Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

Jesse,
I met you with Jim Heinz two weeks ago when you visited the carwash on C Avenue to get a firsthand look at the overspray and listen to the excessive noise of the blowers, vacuums and car wash mechanism. We appreciated your time that day.
Jim, as President of the Regatta Bay HOA, has taken the lead in communicating with the City about the carwash violations to the Special Use Permit and, frankly, has exhibited a level of patience that is beyond belief. Please know that his frustration is shared by many of us who live in the nearby homes.
We understand that the Dudek noise study, which is appropriately technical, should have a peer review. You told us when we met that the consultant the City was hiring to perform the peer review stated that it should be done quickly. It has been two months since that report was submitted to the City and that step, as far as we know, is still not complete.
In the meantime, why weren't the other violations Jim outlined and provided ample evidence of been addressed immediately by the City? The carwash has been in operation for a year and a half and the violations began day one. Based on our conversation the day we met and your follow up emails, it appears that the City is throwing soft balls at the Operator, "discussing" the violations but not taking any strong official action. Why?
We all want to preserve the quality of life we have in Coronado. We expect our City officials to do the right thing and enforce the laws, codes and permits which are designed to do just that. There has been no sense of urgency on the part of the City officials in addressing violations to the carwash Special Use Permit. On the contrary, when expressing his very legitimate grievances, Jim has been brushed off by some of them. This is totally unacceptable.
Jim and the Regatta Bay Homeowners have gone above and beyond to prove the violations. They secured and studied the SUP to clarify what the carwash Operator was required to do. They did the research to discover that the SUP has been violated in the past by previous Operators and the Property Owner. They paid for a $5000 noise study to prove that the carwash was far exceeding the allowed decibel range. They have been vigilant in documenting violation after violation.
It's time for someone at the City to take charge and begin an enforcement action for violations of the requirements of the Special Use Permit.
If we do not hear from you by Nov. 3 regarding specific planned enforcement steps, we will seek Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 499
assistance from the City at a higher administrative level than your office.
Respectfully,
Lynn Hamilton

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations The owners noise study was submitted to the city Sept 1. Almost 2 months and nothing has changed. Has any special use permit violation notice been sent to the operator for any of the numerous violations? Truly, this has become absurd! You say you have “talked” with the operators and no change! When will the city start sending the operator fines? My frustration level and my neighbors is beyond understanding.
Seriously, what specific actions will be accomplished on what timeline? Extreme ongoing noise violations next to sleeping quarters.
Continuous blocking of sidewalk
Operating after hours
Overspray which includes road grime, soap, wax and likely treatment chemicals.

Jesse, thank you for meeting at the car wash and viewing the overspray, which is no longer alleged overspray. You have received more pictures of cars blocking the sidewalk in the last week, with employees toweling the cars. I am looking forward to hearing the results of the noise study peer review which should be final by now. Next steps need to move quickly because this has not been resolved for too long.

Attached is a pic and video of a 9pm car washing. The young man said he has a membership, washes his car like this after hours often and was told by the operator or employees he could do this - his words. The young man was respectful and I asked him to no longer wash his car after hours. The scenarios of after hours operation grow!

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations? Jim Heintz

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example.

I will be happy to update you all whenever you would like to reach out to us for the current status.
We have discussed the utilities/vacuums with them and were led to believe they put in a timer to prevent their use after hours.

Jesse,
Thank you so much for sending the Notice. Will you be updating us on the Owner and/or Operator’s response?
In the short term, are they also on notice to turn off the utilities at 10:00 pm? Best,

Jesse, it has been over another week. A week ago last Thursday you said Harris and Associates is reviewing the Dudek noise study. Have they completed their review? This continues to drag on even when the residential owners have gone above and beyond to help the city enforce city codes. You have asked for 2 weeks for over 10 weeks now.
It is shocking to me that 1 person complains about a band being too loud for a couple of hours, 1 day during the week at a Coronado restaurant and the band can no longer play there. What do the greatly, constantly and consistently impacted residential owners have to do to get resolution about the multiple and ongoing car wash violations?

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim and Lynn -
I want to assure you that City staff takes your complaints and concerns seriously. While we certainly understand your frustrations and desire for an expeditious resolution, the process of awarding a contract to a consultant and conducting the technical review takes considerable time.
We expect the third-party consultant review to be completed in the next two weeks.
Staff will then review their findings and determine if there is a violation, and if so, what enforcement actions may be appropriate.
If the City determines enforcement is appropriate, staff will abide by the code enforcement procedures and timelines stipulated in the Coronado Municipal Code.
Notably, parties accused of a code violation must be provided notice of the alleged violation(s) and an opportunity to cure the violation before the City can take any punitive measures.
We realize this timeline does not meet your expectations, but the City is obligated to conduct a fair and thorough investigation and to follow applicable legal standards.
Failing to do so would be a disservice to both residents and the car wash operator.
As for the complaints about the mist overspray, we have completed our investigation of that matter and have concluded that it does not represent a violation of the use permit, municipal code, or stormwater regulations. Although we recognize the concern and will attempt to persuade the operator to prevent/minimize overspray, this is not something that we can compel through a code enforcement action.
The concern about cars stopping over the sidewalk is a trickier issue. We have seen your pictures of cars stopped on the sidewalk and have notified the operator that this is not allowed, but staff has not directly observed the practice during numerous inspections and we cannot take enforcement actions without direct, verifiable evidence of a violation. We will continue to monitor the situation and will explore possible remedies to prevent this from occurring.
Finally, we do appreciate the patience you and your neighbors have demonstrated and Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 517
ask that you recognize that a lack of immediate action does not mean staff doesn’t care or isn’t pursuing the matter. This is a priority, but it will take time and we cannot take shortcuts.
Thanks for your understanding,

Jesse,
I met you with Jim Heinz two weeks ago when you visited the carwash on C Avenue to get a first-hand look at the overspray and listen to the excessive noise of the blowers, vacuums and car wash mechanism. We appreciated your time that day.
Jim, as President of the Regatta Bay HOA, has taken the lead in communicating with the City about the carwash violations to the Special Use Permit and, frankly, has exhibited a level of patience that is beyond belief. Please know that his frustration is shared by many of us who live in the nearby homes.
We understand that the Dudek noise study, which is appropriately technical, should have a peer review. You told us when we met that the consultant the City was hiring to perform the peer review stated that it should be done quickly. It has been two months since that report was submitted to the City and that step, as far as we know, is still not complete.
In the meantime, why weren't the other violations Jim outlined and provided ample Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 518
evidence of been addressed immediately by the City? The carwash has been in operation for a year and a half and the violations began day one. Based on our conversation the day we met and your follow up emails, it appears that the City is throwing soft balls at the Operator, "discussing" the violations but not taking any strong official action. Why?
We all want to preserve the quality of life we have in Coronado. We expect our City officials to do the right thing and enforce the laws, codes and permits which are designed to do just that. There has been no sense of urgency on the part of the City officials in addressing violations to the carwash Special Use Permit. On the contrary, when expressing his very legitimate grievances, Jim has been brushed off by some of them. This is totally unacceptable.
Jim and the Regatta Bay Homeowners have gone above and beyond to prove the violations. They secured and studied the SUP to clarify what the carwash Operator was required to do. They did the research to discover that the SUP has been violated in the past by previous Operators and the Property Owner. They paid for a $5000 noise study to prove that the carwash was far exceeding the allowed decibel range. They have been vigilant in documenting violation after violation.
It's time for someone at the City to take charge and begin an enforcement action for violations of the requirements of the Special Use Permit.
If we do not hear from you by Nov. 3 regarding specific planned enforcement steps, we will seek assistance from the City at a higher administrative level than your office.
Respectfully,
Lynn Hamilton
Coronado Resident

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations The owners noise study was submitted to the city Sept 1. Almost 2 months and nothing has changed. Has any special use permit violation notice been sent to the operator for any of the numerous violations? Truly, this has become absurd! You say you have “talked” with the operators and no change! When will the city start sending the operator fines? My frustration level and my neighbors is beyond understanding.
Seriously, what specific actions will be accomplished on what timeline? Extreme ongoing noise violations next to sleeping quarters.
Continuous blocking of sidewalk
Operating after hours
Overspray which includes road grime, soap, wax and likely treatment chemicals.

Jesse, thank you for meeting at the car wash and viewing the overspray, which is no longer alleged overspray. You have received more pictures of cars blocking the sidewalk in the last week, with employees toweling the cars. I am looking forward to hearing the results of the noise study peer review which should be final by now. Next steps need to move quickly because this has not been resolved for too long.
Attached is a pic and video of a 9pm car washing. The young man said he has a membership, washes his car like this after hours often and was told by the operator or employees he could do this - his words. The young man was respectful and I asked him to no longer wash his car after hours. The scenarios of after hours operation grow! Jim Heintz

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly. Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations?

Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at? Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

and thorough investigation and to follow applicable legal standards. Failing to do so would be a disservice to both residents and the car wash operator.
As for the complaints about the mist overspray, we have completed our investigation of that matter and have concluded that it does not represent a violation of the use permit, municipal code, or stormwater regulations. Although we recognize the concern and will attempt to persuade the operator to prevent/minimize overspray, this is not something that we can compel through a code enforcement action.
The concern about cars stopping over the sidewalk is a trickier issue. We have seen your pictures of cars stopped on the sidewalk and have notified the operator that this is not allowed, but staff has not directly observed the practice during numerous inspections and we cannot take enforcement actions without direct, verifiable evidence of a violation. We will continue to monitor the situation and will explore possible remedies to prevent this from occurring.
Finally, we do appreciate the patience you and your neighbors have demonstrated and ask that you recognize that a lack of immediate action does not mean staff doesn’t care or isn’t pursuing the matter. This is a priority, but it will take time and we cannot take shortcuts.
Thanks for your understanding,

Jesse,
I met you with Jim Heinz two weeks ago when you visited the carwash on C Avenue to get a firsthand look at the overspray and listen to the excessive noise of the blowers, vacuums and car wash Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8

mechanism. We appreciated your time that day.
Jim, as President of the Regatta Bay HOA, has taken the lead in communicating with the City about the carwash violations to the Special Use Permit and, frankly, has exhibited a level of patience that is beyond belief. Please know that his frustration is shared by many of us who live in the nearby homes.
We understand that the Dudek noise study, which is appropriately technical, should have a peer review. You told us when we met that the consultant the City was hiring to perform the peer review stated that it should be done quickly. It has been two months since that report was submitted to the City and that step, as far as we know, is still not complete.
In the meantime, why weren't the other violations Jim outlined and provided ample evidence of been addressed immediately by the City? The carwash has been in operation for a year and a half and the violations began day one. Based on our conversation the day we met and your follow up emails, it appears that the City is throwing soft balls at the Operator, "discussing" the violations but not taking any strong official action. Why?
We all want to preserve the quality of life we have in Coronado. We expect our City officials to do the right thing and enforce the laws, codes and permits which are designed to do just that. There has been no sense of urgency on the part of the City officials in addressing violations to the carwash Special Use Permit. On the contrary, when expressing his very legitimate grievances, Jim has been brushed off by some of them. This is totally unacceptable.
Jim and the Regatta Bay Homeowners have gone above and beyond to prove the violations. They secured and studied the SUP to clarify what the carwash Operator was required to do. They did the research to discover that the SUP has been violated in the past by previous Operators and the Property Owner. They paid for a $5000 noise study to prove that the carwash was far exceeding the allowed decibel range. They have been vigilant in documenting violation after violation.
It's time for someone at the City to take charge and begin an enforcement action for violations of the requirements of the Special Use Permit.
If we do not hear from you by Nov. 3 regarding specific planned enforcement steps, we will seek assistance from the City at a higher administrative level than your office.
Respectfully,
Lynn Hamilton
Coronado Resident

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations The owners noise study was submitted to the city Sept 1. Almost 2 months and nothing has changed. Has any special use permit violation notice been sent to the operator for any of the numerous violations? Truly, this has become absurd! You say you have “talked” with the operators and no change! When will the city start sending the operator fines? My frustration level and my neighbors is beyond understanding.
Seriously, what specific actions will be accomplished on what timeline? Extreme ongoing noise violations next to sleeping quarters.
Continuous blocking of sidewalk
Operating after hours
Overspray which includes road grime, soap, wax and likely treatment chemicals.

Jesse, thank you for meeting at the car wash and viewing the overspray, which is no longer alleged overspray. You have received more pictures of cars blocking the sidewalk in the last week, with employees toweling the cars. I am looking forward to hearing the results of the noise study peer review which should be final by now. Next steps need to move quickly because this has not been resolved for too long.
Attached is a pic and video of a 9pm car washing. The young man said he has a membership, washes his car like this after hours often and was told by the operator or employees he could do this - his words. The young man was respectful and I asked him to no longer wash his car after hours. The scenarios of after hours operation grow!

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations? Jim Heintz

Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly. Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations?

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.
Regards,

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8

Currently the City is coordinating with our environmental consultant to conduct a peer review of the noise study so that we can verify the results. We were able to meet with Amity and Phil last week to discuss the car wash operations and the noise study. We discussed potential ways to reduce noise from operations and stressed to them that they need to find a solution ASAP. We plan to follow up with them while the noise study peer review is being conducted. I will reach out after that, but feel free to check in with me at any time.

The owners noise study was submitted to the city Sept 1. Almost 2 months and nothing has changed. Has any special use permit violation notice been sent to the operator for any of the numerous violations? Truly, this has become absurd! You say you have “talked” with the operators and no change! When will the city start sending the operator fines? My frustration level and my neighbors is beyond understanding.
Seriously, what specific actions will be accomplished on what timeline? Extreme ongoing noise violations next to sleeping quarters.
Continuous blocking of sidewalk
Operating after hours
Overspray which includes road grime, soap, wax and likely treatment chemicals.

Jesse, thank you for meeting at the car wash and viewing the overspray, which is no longer alleged overspray. You have received more pictures of cars blocking the sidewalk in the last week, with employees toweling the cars. I am looking forward to hearing the results of the noise study peer review which should be final by now. Next steps need to move quickly because this has not been resolved for too long.
Attached is a pic and video of a 9pm car washing. The young man said he has a membership, washes his car like this after hours often and was told by the operator or employees he could do this - his words. The young man was respectful and I asked him to no longer wash his car after hours. The scenarios of after hours operation grow!

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.

I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year?

Currently the City is coordinating with our environmental consultant to conduct a peer review of the noise study so that we can verify the results. We were able to meet with Amity and Phil last week to discuss the car wash operations and the noise study. We discussed potential ways to reduce noise from operations and stressed to them that they need to find a solution ASAP. We plan to follow up with them while the noise study peer review is being conducted. I will reach out after that, but feel free to check in with me at any time.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).

I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations?

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations? Jim Heintz

Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Currently the City is coordinating with our environmental consultant to conduct a peer review of the noise study so that we can verify the results. We were able to meet with Amity and Phil last week to discuss the car wash operations and the noise study. We discussed potential ways to reduce noise from operations and stressed to them that they need to find a solution ASAP. We plan to follow up with them while the noise study peer review is being conducted. I will reach out after that, but feel free to check in with me at any time.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

As promised, the City is providing regular updates to you on the complaints about Philthy Philz Car Wash.
The City continues to evaluate the submitted noise studies with an independent third-party noise consultant; we anticipate a couple more weeks to complete the analysis. We are also preparing a contract and scope of work to have an additional independent third-party noise analysis prepared.
We do not have any additional updates on the investigation at this time but will plan to provide another update in two weeks.

Thank you for your patience as our investigation into your complaints about Philthy Philz Car Wash continues. We realize that the investigatory process has taken more time than expected and desired by all of the parties. We share the interest to reach a speedy conclusion to this matter and we are balancing that with the City's obligation to conduct a fair and impartial investigation.
As you are aware, the City now has received noise studies prepared from each of the parties. We are continuing to work with an independent third-party noise consultant to help us evaluate the Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8

studies. We anticipate that this process will take at least another month to complete. The City may commission an additional independent noise study, which could take additional months (to be determined), depending on the noise consultant’s schedule. We share this to be completely transparent about our due diligence to evaluate the noise complaints.
Following completion of the noise analysis, staff will work with the City Attorney’s office to determine if any violations exist, and if so, the appropriate corrective actions that should be taken to remedy the issues. We will not be in a position to communicate the results of our investigation until it is concluded.
For improved communication, we will provide an update approximately every two weeks, even if just to convey that the process is continuing.
In the meantime, please address any questions or concerns to the Assistant City Attorney’s office, Elizabeth Mitchell at [email protected].

I assure you we are aware of the timeframe we provided in the NOV and have been in communication with the operators.

We will have to wait and see the noise study they provide, if at all, and determine our next steps at that point.

Good Morning Jesse. In addition to Lynn's comments, the car wash operation has been much slower over the last couple of weeks. 1 bay has been shut down for several consecutive days and the rain means less cars being washed. How will the City and peer review consider these issues on a noise study that asks for 1 hour of noise level? It is possible a noise study now could show 1 hour average results of zero car wash activity. Obviously, that level of noise is not representative of busier activity.

Since the NOV required an immediate reduction in noise generated by the car wash along with professional testing to verify such and from what we can verify on a daily basis, neither has been done, we are concerned that the Owner and Operator may be "kicking the can down the road" and delaying any correction. Could you do a drive by today to see (listen) for yourself that the operation is still as noisy as before? Just a reminder that the decibel study, which we assume must be of the caliber of the Dudek report, is due no later than January 6.
Thank you,

Jesse, it has been over another week. A week ago last Thursday you said Harris and Associates is reviewing the Dudek noise study. Have they completed their review? This continues to drag on even when the residential owners have gone above and beyond to help the city enforce city codes. You have asked for 2 weeks for over 10 weeks now.
It is shocking to me that 1 person complains about a band being too loud for a couple of hours, 1 day during the week at a Coronado restaurant and the band can no longer play there. What do the greatly, constantly and consistently impacted residential owners have to do to get resolution about Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8

the multiple and ongoing car wash violations?

