WHEREAS, General Motors Argonaut Holdings, Inc. has requested approval of a Planned

changes are proposed to Parcel C at this time; and
WHEREAS, Applicant/Developer has submitted a complete application for a Planned
Development Rezone, including a Development Plan (Exhibits A-1 & A-2 to the Ordinance) as required
by Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance which meets the requirements of said section, which is available
and on file in the Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, a development agreement was approved by the City Council on May 4, 1999; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed
project is within the scope of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin General
Plan Amendment and Specific Plan which was certified by the City Council by Resolution No. 51-93,
and the Addenda dated May 4, 1993, and August 22, 1994 (the "EIR"), and that no additional
significant impacts are expected and no new mitigation measures are needed for site-specific
environmental effects, as determined by an Initial Study prepared at the time of PA98-007; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said applications on April 25,
2000; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the Planning Commission recommending approval
of the project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning
Commission does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed
Planned Development Rezone:
1. The Planned Development Rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and
purpose of the Prezoning and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (as modified) which designates this area as
Planned Development / General Commercial (PD/C-2), in that the project would result in development
with the land uses allowed by said designation, and will contribute towards implementation of said Plan;
and
2. The Planned Development Rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and
purpose of the PD District Overlay Zone of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planned Development Rezone
will be appropriate for the subject property in terms of providing land use provisions which set forth the
purpose and applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, range of permitted and conditionally
permitted uses, and Development Standards which will be compatible with existing and proposed
residential, business, and public uses in the immediate vicinity; and
3. The Planned Development Rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and
purpose of the PD District Overlay Zone of the Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information
required by Section 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A
through H, of the Zoning Ordinance; and
4. The Planned Development Rezone will provide an environment that will enhance
development of the Specific Plan Area; and
5. The Planned Development Rezone will provide efficient use of the land pursuant to the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan that includes that preservation of significant open areas and natural and
topographic landscape features along Tassajara Creek with minimum alteration of natural land forms; and
6. The Planned Development Rezone will not have a substantial adverse effect on health or
safety or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public
improvement as all applicable regulations will be satisfied; and
7. The Planned Development Rezone will not overburden public services as all agencies must
commit to the availability of public services prior to the issuance of building permits as required by the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and mitigation measures; and
8. The Planned Development Rezone and accompanying Site Development Review, will
create an attractive, efficient, and safe environment; and
9. The Planned Development Rezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience, and
general welfare; and
10. The Planned Development Rezone and accompanying Site Development Review will be
compatible with and enhance the general development of the area; and
11. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program will apply to the
Project, along with the conditions made a part of project approval, as the reporting and monitoring
program required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 for the Project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that the City Council approve a Planned Development Rezone and Development Plan for the
General Motors Automall (PA 00-002), (Exhibits A-1 and A-2 to the Ordinance) which constitute
regulations for the use, improvement, and maintenance of the property. Except as specifically identified
otherwise in the approved Development Plan, development and operation of land use activities within this
Rezone shall be subject to the current City of Dublin Zoning Code.
