Spotless Car Wash
1851 Ridge Pike, Upper Providence, PA · 8,390 sq ft non-residential, retail · 1.2 acres
About this project
Flagship Pennsylvania Propco is demolishing an existing residential building and auto repair shop to construct an 8,390 sq ft car wash facility on 1.2 acres at 1851 Ridge Pike in the Neighborhood Commercial district. The facility will connect to public water and sewer services, with stormwater managed through an underground detention basin.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: underground detention basin requires maintenance agreement with township, drainage structure maintenance instructions needed on plans, plan sheet fonts too small and unreadable, combined preliminary/final plan approach requires waiver