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim and Lynn -
I want to assure you that City staff takes your complaints and concerns seriously. While we certainly understand your frustrations and desire for an expeditious resolution, the process of awarding a contract to a consultant and conducting the technical review takes considerable time.
We expect the third-party consultant review to be completed in the next two weeks. Staff will then review their findings and determine if there is a violation, and if so, what enforcement actions may be appropriate.
If the City determines enforcement is appropriate, staff will abide by the code enforcement procedures and timelines stipulated in the Coronado Municipal Code. Notably, parties accused of a code violation must be provided notice of the alleged violation(s) and an opportunity to cure the violation before the City can take any punitive measures.
We realize this timeline does not meet your expectations, but the City is obligated to conduct a fair and thorough investigation and to follow applicable legal standards. Failing to do so would be a disservice to both residents and the car wash operator.
As for the complaints about the mist overspray, we have completed our investigation of that matter and have concluded that it does not represent a violation of the use permit, municipal code, or stormwater regulations. Although we recognize the concern and will attempt to persuade the operator to prevent/minimize overspray, this is not something that we can compel through a code enforcement action.
The concern about cars stopping over the sidewalk is a trickier issue. We have seen your pictures of cars stopped on the sidewalk and have notified the operator that this is not allowed, but staff has not directly observed the practice during numerous inspections and we cannot take enforcement actions without direct, verifiable evidence of a violation. We will continue to monitor the situation and will explore possible remedies to prevent this from occurring.
Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8

Finally, we do appreciate the patience you and your neighbors have demonstrated and ask that you recognize that a lack of immediate action does not mean staff doesn’t care or isn’t pursuing the matter. This is a priority, but it will take time and we cannot take shortcuts.
Thanks for your understanding,

Jesse,
I met you with Jim Heinz two weeks ago when you visited the carwash on C Avenue to get a firsthand look at the overspray and listen to the excessive noise of the blowers, vacuums and car wash mechanism. We appreciated your time that day.
Jim, as President of the Regatta Bay HOA, has taken the lead in communicating with the City about the carwash violations to the Special Use Permit and, frankly, has exhibited a level of patience that is beyond belief. Please know that his frustration is shared by many of us who live in the nearby homes.
We understand that the Dudek noise study, which is appropriately technical, should have a peer review. You told us when we met that the consultant the City was hiring to perform the peer review stated that it should be done quickly. It has been two months since that report was submitted to the City and that step, as far as we know, is still not complete.
In the meantime, why weren't the other violations Jim outlined and provided ample evidence of been addressed immediately by the City? The carwash has been in operation for a year and a half and the violations began day one. Based on our conversation the day we met and your follow up Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 611
emails, it appears that the City is throwing soft balls at the Operator, "discussing" the violations but not taking any strong official action. Why?
We all want to preserve the quality of life we have in Coronado. We expect our City officials to do the right thing and enforce the laws, codes and permits which are designed to do just that. There has been no sense of urgency on the part of the City officials in addressing violations to the carwash Special Use Permit. On the contrary, when expressing his very legitimate grievances, Jim has been brushed off by some of them. This is totally unacceptable.
Jim and the Regatta Bay Homeowners have gone above and beyond to prove the violations. They secured and studied the SUP to clarify what the carwash Operator was required to do. They did the research to discover that the SUP has been violated in the past by previous Operators and the Property Owner. They paid for a $5000 noise study to prove that the carwash was far exceeding the allowed decibel range. They have been vigilant in documenting violation after violation.
It's time for someone at the City to take charge and begin an enforcement action for violations of the requirements of the Special Use Permit.
If we do not hear from you by Nov. 3 regarding specific planned enforcement steps, we will seek assistance from the City at a higher administrative level than your office.
Respectfully,
Lynn Hamilton

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations The owners noise study was submitted to the city Sept 1. Almost 2 months and nothing has changed. Has any special use permit violation notice been sent to the operator for any of the numerous violations? Truly, this has become absurd! You say you have “talked” with the operators and no change! When will the city start sending the operator fines? My frustration level and my neighbors is beyond understanding.
Seriously, what specific actions will be accomplished on what timeline? Extreme ongoing noise violations next to sleeping quarters.
Continuous blocking of sidewalk
Operating after hours
Overspray which includes road grime, soap, wax and likely treatment chemicals.

Jesse, thank you for meeting at the car wash and viewing the overspray, which is no longer alleged overspray. You have received more pictures of cars blocking the sidewalk in the last week, with employees toweling the cars. I am looking forward to hearing the results of the noise study peer review which should be final by now. Next steps need to move quickly because this has not been resolved for too long.
Attached is a pic and video of a 9pm car washing. The young man said he has a membership, washes his car like this after hours often and was told by the operator or employees he could do this - his words. The young man was respectful and I asked him to no longer wash his car after hours. The scenarios of after hours operation grow!

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.

City of Coronado Page 615
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations? Jim Heintz

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 617
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Currently the City is coordinating with our environmental consultant to conduct a peer review of the noise study so that we can verify the results. We were able to meet with Amity and Phil last week to discuss the car wash operations and the noise study. We discussed potential ways to reduce noise from operations and stressed to them that they need to find a solution ASAP. We plan to follow up with them while the noise study peer review is being conducted. I will reach out after that, but feel free to check in with me at any time.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 620
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

Jesse,
I have to agree with Mr. Cosart. The most egregious issue is the high decibel noise from the blowers and vacuums which violates the criteria of the Special Use Permit.
However, the City needs to also consider the implications of the blatant after hours open access and the constant intrusion in the public walkway.
After all the warnings and documented incidents of blocking of the public walkway by cars as they exit the carwash, if there is any kind of pedestrian injury because of it, I would be concerned that the City would be exposed to significant litigation. None of us want to see either of those things happen.
Simply put, this "industrial use", as it currently operates, is not appropriate or safe for a residential neighborhood.
Thank you for your consistent communication with us.
Best,
Lynn

