AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PORTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE TO
ESTABLISH OUTDOOR SERVICE AND AUTO-ORIENTED COMMERCIAL
FACILITIES AS CONDITIONAL USES IN [ALL] COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, the Community Plan promotes a high quality built environment; and
WHEREAS, outdoor seating areas, outdoor display areas, drive-in, or drive thru
facilities are not adequately defined within the Dublin Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Council, and staff intended and interpreted outdoor dining areas or
restaurant patio seating and outdoor market facilities to fall within the definition of
"outdoor service facility"; and
WHEREAS, the Law Director has advised that the Code be updated and revised with
regard to drive-thru facilities, drive-in uses, and outdoor service areas; and
WHEREAS, consistent administration requires that the Zoning Code be amended
regarding outdoor commercial activities; and
WHEREAS, outdoor service areas may increase noise levels and visual clutter within the
surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, auto-oriented commercial facilities may have increased lighting, noise, auto
stacking, and/or traffic flow both on-site and within the surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, gas stations, oil change facilities, and car repair shops have similar
characteristics as other auto-oriented commercial uses and will now be considered
conditional uses within several commercial districts; and
WHEREAS, all auto-oriented and outdoor commercial uses may require special
consideration in site planning and design; and
WHEREAS, establishing outdoor commercial areas as conditional uses will require the
Dublin Planning Commission to review such uses to ensure they are conducted in a
manner that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the community; and
WHEREAS, off-street stacking requirements are being created for auto-oriented
facilities to increase vehicular mobility throughout the site and to eliminate stacked
vehicles from spilling onto and clogging the surrounding street system; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary from time to time to update the Code and to enact new
standards; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed
amendments on August 10, 2000 and recommends approval.
NOW, TI~EREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Council, of the City of Dublin, State
