The expanded use will be consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan and any zoning regulations for the subject location. The expanded use would be located within an existing developed gasoline station site. The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Commercial-Regional which allows for the development of general retail, commercial services, restaurants, vehicle sales and service, and other similar business activities. The site is also zoned Industrial- Restricted, which promotes viable industrial areas by providing a district for the location of selected industries, wholesale establishments, specified retail establishments, and heavy commercial uses which can congregate together. Fueling centers are permitted in the IR Zoning District subject to approval of a Use Permit. The 2007 EIR evaluated ATTY/RES0.2816/COSTCO RESO.#15249 REV:03-12-13 VR MUFF#603 Page 3 of 9
