FINDINGS Findings for Deviation Application No. DC-97-2 1. Not detrimental. The granting of the Deviation will not be materially detrimental to other properties or land uses in the area. The granting of a 49% deviation from the side yard standard (from 20 ' to 1211) would not be materially detrimental to other properties or land uses in the area. The site ' s nearest neighbor, Subway, is situated approximately 40 ' from the proposed care wash location. Additionally, the car wash building is set back 95 ' from the street front property line, making it 35 ' behind the front of the adjacent Subway building. All of the mechanical equipment used in conjunction with the car wash facility will be contained within the building designed for the purpose, thereby minimizing any need for additional screening. 2 . Exceptional Circumstances. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended uses that do not apply to other properties in the same zoning district in the vicinity. Conditions different from other properties are crated by combining gasoline sales, a car wash, and a food mart all on one site. In order to maintain cross-property vehicular circulation, promote unrestrained pump access and allow for the maximum parking spaces at the front of the food mart, the most appropriate location for the car wash building is along a vehicle path which follows the outside edges of the site. Situating the car wash further than twelve feet from the side yard severely effects on site circulation and causes potential safety hazards. 3 . Denial of Privileges. The strict application of the regulation depraves the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity. Each of the contiguous properties have "cross property" vehicular access. Denial of this deviation request would severely hinder the "privilege" of cross site circulation that these properties enjoy. 4 . Consistency. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan; and applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and special Purpose Plan; and any other applicable plan adopted by the County.
