PROPERTY, ZONING AND
LOCATION:
7840 Amador Valley Blvd., Zoned C-i;
Retail Business District
(APN 941-305-20-2)
SURROUNDING LAND USE
AND ZONING:
The subject property is surrounded by
various existing retail business uses.
All properties immediately adjoining the
service station carry the C-l; Retail
Business District Zoning Classification.
ZONING HISTORY:
The service station constructed as a
Type A Service Station in 1972 based on
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit
by the Alameda County Zoning
Administrator on May 12, 1971 (C-2292).
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-48.2 establishes Conditional
Uses in C-l; Retail Busines Districts. Subsection 1) establishes
Type A Service Stations, as Conditional Uses Type A (facility
retailing automotive parts and supplies which are installed and
serviced on the site but which do not include engine,
transmission or differential rebuilding or auto repair). A new
Conditional Use Permit Application is required to amend the range
of uses and/or services provided in an existing Type A Service
Station.
Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to
determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public
need; 2) whether or not the use will be properly related to other
land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity;
3) whether or not the use will materially affect the health or
safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity;
ITEM NO.
and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific
intent clauses or peformance standards established for the
district in which it is located.
Section 8-94.4 states the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made
contingent upon the acceptance and observance of specified
conditions, includinq but not limited to the following matters:
a) substantial conformity to approved plans and drawings;
b) limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified
activities;
c) time period within which the approval shall be exercised and
the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the
approval shall lapse and be void;
d) guarantees as to compliance with the terms of the approval,
including the posting of bond;
e) compliance with requirements of other departments of the
City/County Government.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Categorically exempt
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the October 7, 1985, hearing was
published in the Tri-Valley Herald, mailed to adjacent
property owners, and posted in public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The addition of the food convenience store operation is
proposed to occur within the existing foot print of the 30'
x 60'+_ service station structure. The range of sales items
listed by the applicant include the sale of prepackaged
sandwiches, candy, soft drinks, cigarettes, beer, wine and
novelties.
A review of the site revealed that several minor up-grades
to the subject property appear warranted in conjunction with
the expansion of uses at the site to give it a "finished"
appearance. These up-grades include:
- Removal of illegal signs and adjustment to the
size/number of price signs to conform with existing sign
ordinance standards.
- Provision of formal on-site parking.
- Repair of exterior brick veneer areas that have fallen
into disrepair (south west corner of building).
- Repair, replacement or modification of existing yard
lights.
- Modification of location of the telephone booth and
adjustment to the screen-wall of the south west corner of
the building to provide improved access around the subject
building (or alternatively, formal closure of access around
th~ building).
- Upgrading of site landscaping, including the
introduction of 15 gallon trees.
Use of the site as a service station-food convenience store
appears to be an appropriate use of the subject property,
consistent with the intent of the C-1 District and with
existing, surrounding uses.
