Board denies special exception for standalone car wash on US 36, cites Midtown pedestrian goals
Summary
The Avon Board of Zoning Appeals denied a special-exception request for Rush Wash & Roll at 6913 East US Highway 36 after finding a standalone car wash would conflict with the Midtown District's pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use goals in the Unified Development Ordinance; the board adopted findings documenting the denial.
The Avon Board of Zoning Appeals read Unified Development Ordinance criteria for a special exception under UDO 2.10(e) for Rush Wash & Roll at 6913 East US Highway 36 and determined that a standalone car wash would be inconsistent with the town's Midtown District recommendation for pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use redevelopment. The chair read that the use would "be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community" and that it would "thwart the type of pedestrian friendly redevelopment" envisioned in the comprehensive plan; the board decided to deny the special exception and moved to adopt findings of fact documenting that denial.
A motion to accept the findings of fact for SE 26-01 (Rush Wash & Roll) was made, seconded and approved by roll call. The findings, as read into the public record, referenced UDO standards, adjacent property impacts and compatibility concerns and were adopted by the board to document the rationale for denial.
