PROJECT NARRATIVE IN SUPPORT OF THE CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION FOR AN EXPRESS AUTO SPA TO BE LOCATED AT 5119 BETHANY HOME ROAD GLENDALE ARIZONA The Petitioner/applicant seeks to establish an automated car wash facility with vacuums. The maintenance of the establishment is minimal at best. The car wash is a belt fed system that uses the minimal amount of water and organic, plant-based, biodegradable wash products that are environmentally friendly, non-toxic and safe for disposal through the system. Water usage of the proposed use is less than nearly all other car wash systems and car wash facilities. The operation of the proposed use will in no way endanger the public health, safety or general welfare of any portion of the community. No material is emptied into the city water system. It is emptied into the septic system. Like other car wash facilities, this will bring a needed & desired use by the community. Though there are other car wash facilities in the area, this is the ONLY one that has a conveyor belt and a touches system. The operation is simple, safe and unobtrusive. Traffic will not be disrupted. A traffic study was conducted and concluded no impact on the public right of way. The stacking allows for many vehicles on the site. Lighting does not escape the property line, based on the design, site plan & angles of lighting throughout the facility. Sound has been previously tested and measured and other uses have never exceeded any regulated, fixed maximum decibels allowed. The traffic decibels exceed the decibels created by the operation of this facility. The vacuums are enclosed and trap sound rather than emitting any. Any commercial use upon this property will increase use therefore, a special use will not otherwise endanger the public health, safety or general welfare any more than any other commercial use. The proposed special use is compatible with adjacent properties and other property within the immediate vicinity of the special use. The CONDITIONAL USE will not interfere or be in conflict with the spirit, intent or letter of the law of the Ordinance regarding the City land use policies. Those policies seek to create a flow, uninterrupted use, quiet enjoyment, functionality & unobstructed ingress/egress to the public way. The CONDITIONAL USE proposed will in no way be a hindrance to the City land use policies. Generally, the operation will conduct business from sunrise to sunset. Though automated, there will be a minimum of 3 employees on site during all times and a maximum of 6 employees during peak hours. CUP22-12 July 5, 2023 APPROVED City of Glendale Planning Division
