1 Mayor Stille commended on the studies ordered by the City. The City is an independent body, 2 and there was talk about the applicant ordering the studies which would have most likely come 3 back in favor of the applicant. 4 5 City Attorney Lindgren read five paragraphs to be included in the motion. 6 7 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to deny Resolution 8 21-024; a Resolution to approve a Conditional Use Permit for a car wash facility with vacuum 9 stations at 2701 Kenzie Terrance in the C, Commercial District with the following findings of 10 fact in support of the denial: 11 1. The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit requirement for the car wash use in the 12 Business zoning district is to consider whether or not the use can be compatible with 13 the neighboring land uses. 14 2. The proposed use will create noise, fumes, lights, and other potential negative 15 impacts on adjoining residential properties. 16 3. While some mitigation is possible to reduce those impacts to levels that may comply 17 with the minimum requirements of state standards, the impacts are nonetheless likely 18 to negatively affect the quality of life of the existing adjoining and nearby residents, 19 given the height, exposure, and nearness of those existing uses. 20 4. The zoning ordinance requires that to approve a Conditional Use Permit, the City 21 Council must determine that: “The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or 22 general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of 23 property in the vicinity.” 24 5. Based on the written record and the additional information provided at the March 9, 25 2021, City Council meeting, the City Council finds that (a) the required determination 26 cannot be made (b) that the use would be detrimental to health, safety, general 27 welfare, or property values in the vicinity of the proposed use; and (c) that 28 insufficient mitigating conditions are available to overcome this detrimental 29 incompatibility. 30 31 Motion carried 4-1 (Randle). 32 33 VII.
