HomeMy WebLinkAboutCASEY'S CAR WASH - MAJOR AMENDMENT - 23-09 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - PLANNING OBJECTIVESThe project has balanced the new impervious areas and the pervious landscape
areas to create a net zero gain. The landscape island along the entry is being
modified to accommodate the entry to the redesigned south parking area and its
connection the east parking lot. New landscape plant material will be added to the
east side of the building. The landscaping along Mason Street will remain the same.
A new large landscape area surrounding the patio area will be added. It will create a
comfortable seating area for Cafe and full service car wash users. The landscape
area will be separated from the patio by a low seat wall.
The project will be an important redevelopment of a portion of the site, responding to
customer needs and comfort. It will also enhance the visual aesthetics of the site
both from Mason Street and the Mason Street Corridor.
All required submittal items specified on the submittal check list have been included
in the submittal as required by the City. We look forward to working with the City on
the review of the project.

The project is located at 4315 S. Mason Street on the west side. Casey Car Wash
currently operates from the site, offering full and self service car washes and a detail
shop. All current operations will continue. The proposed changes will enhance
client service, comfort and retention. A comfortable waiting area in the form of a
patio, and food service are proposed.
The proposal calls for 4 (half) of the self serve car wash bays to be enclosed for the
use of a small cafe, and novelty retail shop. The cafe will occupy 600sf, the novelty
retail shop will occupy 300sf and a common restroom / mechanical area of 300 sf,
for a total of 1,200sf. Both facilities will share a common restroom and mechanical.
A new patio will be built on the north side of the cafe to service the cafe and full
service wash customers and is centrally located between the buildings. The new
patio will be built over the existing pavement. Significant upgrades to the fagade of
the building will be part of the remodel Signage is proposed for the east side of the
building. Entries to the building will be from the south and north sides. A new walk is
proposed on the south side.
The existing parking spaces will be restriped to accommodate the updated layout.
There will be a total of 24 parking spaces with 0 being added. The majority of the
anticipated business will come from existing customers waiting for the vehicle to be
washed at the full service building. It is anticipated that a small portion of the cafe
business will be generated by off site customers. The offsite customers will include
a few new vehicular trips to the site and a number of walk up clients from the many
surrounding businesses. Much of the new offsite traffic will be offsite by the traffic
generated by the four self serve wash bays that are being replaced by the caf6 and
novelty retail.
