On September 28, 1994, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to authorize staff to study and return with a report and recommendation on a proposal to amend the Municipal Code to allow automobile maintenance facilities by conditional use permit in the C-C Central Commercial zone. The proposal has been submitted by Econo Lube 'n' Tune, Inc. in conjunction with a conditional use permit request to establish an automobile maintenance facility at the southwest corner of 30th Street and Edgemere Avenue (see PCC-95-22, the following item on the agenda). The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS-95-I7, of potential environmental impacts associated with the proposal. Based on the attached Initial Study and comments thereon, the Coordinator has concluded that potential significant environmental impacts from the project can be mitigated to less than significant, and recommends adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration issued on IS-95-17. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCA-95-04 recommending that the City Council amend the Municipal Code to redefine and allow automobile maintenance facilities as a conditional use in the C-C Central Commercial zone in accordance with the attached Draft City Council Ordinance and the findings contained therein. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On February 16, 1995, the Resource Conservation Commission voted 4-0 to recommend adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration issued on IS-95-17. DISCUSSION: The Central Commercial zone presently allows automobile service stations by conditional use permit, and minor automobile repair as an accessory use (to a department store, for instance) but the C-C zone does not currently allow auto repair as an independent use. The proposal is to expand the definition of minor auto repair to include the maintenance activities associated with modern lube and tune facilities, and allow such facilities as an independent use by conditional use permit in the C-C zone. In years past, when service stations truly provided all services needed by the driving public, automotive maintenance facilities were not necessary. Now, however, with the advent of self- serve gas service stations that provide mini-markets and car washes but little, if any, automotive Page 2, Item ---.L Meeting Date 5/10/95 service, separate automotive maintenance facilities have come into being to fill that need. These types of operations are not as intensive or onerous as general automotive repair uses, and typically provide limited services such as oil changes, replacement automotive fluids, etc. in a professional, efficient and timely manner. Lube and tune-up and quick oil change shops are meeting the needs of the driving public in the most convenient way possible. They are usually located on major thoroughfares, and often close to shopping areas which permit the customer to leave their car for a short time to do grocery shopping or other errands. This concept is what makes it viable for several of the major department stores to include auto centers as accessory uses to their stores. In staff's opinion, the automotive maintenance concept is basically the same as the "automotive repair (minor)" category that already exists in the Code. In further reviewing the Code, staff also determined that this type of use as a stand alone adjacent to other commercial uses would be essentially the same as the minor automotive service and repair historically performed at service stations and probably less impactive than many of the repair activities that are performed at the automotive centers associated with major department stores, which are typically located in the C-C zone. The requirement for a conditional use permit for such uses will assure that individual sites will be reviewed and conditioned appropriately. Site specific review would address issues such as compatibility with surrounding uses and the neighborhood and would evaluate potential impacts from noise, traffic, and so on. In those cases where it is determined that the use is problematic, the CUP can be appropriately conditioned or denied. Attached is a survey by the applicant previously presented to the Commission showing the manner in which lube and tunes are treated in other jurisdictions. As indicated in the chart, most communities allow such facilities by conditional use permit in their basic or general retail commercial zones. These zones are comparable to our C-C Central Commercial zone. For the reasons noted above, we are recommending approval of the request in accordance with the attached resolution and ordinance.

