Via Verde 76 Gas Station Remodel and Code Amendments
Summary
The new owner of the long-neglected Via Verde 76 station is investing roughly $1 million to convert the dead service bays into a bigger convenience store with fresh food, coffee, and Thrifty ice cream. The council scrapped the old 1,000-square-foot cap for this specific plan area and gave gas stations citywide a half-space-per-pump parking credit. Some worry about competition with the nearby Vons and alcohol sales near the 57 freeway.
