G. Public Comments H. Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration I. Signed Petition from the Applicant J. July 31, 2014 Neighborhood Meeting Sign-In Sheet K. Convenience Market Data Sheet from the Applicant L. Location Map and Noticing Map M. Zoning Unit Map BACKGROUND The project site is the existing Valero service station site located in the southeast quadrant of Santa Rita Road and W. Las Positas Boulevard. The gas station, along with an automobile service building, was constructed in 1989 for Exxon Mobile. Mr. Michael Roesbery, the property owner and business operator of the gas station and automobile service business, wishes to convert the existing automobile service building to a convenience market with a drive-through carwash facility while retaining the existing gas station operation. The convenience market would be a 7-Eleven store that would sell alcoholic beverages. The project site is located in the Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) District. The C-N District does not allow a gas station with a convenience market or a drive-through car wash. Furthermore, the non-PUD zoning districts where a gas station with convenience store is allowed (the Freeway Commercial and Service Commercial Districts) do not allow the sale of alcoholic beverages. To pursue the proposed uses (convenience market with the sale of alcoholic beverages and a drive-through carwash), the applicant requests the zoning of the site be changed from the current C-N District to a Planned Unit Development — Commercial (PUD- C) District. The proposed PUD-C zoning would require a Conditional Use Permit for the convenience market with the sale of alcoholic beverages and drive-through carwash. As such, the applicant also requests the approval of a conditional use permit in order to accommodate the proposed uses. September 25, 2013, Planning Commission Work Session In order to receive early feedback from the Planning Commission and any interested individuals regarding the proposed project, a Planning Commission work session was held on September 25, 2013. The Planning Commission provided the following comments on the work session discussion points (additional comments made by the Commission are in the attached minutes — Exhibit F): Discussion Point No. 1: Would it be appropriate to rezone the site from the current C-N District to a PUD-C (Planned Unit Development —Commercial) District in order to allow a convenience market with the sale of alcoholic beverages and a drive-through carwash in conjunction with the existing gas station?
