Chapter 8.104, Site Development Review of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
B. The storm water quality control basin, as conditioned, is consistent with the policies of the
General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the Stage 2 Development Plan P A 05-005, and
with all other requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
C. The storm water quality control basin, as conditioned, 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 general welfare because the development is consistent with all laws and ordinances
and implements the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Dublin General Plan.
D. The proposed site development, including site layout, vehicular access, circulation, setbacks,
height, walls, public safety and similar elements, has been designed to provide a desirable
environment for the development. No structures or on-site parking is proposed.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the proposed storm water
quality control basin because it is a level site with area and dimensions that will accommodate
the proposed use.
F. The storm water quality control basin will not impact views because the proposed project
conforms with the Eastern Dublin Scenic Corridor Policies and Standards.
G. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because the property is flat
and there are no significant topographic features.
H. Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, including color and building
materials and colors, screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar
elements have been incorporated into the project, and as conditions of approval, in order to
insure compatibility of this development with the development's design concept or theme and

consistent with the Dublin General Plan and with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Dublin does hereby
find that the proposed Site Development Review:
will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the
surrounding area.
