SUMMARY The Conditional Use Permit and Architectura1Design Review applications were submitted by Chevron USA Products Company (c/o R.E,M. Engineering Co., Inc.) to replace a three service bay, four pump, 24-hour self-serve gas station with a new 24-hour, four pump self-serve gas station and a 2,000 sq, ft, convenience mart with beer & wine sales for off-site consumption at 11 E. Live Oak Avenue. The Development Services Department is recommending approval subject to the conditions listed in this report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Chevron USA Products Co. c/o R.E,M Engineering Co" Inc, LOCATION: 11 E, Live Oak Ave. - Northeast comer of Live Oak and Santa Anita Aves, REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review to replace a three service bay, four pump, 24-hour self-serve gas station with a 24-hour, four pump self-serve gas station and a 2,000 sq. ft. convenience mart with beer & wine sales for off-site consumption. SITE AREA: 24;214 sq. ft, (0,555 acre) FRONTAGES: 133.98 ft, along E. Live Oak Ave. and 201.75 ft. along S. Santa Anita Ave. . GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial . . . EXISTING LAND USE &. ZONING: The site is improved with a 24-hour self-serve gas station. The property is zoned C-l: Limited Commercial. SURROUNDING LAND USES &. ZONING: North: Single family residence - zoned PR-l South: Supermarket - zoned C-2 East: Restaurant - zoned C-l West: Multi-tenant shopping center - zoned C-2 BACKGROUND This site bas been occupied by a gas station since 1955. The existing gas station was built in 1972 and was developed in accordance with the conditional use permit granted for the gas station that it replaced (CUP 66-13). It became a 24-hour, seIf.serve gas station without needing conditional use permits, and includes a 210 net sq, ft, incidental retail sales area as allowed by Ord. No, 1807, adopted in 1985. In 1997, the City Council approved a text amendment (TA 97-003) to allow ''Fueling Stations" i.e" gas stations in conjunction with a convenience mart, The ordinance included the following special regulations for fueling stations: . A minimnm of 8 fueling positions, i.e., the spaces occupied by a vehicle at a pump island while it is being refueled; . No gas station activities other than the dispensing of gasoline. sale of oil and other misce1laneous automobile accessories directly to users of motor vehicles; . Retail display and sales of beverages, food and other convenience products shall be confined within one room of not more than 2,000 sq. it; and . The sale of beer &. wine is permitted subject to all other applicable City and State laws, PROPOSAL &. ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing service station and build a new four pwnp, self-serve gas station with a 2,000 sq, ft, convenience mart. The gas station and convenience mart will be open 24-hours, and will include the sale ofbeer &. wine for off-site consumption in compliance with State laws. This proposal requires a conditional use permit for: (i) the fueling station, (ii) a retail business selling liquor that is located less than 150 feet from residentially zoned property, and (ill) a 24-hour retail business that is located less than 150 feet from residentiaUy zoned property, CUP 98'()11 &. ADR 98.005 May 26, 1998 Page 2 . Gas Station The four gasoline pumps will each be able to serve two vehicles at a time, They will be aligned in a north-south orientation under a single 22 ft, wide by 98 ft, long, 20 ft, tall flat canopy, A separate self-serve, air & water dispensing area is provided to the south of the convenience mart, No other vehicular services will be provided. Convenience Mart The convenience mart will have a retail sales area of 1,275 sq. ft, including the cashier's area. The remainder of the building will consist ofa 565 sq. ft. storage room (mcluding the refrigerated display cases) gender specific accessible restrooms, and a small office, There will be 8 parking spaces (7 are required - 3 for employees and 4 for customers) in addition to the 8 fueling positions. Beer & Wme Sales Beer and wine sales are permitted at fueling stations. However, in this case the sale of alcoholic beverages requires a conditional use permit because the subject property is less than 150 feet from residentially zoned property. . 24-Hour Operation It is proposed that both components of this fueling station, the se1f-serve gas station and the convenience mart will be open 24-hours, seven days a week. The existing self-serve gas station is open 24-hours, seven days a week, but the service bays are open only from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p,m" Monday through Saturday. There are no specific limits on the hours of operation in the regulations for fueling stations. But, because the site is less than 150 feet from residentially zoned property, the hours of operation are included in the conditional use permit request. Architectural Desiflll Review Bll('-\l".... this proposal entails new construction, the architectural design of the proposed facilities are to be reviewed concurrently with the consideration of the conditional use permit. The applicant has refined the proposal to address staff's architectural concerns. The structures will be finished to complement Chevron's corporate color scheme (i,e., blue, red, dark-gray and white). . The