MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 10, 2019
Reference: Consider approval of a zoning change to S-1166R-LI (Special Use Permit-1166 Revised-
Light Industrial), to approve a revised site plan, landscape plans and building elevations
for the addition of a car wash, and adjusting access to the fire lane by removing some
canopies and relocation of internal gates, on approximately 16 acres of property located
at 800 S. Royal, at the request of Barnier Building Systems on behalf of Park’n Fly, the
owners of the property.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
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.
Introduction:
In 1994 a request was made to build a parking lot on this site. In 1999 a request to add canopy structures
was approved and in that same year Park’n Fly was granted permission to install a 10,000 -gallon
underground motor fuel tank for inner office and fleet refueling. This new request is to add a single
tunnel touchless carwash to the site.
Several customer parking spaces are proposed to be removed to accommodate the car wash and proposed
landscaping. 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. The building itself will be constructed of
split face block. Additional improvements to the property include improving 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.

On November 21, 2019 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (5-0) of S-1166R-
LI, Park’n Fly, subject to the following conditions:
