FROM:
PA 86-017 Corwood Car Wash Conditional Use
Permit, Site Development Review, and Variance
GENERAL INFORMATION:
PROJECT:
A Conditional Use Permit and Site Development
Review to remodel and expand the existing car
wash, including a detail shop, and a request to
vary from the sideyard setback requirements and
parking regulations.
ANALYSIS:
This item was continued from the October 20, 1986, Planning Commission
meeting at which the Commission closed the public hearing and directed Staff to
prepare a Resolution of denial without prejudice for the proposed project. The
Applicant's revised plans would need substantial modification to comply with
the Commission's direction. It was the consensus of the Commission that:
1) the detail shop building height should be limited to a single story, 2) the
width of the area between the side property line (adjacent to Lewis Avenue) and
the existing pump island is insufficient to accommodate two drive aisles and
should be limited to one aisle on each side of the pump island, and 3) the
Conditional Use Permit approval should be limited to a maximum 5 year period.
A five feet minimum landscape strip should be provided adjacent to the Lewis
Avenue side property line in the vicinity of the pump island.
The Commission also expressed concern with 1) on-site circulation and
the location of some of the Applicant's proposed parking spaces, 2) the
location of a designated R. V. wash area separate from parking and circulation
and 3) the safety hazard of the existing vacuum hose encroaching onto the
adjacent public sidewalk.
Denying the application without prejudice allows the Applicant to
resubmit an application within a one-year period.
RECOMMENDATION:
FORMAT:
1)
2)
Hear Staff presentation.

Development Review, Variance, or continue the item and
provide Staff direction.
ACTION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the Resolution
denying without prejudice the Site Development Review, Conditional
Use Permit and Variance for PA 86-017 Corwood Car Wash.

DENYING PA 86-017 CORWooD CAR WASH;SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT, AND VARIANCE FOR TIIE PROPOSED. EXPANSION
WHEREAS, Roger Woodward, Property Owner of Corwood Car Wash, filed
an application for a Conditional Use Permit (PA 86-017) and Site Development
Review to allow addition and expansion of the existing car wash facility to
include an auto detail shop, and a request to vary from required sid~yard
setbacks and parking regulations at 6973 Village Parkway; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on said
application on October 6, 1986 and October 20, 1986, and November 3,~1986; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said Public Hearing was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, this application. has been reviewed in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Analysis was submitted r~commending conditional
approval of the application; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard and considered all reports,
recommendations, and testimony; and
NOW, TIIEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission
does hereby find that:
1. Said application would not promote orderly~ attractive, and
harmonious development; stabilize land values and investments; or
promote the general welfare in that substantial modifications to
the proposed project are necessary to prop,erly relate the use to
the site, surroundings and circulation.
2. Approval of said application would not be jn the best interest and
may be detrimental to the public health, safety and general
welfare, in that the Applicant's proposal does not adequa~ely
mitigate the potential safety hazard of the existing va.uum hose
encroaching onto the public sidewalk, and the area width proposed
for two drive aisles between the side property line and the
existing pump island is insufficient and may result in vehicles
encroaching onto the adjacent sidewalk.
3. General site considerations, including site layout, orientation,
and the location of bUildings, vehicular access circulation and
parking, setbacks, building height, public safety, and similar
elements as designed do not provide a desirable environment for the
development of adjacent residential property. In particular, the
proposed two-story height of the detail shop and the 12 foot rear
yard setback is incompatible with the adjacent single family
residential property.
4. Landscaping including the location, type, ?ize, and coverage of
plant materials, provisions for irrigation, maintenance and
protection of landscaped areas and similar elements are inadequate
as proposed to insure vis~al relief to complement buildings and
structures and to provide an attractive environment for the public.
"
EXHIBIT A-
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The Planning Commission does hereby
deny PA 86-017 Corwood Car Wash. ,Said denial is without prejudice to allow
consideration on a different application within the next year.