fuel pump canopy will be blue along its length with a light-gray accent band along the upper and outer edges, "Chevron" will be lettered in white on the blue areas. The ends of the canopy will be off-white and will have internally illuminated Chevron logos mounted near the westerly edges. The canopy will be supported by four sets of two columns painted white. CUP 98-O11 &ADR98..oo5 May 26, 1998 Page 3 . . . Above each fuel pump island will be an internally illuminated white "spanner" with the Chevron logo on each side and blue lICC~ti"8 along the bottom edge. The ends of the spanners will be white with dark-gray lettering indicating the mode of service, "Self', The fuel pump facilities will be dark-gray and white. The convenience mart will be finished in alternate bands of off-white and tan stucco. The roof will be flat except at the center area which will be peaked and covered with light-weight, dark-gray, concrete shake tiles. The front of the building will be accented by a dark-gray band with a red stripe along the lower edge, The windows will be tinted to reduce heat gain and to comply with the State's Title 24 energy conservation requirements, The tinted windows will provide a dark appearance during daylight which will complement the dark gray band. All accessory features such as the mechanical equipment screen and trash enclosure will be fiiIished to match the building. Decorative stamped concrete paving will be provided at the driveways and the pedestrian areas will be accented with'decorative brick pavers, as shown on the submitted plans. A landscape planter will be provided in front of the non-glazed area of the convenience mart and. around a light standard near the cashier's window. At the ends of each fuel pump island there will be round landscape planters, . The'perimeter landscaping planters will be enlarged and replanted, The applicant had hoped to save the three existing eucalyptus trees along the north property line, but they will interfere with the new property line wall, so they will be replaced with similar 15 gallon size trees. Approximately 10,5% (2,557 sq. ft,) of the site will be landscaped. The signs include the previously described canopy signs, a blue "Food Mart" sign on the front of the building, a red "24 hrs." sign on the south side of the building facing Live Oak Avenue, and two 3 ft, by 3 ft. point-of-service (p,o.s.) signs facing the fuel pumping area, The existing freestanding sign will remain the same except that, "Fast Pay" will replace the current "Auto Service" copy, and the sign will be moved slightly to the west to improve its visibility. The secondary freestanding price sign will be relocated from the comer to the perimeter planter to the east of the Live Oak Avenue driveway. The freestanding signs will be enhanced with split-face concrete block bases. Included during the architectural design review process were reviews by all relevant City Departments. The applicant has received copies of the City's comments and requirements, and has indicated that the project will comply with all of the departmental requirements. CEOA Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development Services 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, CUP 98-011 &.

DETERMINATION (To be rnmpl""'" by the Lead AseucYl On the basis of this initial evaluation: [X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared, [] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measnres descn'bec:l on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACf REPORT is required. [] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but that at least one effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards and has been addressed by mitigation measures based on that earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, and if any remaining effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated, " an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACf REPORT is required, but . it only needs to analyze the effects that have not yet been addressed. [] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact Report pursuant to applicable standards and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures thatareimposed upon the proposed project, By: James M J{lWImll-.

File No.: CUP 9g.{)1l EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1, A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects such as the one involved (e,g., the project is not within a tiwlt rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e,g" the project will not expose sensitive" "";"I'tu.~ tI1 pollutants; based on- a jlIojcel-Sjlecific screening analysis), 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction related as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an Environmental Impact Report is required. 4, ''Potentially 'Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact," The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17 "Earlier Analyses" may be cross-referenced), . S, Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration {Section lS063(c)(3)(D)}. Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist, 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the cher.lclillt, references to information sources for potential impacts (e,g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated, -4- CEQACbecIdist 7195 . .
