UBE-2004-02, Eduardo Medina
To: Community Development Board
From: Community Development Department
City of Atlantic Beach
Date: December 9, 2004
Subject: UBE-2004-02
Applicant: Eduardo A. Medina
272 Beech Brook Street
Jacksonville, Florida 32259
Request: Use-by-Exception to allow for the sale of used automobiles and also automotive repair services for property within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District.
Location: 1800 Mayport Road
Existing Zoning: CG (Commercial General)
Future Land Use: CG (Commercial General)
Surrounding Land Use: Various commercial uses with residential uses to the west.
STAFF COMMENTS
This Use-by-Exception is requested to allow for the sale of used automobiles and also automitve repair services. 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, Texaco, a retail auto parts store, a car wash, and some authorized
uses within the Atlantic Self Storage facility and the Ashland property that are operated within the enclosed buildings. There are, however, no used or new car or boat sales businesses
along 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 boats
and vehicles.
SUGGESTED ACTION TO RECOMMEND DENIAL
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to recommend denial to the City Commission of a requested Use-by-Exception to allow for the sale of new and used automobiles and
boats and also automobile leasing for property within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District and located at 1075 Atlantic Boulevard, provided:
(Provide findings of fact similar to the following.)
Approval of this Use-by-Exception is not in compliance with the requirements of Section 24-63, Zoning, Subdivision and Land Development Regulations.
The requested use is not consistent and compatible with other surrounding uses along the City of Atlantic Beach side of Atlantic Boulevard.
The proposed use is not consistent with Section 24-171 (a) of the Land Development Regulations, which establishes the intent of the Commercial Corridor Standards.
