and construction of an approximately 6,260-square foot automobile detailing facility. The existing driveway from Old Santa Rita Road will be closed and replaced with standard curb and gutter. A new driveway will be constructed slightly to the north of the existing driveway to provide access to the site. The new single-story building, approximately 18-feet 8-inches in height, consists of 8 detail bays, office areas, employee facilities, and restroom facilities. The remainder of the site will be improved with parking spaces. A ramp is proposed near the eastern boundary of the site to provide access between the subject property and the adjacent East Bay BMW dealership and service facility located at 4350 Rosewood Drive. Landscaping will be provided along the northern, western, and southern boundaries of the site. London plane street trees will be planted along the western frontage to match the other London plane street trees along Old Santa Rita Road. Attachment 2 (Exhibit B) to this report includes the site plan and floor plan of the proposed building. The proposed building will be used for detailing of vehicles (e.g. removing packaging of vehicles and preparing them for sale at the dealership location). Related activities, such as touch-up painting or buffing and polishing of vehicles will also take place in the building. No servicing or washing of vehicles will take place at the subject site. An employee of the dealership will drive the vehicles between the sites via the ramp proposed in the eastern area of the site. No customers will come to the subject site. A total of 49 parking spaces are proposed and these parking spaces will be used to store vehicles that are waiting to be detailed. Hours of operation are proposed to be 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday — Saturday and are intended to be consistent with those of the service department for the East Bay BMW dealership. Between 12 and 15 employees that work at the East Bay BMW dealership will work at the subject facility.
