ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUEST – UDC 11-3H-4C3
The applicant has submitted a request for alternative compliance in accord with Table
11-5B-5. UDC Table 11-5B-5 allows an application for alternative compliance for lighting
standards for the pathway along State Highway 55 found in UDC 11-3H-4C3.
1. The applicant is seeking to install lighting differing from that of the approved historical
street lighting for the Eagle Road/State Highway 55 Corridor. Lighting fixtures
matching those being proposed for alternative compliance will be incorporated
throughout the site and will enhance the cohesiveness of the design.
After reviewing the applicant’s request, staff finds the proposal to install different
lighting throughout the site and along the Eagle Road/State Highway 55 Corridor meets
the intent of the Unified Development Code and contributes to a cohesive and attractive
design of the development. Therefore, the proposed lighting design and locations are
approved.
ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE FINDINGS:
In order to grant approval for alternative compliance, the director shall determine the
following findings:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR
The Director finds that because of the installation of the proposed lighting style
throughout the site, strict adherence to UDC 11-3H-4C3 along Eagle Rd./SH-55 is not
feasible to maintain a cohesive design throughout the development.
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the
requirements; and
The Director finds the proposed lighting style contributes to the overall design of the
development, will match the lighting on the carwash, lube center and throughout the site
and compliments the overall aesthetic of the development. Proposed lighting style and
finish is similar in design to approved lighting. Proposed lighting is within the approved
wattage, distribution/performance and spacing of approved SH-55 Corridor lighting

style.
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties.
The Director finds that the proposed alternative will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or impair the use/character of the surrounding properties.
ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUEST – UDC 11-3C-6
The applicant has submitted a request for alternative compliance in accord with Table
11-5B-5. UDC Table 11-5B-5 allows an application for alternative compliance for parking
requirements found in UDC 11-3C-6.
1. The applicant is seeking to install a reduced number of parking spaces (12) from the
required number (28). The carwash and lube center are both auto-centric in use and will
not require that customers find parking as vehicles will be inside the facility receiving
services. Customers will either be in their vehicle through the duration of a carwash or
in the lobby of the building while their vehicle is being serviced in the lube center.
Additionally, public transit stops in close proximity offer customers and employees an
alternative to vehicular transportation to the site.
After reviewing the applicant’s request, staff finds the proposal to install a reduced
number of parking spaces for the Fast Eddy’s carwash and lube center meets the intent
of the Unified Development Code and will provide adequate parking given the nature of
the use on the site.
ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE FINDINGS:
In order to grant approval for alternative compliance, the director shall determine the
following findings:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR
The Director finds that because of the nature of the use of the site as an auto-centric
carwash and lube center, the full number of required parking spaces in no t required or
feasible.
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the
requirements; and
The Director finds the proposed number of parking stalls will provide adequate parking
for employees and customers at the carwash and lube center site. Additionally, the
applicant intends to construct a convenience store on the property to the north that will
provide ample parking for both properties.
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties.
The Director finds that the proposed alternative will not be detrimental to the public

welfare or impair the use/character of the surrounding properties.
