A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF PA 92-067 CITY OF DUBLIN ZONE CHANGE FROM THE
M-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO THE C-2, GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
AND THE C-O, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE DISTRICT IN THE VICINITY OF VILLAGE
PARKWAY AND CLARK AVENUE
WHEREAS, an application (PA 92-050) was submitted requesting a
zone change from the M-1, Light Industrial District to the C-O,
Administrative Office District, for the parcel located at 6300-6370
Village Parkway (APN 941-1401-8); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Department evaluated eight contiguous
parcels, including the subject site (APN 941-1401-8, 9, 10, 16, 17,
18, 12, & 3), along Village Parkway and Clark Avenue, south of Dublin
Boulevard, and the gas station parcel located at 6602 Village Parkway
(APN 941-1401-19) all zoned M-1, Light Industrial District and found
that the primary use for the eight parcels is office, with one parcel
operating as a research and development facility, and that the gas
station parcel zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan land use
designation for the site, which is Retail/Office; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance does not permit office use as a
primary use within the M-1, Light Industrial District; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 1992, the Planning Commission approved a
zone change initiation for the eight contiguous parcels from the M-1,
Light Industrial District to the C-O, Administrative Office District,
and for the one gas station parcel from the M-1, Light Industrial
District to the C-2, General Commercial District, to allow the
continued operation of the existing primary office uses and to
maintain consistency with the adjacent downtown commercial uses and
zoning designations, and the General Plan land use designations for
the parcels; and
WHEREAS, a draft ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to
change the zoning designation of the subject parcels from the M-1,
Light Industrial District to the C-O, Administrative Office District
and the C-2, General Commercial District in the vicinity of Clark
Avenue and Village Parkway has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on
said application on October 19, 1992; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and a
Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project as it will not
have a significant effect on the environment; and

WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending the Planning
Commission recommend City Council approval of said draft ordinance;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said
reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth; and
WHEREAS, Howard Heller of Kin Properties, Inc., representing the
property owners of the National Food Laboratory parcel (941-1401-12)
submitted a letter dated October 13, 1992, objecting to the proposed
rezoning of the subject property; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission felt the permitted uses provided
under the M-1, Light Industrial District were more appropriate for the
National Food Laboratory parcel (941-1401-12) and removed said parcel
from the proposed rezoning request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning
Commission does hereby find that:
A. Rezoning the existing M-1, Light Industrial District zoned
parcels along Village Parkway and Clark Avenue, south of
Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-1401-8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, & 3) to
the C-O, Administrative Office District would provide more
logical use of the land; continued operation of existing
primary office uses in a more appropriate zoning district;
and consistency with the adjacent downtown general
commercial, retail and office uses and zoning designations;
and
B. Rezoning the parcel located at 6602 Village Parkway (APN
941-1401-19) to the C-2, General Commercial District would
eliminate a spot zoned parcel and would be more consistent
with the General Plan land use designation for the site,
which is Retail/Office.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby recommend that the City Council approve PA 92-067 City of
Dublin Zone Change for seven contiguous parcels (APN 941-1401-8, 9,
10, 16, 17, 18, & 3) located along Village Parkway and Clark Avenue
south of Dublin Boulevard, from the M-1, Light Industrial District to
the C-0, Administrative Office District, and a parcel located at 6602
Village Parkway (APN 941-1401-19), from the M-1, Light Industrial
District to the C-2, General Commercial District.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 19th day of October, 1992.
