A proposed Circle K fuel station, convenience store and car wash at the southwest corner of Germann and Meridian roads reaches the Queen Creek Town Council for a final decision Wednesday, Nov. 4.
The council meets at 6:30 p.m. in Community Chambers, 20727 E. Civic Parkway, the Queen Creek Independent reported. The applicant needs a conditional-use permit and site plan approval from the council.
What is proposed
According to the town staff report summarized by the Independent, the 2.8-acre vacant parcel would hold:
- a 4,600-square-foot canopy covering seven fueling positions
- a 5,200-square-foot convenience store, open 24 hours
- a 4,714-square-foot car wash, open 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The lot is part of the 9.6-acre Barney Farms Commercial corner, which faces the Mesa city line across Germann Road.
A separate site plan application filed with the town in May covers four office or medical buildings on the same corner, ranging from about 8,800 to 11,050 square feet, and those buildings would sit between the car wash and the rest of the gas station site.
The plan calls for full-access driveways onto both Germann and Meridian. Town staff recommended screen walls along both roads to block headlights and hide the pumps. The fuel canopy would be roughly 470 feet from the closest home and the car wash about 270 feet away.
