CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST CU03-28, GRAPEVINE
EXPRESS WASH
Staff recommends the City Council consider Conditional Use Permit Request CU03-28,
approve the second reading of this ordinance, and take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council considered and approved an ordinance on the first reading regarding a
request by Mr. Lanny Wilkinson of CU02-45 (Ord. 02-85) for an automotive car wash
facility, specifically to modify the location of the vacuum bays and landscape buffer
located along the western property line and revise the fire lane location. Mr. Wilkinson is
proposing to improve fire equipment access to both the subject site as well as the
adjacent site to the west by moving the landscape buffer and vacuum bays located
along the western side of the subject site in order to widen the driveway on the adjacent
site. The newly widened drive will be dedicated as a mutual access easement between
the two properties and will be utilized as an exit from the subject site. The applicant
requested a variance to the ten -foot sideyard landscape buffer in order to accomplish
this. At their public hearing on September 8, 2003, the Board of Zoning Adjustment
approved the request for a variance to the required ten -foot landscape buffer. With the
approval of the requested variance, all conditions necessary for approval of this
conditional use permit have been met.
Council approved the first reading of the ordinance for this request at their August 19,
2003 public hearing.
