Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2025-081 - Special Use Permit for car wash with outdoor facilities - Charlie's Car Wash, 950 NW Chipman Road; Charlie's Car Wash, LLC, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant requests a special use permit (SUP) to allow for the addition of outdoor, self-service, vacuum stations to the existing car wash facility. A full-service car wash where all activity is conducted inside a building, as is the case with the existing Charlie’s Car Wash facility, is a use permitted by right in the CP-2 zoning district and therefore requires no SUP. In contrast, a car wash with outdoor facilities is a use that is only permitted with approval of an SUP. The proposed addition of the outdoor, self-serve, vacuum stations now triggers the requirement for an SUP to allow the proposed expansion of services outside the confines of the building. The applicant requests a 20-year time period for the SUP.
No expansion of the existing tunnel car wash building is proposed with this application. If the SUP is approved, the scope of work is limited to the conversion of 22 existing parking spaces to 16 vacuum stations; construction of a 12’ x 12’ vacuum equipment shelter; and minor parking lot alterations. The applicant will enter into a shared parking agreement to use 29 parking spaces for overflow employee parking on the Spira Care site to the north. The proposed scope of site work does not rise to the level of requiring preliminary development plan approval and thus only requires staff review and approval of a final development plan. The scope of the SUP application is limited to the change in land use from an indoor, full-service, car wash to a car wash with outdoor facilities.
