On December 2, 1986, the Dublin Zoning
Administrator denied a Variance request (Custom
Music/Dublin Investments) to allow the
construction of a low profile sign that would
exceed the maximum allowable aggregate sign area
for the site.
On May 4, 1987, Enterprise Rent -a Car (Applicant)
withdrew a Conditional Use Permit application
request to establish an auto rental service with
outdoor storage of rental vehicles.
On September 1, 1987, the Dublin Planning Director
approved an Administrative Conditional Use Permit
request (Custom Music) to allow temporary
promotional displays (30 day time frame).
On June 27, 1989, the Dublin Planning Director
approved an Administrative Conditional Use Permit
request (Airco Supply Company) to allow a 30 day
grand opening temporary promotional sign.
On March 14, 1990, the Dublin Planning Director
approved a Site Development Review request (Dublin
Business Center Sign Program) for new wall signs
and a C-2-B-40 directory sign.
On May 4, 1990, the Dublin Planning Director
approved an Administrative Conditional Use Permit
request (Classic Oak) to allow a 30 day grand
opening temporary promotional sign; and on July
20, 1990, the Planning Director approved an
Administrative Conditional Use Permit request
(Classic Oak) to allow temporary promotional
displays (20 day time frame).
On May 4, 1992, the Dublin Planning Commission
approved a Conditional Use Permit request
(Planning Commission Resolution No. 92-026) to
establish a car facility with outdoor storage of
rental vehicles in a C-2-B-40 District.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to
determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need;
-2-
PAGE 2 OF
2) whether or not the use will be properly related to other land uses,
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or
not the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons
residing or working in the vicinity; and 4) whether or not the use
will be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance
standards established for the district in which it is located.
Section 8-94.2 Conditional Uses: Changes and Renewals of the
Zoning Ordinance states that the Planning Commission/Zoning
Administrator shall hear and decide applications to waive any
condition previously imposed upon a Conditional Use.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under
Section 15301, Class 1 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The project
consists of a minor change to the operation of an existing car rental
facility to include outdoor car washing on the project site.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the July 6, 1992 hearing was published
in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted
in public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
On May 4, 1992 the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use
Permit request (Planning Commission Resolution No. 92-026) to allow
the establishment of a car rental facility with the outdoor storage of
rental vehicles in a C-2-B-40 District. The Applicant is requesting a
modification to Condition #5 of the Conditional Use Permit resolution
to allow the washing of rental vehicles on -site. Condition #5
currently reads as follows, "The servicing or washing of the rental
vehicles or equipment on the site shall not be permitted."
The Applicant is proposing to wash the vehicles at one of the two
locations shown on Attachment 2 by using a garden hose attached to a
hose bib along the west or east sides of the building. Both locations
are adjacent to the parking lot drainage system.
The project was reviewed by other City departments and government
agencies. The Dublin San Ramon Services District did not apply any
water recycling or water services fee conditions to the project since
a drive -through type car wash facility was not being proposed.
Dougherty Regional Fire Authority (DRFA) had concerns with location #1
in that a minimum 20 foot wide driveway access for emergency vehicles
would not be maintained. DRFA had no objection to location #2.
Planning Staff recommends approval of location #2 for car washing
because DRFA requirements would be met and car washing would not be
visible to the public from Dublin Boulevard.
As a condition of approval, the vehicles being washed shall not
block any on -site drive aisles, parking spaces or rear building
entrances or exits.

PAGE OF I
The project is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and the
General Plan.
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit request
to modify Condition #5 of the previous Conditional Use Permit approval
(Planning Commission Resolution No. 92-026) to allow the washing of
vehicles on site, subject to the conditions specified in the Draft
Resolution (Exhibit B).
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 Resolution approving PA 92-031 Enterprise
Rent -a -Car Conditional Use Permit (Exhibit B), or give
Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter.
ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Draft
Resolution (Exhibit B) approving the Conditional Use Permit,
for PA 92-031 Enterprise Rent -a -Car.

Mr. Laurence L. Tong
Planning Director

PO Box 2340
Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Mr. Tong:
RE: Use Permit Request
Enterprise Rent-A-Car would like to have the option of washing cars
on the premises of 6867 Dublin Blvd. We would use a garden hose
from a hose bib on the west side of the building, away from the
traffic and public view. There is a storm drain that is located at
the west end of the building that would allow for proper drainage.
The washing of a car would consist of rinsing off any dirt or dust
and using biodegradable soap which is sanctioned as environmentally
safe.
A less preferable option for us would be to wash cars at the
northeast side of the building which would have the same type of
drainage, but would be on the opposite end of the building, thus
farther away from our office.
It is important to give our customers prompt, efficient service
which would include having clean cars available on a timely basis.
We feel approval of this request would enable us to maintain
acceptable service levels.
Should you require any additional details regarding this request,
feel free to contact me at (510) 297-5302.
Sincerely,
Len Almalech
Vice President/Daily Rental
