As demonstrated in the parking analysis for the project, the site will have sufficient parking to accommodate the various uses during the peak parking hours on both weekdays and weekends. Therefore, the reduction in parking will not be detrimental to the surrounding community as it will not result in parking impacts affecting adjacent commercial or residential neighborhoods. Further, the granting of the variance will allow the property owner to develop a long- underutilized site, contributing to the vitality and success of the Bristol Street commercial corridor. Finally, conditions have been placed to ensure that the site be in compliance with all other development standards applicable to the property. 4.

The project will not adversely affect the General Plan as the proposed use is consistent with Goals 1 and 2 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. These goals encourage uses such as the proposed mixed -use car wash and commercial development that promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs and which enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. In addition, the project is consistent with Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element, which supports commercial uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services.
