This project was planned to address the issues and concerns raised at the
Conceptual Review, January 24, 2000; meet the requirements and intent of the new
Land Use Code; and to provide safe travel movements for all vehicles and
pedestrians using the site.
The existing site has some history to the current property boundary, easements, and
agreements with the FirsTier Bank. The bank originally owned a portion of the
southwest corner of the site, which they used for parking. There was a boundary
line adjustment to exchange for land adjacent to the bank's property, see site plan
for Property Line Adjustments and Easements. The proposed plan shows
reconfigdring the bank's existing parking to work better for both property owners.

Principle T-1: The physical organization of the city will be supported by a framework of
transportation• alternatives that maximize access and mobility throughout the city,
while reducing the dependence upon the private automobile.

existing sidewalk along College Avenue. The entry will be planned to be clearly
visible and delineated by paving.

Principle -CAD -1: Each addition to the street system will be designed with
consideration to the visual character and the experience of the citizens who will
use the street system and the adjacent property. Together, the layout of the
street network and the streets themselves will. -contribute to the character, form

RE: Richie's Express Carwash Project Development Plan
(PDP)
Statement of Planning Objectives
Dear Ron:
Project Development Plan
The proposed Project Development Plan is for a Site Plan approval for Richie's
Express Carwash. The project is located at 3141 South College Avenue just south
of Foothills Parkway. It is in the C-Commercial District; and the proposed land use
of car washing (vehicle minor repair, servicing, and maintenance), is allowed in this
zoning district with Type I Administrative Review.
Richie's Express Carwash is an automated drive through facility. There will be 3-5
employees at any given time.
Ingress, and egress will be from Foothills Parkway. The plan is to close the existing
connection to College Avenue. There is an.existing access easement across the
northeast corner of the site for the FirsTier Bank egress onto College Avenue. The .
.proposed plan is to abandon the existing easement and then direct vehicular traffic
through the site to egress onto,Foothills Parkway.
Appropriate City Plan Principles and Policies achieved by this P.D.P.:
Principle LU-2: The city will maintain and enhance its character and sense of place as
defined by its neighborhoods, districts, corridors, and edges.
Policy LU-2.2:. Urban Design.
1~
The proposed, use will contribute positively to the C-Commercial District.
