Staff: many online opposition submissions to car wash were duplicates or from outside notification area
Summary
Planning staff told the commission that while 46 written oppositions were received online regarding the proposed car wash, many submissions were duplicates or from addresses outside the notification area; staff identified about 20 unique opposing addresses within the broader set and said 13 mailed notices were sent under the requirement.
Staff reviewed the public-notice record for SUP26030003 and said they mailed 13 required notices but that 46 written oppositions had been submitted through the online form. Staff cautioned commissioners that many of the online submissions were duplicates, and several came from addresses outside the city's notification boundary; after review, staff identified about 20 unique opposing addresses within the overall set and said only one opposing letter came from an apparent property owner within the required notification area.
The presenter said most opposition comments lacked technical concerns and tended to be general statements of opposition such as "we just don't want another car wash here." Staff said they would continue to compile and verify the written comments and include an updated summary for the public hearing.
