d. The proposed use falls within the scope of the Car Washing and Detailing use type
as described in Development Code Section 17.32.020G.7. The Development Code requires the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of Car Washing and Detailing uses
within the Corridor 1 zone; and
e. In addition to the Design Review and Conditional Use Permit applications, the
project also includes a request for a minor exception to permit deviation from the maximum wall
height requirement on the south property line of the project site, to allow for the construction of an
8 -foot screen wall. This deviation is necessary to maximize noise attenuation for the adjoining
residential use; and
f. In addition to the Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, and Minor Exception
applications, the project also includes a request for a Variance to permit deviations from the
minimum residential use and frontage requirements in the underlying zone. These requests are
necessary to accommodate unique site limitations.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby makes the following findings for Conditional Use Permit
DRC2025-00113 pursuant to Development Code Section 17.20.060:
a. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan. The project site falls within
the City Corridor Moderate General Plan Land Use Designation, intended for mixed -use
development which transitions auto -oriented corridors to walkable neighborhoods. Small-scale
auto -oriented uses such as drive throughs and car washes are allowed. The proposed Car
Washing and Detailing use is limited in scope and intensity, consistent with the intention for auto -
oriented uses located within the City Corridor Moderate General Plan Land Use Designation; and
b. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and
the purposes of the applicable zone as well as any applicable specific plans or city
regulations/standards. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.136.020, Car Washing and
Detailing uses are permitted in the Corridor 1 zone with the approval of a conditional use permit.
The proposed use shall conform to all general operational standards as detailed in the
Development Code. Further, the proposed use shall adhere to the operational standards specific
to Car Washing and Detailing as detailed in Development Code Section 17.90.030; and

c. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being
proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make
conduct of the use undesirable. The project site is a vacant lot directly adjoining Vineyard Avenue,
which the general plan identifies as an auto -oriented street and thus ideal for auto -dependent
uses such as Car Washing and Detailing The project shall share access from the public right of
way with an existing Multi -Tenant Commercial Center. Thus, Staff finds that the project site is
physically suitable for the proposed Car Washing and Detailing use; and
d. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use
would be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including
transportation and service facilities. The proposed use is similar in scale to the neighboring multi -
tenant commercial development to the north. Appropriate screening and noise attenuation will be
applied to the south of the project site to minimize the negative impacts of the Car Washing and
Detailing use for adjacent residential uses; and
e. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious to detrimental
to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons,
property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. The proposed
project shall adhere to all operational standards as required by the development code and shall
include screening and noise attenuation measures to mitigate the impact of car washing activities
on surrounding properties. Conditions of approval have also been applied which shall mitigate
negative impacts of the proposed use so as not to create a nuisance; and
f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on city services, including
police, fire, streets, and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current
level of service due to the use. The proposed use has been reviewed by the engineering and
traffic departments, and conditions of approval have been applied to mitigate potential traffic
conflicts related to the proposed Car Washing and Detailing use. This includes the requirement
that a queueing study be conducted and approved by the Engineering department prior to
issuance of building permits.
4. This Commission also hereby makes the following findings in support of Minor
Design Review DRC2025-00118 pursuant to Development Code Section 17.16.130
a. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan. The project site falls
within the City Corridor Moderate General Plan Land Use Designation, intended for mixed -use
development which transitions auto -oriented corridors to walkable neighborhoods. Small-scale
auto -oriented uses such as drive throughs and car washes are allowed. The proposed car wash
facility is limited in scope and intensity, consistent with the intention for auto -oriented uses located
within the City Corridor Moderate General Plan Land Use Designation; and
b. The proposed project is in accord with the objective of the Development Code
and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is located within the
Corridor 1 (CO1) zone. This zone promotes medium -intensity mixed -use development which
transitions auto -oriented corridors to more walkable areas. Intended uses include a broad range
of commercial and retail uses, as well as auto -oriented uses which are small in scale. The
proposed car wash facility is limited in scope and intensity, consistent with the intention for auto -
oriented uses located within the Corridor 1 (CO1) zone; and

