ITEM 301
MGR. ,J /Dept.
REQUEST:
The Community Development Department requests the Planning and Zoning Board consider the final
engineering/site plan for the Seminole Trail Animal Hospital, located on the west side of SR Vistawilla
Drive, as the southern out-parcel in the existing shopping center.
PURPOSE:
To review the final engineering/site plan and make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding
the 3,752 S.F. veterinary clinic/office on a 1.674 acre parcel within the existing shopping center in the
Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development (PUD). This is the first phase, which will stand on its own -
phase IT will include the second building and additional associated parking and will be approved,
permitted, and constructed separately. The applicant proposes to eventually split the lot. The site is
subject to the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District regulations (sections 20-463 through
20-474), an existing development agreement, and a settlement agreement.
APPLICABLE LAW:
Chapter 166, Florida Statutes.

Settlement Agreement
Development Agreement
Chapter 5 (Code), Tree Protection and Preservation.
Chapter 9 (Code). Land Development.
Chapter 20 (Code). Zoning.
CONSIDERATIONS:
OVERVIEW: The 1.674 acre site (0.763 acre in Phase I; is located on the south end of the existing
shopping center at the Tuscawilla PUD. This parcel is designated for office uses - the City Commission
has determined that a veterinary clinic/office is an office use and that it is an acceptable use at this

location. It has a Commercial Future Land Use designation. The site contains very few trees, no
wetlands, and no listed plant or animal species.
ACCESS & TRAFFIC: The vet clinic will not generate enough traffic to require a traffic analysis.
A driveway curb-cut is proposed onto the west side of Vista willa Drive, about 220 feet south of the
existing curb-cut on the south side (at the rear) of the main portion of the shopping center. Twenty-four
parking spaces (including 1 handicap accessible space) are provided along with a loading/unloading
zone for delivery trucks and a bike rack. Dr. Williams, the applicant, already has a practice in the
shopping center. Speculation that equestrians using the trail would come to the clinic were dispelled -
the doctor's practice does not include horses.
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.
All on-site utilities must be installed underground, pursuant to Section 20-471. Potable water and
sanitary sewer are available to the site (connection to potable water from the north and connection to
sanitary sewer from the southwest). The building will be sprinkled. Stormwater management is
provided via the existing facility located to the north and west of the site (which was engineered to
accommodate the entire shopping center, including the 2 out-parcels).
SIGNAGE: One monument sign is designated in the existing development agreement for the site -
located at the northeast corner of the site. If an additional monument sign is desired when the new lot is
created on the south end of the site, the development agreement will likely need to be amended.
FINDINGS:
1. The Seminole Trail Animal Hospital site is located south of SR 434, on the west side of Vista willa
Drive, within an existing shopping center located in both the Commercial portion of the Tuscawilla PUD
and within the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District.
2. The Seminole Trail Animal Hospital final engineering/site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and City Code.
3. Approvals, permitting, and construction of Phase II, a lost split, or second monument sign require
additional submittals and action.
