AGENDA STATEMENT/STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: October 19, 1992
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Staff '`
PREPARED BY: David K. Choy, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: PA 92-067 City of Dublin Zone Change from M-1
District to C-2 District and C-O District in the
vicinity of Village Parkway and Clark Avenue
GENERAL INFORMATION:
PROJECT:
APPLICANT:
The City of Dublin proposes to change the zoning
designation for parcels in the vicinity of Village
Parkway and Clark Avenue from the M-1 District to the
C-2 and C-O Districts
City of Dublin
100 Civic Plaza
Dublin, CA 94568
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration has been prepared pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA
Guidelines, and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. The
proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the October 19, 1992 hearing was
published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and
posted in public buildings.
BACKGROUND
On August 17, 1992, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
92-046 approving PA 92-065 Zone Change Initiation for eight parcels (APN
941-1401-3, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, and 12) from the M-1, Light Industrial
District to the C-0, Administrative Office District, and for one parcel
(APN 941-1401-19) from the M-1, Light Industrial District to the C-2,
General Commercial District (see Attachments 1 and 2).
The Planning Department initiated this zone change request in
response to the Operating Engineers Credit Union's Site Development
Review and Zone Change application (PA 92-050, 6300 - 6370 Village
Parkway). The Applicant requested approval to rezone their property from
the M-1 District to the C-O District (northern parcel's zoning
designation) and construct a breezeway that connects their building with
ITEM NO. IL.411

the adjacent northern building located on a separate parcel (6400 Village
Parkway).
A lot merger application is required to combine both parcels.
However, the application cannot be considered at this time because the
resulting parcel would be split zoned. The zone change would provide a
consistent zoning designation for the combined parcels and would allow
the Planning Department to consider the lot merger application.
ANALYSIS
In analyzing the Operating Engineers Credit Union's request, Staff
evaluated other properties located along Village Parkway and Clark
Avenue, south of Dublin Boulevard, and the British Petroleum (BP) Gas
Station and Car Wash facility located at 6602 Village Parkway (southwest
corner of Dublin Boulevard and Village Parkway) for zoning and General
Plan consistency. The eight contiguous parcels and the BP Gas Station
parcel are zoned M-1, Light Industrial District (see Exhibit A).
Staff recommends zone change approval for the BP Gas Station parcel
from the M-1 District to the C-2 District for General Plan consistency
and elimination of spot zoning. The General Plan land use designation
for this parcel is Retail/Office.
All of the eight contiguous parcels have been developed with office
as the primary use, except the National Food Laboratory located at 6363
Clark Avenue, which is operating as a research and development facility.
The M-1 District does not allow office as a primary use. The County of
Alameda approved the construction of office buildings and the
establishment of office uses on these parcels prior to the City of Dublin
incorporating.
The Planning Department has received a letter from Howard Heller, of
Kin Properties, Inc., representing the property owners of the National
Food Laboratory parcel (see Attachment 5). Mr. Heller is concerned with
the effect of the zone change on the present and future operation of
their facility. The C-O District allows office as a permitted use and
research and development facilities as a conditional use. If this zone
change is approved, the National Food Laboratory would be considered a
legal nonconforming use and would be allowed to continue operating at its
present location.
Staff recommends zone change approval for the eight contiguous
parcels. The C-O District zoning designation would allow the continued
operation of the existing primary office uses located on Clark Avenue and
Village Parkway. This designation is more consistent with the adjacent
downtown general commercial, retail, and office uses and zoning
designations. The C-O District is also consistent with the General Plan
land use designation, which is Business Park/Industrial. This land use
classification includes non -retail businesses, such as research, limited
manufacturing and distribution activities, and administrative offices.
This zone change request has been reviewed by other City Departments
and the City Attorney and their comments have been incorporated into the
Draft Resolutions. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the Draft Resolutions recommending to the City Council 1) approval of a
-2-
PAGE a OF 1
Negative Declaration (Exhibit B) and 2) approval of a zone change for
eight contiguous parcels located in the general vicinity of Village
Parkway and Clark Avenue, south of Dublin Boulevard from the M-1, Light
Industrial District to the C-O, Administrative Office District, and a
zone change for the BP Gas Station property located at 6602 Village
Parkway, from the M-1 Light Industrial District to the C-2, General
Commercial District (Exhibit C).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation.
2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public.
3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public.
4) Close public hearing and deliberate.
5) Adopt Draft Resolutions (Exhibits B & C) relating to the
Negative Declaration and the zone change for PA 92-067, or
give Staff direction and continue the matter.
ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Draft
Resolutions (Exhibits B and C) for PA 92-067 Zone Change
recommending City Council adoption of a Negative Declaration
and Zone Change from 1) the M-1, Light Industrial District to
the C-O, Administrative Office District for eight contiguous
parcels located in the general vicinity of Village Parkway and
Clark Avenue, south of Dublin Boulevard, and 2) the M-1, Light
Industrial District to the C-2, General Commercial District for
the BP Gas Station property located at 6602 Village Parkway.

