Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of June 5, 2008 I I Cal. No. 08-18 Petition of Dan Doughe y for a Conditional Use Permit in the 3800 Bl ck North Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive for an aut matic car wash. Ms. Ashe presented the recommendation of staff: I The subject site, zoned B-2, Commercial District is located in the 380 Block of North Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, contains approximately 32,680 square feet and 's currently undeveloped. The petitioner is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the c nstruction of a state of the art Rainstorm Car Wash. The proposed building will be 3,656 square eet in area. It will contain a single bay in which the vehicles will drive through. The drive up 1 will accommodate eight (8) vehicles which feed from two (2) lanes into one. Also on site,ther will be seven(7) vacuum stalls. Staff supports the proposed Conditional Use Permit. Staff believes th�'proposed use of a carwash on this particular lot is compatible with the surrounding B-2 z ning as well as the neighboring commercial uses. According to Section XXII.A.3. there e three standards which must be met in order to grant a conditional use permit. The first stand d requires that the use be "necessary for the public convenience at the location." The proposed se is generally compatible with the neighboring uses along Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and pro ides a service which can be utilized by area residents. The proposed use also meets the second tandard. The facility is located and designed to be operated in a manner in which the public h alth, safety and welfare will be protected. Last, the facility does not appear it will cause subst tial injury to the value of other properties in the neighborhood as stated by the third standard. T e proposed carwash will be located next to a large gas station as well as next to an office wareh use building along Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The structure will be required to meet all appli able City codes and standards. The Conditional Use Permit has been reviewed by the City's Technica�Review Committee; '' Planning, Engineering, and Fire have all approved the proposed devel pment. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the petitio as submitted with the , following conditions: � ��I • The correct legal description is added to the Lighting Plan. I, �'I • The proposed Lighting Plan comes into compliance and meets�he current Zoning Ordinance. ' • The Landscaping Plan is approved pending the legal subdivision of the property. • Building permits will not be issued as proposed in the approvec�plan until the property is - legally subdivided. I Section XXII.A.2. requires the Plan Commission to hold a public he 'ng on a conditional use permit request, and then forward its report and recommendation to he City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 08-18 to t e City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. John Mickler asked if the nearby gas station had a carwash. Ms. she stated that it did have a carwash but the proposed carwash is a different owner.
