The approval was for five years. Z-3301: On March 2, 1978, the Alameda County Zoning Administrator held a public hearing to consider revoking the Conditional Use Permit approved by C-3242 due to non-compliance with a condition of approval requiring that solid fencing be installed around portions of the site. The consideration of revocation was dropped by the Zoning Administrator when it was found that the fence was unnecessary along the Flood Control easement. AC-3949: On January 29, 1981 the Alameda County Zoning Administrator approved an Administrative Conditional Use Permit to allow the recycling of aluminum cans within a trailer at this site. The approval was good for a period of one year. The application was not renewed and this business operation ceased. PA 82-007: On November 18, 1982, the Dublin Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow the continued operation of a heavy construction equipment storage and rental business. The approval was for one year. PA 83-027: On August 8, 1983 the Dublin City Engineer approved a lot line adjustment to subdivide the existing 9.6+ acre parcel into four separate parcels consisting of 2.24, 2.23, 3.08 and 2.07 acres respectively. PA 83-041: On September 6, 1983, the Dublin Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow the storage of mobile offices and the construction of a 2,800 square foot administrative office on 7.5 acres (APN's 941-550-25; 941-550-19-4; and 941-550-19-5). The administrative office was constructed on the parcel fronting on Scarlett Court while storage occurred on all three of the parcels. This approval expired September 16, 1986. PA 83-085: On March 12, 1984, the Dublin Planning Director approved the construction of a 20 X 40 foot maintenance building on APN's 941- 550-19-4; 941-550-19-5; and 941-550-29. -2- PAGE.OF LL PA 87-164: On March 7, 1988, the Dublin Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to allow Scotsman to move their outdoor storage yard to the third parcel north of Scarlett Court (941-550-19-9). The Conditional Use Permit approval expired March 17, 1990. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-51.3(b) states that in an M-1, Light Industrial District the use of long-term exterior storage is considered a Conditional Use. 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 peformance standards established for the district in which it is located. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The project consists of the operation of an existing structure involving no expansion of use beyond that previously existing. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the July 16, 1990 hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: Background The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the continued operation of the selling, leasing, and exterior storage of mobile office trailers and modular buildings. This use was first approved by the Dublin Planning Commission through a Conditional Use Permit (PA 83-041) on September 6, 1983. PA 83-041 expired on September 16, 1986. On March 7, 1988, the Dublin Planning Commission approved a one year Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review (PA 87-164) to allow the business, Scotsman, to move their operations to the third parcel north of Scarlett Court. One year later, the Planning Staff granted a one year extension for Conditional Use Permit PA 87-164. On March 17, 1990, PA 87-164 expired without the business being moved as approved. The business has operated on the front two parcels without a valid Conditonal Use Permit approval since 1986, while the third parcel north of Scarlett Court remains vacant. The Applicant is presently requesting approval of the operation approved under PA 83-041. -3- PAGE 3 0FL Analysis The City Zoning Ordinance indicates exterior storage within an M-1 (Light Industrial District) may be allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The subject site has been used for outdoor storage activities since 1970. The land uses on adjacent properties include storage, warehouse and manufacturing activities. The activities associated with the proposed application appear to be appropriate for the property, and in conformance with the M-1 Zoning District and the General Plan. The layout of the site includes a one story, 2,860 square foot, concrete office building with the parking lot fronting Scarlett Court. Behind the office building is a 40 foot X 40 foot, 1,600 square foot metal warehouse used for the maintenance of the mobile offices. The remainder of the site is used for the exterior storage of the mobile offices. The hours of operation for the facility are 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Mobile offices will not be returned during non-business hours. No manufacturing of these offices takes place at the site. Parking requirements for the site are: Type of Use Square Footage Parking Ratio Required Parking Office 2,860 1 space/250 sq. ft. 11 spaces floor area Warehouse 1,600 1 space/1000 sq. ft. 2 spaces floor area TOTAL REQUIRED 13 spaces Adequate parking is provided in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance as the site presently contains 14 customer parking spaces. During a visit to the site, two on-site deficiencies were observed: 1) the western portion of the chain link fence separating the site from the Flood Control channel had fallen down, and 2) the landscaping fronting Scarlett Court contains an area of dead grass. The conditions of approval address these issues by requiring the Applicant to work with Zone 7 in repairing the fence and by requiring the dying lawn to be replaced. All storage was found to be on-site in the designated storage area. This application has been reviewed by other agencies and City departments, and applicable conditions of approval are included in the resolution to address their concerns. Staff has received no compaints regarding the operation of the business. The proposed uses are appropriate for the site, compatible with surrounding uses and in compliance with the intent of the M-1 District in which the site is located. Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to continue the use at 6085 Scarlett Court. -4- PAGE or RECOMMENDATION: 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 Resolution approving the Conditional use Permit, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter.

