The City of Dublin is working jointly with the City of Pleasanton on an 1-580 San Ramon Road Freeway Interchange improvements project. The development community may construct the projects for the Eastern Dublin Arterial Street Improvements; the City would proceed with this project only if the developers are ready to build them at this stage. There are improvements scheduled for the 1- 580 and Hacienda Drive; the 1-580 and Tassajara Road; and the 1-580 & Fallon Road Interchanges. The interchange improvements are being done in conjunction with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee Study.

Oravetz asked how the City would acquire the 13.4 million from Contra Costa County. Mr. Ambrose stated the money comes from fees accumulated by Dougherty Valley projects that are underway with Contra Costa County. As the permits are pulled for those homes, the developer will levy the fee and twice a year they will remit those fees to the City with interest. Cm. Oravetz asked if the money has to go towards traffic improvements. Mr. Ambrose responded yes. It is part of the Eastern Dublin and Dougherty Valley Traffic Mitigation Programs. Cm. Oravetz asked if there has been an increase in sales tax generated from Hacienda Crossings. Mr. Ambrose stated that 35% of the sales tax goes to Alameda County, as a condition of approval to annex Eastern Dublin. Cm. Oravetz asked how this year's budget compared to last years. Mr. Ambrose stated it is comparable to last year's budget. The service levels are up, and there are more maintenance costs associated with the new development. Cm. Oravetz asked if the City pays for the maintenance costs on Dublin High's football field. Mr. Ambrose responded no. The City paid for the maintenance cost at one time but exchanged it for the costs of the crossing guards. Cm. Oravetz stated the sports facilities at Dublin High could use extra attention. Mr. Ambrose stated Dublin High has the best softball facilities in the valley. Cm. Oravetz agreed and thanked Mr. Ambrose for his time. Cm. Hughes asked if anyone had any other questions. Hearing none, he asked for a motion. On motion by Cm. Musser, seconded by Cm. Oravetz and with a vote of 4-0-1 with Cm. Jennings absent, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Re~lar Meetiu4 59 June 13, 2000 RESOLUTION NO. 00-26 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN FINDING THAT THE 2000-2005 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) UPDATE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED CITY OF DUBLIN GENERAL PLAN 8.2 PA 00-004 KinderCare, Planned Development (PD) Rezone, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Development Review. KinderCare is proposing to construct an approximate 9,800 square foot day care center with a maximum capacity of 180 children. This project, along with the Rite Aid drug store project, was approved by City Council last April of 1999. KinderCare's zoning approval was contingent upon the Rite Aid project being built. Kindercare is required to re-apply for the zoning, Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review permits because the Rite Aid project was never built. Cm. Hughes asked for the staff report. Mr. Carrington presented the staff report. He stated that the project was approved in 1999 in conjunction with the Rite Aid Pharmacy. The Rite Aid project went away and KinderCare had to reapply for approval. For the record he read a correction to condition 38, along the frontage of the Kindercare site, applicant/developer shall dedicate to the public for roadway purposes an area with a width often feet along the north side of Amador Valley Boulevard to create an ultimate right-of-way width of 46 feet. He stated that all language beyond that point would be deleted. Kindercare is proposing to construct a 9,824 square foot day care center with a maximum capacity of 180 children. The project, along with the Rite Aid drug store project was approved by City Council in April of 1999 and modified in July of 1999. However, KinderCare's zoning approval was contingent upon the Rite Aid project being built. Since the Rite Aid project was never built, KinderCare is required to re-apply for the PD Rezone, Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review permits. The KinderCare structure and capacity are unchanged. The hours of operation are 6:15 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. In the absence of Rite Aid, the project is providing 40 parking spaces and is taking access from Amador Valley Boulevard. The playground area will not be occupied until 8:00 a.m. under normal conditions and only individual age groups wilt be allowed on the playground at any given time. The play facility will be set back approximately 60 feet from the nearest residential unit. Between that unit and the play facility, there will be a roadway, a parking aisle, a 3-foot wide landscape area, and