Fruitland Park commissioners gave their blessings Thursday to a site plan for new car wash on U.S. Hwy. 27/441.
The 3,200-square-foot International Car Wash will be located on U.S. Hwy. 27/441 between Legends Cafe and Mattress Firm, near the Best Flooring Center and Wal-Mart. It will be a single-tunnel automatic car wash with no detailing provided. The site will include a small office and vacuum stations for customers. And the facility plans to recycle 80 percent of the water used to clean vehicles at the 1.7-acre site.
The facility, which gained approval from the city’s Planning and Zoning Board on Sept. 20, will have to comply with the Fruitland Park’s non-residential design standards and Lake County’s requirements to design, permit and construct a 5-foot sidewalk – about 109 feet – along Dixie Avenue. The car wash will be accessed by customers on U.S. Hwy. 27/441 but not from Dixie Avenue.