August 12, 1983 Planning Commission City of Dublin Scotsman Manufacturing is in the business of manufac- turing, leasing, and selling mobile office trailers and modular buildings. One of the most misleading terms in our industry is the phrase modular buildings. To better clarify this, I can best describe a modular building as a site built struc- ture that is built off site. Scotsman Manufacturing is extremely pleased and excited at the opportunity to continue maintaining our branch operations in Dublin, California. We have been operating our Northern California branch office in Dublin for 7 years. Due to the business growth and Scotsman's dedication to improving and advancing in the market place, a major step has been taken in the purchase of 6085 Scarlett Court. From a business standpoint, our new property affords us the opportunity to achieve maximum visual exposure to the market places. Our goal quite obviously is to streng- then our position in the market place and in order to acc- omplish this goal we must present to the public the number one facility in the history of our industry. In quest of our goal the City of Dublin, will receive a beautifully designed and landscaped facility at a location which is strategically located in the eye of the city. In accordance with your requirements, I would like to present the short-term and long-term use of the above men- tioned property. In order to provide our product to the market places, Scotsman Manufacturing strategically locates branch offices throughout the areas it serves. E XIUBtT c T branch offices normal hours of operation aresrrom 30 a. to 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. NUG 151983 DUBLi �E a MM���1�66' IN The normal branch operation requires the use of small electrical hand tools, air compressors and cleaning equipment. The noise factor attributed to the branch operation would be directly related to the u"se of such equipment. The branch offices are required to have in stock a number of standard buildings available.for immediate delivery to its customers. When buildings are returned from the customers, it is the responsibility of the branch to clean, refurbish, and service the buildings for the next client. If we can refer to sheet No. 2 "Site Plan", I would like to address the office proposed for Dublin. The branch sales office we are proposing will be a 2880 square feet 1-story building. The area for storage of exising buildings is detailed on the plan along with split face concrete block wall. Parking has been carefully layed out to handle customer and employee needs. The trash area has been set back, out of view, and enclosed. Areas such as landscaping, security fencing, and night lighting have been taken into consideration as shown on the site plan. The first phase of Scotsman's growth in Northern Ca. is based on completing the total installation of the branch office and related site work as depicted in attached bar chart. The long term goal of Scotsman Manufacturing will be to turn the Dublin facility into full scale manufacturing, sales, and service complex. We are estimating a time frame of one to-three years to reach this particular goal. The time frame is based on completion of phase one which is the immediate need for the full service branch operation, and increased sales force directed towards the modular building market. The key function of the new sales force will be to educate the business community on the use of modular buildings as an alternate to site built construction. The addition of the manufacturing facility will enable us to employ up to 100 trades people from the community and purchasing of materials from local suppliers. PAGJOF.L`�. e1 /1 The short-term and subsequent long-term goal of Scotsman Manufacturing in Northern California is totally dependent upon a timely and favorable acceptance of-our proposal by the City of Dublin. i Respectively You fu- Da'vid W.

