CA-3-2020 The Westerner Carwash 3360 South Redwood Road C-3 (3.53 Acres) The applicant, Nichols Naylor Architects, representing Jason Hook with the Westerner, is requesting a conditional use amendment for a carwash at 3360 South Redwood Road. This property is zoned C-3, Transitional Commercial and the West Valley City General Plan designates this area as General Commercial. The surrounding zone is C2 and R-1-6 to the north, C-3 to the south and west and C-2 to the east across Redwood Road. The surrounding uses include Glens Tires and single unit residential to the north, auto service and storage units to the south and west, and the Blue Boutique and State Liquor Store to the east. The Westerner has operated from this site since the late 1960’s – early 1970’s. There have been some additions, remodels and demolitions over the years on the site. The latest improvements were the parking lot expansion in 2013 (PR-4-2013). This project included pavement, lighting and landscaping onsite as well as the Redwood Streetscape Improvements. At this time the owner of the Westerner, Jason Hook, would like to construct a tunnel carwash facility on the south east corner of the property. The building would be constructed of two colors and textures of concrete block. The building ends will be charcoal colored split face block and the center will be white honed block. The storefront and canopies will be black metal. The building is required to meet the Commercial Design Standards. The Redwood Streetscape will remain in place and the interior parking lot and lighting will be slightly modified to accommodate the new use. The carwash would operate from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. with 3 employees. There are 14 stalls that will have vacuum facilities. That equipment will be removed and those stalls will be available as parking when the carwash is closed. The Westerner opens at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday – Saturday. The existing Westerner building is approximately 16,000 sqft. About 11,000 sqft of this building is used for the Club space. The new carwash building is proposed to be 6,134 sqft. The parking requirements in the Code have changed substantially since this use originally began and they have also added a significant amount of new parking. Based off the current code the 11,000 sqft Club space would require 220 parking spaces (1/50 sqft). There are 320 parking stalls currently and the new proposed site layout has 220. Staff feels that with the historical use of this property and the layout in the building that this parking is adequate for the proposed uses. A site review was conducted for this application and there are some maintenance issues with the fencing and landscaping that will need to be corrected prior to issuance of a business license for the new use. Staff Alternatives: Approval, subject to the resolution of any concerns raised at the public hearing as well as the following: 1. The building must be completed per the approved plans and be designed in accordance with the Commercial Design Standards and the Development Agreement. 2. The site shall be landscaped per the approved plans and all existing landscaping must be maintained and/or replaced if it is in poor condition. 3.
