Zoning Decisions This Month

Car Wash SUP at 1561 East Broad Street

Denied.

Triangle Engineering's request for a specific use permit to allow a Mayflower Car Wash on 2.6 acres at 1561 East Broad Street was denied. The proposed express tunnel car wash would have included 10 full-time and 5 part-time employees, operating 8AM-7PM weekdays and 10AM-6PM Sundays. Staff cited three failed conditions: incompatibility with adjacent residential uses, unsafe traffic design at the curved driveway access point near US 287, and inadequate nuisance prevention with only a 6-foot screening wall on the west side.
