SP #07-03
REQUEST
Mr. Harstad is seeking a special use permit to allow an expansion of the existing carwash
building located in a C-2, General Business zoning district, which is located at 7320 University
Avenue.
The property was granted a special use permit in 1970 to allow for a carwash. The petitioner is
proposing to construct a 26 ft. by 74 ft. (1,924 sq. ft.) addition to the west of the existing 2,100
square foot carwash. The addition will allow 4 additional self-service wash bays.
HISTORY AND ANALYSIS
The subject property is located on University Avenue, just north of 73�d Avenue and is zoned C-
2, General Business. The property was originally platted in 1965 as one lot that also
encompassed the lot south (7300 University Avenue) of the subject property. In 1970 the
property was developed and a special use permit was granted to allow the construction of the
existing self-service carwash and for an additional carwash and gas sales on the 7300
University Avenue property to the south. In 1977, a lot split was granted to separate the 7300
and 7320 University Avenue. At that time a variance was also granted to recognize a 5 ft. side
yard setback for the existing carwash building. Since that time the property has continued to
exist as a self-service carwash.
As stated above, the petitioner is seeking a special use permit to allow the expansion of the
existing carwash.

x Aerial of Property— Subject property outlined
Motor vehicle wash establishments are a permitted special use in the C-2 zoning district,
provided they meet the necessary requirements, related to building and site requirements,
subject to the stipulations suggested by staff. All of these requirements are being met with the
proposed addition, with the exception of the expansion of the existing 5 ft. side yard setback
along the southern side of the property and the hard surface setback requirement along the
western property line.
City Code requires a side yard setback of 15 ft. in the C-2, General Business zoning district.
When the subject property was split from 7300 University Avenue in 1977, a variance was also
granted to recognize the location of the existing carwash. Since, the petitioner is proposing to
add an additional 26 ft. of building at the 5 ft. setback, a variance is required.
City Code also requires a 20 ft. setback for all parking and hard surface areas from any public
right-of-way. The petitioner has also applied for a variance to reduce the hard surface setback
requirement from 20 ft. to 10 ft. so the new carwash bays will be more accessible. Both of these
variances will go before the Appeals Commission on June 13, 2007.

V,
Existing Building Entrance
The proposed addition meets all other setback and lot coverage requirements. City staff hasn't
heard from any neighboring property owners.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as motor vehicle wash
establishments are a permitted special use in the C-2, General Business zoning district,
provided that the proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit,
subject to stipulations.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be
attached.
9. The petitioner shall obtain any required permit prior to the start of construction.
2. The parking lot shall be restored to Code requirements for paving, curbing and painting
after the addition is completed.
3. The petitioner shall submit a drainage plan and receive City engineering staff approval
prior to issuance of a building permit.
4. The petitioner shall provide an easement from property owner to the south if the
dumpster enclosure is to remain at the property line, instead of the required 3 ft.
5. Landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of a
building permit.