Thanks Jesse. For the record, the terrible location, improper previous issued special use permit and significant NUISANCE is way more than a “sound/noise study”.
Independent Experts already recommend 8 critical common development changes implemented to the existing operations as well as moving the car wash totally, due to the close “hard walls and residential units”.
Hopefully you and the City intend to witness the car wash first hand at maximum capacity with zooming vacuum cycling, yelling, honking and both wash lanes operating and cycling, not to mention at all hours, on Sunday and in the City easements.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the update Jim, hope you and the family are all well. I have been traveling and out of pocket most of the time but always anxious for the updates from you, Jerry and Jesse.
For the record, as an engineer that’s advised others to provide solutions over dead ends, it seems probable that with the June expiration of the improper special use permit, it will NOT be renewed by the City. That LOCATION should have NEVER been permitted and yes now it may be unpopular to shut it down; the owner landlord enjoys their lease payments, the car wash tenant enjoys their revenue, supporters enjoy a car wash close by but not in their back yard, and the residents have been forced to accept the NUISANCE for too log! Since the Lease also must expire at permit expiration, the City must be proactive in moving it at expiration to a proper location. They may even want to create a strategic exchange property as a positive solution for ALL, to right the wrong, so everyone wins.
A FAIR interim option Jim, which should have started last year, should be for the City or State to exempt the affected residents from annual property taxes and HOAs until the car wash is moved or the Nuisance is totally resolved. The City may even require those who benefit from the car wash to pay those property taxes and HOAs out of their proceeds until issues are corrected. If the car wash is not moved the City may even have to purchase either the car wash property or the affected residences to ultimately resolve the issue. To do nothing or “kick the can down the road” would be so wrong!
The dozen plus car washes within an 8 mile radius should be visited; none have the adjacent close hard walls and multi residential units for a REASON…..the NUISANCE.
It has been proven that a sound study with “Average Decibels” is not a proper qualifier for overall “NUISANCE” but instead a clever loophole to qualify an improper residential location. Another issue is the alley and C Ave “hard wall echo” effects towards the Church and Regatta commercial breezeway. It is totally WRONG for the Church to hear the noise during Sunday services and other gatherings. Also Jim, the super loud vacuum zooming outside your bedroom window and patio at all hours is beyond words and any sound study.
You need to invite any skeptics to your patio one evening and have Jerry and I use the car wash and vacuum at full capacity……..it would be worth a thousand words! Remember, it’s been proven that Car washes are NOT to be next to multi unit housing and hard walls since “NUISANCE” is so much more than any sound study; it includes 0 to 80 to 0 to 60 plus cyclic erratic spray sound ranges, vacuum sound zooms, echo effects, slamming City of Coronado Page 629
Attachment 8
doors, radio noise, traffic, water and grime overspray, chemicals, yelling and talking, honking, flashing lights, engine noise, exhausts, soap smell and yes, even theft.
The car wash should have been CLOSED immediately once repeated violations and complaints were confirmed. Since the City, car wash Tenant operator, property Landlord and/or the planning department has been Complacent or Negligent Jim, it’s hoped the car wash will be closed and MOVED in July if not earlier. As for a possible popular or political push to renew the July permit and lease, the past special use permit would have to be significantly more restrictive if not totally thrown out. Hopefully the actions shown by the Landlord and Tenant to make NO attempt to remedy past and ongoing violations is not a sign of how this plays out. It seems all parties knew full well of the past car wash issues and “major nuisance problems” with this improper location but only the residents suffer.
Both the Permit and Lease, if written properly, should spell out that the permit requirements and permit expiration supersedes any implied or agreed lease terms. In other words the Lease and Permit have to expire at the same time. Any Lease renewal is totally dependent on IF a new permit is issued and IF the tenant is agreeable and able to satisfy all the permit terms.
While there are over 12 to 15 car washes within a 4 to 8 mile radius of Coronado, you are going to have some argue “we want it in our back door because we don’t want to have to drive a few miles away, as long as it’s not next to our home”. Others will say “why even allow a polluting car wash in such the beautifully unique Coronado city limits”.
If the car wash is not shut down or moved, typical “NUISANCE” and “Sound Proofing” steps that EXPERTS recommend should be proposed. The new permit should spell out the following 8 additional proven steps as a minimum.
#1: the hours of operation must be reduced to 8 to 10 hours/day (10:00AM to 7:00PM max., sufficient 54 hours max a week) and only Monday through Saturday (CLOSED on Sunday!).
Any Lease term can not exceed Permit expiration and must adhere to all Permit requirements. #2: reduce car wash lanes from 2 to only 1.
#3: add plastic flap/door enclosures for noise reduction and require a much lower decibel LIMIT as maximum and NOT “averaged with any non use”.
#4: add closure gates that won’t allow access OR power after 7:00PM or before 10:00AM Monday through Saturday with NO access on Sunday (can be a simple manual shut/open lockable gate at designated times to prevent access and power). Remember, this is residential and NOT downtown or village commercial!
#5: have the vacuum system fully enclosed in the shut down lane or REMOVED completely.
City of Coronado Page 630
Attachment 8
#6: add a water softener system along with a special drainage treatment system, that matches the most stringent City requirements. This could eliminate the need for wipe downs. #7: eliminate any wipe downs on the City sidewalk/easements and street outside the car wash property and make a SIMPLE reversal of the entrance with the exit as mandatory, ie. wipe downs can be in the back area facing the alley instead of the sidewalk and street while putting the ONE “payment entrance” just past the sidewalk.
#8: add common sound suppression batts to the back wall of the Smart and Final across the street, the wall and patios of the Regatta facing the car wash and the alleyway to minimize echo nuisance/decibels. This is mandatory whenever hard walls are adjacent to loud noise pollution.
A responsible operator (landlord and tenant) would have wanted to implement all of these 8 steps to continue operations at this location as a common courtesy to the City and community! Due to the confined location and past issues, the permit should also require City approval of any associated lease as well as the tenant’s ability to abide by the City’s requirements.
I am very confident that anyone who uses the car wash or supporters of the car wash would not want the car wash next to their home or business with the present special use permit. I understand the support for a local car wash so the City has to step in to resolve the issue by MOVING the car wash to a Non-Confined location and to require it to be New Designed Green and “State of the art” Sound Proofed…..Residents and it’s leaders deserve and should Demand only the “Best Development” for Coronado’s beauty and uniqueness! Again, a possible win win for all could be for the City to designate 3 or 4 positive exchange locations for ONE new “State of the Art” car wash…….there would be several investors in line to build the “Best Development” for the City and supporters! Catering to the tenant and landlord is NOT the answer! A possible location exchange could be the Best Resolve for the City, landlord, tenant, residents and visitors.
Possible optimum new locations carved out by the City could be the following as examples:
1: the corner of the Smart & Final vacant parking lot section at the corner of B Avenue and 2nd St.,
2: the City Public Services large property between A & B Avenues off 1st St., 3: the City/Base vacant parking lot between 3rd and 4th adjacent to Alameda Blvd. or City of Coronado Page 631
Attachment 8
4: the village’s Shell or Sinclair Station’s properties, ALL of the above are ideal locations that are NOT adjacent to hard walls or multi unit housing!
As for the car wash property, after the car wash is moved, it could easily be utilized by the City or Regatta commercial for needed offices and parking, either leased or purchased and even I would be a prospective buyer if needed to redevelop with the City’s help. Yes, the City needs to be proactive and POSITIVE in promoting the MOVING of the car wash LOCATION and creating a one of a kind car wash for the benefits of ALL the residents and visitors of Coronado. Would the City just prefer to buy the 4 Regatta residences out and cater to the 1 car wash property??
I get out there after Easter Jim so let’s plan a lunch or dinner! I’ld like to hear more about the past and present nuisance and violations as well as any forward moving planned solutions.
Any chance to get a copy of all the “special use permits” issued next door along with the original building permit and leases used from the City? Sorry to ramble but guess I have to much time to write since flying….…lol. Maybe you have a tech writer or someone who can condense all this ……
Anyway, hopefully all the above can be taken as positive and of help to you, your family, Regatta residents, Jerry, Jesse and Coronado to create a practical resolution ASAP! Have a good week and Happy Easter Jim!
Best Regards
Joe

Good afternoon,

City of Coronado Page 632
Attachment 8
The City continues to evaluate the submitted noise studies with an independent thirdparty noise consultant and expects to complete the analysis shortly. We have also identified a qualified independent third-party noise consultant and agreed upon a scope of work to prepare a city-initiated noise analysis of the car wash operations. We do not have any additional updates on the investigation at this time but will provide another update in two weeks.
Several neighbors have reached out about the expiration date of Philthy Philz Car Wash’s Special Use Permit, which is this summer. The City will conduct appropriate proceedings to evaluate the Special Use Permit and will communicate information about the dates and proceedings as they are finalized.
Thank you, and if you have any questions or concerns please contact Assistant City Attorney Elizabeth Mitchell at [email protected]

The amount of violations are too many to be excused. The car wash operator will not even put up a gate to deter this type of violation. My property is unusable morning, day and night because of a business owner that demonstrates no respect for neighbors, our community and the city's permit requirements.

Wash Update
Good afternoon,
As promised, the City is providing
regular updates to you on the
complaints about Philthy Philz Car
Wash.
The City contracted with a
qualified third-party sound
consultant to conduct an
independent sound study. Sound
measurements of the car wash
operations were taken on
Tuesday, May 9th and are under
analysis. Now, our next step is to
conduct a Public Hearing on
whether the Special Use Permit
and Coastal Development Permit
should be renewed. This public
hearing will be before the City’s
Planning Commission on Tuesday,
June 13th at 3:00 p.m. You will
receive an email with a link to the
staff report for that Public Hearing
on Friday, June 9th.
Thank you, and if you have any
questions or concerns please
contact Assistant City Attorney

City should get an immediate injunction to shut this business down. This is a very clear case of inverse condemnation/noise nuisance of the four adjacent residences. Dr. David Graham will attend the June 13th meeting and testify he sold his condo due to the inverse condemnation/noise nuisance of this carwash. He has documented evidence of falling out of escrow 4 times and selling his condo $500k below fair market value. What more does the City need in order to finally take action? The surrounding residents have been beyond patient in waiting for the City to take action.

Subject: Re: 150 C Avenue - Car
Wash Update
Good afternoon,
As promised, the City is providing
regular updates to you on the
complaints about Philthy Philz Car
Wash.
The City contracted with a
qualified third-party sound
consultant to conduct an
independent sound study. Sound
measurements of the car wash
operations were taken on
City of Coronado Page 652
Attachment 8
Tuesday, May 9th and are under
analysis. Now, our next step is to
conduct a Public Hearing on
whether the Special Use Permit
and Coastal Development Permit
should be renewed. This public
hearing will be before the City’s
Planning Commission on Tuesday,
June 13th at 3:00 p.m. You will
receive an email with a link to the
staff report for that Public Hearing
on Friday, June 9th.
Thank you, and if you have any
questions or concerns please
contact Assistant City Attorney
Elizabeth Mitchell

Our office has been in recent communication with the new owners of the car wash. We have made it clear that the carwash is subject to special use permit conditions which include limits on their hours of operation. They are allowed to operate the non-motorized car wash from 7am – 10 pm and the motorized bay between 7am – 8pm. We’ve also alerted them to past issues with noise and their surrounding residential neighbors and have been encouraging them to minimize noise during morning and evening hours.
Mark
P.S. The SUP allows them to operate under these conditions 7 days per week. In the past, we’ve been able to get the operator to cooperate with the neighbors and reduce noise during morning and evening hours. It is our hope we can again achieve this cooperation.