South: C-1, General Commercial, Ice Skating Rink East: San Ramon Road, General Commercial uses east of road. West: Planned Development, 174 unit multi- family residential project. ZONING HISTORY: On March 1, 1980, a 56,704 square foot shopping center was approved by the Alameda County Planning Department. That approval expired two years later (Site Development Review S-746). In June, 1983, the City Council amended the San Ramon Road Specific Plan which designated the subject property for development of retail shopper stores. The Plan established design and land use limitations to direct the development of the various parcels within the Specific Plan. On November 28, 1983, the City Council amended the San Ramon Road Specific Plan allowing up to 25% of the total gross first floor area within the proposed development to be for personal service, financial institutions or office use. The remaining 75% of the total gross first floor area was slated to be for shopper oriented retail use. On June 11, 1984, the City Council approved the Planned Development (PD) District Rezoning and Site Development Review (PA 83-042) for the 52,100+ square foot Shopping Center. On June 23, 1986, the City Council amended the San Ramon Road Specific Plan to remove the restriction on the maximum percentage of total gross floor area that can be used for personal service, financial or office uses in the Town & Country Shopping Center. On July 14, 1986, the City Council approved the Planned Development (PD) District Rezoning of the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center project site to allow uses within the referenced shopping center that are generally provided for by the C-1, Retail Business District. On December 18, 1989, the Planning Commission approved PA 89-121, Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review request to modify the Conditions of Approval of PA 83-042 (Festival Enterprises) by an addition of 2,230+ square feet to an existing building of Town & Country Shopping Center. 2 PAGE OF_ APPLICABLE REGULATION: The San Ramon Road Specific Plan establishes land use, building and site design, circulation and parking criteria which provide limitations that govern the use and physical development of the subject property. Section 8.95.0 Site Development Review. This review is intended to 1) provide orderly, attractive and harmonious development; 2) recognize environmental limitations on development; 3) stabilize land values and investments; and 4) promote the general welfare by preventing establishment of uses or erection of structures having qualities which would not meet the specific intent clauses or performance standards of the zoning regulations or which are not properly related to their sites, surroundings, traffic circulation, or their environmental setting. Procedures for Site Development Review indicate that the Planning Director shall decide applications for Site Development Review without a public hearing except in the case of a concurrent Variance or Conditional Use Permit. 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 8.75.35 alternate types of freestanding signs allows shopping center master identification signs for centers with 10 or more tenants, containing only the name of the center, provided the sign is less than 25 feet in height and under 100 square feet in size. 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. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1(e), of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the July 16, 1990, hearing was published in the local newspsper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: This is an application for Site Development Review to allow exterior modifications to the existing Dublin Town and Country Shopping Center, the addition of a new building at the northeast corner of the site, the addition of a freestanding sign and a new sign program for the center. A Conditional -3- PAGE 3 OF-- Use Permit is required to allow a modification to the Planned Development approval for this site, and to ensure consistency with the original project approvals as reflected in the zoning history. This project is the second and final phase of improvements planned for this center. The existing buildings on the site, labeled "Buildings A and C" on Exhibit A, will be repainted to match the approved color scheme for the recently renovated Stroud's building ("Building B") on site, phase 1. In addition to the new colors, both buildings will be fitted with towers at the front (east) elevations to increase visibility from the street level. "Building C" will receive a 25 foot tower and "Building A" will receive a 41 foot tower. The towers have been proposed with flags mounted on top. Flags, in conjunction with promotional events are limited to 30 or 60 days of display with the approval of an Administrative Conditional Use Permit or a Conditional Use Permit. The flags as proposed actually serve as an architectural element and, as such, Staff recommends approving the towers with the flags as a modification to the existing Planned Development. The towers will utilize similar roof tiles as the existing buildings, with cement plaster used to cover the body and support columns. The towers will be painted to match the approved color scheme for the center. "Building A" will also receive a heightened roof which will step up to the tower element to further increase the building visibility. This will create a front facade for "Building A", which may serve as a sign mount for future tenants. Signs proposed to be mounted on this wall will require a separate Site Development Review approval. A new 20 foot tall alternate freestanding shopping center master identification sign will be located at the main entrance to the center on San Ramon Road. The sign consists of an 8.75 foot x 8.75 foot square sign face (76.56 square feet), tilted forty-five degrees on its side, with the copy reading "Strouds Plaza" mounted on a 9.5 foot base. The double faced sign will be placed perpendicular to the front (east) property line, so that exposure from both northbound and southbound travel along San Ramon Road is achieved. The sign will be located five feet back from the property line, and approximately 45 feet back from the street line. The new sign program proposed for the center will include a new 1 foot 8 inch x 11 foot 6 inch internally lit cabinet type wall sign, with 10 inch letters, for individual tenants. Larger tenants occupying more than one leased space may utilize a longer 1 foot 8 inch x 24 foot cabinet type wall sign for identification. These signs will be mounted on the end of the rafters supporting the roof. The sign cabinets shall be raised flush with the