DESCRIPTION:
This item was continued from the November 23, 1987, City Council meeting
at the request of the Property Owner/Appellant, Roger L. Woodward. At that
meeting Dale Skinner, a resident at 6936 Portage Road, located behind the
Corwood Car Wash, addressed the Council noting his dissatisfaction with the
way the site looked and stated the area needed to be cleaned up. He also
indicated that if the project is approved the Applicant should be required to
increase the height of the soundwall to limit visibility to neighboring yards.
Mr. Skinner requested that the January 11th continuance be the last
continuance the Council grants.
The Property Owner/Appellant subsequently withdrew the application
request in a letter dated received December 21, 1987. Prior to the Property
Owner's appeal, PA 86-017 was denied by the Planning Commission on November 3,
1986.
Additionally it should be noted that Staff has notified Mr. Woodward
that his business is not permitted to operate within any portion of the public
right of way. Business operation includes all business activities including
but not limited to vehicles, vacuum hose or employees encroaching with the
right of way.
If the Council chooses to accept the Applicant's withdrawal, the
Planning Commission's denial of this application will stand as the final
action for the project PA 86-017.
Staff recommends the City Council accept the Property Owner's withdrawal
of PA 86-017.

- This -letter is 'written to withdraw the aforementioned . . :
application for a Conditional Use Permit to expand our -
facilities. •
At your direction we met with the City Staff _and had - _ -
what we • believed .to be a fruitful meeting. However, `-after ``
reviewing the latest Staff Report, we feel that we cannot
accept the conditions recommended to be placed on our -Permit,
and feel that further meetings and additional expenses would
. not result in a Conditional Use Permit that would make
construction economically feasible.

LOCATION: 6973 Village Parkway

DESCRIPTION:
•
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and
Site Development Review to remodel and expand the use of the existing car wash
.facility and approval;of.a Variance request to vary from the sideyard setback
requirements and parking regulations. "
The Applicant proposes to add a redwood arbor over the existing pump
island and to enclose the existing car wash and expand the building area to
include a storage area, work area, retail sales and service area resulting in
a 6,600+ square foot building. In addition to the remodel and floor area
addition to the existing structure, the Applicant proposes to expand the •
present car wash with a two-story, 2,688 square foot detail shop consisting of
four service bays, office area, waiting room and storage area on the first
floor and a 768 square foot office and storage area on the second floor: The
total proposed floor area is 9,288 square feet on a 22,914 square foot parcel.
The Applicant indicates the proposed detail shop activities will include
polishing, waxing, and interior cleaning of automobiles and recreational
vehicles. Expansion of the existing use necessitates the new Conditional Use
Permit and Site Development Review application.
There are two sideyard setback Variance requests (variance to reduce the
south sideyard setback from 12 feet .to 0 feet and to reduce the north sideyard
setback from the required 20 feet to 10 feet for the proposed cantilevered
arbor) and three parking related Variance requests (variance to permit parking
within the front and street sideyard setback, a variance to allow a form of
tandem parking, and a variance to allow substandard parking stall size) .
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
This item was continued from the October 26, 1987, City Council meeting
at the request of Mr. Woodward.
•
At the September 28, 1987, City Council meeting (September 28, 1987,
Staff Report attached) it was the 'consensus of the Council that 1) a 12-year
approval period for the Conditional Use Permit was acceptable, 2) the
Applicant's proposed 19.5 foot_building height for the detail shop 12 feet
away from the rear property line was acceptable, and 3) a third drive aisle
lane along the Lewis Avenue property line should be allowed provided mitiga-
tion is included to differentiate between the sidewalk and the Applicant's
site. The Council directed Staff to work with the Applicant concerning this
matter.
Staff met with the Applicant and Property Owner on November 5, 1987, and
November 13, 1987, to discuss mitigation of the project's encroachment onto
the City right-of-way. Staff informed the Property Owner that the commercial
use could not be conducted on the City right-of-way. Currently the City
right-of-ways on Village Parkway and Lewis Avenue are not improved to the full
width.,of the right-of-way. The width of the right-of-way on Village Parkway -
and Lewis Avenue from the face of curb to the Applicant's property line is 8
feet (see Attachment 2) . However, the existing width of the curb and sidewalk
improvements on Village Parkway and Lewis Avenue are 4.5 feet from the face of
the curb to the back of the sidewalk.

The previous Conditional Use Permit (C-1804, see Attachment 3) -and
previous Variance (V-4343,- see Attachment 4) provide :for 'only two drive aisles
and required,the gas_ pump island to be set back 20 feet from the Lewis Avenue
• property line. The island was incorrectly constructed with only an 18-foot -
setback from Lewis Avenue. -
To mitigate the commercial use .from encroaching into the Lewis Avenue .
• right-of-way, Staff recommends the Applicant place the curb, posts and chain
as shown in the November 19, 1987, Staff Sketch Study (see Attachment 5) .
. This would result in a single drive aisle approximately 16 1/2 feet wide
between the existing pump island and the raised curb needed as a wheel stop
and pedestrian barrier/separator.- The City's minimum requirement for a two-
lane drive aisle is 20 feet. The resulting 16 1/2 foot width would be too
narrow to allow two lanes of cars with car wash employees walking around the
vehicles, opening doors and vacuuming them.
The Staff also recommends that the Applicant contribute to 'the planned
future signal at Village Parkway and Lewis Avenue (see Exhibit E, draft
Condition 23) . This condition has been applied to recent expansions in the
• area, such as the Rainbow Rezoning building and use expansion at Donohue Drive
and Amador Valley Boulevard. -..:.In response to 'questions by the Applicant, the
Oil Changers use was found to generate.less traffic than the previous use and
was not asked to contribute,to the future signal (see Attachment 9) .
Four draft resolutions of approval are attached relating to the
1) Negative Declaration, 2) Variance, 3) Conditional Use Permit, and 4) Site
Development Review for the proposed Corwood Car Wash expansion.
Conditions of Approval are included within the resolutions addressing
architecture, drainage, debris, lighting,-.final landscape and site plans, -
contribution to the future signal at Village Parkway and Lewis Avenue, and
restrictions on the uses permitted with the Conditional Use Permit.
Staff recommends the City Council take action on the draft resolutions,
or provide Staff direction and continue the item to a future meeting.
