535 Atlantic Boulevard 15-CVPR-2411 Zoning Review 01.29.2016 Date: 01/29/16 Permit: 15-CVPR-2411 Applicant: Gate Petroleum Review: 2nd Address: PO Box 23627 Site Address: 535 Atlantic Boulevard Phone: (904) 448-3027 Email: bhamilton@gatepetro.com Correction Comments 1. The submitted plans state this is an “Automotive Service Station with Minor Automotive Service”. Please provide staff with further information about what is considered minor automotive service. As the result of public comment from some nearby residents and an existing tenant on site (Beaches Diner), the City has contracted with “Community Redevelopment and Planning Consultants” (Steven Lindorff) to conduct an independent review of this proposed project. Mr. Lindorff served as Director of Planning and Development for Jacksonville Beach for 30 years. Mr. Lindorff’s report outlines why the proposed use is permissible in the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District. 2. Section 24-111 (a) states, “new development and new uses within these districts should have direct access to arterial or collector streets, and sites should be designed so that increased traffic through adjacent residential neighborhoods is avoided.” Please describe how the site has been designed to avoid increased traffic through adjacent residential neighborhoods. Additionally, please provide the city with information about how deliveries will be made to the site. Addressed in response to comments 3. Section 3-2 (b) states, “the licensed premises where any alcoholic beverages are kept, except for restaurants, grocery stores and markets where the primary business is the sale or serving of food, shall be closed for business between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM all days of the week. No person shall be permitted on the premises of such business during such hours except to clean the premises, to perform necessary functions for closing the establishment, or to perform necessary maintenance.” (2nd submittal comments) At this time, the City has not made a determination on Section 3-2 (b) regarding the hours of operation of the proposed use. A determination will be made when the applicant seeks the City’s signature on its state alcohol license. Be aware that the city may require the proposed use to close between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM. 4. Section 24-165 (d) states, “all lights and lighting on a service station shall be designed and arranged so that no source if light shall be directly visible from any residential zoning district.” Additionally, Section ZONING REVIEW COMMENTS City of Atlantic Beach Building and Zoning Department 800 Seminole Road Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233-5445 Phone: (904) 247-5817 Fax: (904) 247-5845 Email: jhubsch@coab.us 24-171 (e) states, “direct lighting sources shall be shielded or recessed so that excessive light does not illuminate adjacent properties or the sky”. The submitted photometric plan shows that minimal lighting will leave the site. However, please describe or demonstrate how exterior lights will be shielded or recessed. Noted in response to comments 5. Section 24-171 (g) (2) requires a six foot wide area between the building and sidewalks. This area is visible in the plans, but the landscape plan does not show any landscaping. Please revise plans to meet this provision. Plans have been revised 6. Section 24-177 (d) (1) (b), “All vehicle use areas (VUA) that are not entirely screened by an intervening building from any abutting dedicated public street shall contain the following, a durable opaque landscape screen along at least 75% of the street frontage, excluding driveways. The submitted landscape plans do not appear to provide a sufficient landscape screen along the street frontage. Please revise accordingly. Plans have been revised 7. Section 24-177 (d) (4) states, “the maximum width of any driveway not containing a landscape island through the perimeter landscape area shall be 36 feet. The driveway shown on plans exceeds 36 feet. Please revise plans accordingly. Plans have been revised 8. Section 23-33 (f) (1) (a) requires new oaks to have a minimum 4 inch caliper and 12 foot height at the time of installation. Please revise landscape plans accordingly. Plans have been revised 9. (Informational) Per 24-67 (d), when preliminary site development plans are signed off on by all departments, the applicant may submit an application for a development permit for vertical construction. 10. (Informational) Be aware that the city will ensure that construction complies with Section 24-171 (c)(3) which states “The exterior finish of new buildings shall be of brick, wood, stucco, decorative masonry, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), architectural or split faced type block or other finish materials with similar appearance or texture. Metal clad, corrugated metal, plywood, or oriented strand board (OSB), and exposed plain concrete shall not be permitted as exterior finish materials on the front or any street side building.” 11. (Informational) Additionally, Section 24-171 (c) (1) states, “roofs, which give the appearance of a flat roof from any street side of the building are prohibited. Roofs may be gabled, hipped, mansard, or otherwise designed so as to avoid the appearance of a flat roof from the adjoining street.” 12. Mr. Lindorff’s report provides reasoning for why the City is not able to require on-site parking beyond the minimum standards established in Section 24-161. As such, the City can only require 19 spaces for the restaurant use (1 space per 4 seats) and 16 spaces for the “retail sales” structure (1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area). The proposed plan shows 26 spaces for the retail sales building and 18 spaces for the restaurant. Please revise plans to provide 1 additional space for the Beach Diner use. 13. (Informational) Prior to any tree removal on site, please submit a tree removal permit. The tree plantings shown in the submitted landscape plan are able to be used as mitigation (if necessary).