I just wanted to reach out to let you know we’ve received a few complaints of the car wash starting prior to 7:00 AM. Nothing outrageous, just a few minutes before 7:00 AM. I just wanted to check in and see if there was a way you could set up the machines or system so that it couldn’t even start prior to 7:00 AM?
We also continue to receive noise complaints related to the blowers. I’d encourage you to explore ways to reduce that noise source in an effort to reduce the number and frequency of complaints we receive.
Please confirm receipt of this email and let us know how you plan to keep the car wash from starting prior to 7:00 AM.

Hello Jim,
Thanks for sending over these additional videos. I can understand how frustrating that would be. We did send a Notice of Violation to them last week and I communicated with them via email about the concerns. Here was their response so you can see what actions they are taking to address the complaint:
1. We will definitely address the parking over the sidewalk, we reviewed our cameras and discovered there is one employee who is guiding them farther than needed and we will be sure we are clear on this going forward.
2. I am surprised to hear that there are people operating the vacuums in the dark and after hours. Its so hard to see back there that it never occurred to me that this would be an issue. I have asked the company if there is a way to program operational hours into the vacuums and unfortunately they do not make that component for our models. Phil and I have discussed the best way we can solve this and we are considering turning off the breaker at close of business but our attendants are not always on duty to be there to physically do this and also our attendants are not on duty at 7 am for our early morning customers turn them on. In the meantime, Phil is going to ask his electrician if we could place timers on the electrical outlets but we know these aren’t always super reliable. I will also ask Kevin Steel how he addressed this during his time with the business active Hopefully they follow through on the vacuums for your sake. However, after further review of the conditions of approval placed on the car wash, we cannot force them to cease operating the vacuums prior to 10:00 PM as outlined in condition of approval 10 below. I have included the text of the conditions that deal with the time restrictions on the use, and have attached the Resolution with all the details as well.
I hope this information is helpful. If you would like to discuss any of this further please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hello Jim,
The condition related to operational times, the 8pm limit, is specific to the wash bays. I can understand your line of reasoning that the vacuum is part of the car wash though. With the language specific to the wash bays, and the additional condition related to the utilities, we do not believe we have the authority to force them to cease operating the vacuums.
Condition #11 was related to the man door located between the two wash bays. Apparently the past operators left that propped open or cut holes in the door to run equipment lines through it, which amplified the equipment noise.
When staff visited the site we did not see any overspray occurring onto the sidewalk or street. I will notify the City’s stormwater engineer to take a look and see if he notices anything or has concerns.
Thanks,

Jesse, thank you for your quick reply. So the car wash must close by 8pm because both bays are automated. If the car wash must close , how does it make sense that the vacuums can continue to operate? The vacuums are part of the car wash!
What is meant by the required automatic door in #11?
Also, what is the plan with the wash cycle mist going over the sidewalk to the street? Jim Heintz

directly with you. Please know they are currently not represented by an attorney. They are hopeful the City will resolve the issues during the current carwash investigation. I have included the attached two photos, because I don’t know if you have copies of them? First photo depicts pedestrians (and a baby in the wagon) using the City owned sidewalk with “due care”. I bring this to your attention because I believe it to show a dangerous condition of public property, if someone becomes injured at this location.
The second photo depicts documentation of a 500K drop (due to carwash noise nuisance) in fair market value of Unit
on 06/22/22. The four affected “adjacent” condos are owned by:
Cosart , Heintz , Keesling , Schwebach
, which sold
.
The reason I am sending this email (I am not an attorney-just trying to help out my neighbors with the issue). I am a retired Supervising Special Investigator for CalTrans Legal Division. I worked for the Deputy Chief Counsel and a group of trial attorneys in the tort/property section. For 30+ years. I was also a licensed Private Investigator and worked contract cases for the San Diego City Attorney’s/Civil Division and the El Cajon City Attorney. I am sharing this info with you because I do have some special knowledge on government litigation.
To me, it looks like an inverse condemnation/noise nuisance situation. The affected property owners have lost the use of their patios and their adjacent sleeping quarters because of the noise nuisance. They paid for a reliable noise study by Dudek (a reputable City vendor). That noise study concludes the decibel levels exceed the amount allowed under the City issued Special Use Permit. I think this sums up the (4) adjacent property owners position on this matter.
We all look forward to working with the City on a resolution to this problem.

Ms. Mitchell- As part of the City ongoing carwash investigation. I suggest you retain an investigator to interview the past (2) carwash operators. Both carwash operators ended up in litigation with property owner Kevin Steel AKA Stainless Auto Wash LLC.
I suspect Philthy Philz Car Wash Coronado will meet the same fate. Both carwash operators dealt with property owner Kevin Steel not disclosing prior carwash noise complaints (prior to signing their expensive leases). And there are allegations Kevin Steel submitted false noise studies to the City. So there is a pattern of unethical business practices fraud and deceit.

Hi Joe thanks for the email. To my knowledge the City has not sent 1 violation notice (much less any enforcement) to the car wash operator and property owner for blocking the sidewalk violations. I am aware of at least 30 pictures sent to the City documenting these violations. On several occasions I have seen people including wheelchairs go into the street to get around the blocked sidewalk. My own daughter is in a wheelchair and we have waited for sidewalk to clear while getting sprayed by soap and wax. It seems the City is demonstrating gross negligence and is wide open to future injury claims.
Elizabeth and Tina please respond about these violations. Thank you.

There is absolutely no attempt to block off the entrance after hours, no effort to even try and make it tolerable for their neighbors…

Thank you Jeri. There are car owners trying to get a car wash after hours every night. Some nights only 2 or 3 cars and other nights 5 to 7. Those numbers are only the cars I see.

There is no question the Special Use and Coastal Commission permits should not be renewed.
It’s insane this has gone on so long. They should have been revoked long ago. There is a reason carwash’s are located in industrial areas. We all understand this! And pedestrians can’t use the sidewalk unless they want to be washed and waxed passing by. They continue to have violations while City is conducting their investigation. Enough is enough! We will see you on June 13th @3pm and hope you do the right thing. Jeri Hickman Sent from my iPhone

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Jim,
Thank you for your patience as our investigation into your complaints about Philthy Philz Car Wash continues. We realize that the investigatory process has taken more time than expected and desired by all of the parties. We share the interest to reach a speedy conclusion to this matter and we are balancing that with the City's obligation to conduct a fair and impartial investigation.
As you are aware, the City now has received noise studies prepared from each of the parties. We are continuing to work with an independent third-party noise consultant to help us evaluate the studies. We anticipate that this process will take at least another month to complete. The City may commission an additional independent noise study, which could take additional months (to be determined), depending on the noise consultant’s schedule. We share this to be completely transparent about our due diligence to evaluate the noise complaints.
Following completion of the noise analysis, staff will work with the City Attorney’s office to determine if any violations exist, and if so, the appropriate corrective actions that should be taken to remedy the issues. We will not be in a position to communicate the results of our investigation until it is concluded.
For improved communication, we will provide an update approximately every two weeks, even if just to convey that the process is continuing.
In the meantime, please address any questions or concerns to the Assistant City Attorney’s office, Elizabeth Mitchell at [email protected].

I assure you we are aware of the timeframe we provided in the NOV and have been in communication with the operators. I drive by the site 3-5 times a week but what my ears perceive will not be the same as a noise study. We will have to wait and see the noise study they provide, if at all, and determine our next steps at that point.
Thanks,

Good Morning Jesse. In addition to Lynn's comments, the car wash operation has been much slower over the last couple of weeks. 1 bay has been shut down for several consecutive days and the rain means less cars being washed. How will the City and peer review consider these issues on a noise study that asks for 1 hour of noise level? It is possible a noise study now could show 1 hour average results of zero car wash activity. Obviously, that level of noise is not representative of busier activity.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Good morning, Jesse,
Since the NOV required an immediate reduction in noise generated by the car wash along with professional testing to verify such and from what we can verify on a daily basis, neither has been done, we are concerned that the Owner and Operator may be "kicking the can down the road" and delaying any correction. Could you do a drive by today to see (listen) for yourself that the operation is still as noisy as before? Just a reminder that the decibel study, which we assume must be of the caliber of the Dudek report, is due no later than January 6.
Thank you,
Lynn

Jesse, it has been over another week. A week ago last Thursday you said Harris and Associates is reviewing the Dudek noise study. Have they completed their review? This continues to drag on even when the residential owners have gone above and beyond to help the city enforce city codes. You have asked for 2 weeks for over 10 weeks now.
It is shocking to me that 1 person complains about a band being too loud for a couple of hours, 1 day during the week at a Coronado restaurant and the band can no longer play there. What do the greatly, constantly and consistently impacted residential owners have to do to get resolution about the multiple and ongoing car wash violations?

