WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held public hearings on said
applications on May 4, 1987, and May 18, 1987; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearings was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, an Initial Study of Environmental Significance was

WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance has
been prepared and adopted for this project (Planning Commission Resolution
No. 87 - 035); and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report and a Supplemental Staff Report were
submitted recommending denial of the Variance application; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard and considered all said
reports, recommendations and testimony as hereinabove set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission
does hereby find that:
A) There are no special circumstances pertaining to the size, shape, topo-
graphy, location or surroundings, applicable to the subject property which
would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the
vicinity under the identical zoning classification, in that the property,
identified as APN 941-205-21, is commensurate with other property in the
vicinity under the identical zoning classification.
B) The granting of the Variance requests will constitute a grant of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the
vicinity and zone, in that the observance of the established standards from
the M-1 Distict for the minimum lot size, minimum median lot width, and
minimum front, rear and side yards would not adversely impact the
developability of the subject property. No special circumstances peculiar
to this subject property exist relating to size, shape or topography.
-1-
C) The granting of this Variance application may be detrimental to persons or
property in the neighborhood or to the public welfare, in that establish-
ment of substandard parcels may ultimately lead to the development of
marginal land uses inconsistent with the intent of the property's
underlying zoning designation.
NOV, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission
denies PA 87-019.4, Variance request.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of May, 1987.
