APPROVED BY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA, this 24th day of September 2020. Scott D. Donaghe Zoning Administrator DRAFT Zoning Administrator NOTICE OF DECISION Date: September 24, 2020 Applicant: Superstar Carwash Case No.: CUP19-0004 Address: Corner of Main Street & 7th Street (APN 629-030-04-00) Project Planner: Caroline Young Notice is hereby given that on September 24, 2020, the Zoning Administrator considered Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application CUP19-0004, filed by Superstar Carwash The Applicant requests to allow the use of a one-story 3,887 square-foot automated carwash building with vacuum stations on a 0.93 acres site. The Project is located on a vacant parcel at the corner of Main Street & 7th Street Otay River Business Park Development LLC e Project Site is zoned PA1 in the Otay River Business Park Specific Plan and has a General Plan designation of Limited Industrial (ILP). The Project is more specifically described as follows: The Project would allow for the use of a one-story 3,887 square-foot automated carwash building with vacuum stations located within the parking lot. The proposed building consists of a 111-ft. carwash tunnel with and blowers at the end of the carwash tunnel to dry the vehicles. There are also restrooms, vending machines, office space, and an equipment room for the carwash. th Customers may access the site through two driveways on Main Street or 7 Avenue and loop around to the eastern portion of the site to the pay stations. Customers will select their desired carwash selection, pay for the carwash, and then proceed to drive their vehicle through the carwash tunnel. Customers do not exit their vehicles. They also have the option to use a vacuum station to vacuum their vehicles. A canopy extending the full length of the parking spaces provides shade for the vacuum stations. The Director of Development Services has reviewed the Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is required. The Zoning Administrator, under the provisions of Section 19.14.030.A of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC), has conditionally approved said request based upon the following findings of facts as required by CVMC Section 19.14.080. 1. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable and will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community. ZA Notice of Decision CUP19-0004 Page 2 The proposed use of a carwash will provide a necessary amenity to the surrounding residential neighborhood. This use will allow residents to have another option to wash their vehicles. The carwash is for public use and will also contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood and community. As proposed, the Project will not have any substantial impact on surrounding development due to design considerations that include providing a curved wall that extends beyond the carwash tunnel exit, so vehicles will exit to the south, further reducing noise and light impacts on adjacent properties. The carwash tunnel will have a solid roof cover to further reduce the noise. The Project is therefore in compliance with CVMC Section 19.68. 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 use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the residents or to property or improvements in the area. The characteristics of the proposed use and its operation will not be detrimental since the Project is located within an industrial zone, and is surrounded by an apartment complex to the west, a single-family home and commercial use to the north, and commercial and industrial uses to the east. Future development to the south will alsohave commercial and industrial uses. The use will be subject to meeting all health, safety and general welfare standards and regulations set forth by the City of Chula Vista. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the code for such use. The granting of this Conditional Use Permit requires the Applicant and Property Owner to satisfy the conditions of approval and to comply with all applicable regulations and standards specified in the Chula Vista Municipal Code, California Building, Fire Code, and other applicable codes, for such use. Furthermore, the conditions of this Conditional Use Permit are approximately in proportion to the nature and extent of the impact created by the Project in that the conditions imposed are directly related to, and of a nature and scope related to the size and impact of the Project. The Project will comply with all regulations and conditions specified in the Zoning Code for uses established under CUP19-0004. 4. That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency. The General Plan designates the site as Limited Industrial (ILP). The PA1 zone is consistent with the General Plan designation. The use of a carwash is allowed through a Conditional Use Permit. Thus, the Project is consistent with the General Plan land use Limited Industrial (ILP) designation and will not adversely affect implementation of the General Plan.
