ZONE. The Assistant Community Development Director provided background information on this item. The noise consultant, Fred Greve, Mestre Greve Associates, stated that he was hired directly by the City and not through the applicant. He stated that ambient noise measurements were done in the neighborhood north of the proposed project in four sites. Three of the sites were measured at mid-day around noon and the fourth site later in the evening about 7:00 p.m. Mr. Greve stated that noise levels from Cerritos Avenue and Valley View Street were audible in the residential neighborhood. Mr. Greve stated that noise level measurements from a similar car wash were adjusted to the Cypress site for distance and inclusion of the block wall. The noise levels were less than the City Ordinance requirements and lower than the ambient noise levels measured in the residential neighborhood. It was their conclusion that the proposed 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 213 JULY 12, 2004 carwash tunnel would not result in an impact on the residential area with one mitigation measure to not allow any drying activities or any similar activities outside the exit end of the tunnel. The public hearing was opened. The applicant, San Hassan, Hassan & Sons, Inc., stated that the architect, Richard Stupin, and the car wash manufacturer, Mike Montrano, were available to answer any questions. Council Member Sondhi asked about the maintenance of the silently opening/closing door of the car wash. Mr. Hassan stated that the manufacturer will be on site once a month to maintain all of the equipment. Council Member McCoy asked about the construction of the door.

The following spoke in opposition to the project expansion: Bob Turner, Cypress Terry Wightman, Cypress Robert Bethel, Cypress Darielle Tom, Cypress Jay McCall, Cypress Laurie Wightman, Cypress Brenda Green, Cypress Fred Speckmeyer, Cypress John Clement, Cypress Mr. Hassan stated that the equipment and machinery will be enclosed in a mechanical room on the south side of the building. It is more efficient and has a shorter cycle compared to the equipment at the Redondo Beach car wash. The car wash manufacturer, Mike Montrano, stated that the door proposed for the site is belt-driven with nylon wheels making it a virtually silent door. Any noise coming from the car wash will be toward Cerritos Avenue. Council Member McGill asked about compressors and equipment. Mr. Montrano stated that the equipment room will accommodate all peripheral equipment besides the actual car wash itself. The public hearing was closed. The Assistant Community Development Director stated that the car wash will not be a destination trip; it is something that occurs with people who are at the mini-mart already or at the gas station. Mayor Keenan asked about the power poles. The Assistant Community Development Director stated that undergrounding is a standard condition and that Edison and others have private property with easement rights. Undergrounding of utilities is referring to the point of connection for the service to the building. Poles and transmission lines that do not belong to the property owner cannot be required to be placed underground. 5 2 1 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 12, 2004 Mayor Keenan asked about reviewing and monitoring of Conditional Use Permits. The Assistant Community Development Director stated that prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, each one of the involved City departments must go through the mitigation measures independently and sign off that conditions have been completed or not. After opening, the project manager is responsible for maintaining the Conditional Use Permit for the location. Code Enforcement also assists with complaints and issues. Mr. Greve stated that they use equipment for noise measurement that is certified yearly and calibrated. He stated that the Redondo Beach car wash is closer to the homes than the proposed Cypress site. Mr. Greve stated that the City's ordinance addresses and regulates both continuous and maximum sound levels of a short duration. Council Member McGill asked about the silent door of th,e car wash. Mr. Greve stated that it appears to be as good or better than the car wash in Redondo Beach. Council Member McCoy asked about the differing measurements on the proposed plans and the noise consultant's plans. Mr. Greve stated that the plans he based his noise study on show a car wash tunnel length of 49 feet but that it is his understanding that it has been changed to 41 feet. This appears to move the car wash exit tunnel a little further from the residences and would reduce his noise projections by just a fraction of a decibel. Council Member McGill thanked everyone for their comments. He stated that the issue of traffic accidents is of concern to him and suggested continuing the item to address this issue and to update the noise study for Bedford Court. Council Member McCoy stated that he would like to SHe accurate measurements that are consistent with the plan being presented.
