Planning Commission backs 24-hour fuel stop

PALMDALE — The Planning Commission on Thursday provided the initial approvals required for a fueling station on Avenue S just west of the Antelope Valley Freeway. The project consists of a Maverik 24-hour fueling station and convenience store that will offer prepackaged food and snacks, but not sell alcohol or tobacco products. The commission approved an amendment to the General Plan to allow for a septic system, a zone change from neighborhood commercial to regional commercial, a Conditional Use Permit and a site plan. The project will now proceed to the City Council for final approval.
