AGENDA ITEM# SA
JUNE 9, 2014
The applicants are required to obtain a Use-By-Exception per
Section 24-112 (c)(5), which requires one for, "establishments for
heavy automotive repair, towing service or the permanent storage
of automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, and tractors, machinery and
equipment and similar uses."
The applicants stated in the application package the activities on
site include those of a service/transportation company serving
Jacksonville and the Beaches. Their primary business hours of
operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
However, they state that they are a 24/7 operation with minimal
staff on duty after 5:00 PM that includes dispatch and call center
support. The application states that "drivers will come to base
occasionally in the evenings to change vehicles". The fleet consists
of 65 vehicles. The cab drivers are independent contractors. The
maintenance shop is a full service shop that operates between
8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. They state that they will not service
vehicles on weekends or in the evenings.
Jeremy Hubsch presented and aerial view of the subject site and
surrounding properties. Sec. 24-112 of the Land Development
Regulations state the intent of the light industrial and warehousing
zoning district is intended for light manufacturing, stoage and
warehousing, processing or fabrication of nonobjectionable
products, not involving the use of materials, processes or
machinery likely to cause undesirable effects upon nearby or
adjacent residential or commercial activities. Policy A.1.5.6 of the
Comprehensive Plan states that Commercial and light industrial
development shall be located and designed so as to minimize
adverse effects on residential areas, traffic facilities, and the
aesthetic character of the City.
Jeremy discussed three suggested actions to recommend approval
and three suggested actions to recommend denial. Staff suggests
that a condition of a cap be set on the amount of cars that can be
kept on site as storage. This will ensure that the property does not
turn into a junk yard or scrap yard.
Brea Paul asked if this application is a result of a Business License
renewal and Jeremy stated that the business had already opened
prior to obtaining their license and then were notified of the need
for the Use-by-Exception. We are working on finding a way to stop
these business from opening without a Business Tax Receipt.

Board
Discussion
Motion
Rob Glazier, the general manager of Coastal Cab introduced
himself and discussed the fact that if there are more that 15 cars
on his property then he is losing money. He states that other than
employees cars there shouldn't ever be more than 25 cars on the
property.
None.
l<irk Hanson stated that he doesn't feel a cap is needed,
considering the neighboring lots are full of vehicles. Sylvia does
not agree and wants cap placed on the number of vehicles left on
the lot. Jeremy stated that there is something in the code that says
the nonconforming use of neighboring land structures or buildings
in the same zoning district cannot be considered for justification of
approval for the Use-by-Exception. Mr. Hanson asked the applicant
how many vehicles does he need to have allowed on the lot at one
time. Mr. Glazier said aside from his 10 employees cars, he would
like to have 25 cabs allowed at one time.
