RESOLUTION 23-035
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR MODIFICATIONS TO A CAR WASH FACILITY
IN THE PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the City of St. Anthony Village received a request from the applicant and owner of
3801 Stinson Boulevard for a Conditional Use Permit related to modifying car wash vacuum
facilities on said property; and
WHEREAS, the property consists of approximately .65 acres and is located in the Silver Lake
Village PUD, Planned Unit Development zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the subject building houses a car wash and three independent vacuum stations,
with a separate parking lot; and
WHEREAS, car wash facilities are allowed by Conditional Use Permit in the Commercial areas
of the City; and
WHEREAS, consideration of a conditional use permit in such areas is required to avoid
unreasonable negative impacts on adjoining commercial and residential property, and well as on
the public rights of way; and
WHEREAS, the conditions identified as a part of an approval for the proposed Conditional Use
Permit are necessary to ensure fall compliance with the St. Anthony Village zoning ordinance
and other public safety needs; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered all of the comments and the staff report,
which are incorporated by reference into the resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 20, 2023 on the
application and the applicant and members of the public were provided the opportunity to present
information to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit
PUD Amendment with the conditions noted in the Staff report, and as listed below; and
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings of fact in support of the resolution
for approval:
1. The property is located in an area of mixed uses on a major collector roadway.
2. The proposed use is identified as an allowed Conditional Use in the Commercial zoning
district, and as such, potentially allowed in the PUD district by Conditional Use Permit.
3. The additional impacts of the proposed use related to the potential for noise and lights.
4. The proposed conditions of approval are intended to mitigate those additional impacts.
5. The proposed business use and expansion constitutes a reasonable use of the property.
6. The proposed uses, constructed and operated within the requirements of the Code and the
conditions of this resolution, will not impact surrounding property or public areas beyond
the expected impacts of permitted, compliant uses in the commercial zoning district, nor
negatively impact health, safety, or welfare of the community.
7. With the proposed conditions, the City Council finds that there is no evidence to believe
that the use will have a detrimental effect on neighboring uses or property values.
NOW THEREFORE MAY IT BE RESOVLED, that the City Council of the
City of St. Anthony Village accepts the findings and recommendations documented in the staff
report and approves Conditional Use Permit authorizing modifications to the vacuum system for
the car wash facility as shown on the plans submitted on or before May 16, 2023, at 3801 Stinson
Boulevard, in accordance with the following conditions:
1. The applicant adds a structured enclosure of maintenance free fencing consisting of
complementary materials surrounding (at least on three sides) the proposed common
equipment shown on the plan, at least as tall as the equipment, to screen views and
potential noise issues from adjoining residential property. This fencing should be
supplemented by a planting of shrubs surrounding the enclosure.
2. The applicant verifies that the additional noise generated by the equipment will be
dissipated to no more than existing levels at the property line with the proposed
enclosure.
3. The applicant shall locate the equipment and enclosure to the west to maximize its
distance from the east property line, but no closer to Stinson Boulevard than the westerly
building wall.
4. The final location should be separated from the paved circulation spaces by concrete
curb.
5. The applicant provides a site plan, to scale, showing parking spaces for employees and
customers who park while drying their vehicles or performing other details. A total of
five such spaces should be adequate, in addition to the vacuum station locations.
6. The applicant should verify that lighting of the vacuum stations will not result in a
violation of the City Code lighting standards - .5 footcandles at the east property line, and
1.0 footcandles at the adjoining streets to the south and west. The applicant shall add side
shielding as described by the applicant's representative to each light bar to accomplish
this requirement.
Passed in regular session of the City Council on the 11 `h day of July, 2023.
