South County Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram is requesting zoning for a car wash and detailing facility, including a photography studio for vehicles, on the southeast side of Lemay Ferry Road and Victory Drive. It would require a change in zoning for the 0.69-acre site from C-3 Shopping District to C-8 Planned Commercial District. 

Kromal, Inc. for Tidal Wave Car Wash, is requesting a conditional use permit in the C-2 Shopping District to operate a car wash facility near the intersection of Tesson Ferry and Butler Hill roads. 

The Call first reported in May 2021 that Tidal Wave’s website had listed a new location as “coming soon” at 13047 Butler Crest Drive, off Butler Hill Road and across from the old MetLife Building. According to the website, that Tidal Wave would include both a full service and express wash. 

If the Butler Hill Tidal Wave is approved, it would be the third Tidal Wave in South County, including additional locations in Concord Village and Sunset Hills. The Tidal Wave website also lists a “Mehlville” location as coming soon at 4500 Lemay Ferry Road.

Both proposals are in the Mehlville School District and council district of 6th District County Councilman Ernie Trakas.
