2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant is requesting Planning Commission approval to allow an automobile washing establishment. According to the applicant s letter of intent, the proposed establishment will allow customers to vacuum their vehicle before or after the exit the car wash. Customers will pay through an ATM style machine. The proposed automobile washing establishment is approximately 5,400 square feet in size and will be a self-serve automated facility. Hours of operation are proposed between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., seven days a week. The site plan shows one primary building with vacutech canopy accessory structures in front of the car wash that are proposed for the vacuum islands. In addition, the site plan also shows two (2) vacutech equipment enclosures, one (1) trash enclosure, and a canopy covering the ATM pay stations. Approximately 53 parking spaces are shown within the vacuum areas, which is sufficient for the proposed use. The site plan shows that vehicles would enter the site from the east and circle around to the west of the site to the three (3) ATM pay stations. (The existing entry on the west side of the subject site is proposed to be removed.) Customers would enter the car wash from the west side and exit on the east side where they can exit the site, return to the vacuum islands, or exit into the adjacent commercial center. Approximately six (6) vehicle stacking spaces are provided before the three (3) ATM pay stations. Another five (5) vehicle stacking spaces are provided before the entrance to the car wash. Approximately 12 feet of landscaping is proposed next to Craig Road. (Note: The perimeter sidewalk has already been installed next to the back of curb.) Landscaping is also shown adjacent to the west, east, and south property lines, and at the end of the parking rows where vacuum islands are proposed. It appears landscaping has already been installed for all areas with the previous development of the commercial center, except for the islands at the end of the parking rows. The site plan also shows that a new monument sign is proposed next to Craig Road on the east side of the subject site. Building elevations depict a building with an overall height of approximately 24 feet, with average heights ranging between 15 and 17 feet. The letter of intent indicate a masonry construction with stucco features. The building elevations also indicate an Eldorado stone wainscoting, metal and fabric (Sunbrella) awnings, cornice elements, and decorative metal roof. Windows are also proposed for the north side of the building. A consistent level of detailing has been shown for all elevations. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: Public Works: Fire Prevention: Please see the attached memorandum. Please see the attached memorandum. 2

3 ANALYSIS: In general, the proposed site plan and building elevations comply with the design standards for commercial developments. While elevations have not been provided for the vacutech equipment enclosures or trash enclosure, such enclosures are required to match the design of the principal building in material and colors. In addition, a roof is also required for these enclosures. This would be considered minor and can be reviewed by staff at the time building permits are requested. Requirements for Approval of a Special Use Permit In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission may, by motion, grant a special use permit if the Planning Commission finds, from the evidence presented, that all of the following facts exist: 1. The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Master Plan and all applicable provisions of this Code and applicable State and Federal regulations; 2. The proposed use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district in which it is located and any applicable use-specific standards and criteria in Chapter of this Code; 3. The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses in terms of scale, site design, and operating characteristics (such as, but not limited to, hours of operation, traffic generation, lighting, noise, odor, dust, and other external impacts); 4. Any significant adverse impacts anticipated to result from the use will be mitigated or offset to the maximum extent practicable; and 5. Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police and fire protection, and roads and transportation, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service for existing development. Staff has no objections to the proposed use. The proposed use is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, and the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not anticipate any negative impacts on the surrounding properties. RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development and Compliance Department recommends that UN be approved subject to the following conditions: 3
