Planning commission conditionally approves ServicePRO oil‑change site plan, requires BZA variances
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend conditional approval of a ServicePRO drive‑through oil‑change on a 0.42‑acre B‑1 parcel at Corporate Woods, contingent on variances from the BZA, full civil drawings, drainage calculations and an easement for driveway access through the right of way.
The Green City Planning & Zoning Commission voted to conditionally approve a site plan for a ServicePRO drive‑through oil‑change facility on a substandard 0.42‑acre B‑1 parcel at the northeast corner of Corporate Woods Parkway and Corporate Woods Circle.
Jeff Lockley of KIM Incorporated presented the project, saying the proposed building is under 1,500 square feet and the two‑bay layout relies on stacking spaces and a bypass lane to manage queuing. “We’re just struggling with the size of the site,” Lockley said, describing prior efforts to work with the neighboring GetGo/Circle K parcel and the parcel’s wetlands constraints.
Staff recommended conditional approval, listing required actions before permits can be issued: obtain variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals for front and rear building setbacks, the number of stacking spaces and sign setback; submit full civil improvement plans and drainage calculations for engineering review; and execute and record an easement that permits a short portion of the driveway to be located within the right of way. “We’re recommending conditional approval of the project contingent upon the receipt of the variances from the BZA, submission of all associated civil improvement plans, drainage calcs and execution of an easement agreement with the city,” the staff member said.
Commissioners pressed the applicant on whether the site could connect with adjacent fueling/car‑wash facilities and why the item had been tabled in 2020. The applicant and staff said COVID‑era timing, lease restraints and wetlands limited earlier options; the applicant said neighbors declined earlier land sales. Commissioners acknowledged concerns about multiple variances for a tight lot but several members said the proposed use was preferable to leaving the parcel vacant.
A motion to approve the site plan with the staff conditions was made by a commission member and seconded; the motion passed on roll call with all present members voting yes. The approval is contingent on the applicant securing the listed variances and completing the civil, drainage and easement requirements before final permit approvals.
Next steps: the applicant must secure BZA variances, submit required engineering documents and record the easement before the city can issue permits.
