respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, this application has been reviewed in accordance with the

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said
reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission finds:
a) The use of the subject tenant space as a Church facility will serve the
public need.
b) The uses will be properly related to other land uses, and transportation
and service facilities in the vicinity, as the proposed uses will be
compatible to said land uses, and transportation and services facilities
in the immediate vicinity.

persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in
the neighborhood, as all applicable regulations will be met.

mance standards established for the district in which they are to be
located.
e) All provisions of Section 8-95.0 through 8-95.8 Site Development Review,

f) Consistent with Section 8-95.0, this project will promote orderly,

tions on development; stabilize land values and investments; and promote
the general welfare by preventing establishment of uses or erection of

clauses or performance standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and
which are not consistent with their environmental setting.

backs, height, public safety and similar elements have been designed to
provide a desirable environment for the development.
i) General architectural considerations as modified by the Conditions of
Approval, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building
materials and colors, screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior
lighting, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project in
order to insure compatibility of this development with its design concept
and the character of adjacent buildings and uses.
j) General project landscaping provisions for irrigation, maintenance and
protection of landscaped areas and similar elements have been considered
to insure visual relief to complement buildings and structures and to
provide an attractive environment to the public.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Unless stated otherwise, all Conditions of Approval shall be complied with
prior to issuance of building or the establishment of the proposed land use
activity, and shall be subject to Planning Department review and approval.
1. Development shall be generally as shown on the site plan, floor plan and
building elevations submitted with the application and as described by the
Applicant's Written Statement, collectively dated received by the Dublin
Planning Department on October 30, 1986.
2. The days and hours of general assembly use of the subject building shall be
limited to 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight on weekdays and unlimited hours of use
on Saturdays and Sundays. Use of the subject building during typical workday
hours for the Monday through Friday work week shall be limited to occupancy by
a maximum of 4 Church staff members and/or volunteers and for general assembly
occupancies for special Church related events, such as occasional funeral
services and similar unforeseeable events (unless amended through the process
outlined in Condition #3 below). General assembly occupancies for the Church
shall be limited to a seating capacity which reflects the City's numerical
parking requirements as calculated by the Planning Director. If additional
parking is provided, or a numerical parking Variance is granted, a
corresponding adjustment to the maximum general assembly seating capacity may
be made by adjusting the maximum assembly seating count by four seats for every
parking space added. In no case shall the general assembly occupancy at this
site exceed 176.
3. Any changes in the days and hours of general assembly use cited in
Condition #2 above of the subject building shall be subject to review and
approval by the Planning Director as regards type of function, day(s) and hours
of function, and maximum attendance level. The listing may be supplemented
and/or modified upon 30-day written notice by the Applicant, with the Planning
Director maintaining review and approval authority over any new or modified
function(s). In no case shall the mixture of uses, together with the
days/hours of such uses, established within the subject building exceed the
City's numerical parking requirement for the site as calculated by the Planning
Director.

School. Said signage shall be subject to review and approval by the Dublin
Planning Department.

occupying the J. R. Cronin School facility. On-site parking requirements shall
be met by applying a Joint Use Parking Scenario as provided for by Section 8-
63.14 of the Zoning Ordinance (see Condition #10). The additional on-site
parking supplied shall generally reflect the parking layout design labeled
Staff Parking Study - November, 1986, which locates new parking within the

on-site parking for the life of uses concerned, and shall be subject to review
and approval by the Planning Driector and City Attorney prior to recordation.
The contract shall identify the number of parking spaces jointly required for
the subject land use activities and shall detail the method applied to reduce
the collective parking requirement for the site (as established by application
of Section 8-63.14 of the Zoning Ordinance).

Planning Department and local disposal agency to establish an acceptable work
schedule (establishing scope of work and timeline for completion of work) for
upgrading the current means of on-site garbage containment and disposal.
12. The Applicant, in conjunction with the Property Owner, shall work with the
City Engineer to establish an acceptable work schedule (establishing scope of
work and time-line for completion of work) for the correction of deficiencies
in the existing frontage improvements along the J. R. Cronin School facility.

hazard or nuisance.
