PC-2004-46 RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE APPROVED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BERNAL CORNERS, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-61 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission requested a review of the approved conditional use permit for Bernal Corners, a self-service gasoline station located at 1875 Valley Avenue (southeast corner of Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue) with a convenience market, quick-service restaurant, and carwash to consider hours of operation, operation of the drive-through carwash, noise, perimeter fencing, and other issues; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-C-O (Planned Unit Development - Commercial-Office) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of July 28, 2004, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this project; and WHEREAS, the environmental review for the proposed project was undertaken as part of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Bernal Property Specific Plan, which was certified by the City Council on August 28, 2000, and modifying the existing conditional use permit in response to the neighborhood concerns would be within the context of the Final Environmental Impact Report and would mitigate identified impacts; and WHEREAS, the Plarming Commission made the following findings: 1. As modified, the location of the proposed conditional use is in accordance with the objectives ofthe zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The noise analysis prepared for the project shows that certain aspects of the operation ofthis use exceeds the 60 dBA property-line noise standard required for this facility. Therefore, to mitigate the noise, an eight-foot tall sound attenuation fence has been required. With the installation of the fence, this finding can be made. 2. As modified, the proposed location ofthe conditional use and the conditions under which the conditional uses would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. The noise analysis prepared for the project shows that certain aspects of the operation of this use exceeds the 60 dBA property-line noise standard required for this facility. Therefore, to mitigate the noise, an eight-foot tall sound attenuation fence has been required. In addition, other modifications to the use permit, including hours, signage, and operations, will address concerns about the use. With the installation of the fence and other modifications to the use permit, this finding can be made.
