RESOLUTION NO. 1016
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DENYING A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR A SELF-SERVICE CAR WASH AT
28 WEST LIVE OAK AVENUE.
WHEREAS, on October 6, 1977, an application was filed by
Edward E. Simpkins and Edward E. Simpkins, Jr., to construct and
operate a self~service, coin-operated car wash, Planning Department
Case No. C.U.P. 77-25, on property commonly known as 28 West Live
Oak Avenue, more particularly described as follows:
The northerly 140' of Lot 3, Block A, Tract 10898 in the
City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, as per map recorded
in Book 189, pages 42 and 43 in the office of the Recorder
of said County.
WHEREAS, on October 25, 1977, a public hearing was held
on said matter at which time all interested persons were given full
opportunity to be heard and to present evidence;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Planning
Department in the attached staff report is true and correct.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed
self-service coin-operated car wash could be detrimental to water
conservation, could create policing problems because it would be
unattended, could create additional traffic problems at an already
congested intersection, and would be detrimental to the public
health and welfare and injurious to the property or improvements in
such vicinity.

. .
SECTION 3.. That for the fo~ing reasons, this Commission
denies the conditional use permit for a self-service, coin-operated
car wash.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this resolution.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was
adopted at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the
City of Arcadia on the 8th day of November, by the following vote:
AYES:
Commissioners Brink, Hegg, Huddy, Sargis,
Kuyper
NOES:

a mInImum of 16 businesses which have loading doors adjacent
to or fronting on alleys.
Restricting alley loading could create a severe hardship on
these businesses.
The City can, however, discoura~e vehicles from parking in
alleys for the purpose of unloa ing and loading merchandise
by requirin€ loading doors on new buildings to be placed a
minimum of 10 feet from the alley.
Adopting this text amendment would not guarantee that vehicles
will not use the alley for parking, especially when it is
more convenient to do so.
Staff would recommend that the following be added to Section
9269.10 "Loading Requirements" as set forth in the parking
ordinance:
"Loading doors on commercial or industrial buildings shall be
located a minimum of 10 feet from an alley."
.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial
study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not dis-
close any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change
in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by
the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna,
ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic signifi-
cance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for
this project.
Before the City Council takes action on this project, the
Council should "move to approve and file the Negative Declaration
and find that the project will not have a significant effect on
the environment."
RE COMMENDAT ION
The Planning Department recommends Section 9269.10 be amended
to read: .
.
"9269.10. LOADING REQUIREMENTS. On the same land therewith,
every building, structure or part thereof, erected or occupied
for a permitted use involving the receipt or distribution by
vehicles of materials or merchandise incidental to carrying on
such activity, shall be provided with a minimum off-street or
off-alley loading area of one (1) loading space for each nine
hundred twenty-nine square meters (929 sq. m.) = (10,000 sq. ft.)
of gross floor area. When a fractional figure is found as a
remainder in computations made to determine the amount of
.
LA. 77-6
3
required loading space, such fraction shall be considered to
be the next largest whole number. Each such loading space
shall not be less than three hundred five centimeters (305 cm.) =
(10') wide by seven hundred sixty centimeters (760 cm.) =
(24'11") long with adequate provision for egress and ingress.
Loading doors on commercial or industrial buildings shall be
located a minimum of three hundred five centimeters (305 cm.) =
(10') from an alley."

SPECIAL INFORMATION
The applicant is proposing to use the north 140 feet of the
property at 28 West Live Oak. The southerly 145 feet is used
. .
~
C.U.P. 77-25

.
for parking by Vacco Carpets, owned by the applicant, Edward E.
Simpkins.
Buildin&: The applicant is proposing a s-bay self-service
car wasn 18 feet by 95 feet. The building will be slumpstone
block 17 feet in height with a tile mansard roof. The building
will be set at an angle to the Live Oak property line.
Parkin~: There will be 7 parking stalls at the rear of the
site wIth vacuums adjacent to the stalls.
Access to the bays will be from the westerly 30-foot driveway.
Egress from the lot will be from a 19' 6" driveway easement
located adjacent to the easterly property line.
There is a 39-foot paved area between the bays and the westerly
property line. This area would provide room for cars waiting
to use the car wash.
Landscating: The applicant proposes a 3-foot wide planter
along t e westerly property line. A planter 12 feet in width
reducing to 1 foot in width is proposed in front of the
building adjacent to the Live Oak property line.
.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
The car wash will be open 24 hours. There will be one part-
time employee who will work 1-2 hours a day cleaning the
premises and maintaining the equipment. Two light standards
are proposed adjacent to the vacuum equipment.
No trash enclosure is shown on the plans.
The applicant has indicated that a self-service car wash uses
approximately 14-18 gallons of water in a 5-minute cycle as
compared to 150-400 gallons per cycle for a full-service car
wash.
Staff contacted the Water Department and was advised that an
ordinary 3/4-inch garden hose in a residential area will
use approximately 18-20 gallons of water per minute or 90-100
gallons per 5 minutes.
ANALYSIS
.
A self-service car wash is a permitted use in a CoM Zone with
an approved conditional use permit and is consistent with the
General Plan designation of Commercial.
.
Staff believes the first bay should be setback a mInImum of
10 feet from the Live Oak p~operty line. This bay is too close
......- -
.
.
.
C.U.P. 77-25
3
to the property line and anyone waiting to use the bay could
block the driveway and eastbound traffic.
Also a 10-foot setback would allow for additional landscaping
and screening along Live Oak. A lO-foot setback might reduce
the number of washing bays to four.
Staff also recommends that a s-foot landscape planter be
located along the westerly property line in lieu of the 3 feet
shown. This would require a reduction in the driveway, but
would still allow for a 37-foot paved area between the building
and westerly property line.
No wall or fence is shown screening the rear parking area from
this use. Staff would recommend that a 6-foot high wall be con-
structed between the existing parking area and the proposed
car wash. This would also reduce the effect of the car wash
equipment noise on the properties to the south.
In order to further reduce the possible impact the car wash
may have on the R-3,property to the south, the Planning Depart-
ment would recommend that the hours of operation be limited.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial
study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not
disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse
change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected
by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora,
fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic
significance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been pre-
pared for this project.
Before the Planning Commission takes action on this project,
the Commission should "move to approve and file the Negative
Declaration and find that the project will not have a signifi-

WATER
~ An immediate concern for the near term is water. There are some
in~eresting facts concerning self-service.
It's important to note that it takes far less water to wash a
car in a coin operated facility than in an alltomatic car wash,
or at home. A self-service car wash will Ilse 14 to 18 gallons
of water in a five minute cycle. A full service will use anywhere
from 150 to over 400 gallons of water per car. Even at home
washing uses more water. Assuming a 3/4" hose and normal water
pressure. five minutes of washing will use approximately lOa
gallons of water as compared to 14 to 19 gallons for self-service.
Since the cllstomer pays by the minllte at a sel:'-service, the race
against time to wash a car saves both money and water.
.
If more urgent water conservation efforts become necessary,
homeowners, and even more so apartment renters ,may not want to
or may not be allowed to wash their car where they live. The
self-service then becomes an important alternative - a water
conserving alternative.
Also, I have checked with the Southern California Water Department
three times in the last six months. As of this point in time
there is no problem from their point of view with this type of
facility getting water. The only suggestion for water conservation
that was made was to consider plumbing fer recycling of water.
However, given how little water is Ilsed })er cycle in a self-
service car wash and the inefficiEncy and cost of recycling
equipment, the amount of water conserved w0uld probably not
justify the equipment.