Residential: Medium Density (6.1 to 14.0 units per gross residential acre). The
range allows duplex, townhouse, and garden apartment development suitable for family
living. Except where mixed dwelling types are designated, unit types and densities
may be similar or varied. Where the plan requires mixed dwelling types, listed
policies specific to the site govern the location and distribution of dwelling tv es.
Assumed household size is two persons -per unit. Recently reviewed projects in the
medium density range include -Parkway Terrace (7.8) and Amador Lakes west of the
Dougherty Hills (13.5).
Residential: Medium -High Density (14.1 to 25.0 units per gross residential acre).
Projects at the upper end of this range normally will require some under -structure
parking and will have three or more living levels in order to meet zoning ordinance
open space requirements. Assumed household size is two persons per unit. Examples
of medium -high density projects include The Springs (17.8) and Greenwood Apartments
(19.8).
Commercial/Industrial
Retail/Office. Shopping centers, stores, restaurants, business and professional
offices, motels, service stations,.and--sai of -auto parts are included in this
classification. Residential use is excluded except in the Downtown Intensification
Area.
Retail/Office and Automotive. This classification includes all retail/office uses
and adds auto dealerships, auto body shops, and similar uses. Residential uses are
not permitted
Business Park/Industrial. Uses are non -retail businesses (research, limited
manufacturing and distribution activities, and administrative offices) that do not
involve heavy trucking or generate nuisances due to emissions, noise, or open uses.
Residential uses are not permitted. Maximum attainable ratios of floor area to site
area (FAR) are controlled by parking and landscaping requirements and typically
result in .35 to .40 FAR's. Examples: Clark Avenue, Sierra Court.
Business Park/Industrial: Outdoor Storage. In addition to the Business
Park/Industrial uses described above, this classification includes retail and
manufacturing activities conducted outdoors such as mobile home or construction
materials storage. Example: Scarlett Court.
Public/Semi-Public
Public/Semi-Public Facilities. Uses other than parks owned by a public agency that
are of sufficient size to warrant differentiation from adjoining uses are labeled.
Development of housing on a site designated on the General Plan as semi-public shall
be considered consistent with the General Plan. Determination as to whether housing
should be permitted on a specific semi-public site and the acceptable density and
design will be through review of a Planned Unit Development proposal under the Zoning
Ordinance. Examples: Public and private schools, churches.
Parks/Public Recreation. Publicly owned parks and recreation facilities.
Open Space. Included are areas dedicated as open space on subdivision maps, sloes
greater than 30 percent, stream protection corridors, woodlands, and grazing lands.

Att: Laurence L. Tong, Planning Director
Re: Our Property #3237 - 6363 Clark Avenue, Dublin, California
Dear Mr. Tong:
With reference to the above -captioned property, your office has
forwarded a notice directed to the attention of Jeffrey Sandelman, one
of the principals of this corporation concerning a hearing before the
Planning Commission as of October 19. Included on the agenda for said
hearing and listed as Project 2 is an application which apparently has
been made by the City of Dublin to rezone certain properties located
along Clark Avenue covering address nos. 6300, 6363, 6379, 6377 and
6375 as well as 6300-6370, 6250, 6200, 6602 Village Parkway. The
proposed rezoning would be to alter the zoning district from M-1 Light
Industrial District to C-2 and C-0 districts.
Please note that this office represents the owner of the premises at
6363 Clark Avenue which is leased to The National Food Laboratory.
Said premises is utilized for purposes of offices, for purposes of food
processing and for purposes of dry storage. The owner of said
premises, and to the best of our knowledge the tenant of said premises,
has no interest in having the property rezoned without its input.
Accordingly, please accept this letter as a most strenuous objection to
any attempt to rezone the premises at 6363 Clark Avenue. We question
the reason for any attempt to rezone the premises and request an
explanation with respect to the same. We also request complete
information as to the uses allowed in the M-1 Light Industrial District
Zoning as well as the C-2 and C-0 District zoning classifications.
Obviously, our concern is to make certain that the premises in question
is not rezoned in a more restrictive classification then currently
allowed and we certainly must take all steps necessary to make certain
OCT 13 '92 E04: Et2 PM KIN PROPERTIES INC

that the current use of the premises by the tenant of the premises is
not affected. since we are an out of state property owner, we request
an immediate response by mail or by telephone with respect to this
issue and again strenuously object to the rezoning application which
has been filed without the property owners input.

to a conflict with the Zoning Ordinance provisions regarding
freestanding signs.
A situation currently exists on the property where an additional
freestanding sign identifying Carrow's Restaurant was discovered
by Staff during review of nonconforming signs.
Staff is currently working with General Cinema, Carrow's
Restaurant and the property owners, Dublin Associates, to resolve
this issue.
