REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests the Planning and Zoning Board consider the Hayes Road Plaza preliminary engineering/site plan, located on the south side of SR 434, at the SW comer of the intersection of SR 434 and Hayes Road. PURPOSE: To review the preliminary engineering/site plan and make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding the 17,128 square foot (S.F.) shopping center, including a 2,840 restaurant, on what is presently a 1.99 acre site abutting Hacienda Village. The site is subject to the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District regulations (sections 20-480 through 20-490). The overlay zoning district design standards will govern development within the corridor and will control where conflicts between regulations occur (Section 20-462). APPLICABLE LAW: Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5 (Code), Tree Protection and Preservation. Chapter 9 (Code). Land Development. Chapter 20 (Code). Zoning. CONSIDERA TIONS: OVERVIEW: The 1.99 acre site is located on the SW comer of the intersection ofSR 434 and Hayes Road. It has a Commercial Future Land Use designation, C-l zoning, and lies within the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District. To the south is Hacienda Village and to the west is the Cumberland Farms convenience store/gas station. The site was once approved for a gas station, although the site plan approval expired after work at the site ceased. Later efforts to develop the site as a gas station and convenience store were unsuccessful. The fuel tanks are still be buried there. The City amended its code (Section 20-418; Ord. No. 2001-13, January 3, 2007 Regular Item 301 Page 2 of3 07-23-01) to prohibit locating gas stations within 350 feet of another gas station, a residentially zone lot, school, or playground. ACCESS & TRAFFIC: The site plan depicts direct access to and from both SR 434 (east-bound) and Hayes Road as well as a cross-access easement to the existing Cumberland Farms site (cross-access is required by the Comprehensive Plan). Both direct access points are located about as far away from the intersection of SR 434 and Hayes Road as is possible, for traffic safety and efficiency reasons. The site plan depicts an east-bound right turn lane dedication along SR 434 - onto south-bound Hayes Road _ that the City has requested from the applicant. The City, through a contractor, would construct the new turn lane. This would also entail relocating the existing signal and its equipment, the sidewalk, and 2 storm inlets. A traffic study was provided for the development, stating that 20,000 SF of retail will generate an estimated 2,386 trips per day. A trip or trip end is a single or one-direction vehicle movement with either the origin or the destination (exiting or entering) inside a study site. For trip generation purposes, the total trip ends for a land use over a given period of time are the total of all trips entering plus all trips exiting a site during a designated time period. Of this total number of trips, 59 will occur in the A.M. peak hour and 217 will occur during the P.M. peak hour. Some trips are captured from the existing background traffic volume on the adjacent roadways, while other trips are newly generated in response to the development. The traffic study estimates, based upon standards of the Institute for Traffic Engineers (ITE), that the site will generate 1,575 new trips and that there will be 39 new A.M. peak hour trips and 143 new P. M. peak hour trips. The adjacent segments of both SR 434 and Hayes Road operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS), as defined in Policy 1.1.1 of the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The traffic study determined that auxiliary turn lanes into the curb-cuts onto SR 434 and Hayes Road were not recommended, based on the FDOT guidelines set forth in the March 2005 Florida DOT Driveway Handbook. The site plan depicts the east bound right-hand turn lane onto Hayes Road, consistent with the City's plans for that facility improvement. Site plan approval should be contingent upon provision of this land for the turn lane, but not upon its construction (because the City will do the construction). 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 20-489. All on-site utilities must be installed underground, pursuant to Section 20-487. Potable water and sanitary sewer are proposed to connect to existing lines on Hayes Road and Pearl Road (respectively). The existing (but never fueled) fuel tanks are proposed to be filled with suitable material and left in the ground. Two (2) dumpster pad enclosures are proposed near of the west end the rear of the project. Dumpster pad enclosures must be constructed consistent with the requirements of sections 9-280 and 9-281. This includes, but is not limited to, provision of wash-down facilities for dumpsters that accommodate restaurants. 2 January 3,2007 Regular Item 301 Page 3 of3 FINDINGS: 1.
