Title
Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request for a Specific Use Permit for a Car Wash on Approximately 0.72 Acres Known as Lot 3, Block 1, Racetrac Addition, Located at 3211 E. Broad St.; John Huffman of Broad Street Investments, LLC (SUP#20-020)
Requested Action
To consider the subject specific use permit request.
Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on January 4, 2021, and voted 7-0 to recommend approval. There was discussion regarding ingress and egress, how this business would interact with the adjacent car wash, customer waiting areas, signage, re-staining of the wood tower element, and what would happen to the existing dry cleaning business. The applicant indicated that customers would park their vehicles outside and a worker would then bring the vehicle inside to be worked on and customers could wait at the waiting room on-site or in the larger waiting room in the car wash next door, or leave and return when their vehicle was done. The applicant indicated that the Threads Dry Cleaning sign would be removed and the new sign for Clean Getaway Detail Center would be installed in its place and also agreed to re-stain the remainder of the wood tower element. The applicant hasn’t decided what would happen to the dry cleaning business, but indicated that if it continues on, it would be relocated to another site. The changes to accommodate the new detailing center use would likely happen over the course of a few months, once approved.
