Franklin's residents are set to weigh in on the future of their car wash options as Tsunami Express Car Wash Franklin LLC seeks to tweak the conditions of its special use permit, with a public hearing scheduled yesterday at the city hall. The car wash, located at 6449 S Whitnall Edge Road, proposed an amendment to its existing Resolution No. 2024-8222, the details of which have yet to be publicly revealed but will undoubtedly impact how the business operates within the community.
The hearing, kicking off at 6 p.m. at The Common Council Chambers, 9229 W Loomis Rd, provides a platform for citizens to express their concerns or support for the proposed changes to the car wash's operation—they’ve made it their business to have a say about the business in their backyard, and this hearing stands as the official avenue for that dialogue. In accordance with the city's Unified Development Ordinance, the hearing offers a transparent process for altering special use permits.
Information covering the application, property maps, and the prospective ordinance revisions are currently accessible for public scrutinity at the Franklin City Hall's Department of City Development. These documents will provide the necessary context for those interested in the proceedings and are an integral part of the public review process leading up to the hearing.
Post-hearing, the proposed adjustments to Tsunami Express Car Wash’s special use permit march forward to the Plan Commission's desk then spill over to the Common Council for further deliberation, debates which could very well shape the face, feel, and flow of Tsunami's presence in Franklin. The public is invited to attend the public hearing, voicing their perspective and playing their part in the civic decision-making process.