Principal Planner Griffin commented briefly on the purpose for amending the Municipal Code, and recommended that the Planning Commission authorize staff to proceed with the study and scheduling of public hearings to consider the amendment. Chair Tuchscher stated that he believed this type of business had changed significantly in recent years and although he felt the current Code allowed for this use in more industrially oriented zoning, there had been changes in market demand for these facilities, access, and high visibility locations and the way that they conduct business. It seemed appropriate at this time to have staff look at it and determine if it was appropriate to make the change in the Municipal Code within the City of Chula Vista. MSC (Salas/Fuller) 6-0 (Tarantino excused) that the Planning Commission authorize consideration of an amendment to the Municipal Code to allow automotive maintenance facilities by conditional use permit in certain commercial zones. LETTER and CHART from ECONO LUBE N' TUNE 8/31/94 011. 'J. 'YonH-99i & c4Hociah~ 2117 Jarama Coun EI Cajon. California 92019 (619) 444-8247 FAX 444-8568 August 3], ]994 Members of the Planning Commission City of Chula Vista Planning Department 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, California 9] 910 RE: Request to Consider a Code Amendment for "Automotive Maintenance" Dear Members of the Planning Commission: On behalf of Econo Lube 'n' Tune, Inc. I hereby request that the Planning Commission cunsider <In amendment to the Zoning Code of the City of Chula Vjsta to clarify "Automobile Maintenance" as a separate use from "Automotive Repair"; and that this use be permitted in the CoB, C.C, C.V and CoT zone with a Conditional Use Permit and in the I-L zone as a matter of right. After extensive research into the City of Chula Vista's Zoning Ordinance, we have concluded that this amendment would be consistent with the City's Codes, particularly the recent amendment to allow "automobile car washes" in the same zones that we propose for "automoti\e maintcnancc uses". No doubt the changes in automotive services over the last several years contributed to the need to re-ex<lmine where automotive washes should be permitted in the City. We believe it is these same changes that now necessitate a new look at automotive repair and automotive maintenance in general. Currently the City's code does not differentiate between "Automotiye Repair" and "Automotive Maintenance". The City's "Land Use Chart" does have a separate category for "Automotive Service Stations" which are permitted in the C-B,C-N,C-C, C-V, CoT, I-R, I-L and I zones with a Conditional Use Permit. "Automotive Repair" is broken down into "major" and "minor" repair. "Major" automotive repair is permitted in the CoT and I-L zones with a Conditional Use Permit. "Minor" automotive repair is permitted in the CoT zone with a Conditional Use Permit, in the I-L zone as a matter of right and in the C-C zone as an aceessory use. Minor Automotive Repair as an accessrJry use would permit these types of uses as <J part of a major department store, without the requirement for a Conditiunal Use Permit. , ",. Page 2 Econo Lube 'n' Tune August 17, 1994 "Automotive Maintenance" as a primary use is a fairly new enterprise. In years past when "Automotive Service Stations" (gas stations) truly provided all services needed by the driving public this type of use would not have been necessary. Now however, with the advent of "Automotive Service Stations" that provide a variety of convenience uses but relatively little automotive service it has become necessary for separate "Automotive Maintenance Uses". "Automotive Maintenance" Services, such as lube and tune-up shops, quick oil change shops, etc., are meeting the needs of the driving public in the most convenient way possible. Typically they are locakd close to the retail uses which permit the customer to leave their car for a short time for the necessary maintenance, and while waiting for their car, do grocery shopping or other errands in the immediate vicinity of the maintenance shop. This concept of course is what makes it viable for several of the major department stores to include automotive shops as accessory uses to their stores. We recognize that these types of uses, while a convenience to shoppers may not be compatible in every commercial center or area. For this reason we have proposed that the use be subject to a conditional use permit. This would allow the City to review each use independently to ensure that it is compatible with the surrounding area and place appropnate conditions to protect this compatibility on the use. For your information we have attached a recent survey conducted of the other juri~dictions in the County regarding their classification of automotive maintenance uses. It is interesting to note that almost every jurisdiction allows these uses in their retail commercial zones with a Conditional Use Permit. We appreciate your consideration of this matter and look forward to making a fuJl presentation to you regarding Econo Lube 'n' Tune at a future public hearing to consider the Code Amendment.

