Item 7 (Landshark Car Wash): No public testimony was offered; the applicant spoke in favor and addressed concerns.

Discussion Items

Item 2 – Legent Orthopedic Hospital (SUP Amendment): Staff presented a request to amend existing SUP-413 to allow a nursing care facility (inpatient neurological rehab) on the third floor of the existing hospital at 1401 E. Trinity Mills Rd. No physical changes to the building. Staff recommended approval with stipulations (max 16 patients). The Commission asked about current use and compatibility; applicant answered questions. Approved unanimously.
Item 3 – Garages of America (PD Amendment): Staff presented a proposal to reestablish PD-128 for personal storage/garage condominiums and mini-storage on 10.889 acres at Marsh Lane and Running Duke Drive. The site has three tracts: Tract 1 (self-storage), Tract 2 (garage condos), Tract 3 (light industrial with prohibited uses). Staff recommended approval with additional landscaping buffering. The applicant (Fred Ganns) confirmed no painting/repair activities. Approved with 5 in favor, 1 abstention (Commissioner Doyle, who missed part of the discussion), and 2 absent.
Item 4 – The Enclave (PD Amendment): Staff presented a re-zoning of 3.8 acres at 2400 Briardale Dr. from SF-12/20 to SF-8.4/18 via a PD (PD-119 amendment). The proposal includes six lots with 3,000 sq. ft. minimum living area, rear-entry garages, and alley access. The property will be merged with the Parkside Estates HOA. Staff recommended approval. Commissioners discussed lot sizes, drainage/floodplain, and HOA controls. The HOA president supported the project. Approved unanimously.
Items 5 & 6 – Grand Homes (Comp Plan & Zoning): Two companion cases for a 5-acre tract at 4409 Charles St. Staff presented a request to change the Future Land Use Map from Medium Intensity Office to Single-Family Detached Residential (Item 5) and to establish a PD with base zoning SF-8.4/18 for a 13-lot gated subdivision (Item 6). The previous 19-lot plan was denied; the new plan features side-entry garages, eight-foot columns, and enhanced landscaping. No public opposition. Approved unanimously for both items.
Item 7 – Landshark Car Wash (SUP): Staff presented a request for a full-service car wash on 1.35 acres at 2126 N. Josey Lane. Staff recommended denial due to traffic circulation concerns and incompatibility with the city’s gateway corridor vision. The applicant (Doug Galloway) argued the design would exceed standards and that there is demand (no car wash within 3.5 miles). After discussion, the Commission voted 5-2 to approve with staff stipulations, over the objections of Chair Windrow and Commissioner Yarborough, who felt the use was inappropriate for the corridor.
Election of Vice Chair: The Commission elected Commissioner Jim Doyle as Vice Chair. The motion was made by Commissioner Yarborough and seconded by Commissioner Foster, and passed unanimously.
