to change people's lives. The benefits and results
of this teaching for the commW1ity of Dublin and the surrounding area will
be positive for all those involved. Acknowledging that all are children of
the God we worship, The Well actively seeks to be an ethnically diverse,
multi-cultural church.
f. Owing to the relatively small number of staff employees who will be
present during norma] Monday through Friday business hours, there win
be no discernable impact on the current business (or residential)
environment. Any "high volume" attendance activities will be conducted
either on weekends or during the evening hours, as noted above. As such
these activities will have no significant negative affect on other businesses
in this area. Further, as this is a zoned industrial area, there are no
"residential" disruption concerns for either weekday, or weekend times
and activities.
g. Excepting the nonna] "office and traffic" issues, there will be no
additional negative effects or impacts on the health or safety of individuals
either working or visiting this business or its immediate vicinity.
b. There will be no unusual effects or negative impacts on the facility or
surrounding property, transportation system, or any other neighborhood
function as a result of The Well occupying this business location. Parking
spaces surrounding this facility number approximately 230. Using the
City ofDubJin Zoning Ordinance document, amended November 1,2002,
Chapter 8.76, Section C under "Place of Worship", the number of parking
spaces required, in a non-fixed seating area is: 1 00 (The assembly area of
the facility is approximately 4800 ft. sq., 1 space per 50 sq. ft. is 96
required spaces, plus 1 space per classroom (four classroom spaces are
anticipated), equaling 100 spaces). Thus, available parking spaces are
more than sufficient to handle the expected maximum occupancy load
during the Sunday morning service.
i. The subject facility is not located on a hazardous waste and substance site
(pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5).
