SUMMARY:

The applicant is requesting the development of a truck stop with a fuel station and convenience store in a property zoned Light Industrial (L-I). Section 18.40.20(C)(1) of the City of San Luis Zoning Ordinance allows truck stops within the L-I zoning district with a conditional use permit , and Section 18.40.20(C)(10) allows commercial uses compatible with the purpose of this district.

The subject property is located in the Magrino Industrial Park , and all the adjacent properties are zoned L-I.

According to the site plan submitted by the applicant, the project will be developed in two phases. The first phase will be the construction of the truck stop area, and the second phase will be the gas station and
convenience store. Since the project has the potential to generate a large number of traffic trips per day, staff is recommending a traffic study in accordance with the adopted Public Works Standards. The developer must provide all the necessary improvements required by the traffic study during the construction of any phase of this proposed project.

REVIEWS:
As part of the review process, all land use cases are reviewed by various City and outside agencies. As required by state statute, staff sent notification letters to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed project (four (4) letters). The city has not received any other significant concerns or objections from the various review agencies or adjacent property owners.

CITIZEN REVIEW MEETING:
As required by state statute and City Code, a Citizen Review meeting was held at City Hall on November 1, 2022, at the City Hall Council Chambers at 6:00 p.m. The intent of this meeting was to allow the public to learn about the project, ask questions and express any comments. Nobody from the public was present during the meeting.

The applicant has provided the information and materials necessary for the review of this Conditional Use Permit request.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 2022-0596 subject to the following conditions:
 
1. Development shall comply with the City of San Luis Zoning Regulations, Building Code Requirements, Public Works Standards, and any applicable regulations for industrial development.

2. The applicant/owner shall submit a Trip Generation Memo for the proposed development to determine if the proposed use generates 100 or more trips during the peak hour. If 100 or more trips are generated during the peak hour the applicant/owner shall submit a traffic study, during the building permit review, and all improvements recommended by the traffic study, that are caused by the proposed development, shall be constructed by the developer to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director.
