2321 Mayport Road Zoning Review Comments
1. Parking: Your current site plan shows that you are over parked by a significant amount. Section 24-
161(h)(3) requires 1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area. Your plans show a building with
9,973 square feet. That would result in 25 parking spaces. Section 24-161(a) allows you to exceed
parking requirements by 10 parking spaces.Your total allowed parking spaces is 35.
2. Commercial Corridor Standards: Your property is within 100 feet of Mayport Road and therefore
must meet the Commercial Corridor Standards found in Section 24-171. Included in this section are
additional requirements for building design and finish,fences and landscaping.
3. Landscape Plan: The landscape requirements of the Commercial Corridor Section are in addition to
those found in Section 24-177. A landscape plan must be submitted showing all applicable buffers
and all vegetation to be planted.
4. Tree Removal Permit: If any trees are going to be removed from the site then a Tree Removal Permit
is required.
5. Signage: All signage is regulated by Chapter 17. 1 will note that free standing signs must be
monument signs no more than 8 feet tall.
6. Dumpster Screening: Section 24-160 requires that dumpsters be screened from view. I see a note
indicating that they will be but we will need specifics as to how. If you plan to use a fence or wall,the
maximum height is 6 feet.
Optional Adjustments
With the reduction in parking necessary and the amount of landscaping required in the front of the
property, it may be beneficial for you to take advantage of the allowable 10 foot front setback. Within
the Commercial General zoning district, a 10 foot front yard setback is allowable if parking is located in
the side or rear yard and the building entrance faces the street.
