MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 Reason for objection The lack of footpaths in the area already puts pedestrians at risk – additional vehicle traffic as a result of the car wash will increase this risk. Applicant’s response The location chosen for the car wash operator was specifically selected as it is at the end of a car park and does not interfere with the accessibility from surrounding car parking areas into the centre entrances. There should be no increase (or any) risk associated with the proposal. Reason for objection Two (2) other car washes already exist in close proximity – there is no need for an additional car wash in this area. Applicant’s response Again, we see this as service to customers providing the convenience of being able to have your car washed whilst in the centre. The locations of competing car washes do not offer this convenience. Further the majority of competing car washes (such as BP) are of an automatic wash which is a different product. Reason for objection The proposed car wash will result in noise pollution due to additional vehicle movements and noise of machines used to clean the cars. Applicant’s response The car wash is a hand car wash rather than automatic or mechanical. Please see operators letter for more detailed response. Reason for objection Trading hours, particularly once Sunday trading is introduced, will result in an adverse impact upon the ability for surrounding residents to have “quiet time” in the area. Applicant’s response Not relevant. This application is about a car wash, not about trading hours. Reason for objection Adverse impact upon property values. Applicant’s response Subjective. Cannot see how a car wash on the roof of an existing structure would affect land values. Reason for objection Potential target for anti-social behaviour. Applicant’s response The car wash is manned full time by a number of car wash staff. If anything the visual presence of permanent staff in the car park should deter anti-social behaviour. 108
MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 Reason for objection Does not form part of the strategic plan for Precinct 5 of TPS38. Applicant’s response Automatic Car Wash does form a ‘preferred use’ under TPS38. The fact that this is a hand car wash is more likely a case of the definition not being considered at the time of preparing the TPS38. Applicant’s Justification In addition to the above, the proposed operator of the development, Magic Hand Car Wash, have provided the following additional information in support of the proposal:- "Magic Hand Car Wash is a franchised network of 30 stores in shopping centre car parks nationally. Data in relation to daily and hourly vehicle numbers is held by head office for all stores. We can confirm that vehicle holding times across all stores are consistent with centre average visit times. This suggests the behaviour of the car wash clients is the same as the particular centres. We can confirm that the business’ serve the regular shopping centre customers and we do not have any data to suggest that the car wash drives increased traffic. The car wash operation is a “hand car wash” model. All aspects of the vehicle cleaning and detailing is being completed by hand. The use of equipment is limited to the following: a. Central ducted vacuum cleaner b. High pressure cleaners c. Hand held buff machine d. Extraction steam clean unit Equipment is held in an equipment room and the hand held buff and steam clean unit are used in the cleaning bays. To date we are yet to receive a complaint from noise and believe that the design of the sites and use of machinery complies with EPA regulations." Comment The proposed manual car wash will operate during the business hours of the shopping centre. The applicant has indicated to the City that the business model of the proposed car wash will involve the cleaning of customers’ vehicles who have visited the shopping centre for the purpose of shopping. The cleaning of customers vehicles is therefore considered to be ancillary to the main reason for customers visiting the site. It is possible that some customers may visit the motor vehicle wash for the sole purpose of having their vehicle cleaned however the applicant has advised that this type of clientele is not anticipated to make up a significant share of the customer base. Additionally it is considered that the proposed location of the car wash, being on the decked parking level and therefore not visible or immediately accessible from any of the surrounding streets, will help prevent washonly vehicle trips. Based on the business model, the car wash is not considered to generate any additional amount of traffic to the shopping centre and is therefore unlikely to have a detrimental impact on the amenity of the locality. 109
