Hendersonville Planning Commission approves Valvoline site plan on East Main Street

The Hendersonville Planning Commission meeting on April 1, 2025, spotlighted the proposed Valvoline oil change facility, a significant addition to the city's commercial landscape. Located at 258 East Main Street, the 2,088 square foot facility is part of the Mayfair Plan Development, which also includes popular establishments like Chick-fil-A and Office Depot.

Timothy, a representative from the planning team, detailed the site plan, noting that the facility will occupy 0.7 acres and provide 17 parking spaces—well above the required seven. However, the project seeks a waiver for overhead doors facing the street, a common requirement for corner lots. To mitigate visual impact, the developers have committed to enhanced landscaping and a landscape wall.

Luke Clauser, the project manager from the engineering firm, expressed confidence in the plan, stating, "We were all good," and welcomed any questions from the commission. One member inquired about the status of the street adjacent to the site, confirming it is a public road owned by the city.

The commission's discussion reflected a positive outlook on the project, with members acknowledging the benefits of expanding local business. As the meeting progressed, the commission moved towards a vote, indicating strong support for the Valvoline site plan, which promises to enhance the commercial offerings in Hendersonville.
