MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: March 27, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of an Ordinance for PD-294-C (Planned Development District-294-
Commercial) to amend the Detail Site Plan to allow the renovation and expansion of
existing car wash facility to include self-service vacuums on 1.020 acres on property
located at 250 S. Denton Tap, and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
The request is to allow the renovation and expansion of the existing car wash facility to include 15 self-
service vacuums.
Introduction:
The existing car wash was approved in 1993 and currently operates as a full-service car wash. The
prospective owners propose to convert the facility into a state of the art express car wash. This would
entail replacing the existing facility’s equipment with modern equipment and the addition of 15 new
vacuuming stalls. The facility is proposed to be open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The existing site has
very limited landscaping. The proposed changes to the site include increasing the landscaping to 30% of
the lot area. The exterior façade will be updated to include additional stone on the front façade with split-
face block wainscoting and a new metal roof and awnings and be architecturally compatible with the
recently renovated oil change center to the south.
Analysis:
On February 13, 2018, by unanimous vote, City Council approved this Planned Development District,
subject to the Planning and Zoning Conditions, which have been incorporated into the Ordinance.

Car Wash, with the following conditions:
