Page 16 of 20 leaving the car wash tunnel are exiting on the north side in a circular traffic pattern. It is stated that the car wash will not have a towel dry service. As customers exit out on the northern end, they are immediately wrapping around to the parking spaces to utilize the self-service vacuum stalls that face the car wash. City code states “electronic devices such as loudspeakers or devices, and similar instruments, shall not be located within 50 feet of any adjacent lot regardless of use or zoning district.” In the Applicant’s narrative, they’ve provided an illustration that shows the locations of the proposed menu boards. For Panera, the electronic menu board is shown on the north side of the building. Again, the multi-tenant building is setback 45 feet from the north property line. This need for flexibility was discussed with the Applicant during the concept review. The schematics for Rocket Car Wash include an illustration for the point of sale canopy and island layout which is approximately 25 feet from the west property line. No additional information was included in the submittal on amplification or display features of the automated pay stations for the car wash. As noted above, the Applicant has reference to “smart signage” shown on the point of sale island layout, but has stated that will not be part of this review. Planning Staff did request an updated site plan and operational logistics (i.e. menu board, attendant, pay terminal, loud speakers, etc.) for how the point of sale transactions will function for the car wash. That information was not provided by the time of writing this report. Based on the site plans submitted, the Applicant is seeking flexibility from the requirement for placement of electronic devices. 3. Traffic Study and Site Circulation The site currently has four access points to the Subject Property. The access closest to Lexington Avenue and the westerly access onto the adjacent property are being discounted entirely as part of the proposal. The Applicant intends to utilize two accesses for the proposed development. Access 1 will be located on the north side of Grey Fox Road, approximately 240 feet west of Lexington Avenue, with one egress lanes and one ingress lane. Access 1 will be aligned with the existing grocery access to the south to minimize conflict areas. Access 2 will also be located on Grey Fox Road, approximately 360 feet west of Lexington Avenue, with one egress lane and one ingress lane. A traffic study has been prepared (see Attachment J for summary section of report). Lastly during the previous reviews, the Applicant was asked to demonstrate how semitrailer traffic would maneuver around the Subject Property. The Applicant did not provide as part of their submission a plan illustrating vehicle movements. The Public Works Director/City Engineer has requested this information. Additional information will be necessary to evaluate turning radius and may provide additional comment on site functionality once received. The pedestrian routes were identified as part of the civil plan exhibits. 4. 1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications A public hearing for a CUP and PUD request is required before the request can be brought before the City Council. The applicant or its representative shall be given the opportunity to appear before the Planning Commission to answer questions or give explanations regarding the proposal. Upon completion of the public hearing and its study and consideration of the application, the Planning Commission shall submit its written report, containing its findings, conclusions, and recommendations as to the application, to the City Council.
