ITEM #10

DISCUSSION: This property has been used as a car park facility for 20+ years. Park’n Fly is
proposing to provide a free car wash to enhance their customers experience, a
service they are introducing nationwide in order to remain competitive. Several
customer parking spaces are being removed to accommodate the car wash and
proposed landscaping. The proposed car wash would be located to the front or
western portion of the site, by the exit lanes. It will be a single tunnel touchless
high pressure wash that is approximately 42 feet in length. The building will be
located approximately 280 feet inside of the property and will match the existing
building with its blue standing seam metal roof and building with a split face block
building.
With this revision to the property the applicant is also proposing to improve fire
access by reconfiguring the gated access to the canopy section of the site and
moving the canopies back in certain areas. The revised Landscape Plan indicates
all existing landscaping to remain and new landscaping proposed around the car
wash area. An additional 21 trees and shrubs will be planted around the outer
perimeter of the site where there are gaps currently, and these areas will be irrigated.
