Nov. 14—A car wash could be coming to the intersection of Silver Bluff Road, Hitchcock Parkway and Pine Log Road.

On the agenda for the 6 p.m. Tuesday meeting of the Aiken Planning Commission is a request for the annexation and zoning of properties located at 404 and 408 Silver Bluff Road between Hitchcock Parkway and Silver Bluff Road.

The properties are owned by Alfred W. and Beverly L. Hunter.

The application for annexation and zoning is being made by TWAS Properties LLC. The company is a Delaware corporation formed on Aug. 26, 2021. It was registered in South Carolina on Feb. 9.

This suggests that the Hunters will sell the property to the company.

The application asks for the properties to be zoned general business.

Renderings indicate that the existing buildings on the site would be torn down to make way for a Tidal Wave Auto Spa.

Tidal Wave Auto Spa was founded in 1999 by a Thomaston, Ga. couple. It began expanding into the southeast and midwest in 2004. The company is known for its membership club.

The Planning Commission meeting is set to begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday with a worksession and continue with the regular meeting at 6 p.m. The worksession will be held in Room 315 of the municipal building located at 111 Chesterfield St. SW. The regular meeting will be held in the city council chambers of the same building.

Also at the meeting, the commission will review plans for development projects for the old Pizza Hut on Whiskey Road and a new 330-unit rental townhome community planned for Aiken's northside off Rutland Drive.
