City Council Meeting, July 11, 2023 Page 2 The commission discussed the proposal, the staff report and recommendations, and the comments provided at the hearing. The Commission then voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, with three specific modifications to the conditions of approval offered by staff. The applicant expressed support for these changes. The staff conditions, and the recommended changes in redline, are listed as follows: 1.The applicant adds a structured enclosure of colored block maintenance free fencing consisting of complementary materials surrounding (at least on three sides) the proposed common equipment shown on the plan, at least as tall as the equipment, to screen views and potential noise issues from adjoining residential property. This fencing should be supplemented by a planting of shrubs surrounding the enclosure. 2.The applicant verifies that the additional noise generated by the equipment will be dissipated to no more than existing levels at the property line with the proposed enclosure. 3.The applicant considers locating shall locate the equipment and enclosure to the west to maximize its distance from the east property line, but no closer to Stinson Boulevard than the westerly building wall. 4.The final location should be separated from the paved circulation spaces by concrete curb. 5.The applicant provides a site plan, to scale, showing parking spaces for employees and customers who park while drying their vehicles or performing other details. A total of five such spaces should be adequate, in addition to the vacuum station locations. 6.The applicant should verify that lighting of the vacuum stations will not result in a violation of the City Code lighting standards - .5 footcandles at the east property line, and 1.0 footcandles at the adjoining streets to the south and west. The applicant shall add side shielding as described by the applicant’s representative to each light bar to accomplish this requirement. 7.Comments and recommendations of the Planning Commission following the public hearing. Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the Commercial District as a baseline. In summary, the Comprehensive Plan supports mixed uses in this area, and Commercial uses are part of that mix. The proposed application would, with appropriate conditions, facilitate that purpose for the subject property. The conditions recommended by staff, and clarified by Planning Commission, mitigate potential noise and light impacts from the new vacuum facilities. 18
