WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Architectural Review Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. The Architectural Review Commission hereby grants final approval to the project (ARCH -0572-2017), based on the following findings: The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of those working or residing in the vicinity because the project is consistent with the site's zoning designation, and will be subject to conformance with all applicable building, fire, and safety codes. 2. Consistent with the Community Design Guidelines, the project is designed with careful consideration of the site character and constraints, and minimizes changes to natural features, rather than altering a site to accommodate a stock building plan. The car wash is consistent with the Community Design Guidelines for service stations because site planning successfully accommodates anticipated automobile circulation, driveway cuts are limited to one for the site, and wash bays are adequately screened from the major street frontage and residential properties. 4. The car wash is consistent with Community Design Guidelines for service stations because building design is not corporate or franchise "stock" design, structures on site are architecturally consistent and related to an overall theme, high-quality building materials are utilized, and the flat roofs are consistent with an established theme in the site vicinity. 5, The project design maintains consistency with the City's Community Design Guidelines by providing architectural interest and an attractive style which complements the character and scale of the existing neighborhood.
