WHEREAS, the Applicant, pastor Michael Connolly has requested a 1-year extension to an
established church within an existing and improved tenant space, located within the shopping center known
as the Dublin Square. The religious facility is located within a 15,000 square foot tenant space located at
11825 Dublin Boulevard, in a C- 1 Retail Commercial Zoning District; and
WHEREAS the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said application on
April 13, 2004; 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(a), Class 1; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and
testimony herein above set forth and used his independent judgment to make a decision; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is appropriate for the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does find
that:
The proposed use is and related structures are compatible with other land uses, transportation and
service facilities in the vicinity as it has been operating at the site for two years without demonstrating
any adverse effects on neighboring uses in the surrounding area. Additionally, it has been
conditioned to reduce any adverse effects, is in an existing commercial building fully improved for
the use, and is temporary in nature.
Bo
The use will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or
be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare because the proposed use is temporary in
nature and currently in operation and has had no recognizable negative impacts, and the proposed use
will serve a public need by providing a semi-public community service to residents.
The use, under all circumstances and conditions of this permit, will not be injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood because the site is adjacent to other commercial uses that
normally operate at times other than the proposed use, will be operating only at specified times, and is
temporary in nature.
Do
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 detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare with implementation of the existing and the proposed conditions. The site is
completely improved and serviced by all appropriate utilities and infrastructure.
Eo
The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and related
structures being proposed as it is operating within an improved tenant space in an existing shopping
center and is compatible with the other uses in the center.
The approval of this Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and the
Retail/Office Commercial land use designation on the site.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby approve
PA 04-002 Conditional Use Permit Extension to allow a church continue operations for a 1-year period
