A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
DENYING ESTABLISHMENT OF AN AUTO VEHICLES SALES BUSINESS CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT LOCATED AT 6398 DOUGHERTY ROAD, SUITES 39 AND 40, APN 941-0205-25 FOR
PA 03-013
WHEREAS, the Applicants, Mr. Corey Paparelli and Mr. Thomas Ortzow, have requested a
Conditional Use Permit to establish an Automobile/Vehicle Sales establishment located at 6398 Dougherty
Road, Suites 39 and 40, APN 941-0205-025; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said application on
June 24, 2003; and
WHEREAS, the site design and parking configuration were reviewed for provision of adequate client
and employee parking; and
WHEREAS, the site design and parking configuration were reviewed for provision of adequate
handicapped parking spaces, truck loading area, and landscaping pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines
and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impact and
that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), according to Section 15301, Class 1; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and
testimony herein above set forth and used its independent judgment to make a decision; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is not appropriate for the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does find that
consistent with the standards and intent of the Purposes of the Planned Development District, the
requirements of Conditional Use Permits and the requirements of Chapters 8.72 and 8.76 of the Zoning
Ordinance, the proposed Auto Vehicle Sales is not compatible with other land uses, transportation and
service facilities in the vicinity; and the site is not physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the
use and related structures being proposed because of the following findings:
a. The proposed use would intensify the parking demand on the site beyond that which is
provided for the business. Pursuant to Section 8.76.080 of the Zoning Ordinance, the new
Auto Sales Use would require seven (7) parking spaces and the business' pro rata share is five
(5) parking spaces.
b. The proposed outdoor vehicle display area would further reduce parking available to clients
and employees.
The site does not provide a truck loading area or adequate handicapped parking and a redesign
of the parking would further remove parking spaces for clients and employees.
Pursuant to Section 8.72.030, the site does not provide an adequate landscaping buffer
between the business and the adjacent residential apartment complex. In addition, the site does
not include tree wells in the parking lot to provide screening.
e. The project design is not compatible with new land use development and public
improvements along Dougherty Road.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby deny PA
03-013 Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of an Automobile/Vehicle Sales use within an
approximately 2,500 square foot existing lease space located at 6398 Dougherty Road, Suites 39 and 40,
APN 941-0205-25.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 24th day of June 2003.
