VPC DISCUSSION:
Applicant presentation: 
Nayeli Sanchez Luna, staff, provided information regarding the subject site, including 
the location, size, and surrounding zoning. Ms. Sanchez Luna stated that Rezoning 
Case No. Z-6-04-7 established the C-2 zoning on the site subject to stipulations and 
added that a Planning Hearing Officer (PHO) request was to review the elevations

PHO requests and concluded her presentation by stating that the proposed 
development was for a Cobblestone Auto Spa.  
Jesse Macias, representing the applicant with M3 Design, provided information 
regarding the history of Cobblestone Auto Spa and added that the company had been 
locally owned since 1997. Mr. Macias summarized the PHO request and the building

concluded that there is a need for carwashes in the area. Mr. Ceniceros asked if the 
applicant was willing to share the research conducted. Mr. Macias stated that he would 
reach out to his team to provide the market research.  
 
Ms. Perez asked for clarification on the technical corrections request for this PHO 
request. Ms. Sanchez Luna stated that the technical corrections would not modify any 
stipulations but would rather change the wording. Ms. Perez asked if Stipulation No. 7 
was intended for elevations to return to Estrella for a recommendation. Ms. Sanchez 
Luna confirmed that the stipulation was added so that the committee could provide 
comments on architectural features, design elements, etc. but not the land use since it 
is already entitled.
