Exh 8CAGENDA ITEM #8C NOVEMBER 26, 2001 CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Approval of an Occupational License fee for a proposed car wash SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP, Community Development Director DATE: November 15, 2001 BACKGROUND: The City is currently reviewing final Construction and Engineering Plans for a proposed car wash to be located at 835 Atlantic Boulevard (the former Dairy Queen location). The property is zoned Commercial General (CG), and the Comprehensive Plan land use designation is Commercial General; therefore, the proposed. use is a Permitted Use by the CG zoning regulations and the Comprehensive Plan designation. Section 20-59 of the City Code, Occupational License Tax; Schedule of Fees, requires Commission approval of the fees for an Occupational License for a car wash. (Page 1171 of attached Section 20-59.) Staff is inforrned that this requirement was enacted during a 1985 amendment to the City Code, and is believed to have been in response to a'1984 State imposed moratorium on sewer hook-ups. While the moratorium is no longer in place, and the conditions that resulted in this requirement do not seem to be applicable at the current time, this requirement for the Commission to approve Occupational License fees for car washes is still effective. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Motion to approve license fee in accordance. with Section 20-59. of the Code of Ordinances for an Occupational Licenses for a caz wash to be located 835 Atlantic Boulevard, and 2) consider amending Section 20-59; Schedule of Fees to remove requirement for Commission to approve Occupational License fee for car wash use.
