Torn Grahn, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted that comment letters were received from Burrtec, California Department of Toxic Substance Control, and SOAMD. All issues have been adequately addressed. He noted there are some changes to the resolutions for the GPA and ZMA which have been placed on the dais. The changes are related to recent housing legislation. Tom Grahn. noted to the Commissioners the GPA and ZMA resolutions were revised addressing SB 166, and were on • the dais for their review. Chairman Oaxaca opened the public hearing. The representative for the applicant, Michael Pauls. began his comments by thanking staff for their efforts and Tom Grahn whom they've been working with for 2 years. He spoke about the comprehensive oversight of Chevron franchises. He agrees with the conditions of approval as recommended by staff. He also recapped the history of the site noting since its closure, has become an eyesore. He said carwashes now have drought tolerant features per California.. He emphasized that the project meets noise standards for the City and Surrounding neighborhoods and that they will also be hiring locally and creating 15 new jobs. They will encourage use of public transportation for workers. The site will be completely monitored by security cameras. He noted the lighting will not encroach onto other properties and when they did community outreach, the locals seemed to welcome the new facility. Suket Doyal. representing Quality Development, who owns a business across from proposed project which includes a mechanics shop and a larger retail space. He stated the prior station was not abandoned as suggested. but the City denied previous owners when they wanted to re-open which he indicated could be a possible liability. He believes there is more of a need for affordable housing in the City and that a lot of exceptions are being made for this gas station. For example, other locations cannot have pumps visible from street, but this project is being allowed to keep pumps visible. He asked that the Commission, at minimum. to restrict the sale of alcohol, and tobacco products since the station is located across from a school. • Vic (last name unintelligible) The owner of Rancho Car Wash, Liquor Paradise, and a flower shop in the City, stated, he does not understand why the City is allowing more gas stations and car washes since there are 9 gas stations and 5 car washes within a 2.5 mile-radius. He stated that he previously asked the City about that lot and was told it would never be a gas Page 5 of 14 • a s JULY 11 , 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA station. Therefore. he spent 6.5 million on the full-service car wash on Hermosa and Arrow. He stated that he lost 25% business when a gas station opened on Haven and the proposed project will negatively affect his business. He believes the site should be something the community needs such as a grocery store, and the gas station will attract homeless people who use needles and will increase break-ins. Brandon (last name unknown) stated that there are many gas stations within a 2-mile radius and believes the site could be put to better use. He's also concerned about the school clown street and the hones and poisons that will be generated by the gas station. Elias (last name unintelligible) stated that he drives by the site every day and it is located on • a great corner. He never thought a gas station would go in that site and there is not a need for it and he further believes it will take jobs from other car washes. Oscar, the manager of another car wash, which is 2000 feet from proposed site, stated that a new station may generate new jobs but his employees may lose their jobs or hours. Commissioner Oaxaca asked him if his car wash was full service. Oscar confirmed that it is a full-service car wash. Alan Smith— Co-owner of a property that is east of this project. suggested a change in the site plan by moving the proposed driveway away from the exit of the carwash and creating a 50- foot center driveway. He said he has already spoken to Engineering Services with the City about the proposed change and stated he is willing to share the cost. He said he supports the project because the City is experiencing growth, especially in multi-family units and there are lots of residents. He also thinks that the project has good architecture, keeping with the historical theme and if done right, the project should be good for the City. He stated that he doesn't see competition because the car, wash down the street is full service, not express or automated and different people have places that fit their financial needs. He supports the project because it will clean up the area. An unidentified speaker said he is a Car wash employee that grew up in a poor neighborhood and started smoking since he was young and doesn't want his son to smoke and believes the • gas station will encourage early smoking. He suggested a better usage would be fast food. Duke. a resident for 10 years. stated he would like a bank or car rental center.

Michael Pauls responded to the speakers by stating that he appreciated what the speakers had to say. Addressing the comments about the car wash located % mile to east, he stated that specific business sells alcohol, has a quick service restaurant, and is a full service, detail center. Therefore, the proposed project will not compete with the existing car wash since they will not serve alcohol and have no quick serve restaurant. He went on to state gas station distances are measured by their distances from each other on the same side of the street. • with the flow of traffic. The proposed project will be the only gas station northbound on Archibald Avenue and going west on Arrow Route. Since people flow into service stations with the direction of traffic, the gas station would be a good fit for the area and they are investing 3 million into the project. Commissioner Guglielmo mentioned the proposed project will not sell alcohol and asked about the sale of tobacco. Michael Pauls replied yes. tobacco will be sold. but there will be signs that smoking on site is prohibited. He also stated that the number of smokers is rapidly shrinking. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wimberly commented that the report was very comprehensive and feels the project is a good fit for the location. He further stated the timeframe to deal with this project has been long. He recommended support of staff's recommendation. Commission Guglielmo stated that this is a tough decision, he's weighing the possibilities. wants to listen to the community and thanked them for their comments. Chairman Oaxaca said that it's important to understand the role of this Commission. It is not to determine if a business is economically viable or if it will affect viability of other businesses. The role of the Commission is to determine the appropriate uses of land and to promote overall growth and the development of the City. He has seen this site come and go over the years • and observed that it's been left in poor condition for a long time. While others have looked at it for other reasons, a company has decided they can make the business work. He also commented on the nearby school and stated that it is a unique school which focuses on preschool age children with special needs. There will not be kids walking to and from or being Page 7 of 14 CITY OF RANCHO • JULY 11 , 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA dropped off by busses like a normal school. They will be escorted, supervised, and tightly controlled. Regarding the nearby car wash, he notes that people choose what level of service they want at a car wash and there is a difference between a fell-service car wash and an automated car wash. He stated there is always a place for a strong business in Rancho Cucamonga and with new development in the City. there will be demand. Commissioner Munoz concurred with Chairman Oaxaca regarding his remarks about the role of the Commission. He said the full application proposal is complex but does meet City requirements with some minor exceptions. He stated that the site is unlikely to be housing. the site is complementary to what is already there. and the permit is not detrimental to public • interest. He stated that there are no other current options and it's been vacant for over 20 years. There is no action that accommodates both sides and the Planning Commission is not responsible for picking a winner, but instead we let the market decide. He noted that at the neighborhood meeting only 3 people attended and the driveway was the only issue raised and that is being worked out. Chairman Oaxaca commented that car washes currently have the attention of the City and last month the City Council passed a moratorium regarding car washes, but this project was already in progress prior to the moratorium. Council and Staff will be looking at these standards. Nick Ghirelli noted that the remaining entitlements are contingent upon the approval of GPA and ZMA by City Council.
