Re: 801 Atlantic Boulevard, Texaco Station
Dear Shannon:
The Texaco station, located at 801 Atlantic Boulevard, is located withi n the
Commercial General (CG) Zoning District and is within the Commercial land use
category, as designated by the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The facility is considered to
be an Automotive Service Station with Minor Automotive Repair, which is a by-right
permitted use within the CG Districts. I have enclosed a copy of the applicable
definitions and provisions from the City’s Land Development Regulations. Please note
that changes to the City’s regulations, made in December of last year, define
automotive repair facilities with more than two work bays as Heavy Automotive Repair,
which requires approval of a Use -by-Exception in the CG District. In that the existing
auto repair business, which has three work bays, existed prior to that revision to the
defini tion, the City recognizes the existing auto repair as a vested use of the property.
Any expansion of the automotive repair business, however, would require approval of a
Use-by-Exception. Please feel free to contact me at 247 -5817 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Sonya Doerr, AICP
Community Development Director
