Not only that, but why would a gas station be allowed near the end of the runway even if it is on private property?

I believe Burbank has a runway that has a gas station across the street from the threshold. A Southwest flight ended up next to the pumps a few years ago; luckily, no fatalities.

BurbankKarl says it's no longer there.
