L Little Canada Planning Commission 10 July 1984 Page Two 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Evaluation: 1. The Comprehensive Plan issue was discussed in a Northwest Associated Consultant's memo dated 5 March 1984. The use of the site was generally identified and as such was evaluated positively. 2. The use of the site is regulated by the 8 -3 zoning district. The rezoning to 8 -3 was seen as compatible with the existing 8 -3 land uses which surround the site. 3. The performance standards with regard to parking areas have been met in all cases. Stalls and aisles are of sufficient dimensions and all non - paved areas are shown to be planted with sod. 4. No depreciation of the area is seen to be likely. Surrounding land uses are principally commercial in nature and parking areas are regular occurances as necessary, if not principal uses. 5. No additional City services will be necessary as the Noggsbreath Disco is responsible for providing its own parking lot security. This lot should be similarly regulated. Self Service Car Wash The PUD district requires an approval from the City or plans for any develop- ment. The applicant has proposed an eight hay self service car wash on the PUD. The City expressed concern that high volume traffic generators and any liquor establishment not be located on the site. These issues have been addressed in a Northwest Associated Consultant's memo dated 21 March 1984. These concerns do not appear to present any problems to the proposed development. The Zoning Ordinance requires two parking spaces per wash bay, totalling 16 spaces for this proposal. These have been provided in a pattern which should serve adequately, particularly since not all patrons will choose to stop afterward to dry or wax their car. The main concern is that the traffic circulation is sufficiently narked and signed to avoid any conflicts which can develop on a large paved surface such as this. Concrete tire bumpers may he appropriate to discourage cars from cutting straight across the parking area. In addition, painted directional arrows are recommended to route the traffic flow.
