APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
On September 20, 2021, the City Council approved Ordinance 21-O-0022 granting a Final Planned Unit
Development (PUD) and Special Use Permit (SUP) for the development and operation of a car wash at 511 East
Roosevelt Road in the B-2 General Business District. The petitioner, Dan Gunsteen of Express Car Wash, Inc.,
applied for a building permit on August 19, 2022 to develop the site and construct the facility. The ordinance
approving the Final PUD and SUP did not establish a deadline for when construction must begin. In cases such as
this, the Zoning Code stipulates that the Final PUD approval shall expire one year from the date of approval if
construction has not commenced, per Section 15.5 (A)(2), and that the SUP approval shall expire one year from
the date of approval if the use has not become operational, per Section 5.5-8. Section 15.5 of the Zoning Code,
however, provides the City Council the ability to grant an extension to an SUP, including the SUP for a Final PUD
and car wash. After filing a request for an extension in September of 2022, the City Council granted a one-year
extension to complete the project.
The building permit application and plans were approved by City staff in Spring of 2023. The approved permit,
however, has not been picked up nor paid for. The construction, therefore, has still not yet begun. In June of this
year, the applicant indicated to staff of the desire to pursue the project and has submitted a request for a second
one-year extension of the approval for the Final PUD and SUP. If the second extension is approved, the applicant
has signaled they will obtain their permit and begin construction in a quick manner.
Staff recommends that the approval for the Final PUD and SUP be extended until July 15, 2025 to develop the site,
construct the building, and become operational.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve a second extension requested by Dun Gunsteen of Express Car Wash, Inc. for the previously approved
Final PUD and SUP to develop and operate a proposed car wash at 511 E Roosevelt Road for one year.
