On October 22, 1980, the Alameda County Planning Director approved a Site Development Review Application for the location of six office buildings on approximately 2.75 acres of an approximate 23.49 acre parcel. Four of the six buildings were constructed, one of which has since burned down. On April 2, 1981, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 81-26 rezoning an approximate 23.49 acre parcel from the C-2, General Commercial District to a PD, Planned Development, allowing C-O uses, and some C-1 uses, subject to the C-0 District regulations. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-31.18 states if a proposed structure, facility or land use not indicated on a Land Use and Development Plan approved by the City Council does not materially change the provisions of the approved Land Use and development Plan, the structure, facility or land use may be permitted subject to securing a Conditional Use Permit. 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) 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 8-1.4(a) states that no real property, or portion thereof, within the City of Dublin shall be divided into two or more parcels for the purpose of sale, lease or financing, whether immediate or future, unless prior thereto a Tentative Map is acted upon and a Final Map or Parcel Map has been filed in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. -2- PAGE a OF /5 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15315, Class 15 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. The proposed project consists of the division of an existing improved parcel into two separate parcels. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the August 19, 1991 hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The Applicant, Ron Archer, representing Enea Properties, is requesting approval of Tentative Parcel Map 6179 to allow the division of an existing improved 4.5 acre+ parcel into two separate parcels (Lot 1=3.4 Acres, Lot 2=1.1 Acres) and a Conditional Use Permit request for a minor modification to the existing Planned Development General Provisions to allow a minimum lot frontage of twenty-five feet at 6665-6690 Amador Plaza Road. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map 6179 will allow the property owners, Enea Properties, to sell the newly created Lot 2. A Lot line adjustment will be processed to extend the northern boundary of Lot 2 approximately 20 feet to the north, to provide twenty additional required parking spaces on -site. Parking for both Lot 1 (243 spaces provided, 148 spaces required) and Lot 2 (80 spaces provided, 74 spaces required) will continue to comply with the Parking Regulations within the Zoning Ordinance. With exception of the lot line adjustment, the added parking, and the related perimeter landscaping, no other physical changes to the site are proposed. The existing site possesses two driveways for access onto the site. In order to maintain individual access to each lot, an Emergency Access Easement (EVA) will be recorded. The EVA will extend across the driveway at the northwestern tip of lot 2, and continue southerly across lot 1, to maintain joint access to existing Buildings "B" and "C". Section 8-60.3 of the Zoning Ordinance states that whenever a new building site is hereinafter created by division of an existing Lot, the effective lot frontage of each such new building site shall be equal to one-half of either the required or the actual median lot width thereof, whichever is greater. The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to modify the existing Planned Development General Provisions to allow a minimum lot frontage of twenty-five feet. The median lot width of Lot 1 is over 500 feet, requiring an effective lot frontage of approximately 250 feet. The median lot width of Lot 2 is approximately 180 feet, requiring an effective -3- PAGE 3 OF /5 lot frontage of approximately 90 feet. The existing parcel has an effective lot frontage of approximately 117.5 feet. The location of the existing parcel at the southern terminus of Amador Plaza Road, on a cul-de-sac, has resulted in a deep and wide lot with a comparatively narrow lot frontage. The division of the existing lot proposed by Tentative Parcel Map 6179 should not affect the operation of the existing office complex. Additionally, the proposed minor modification to the Planned Development General Provisions to allow a reduced effective lot frontage of twenty-five feet will not affect ingress or egress to the existing office complex. This project has been reviewed by other City departments and affected agencies and their comments have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant's request for Tentative Parcel Map 6179 and a Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolutions, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively. 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 and C) relating to PA 91-048, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter. ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the draft resolutions approving the Tentative Map (Exhibit B) and Conditional Use Permit (Exhibit C) relating to PA 91-048.
