Carwash Redevelopment - SPR #2025-05

The Carwash Redevelopment project, identified as SPR #2025-05, involves the demolition and redevelopment of an existing 3,792 square foot commercial self-service carwash facility located at 1015 E. Pacheco Boulevard in Los Banos, California. The project has received categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15302, as the redevelopment maintains the same use and capacity as the original structure. The development must adhere to a conditionally approved site plan featuring a Spanish/Mission style architectural theme with earth-toned colors. All construction and improvements must comply with City Master Plans, City Standards, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as applicable California Building, Fire, and Municipal Codes. Key technical requirements include the installation of fire suppression systems in all buildings, compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, and the installation of commercial-grade Knox Boxes at all entrances. The project necessitates specific infrastructure inspections, including remote TV camera evaluations of the mainline sewer and storm lines, which must be completed and reviewed by the Department of Public Works prior to the issuance of building permits. Additionally, the developer is responsible for preparing an engineering soils report and ensuring all stormwater facilities are privately maintained in perpetuity. Construction activities must maintain a 200-foot separation from the public right-of-way for material storage or utilize opaque fencing, and all contractors must obtain a City of Los Banos Business License before commencing work. Final compliance with all conditions of approval is required before a certificate of occupancy can be issued.
