roadway with a high average daily trip, which will make it efficient and convenient for
passing motorist to get their car washed.
2. That such use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental
to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed carwash will not result in any negative impacts to health, safety or general
welfare. The use will be subject to meeting all health, safety and general welfare standards
and regulations set forth by the City of Chula Vista. The carwash use is consistent with the
types of commercial uses that are allowed within the Central Commercial zone. To reduce
the noise impacts a 6-ft. and 12-ft. wall is included on the site plan as a project feature along
the rear property line. According to the noise study, the proposed use would comply with
the City of Chula Vista's Municipal Code Performance Standards and Noise Control
ordinance, and therefore, will not cause any noise related impacts to adjacent properties or
be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity, and will not be injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
code for such use.
The proposed use is located in a Central Commercial zone, which allows the operation of a
carwash, subject to issuance of a Conditional Use Pen-nit. The carwash will comply with
required development and operating regulations, including setback standards and parking
requirements contained in the Chula Vista Municipal Code (Municipal Code).
4. That the granting of the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City, or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The Project Site is designated and zoned for Central Commercial zone uses in the 2005
General Plan. The operation of a carwash use at this location is consistent with the stated
policies of the General Plan. This Conditional Use Permit is in compliance with the General
Plan policy of providing adequate commercial uses within all areas of the city. Therefore,
the use, as proposed, is consistent with the General Plan and the Central Commercial zone.

above,hereby approves the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions:
