General Plan elements. The proposal meets, or will meet, all zoning re- quirements when conditions of approval are met. Mr. Aguilera then des- cribed the proposed service station, the design, and its location within the proposed site. Mr. Aguilera advised during the Planning Commission public hearing several residents protested the gas station, and a petition containing 22 names in protest was submitted. Mr. Aguilera stated the Planning Commission denied the gas station for the proposed "Stop -N -Go" convenience store. Mr. Aguilera concluded if Council agrees with the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny File Index No. C-19-88, adoption of Resolution No. R-126-88 would be in order. Mayor Gonzales asked if anyone present desired to speak on this matter. Speaking in favor: Mr. C. Samuel Blick, Attorney representing the applicant, stated the shopp- ing center was approved, and the gas pump islands were actually designated. The project was approved by the Planning Commission and the project is in conformance with the General Plan. Attorney Blick stated the only issue remaining was whether gas pumps would actually be included later on. At- torney Blick said the project is safe, it could not be made more safe, the City Engineer has stated this plan does flow and work; the traffic is not a detriment. Mr. Don Hertel, A.I.A., Hertel Thompson Architects, stated there are not too many service stations, the other stations in the area tend to service the freeway traffic. This "Stop -N -Go" center will serve the immediate res- idential area, it will not exacerbate the traffic. Mr. Hertel said there is ample parking and stacking because the pumps are located in the middle of the project. Sandra Hagen, Stop -N -Go Center representative, reported that they had studied the area and are sure the Center will work at this location. Speaking in opposition: Mr. Joe Alberts, 1150 Meadow Lane, #45, submitted letters of protest and stated that an EiR should have been required. The residents are protest- ing the increase in traffic, it is not in the best interest of the commun- ity, the driveway ingress and egress directly across from the residential area and the fire station that is going in across the street.
