ITEM SUMMARY:
Forming America, Ltd. has petitioned the City to amend their existing special use permit for a fifth time
at 1200 N Prince Crossing Road in the M Manufacturing District for ancillary outside storage on the
property. The amendment is to update the controlling site plan for the special use permit so it is
reflective of what has actually been constructed on the site. The petitioner originally received approval
for their special use permit in 2007 and it is been amended over time to allow more time for the
required paving to be completed. In 2019, a fourth amendment was approved that required the
petitioner to provide a financial security that the City would hold onto until such time that all paving per
the controlling site plan was completed.
The petitioner has paved all portions of the property currently being used for outside storage. There is
approximately 64,000 square feet that was originally to be paved for outside storage but remains
unpaved. The petitioner has indicated they have no need for this storage area any longer and
therefore do not need to pave. This is acceptable provided they do not place any outside storage on
this area to remain unpaved. For their financial security to be eligible for release, however, they must
complete all of the paving identified on the controlling site plan. As such, they are requesting this
amendment so their controlling site plan will replicate what portions of the property they are using for
outside storage, as they have indicated they have no intention to utilize any more of the property for
outside storage.
At their October 3 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the fifth amendment to the Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the requested Fifth Amendment to the Special Use Permit for
1200 N Prince Crossing Road.

After review of the requested special use for a car wash for the SUBJECT REALTY, the Plan
Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval based on the following
findings of fact.
(1) Is necessary for the public convenience at the location or, the case of existing nonconforming
uses, a special use permit will make the use more compatible with its surroundings. ***This
standard should be interpreted as indicating whether or not the proposed use is good for the
public at that particular physical location, and not whether or not the use itself is needed
there***
No change in use is occurring on the property and no additional site improvements are
proposed. The purpose of the amendment is to amend the controlling site plan to be reflective
of the actual improvements made on the property. Staff is of the opinion the petitioner has
satisfied this finding.

will be protected:
No additional site improvements are proposed. The petitioner has previously performed the
required site improvements to satisfy this finding. Staff is of the opinion the petitioner _has

(3) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it
is located:
No change in use is occurring on the property and no additional site improvements are proposed.
The purpose of the amendment is to amend the controlling site plan to be reflective of the actual
improvements made on the property. Less outside storage will occur on the property than what
