NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
DIVISION 1.
The City Council of the City of San Rafael hereby makes the following findings, as
required under Zoning Ordinance Section 14.27.060 in approving the Rezoning from R-
IA District to PD District for the property at 226 Magnolia Avenue, as shown in Exhibit
"A" attached to this Ordinance:
The proposed amendment is consistent in principal with the San Rafael General Plan
2020 in that:
a) the proposed University administrative office use would be permitted within the
new land use designation of Public/Quasi-Public approved for the property and is
consistent with the intensity of use provided in the development plan proposed by
the University and its Master Use Permit, as amended to include this project and
is compatible with the immediately adjacent Dominican University properties
(LU -8, LU -9, LU -10, LU -12, LU -23, NH -94, AW -2);
b) the increased trips for the University administrative office would not cause a
Level of Service (LOS) impact and the University would be subject to the City's
Project Selection Process (PSP) 2008 and would contribute financially toward
area -wide traffic improvements in San Rafael affected by the development and
would not have a negative impact on air quality (LU -2. LU -3, NH -96, C-5, C-7,
AW -1);
c) the historic Magnolia House and its landscaped grounds would be retained under
the development plan and therefore its design compatibility with the
neighborhood would be ensured and the minor modifications to the building
would be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation (LU -14, H-3, CD -3, CD -4, CD -10, CD -21, CA -14);
d) converting the residential use to non-residential use would not have an adverse
impact upon maintaining the City's housing stock because this is an estate
residence that represents a small percentage of the total housing stock and is not
an affordable housing unit (H10, H-18); the conversion to non-residential use
would result in the University making a financial contribution toward employee
housing (H-24);
e) approval of the rezone would help Dominican University improve its
administrative function and contribute to its service to the community as Marin's
only University (EV -2);
f) the project would protect archaeological resources through implementation of
required mitigation measures (CA -15);
g) the site is not subject to flooding and proposed interior structural improvements
would conform to current building and seismic codes (S-3, S-6, S-8, S-32);
h) fire and police services will continue to be available to the property (S-26);
i) the project would not generate noise impacts upon neighboring properties and
outdoor activities at the site would be subject to the University's Events
Management Plan (N-4, N-5); and
j) the development plan retains all site improvements and features which provide
adequate creek setbacks and no impacts to sensitive, endangered or native species
would occur (CON -1, CON -6, CON -8, CON -8, CON -10, CON -13, CON -14).
2. The applicant has demonstrated that the change in use to University administrative
office could be served by public facilities such as sewer, water, refuse services and
other infrastructure resources that currently serve the existing single family home and
are available to serve the proposed change in use. Furthermore, the new recreational
use would not induce population growth necessitating additional public facilities
since this would not increase enrollment of students at the university or the number of
employees working at the university.
3. The change in use to administrative office for Dominican University would be
improved by deviations from typical Zoning Ordinance property development and
parking standards in that such deviations are necessary in order to integrate activities
3
across the university campus and adaptively reuse a locally designated historic
property and structure.
4. The auto, bicycle and pedestrian traffic systems presented on the Development Plan
are adequately designed for circulation needs and public safety in that: a) the existing
street system and site provides pedestrian and bicycle pathways through this site and
throughout the campus; b) the emergency vehicle ingress and egress from the site
would be provided through the existing driveway and public streets and this has been
found to be adequate by the City of San Rafael Fire and Police Departments; c) the
access and site layout has been reviewed by the appropriate City Departments and has
been determined to meet City standards; and d) ample parking facilities would be
provided on the site and throughout the University campus through the parking lot at
the rear of this building and numerous parking lots in locations nearby and throughout
the campus where currently existing parking exceeds the required number of parking
spaces by 84 spaces.
5. The public health, safety and general welfare are served by the adoption of the
proposed amendment in that it implements the General Plan and the development
plan conforms with City standards as discussed in Finding 1. Furthermore, an Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and adopted for the project
that evaluated potential environmental impacts of the project particularly in relation
to Cultural Resources due to the local historical designation for Magnolia House, and
determined that impacts would be less -than -significant based on incorporation of
mitigation measures.
6. Furthermore, the proposed project will preserve the fagade of Magnolia House as well
as the extensive landscaping of the property, the visual appearance of this historic
estate will be retained and continue to contribute to the visual quality of the
Dominican neighborhood and the general welfare of the community.
DIVISION 2.
The City Council of the City of San Rafael hereby rescinds Ordinance No. 1730 and
incorporate the Exhibit "A" Dominican College Campus Development Plan (ZC97-7),
previously approved as part of Ordinance No. 1730, as Exhibit "A" to this approval and

DIVISION 3.
The City Council of the City of San Rafael hereby approves the proposed Rezoning to
Planned Development (PD) District for the 226 Magnolia Avenue site as shown in
Exhibit "B" which consists of a Zoning map and the Development Standards specified
for the 226 Magnolia Avenue site attached to this Ordinance.

The City Council of the City of San Rafael does hereby approve as Exhibit "C", attached

held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of
this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the
Ordinance and each section, subsection, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact
