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 use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this zoning code, Municipal Code, General Plan, and any applicable specific plans or City regulations/standards. 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. That the site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and can be conditioned to meet all related performance criteria and development standards. 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 c. That granting the permit would 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 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.

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.
