Is There A Self-service Car Wash In Rockville

Flagship Car Wash is proposing to demolish the cocky-service carwash bays at its 975 Rollins Avenue location in Rockville. The proposal is part of a programme to update the existing mechanical carwash, and improve vehicular circulation through the property. Under the latest Rockville zoning, a carwash is a non-conforming use now at this location. Flagship tin can continue operations hither, as its last approvals from the late 1990s are grandfathered in, as the holding was under a different zoning and so.

Existing site configuration with the
cocky-service carwash bays

If canonical past the Metropolis of Rockville, Flagship will demolish the cocky-service trophy, and replace them with 25 vacuum spaces and an unspecified number of total-service carwash finishing spaces. The vacuum space area volition also contain seating for Flagship customers.

Proposed configuration with new
vacuum lanes and updated traffic pattern

A new traffic circulation design would also be established for the property. Customers would continue to enter with their vehicles from the Rollins Avenue driveway. They would initially be in a single line, but so be funneled into one of three stacking lanes. At the direction of an employee, the customer would leave their stacking lane, and enter a roundabout. From the roundabout, the customer would bulldoze into i of the lanes for the mechanical car wash tunnel. After exiting the wash tunnel, the customer would accept the choice of turning into the new full-service finishing lanes and vacuum space surface area, or exiting the holding birthday onto Rollins Avenue.

No changes are planned for the mechanical auto launder, which will keep to operate. Flagship says it will coordinate the demolition process with its contractor, so that the disconnection of water and electrical utilities from the self-service trophy will non affect service to other utilty customers in the area. If canonical, the changes are expected to reduce traffic to the site, every bit Flagship volition lose all self-service customers who do not switch to the mechanical carwash.
