Summary

The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved use and a 10-foot rear setback variance for a proposed laundromat at 2301 Victory Drive, with staff noting additional fire-protection requirements may be needed at permit stage.

At the May 20 virtual meeting, applicant Nick Sheth requested permission to establish a laundromat at 2301 Victory Drive and asked for a 10-foot rear setback variance to place the facility adjacent to the Chevron station.

Sheth said the proposed design channels exhaust to the roof and estimated "six to seven people" would be present at any time. Clerk/Zoning Administrator Deatre Denion said the board needed to approve both the use and the setback variance; Building Inspector Bob Fischer noted that additional fire protections may be necessary during the building-permit review because of the proximity to other buildings. Commissioner Len Hiers moved to approve the use and the 10-foot rear setback variance, seconded by Commissioner John Mattingly; the motion passed unanimously.

The commission’s approval allows the applicant to pursue building permits, subject to any building code conditions, including fire-protection measures identified by the Building Inspector.
