A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Quarry Lane Performing Arts Center Project (“the Project”) Planned Development
zoning meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a
comprehensive development plan that is consistent with the General Plan and protects
the integrity and character of the area by creating a desirable use of land that is
sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan.
The Project is planned comprehensively and will follow development standards tailored
to the specific needs of the site. These standards will address issues such as building
setbacks, architecture, landscaping and grading. The proposed development will blend
with the natural features unique to the site through the use of design and planning.
2. Development of the Project under the Planned Development zoning will be harmonious
and compatible with existing residential and semi-public development in the
surrounding area in that the site will provide a dedicated performing arts space on an
existing school campus.
B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds
as follows:
1. The Planned Development zoning for the Project will be harmonious and compatible
with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that the proposed
site plan has taken into account existing site development and uses and will provide a
new performing arts center.
2. The Project site conditions were documented in the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment and Specific Plan EIR (1993), Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment
and Specific Plan, which was adopted in 1993 and has a certified Program EIR (SCH
No. 91-103064) and analyzed in the Quarry Lane Master Plan, which was adopted in
1998 by the County of Alameda and has a certified EIR (SCH No. 97122109) and the
Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration that was prepared, and the
environmental impacts that have been identified will be mitigated to the greatest degree
possible.
3. The Planned Development zoning is consistent with the General Plan policies and the
City’s Zoning Ordinance enacted for the public health, safety and welfare. The Project
will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity
nor will it be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare. The Project will comply with
all applicable development regulations and standards and will implement all adopted
mitigation measures. Additionally, no noxious odors, hazardous materials, or excessive
noises will be produced.
Ord. No. XX-23, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2023 Page 4 of 8

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding the Site Development Review
Permit for the Quarry Lane Performing Arts Center Project:
A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review)
of the Zoning Ordinance, with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans and
design guidelines because: the colors and materials of the new building will match those
of existing buildings on campus, including the standing seam metal roof and a stucco finish
painted to match the existing buildings. The window design and placement will also
compliment the other buildings on the school campus to create a unified aesthetic.
B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1)
the architecture and landscape design for the new building are well-suited to the proposed
use; 2) the overall design of the project is consistent with the design requirements of the
Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for the Quarry Lane School; 3) the proposed
project is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use
designation of Medium Density Residential and a school is permitted within this land use;
and 4) the proposed project meets the intent of the Dublin General Plan, which discourages
projects that do not relate well to the surrounding developments and the proposed project
is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that is primarily residential uses. The
Quarry Lane School has existed in the location since the late 1990’s and the Project is an
expansion of the existing campus facilities.
C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties, and
the lot(s) in which the project is proposed because: 1) the architecture and landscape
design for the new building are well-suited to the proposed use and integrated into the
overall campus design; 2) the overall design of the project is consistent with the design
requirements of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan for the Quarry Lane School;
3) the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential in that a private school is
considered a community facility, a use that can be permitted in any zoning district with
approval of a Conditional Use Permit; 4) the proposed project meets the intent of the Dublin
General Plan, which discourages projects that do not relate well to the surrounding
developments and the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood
that is primarily residential uses; and 5) the overall intensity of use of the site is not
proposed to increase in that the maximum student population and other similar factors are
not proposed to increase.
D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development because:
1) the project site has been home to Quarry Lane School since the late 1990’s and the
use is proposed to continue; and 2) although the amount of developable building area is
proposed to increase, the intensity of use of the site is not proposed to change in that the
proposed Performing Arts Center is intended to serve the existing student population and
will not increase the total maximum student population, the maximum number of faculty
Reso. No. XX-23, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2023 Page 4 of 35
and staff members; and 3) access to the site and circulation are designed to minimize
impacts to Tassajara Road.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed because: 1) the Project
site is currently developed with a single-family home and associated outbuildings; 2) the
site is relatively flat and will not have significant impacts to the existing topographic
features; 3) the roadway and utility infrastructure to serve the site already exists; 4) future
approval of grading and improvement plans will enable the site to be modified to suit the
project, which will be developed for the site in accordance with City policies and
regulations; and 5) the project complies with the Planned Development Zoning District
established for the site pursuant to provisions and policies of the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan, including the Tassajara Road Scenic Corridor Policy.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site
layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of unsightly
uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a project that is
harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments in the vicinity
because: the colors and materials of the new building will match those of the Buildings 2
and 3, including the standing seam metal roof with decorative eave corbels and a simple
cement plaster finish painted to match the existing buildings. The window design and
placement will also complement the other buildings on the school campus.
