Arden Hills, MN 55112 November 16, 2023 Paae 4 Crew is seeking only a relatively minor deviation from the strict application of the City Code to allow a setback reduction for the canopy. This will allow customers and staff to interact in a covered environment, which is consistent with Crew's standard design. This will allow for a substantial investment in environmental remediation and redevelopment of the Property in order to allow for its productive reuse. The Project further supports the City's Comp Plan vision for the "Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue Business Area" by reducing traffic congestion, combining access points, and investing in redevelopment of a functionally obsolete site. 4. Conditional Use Permit: The Project requires a CUP pursuant to City Code Section 1320.09. The Project is consistent with the intent of the City Code based on the factors under City Code 1355.04, Subd. 3.13, as follows: a. Traffic and Parking Conditions; The Project is anticipated to handle all traffic and parking on -site and expected to produce approximately 2,200 Trips per day. The Project will include 18 parking stalls, and 10 vacuum stalls. There will be 4 queueing lanes that can accommodate up to 7 cars each. The trip generation for the development was calculated based on data collected at a comparable Crew Car Wash location in Maple Grove, MN. The weather on the days of the data collection were mid-40's and sunny, it is anticipated that trip generation and queuing data would be representative of a normal day. It is anticipated that the Arden Hills location will operate similarly to the Maple Grove location since they both have one carwash tunnel. However, the Arden Hills location will have XIC service available. Per Crew Carwash, it is anticipated that 10% to 15% of vehicles that get a carwash will also utilize XIC. This is not anticipated to have a significant impact on trip generation. The proposed car wash is anticipated to generate 2,143 daily trips, with 233 trips generated during the car wash peak hour of 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on a weekday and 254 trips generated during the mid -day peak (12:OOPM — 1:00PM) on Saturday. A detailed summary of the expected traffic conditions is provided in the Traffic Memorandum included with the submittal. b. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics; The Project is designed to avoid off -site noise, light, or any other pollution. The vehicle cleaning will occur within the enclosed structures with access limited by closing garage doors, which will reduce off -site noise. The vacuums are located to the west of the Property, approximately 75 feet to the Property line in order to reduce off -site noise. All storm water will be captured and treated on site and all water will be recaptured. The Project is not anticipated to create any odors. The site lighting will consist of both building and pole -mounted LED light fixtures to fully illuminate the property during opening hours. The lighting plan is designed to reduce off -site light pollution.