an 8-foot high concrete block wall (as required by a Condition of Approval), which will help reduce noise impacts. KinderCare is also conditioned to control all project-related activities and noise in the parking lot, especially the playground, so as not to create a nuisance to the adjacent residential community. KinderCare commissioned Bunton and Associates to conduct a noise study to determine noise levels for a typical KinderCare Playground area. The study indicated that the decibel level was in a non-offensive range. The project, as conditioned, including the Planned Development Rezone and Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan complies with the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses (i.e. retail commercial and residential), and with transportation and service facilities in the vicinity. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take testimony from the Applicant and the public; question Staff, the Applicant and the public; close the public hearing and deliberate and Adopt F,i~ihih~ commission Re, hr ~4eetln,~ 60 June 13, 2000 resolutions recommending City Council approval of the PD Rezone and Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review. Cm. Hughes stated that the City Council required the applicants to contribute a total of $10,000 into an escrow account to be used by the Kildara Homeowners Association for purposes of mitigating any traffic impacts the project may cause within the Kildara Community. Mr. Carrington stated that Rite Aid and KinderCare were required to contribute $5,000 each. KinderCare is only required to contribute $5,000. Cm. Musser stated that he reviewed tile samples. He asked where the tiles would be located on the building. Mr. Carrington stated they are accent tiles. The Applicant would be able to answer that questions better. Cm. Johnson asked if the road will connect from San Ramon Road on the north side of building, past the Sleep Center and the Dublin Fishery, and enter their property. Mr. Carrington stated to his understanding it appears to be a common driveway to access the Kildara property from the north side. Cm. Johnson asked if the City has received any complaints regarding noise from the Montissori School. Mr. Carrington stated none he is aware of. Cm. Oravetz asked when the area in front of the property would be improved. Mr. Carrington stated there will be a small transition from the KinderCare improvements to the existing improvements. The area in front of the property will be improved at a later date. A 5-foot wide public sidewalk will be constructed on the north side to match the existing sidewalk on the south side. The roadway widening is only required across the frontage of the KinderCare site; widening for the frontage of the adjacent vacant parcel immediately to the east will be required when that parcel develops. Cm. Oravetz asked who is responsible for maintenance. Mr. Carrington stated the owner is responsible. Cm. Oravetz stated that the decibel level from the noise study is a non offensive range. He asked what a non offensive range would be. Mr. Carrington stated it is less that 60 decibels external which is the standard for outdoor noise. It is based on the General Plan which the City Council determined. Cm. Hughes asked if anyone had any other questions for Staff. Hearing none, he asked if the Applicant was available. Mike Majors, Applicant stated it has been a pleasure to work with the City and are in agreement with the ~{n~ Commission Re~lar Meetin,~ 61 June 13, 2000 Conditons of Approval. He clarified that condition 13 is not exaclty correct. It states the children are met at the front door by an employee and Kindercare has changed that policy. They prefer that the parents bring the children inside the facility. Mr. Carrington stated the wording for Condition 13 can be modified. Mr. Majors stated that the access road to the Fishery will also be used to Kildara's parking spaces. Cm. Johnson asked if Kildara will pave up to the Fishery's parking lot. Mr. Majors responded yes. They will pave to the existing asphalt and repave areas that need it. Mr. Carrington stated the Applicant has expressed an interest to move the parking spaces further north. KinderCare will be submitting a revised plot plan which will go to City Council for approval. Cm. Hughes went through the speakers slips submitted from the public. Nina Wixson, Kildara resident stated that she is opposed to the project due to increased traffic, congestion, and noise impacts. Traffic is a major concern and the project will not be a positive impact to the area. She is concerned with the kids biking through the area. She would like the main access to KinderCare be from San Ramon Road. Cm. Oravetz asked Ms. Wixon if she is speaking on behalf of Kildara's Home Owners Association. Ms. Wixon stated she is on the board of directors for Kildara. Cm. Hughes asked if