Tommy's Express car wash

TenFord Ventures partner described the local ownership plan, 15 on-site jobs, CMU wall buffering, security fencing and design changes made after neighbor input.

Civil engineer for the project said landscaping and stormwater plans will meet or exceed code and cited the relocated entrances improving traffic flow.

Project representative thanked neighbors, detailed the three added provisos (relocated emergency exit, defined emergency language, landscaping maintenance) and summarized the requested variances.

Ulloa Street homeowner supported the project after working with the applicant, but asked for more precise emergency-access language and a landscaping plan conformance requirement.

Mid-City resident opposed the car wash, citing traffic at a busy intersection (up to 600 cars/day), vacuum noise across from restored homes, flooding risk, and suburban-style design.
