ITEM 300
MGR. /Dept.
REQUEST:
The Community Development Department requests the Planning and Zoning Board consider the
final engineering/site plan for the AMSouth Bank, located on a commercial out-parcel of the
Parkstone Planned Unit Development (PUD), at the north east comer of SR 434 and Parkstone
Boulevard.
PURPOSE:
To review the Final Engineering/Site Plan and make a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding the development of the 1.7 acre commercial site as a 3,820 SF bank building with 5
drive-thru aisles.
APPLICABLE LAW:
Comprehensive Plan
Chapter 5 (Code), Tree Protection and Preservation.
Chapter 9 (Code). Land Development.
Chapter 20 (Code). Zoning.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
OVERVIEW: The site has a Commercial future land use designagion (FLU), is located within
the Parkstone PUD (has pUD zoning), and is also located within and subject to the regulations of
the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District (sections 20-463 through 20-474). A
drive-thru bank is an allowable use on this site. The site was planned as a commercial out-
parcel, with direct vehicular access to and from both SR 434 and Parkstone Boulevard.
PARKING: The site is planned with 28 standard 10' x 20' parking spaces and 2 HC accessible
spaces, in lieu of the 13 overall (1 He) required.
LANDSCAPING: The Final Engineering/Site Plan contains a landscape plan that, in
conjunction with the existing 6' tall brick wall, will buffer the commercial activities from the
adjacent residences with shrubs and canopy trees. The residences adjacent to the east side of the

site are particularly buffered by multiple rows of canopy trees. Root barriers are proposed
adjacent to walls and pavement to prevent damage to the structures.
ACCESS & TRAFFIC: The site is proposed with vehicular access to and from both SR 434 and
Parkstone Boulevard. The PUD master plan depicts both access points and the FDOT finds this
acceptable. Both the applicant and (at least some of) the adjacent residents support having SR
434 ingress and egress. In light of the City Commission's decision to eliminate the non-
emergency ingress and egress across the Cross Seminole Trail at the southwest comer of the
nearby Landings at Parkstone (town-home development at the northwest comer of the SR 434
and Parkstone Boulevard), City staff has recommends that the non-emergency SR 434
ingress/egress be eliminated to minimize potential conflicts between automobiles and trail traffic.
The applicant has submitted a traffic study that has been determined acceptable by the City
Engineer. No additional off-site or on-site improvements are deemed necessary.
UTILITIES: Dumpsters, transformers, backflow preventers, HV AC equipment, and other
utility items, as well as storage facilities must be adequately screened from public ROWs,
pursuant to Section 20-473. Provision of any utility features not depicted on these plans must be
adequately screened before a certificate of occupancy will be issued. Down-spouts must not
drain onto a sidewalk. All on-site utilities must be installed underground, pursuant to Section 20-
471.
Storm-water management for the site was master planned off-site as part of the overall PUD
plan. Therefore, no on-site storm-water pond is required.
FINDINGS:
1. The AMSouth Bank site is located at the northeast comer of the intersection ofSR 434
and Parkstone Boulevard, within both the Commercial portion of the Parkstone PUD and within
the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District.
2. The site has a Commercial future land use designation.
3. The AMSouth final engineering/site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend approval of the AMSouth
Bank final engineering/site plan, subject to eliminating the curb-cut onto SR 434.