c. The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code. With the approval of the minor exception and variance referenced herein,
the proposed project adheres to all development standards for the zone in which it is located. This
includes the use -specific development standards which apply to Car Washing and Detailing uses
as detailed in Development Code Section 17.90.020; and
d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The proposed project shall adhere to all operational standards as
required by the development code and shall include screening and noise attenuation measures
to mitigate the impact of car washing activities on surrounding properties. Conditions of approval
have also been applied which shall mitigate negative impacts of the proposed use so as not to
create a nuisance.
5. The Commission also hereby makes the following findings in support of Minor
Exception DRC2026-00098 pursuant to Development Code Section 17.16.110.
a. The minor exception is consistent with the general plan or any applicable specific
plan or development agreement. The proposed wall height increase is intended to improve noise
attenuation to protect residential uses adjacent to the project site. This supports General Plan
LC1.11 — Compatible Development by ensuring compatibility of new development with adjacent
contexts.
b. The proposed minor exception is compatible with existing and proposed land
uses in the surrounding area. The proposed wall height increase is comparable with similar noise
attenuation provisions elsewhere in the City and is intended to protect neighboring uses from
noise created by the proposed Car Washing and Detailing use; and
c. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or
accommodate unique site conditions. The subject wall height increase was proposed at the
suggestion of the Design Review Committee, as a solution to potential noise nuisance issues that
could be created by the proposed Car Washing and Detailing use. Thus, the proposed minor
exception is compatible with the desires of the community; and
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity. Noise attenuation is a standard requirement of commercial and industrial uses
adjacent to residential development. The proposed minor exception is intended to improve noise
attenuation and mitigate nuisance noise for neighboring residential uses.
6. The Commission also hereby makes the following findings in support of Variance
DRC2026-00074 pursuant to development code 17.20.030
a. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of
this code. The granting of the variance is necessary to accommodate the circulation needs of the
proposed use. The size of the lot and its nature as infill development limits the ability to provide
the necessary circulation while meeting the frontage requirements. Further, as the project can be
considered to already be an element of existing and proposed horizontal mixed use development,
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2026-020
DRC2025-00113, DRC2025-00118, DRC2026-00098, DRC2026-00074

requiring additional residential development would result in an undue burden on the applicant;
and
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone. The property is located adjacent to an entitled mixed -use
development and is further adjacent to existing residential and commercial uses. As such, the
proposed use can be considered a component of existing and proposed horizontal mixed -use
development. Further, the proposed Car Washing and Detailing use has unique circulation
requirements as an auto -oriented use which cannot be met should a strict interpretation of the
code be applied; and
c. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone.
Car Washing and Detailing is a conditionally permitted use in the Corridor 1 zone. The commercial
property located to the north of the project site does not incorporate residential development, and
in addition another Car Washing and Detailing use, also in the Corridor 1 zone, is located in the
vicinity of the project site. Thus, strict enforcement of the specified regulations would prevent the
applicant from enjoying the same privileges enjoyed by other users in the vicinity; and
d. The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Another Car
Washing and Detailing use is located within the vicinity of the proposed use. Further, the adjoining
multi -tenant commercial use to the north of the project site does not incorporate residential
development, and is also considered by Staff to be a component of the existing and proposed
horizontal mixed use development. As such, granting of the variance shall not constitute a
granting of special privilege not enjoyed by owners of other properties in the vicinity; and
e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed
variance shall not result in an intensification of the proposed use beyond what is typical of similar
uses in the vicinity. The proposed project shall adhere to all operational standards as required by
the development code and shall include screening and noise attenuation measures to mitigate
the impact of car washing activities on surrounding properties. Conditions of approval have also
been applied which shall mitigate negative impacts of the proposed use so as not to create a
nuisance.
7. Planning department staff have determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 categorical exemption under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15332 - Infill Development Projects. The project scope is the development of
a commercial Car Washing and Detailing use on a vacant lot which is adjacent on three sides to
already developed property. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan and the
standards of the development code. A technical memorandum has been prepared for the
proposed project and confirms that the project meets all criteria to qualify for a Class 32
Categorical Exemption, and that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a
significant impact on the environment.
