In 1996, a new <br />service station proposal was submitted to the City but the site was not ultimately <br />developed and remained vacant. A new multi -tenant commercial building was approved <br />for construction in 2007, but the project was never constructed due to economic factors <br />stemming from a subsequent economic recession. On May 26, 2020, the Planning <br />Commission held a public hearing for a proposal of a new service station and <br />associated retail store on the subject site. The Planning Commission approved CUP No. <br />2019-41 and Variance No. 2019-05 to allow the operation of a service station in the C5 <br />