the Home Owners Association developed a plan to use the money contributed to Kildara from KinderCare. Ms. Wixon stated that Kildara got estimates for a security gate but the Council was opposed to it. Cm. Hughes asked Staff if installing security gates requires approval from the Council. Mr. Peabody responded yes. Cm. Hughes asked what will the Homeowners Association do with the $5,000 they are requesting. Ms. Wixon said they are working on a visual barrier for the front of the Kildara property. It would suggest that Kildara is private property in a way that signs don't. Cm. Hughes asked the estimated costs for a visual barrier. Ms. Wixon stated they have not gone forward with a visual barrier or estimates. Cm. Johnson asked what type of signage does Kildara currently have. Ms. Wixon responded they installed signs that state: No Through Traffic; Private Property and the City installed a sign which states No Through Access. Re, far Meef. in~ 62 June 13, 2000 Cm. Oravetz asked if the signs help with the problem. Ms. Wixon responded no. Cm. Johnson stated the signs are not that visual. Heather Taylor, 7422 Tehan Court, stated that a soundwall only buffers the noise for the homes directly behind it. She does not want a wall that is not aesthecally pleasing and for KinderCare to install trees around the area. Ms. Taylor asked ifKildara will pay for any damages caused from the dirt during construction. She stated that the playground should be moved to the front of the property. Josephine DeStephano, 7423 Tehan Court stated she is opposed to the project. The sound wall is right near her bedroom and she does not want 180 kids in her bedroom. She asked if the playground could be moved away from her bedroom. She stated that the sound wall will cause her to lose her view. John Nickandros, 19640 Center Street, Castro Valley stated that he is in favor of the project. He stated that the Kildara property owners are aware that this parcel is zoned commercial. The roadway was already established going through the Kildara property. The KinderCare project would be a good transition between commercial and residential. He stated that ifa grocery store or other commercial use went in, it would have more traffic, delivery trucks and would be open on the weekends. Fred Nickandros 17426 Columbia Drive, Casto Valley, stated that he is also in favor of the project. He stated that there is a need for childcare in the area. KinderCare is not open on weekeends which makes them a good neighbor. The project has been under review for the past year and the best points have been brought forward. This project is as good as it gets and he urged for the Planning Commission's approval. Cm. Oravetz stated that Dublin had that mentality of"as good as it gets" years ago and that is the reason for all the gas stations and fast food restaurants. The Planning Commission and City Council are asking for projects better than "as good as it gets". Mr. Nichandros stated he is in agreement with Cm. Oravetz. He clarified that a lot of staff time has gone into the project and every good point has been brought forward. Sam Adrian, 7429 Tehan Court stated that the sign "Not a Through Street," has been removed. Cm. Hughes stated that the representative from the Homeowners Association could address that issue. He asked if anyone had any other questions or comments. Hearing none he closed the public hearing. Cm. Oravetz had a question for the Applicant. Cm. Hughes reopened the public hearing. Cm. Oravetz asked if any other commercial areas were looked at. Jerry Stiver, Real Estate Manager responded yes. They looked at other areas but needed 50,000 sq ft. to ~P-l~in3 commission 63 June 13, 20o0 accommodate the building and play areas. Cm. Oravetz asked the locations of other KinderCare facilities. Mr. Stiver responded Pleasanton and Livermore. Cm. Oravetz asked how close the Pleasanton and Livermore facilities are from a residential area. Mr. Stiver stated the Pleasanton location is closer to residential than the proposed Dublin site. The Livermore facility is adjacent to the freeway and comparible to the proposed site. Cm. Oravetz indicated he has a problem with location. It will intrude on the Kildara residents quality of life with 180 children that close to their property. Cm. Johnson stated that there won't be a noise issue. The kids will be in the play areas at certain times of the day. He stated that there hasn't been any complaints on noise from the Montissori School. Cm. Oravetz said Montissori School only has 45 children. Cm. Johnson said all 45 children are out at the same time. He does not feel there will be a traffic problem and it will be an excellent business to have in the community. Cm. Musser stated he voted in favor of the project when it came before the Commission previously. There are a lot heavier commercial uses that could be developed on the site. He stated that it