Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes March 29, 1989 Page 2 Part of Lot 8, Blk. A, Mitchell SUrvey of Levy Grant, Plat Book 1, Page 5, 1.36 Acres Inunediately South of Intersection of SR 434 and Tuscawilla Road- Reclassify Land Use to Liqht Industrial (Zone C-2): Koch gave her presentation. She stated that this property is a 1.36 acre parcel immediately to the south of the intersection of SR 434 and Tuscawilla Road. The request is to change the land use to Light Industrial and the zoning to C-2. It is ru:M zoned C-1. The applicant is interested in developing the property with a gas station, small shop and car wash. In our Code, C-1 zoning provides for a full-service gas station with mechanical repair, which this is not. A convenience store with gas p\.'ll1q;>s is allowed in C-2 zoning. Koch expressed concern that if the property were rezoned to C-2 it would be possible then to develop it with other C-2 uses that would not be desirable in this vicinity even though this particular proposed use may be. She stated that there are two alternatives rather than rezoning to C-2; these are: 1} amend the C-1 zoning to allew this type of operation; 2) make a determination that this type of operation is not a convenience store and therefore prescribed in neither C-1 nor C-2; therefore, the applicant can ask for a Special Exception within C-1 zoning. Then the land use can remain unchanged - the less intense commercial classification. Koch stated that the applicant is present for any questions. Frank Schrimsher, owner of the property, spoke for the request. Saporito asked if anyone was present to speak for or against the request. There was no one present to speak for or against this request. Saporito closed the public hearing and reopened the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Hopkins stated that in the list for allcwable uses under C-1 zoning, number 19 is a car wash, number 31 is a full service gas station requiring mechanical repair, and number 33 is grocers/retail. He stated that everything that the applicant wants is under C-l zoning except their combination with a snack shop. He stated that he feels the best thing to do is to make a special exception or to include this type of facility in the C-1 zoning allowable uses. McLeod asked about the depth of the property. Schrimsher stated that the depth on Tuscawilla Road side is 346.49 ft. McLeod stated that he wasn't sure if this site was big enough for this. Schrimsher stated that the site met the minimum site standards of the oil company. KOch stated if this is approved, it will come up before Site Plan Review and would have to meet all criteria before any developnent could start. . . . . . " Plarming and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes March 29, 1989 Page 3 Sapori to stated that the issue before the Board is whether or not the Board reconunends the zoning be changed. The problem is there is no classification for this type of use. We have several choices; 1) reconunend that the code one way or another be amended to provide for a classification, 2) change the zoning classification, 3) made a determination that it does not fall in either C-1 or C-2 zoning and the applicant can make an application for a Special Exception to allCM this under the present zoning, and 4) make a recolIUllSndation to the Canmission that the Commission reconsider to add this specific use under C-1 zoning. Torcaso moved to reconunend denial of the request by the applicant for a change of zoning and a finding be made that the use does not fall within either C-1 or C-2 and the applicant is eligible for an application for a Special Exception. Seconded by Hopkins. Discussion on the motion. Paul Earshot, representative for Mobil Oil, spoke on the request. He stated that the major function for this project is gas. The snack shop is more of impulse i terns such as cigarettes, candy, soft drinks, potato chips. The size of the snack shop is approximately 985 s. ft., with an office, rest room, small storage area, and a security desk, which leaves approximately about 500 s. ft. for display of these i terns for sale. He stated that everything is under a roof, even the gas pumps, the car wash is built off to the side and not attached. Vote on the motion: All aye. Motion carried. Saporito asked if there was any other business to cane before the Board. Hopkins asked that it be put on the agenda for the next meeting to recolIUllSnd changing the C-1 zoning to allow a gas station/car wash/snack shop. Saporito asked if Staff could assist the Board with information as to a name to classify for this type of business. The Board was in agreement. The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 P.M.
