QuikTrip fuel station at Lamb Boulevard

Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.

What: QuikTrip request at the southwest corner of Washington Avenue and Lamb Boulevard: tear down a vacant former pharmacy for a 6,445 sq ft convenience store with fuel pumps and off-premise beer and wine sales, with a waiver of distance from a school and design waivers (no car wash).
Where it stands: Approved with two added conditions, though staff recommended denial.
Next: Final action unless appealed to the city clerk within 10 days.

Staff found the waivers (building orientation, façade, landscape buffer, school distance) showed incompatibility.
Applicant added a rear stripe and faux window to the back elevation, and offered conditions: downward-directed decorative wall lighting on all four sides and large shade trees. Planning staff said any request to work with Metro on security cameras would be direction to the applicant, not a condition.
Vice Chair Schlottman questioned alcohol sales about 100 ft from a nearby charter school (pre-kindergarten through fifth grade); other members noted it is beer and wine only and the old pharmacy and a grocery across the street already sell alcohol. He said full liquor would not have had his support.