G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage
of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to ensure
visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public because: 1)
the new perimeter landscape and hardscape will be consistent with the existing school
campus to create a cohesive overall design; 2) the proposed landscape buffer along
Tassajara Road will include a variety of trees, shrubs, flowering perennials, and grasses
will be provided around the building and in the parking lot; and 3) the Project will conform
to the requirements of the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist,
pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) new site infrastructure includes driveways,
pathways, sidewalks, and site lighting designed to create an interconnection between the
existing campus facility and the new building and parking lot, including pedestrian and
vehicular connections pathways that lead to the new building; 2) a new driveway from
Tassajara Road will circulate one-way into the southern campus and exit through the
signalized driveway at the intersection of Quarry Lane School and Tassajara Road and will
circulate to the one-way, right turn only exit at the northernmost section of the campus; and
3) the proposed roadway and site frontage improvements has been designed in
coordination with the City as part of the Tassajara Road widening and improvement project
that is currently underway, including a dedication of frontage to accommodate the road
widening project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
make the following findings and determinations regarding the Conditional Use Permit:
A. The proposed use and related structures are compatible with other land uses,
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity in that: 1) the Project is an expansion of
an existing school that has been in operation since the late 1990’s; 2) the proposed
Performing Arts Center will provide a dedicated space for the school’s existing performing
Reso. No. XX-23, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2023 Page 5 of 35
arts program but will not include any increase in total student enrollment or an expansion
of existing school operations; 3) construction of the new performing arts center and
associated site improvements have been designed to be compatible with the existing
school buildings and site design; and 4) the Project site is accessible from an existing
signalized driveway in the center of the campus and a one-way, right turn only exit to the
north. In addition, the Project will include a new one-way driveway to enter the site from
Tassajara Road on the southernmost side of the campus.
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 in that: 1)
the Project will expand the existing school campus to include the acquisition of the adjacent
parcel to the south but will not result in any increase in total student enrollment or an
expansion of existing school operations; 2) adequate signage will be placed within the
Project site to safely circulate vehicular traffic one-way through the new driveway from
Tassajara Road to access to the new performing arts center and surface parking lot; 3) the
Project has been designed to ensure continued compatibility with the surrounding uses.
C. It will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood in that: 1) the Project
will include demolition of the existing structures on the site and construction of a new
Performing Arts Center, surface parking lot and site landscaping, thus improving the
neighborhood; 2) sufficient parking will be provided to meet the on-site parking
requirements for the new Performing Arts Center; 3) The Performing Arts Center will serve
the existing arts programs and will not increase to the maximum student enrollment or staff;
and 4) the Project includes a right-of-way dedication as part of the City’s road widening
project on Tassajara Road.
D. 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 in that: 1) the Project is served by existing public
roadways including Tassajara Road which is sized to accommodate the Project; and 2) the
Project is served by existing public utilities and services including water and sanitation
which are sized to accommodate the Project.
E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use and
related structures being proposed in that: 1) the Project is consistent with the General Plan
and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential
which allows schools; 2) the Project will comply with the Planned Development Zoning
Stage I and II Development Plan for the Quarry Lane School; and 3) the Project site is
immediately adjacent to the existing school and has been purchased and merged to create
a single site that can accommodate the expansion of the school campus that is suitable for
the area and compatible with the surrounding residential uses.
F. The proposed use will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development
regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is
located in that: 1) the Quarry Lane School has been in operation since the late 1990’s and
will continue as such; 2) the acquisition and development of the adjacent lot to the south
will allow the school to provide improved facilities for its existing arts program; and 3 ) the
physical improvements to the Project site have been designed to blend in with the existing
campus to create one cohesive campus.