is a good use for this particular location. He agrees with Cm. Johnson that the project would not have a significant noise issue. The majority of daycares in Dublin are located in a residential neighborhood. He indicated that the trees were part of the original conditions of approval and should be part of the current conditions. Cm. Johnson asked if the $5,000 contribution to Kildara is required by a development proposing a project on the front of the parcel. Mr. Carrington responded yes. Cm. Oravetz stated that most da.ycares in Dublin are for 6 or less children. KinderCare is for 180 children. He stated that the location isn't suitable for a daycare and it will cause an increase in traffic. Cm. Musser disagreed with Cm. Oravetz. He stated that a heavier commercial use would have an increase in traffic, longer hours and delivery trucks arriving at various hours of the day and night. Cm. Johnson suggested for KinderCare to talk to their clients about the concerns the Kildara residents have expressed. Cm. Oravetz suggested changing the condition of approval to allow the Kildara residents to receive a $10,000 contribution from KinderCare. Cm. Hughes stated that initially he felt the contribution should be $10,000 but the Kildara residents have not indicated how the money would be effectively used to mitigate anything. June 13,. Re~lar Meetind~ Cm. Hughes closed the public hearing and asked for a motion. On motion by Cm. Johnson, seconded by Cm. Musser and with a vote of 3-1-1 with Cm. Oravetz opposed and Cm. Jennings absent, the Planning Commission adopted RESOLUTION NO. 00-27 RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DAY CARE CENTER AND TO WAIVE A PORTION OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR THE KINDERCARE PROJECT, PA 00-004 RESOLUTION NO. 00-28 RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) REZONE / DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PA 00-004 KINDERCARE LOCATED AT 7360 SAN RAMON ROAD (APNs 941-40-3-2; 941-40-2-3 and 941-40-2-7) Cm. Hughes called a 5-minute recess. Cm. Hughes called the meeting back to order at 8:40. 8.3 Address Changes for California Brookside Subdivision off Central Avenue. A re-numbering problem has occurred as a result of street addresses off Mangrove Drive rather than Central Parkway in the Kanfman & Broad Brookside Development. The developer, Kaufman & Broad changed access to a portion of that development from Mangrove to Central Parkway. This change occurred after the existing number sequence was approved by City Staff. As a result of these inconsistencies, emergency responses to that portion of California Brookside development have been delayed. Cm. Hughes asked for the staff report. George Thomas, Building Official presented the staff report. He explained that a re-numbering problem occurred as a result of numbering street addresses off Mangrove Drive rather than Central Parkway in the Kaufmann & Broad Brookside development. The developer, Kaufman and Broad, changed access to a part of that development from Mangrove to Central Parkway. This change occurred after the existing number sequence was approved by City Staff: The existing addresses are not sequential along Central Parkway, particularly, as a result of these inconsistencies the Police Department response for back up was delayed due to the officer not being able to locate an address in this particular area. In October 1999, Fire Department emergency response was delayed because an engine company could not locate a similar address. Staff felt it important to clean up the numbering system in this area. To resolve these P~annin~ CommBsion Redlular Meet~ndl 65 June 13; 2000 inconsistencies, Staff held a Public Meeting on March 30, 2000, and invited representatives of the California Brookside Home Owners Association and all property owners to discuss the issue of address changes. No objections to possible address changes were received. Staff believes that these address changes are essential for fire, police and delivery services for these affected addresses. The affected residents will be given new addresses. The proposed new numbers have been referred to the Post Office and no negative responses have been received. Staff recommends the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing and adopt the resolution recommending the Council approve address changes for Central Parkway number sequence versus Mangrove Drive addresses. Cm. Hughes asked if anyone had any questions. Susan Mills, 4864 Central Parkway stated that she is in favor of changing her address. She stated that when she has guests over she has to stand outside to flag them down because it is difficult to locate her house. Cm. Musser asked if Kaufman and Broad could be held accountable for the problem. Mr. Peabody said the mistake was made between the tentative map and the final map. The final map has been approved and Kaufman