The Queen Creek Town Council is set to act on a proposed Circle K with a service station, car wash and convenience store on the southwest corner of Germann and Meridian roads when it meets on Wednesday.
The company is seeking a recommendation for a conditional-use permit and site plan approval for a 4,600-square-foot fuel canopy with seven fueling positions, a 5,200-square-foot convenience store, and a 4,714-square-foot car wash located on a vacant 2.8-acre site within the Barney Farms Commercial corner, according to a staff report.
In May, a formal site plan application was submitted to the town’s planning division for the remaining commercial property at the 9.6-acre Barney Farms Commercial corner across from the Mesa city boundary on Germann Road.
The application includes plans for four office/medical spaces ranging in size from 8,775 square feet to 11,050 square feet, the report stated.
“The proposed Circle K is part of a larger parcel rezoned specifically to provide commercial goods and services to the surrounding area as part of a coordinated vision for commercial development across the larger site,” the Circle K project narrative stated.
The car wash will be internally connected just south of the fuel canopy and convenience store, the report continued. The Circle K and car wash will be separated by the proposed office/medical office buildings directly south of the car wash.
“Screen walls will be constructed along Germann and Meridian roads to block vehicle headlights and conceal fuel pumping stations,” the report stated.
On Oct. 14, the Queen Creek Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approving the conditional-use permit and site plan for the Circle K.
The council’s meeting starts at 6:30 p.m, Nov. 4 at Community Chambers, 20727 E. Civic Parkway.
