Citizen Participation Final Report 
SUPER STAR CAR WASH 
 
Brief Description of Proposal 
The Citizen Participation Final Report provides information about the 
implementation of the Citizen Participation Plan (“CPP”) for Super Star Car Wash 
(“SSCW”) which is proposing to develop an express car wash on approximately 1.16± 
acres located south of the southwest corner of Olive Avenue and 51st Avenue (the “Site”). 
SSCW is requesting a Conditional Use Permit.  The Site is zoned General 
Commercial (C-2) and designated Planned Commercial (PC) on the General Plan.  An 
express car wash is permitted as a “Convenience Use” in C-2 subject to a Conditional 
Use Permit (CUP) and therefore is compatible with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the 
General Plan’s land use designation of PC,  and neighboring commercial uses.   
SSCW is proposing a new approximately 4,620 square foot wash building with a 
state-of-the art, high efficiency full service express conveyor car wash tunnel system, 3 
point of sale express pay stations, and 27 self-served vacuum stations.    
The Citizen Participation Final Report provides information about how the 
Applicant reached out to citizens, neighbors, nearby businesses, public agencies and 
interested persons to talk with them about and gather their input on the proposed plans 
and actions addressed in the applications.  
Notifications 
 
Notification Letters were mailed out on July 27, 2023 to the 300’ property owners, 
interested parties, and additional parties that included specific information about the 
proposed development, a plan of the proposed development, and the date and time of 
the virtual neighborhood meeting.  The notification letter included a proposed Conceptual 
Site Plan and Conceptual Elevations.  The notification letter with exhibits is attached at 
Exhibit A. The lists of persons/entities who received the neighborhood notice letter 
included property owners within 300’ of the site (Exhibit B), as well as interested parties 
and additional parties (Exhibit C). The 300’ list was obtained from the Maricopa County 
Assessor’s website. The other lists were provided from the City of Glendale Planning 
Department. The Affidavit of Mailing is attached at Exhibit D affirming the notice was 
mailed in accordance with the Citizen Participation Process requirements as established 
in the City of Glendale’s Zoning Ordinance.

On August 14, 2023, a Neighborhood Meeting was conducted by Zoom video-
conferencing.  No property owners within 300’ of the Site, neighbors or interested parties 
attended the meeting.  A Neighborhood Meeting Summary is attached at Exhibit E 
documenting who appeared from the Super Star Car Wash Development Team as well 
as City staff. 
 
The Citizen Participation - Summary/Final Report is attached at Exhibit F.  
 
Sign Posting 
 
 
The CUP application is currently scheduled to go before the Planning Commission 
on September 28, 2023.  A sign will be posted on the Site publishing the date, time, and 
location of the Planning Commission Hearing at least 15 days prior to the hearing.  An 
Affidavit of Posting together with photos of the sign will be submitted to staff. 
 
Identify who may be directly and indirectly affected by the proposal and anyone 
who expressed interest or believes they will be affected. 
 
The intent of the C-2 Zoning District is to “accommodate either integrated or 
freestanding commercial uses and services. Uses serve both neighborhood scale as 
well as community level needs.” This proposal fits that intent by providing a commercial 
use that will serve the community’s needs in an appropriate location. Currently, a 
portion of the Site is being utilized as a parking lot and the remainder of the Site is 
undeveloped. To the north of the Site is a commercial center including a CVS, zoned C-
2. Surrounding the Site on the south and west is a Walmart and associated parking lot 
zoned C-2. To the east (across 51st Avenue) there is a condominium community zoned 
R-4. This proposed car wash is appropriate for the area and existing designations. 
 
Identify any concerns the above individuals may have. 
 
 
No known negative impacts to the nearby properties and neighbors.   
 
How will the individuals be provided an opportunity to discuss the proposal with 
the Applicant if issues or questions continue or suddenly arise after distribution 
of the notification letter.   
 
Contact information for the Applicant’s representatives and staff assigned to the 
case were included in the neighborhood meeting letter.  To date, neither the Applicant or 
staff have received any communications from property owners, neighbors, or interested 
parties expressing any concerns or opposition to the proposed development.
