#6A-Gate Review-3rd submittal Date: 02/09/16 Permit: 15-CVPR-2411 Applicant: Gate Petroleum Review: 3rd Address: PO Box 23627 Site Address: 535 Atlantic Boulevard Phone: (904) 448-3027 Email: bhamilton@gatepetro.com Approved (with informational comments) 1. (Informational) As the result of public comment from some nearby residents and an existing tenant on site (Beaches Diner), the City has contracted with “Community Redevelopment and Planning Consultants” (Steven Lindorff) to conduct an independent review of this proposed project. Mr. Lindorff served as Director of Planning and Development for Jacksonville Beach for 30 years. Mr. Lindorff’s report outlines why the proposed use is permissible in the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District. 2. (Informational) Section 3-2 (b) states, “the licensed premises where any alcoholic beverages are kept, except for restaurants, grocery stores and markets where the primary business is the sale or serving of food, shall be closed for business between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM all days of the week. No person shall be permitted on the premises of such business during such hours except to clean the premises, to perform necessary functions for closing the establishment, or to perform necessary maintenance.” At this time, the City has not made a determination on Section 3-2 (b) regarding the hours of operation of the proposed use. A determination will be made when the applicant seeks the City’s signature on its state alcohol license. Be aware that the city may require the proposed use to close between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM. 3. (Informational) Per 24-67 (d), when preliminary site development plans are signed off on by all departments, the applicant may submit an application for a development permit for vertical construction. 4. (Informational) Be aware that the city will ensure that construction complies with Section 24-171 (c)(3) which states “The exterior finish of new buildings shall be of brick, wood, stucco, decorative masonry, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), architectural or split faced type block or other finish materials with similar appearance or texture. Metal clad, corrugated metal, plywood, or oriented strand board (OSB), and exposed plain concrete shall not be permitted as exterior finish materials on the front or any street side building.” ZONING REVIEW COMMENTS City of Atlantic Beach Building and Zoning Department 800 Seminole Road Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233-5445 Phone: (904) 247-5817 Fax: (904) 247-5845 Email: jhubsch@coab.us 5. (Informational) Additionally, Section 24-171 (c) (1) states, “roofs, which give the appearance of a flat roof from any street side of the building are prohibited. Roofs may be gabled, hipped, mansard, or otherwise designed so as to avoid the appearance of a flat roof from the adjoining street.” 6. (Informational) Mr. Lindorff’s report provides reasoning for why the City is not able to require on-site parking beyond the minimum standards established in Section 24-161. Gate, as property owner has submitted plans which state the existing restaurant on site has 76 spaces. As such, the City can only require 19 spaces for the restaurant use (1 space per 4 seats) and 16 spaces for the “retail sales” structure (1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area). The proposed plan shows 26 spaces for the retail sales building and 19 spaces for the restaurant, as well as an additional 11 spaces in the city right-of-way. Sheet C2.0-Existing Conditions/Demolition Plan has a note which states, “Contractor shall sequence onsite and offsite work such that it does not disrupt existing diver [sic] and parking”. The Beach Diner shall have access to the required 19 on-site parking spaces, its loading zone, and full use of its facilities before, during, and after construction. If there is an interruption to the Beach Diner, a stop work order may be issued. 7. (Informational) The site plan shows a four foot fence around the retention area. Be aware that 24-171 (f) prohibits “chain link, barbed wire, razor or concertina wire, and like fencing.” 8. (Informational) A separate sign permit shall be submitted for the construction of new signage. 9. (Informational) Prior to any tree removal on site, please submit a tree removal permit. The tree plantings shown in the submitted landscape plan are able to be used as mitigation (if necessary). Jeremy Hubsch Building and Zoning Director jhubsch@coab.us (904) 247-5817
