SECTION 1. Findings.
The city Counell finds and

(b) Pending such study and amendment of the Zoning
ordinance, lt is necessary on an interim basis to allow
automobile washing facilities in designated zoning districts,
subject to specified standards. without such an interim measure,
new automobile washing facilitles would be effectively banned
from all districts in the City. Automobile washing facilities
are a necessary service and convenience to Santa Monlca citizens
1
so long as the development of the facility appropriately takes
into account the potential effect on the integrity and character
of the district in which the use it to be located; the
compatibility of the use with the surrounding neighborhood and
general area in which the use is to be located; and other
potential detrimental effects.
(c) The existing ban on automobile washing facilities poses
a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and
welfare of the citizens, for the reasons set forth above, and the
potential for continued denial of such use would result in a
threat to public health, safety, or welfare,
