BACKGROUND: The applicant is Ryan Hawkins, a partner in Brightway Autos, a proposed tenant of 580 Mayport Road, which is owned by Atillio Cerqueira. The applicant is requesting to operate
a used car lot on the eastern portion of the property along Mayport Road within the Commercial General (CG) zoning district. The applicant has an existing used car lot across West 6th
Street at 660 Mayport Road. The proposed site directly across West 6th Street would provide additional space for inventory. Offices would remain at 660 Mayport Road. In total, 10 to
11 cars could be located on the proposed site without blocking cars in. A use-by-exception is required by Section 24-111(c)(10) for the sale of automobiles at this location. The proposed
site is an existing paved property at the corner of Mayport Road and West 6th Street.
This item was heard by the Community Development Board on March 21, 2017. The board voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the use-by-exception with the following conditions; 1.) That there
be no more than 10 vehicles parked on the designated portion of 580 Mayport Road, and 2.) That permanent landscaping be permitted, installed and inspected consistent with Section 24-177(d)
along Mayport Road prior to the commencement of use.
The City Commission discussed this item at the March 27, 2017 regular Commission meeting where staff presented a third possible condition; 3.) That the automotive sales use be limited
to the area of 580 Mayport Road within 45 feet of Mayport Road.
BUDGET: None.
