CUP No. 2025-03 and Variance No. 2025-01 – McFadden and Fairview Development (2745 <br />W. McFadden Avenue and 1001 S. Fairview Street) <br />March 10, 2025 <br />Page 2 <br />4 <br />8 <br />3 <br />7 <br />Staff is recommending approval of the requested entitlements to facilitate the construction <br />of the convenience store, service station/canopy, and new commercial building, which <br />represent a significant reinvestment in the neighborhood-serving center. The project will <br />enhance the area and promote development on an existing outdated commercial property, <br />located on a major commercial intersection. The project will also provide additional services <br />to residents, workers, and visitors in the area, as well as employment opportunities, and will <br />not negatively impact the surrounding community as the project has been designed to <br />minimize impacts to the nearby sensitive land uses. Moreover, approval of the project will <br />not exacerbate the existing noise and vibration levels nor impact the existing air quality and <br />greenhouse emissions of the immediate vicinity, as substantiated by air quality, greenhouse, <br />noise, and vibration studies prepared for the project. Lastly, the project complies with the <br />General Plan goals and policies as it seeks to preserve and improve the character and <br />integrity of existing neighborhoods and encourages a wide range of commercial uses that <br />benefit the surrounding community. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Project Description <br />The project site is an integrated shopping center, comprised of two legal lots, including 2745 <br />W.