PRESENTATION OF PROJECTS 1. Review of Negatiye Declaration IS-95-16, Econo Lube'n Tune, Inc, 2. Review of Negative Declaration for IS-95-I7, Econo Lube'n Tune, Inc. Code Amendment Staff Presentation Mr. Reid advised that the code amendment was to be considered first since this would actually permit the proposed use. He reviewed the development proposed by Econo Lube'n Tune as well as the code amendment which would allow automotive maintenance in certain commercial and industrial zones. Mr. Reid noted that the appl]cations will be considered by the Planning Commission ]n late March. He introduced Marilyn Ponseggi who represented the applicants. Commission Discuss]on Commissioner Hall noted that letters to the editor have appeared in the paper from neighbors in the project area. complallling that they do not receive notices on projects. Mr. Reid stated that they had been noticed regarding environmental review on the Food 4 Less project, and that this project had also been noticed. Commissioner Fisher questioned the drainage, asking about the potential for fuels to wash into the drainage channel; Commissioner Marquez voiced similar concerns, noting the proximity of the proposed building to the Oood channel. Ms. Ponseggi responded that this was not a problem per se with the proposed code amendment. With respect to the proposed development project. Ms. Ponseggi reviewed Econo Lube'n Tune's safety and storage procedures and pointed out that this facility conducts auto maintenance acttvities but no automotive repair.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION 18-95-17 Mitigated Negal.,ie Declaratio PROJECT NAME: Code Amendment to Allow Automotive Maintenance in the CoB, C-C, C-V and CoT zones upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit and I-L zone as a matter of right. LOCATION: City Wide PROJECT APPLICANT: Econo Lube 'n' Tune, Inc. CASE NO.: IS-95-17 A. Proiect Setting: The proposed project consists of an amendment to the zoning code to permit automptive maintenance in various commercial zones in the City. B. Project Description The proposed amendment would permit automotive maintenance facilities in the Central Business (C-B), Central Commercial (C-C), Visitor Commercial (C-V) and Thoroughfare Commercial (C-T) zones upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit and Limited Industrial (I-L) zone as a matter of right. The intent of the proposed code amendment is to provide automotive maintenance services in a convenient setting for consumers. The proposed code amendment is necessary to accommodate changes in the operation of automotive service stations which for the most part no longer provide general automotive maintenance services. This has necessitated consumers finding new outlets for automotive services that are convenient to other commercial consumer uses in high visibility commercial zones. C. Compatibility with Zoning: and Plans The subject of this environmental initial study is a Municipal Code Amendment which would permit automotive maintenance facilities in a variety of commercial zones with a Conditional Use Permit. The various commercial zones are intended foster different types of commercial development which are intended to meet a full array of consumer oriented businesses. The Chula Vista Municipal Code states that permitted uses in the CoB zone are "stores, shops and offices supplying commodities.or performing services for residents of the city as a whole or the surrounding community..." The Municipal Code further states that the purpose of the C- N zone is to provide 'for convenience shopping. The C-C zone permits "personal service enterprises". The C- V is intended to provide for the needs of tourists and travelers and includes specific provisions for the driving tourist. The proposed code amendment would be compatible with the each one of the ~, described above. According to the definition of automotive maintenance fa if:. .._-~~ -- city of chula vista planning department -CIlY OF- environmental review section CHUlA VISTA contained in the proposed code amendment, the proposed use is an establishment engaged in providing automotive services generally required in the operation and maintenance of automotive vehicles, for the convenience of the driving public. As previously stated, the subject commercial zones all have provisions for providing goods and services for the convenience of consumers. The requirement for a conditional use permit ensures that each review would include analysis of the individual application to verify that it compatible with the specific area that it is proposed to locate in. D. Compliance 1. Fire/EMS The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that fire and emergency medical units must be able to respond throughout the City to calls within five minutes in 75% of the cases and seven minutes in 95% of the cases. The ability of the fire department to provide adequate service would be reviewed for the specific location at the time a Conditional Use Permit would be considered. Access and other fire safety issues would be analyzed on a case by case basis. This will be analyzed as part of the specific request. The Department would most likely be able to provide an adequate level of fire protection City wide. 2. Police The Threshold/Standard Policy requires that police units be able to respond to 84% of Priority 1 calls within seven minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62% of Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. Citywide, individual applications for automotive maintenance facilities would be evaluated on a cases by case basis to ensure adequate response time for the project. The Department would most likely be able to provide an adequate level of police protection City wide. 3. Traffic The Threshold/Standard Policy requires that a Level of Service (LOS) "C" be maintained at all intersections, with the exception that LOS "D" may occur at signalized intersection for a period not to exceed a total of two hours per day. City wide, projects would be evaluated on a case by case basis and would be reviewed to ensure adequate response time for the project. The Code Amendment itself will not result in increased traffic. Specific requests would be analyzed according to their location, access and projected number of trips to be generated from the use. 4. Park/Recreation The Threshold/Standards Policy for Parks and Recreation is 3 acre/l,OOO population. The proposed city wide project will most likely not impact neighborhood parks. In most cases, payment of park fees would not be required, however, in some areas of the City these fees would be required for all development. Fees would be determined based on the individual project. 5. Drainage The Threshold/Standard Policy requires that water flows and volumes must not exceed City engineering standards. Off site drainage facilities must be adequate to serve the project. The City will review each future project on a case by case basis, at the time the Conditional Use Penn it is considered, to determine the extent of impact. The Code Amendment itself will not result in increased drainage. 6. Sewer The Threshold/Standard Policy requires that sewage flows and volumes must not exceed City engineering standards. Liquid waste generation from each individual proposed project would be analyzed at the time the Conditional Use Permit is considered to ensure adequate service. The Code Amendment itself will not result in increased waste generation. 7. Water The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that adequate water service be available for proposed projects. The issue of adequate water service would be considered as part of the Conditional Use Pennit process. Provided adequate water service is available to a specific proposed project site, and the proposal complies with the current City policy of no net increase in water consumption, it is unlikely there would be a significant impact to water demand associated with these types of uses. The issue of adequate water service would be considered as part of the Conditional Use Pennit process. E. Identification of Environmental Effects The code amendment itself will not result in significant environmental impacts. Ensuing projects, however, may result in one or more significant environmental impacts requiring specific mitigating measures to be detennined on a project by project basis. 3. Initial Study This environmental determination is based on the attached Initial Study, any comments received on the Initial Study and any comments received during the public review period for this Negative Declaration. The report reflects the independent judgement of the City of Chula Vista. Further information regarding the environmental review of this project is available from the Chula Vista Planning Department, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910. y1 ~?,l; r~ta) ENVIRON ENTA! REV EW ORDINATOR (b,\lnt.nd) The following potential impacts could be associated with each application for an automotive maintenance facility in the various commercial zones, however, not necessarily significant impacts: land use and planning, hazardous waste, and noise. These issues will be reviewed on a case by case basis for each Conditional Use Permit application. Land Use and Planning Currently Automotive Maintenance facilities are not permitted in many of the commercial zones. Therefore, the proposed use is not currently compatible with the plans and zoning of the City. Compliance with City plans would be achieved upon adoption of the proposed ordinance. Therefore, the subject proposal does not have a significant impact to land use and planning. Water Quality/Hazardous Waste There is the potential for hazardous materials used in conjunction with the automotive maintenance facility to contaminate the ground water supply if not stored and disposed of properly. Standard conditions of approval to address this situation have been included in the proposed ordinance. Adoption of the proposed ordinance including these standards will mitigate any potential impact to less than significant. Through the CUP process individual sites that may be more sensitive will be analyzed and additional conditions could be applied as part of the CUP approval. Noise Some activities associated with automotive maintenance may involve the use of power tools which in certain locations might have the potential to result in a significant impact from noise. A standard condition has been included in the ordinance which requires that all work be conducted within the building. In most cases this will reduce the noise level to less than significant. In those cases where sensitive receptors are located near a specific sight, the CUP will address this issue and additional noise reduction measures may be required. F. Consultation 1.
