Info Only: Land use for this parcel is Industrial (I), with a small portion of land within the residential land use (L). The proposed use listed on the site plan, site data & narrative suggest that this is a "truck wash for ... fleet vehicles and trucks that cannot obtain that service from a typical commercial car wash," (approximately 7,188 square feet) which is a permitted use in this land use category. As illustrated on the site plan the proposed buildings and commercial activity are all located on the property with an industrial land use category; no improvements (except landscaping) are proposed on the portion of property with residential land use designation.
Info Only/Condition: - During the Plat approval in July of 2022, the applicant agreed to provide a traffic diverter to limit the egress from NW 1st St to NW 16th Ave to left out only for traffic coming from the project. The site plan shows a "no right turn" sign and a painted left turn lane marking. Engineering division to confirm that the proposed condition is permitted and satisfies the condition.
Info/ Condition: The city has sufficient water and wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate the proposal based on recycled water rates typical for a car wash. Utilities to confirm sufficient water demand for the specifics of this proposed application.
Info Only: As this project abuts residential, compatibility is a major concern and a public outreach meeting and/or a meeting with the district commissioner is advised. Please provide in your narrative all that is being provided to address the compatibility of the existing use with the proposed residential abutting. (landscaping/buffers, separation of the building from the property lines, operationally/circulation to limit noise like backups or idle engines, no extended parking or overnight, turning to exit property, CPTED, etc.)
