420 North Santa Anita Avenue
Addition of an auto polishing and cleaning
business to the commercial activities now
carried on at subject site
Approximately 151.6 feet on Colorado Blvd.
Approximately 147.65 feet on Santa Anita Avenue
The subject site is zoned C-2 and is developed
with a service station.
The properties to the north, south and west are
zoned C-2 and are developed with commercial uses.
The property to the east is zoned R-3 and
developed with residential uses.
GENERAL PLAN: Commercial
BACKGROUND
The existing service station was constructed in 1954 prior to
the requirement for a conditional use permit and the present
development standards for service stations. Conditional Use
Permit 67-4 was filed in 1967 requesting a minor structural
addition for the existing service station. The applicant did
not want to update the service station to meet the 1967 City
.
C,U,P, 78-9
2
Code standards and the Planning Commission denied C.U.P. 67-4.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is not proposing any structural changes for the
existing service station site. A conditional use permit is
required as the City Attorney has ruled that polishing and
cleaning the interiors of autos would be an expansion of the
existing service station use.
Mr. Fasching in a telephone conversation with City staff
indicated that he planned to construct a building across
Santa Anita Avenue to the west on the existing car wash property
to use for polishing and cleaning auto interiors within two
years. Due to the temporary nature of the proposed use at
420 North Santa Anita, staff does not feel that it would
warrant the expenditures necessary to bring the present service
station site up to Code standards at this time.
The subject site does not conform to Code in the following areas:
.
9275.4.17.
9275.4.11.
9275.4.12.
9275.4.18.
9275.4.13.
Trash area.
Landscaping.
Overhead utilities in lieu of underground
utilities.
Outside soft drink dispenser.
Screening of restroom entrances.
The Planning Department feels that consideration should be given
to granting this conditional use permit application for a period
not to exceed two years without imposing the present development
standards for service stations with the exception of the soft
drink dispenser which should be relocated to conform to Code.
If, however, at the end of the two-year period, the applicant
wishes to continue the auto polishing and cleaning interiors of
autos on this site, a new conditional use permit would have to
be filed and all of the development standards in effect in
June of 1980 would be applied to this business.
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
.
C.U.P. 78-9
3
Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant
effect on the environment."
RECOMMENDATI ON
The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 78-9
subject to the following conditions:
1. Conditions outlined in the attached memo from the Department
of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction
of the Director of Public Works.
2. This conditional use permit is only for the polishing of
autos and cleaning auto interiors and will expire
two (2) years after the City Council ratifies the Planning
Commission's action.
3. That the applicant relocate the soft drink dispenser to
comply with Code.
