to be reviewed by various departments including the Planning Division, Traffic Engineering Division, Police Department, and Fire Department. The Planning Commission also acknowledged that although a number of trees would need to be removed to accommodate the project as well as the undergrounding of utilities along Dublin Canyon Road, they requested the applicant continue to work with City staff during the final stages of preparing construction drawing to save as many trees where feasible. Lastly, during the initial work session, one Planning Commissioner had expressed concerns the parking lot would be overly visible from Dublin Canyon Road. In response, the applicant included additional rendering views in the final submittal package (see Attachment 5) to better demonstrate the parking will be adequately screened from view along Dublin Canyon Road. While reviewing the site screening and landscape plans, the Planning Commission also discussed the concerns raised by the neighbor to the west that additional screening be provided along the western property line to better screen vehicle lights that may spill over into their property at night and requested staff and the applicant look further into the concerns. After the public hearing, the applicant provided additional photos of the existing vegetation and landscaping along the western property line, and staff determined the adjacent home was located approximately 150 feet from the adjacent property line and believed that as proposed, the adjacent property would be adequately screened. In conclusion, and as detailed in the Planning Commission agenda report, staff and the Planning Commission concluded the proposed project is well designed and in keeping with the semi -rural character of Dublin Canyon Road and the existing General Plan and Zoning designations. In addition, conditions of approval have been recommended which will ensure the safety and general welfare of the surrounding area is maintained. Overall, the facility will fulfill a community need and the proposed location is appropriate and will not impact neighboring properties or uses. The Planning Commission concurred with staffs conclusion that the proposed project is designed in a manner compatible with the surrounding residential developments, and therefore merits approval.
