ZON2005-00405 (CONDITIONAL E PERMIT, VARIANCE, SIGN PERMIT, SITE' PLAN REVIEW ENVIRONMENTAL E E T), FOR CONVERSION F AN EXISTING ,00 UAR FOOT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BUILDING WITH SERVICEBAYS, INTO CONVENIENCE ST E,A NEW CANOPY OVER THE LINE PUMPS, SALE OF BEER AND WINE (ABC TYPE 0 LICENSE) AND AN AUTOMATEDTELLER CHIN INSIDE THE BUILDING T 29421 WESTERN AVENUE, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST C E F WESTERN AVENUEE T STREET. WHEREAS, on August 2, 2005, FiedlerGroup, representing the landowner Willian and Kirsten Michaelis, submitted Case No. ZON2005-00405, applications for an Environmental Assessment, Conditional Use Permit, Variance, Sign Permit and Site Plan Review, for a property at 29421 Western Avenue located at the northwest corner of Western Avenue and Crestwood Street; and, WHEREAS, on September 1, 2005, the project was deemed incomplete by Staff pending the submittal of additional information; and, WHEREAS, on May 12, 2006, upon submittal of all required information,the project was deemed complete by Staff; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulation, Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f)(Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes prepared an Initial Study and determined that with appropriate mitigation, there is no substantial evidence that the approval of ZON2005- 00405 would result in a significant adverse effect upon the environment and, therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and notice of same was given in the manner required by law; and, WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos .Verdes Development Code, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on June 27, 2006, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the intended uses because the site exceeds the minimum lot area for gasoline stations, and it currently operates as a gasoline station and automobile repair facility. Further, the proposed project complies with the CG Zoning setback requirements and the project will exceed the minimum landscaping requirements. P.C. Resolution No. 2006-30 Page 1 Section 2: The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use. The City's Public Works Department reviewed the proposed project and concluded that the proposed project did not necessitate a traffic impact study since Western Avenue is a State highway. Further, no response from CalTrans resulted from the City's request for input on the proposed project. Lastly, the subject property is adjacent to a major arterial and a controlled intersection. Section 3: There will be no significant adverse effect on adjacent property or the permitted use because mitigation measures have been incorporated that reduce the potential impacts of aesthetics, and hazards and hazardous materials. With regards to the sale of beer and wine, the sales will be required to operate within Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) standards and regulations. Further, since the convenience store hours will be from 6:00 a.m.to 10:00 p.m., the sale of beer and wine will not be conducted after 10:00 p.m. or through a teller window. Section 4: The proposed project, including the proposed off-sale beer and wine, is consistent with the General Plan's Commercial Retail land use designation of the site, and with the types of land uses permitted within the Development Code's Commercial-General District and Automotive Service Station Overlay Control District. Section 5: The site is located within the Automotive Service Station Overlay Control District(OC-4). The gasoline station use complies with the applicable guidelines of the OC-4. Further, with exception to the landscape setback and spacing development standards, the proposed convenience store will be consistent with the other development standards of this section. Section 6: Conditions have been imposed to protect the health, safety and general welfare,which includes setback and buffers,fencing, landscaping, maintenance of structures, and other conditions, as identified in Exhibit "B" hereto. Section 7: The proposed convenience store will not contribute to the undesirable proliferation of such uses. This convenience store in the immediate neighborhood will not result in a proliferation of such a use since the proposed convenience store will result in the only convenience store in the immediate area, with the next closest convenience store being located over 500-feet away. Section 8: The design of the proposed convenience store respects the visual character of the site and enhances the surrounding area since the design of the building is consistent with the architecture called out by Western Avenue Specific Plan IV. Further, the visual character of the area will improve since an automotive repair building and use will be replaced with a building and use that blends with the variety of retail uses in the area. Section 9: The operation of this use, and in particular, the sale of alcoholic beverages will not adversely affect adjacent or nearby places of worship, schools, parks, recreation centers, playgrounds or residences. The proposed project has been designed and conditioned through appropriate mitigation measures and conditions to avoid adverse affects to nearby schools, parks, residences, and places of worship. Further, the sales of P.C. Resolution No. 2006-30 Page 2 beer and wine is subject to the regulations and requirements of the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). action 1 : Since the convenience store will be located within three hundred feet of a residential zoning district boundary, the convenience store will operate from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. Further, no alcoholic beverages will be sold after 10:00 p.m. action 11: The proposed concurrent sale of beer and wine and motor fuel will not be significantly detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community since the purchase of gasoline will not be contingent upon the purchase of beer and wine. Further, the sale of beer and wine will be an ancillary use, occupying approximately 30 square feet of the cooler area. Lastly, the sale of beer and wine is subject to the regulations and requirements of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Section 12: A public hearing notice was published in a newspaper of general circulation and given to owners of property within five hundred feet of the project, to all persons requesting notice, to any affected homeowner associations, and the applicant pursuant to Chapter 17.80 (Hearing Notice