State law prohibits selling alcohol between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. (per California Business and Professions Code Section 25631). The proposed hours that alcoholic beverages would be sold at the market are consistent with the State law. However, if the sale of alcohol from the convenience market were to become problematic, the Director of Community Development can refer the Conditional Use Permit to the Planning Commission for subsequent review at a public hearing. Staff has added several conditions to the Conditional Use Permit addressing the sale of beer and wine from the convenience market (e.g., training for the convenience market operators in dealing with inebriated drivers). The applicant concurs with these requirements. The existing gas station currently operates from 5:00 a.m. — 12:00 midnight. With the proposed project, the gas station would close at 1:00 a.m. instead of 12:00 midnight to coincide with the convenience market hours. Carwash: There currently are five drive-through and one non drive-through carwash facilities in the City. Table 4 below lists the location and the hours of operation of the existing carwash facilities.

To respond to this concern, staff reviewed the operation of the existing Chevron drive- through carwash at Bernal Corners located at 1875 Valley Avenue as this carwash, similar to the proposed project, is located in close proximity to residential uses on East Gate Way in the Walnut Hills Neighborhood. The Bernal Corners carwash operates 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. When the carwash first opened, staff received complaints from neighbors concerning noise from the carwash. The operator of the carwash was required to modify the facility by adding a door facing the residential development to contain noise within the carwash facility when it is in use. Later, the operator changed the mechanical equipment and added a second door. These modifications reduced the noise level.
