d. The project site is located in the Community Commercial (CC) District, Foothill
Boulevard Overlay District, and has been designed to comply with the all applicable design
standards; and
e. The project site provides 43 parking spaces and the project will retain the existing
driveway at the northwest corner of the site; and
f. Automated carwash land uses are a permitted land use in the Community
Commercial (CC) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District, subject to the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit; and
g. On June 20, 2018, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 932
establishing a moratorium on the establishment or expansion of carwashes within the
City. Project applications that had paid application fees prior to the adoption of the Urgency
Ordinance were exempted from the exclusions of the moratorium. The moratorium is not
applicable to the proposed project as all application fees were paid prior to the moratorium
effective date.
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 finds and concludes as follows:
a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of this Development
Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. Within the proposed Community
Commercial (CC) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District, carwashes are a permitted land
use, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The existing car wash and proposed
self-service vacuum stations are designed to be compatible with all applicable development
standards of the Development Code; and
b. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The expansion of the carwash facility will not be detrimental to the
public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property,
or improvements in the vicinity in which the project is located. The project was designed to meet
all applicable Development Code standards, performance criteria, and can be conditioned
appropriately to minimize any potential impacts to adjacent properties; and
c. That proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
this Development Code. The project site is currently developed as a car wash land use and
remains suitable for a car wash land use and the car wash's associated uses, provides
appropriate site access, provides all utility services available, and meets all related performance
criteria and development standards for a carwash facility; and
d. That the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The Land Use
element within the General Plan (Chapter 2) encourages sustainability within site design and
construction and encourages commercial uses to provide a broad range of services to customers.
The solar panels provide a sustainability element to this project and the self-service vacuum
stations provide another option for customers.The proposed project is consistent with the General
Plan.

4. The Planning Department has determined that the project is categorically exempt from
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3, (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15303) — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. The project
includes new construction of a canopy structure, vacuum stations and equipment enclosure and
will not create any negative impacts on the environment. Furthermore, the applicant has provided
a noise study which determined that any noise generated from the new equipment and self-serve
vacuum stations would not exceed maximum performance standards for noise as described in
the Development Code
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
