and convenience store open for 24 hours, as well. He reiterated his request to operate the carwash on a limited basis until the fence is installed. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. The Planning Commission recessed for a break at 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Arkin reconvened the meeting at 9:05 p.m. Commissioner Sullivan presented his recollection of the development and approval process of the Bernal Property, emphasizing his original opposition to the establishment of the commercial center. He stated that the site was afreeway-oriented rather than neighborhood-oriented development and that the carwash, the drive-through, and the 24-hour service station and convenience store were not compatible with the neighborhood. He indicated that he was in favor of reducing the hours of operation, curtailing or eliminating the carwash and drive-through, and removing the walkway to the center. He noted that aneight-foot tall fence would solve the noise issue and expressed concern regarding its aesthetics and visibility at the gateway to the community. Commissioner Fox stated that she was in favor of reduced hours of operation and the installation of a landscaped masonry wall rather than a wood fence. She expressed concern regarding safety issues of the carwash and improving the quality of life for the neighbors. She added that while she was not particularly in favor of the drive-through _ and carwash, she did not want to revoke the use permit without first trying other things. Commissioner Arkin indicated that he could support the reduction of the hours of operation but not the elimination of some of the uses. He was in favor of installing an eight-foot tall fence and suggested that the design be similar to the masonry wall along the eastern end of Stoneridge Drive. He expressed concern about safety issues in the carwash and suggested that a motion sensor be installed such that any unauthorized use of the carwash such as children entering the area would set off an alarm. He proposed that the parking restrictions be enforced along the residential streets to prevent trucks and buses from parking there. After discussing the various measures proposed by staff to mitigate the neighborhood issues caused by the operation of the service station, the Commissioners took a straw vote and agreed on the following: • Self-service gasoline station and convenience market to remain open 24 hours. • An eight-foot tall masonry wall with landscaping matching the design of the wall along the eastern end of Stoneridge Drive at Newton Drive, to be constructed on the east and south sides of the site, generally from the entrance to the carwash to the exit of the Jack-in-the-Box drive-through. • Jack-in-the-Box drive-through hours to be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekends; removable bollards to be placed at the drive-through entry at close of drive-through service; employee on - duty to keep signed daily log of times when bollards are set up.
