12105 World Trade Drive

The City of San Diego is overseeing the development of a 3,363 square-foot car wash located on a 1.0-acre undeveloped and previously graded parcel at 12105 World Trade Drive, San Diego, CA 92128. This project, identified as PRJ-1076451, is situated within the CC-3-5 zone and the Carmel Mountain Ranch Community Plan area, subject to various overlays including the Airport Land Use Community Plan and Residential Tandem Parking Overlay Zone. The scope of work includes the construction of the car wash facility along with associated site improvements such as concrete walkways, drive aisles, curbs, landscaping, vacuum stations, and necessary utilities and equipment. The project requires a Planned Development Permit with several specific deviations from standard requirements, including a maximum front setback of 60 feet, a street side setback of 15 to 20 feet, a minimum lot coverage of 17 percent, and a waiver of transparency requirements for the street wall area. Administratively, the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15332 for In Fill Development Projects, as it is determined that the development will not have significant environmental impacts. Compliance with City Storm Water Regulations is mandatory, supported by reports from Tait and Associates Inc. Primary points of contact for the project include Senior Planner Jeffrey Szymanski and Associate Planner Marlene Watanabe.
