location by the snow removal provider. Development Timeline Upon approval from the City, Mister Car Wash intends to submit for building permits in 2024 with an anticipated construction start in summer 2024. There will be no phasing of the project, and construction duration is estimated at 8 months including demolition of the existing building. Comprehensive Plan & Zoning Map Consistency In addition to providing an amenity for the community of Arden Hills, the Mister Car Wash proposal supports multiple goals within the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Chapter 6: Land Use & Chapter 8: Economic Development and Redevelopment Chapter 6 Goal: Develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and character of our residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas while protecting the community's natural resources and developing a sustainable pattern for future development. Chapter 8 Goal: Promote the development, redevelopment, and maintenance of a viable, innovative, and diverse business environment serving Arden Hills and the metropolitan area. The Mister Car Wash proposal supports the goals of Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 by taking a dilapidated, closed restaurant and redeveloping it as a high quality, efficient express tunnel car wash. This new facility will offer a quality amenity which isn't currently offered within the city, in the central commercial district of Arden Hills. Mister has taken feedback from staff and City Council, along with direction from the code, to enhance the prototypical architecture and design of the building and site, to create a development that is in harmony with nearby properties and is visually appealing to the community. Chapter 10 — Protected Resources Goal: Preserve, protect, and restore the community's natural resources, including open spaces, lakes, wetlands, other significant natural features, and historic resources. Mister Car Wash supports the goals of Chapter 10 through our use of native landscaping and a site plan that provides landscaping on approximately thirty-five percent (35%) of the site, exceeding code requirements. Within our own new -build stores, our water reclamation systems allow us to use over 50% reclaimed/recycled water within the wash process, as well as reducing our freshwater usage by 25% due to our proprietary system design. Our wastewater systems are designed and maintained to ensure compliance with municipal water regulations. Mister regularly receives recognition from municipal water authorities on our processes for reducing harmful runoff and appreciation of our partnership to find creative solutions to improve our wastewater impact. Mister further supports this goal through the completion of a tree survey and implementation of tree mitigation measures. Additionally, Mister partners with Project Wet on a national basis to educate