and Appeal Procedures). The Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated to the County Recorder for a posting and comment period of at least twenty days (as required by CEQA), and circulated to all appropriate public agencies. Further, the City mailed notices to 63 property owners within a 500-foot radius from the subject property, and subsequently published the notice in the Peninsula News on June 3, 2006. Section 13: The proposed concurrent sale of alcohol and motor fuels conforms to the regulations of this section, Section 17.76.090(Automobile service stations)and Article 11 (Commercial Districts, Chapters 17.12 through 17.22) of this title. Since the subject property is located within the Automotive Service Station Overlay Control District (OC-4), the gasoline station use complies with most of the applicable guidelines of the OC-4. For the guidelines in which the use will not be in compliance, the Planning Commission has the discretion to allow deviations to these guidelines. Since development of the convenience store is subject to the development standards set forth by Section 17.76.080. The convenience store will be consistent with the development standards of this section, including building orientation, design and parking, and the necessary convenience store findings have been made in a positive manner. Section 14: The subject property contains exceptional circumstances and conditions that do not apply to other properties. Specifically, the subject property is located downslope of the adjoining residential properties, which allows for views of the harbor area over the subject property and building, and results in a building that is not readily visible. Further, to convert the area behind the building to landscaping would cause the relocation of the trash enclosure, mechanical equipment and Healy clean air tank,which would impact other areas of the site and be more visible to the residences and public right-of-way. Furthermore, the subject property does not have sufficient depth from Western Avenue to construct a new building due to the existing configuration of the gasoline pumps and underground storage tanks. Other commercial properties are not developed with a gasoline station and do not have the same constraints as the subject property with regards to placement of a new building. Lastly, the exiting building location was permitted in 1972, P.C. Resolution No. 2006-30 Page 3 and has operated as an automobile repair building, which is a more intense use than a convenience store due to the noise and the handling of hazardous materials that is inherent with a automobile repair building. Section 15: The variance would not grant a special privilege not enjoyed by others in the area or zone since other properties do not have the constraints that are inherent in the subject property. Specifically, the building and retaining wall were approved in 1972, whereby the retaining wall excavated into the transitional slope along the rear to accommodate the automobile repair building, and to accommodate a trash enclosure and storage area for the building. The variance is necessary to allow the existing building to remain and be utilized, since the parcel does not have sufficient depth from Western Avenue to accommodate a new building due to the existing site layout. Section 16: The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the residences upslope of the subject property that are on MacArthur Street since mitigation measures and conditions have been incorporated into the project such that the convenience store will not be materially detrimental or injurious to the public in the area in its current location. Further, discontinuing the use of the automobile repair facility also improves the area since there will be no handling of hazardous materials in the building, or storage of used tires and other products behind the building. Furthermore, if the building were located 100-feet from the residential structures, a greater portion of the building would be visible from these residences, and it would be located 20-feet from Western Avenue, which would dominate the streetscape. Lastly, the existing landscaping and topography of the site screen the facility so that it is not apparent, and an additional 7-feet of landscaping would not create any significant benefit that would outweigh the cost of relocating the trash enclosure, mechanical equipment and the Healy tank to a location that is more apparent from Western Avenue and adjacent residences. Section 17: The project, including the proposed ancillary uses of off-sale beer and wine and the ATM, are consistent with the General Plan's Commercial Retail land use designation of the site, and with the types of land uses permitted within the Development Code's Commercial-General District and Automotive Service Station Overlay Control District. According to the General Plan, commercial zones are designated to accommodate services that serve the immediate neighborhood while preserving the character of the Peninsula. The General Plan states that commercial activities comprise approximately 1.7% of the total land area within the City. Consistent with the Urban Element of the General Plan, the proposed development will eliminate an automobile repair use that contains service bays that are oriented towards the street. Further, since the property is within the Western Avenue Specific Plan,the project will be consistent with the architectural style envisioned by the Plan. Section 18: The proposal is consistent with the sign standards of the City's Development Code,while the portion of the monument sign within the intersection visibility triangle will not create an impact to vehicular or pedestrian circulation. Section 19. Any interested person aggrieved by this decision or by any portion of this decision may appeal to the City Council. Pursuant to Chapter 17.80 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in writing and P.C. Resolution No. 2006-30 Page 4 with the appropriate appeal fee, no later than fifteen (4 5) days following the date of the Planning Commission's final action. Section 20: For the foregoing reasons and based on information and findings contained in the Staff Reports, minutes, and records of the proceedings, the Planning Commission hereby approves Case No. ZOt42005-00405 for a Conditional Use Permit, Variance, Sign Permit and Site Plan Review, subject to the conditions of approval contained in the attached Exhibit "B", attached hereto and made a part hereof, which are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
