Section 8.100.060 and incorporate the findings for the Scarlett Court Overlay Zoning District pursuant to
DMC Section 8.34.070:
A. The proposed use and related structures is compatible with other land uses, transportation and
service facilities in the vicinity because : 1) the project is located within an existing parcel that is
developed with storage related uses, and the project will be compatible with the surrounding area
because the development is designed with respect to the adjacent properties which are designated
for light industrial uses; 3) the proposed use would be located within an existing industrial lot; 4)
the project site is accessible from a private service road and provides sufficient vehicle access and
parking; and 5) the Conditions of Approval shall limit the number of cars that can be stored on site
to 165, restrict noise and nuisance around the project site, ensure ongoing compliance with parking
standards, and ensure ongoing compatibility with the surrounding uses.
B. It will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be
detrimental to public health, safety and welfare because: 1) all activities associated with the
proposed use will take place on an existing lot; 2) the project will conform to all applicable Dublin
Municipal Code regulations, State Building and Safety Code, and all other applicable local, sate,
and federal regulations; and 3) the Conditions of Approval ensure ongoing compatibility with the
project site surroundings.
C. It will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because: 1) the project is
located on a site developed for industrial uses; 2) the proposed use is consistent with surrounding
uses as well as other use types allowed in the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district; and 3) the
Conditions of Approval shall regulate activities to minimize the risk of nuisance to existing and
surrounding businesses.
D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services
to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be determinantal to the public
health, safety, and welfare because: the proposed use is located within an existing lot that is served
by existing public utilities, services, and infrastructure.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use and related
structures being proposed because: 1) the project is located on a site that is developed with
industrial uses; 2) the proposed use is consistent with other surrounding uses; and 3) the proposed
use is permitted in the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district, subject to the approval of a Conditional
Use Permit by the Planning Commission.
F. It will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or performance
standards established for the zoning district in which it is located because: 1) the proposed used is
located in the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district regulated by the Dublin Municipal Code Chapter
8.12, which conditionally permits an automobile/vehicle storage lot; 2) all activities associated with
the use would occur within the designated lease area; 3) the storage lot will be fenced off from the
adjacent storage use on site, and therefore potential adverse impacts on adjacent uses and
Reso. No. 26-03, Item 6.1, Adopted 04/14/2026 Page 3 of 9
properties are not expected; and 4) the proposed use will occupy the easterly portion of an existing
industrial lot on a fully developed site.
G. It is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and with any applicable Specific Plans and design
guidelines because: the General Plan land use designation is Business Park/Indu strial and Outdoor
Storage, which allows non-retail businesses that do not involve heavy trucking or generate
nuisances due to emissions or noise; 2) the design of the parking lot is consistent with the adopted
Scarlett Court Design Guidelines because the outdoor vehicle storage area shall be located behind
an existing building away from the views of neighboring residential parcels; 3) pursuant to Dublin
Municipal Code Section 8.12.050 (Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Land Uses) an
automobile/vehicle storage lot is a conditionally permitted land use in the M-1 Light Industrial
Zoning District; and 4) the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance
in that an automobile/vehicle storage lot is compatible with the surrounding industrial uses, and it
meets all the development regulations and performance standards established for the zoning
district in which it is located.
