MEMORANDUM To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:City Council Meeting – July 11, 2023 GC Project No.140.01 – 23.01 Request:Request for a Conditional Use Permit for additions to a Car Wash Facility in a PUD, Planned Unit Development District Property Address:3801 Stinson Boulevard Property PID:31-30-23-33-0004 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicants are seeking a Conditional Use Permit to modify and add vacuum facilities to an existing car wash at the above address. The North Star Car Wash is an automatic car wash building, with a few individual vacuum stations in a portion of the parking area near the exit from the wash building. Traffic enters the site – primarily from 38th Street NE, enters the car wash building at its east side, proceeds through the wash to the exit on the west side, and then may park to the south at individual vacuum locations near that exit. Traffic can exit the site back to 38th Street NE, or there is a shared access point to the 3803 parcel to the north. The applicant’s plans show the replacement of these individual vacuum sites with a common vacuum system all along the parking area on the south side of the building. What is currently an open parking area (adequate for approximately 10 parked vehicles) would be converted to 8 vacuum stations. These stations would be fed from an equipment area at the east end of the row of “parking” spaces. The plan drawing shows the equipment in an island area, but no curb or island currently exists in that space. It appears that the project would plan to add that island area. STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal during a public hearing at its regular meeting on June 20, 2023. The applicant was present, along with a representative of the applicant with specific experience relating to the vacuum system proposed. In addition, several members of the public were present. All members of the public who spoke, and two correspondents prior to the hearing, were supportive of the proposal. 17
