WONG ASSISTANT PLANNER CASE NO.: PREPARED BY: ADDENDUM HISTORY On November 16, 1976 the City Council adopted Ordinance 1575 which permitted automobile self-service stations with an approved Condi- tional Use Permit. On June 23, 1981 the Planning Commission determined that a service station may utili2e 50% (fifty percent) of its gasoline dispensing units for self-service purposes before being considered a self-service station requiring a separate conditional use permit. , . .

Page 1 . reconstruct a service station at the subject location. All conditions of approval have been met. The applicant proposes to convert the existing gasoline dispensers for self-service use by patrons. Section 9275.4.7.3 requires one attendant on duty at all times while toe station is open, for each 16 single dispensing units. The proposed self-service station will comply with the regulations set forth for a drive-in business, including but not limited to lot area, accessways, and landscaping (9275.4 - 9275.4.11). Since a parking lot abuts the site to the north, staff feel s a 6' -0" high masonry wall would not be necessary along the northerly property line, At the northwest corner of the lot is a trailer-size trash container under a metal canopy, The original building plans and the plans on file for C,U,P, 71-20 do not show said canopy or approve this type of container. The canopy and trash container should be removed. . An automobile self-service station is a permitted use in the C-2 zone with an approved conditional use permit. It is staff's opinion that the proposed self-service station is an appropriate use of the property and that the proposal complies with the following conditions required for granting a conditional use permit for a drive-in business: 1. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improve- ments in such zone or vicinity. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use permit is authorized. 3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. 4. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. 5. That the granting of such Conditional Use permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. . 6. The proposed use will not substantially increase veh~cular traffic on any street in a residentially zoned district. C.U.P. 83-5 2/22/83 P,q"e 2 . The p~oposed use will not lessen the suitability of any nearby commercially zoned property for com- mercial use by interfering with pedestrian traffic. 8. The p~oposed use will not create increased traffic hazards to pedestrians when located near a school, church, auditorium, theater or other place of assembly, 7. 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 prepared 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 sig- nificant effect on the environment." . RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U,P. 83-5 subject to the following conditions: 1. That no smoking signs be placed on each island and a mounted fire extinguisher be placed within seventy-five feet of all working areas, This shall be subject to the review and approval of the Fire Department. 2. That C.U.P. 83-5 shall comply with Arcadia Municipal Code Sections 9275.4 - 9275.4.11, which include the following (except for Section 9275.4.9): A.
