Commissioner Codding asked where the deveioper stands with fhe gas station regarding proposed architectural upgrades. Ms. Riordan replied that it cannot be fegally required by the devefoper and cannot be made part of the Precise Plan, but it is in the developer's best interest to make aesthetic improvements to the site fronting this project. The develaper has approached the gas statian owner regarding the improvements. Commissioner Gee stated that there are three potential parts to the action, the approval, the developer working with neighborhood association and the Car Wash Use Permit. Are the actions separate or should they be done together? Chair Seybert stated that they shduld not be tied tagether. We can encourage those ather two things to happen, but we should move forward and take action on the two items befors us. Assistant City Attorney Aranda stated that the review of the Use permi# of the car wash and the continuing discussion between the developer and the neighborhaod association on potential traffic calming issues some of which may be on private streets should be separate. These items are considered future items and i#cannot be part of the conditions. Ms. Rioraan suggested that we monitor traffic, do a baseline study now and at full occupancy. Page 9 of 12
