Appeal No. 2019-03 October 15, 2019 Page 4 be redeveloped with a new building with a contemporary design with smooth plaster finishes, metal canopies, ceramic tile, and landscaping contributing to the aesthetics of the area. 2. That the proposed 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. The proposed car wash will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of those residing or working in the vicinity. The site plan was designed to meet the City's stacking requirements and provides for queuing of approximately 15 vehicles. In addition, the stacking lane was placed at the rear of the site to reduce the chance for overflow vehicular queuing onto any public streets. There are no immediately adjacent nearby residential land uses. The uses immediately adjacent to the site include a service station to the north, a medical office building to the south (within the City of Tustin) and the Costa Mesa Freeway to the east. The closest nearby residential uses are over 500 feet from the project site, including the Village Apartments (to the north and across Fourth Street) at 521 North Tustin Avenue and The Orchard (to the southwest and across Tustin Avenue) at 2151 East First Street. The blowers/dryers will be setback 15 feet within the car wash tunnel and the vacuums have been placed north of the car wash tunnel to buffer noise from the office building to the south. A traffic impact analysis was completed by Linscott Law & Greenspan and reviewed by the Public Works Agency and found that the project or cumulative project conditions will not significantly impact any of the nearby street intersections. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The car wash will not adversely affect the economic stability or future economic development of properties in the surrounding area. The property is within the General Commercial (C2) zoning district. Additionally, since 1973, a car wash has been in operation at 325 North Tustin Avenue which is immediately adjacent to the car wash site and interrelated to the subject site as the sites would be redeveloped concurrently. The automated car wash will replace the existing car wash and the site will be redeveloped with a new building with a contemporary design and water efficient landscaping. The car wash will provide an additional service to the community and will provide a commercial business that will generate sales tax revenue for the City. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed use complies with the regulations and conditions in Chapter 41 including building heights, and parking. A condition of approval has been 75A-4
