Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes December 15, 2020 Page 7 operation would be easily within that limitation, but he would have to check on that specific 1 timing. 2 3 Commissioner Rude asked if there were some sort of Conditional Use Permit issue that could 4 be limiting the hours to certain time periods. He thought that might be a practical solution to 5 the sound issue. 6 7 Commissioner Rude also asked what a permanent canopy is. Mr. Grittman explained that 8 would be something staff would need to resolve with the applicant and would need to meet 9 the City’s typical building standards. Staff’s intent with the language is that it would be 10 constructed in a way that would have the affect of blocking light and mitigating noise out of 11 the site to the west and north. Commissioner Rude suggested making it much like a garbage 12 enclosure and would have to be made out of similar material as the main building. 13 14 Commissioner Rude asked if the applicant would be willing to do all of the recommendations 15 made by City Staff and move the project forward as proposed. 16 17 Mr. Tom Archambault indicated as he looked at the ten criteria from staff, there is not one that 18 seemed to be out of the realm of possibility. The largest change to the design would be the 19 canopy and canopies come for the vacuum stations in many different shapes, forms, and 20 materials. He thought even with that being sort of a larger hurdle, it is not insurmountable, 21 and they would be willing to proceed with the criteria laid out to get this approved. 22 23 Commissioner Rude proposed the Commission add something about the hours of operation 24 and the materials of the canopy if this will be recommended to the City Council. 25 26 Commissioner Morita noted regarding the land use itself, it sounded like this land is approved 27 for a car wash, the car wash itself is not a blocked business and the goal of this 28 recommendation by staff is to help mitigate any of the risks that could impact the homeowners 29 next door. He wondered if that was correct. Mr. Grittman stated he would generally agree 30 with Commissioner Rude’s formulation and although it is not impossible or required to 31 approve it, there is a very high burden on the City where if a CUP is denied the burden is that 32 the City needs to find that the impacts of the use are not mitigatable. This is an eligible use on 33 the site with an understanding that the Commission has the authority and probably the 34 requirement to impose conditions that make it no worse than what a permitted use might be 35 eligible to do on that property. 36 37 Chairperson Westrick indicated Mr. Tom Archambault cited that he is working with his 38 vendor and the vendor makes vacuums at lower decibels. She wondered if this is something 39 being investigated as part of working with his vendor on this. Mr. Tom Archambault 40 indicated it was and as previously stated, they are looking at noise mitigation as it pertains to 41 the blowers and also at it pertains to the vacuum cleaners and will likely select the lowest 42 volume vacuum that they can get. 43 44 Commissioner Socha asked if Mr. Tom Archambault would be objectionable to the 45 Commission adding criteria that limits hours to a specific time of 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, which 46 7
