The Property is currently owned by STORE Master Funding III, LLC. The site is currently developed as a vacant industrial building with an associated parking lot. This area includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway. This area is used by a number of small and large businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This area was largely developed between the 1950's and 1970's, though the retail area along Lexington Avenue has had some new development and redevelopment in the last 15 years. This area is marked as an area of possible redevelopment in 2040. Community Development Director Jagoe reviewed the Plan Evaluation, Design Standards and Conditional Use Permit requirements in further detail and recommended the Council hold a public hearing. Councilmember Holden asked why the City would be getting another car wash when there were three car washes already in the area. Community Development Director Jagoe explained City Code does allow for this use in the 13- 3 zoning district as a conditional use. She stated the City does not put restrictions on the number of car washes.
