RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed specific use permit and site plan to allow a car wash, with the following conditions:
1. The applicant receive approval of a variance to allow the proposed bay door for the car wash to be oriented towards Eldorado Parkway.
2. The applicant satisfy the conditions as shown on the Standard Conditions for Site Plan Approval Checklist, attached.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 5,760 square foot car wash (McKinney Car Wash) on 1.33 acres at the southwest corner of Eldorado Parkway and Hudson Crossing.
• The zoning for the subject property (“C1” - Neighborhood Commercial District) requires that a specific use permit be granted in order for a car wash to be constructed and operated on the subject property. As part of the specific use permit request, the applicant has submitted a site layout exhibit detailing the building location, overhead door locations, screening devices and parking areas.
• In addition to the specific use permit request the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the proposed bay door for the drive thru car wash to be oriented towards public right of way (Eldorado Parkway). Typically, variances are requested during the site plan review process; however, since a site layout exhibit is required for the specific use permit request Staff has combined the site plan and specific use permit into one request. Approval of the specific use permit shall also constitute approval of the site plan for the proposed car wash. The variance request is detailed further below.
• On November 10, 2015, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to recommend approval for an associated rezoning request (CASE 15-284Z) for the subject property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “C1” - Neighborhood Commercial District. The City Council voted 7-0-0 to approve the rezoning request.