I want to assure you that City staff takes your complaints and concerns seriously. While we certainly understand your frustrations and desire for an expeditious resolution, the process of awarding a contract to a consultant and conducting the technical review takes considerable time.
We expect the third-party consultant review to be completed in the next two weeks. Staff will then review their findings and determine if there is a violation, and if so, what enforcement actions may be appropriate.
If the City determines enforcement is appropriate, staff will abide by the code enforcement procedures and timelines stipulated in the Coronado Municipal Code. Notably, parties accused of a code violation must be provided notice of the alleged violation(s) and an opportunity to cure the violation before the City can take any punitive measures.
We realize this timeline does not meet your expectations, but the City is obligated to conduct a fair and thorough investigation and to follow applicable legal standards. Failing to do so would be a disservice to both residents and the car wash operator.
As for the complaints about the mist overspray, we have completed our investigation of that matter and have concluded that it does not represent a violation of the use permit, municipal code, or stormwater regulations. Although we recognize the concern and will attempt to persuade the operator to prevent/minimize overspray, this is not something that we can compel through a code enforcement action.
The concern about cars stopping over the sidewalk is a trickier issue. We have seen your pictures of cars stopped on the sidewalk and have notified the operator that this is not allowed, but staff has not directly observed the practice during numerous inspections and we cannot take enforcement actions without direct, verifiable evidence of a violation. We will continue to monitor the situation and will explore possible remedies to prevent this from occurring.
Finally, we do appreciate the patience you and your neighbors have demonstrated and ask that you recognize that a lack of immediate action does not mean staff doesn’t care or isn’t pursuing the matter. This is a priority, but it will take time and we cannot take shortcuts.
Thanks for your understanding,

Jesse,
I met you with Jim Heinz two weeks ago when you visited the carwash on C Avenue to get a firsthand look at the overspray and listen to the excessive noise of the blowers, vacuums and car wash mechanism. We appreciated your time that day.
Jim, as President of the Regatta Bay HOA, has taken the lead in communicating with the City about the carwash violations to the Special Use Permit and, frankly, has exhibited a level of patience that is beyond belief. Please know that his frustration is shared by many of us who live in the nearby homes.
We understand that the Dudek noise study, which is appropriately technical, should have a peer review. You told us when we met that the consultant the City was hiring to perform the peer review stated that it should be done quickly. It has been two months since that report was submitted to the City and that step, as far as we know, is still not complete.
In the meantime, why weren't the other violations Jim outlined and provided ample evidence of been addressed immediately by the City? The carwash has been in operation for a year and a half and the violations began day one. Based on our conversation the day we met and your follow up emails, it appears that the City is throwing soft balls at the Operator, "discussing" the violations but not taking any strong official action. Why?
We all want to preserve the quality of life we have in Coronado. We expect our City officials to do the right thing and enforce the laws, codes and permits which are designed to do just that. There has been no sense of urgency on the part of the City officials in addressing violations to the carwash Special Use Permit. On the contrary, when expressing his very legitimate grievances, Jim has been brushed off by some of them. This is totally unacceptable.
Jim and the Regatta Bay Homeowners have gone above and beyond to prove the violations. They secured and studied the SUP to clarify what the carwash Operator was required to do. They did the research to discover that the SUP has been violated in the past by previous Operators and the Property Owner. They paid for a $5000 noise study to prove that the carwash was far exceeding the Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 731
allowed decibel range. They have been vigilant in documenting violation after violation.
It's time for someone at the City to take charge and begin an enforcement action for violations of the requirements of the Special Use Permit.
If we do not hear from you by Nov. 3 regarding specific planned enforcement steps, we will seek assistance from the City at a higher administrative level than your office.
Respectfully,
Lynn Hamilton
Coronado Resident

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations The owners noise study was submitted to the city Sept 1. Almost 2 months and nothing has changed. Has any special use permit violation notice been sent to the operator for any of the numerous violations? Truly, this has become absurd! You say you have “talked” with the operators and no change! When will the city start sending the operator fines? My frustration level and my neighbors is beyond understanding.

Jesse, thank you for meeting at the car wash and viewing the overspray, which is no longer alleged overspray. You have received more pictures of cars blocking the sidewalk in the last week, with employees toweling the cars. I am looking forward to hearing the results of the noise study peer review which should be final by now. Next steps need to move quickly because this has not been resolved for too long.
Attached is a pic and video of a 9pm car washing. The young man said he has a membership, washes his car like this after hours often and was told by the operator or employees he could do this - his words. The young man was respectful and I asked him to no longer wash his car after hours. The scenarios of after hours operation grow!

Jesse, I am surprised the peer review process was not started immediately after I submitted the noise study results a month ago. Mark Storm with Dudek (a company the city has used) can be schedule for questions or clarification.
I fully expect the car wash operator will be required to have the same in depth level of noise study performed to prove they meet ALL of the special use requirements after they make changes.
Send me a couple of times to view the overspray out to the street which is a danger to citizens using the public sidewalk from soap, recycled water and chemicals. Also, talk to Mayor Bailey who witnessed the overspray and said he would not use the sidewalk during the overspray. I have been caught in the overspray walking my daughter in a wheelchair, with no way to escape quickly.
Blocking of the sidewalk continues, picture attached from Sept 25, 2022 with employee toweling down a car. Have ANY violation notices been sent to the car wash operator (should be including increasing levels of financial fines) since I have sent you pictures now for over a year? Perhaps I should file an ADA violation, second picture attached from Sept 29, 2022.
The vacuums continue to be used after car wash business hours. It is a very simple thing for the operator to restrict access and turn off their lights when they close. In an earlier email chain, you said the vacuums are not in the special use permit so the city could not enforce a violation. A meth lab is not in their special use permit either, so that logic says it would also be OK. Since the vacuums Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 735
are not listed in the special use permit (a City error to allow vacuums), standard city noise ordinances apply. Should I start calling the police about noise violations? Jim Heintz

Subject: RE: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jim,
Your frustration is certainly understandable, but as we’ve previously discussed, the City must do its due diligence before it can compel any action by the property owner. We are currently working on a contract with a third-party noise consultant to conduct a peer review of your noise study and to assist staff with determining what potential noise attenuation measures may be effective in reducing the impact on neighbors. This process will take several weeks.
The potential noise attenuation options we have discussed with the operator include quieter equipment, mufflers, exterior doors, modified hours of operation, a shorter blower cycle, gates/barriers to control entry to the site, etc. We expect the noise consultant may have additional ideas.
We will continue to periodically monitor the car wash regarding the alleged overspray and parking over the sidewalk and can meet with you on-site if you wish.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hi Jesse, what are the potential ways discussed to reduce the noise? The study shows that all aspects of the car wash, blowers, high pressure wash and vacuums exceed the 60 DB limit. The 24 hour study results show noise level never at or below 60 DB during hours of operation. So, what are the ideas being looked at?
Also, what timeline was agreed to? This has drug on for an extremely long time and I'm not sure what ASAP means.
Several other violations exist that I included in my investigation request. Sidewalks still blocked while towel drying (2 pics from the last week) for example. You said staff viewed the car wash operation and there was no overspray. I would be happy to meet with you and watch the mist go over the sidewalk and out to the street. Mayor Bailey witnessed the overspray to the street as well.
I look forward to seeing what ideas have been discussed. Thank you.

Currently the City is coordinating with our environmental consultant to conduct a peer review of the noise study so that we can verify the results. We were able to meet with Amity and Phil last week to discuss the car wash operations and the noise study. We discussed potential ways to reduce noise from operations and stressed to them that they need to find a solution ASAP. We plan to follow up with them while the noise study peer review is being conducted. I will reach out after that, but feel free to check in with me at any time.

Subject: Re: 150 C Ave Car Wash Special Use Permit violations Hello Jesse, thank you for the update. I look forward to resolution of the noise violation by reducing the noise level so owners can use their properties again. I also believe you will be working with the car wash operators on the other permit violations. I think the car wash should not be accessible after 8pm (it appears open) since the vacuums continue to be used literally all hours of the night (past midnight).
I expect the city will require the car wash operator to prove, with their own high quality noise study that they comply, after any changes. In the future, any operator at this location should demonstrate compliance before being allowed to open. The residential owners have invested money and operator/owner should also.
I look forward to the plans for the car wash operator to comply with the permit and proof of that compliance. This has gone on way too long so I also expect these remedies to be done quickly.

Hello Rich, I have not talked with you lately about the car wash at 150 C Ave. Some issues have become much more prevalent lately. Last weekend, I watched employees motion for cars coming out of the car wash for towel dry to not stop until the sidewalk was completely blocked. In general, cars are completely blocking the sidewalk quite often now to get towel dried. One picture also shows the mist from the car wash going past the sidewalk out to the street. I have talked with locals and many walk on the other side of the street to avoid the soap and wax mist. The mist is common with no to minimal breeze. Lastly, even though the car wash closes at 8 pm, the vacuums are operative all night. Attached is a video taken at 9:05 pm tonight. The vacuums are loud and can produce a high pitched whine.
I look forward to your reply and if we don't talk tomorrow, have a good weekend.

2 photos attached from 6:30 this morning. Customer trying to get a car wash before business hours at both bays. He honked for assistance and drove around the back of the car wash until 7 am when he finally got his car washed.
The amount of violations are too many to be excused. The car wash operator will not even put up a gate to deter this type of violation. My property is unusable morning, day and night because of a business owner that demonstrates no respect for neighbors, our community and the city's permit requirements.

