Approximately 50 cy of grading are required but all grading material will be balanced on-site. The rear of the proposed commercial center will be screened from the adjacent residential property by a proposed 6 ft masonry wall. A 24 ft wide ingress-only driveway to the parking lot is proposed along Gale Avenue on the northwest corner of the property. A 23 ft wide egress-only driveway to the parking lot is proposed along a public alley on the southeast corner of the property. A directional traffic sign placed near the alley exit will direct vehicles east toward Valencia Avenue, diverting traffic away from Turnball Canyon Road, a secondary highway serving the 60 freeway to the south. The site was previously developed as an automobile service station and is currently vacant. Soil and ground water contamination was detected during removal of underground storage tanks ~7 yrs ago. The site is undergoing remediation subject to the approval of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.
