03/11/2013 the potential environmental effects of a 16-pumpgasoline station. A Use Permit was previously approved for the 12-pump gasoline station, and the expansion to 20 fuel pumps would be an expansion of the existing use. b. The expanded use is compatible with the surrounding land uses comprised of commercial and industrial uses including Orchard Supply Hardware to the west, Safe Keep Storage to the east, Caltrain/UPRR railroad tracks to the south, and Sigona's market to the north. The Use Permit Modification is limited to the gasoline station expansion and resulting reconfiguration of the existing on-site parking spaces and internal vehicular circulation to accommodate the gasoline station expansion. c. The use and its associated structures and facilities will not be detrimental to the public health or safety, the general welfare, or the environment. The expansion of the gasoline station from 12 fuel pumps to 20 fuel pumps would not result in any new or more severe significant environmental impacts beyond those previously addressed in the 2007 EIR and Addendum No. 1,including noise, traffic, and air quality. d. The use and facilities will not adversely affect or conflict with adjacent uses or impede the normal development of surrounding property. The proposed use would be an expansion of a previously approved gas station use, with the expansion of fuel pumps expected to minimize vehicle queuing and wait times resulting in a reduction in impacts to air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, although the revised concept site plan dated November 9, 2012 would result in five (5) fewer parking spaces, there is adequate parking supply on the project site as document in the parking study; therefore, no new impacts to parking have been identified, compared to the previous Project. e. Adequate public and private facilities such as utilities, landscaping, parking spaces and traffic circulation measures are or will be provided for the proposed use. Adequate public and private facilities would be provided for the proposed use in that the demand for public services would be served by current facilities. Payment of development impact fees would allow school services to provide adequate services, and annual review of service levels for fire and police services would ensure acceptable levels are maintained. All private facilities including landscaping, parking and traffic circulation management would be provided and maintained by the Applicant in accordance with the City's requirements. f. Other findings required to be made in specific zoning districts as set forth in the Zoning Code. There are no additional findings that need to be made for the proposed use. Section 6. Architectural Permit AP2011-43: The City Council finds that: a.