I just returned home, and I say one of the drivers exiting the car wash. All lights are on, leading one to believe one could get their car washed. They veered out of my way as they exited the car wash, obviously upset they could not wash their car.

Their life living in their home in La Jolla is good while my life living in my home in Coronado is constantly disrupted. Do not renew the special use permit due to the constant and continuous permit violations.

Another violation today. Gate to alley is wide open with cars entering and leaving through gate. Keep in mind, the over 100 violations you have been sent are only the violations seen by parties with a phone camera available. Realistically, the actual number of violations is several times what has been documented.

Amazing! 8:45pm and a car came in, entered their code
and got their car washed! I am beyond frustrated that
now the car wash is operating well after closing hours.
These violations clearly mean the SUP should not be
renewed.

Good afternoon,
As promised, the City is providing regular updates to you on the complaints about Philthy Philz Car Wash.
The City contracted with a qualified third-party sound
consultant to conduct an independent sound study. Sound measurements of the car wash operations were taken on
Tuesday, May 9th and are under analysis. Now, our next
step is to conduct a Public Hearing on whether the Special Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit should be
renewed. This public hearing will be before the City’s
Planning Commission on Tuesday, June 13th at 3:00 p.m. You will receive an email with a link to the staff report for that Public Hearing on Friday, June 9th.

2 more violations today. Car with employee next to it blocking sidewalk and alley gate open with employee guiding cars out of car wash into alley. I only go out a couple times a day at the most. It is amazing in those limited times that I can document so many violations.

Back gate open with car using the alley to enter. Also, the entrance to the car is full so cars blocking sidewalk and creating congestion in the street in C Ave. Do not renew the special use permit.

This does not apply to my business neighbor that lives in La Jolla - both the property owner and the car wash

Amazing! 8:45pm and a car came in, entered their code
and got their car washed! I am beyond frustrated that
now the car wash is operating well after closing hours.
These violations clearly mean the SUP should not be
renewed.

Good afternoon,
As promised, the City is providing regular updates to you on the complaints about Philthy Philz Car Wash.
The City contracted with a qualified third-party sound
consultant to conduct an independent sound study. Sound measurements of the car wash operations were taken on
Tuesday, May 9th and are under analysis. Now, our next
step is to conduct a Public Hearing on whether the Special Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit should be
renewed. This public hearing will be before the City’s
Planning Commission on Tuesday, June 13th at 3:00 p.m. You will receive an email with a link to the staff report for that Public Hearing on Friday, June 9th.
Thank you, and if you have any questions or concerns please contact Assistant City Attorney Elizabeth Mitchell at

Between 8:15 and 8:50 tonight, 4 cars tried to get car washes. 3 drove away and 1 yelled at the machine. A very simple answer is for the operator to install a gate to close when they are closed. The operator after many, many months has not done this because they do not care.
Their life living in their home in La Jolla is good while my life living in my home in Coronado is constantly disrupted. Do not renew the special use permit due to the constant and continuous permit violations.

Another violation today. Gate to alley is wide open with cars entering and leaving through gate. Keep in mind, the over 100 violations you have been sent are only the violations seen by parties with a phone camera available. Realistically, the actual number of violations is several times what has been documented.

Sadly, the carwash will continue to violate the noise and city codes during our special Memorial Day weekend. I cannot plan a BBQ on my balcony, nor entertain guests until after 8PM. From a veteran’s standpoint, this saddens me.

Amazing! 8:45pm and a car came in, entered their code and got their car washed! I am beyond frustrated that now the car wash is operating well after closing hours. These violations clearly mean the SUP should not be renewed.

The City contracted with a qualified third-party sound consultant to conduct an independent sound study. Sound measurements of the car wash operations were taken on Tuesday, May 9th and are under analysis. Now, our next step is to conduct a Public Hearing on whether the Special Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit should be renewed. This public hearing will be before the City’s Planning Commission on Tuesday, June 13th at 3:00 p.m. You will receive an email with a link to the staff report for that Public Hearing on Friday, June 9th.

City needs to get an injunction to shut them down immediately. This is unacceptable they continue with non-stop violations while “under investigation” by the City. Jeri Hickman Sent from my iPhone

Jesse, Please provide ALL of us a copy of the application and the proposed “special use permit” so that we can review the new wording and the new requirements prior to the hearing.
We assume that all the reported proven Nuisances, excess hours of operation and 8 critical additional car wash requirements have been addressed and implemented. Hopefully we will have time to study these well before the hearing!
Best Regards
Joe

Jesse, thanks for the update. Any answers or response to the questions asked earlier? Can everyone presume a “No response” signifies to ALL that the City is in total support of the Adjacent Residents, Moving of the car wash and Implementing the 8 added critical requirements as a minimum, on ANY Coronado car wash location?? Will the City “Not Renew The Permit“ AT The 150 C Avenue Location?? Would the City be ALL in with a partner to move the car wash operator to a carved out proper location and give them a new 5 year lease with a 10% monthly reduction.
It is clear that the City has No liability from the property owner or operator beyond the July Permit Expiration and Non-Renewal! Terms expressed or implied “beyond the permit term” in any Lease or verbally, would be a miss representation between the Landlord and Tenant.
While it is SCARY that Fines have Not been issued for any of the Dozens of Violations, it’s equally as SCARY that someone would wrongly assure them that a renewal could or will happen! Imagine if rules were not enforced in Beautiful Coronado and No Accountability or Fines were implemented for illegal parking, illegal driving or accidents.
Is the car wash offering long term memberships?? While “car wash memberships“ encourage Wasteful Usage and Excessive Nuisance/Pollution, at the 150 C Avenue location it has been proven that memberships can actually quadruple usage due to the fixed monthly rate! Again, we Pray that you Do Not Renew the Permit AT the 150 C Avenue Location!
Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 806
Please present my emails as support AGAINST ANY consideration of the 150 C Avenue “special use permit renewal” at the June 13th meeting before your City Planning Commission!
Just Maybe, Beautiful Coronado’s City Planning Commission agrees and supports optimum planning and will enact a strategic move of the car wash to a ”Proper Location”??

Jesse, please answer the questions I already requested from you and Elizabeth earlier today for the adjacent residents.
I believe it has been made very clear that “noise study” is only a small issue in the Multiple Nuisances and Extensive Operating hour (108 hrs/week instead of common sense 45 to 54 hrs/week). Below is the questions I asked earlier in case you did not get them. Sorry y’all spent the money for an independent noise study that was already done by Jim.
“ -Has any potential July renewal “special use permit” application been drafted and/or presented to the City yet? Has the City informed the applicant that the permit will not be renewed without moving locations and/or with the major revisions requested or prayed for by residents?
-Will the City immediately make any renewal application public and alert all adjacent residents for review, input and debate prior to any consideration or Rulings? Will the adjacent residents have their past couple year’s property taxes and HOAs compensated for the Excess Hours and Multiple Nuisances?
If the City intends to not close or move the car wash:
-Will the City only allow hand wash again like before they allowed industrial type machine wash a couple years ago? Will the City allow only one standard wash lane and not two wash lanes? Will the City allow only 45 hours to 54 hours max of operation per week as opposed to the 108 allowed in the present permit? Will the City require gating and power shut down when closed? Will the City Attachment 8 Attachment 8 Attachment 8
City of Coronado Page 807
lower the maximum decibel level and not use average decibel? Will the City reverse entrance with exit and disallow vacuum operation? -Did the adjacent residents have a say on the last “special use permit”? While we know the added potential traffic can be as much as 150 cars/day or over 1,000 cars/week as a next door Nuisance and Pollution, can the City provide the volume of cars for the past 21 days tomorrow?
Sorry for so many questions Jesse and Elizabeth, but thanks in advance for your support in this matter. The next door residents have been forced to endure the Excess Hours and Multiple Nuisances far too long. “
Hope this helps and let us adjacent residences know if you have any questions. Feel free to arrange to spend some evenings on the adjacent balconies to witness for yourself. Have a good weekend.
Best Regards
Joe

Good afternoon,
As promised, the City is providing regular updates to you on the complaints about Philthy Philz Car Wash.
The City has initiated a noise analysis of the car wash operations by a qualified independent third-party noise consultant, who will be taking noise measurements. We do not have any additional updates on the investigation at this time but will provide another update in two weeks.

about putting up a gate or putting vacuums on a timer. I believe you also said the operator has resolved this issue. Clearly the issue is not resolved. The City should be able to get this fixed immediately. This complaint is not dependent on the multiple noise studies and noise study reviews that are taking months to complete. Please reply to me on Monday about immediate steps the City will take to insure the car wash is not operating after hours.

