Traffic Safety and Sonoma Boulevard Collisions
Commissioners pressed the car wash applicant on shared access with the new Chick-fil-A next door, worried about queue spillover at peak times. Staff pointed to conditions of approval allowing code enforcement and potential use-permit revocation if queuing blocks public rights-of-way.
