RE: BLUE BIRD CAR WASH
Dear Planner,
On behalf of Blue Bird Car Wash we are pleased to submit the attached application and supporting
materials for a new car wash building for Design Review. This project will consist of a new single story
building located at the corner of East Overland Road and Silverstone Way. The tentative address for this
site is 1475 S. Silverstone Way. This project was previously reviewed and approved by Meridian under
DES, CZC (A-2020-0080), but has expired.
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 6,923 SF single story building. Site access is proposed off
of Silverstone Way thru a shared access drive that extends to the West to serve additional lots. Customers
will enter a vehicle que drive from the West and circle around to enter the wash tunnel from the South
side and exit thru the North where they will have access to the site exit or the vacuum plaza.
The proposed building is located on the East side of the property, parallel to Silverstone Way. Wash
tunnel access is on the South side of the site while the exit is on the North. The parking area consists of a
row of 10 vacuum stalls and 3 employee parking stalls adjacent to the building offset by a 5’ wide
sidewalk, and a row of 14 vacuum stalls opposite. A landscaping island separates the parking area from
the drive lane, with landscape islands also highlighting the wash tunnel entry and exit points. A trash
enclosure is located on the North side of the building, near the wash tunnel exit, where it gives access to
the trash collection vehicles.
Building elevations take advantage of material changes and variation in height to provide visual interest.
Materials include split-face concrete block, porcelain tile, aluminum composite panels, fiber cement lap
siding featuring a wood grain texture, and asphalt shingle roofing. Exterior windows and storefront entry
systems are to be clear anodized aluminum with additional openings on the East elevation utilizing glass
block. Each end of the building features an elevated shed roof to accentuate the entry and the exit to the
wash tunnel. Both the entry and exit ends of the building are articulated with material changes as well as
changes in plane. Connecting each end is the structure of the wash tunnel itself, a split-face block that is
to be articulated with signage and lighting. A painted tube steel eyebrow awning also helps to indicate
vehicular entry and exit points to the building. In between the elevated elements at the ends of the
building we have a split-face block structure that has a raised parapet section in the middle of the wall. At
the east side of the building, which is the street side, this raised area consists of tile and acm panel
accents. At the vacuum plaza (west) side, we have created a similar look with cmu pilasters and color
changes in the cmu block. Both long sides of the building will feature lighted sign elements and will not
have a parapet height run of over 50’ without featuring some articulation.
Signage and graphics play a large role in the aesthetics of the building. We’ve included concept
elevations from a sign vendor showing the intent of signage elements including color, form, and lighting
of the various sign elements. The signage will be addressed in a separate permit application.
This application has been prepared in coordination with the Meridian Design Manual. We expect that you
will find it complete and generally as discussed. Should you have any questions don't hesitate to contact
us.
Sincerely,
R. Damon Beard