and Broad does not have any further responsibility with this issue. Tustin Allison, 4720 Central Parkway stated that he is in favor of the address change. Them was an incident with a few firemen arriving at his house, which scared and frustrated him because they could not find his house. Fortunately, the incident was not an emergency. He asked how the situation occurred. He stated that he did not receive a notice for the March 30th public meeting that the Building Official held and many of his neighbors did not receive it as well. Attachment 3 of the staff report indicates posting a public notice in conspicuous places along his street, which did not occur. The changes and cost am an inconvenience to the property owners. The associated costs should come down on Kaufman and Broad. Cm. Hughes stated that the Commission can not require Kaufman and Broad to pay for the costs but can help resolve the problem. Mr. Allison asked if Staff could contact Kaufman and Broad and suggest they correct the issue. Cm. Hughes asked if anyone else had any questions. Hearing none, he closed the public hearing. On motion by Cm. Musser, seconded by Cm. Oravetz and with a vote of 4-0-1 with Cm. Jennings absent, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted RESOLUTION NO. 00-29 RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CHANGE ADDRESSES AT THE CALIFORNIA BROOKSIDE SUBDIVISION OFF CENTRAL AVENUE 8.4 PA 99-048 Nissan Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review Nissan is proposing to construct an approximate 23,000 square feet new automobile sales facility. The new facility would be used for sales, service, storage, and administrative uses. Kevlar Meetin~ 66 June 13, 2000 Cm. Hughes asked for the staff report. Andy Byde, Associate Planner presented the staff report. The Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review approval to establish a new 23,000 square foot auto dealer located at 6215 Scarlett Drive. The new dealership would contain a 2,300 square foot showroom, 9,100 square feet for office and part sales space, and 9,300 square feet for vehicle service. The applicant has proposed 102 parking spaces, 56 of which are tandem parking spaces and 46 standard parking spaces. The project is located along Scarlett Drive, the portion of which is currently unimproved. Currently Scarlett Drive connects Dublin Boulevard with Scarlett Court along the west side of Chabot Canal. Ultimately, Scarlett Drive will be constructed to provide two lanes of traffic on each side of Chabot Canal. Southbound traffic will be located on the west side of Chabot Canal and northbound traffic will be located on the east side of Chabot Canal. The dealership will be located in close proximity to 1-580. It is not anticipated that the dealership will have noise impacts on any adjacent uses. The dealership will operate seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and will provide automobile sales, service and parts. Conditions of approval ensure that the Applicant/Developer is responsible for ensuring that noise from the dealership is not audible at the property line. Cm. Oravetz asked if traffic signal at the intersection of Scarlett Drive and Scarlett Court. Mr. Byde stated the current traffic conditions do not warrant a traffic signal at that location. He showed the Commission a Power Point presentation of the site plan, architecture, parking and landscaping features of the project. He stated that Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the Resolution recommending the Planning Commission adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and adopt the Resolution recommending the Planning Commission approval the Site Development Review and Conditional Use Permit to establish new 23,000 square foot auto dealer. Cm. Musser asked if the area near the creek channel would be landscaped. Mr. Byde stated there is a condition of approval, which requires landscaping between the edge of the pavement and the top of the bank. Cm. Musser stated the creek channel needs maintenance. Mr. Peabody stated the creek channel belongs to Alameda County Zone 7. Cm. Oravetz asked ifa left turn lane could be installed to access the property from Scarlett Drive. Mr. Byde stated it would require a bridge over the Chabot Canal with approval from the Department of Fish and Game. Cm. Hughes asked if there were any other questions. He asked if the applicant was available. Chuck Chattfield, Bay Area Automotive Properties, stated they are the Applicant for the project. They originally submitted a Volkswagen proposal but Volkswagen has very strict guidelines that could not be worked out. Bay Area Automotive took over Nissan and will move them from their Scarlett Court site to this location. He stated that it has been a pleasure to work with the Staff and is available to answer any questions. ~d~ ¢orr/missio~/ 67 Ja~le 13, 2000 R.e~ular Meettnll Cm.
