California State Law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at its June 10, 2003, meeting considered all written and
oral testimony submitted at the public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the amendment is consistent with the City of Dublin General Plan because it relates
to residential uses in areas designated for residential land use; and

certainty that there is no possibility that such amendments would have a significant effect on the
environment (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)), and because the proposed amendments relating to
second units are further exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(1).

recommend that the City Council find that the proposed amendment to Chapter 8.12, Zoning Districts and
Permitted Uses of Land; and, Chapter 8.64, Home Occupations; Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking And
Loading Regulations; and, Chapter 8.80, Second Unit Regulations (PA 03-020), have no possibility for a
significant effect on the environment [CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)], that the proposed
amendments relating to second units are further exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(1), and
that the amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan, and does
