A RESOLUTION OF THE DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION DENYING PA 87-174 GOODWILL
INDUSTRIES DONATION STATION - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A 25-FOOT LONG
TRUCK TRAILER LOCATED IN THE HOWARD JOHNSON'S HOTEL SITE PARKING LOT
AT 6680 REGIONAL STREET
WHEREAS, Anthony Cossette, representing Goodwill Industries, filed
an application for a Conditional Use Permit to locate a 25-foot long truck
trailer for a donation station in the Howard Johnson's Hotel site located at
6680 Regional Street; and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and has been found to be
categorically exempt; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said
application on January 18, 1988; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending the application
be denied; and
WHEREAS, on January 18, 1988, after hearing and considering all
said reports, recommendations, and testimony as hereinabove set forth, the
Planning Commission denied PA 87-174 Goodwill Industries Conditional Use Permit
request to operate a Goodwill donation station in the parking lot of the Howard
Johnson Hotel site located at 6680 Regional Street; and
WHEREAS, on January 27, 1988, Goodwill Industries appealed the
Planning Commission's January 18, 1988 action; and
WHEREAS, on February 22, 1988, the City Council held a public
hearing to consider said appeal; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said Public Hearing was given as required
by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council heard and considered all reports,
recommendation and testimony as hereinabove set forth; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does
hereby find:
The use is not required by the public need at the proposed location in
that a Goodwill Donation Station would serve the public more
appropriately on an industrial or retail commercial site, more so than on
a site that contains a hotel and restaurant.
The use is inappropriate for the site in that a Goodwill Donation Station
does not properly relate to the hotel and restaurant activities on the
subject property.
The use, if permitted under all circumstances and conditions of this
particular case, would materially affect adversely the health or safety
of persons residing or working in the vicinity, would be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, would be injurious to property or
improvements in the area, all because the proposed land use mix would be
inappropriate for the site.
The use will be contrary to the specific intent, clause or performance
standards of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan in that:
The project does not improve the visual appearance of the downtown
area.
The project does not provide landscaping as a buffer nor as an
attractive urban design feature.
The project does not improve relationships between land uses in the
area.
Retail, hotel and commercial recreational land uses are encouraged
in Zone 2 of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan. The proposed
donation station does not fit into either of these land use
categories.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby
uphold the Planning Commission's action denying PA 87-174, Goodwill Industries
Conditional Use Permit request to operate a Goodwill donation station in the
parking lot of the Howard Johnson Hotel site located at 6680 Regional Street.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of February, 1988.
