SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North — Texaco Gas Station and Chicken Express; C
(Commercial)
South and East — Retail Shopping Center; R (Retail)
West — undeveloped; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996, as amended,
shows the property as suitable for neighborhood retail
uses.
DISCUSSION: This is a fairly simple request. The owner /operator of this
business desires to change the use of the existing carwash
building to a State Inspection Station. As explained by the
applicant, this inspection station will only perform inspections
on cars 1996 and newer, which utilizes computer technology,
not requiring the revving of engines within the building.
The external changes to the building will be limited to
replacement of the existing man -door and signage. The north
elevation, which faces internal to the site contains an existing
20 square -foot blue and white car wash sign to be removed.
No additional permanent signs will be installed on this
elevation. A nine square -foot State Inspection placard will be
placed on the southern elevation, which is most visible from
northbound Belt Line Road. All existing signage (22 square
feet) on the east elevation, which currently serves at the
entrance to the car wash, will be removed and no signage will
be installed. Finally, the west elevation, which faces Belt
Line Road, the existing "do not enter" symbol which is 3.8
square feet, will be removed from the left side of the door, and
a nine square -foot State Inspection Placard will be placed on
this elevation. In sum, 44 square feet of signs will be removed,
and replaced with two nine square foot signs, for a total of 18
square feet.
The landscape plan as approved in 1987, complied with the
landscaped requirements at that time. However, some of the
plants are currently missing. Therefore staff's recommendation
of approval is conditioned upon the landscaping being brought
into compliance with the landscape plan prior to the issuance of

The purpose of this proposal and change is lack of Car Wash
revenues.
We are going to perform Inspection on the vehicles, 1996 and newer.
The vehicle is turned off during the procedure. There is NOT going
to be any Carbon Monoxide involvement.
Therefore I don't think we need any ventilation or Carbon Monoxide
Protection.
Thanks
