AUENDA ITEM # 8A
FEBRUARY 12, 2007
AGENDA ITEM: Request from Auto Systems 2000 Plus, Inc. for aUse-by-Exception to allow
for the sale of used automobiles on a developed site within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning
'"" District located at 1075 Atlantic Boulevard.
SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP ,~~
Community Development Director
DATE: January 25, 2007
BACKGROUND: This Use-by-Exception (UBE-2007-01) is requested to allow for the sale of
used automobiles. This property and the existing building have been occupied by similar uses in the
past, but Section 24-63 (k) requires a new Use-by-Exception for this use to be re-established at this
location.
'There are several automotive related uses along the COAB side of the Atlantic Boulevard corridor,
including Jiffy Lube, a retail auto parts store and a car wash. There are, however, no used or new car
sales businesses along this area of Atlantic Boulevard. Staff cannot find that the requested use is
"' consistent with the development pattern along Atlantic Boulevard, which is dominated by general
retail, service and office uses. Further, the proposed location does not seem to contain adequate on-
site traffic circulation, or sufficient lot area for both customer parking and the display of vehicles.
The Community Development Board considered this request at their January meeting and
recommended approval subject to:
• A limit of eight vehicles may be displayed in front of the building.
• Minor repairs and detailing must be done in the enclosed bays or behind the building.
• A row of 4-foot high shrubs will be planted along the west side of the lot in front of the
building.
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: UBE-2007-01 recommended for approval by the Community Development
Board with above stated conditions.
ATTACHMENTS: Application and draft minutes o/f the Community Development Board meeting.

Draft Minutes of January 16, 2007, Community Development Board Meeting
b. UBE-2007-01, Auto Systems 2000 Plus, Inc.; Request for aUse-by-Exception to allow
the sale of used automobiles on a developed site within the Commercial General (CG)
Zoning District located at 1075 Atlantic Boulevard.
Jacob Perry introduced himself to the Board as an owner of Auto Systems 2000 Plus. He
described his business as selling used cars and believes this business will be an asset to the
community by selling dependable cars in the $5,000 range. His sales plan includes the use of an
additive that will make cars with 80,000 - 125,000 miles more dependable. The additive creates
a chemistry to remove oil and varnish from the engine and reduce emissions. The property at
1075 Atlantic Boulevard does have an entrance and exit. DOT has indicated the location has
enough square footage to sell used cars. His plan is to sell 12-15 cars a month, and he estimates
approximately two customers a day visiting the lot. Mr. Boyer requested the size of the property.
Mr. Andy Campbell of 1435 Scott Road, Jacksonville, Florida, came forward and estimated the
lot to be approximately 100-feet by 600-feet. Mr. Campbell stated the property owner, Edith
Kahoe, is his mother-in-law. She is 86 years old and lives with him and his wife. He presented a
letter authorizing him to speak on her behalf. The property lease to Mr. Perry will be for one
year with an option for a second year. Mr. Perry stated he wanted to work with the City and will
do whatever the City requests. Mr. Bob Parker of 9143 Marley Road, Jacksonville, Florida,
came forward to speak as Mr. Perry's partner in the business. He clarified that many of the cars
will be removed from the lot within seven days because they are planning to sell many of them
on e-bay. They are going to offer a better product to the public than currently available now, so
cars will not be coming back to their lot. Chairman Jacobson inquired if they are going to be
doing repairs on the property. Mr. Perry responded that easy jobs like AC Repairs or headliners
will be done there in the back, but heavy auto repairs will be sent to Bridges Automotive. Ms.
Woods requested the plans for the existing building. Mr. Perry would like to apply a stucco
finish to the front of the building and paint it similar to the present colors. Due to a one-year
lease he does not want to invest a lot of money into the property but does plan to clean it up and
beautify the area. Chairman Jacobson asked if there were any plans to sell the building.
Chairman Jacobson stated that he believed a used car lot on Atlantic Boulevard was contrary to
what the City was trying to accomplish. Ms. Woods requested that landscaping be a condition to
approval of the Use-by-Exception. Mr. Burkhart commented that the Board cannot require that
the Landscaping Code to be met since a building permit is not going to be applied for. Staff
noted that there is no additional construction proposed and this site is already almost a totally
impervious site with little area that could be used for any type of landscaping. Discussion
followed regarding the small grassed area along the front west side of the lot. The Applicant
offred to provide a row of shrubs in this area.
~. A motion was made by Mr. Burkhart and seconded by Ms. Woods to recommend approval
for aUse-by-Exception to allow for the sale of used automobiles with the following
conditions:
~"'' • No more than 8 cars may be located in the front of the property at one time.
• Minor repairs and detailing must be done in the bays or behind the building.
An amendment was added to the motion requiring a 4-foot high shrub row on the West
"' side of the fence. Mr. Boyer seconded the amended motion and it passed unanimously. Ms.
Doerr reminded the Applicant that this is a recommendation only; final action is taken by the
City Commission.
