Public Hearing: PUD-102/P14-0014, MD Roesbery, Inc. — Consider introduction of ordinances to rezone 0.776-acres for a Valero service station at 3192 Santa Rita Road from C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) to the PUD-C (Planned Unit Development - Commercial), and a PUD Development Plan to convert 1,752 sq. ft. of the existing 2,634 sq. ft. auto service building to a convenience store and the remaining floor area to a drive-through carwash; and approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate a convenience store with the sale of alcoholic beverages and a drive-through carwash in the existing service station Planning Manager Weinstein presented the staff report, stating that the applicant is requesting to rezone the property located at 3192 Santa Rita Road to a PUD-C district and adopt a PUD Development Plan to allow for the development and operation of a 7-Eleven convenience store with alcohol sales, in conjunction with a carwash and existing gas station. He reviewed the 0.776-acre site, located at the southeast quadrant of Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas and surrounded by commercial uses to the east and south, Fire Station No. 3 the north and residential development across Santa Rita Road to the west. Beyond the immediate commercial area are residential uses to the east and northeast as well as Fairlands Elementary School. Mr. Weinstein provided the project background, stating that the existing Valero gas station and automotive service facility were constructed in approximately 1989 with the site operating as a gas station for over 40 years. The applicant desires to close the existing automotive service building and construct a convenience market with drive-through carwash, while retaining the existing gas station. The site's current C-N zoning does not allow a gas station with convenience market or drive-through carwash. Furthermore, non PUD districts which do allow a gas station with convenience store do not allow the sale of alcoholic beverages. The applicant is therefore requesting rezoning to a PUD-C district and Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through carwash and convenience store with alcohol sales. The applicant's initial request for 24-hour convenience store operations was ultimately modified to limit store hours to between 5 A.M. and 1 A.M. following an initial review and workshop by the Planning Commission. The uses allowed within the PUD-C district are those that permitted and conditionally permitted in the C-N district, with the additions of a convenience market with or without the sale of alcoholic beverages. Drive-through carwashes are conditionally permitted uses in conjunction with a gas station. The proposed PUD Development Plan would involve the reconstruction of the existing automotive service building into a convenience market, the drive-through carwash and other physical changes to the site.