roof tiles. The elevated cabinet type wall signs will provide greater visibility for the sign, as well as provide an unobstructed view into the tenant store fronts. A consistent background for the sign will be chosen, with a range of letter colors provided for those businesses wishing to utilize their trademark colors and/or logos. The new approximate 2,000 square foot building located at the northeast corner of the site, labeled "Building D" on Exhibit A, is proposed to be placed on the east property line. Parking for the center will remain adequate, with 271 spaces required and 272 spaces provided. A 20 foot portion of the existing right-of-way would need to be purchased by the Applicant in -4- PAGE l O _ order to comply with the front yard setback requirements of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. Staff recommends approving the sale of this excess right-of- way, since San Ramon Road is at its ultimate width. However, the building as proposed, with a 6 foot covered walkway encircling the structure, would intrude into the required front setback area. The building will need to be redesigned in order to comply with all applicable regulations of both the Zoning Ordinance and the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. This redesign will result in a reduction of the overall square footage of "Building D". Staff has two concerns with the construction of "Building D" at the proposed location. The first concern is whether this new building, with additional retail space, is needed within the shopping center. The vacancy rate within the shopping center has historically been high. The proposed exterior improvements, the location of a major tenant, Strouds, within the center, and the new signage for the site may all help to increase awareness of the center. The Applicant has indicated that the additional leased space ("Building D") located in such a highly visible spot, would not be difficult to fill. Two prospective tenants, a flower shop and a tuxedo store, are being sought to occupy the new building. The second concern involves the appropriateness of the proposed location of the new building. The Applicant contends that increased visibility from San Ramon Road is crucial to the livelihood of the center. The new building, as proposed, would be a very prominent feature at this corner. Adding to this prominence is the fact that the site is raised approximately 4 to 6 feet above the street level. Staff is concerned that a building at this location may intrude too much into the existing corner, dominating the streetscape. The majority of existing buildings along the west side of San Ramon Road have observed a very generous front yard setback. This is due primarily to the location of an existing fault line running parallel to San Ramon Road, which requires a 50 foot setback on either side. The location of "Building D" is outside of this 50 foot setback. The type of use occupying "Building D", such as a flower shop, or similar use, with bright colorful displays could enhance this corner. A building proposed at this corner location must be designed to compliment the streetscape, as well as provide a visual entrance for the center. It must be oriented toward the existing buildings on site if it is to become an integral part of the center, yet, at the same time, it cannot appear as though it backs onto the street frontage. Staff recommends approval of this project, with the condition that the Applicant redesign "Building D" to minimize intrusion into the existing corner and utilize visual elements such as bay or storefront windows on the east and north elevations, subject to review and approval by the Planning Director. -5- PAGE-5 OF n /1 RECOMMENDATION: FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Questions Staff, Applicant and the public. 4) Close public hearing and deliberate. 5) Adopt Resolutions relating to PA 90-045 Dublin Town & Country Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter.

May 29, 1990 CITY OF DUBLIN P.O. Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 ATTN: Mr. Lawrence Tong Planning Director Subject: Rehabilitation, Retenantization, Expansion Dublin Town and Country Shopping Center The owners of the above shopping center have agreed to spend a substantial sum of money to retenant and revitalize this beautiful but unsuccessful project. The writer has been retained by the ownership to accomplish these tasks. We now need the City of Dublin's cooperation in accomplishing the following: 1. Greater building visibility through the use of heightened roofs and the addition of aesthetically pleasing bell towers. 2. Greater tenant sign visibility with the elimination of excess arbors and signs together with proper canopy pruning of trees. 3. Greater project visibility through the addition of a prominent corner building to be offered for lease to the financial community. 4. Greater customer acceptability by the introduction of lighter, more inviting colors and an all new exciting sign program, together with simplified parking plan. With the owners commitment in hand, I have been able to negotiate and execute a lease with Stroud's Linen Warehouse for 15,000 square feet of the now vacant buildings and construction is under way. We have interest from a furniture store, womens ware store, video store, restaurant, and a formal ware store as additional potential tenants.

Crow Canyon Cleaners 2 . Classic Travel 3 . Three Day Blinds 4 . Enterprise Rent-a-car 5 . Mail and Lock Services The Brewery, Hair Salon, Pool Company and Japanese Restaurant will remain. The tanning salon will terminate . We will be redoing the storefront in order that it will tie back into the overall architectural theme. Finally, we will need to finish the new facades and pad building to complete the retenantization. We will submit new structural calculations and will in all cases respect seismic setback lines . We are satisfied, after continued analysis, that what needs to be accomplished can be accomplished with the City' s cooperation. The benefits to the City will be a successful project for the community once and for all ; revenue that thus far has not been able to be generated; and overall, additional vitality in the downtown Dublin marketplace. For the owners it means a chance to salvage their investment over time, and to generate the funds to keep the project in an attractive well maintained condition. I hope the Staff and Planning Commission can quickly agree . We wish to proceed with the balance of construction immediately. I know it is a very tight time frame, but we simply look upon it as an opportunity for everyone to benefit. Sincerely, , / r-- PHILLI L. SMITH PLS/ts Enc . RECEIVED.
