Mr. Pavan noted that the Commission commented on the types of sundries that would be provided. He noted that the goods carried would be closer to that carried by Trader Joe's, and added that staff believes the products to be carried met the concerns expressed by the Commission. Staff was comfortable that the applicant would live up to that promise. He noted that the applicant had proceeded diligently to contact non-traditional restaurants, such as Noah's Bagels, Starbucks, Peet's Coffee, and so forth. Although fast food restaurant is a permitted use in this project, the applicant was pursuing more non- traditional restaurant uses in accordance to the Commission's concerns. Mr. Pavan noted that the carwash' s proposed hours of operation of 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. are supported by staff. Staff conducted a noise analysis of the carwash, based upon the event of the drier mechanism, not a 24-hour day-night average.

The ambient noise, based upon the noise report done in the Bernal Properties' EIR, was between 65 to 70 decibels LDN, or approximately 67 decibels as estimated by staff.

Staff could not support that item. Mr. Pavan noted that with respect to green building standards, the project had 19 points on the LEED scale, which was short of the certified level. He noted that by the nature of the use, service stations could not achieve a certified level. He noted that the applicant would provide HardiPlank siding made of recycled wood, metal framing consisting of 50% to 75% recycled metal. The applicant would also provide the means by which photovoltaics may be applied to the building. Mr. Pavan stated that staff performed a 1,000-foot notice of the project, and received letters in support. He added that he had received one call of concern from Mr. Craig Moore, 1693 East Gate Way, regarding the sale of beer and wine, and potential noise from the carwash. He noted that Mr. Moore was present at the meeting. Staff would like to change four recommendations: 1. The fence height between the drive-through lane and the property line is currently three feet and staff would like to increase it to 54 inches.
