Council approves Carvana/Odessa site plan at 18270 Territorial Road with conditions
Summary
After staff presented a site‑plan review for a proposed 68,000 sq. ft. reconditioning and inspection facility on a 35.5‑acre site, the council approved the plan (planning commission recommended 4‑1) and asked staff to press screening along the railroad corridor and ensure required permits for fuel storage and paint‑booth operations.
The Dayton City Council approved a site‑plan review for a proposed vehicle inspection and reconditioning facility at 18270 Territorial Road on Jan. 27.
Planning staff said the site spans roughly 35.5 acres and that the applicant’s revised plans incorporated a car‑wash addition and internal layout changes to comply with I‑1 district standards. The proposed building footprint is about 68,000 square feet and will replace outdoor vehicle storage currently on site. Staff told the council the planning commission and the Economic Development Authority recommended approval (planning commission vote 4–1) and that the project must meet zoning setbacks and building‑permit requirements before a permit can be issued.
Council members pressed for screening and landscaping along the railroad corridor and County Road 81, noting a large gas‑line easement on the north property line may affect plantings. A councilmember sought assurance that state and county environmental and hazardous‑material requirements for fuel storage and paint booths would be satisfied. Staff said those systems and any aboveground tanks would be reviewed by the fire and building departments and, where applicable, by MPCA and Hennepin County permitting.
After discussion a motion to approve the site plan was made and seconded; the council approved it by voice vote (5–0).
What’s next: Staff will require the applicant to satisfy building‑permit and environmental review requirements and work with property owner to pursue voluntary screening along the railroad corridor where feasible.
