Body

Resolved, that the Rochester Hills City Council hereby approves the amended Conditional Use for a car wash facility at 10 E. Auburn, on Parcel No. 70-15-35-100-003, based on plans received by the Planning Department on April 17, 2024, with the following findings.

 

Findings

 

A.  The use will promote the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance.

 

B.  The site has been designed and is proposed to be operated, maintained, and managed so as to be compatible, harmonious, and appropriate in appearance with the existing and planned character of the general vicinity, adjacent uses of land, and the capacity of public services and facilities affected by the use.

 

C.  The proposal will have a positive impact on the community as a whole and the surrounding area by further offering additional car cleaning options along with additional job opportunities.

 

D.  The proposed development is served adequately by essential public facilities and services, such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, water and sewer, drainage ways, and refuse disposal.

 

E.  The proposed development, with the revised driveway and cross connection configurations, will not be detrimental, hazardous, or disturbing to existing or future neighboring land uses, persons, property, or the public welfare.

Conditions

B.  If, in the determination of City staff, the intensity of the operation changes or increases, in terms of traffic, queuing, noise, hours, lighting, odor, or other aspects that may cause adverse off-site impact, City staff may require and order the conditional use approval to be remanded to the Planning Commission and City Council as necessary for re-examination of the conditional use approval and conditions for possible revocation, modification or supplementation.

 

C.  Submit for Staff review revised plans showing the straightened northern curb line of the drive through to allow for additional parking spaces on the Culver's property, and to relocate the existing hydrant and ground sign as necessary, at the applicant's expense, as approved by Culver's and City Staff.
