WHEREAS, the proposed use of Vehicle Service is permitted in the M-I (Light Industrial)

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 the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301; and
WHEREAS, the Conditions of Approval proposed will limit or eliminate any negative impacts
the Automobile Service establishment could have on surrounding businesses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said application

WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission
application be conditionally approved; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations
and testimony hereinabove set forth and used their independent judgment to make a decision.
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:
A. The proposed use and related structure is compatible with other land uses, transportation and
service facilities in the vicinity, because it is in an existing industrial and commercial building
with similar surrounding uses.
B. The proposed 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
creates no recognizable negative impacts and the proposed use will serve a public need by
providing a service to the community.
C. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because
the site is adjacent to like commercial and industrial uses.
D. There are adequate existing provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare, because no facilities will be altered, and no increase in public service demands will result
from the proposed use.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being proposed
because the existing industrial building is of adequate size to serve the use.
F. The proposed use is compatible with the specific intent established for the M-l Zoning District for
at the time the industrial building was constructed for the purposes of housing industrial and
commercial service type users.
G. The subject site provides a sufficient number of parking spaces to meet the greatest parking
demands of the participating use types and to ensure that there will not be a parking deficiency.
H. That satisfactory evidence has been provided that the use types, by their nature and operating
times, will not conflict with each other and overflow parking will not adversely affect any adjacent
use.
1. The proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan.