Jesse, please answer the questions I already requested from you and Elizabeth earlier today for the adjacent residents.
I believe it has been made very clear that “noise study” is only a small issue in the Multiple Nuisances and Extensive Operating hour (108 hrs/week instead of common sense 45 to 54 hrs/week). Below is the questions I asked earlier in case you did not get them. Sorry y’all spent the money for an independent noise study that was already done by Jim. “ -Has any potential July renewal “special use permit” application been drafted and/or presented to the City yet? Has the City informed the applicant that the permit will not be renewed without moving locations and/or with the major revisions requested or prayed for by residents?
-Will the City immediately make any renewal application public and alert all adjacent residents for review, input and debate prior to any consideration or Rulings? Will the adjacent residents have their past couple year’s property taxes and HOAs compensated for the Excess Hours and Multiple Nuisances?
If the City intends to not close or move the car wash:
-Will the City only allow hand wash again like before they allowed industrial type machine wash a couple years ago? Will the City allow only one standard wash lane and not two wash lanes? Will the City allow only 45 hours to 54 hours max of operation per week as opposed to the 108 allowed in the present permit? Will the City require gating and power shut down when closed? Will the City lower the maximum decibel level and not use average decibel? Will the City reverse entrance with exit and disallow vacuum operation? -Did the adjacent residents have a say on the last “special use permit”? While we know the added potential traffic can be as much as 150 cars/day or over 1,000 cars/week as a next door Nuisance and Pollution, can the City provide the volume of cars for the past 21 days tomorrow?
Sorry for so many questions Jesse and Elizabeth, but thanks in advance for your support in this matter. The next door residents have been forced to endure the Excess Hours and Multiple Nuisances far too long. “
Hope this helps and let us adjacent residences know if you have any questions. Feel free to arrange to spend some evenings on the adjacent balconies to witness for yourself. Have a good weekend.
Best Regards
Joe

Just in Lynn! Huge questions that I’ve been asked that I can’t answer! Maybe you could run them by Jesse to let us know?
Has any potential renewal “special use permit” application been drafted and presented to the City??
Will the City immediately make any renewal application public and alert all adjacent neighbors for review prior to any consideration or Rulings?? The serious mistakes made by past City leaders on permitting is obvious but when did they permit the building of an industrial type car wash next to residential?? Why would they permit the building of residential next to an industrial type car wash?? Lastly, I was asked about the added industrial type traffic Nuisance and automobile pollution realized by the adjacent residents due to the car wash?? Does the operator, City or anyone have the average cars entering the car wash daily, weekly or monthly??
Once again, All agree it’s about Potential and not average! With 2 wash lanes and a vacuum area you can conservatively estimate 3 + cars every 20 minutes or let’s say 10 cars every hour.
It can add up tremendously! With a POTENTIAL of 105 hours usage/week, not counting the violating after hours usage, the ADDED traffic pollution Nuisance next door to the residents could be 150 cars/day or OVER 1,000 cars/week! To All I would say, imagine this Additional 150 cars/day or 1,000 cars/week added traffic Nuisance variables next to your house! Obviously with careers and family you can even imagine that you get home for the family chores, dinner, family bonding and relaxation after a long day and, seriously, you have over a 50 more car’s Nuisance coming and going next door the entire evening. Now imagine the family all tucked in and your neighbor decides to use an industrial sonic vacuum outside you and the kid’s bedroom at midnight, 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM or 6:00 AM…..Get the picture? Anyway, hope this is helpful and please let me know if you can get any answers to the above questions.
Best Regards
Joe

Thanks Lynn and yes, “Industrial Use” next to Residential sums it all up! MOVING the car wash to a Non-Residential location and correcting the special use permit is the best direction for the community and Coronado.
The industrial style “Hours of Operation” that is in the present special use permit is beyond belief but typical from a car wash property owner applicant. Everyone was Shocked to learn that the City allowed 196 hours of POTENTIAL operational revenue a week, (2 lanes at industrial type 105 & 91 hours per lane), adjacent to residential! Obviously it was in the applicant’s “best interest” for the revenue potential but totally WRONG for adjacent residences. I don’t believe any car wash around San Diego even has 2 wash lanes! If there is a meeting to discuss any possible permit renewal, adjacent residents need to be alerted by the City and allowed to voice total disapproval for the renewal location, past hours of operation and several other issues.
Potential 100% Usage and Maximum Possible decibels are the true benchmark when it comes to “adjacent residential Nuisance studies”. In other words, the City allowed 196 hours potential usage as well as possible triple decibels adjacent to residential! Proper repeatable and undisputed measurement of this is both wash lanes operating along with vacuum zooming at 100%, yelling, sneezing and a few horn honks and loud mufflers for 30 minutes!
The Max hours of operation the City should allow adjacent to residential, with Only 1 wash lane, should be 9 hrs/day, 6 days/week for a maximum of 54 hours/week. Others say that’s too many hours and it should be, with Only 1 lane, 9 hrs/day, 5 days/week for a maximum of 45 hours a week as the standard! All agree that Vacuum zooming usage should only be allowed 25 hours/week, if at all, during afternoons from noon to 5:00 PM, Monday-Friday.
Security gating should be mandated and enforced, regardless where the car wash is located, to assure no power or access is possible beyond the “hours of operation”.
Lastly, there should have been a “Nuisance Fine” every day, past, present and future for blatant violations! Most propose $200/day to $400/day as a minimum to the City. I believe the City’s minor parking violation is more than $200. If the car wash remains at the present location and the permit is renewed, the City can reimburse adjacent residents the Nuisance fine proceeds; most would say retroactive back to last year’s residential sound study including the cost of the study.
Hope this helps Lynn. Sorry for my old Engineering wordiness….I indeed need a tech writer as Mr. Shank would agree!
Best Regards

Jesse,
I have to agree with Mr. Cosart. The most egregious issue is the high decibel noise from the blowers and vacuums which violates the criteria of the Special Use Permit.
However, the City needs to also consider the implications of the blatant after hours open access and the constant intrusion in the public walkway.
After all the warnings and documented incidents of blocking of the public walkway by cars as they exit the carwash, if there is any kind of pedestrian injury because of it, I would
be concerned that the City would be exposed to significant litigation.
None of us want to see either of those things happen.
Simply put, this "industrial use", as it currently operates, is not appropriate or safe for a residential neighborhood.
Thank you for your consistent communication with us.
Best,
Lynn

Thanks Jesse. For the record, the terrible location, improper previous issued special use permit and significant NUISANCE is way more than a “sound/noise study”.
Independent Experts already recommend 8 critical common development changes implemented to the existing operations as well as moving the car wash totally, due to the close “hard walls and residential units”.
Hopefully you and the City intend to witness the car wash first hand at maximum capacity with zooming vacuum cycling, yelling, honking and both wash lanes operating and cycling, not to mention at all hours, on Sunday and in the City easements.
Hope this helps.

VIA EMAIL
RE: Phil and Amity Provenzano, Philthy Philz Car Wash, Special Use Permit PC 2013-03 renewal at 150 C Ave., Coronado CA 92118, case number CE 2209-005.
Dear Mr. Brown:
Please find this correspondence on behalf of my clients regarding the Planning Commission's analysis in determining the renewal of the Special Use Permit in this matter.
The use of the parcel in question as a car wash began in 1992. My clients opened Philthy Philz car wash in the spring of 2021. They have invested over $800,000 in the business. The Special Use permit has been in existence since at least 2013.
The law in California is clear that once a special use permit has been issued and the permit holder has relied upon it and incurred material expense, a vested property right is acquired and the power of the municipality to revoke it is limited. It is a long-standing principal that renewal of the permit is required unless the permittee fails to comply with reasonable terms or conditions expressed in the permit or if there is a compelling public necessity. O'Hagen v. Board of Zoning Adjustment (1971) 19 Cal.App. 3Rd 151, 158.
In the instant matter, there can be no finding that the permittees have failed to comply with the terms or conditions expressed in the permit. The permittees have been consistently been willing and agreeable to fix any alleged violation. They have been in constant contact with the Planning Commission to ensure that they can stay in full compliance It is my understanding that there are presently no allegations of non-conforming use or violation of any noise or public right of way ordinance All alleged prior violations have been addressed by the permittees.
As set forth in the of Rick Tavares, the noise analysis conducted by the complaining neighbor, as well as the noise analysis conducted by the City, were improperly conducted, are scientifically flawed and an inadequate and inappropriate basis to conclude that the car wash is in violation of any noise ordinance. There are also multiple existing businesses in the immediate area contributing excessive noise greater than that produced by the car wash.
Attachment 9
City of Coronado Page 826
There is no basis to conclude that the car wash is in violation of anything, nor have the Provenanos been provided with any additional Notice of Violation or advised that they continue to be in violation Most importantly, if the Planning Commission finds that there are any presently existing violation allegations, my clients contend that they are entitled to know what the violations are and are entitled to have the opportunity to resolve any outstanding alleged violations, as they have consistently done in the past.
Phillip and Amity Provenzano made a substantial investment in Coronado and are exemplary business owners. They invested, and have acted, in good faith. They have always worked to be a good member of the community. And they are. Absent abuse of the conditions of their permit or allegations of public nuisance, long-standing law in California mandates that the Special Use permit be renewed.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Daniel Callaway
