Home My WebLink About2005 03 28 Regular 507 Final Engineering/Site Plan for Conversion of Existing Residence to an Office CITY COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 507 Consent Informational Public Hearing Re2ular X March 28. 2005 Meeting MGR r- /Dept. #i- REQUEST: Community Development Department requesting the City Commission consider and approve a final engineering/site plan for the conversion of an existing 1,100 square foot residence on 0.17 acre site to an office, subject to certain SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District waivers. PURPOSE: The purpose ofthis Agenda Item is to request that the City Commission approve a final engineering/site plan for this 0.17-acre site, subject to certain code waivers. Due to the size, location, and proposed use ofthe site, staff concurs with the applicant, except on their request not to provide a bike rack. Staff agrees that commercial grade on-site lighting should not be required on this site and agrees with the Board of Adjustment that residential scale lighting along the east side of the building would be appropriate. The site has a Commercial Future Land Use designation and is within the C-1 Commercial zoning district as well as the SR 434 Redevelopment Overlay Zoning District. APPLICABLE LAW: Chapter 5, City Code. Chapter 9, City Code. Chapter 16, City Code. Chapter 20, City Code. CONSIDERATIONS: The 0.17 acre site and existing residential structure were part of the North Orlando 4th Edition residential subdivision. The lots immediately adjacent to SR 434 were eventually provided a commercial future land use designation and C-l zoning. Some of the lots that retained their residential zoning were rezoned within the last two years; some of the units along SR 434 have been converted to non-residential uses and others remain residential. To accommodate the transition to office from residential, the site must go through a site plan, to bring the site up to code for the new non-residential use. Parking, pedestrian and handicap access, signage, and landscaping and screening are major site plan issues in any site conversion. Staff and the Planning and Zoning Board believe these have been adequately addressed through the March 28,2005 Regular Item 507 Page 2 of3 proposed site plan. Three parking spaces are required and provided, to meet the one space per 400 square feet offloor space. An office ofthis size does not generate enough traffic to require a traffic study. Storm-water runoff is not being increased enough to require a drainage facility and there is no known existing drainage problem at the site. Staff believes that to provide additional landscape material to this site (beyond what is depicted on the plan) would be counter-productive. The applicants request waivers of certain code sections that they believe do not make sense for this site. Section 20-482 parking setback from the right-of-way(ROW); landscaping; and screening; Site dimensional constraints do not allow for parking to be set back 10' from the Charles Street ROW or screened from SR 434 and Charles Street; it is not practical to provide the additional landscaping (around the building and along the proposed wall in the rear; beyond what is depicted on the plans) required by the code. Section 20-483 exterior lighting; The Code requires site illumination, although there seems little need for such for a small office which is unlikely to be operating after dark and there is an existing street light at the intersection of Charles Street and SR 434. Staff agrees with the BOA that a residential scale light that does not spill off-site would be appropriate on the east side of the building (and would add very little expense). Section 20-485 wall along the west side of the site; The Code requires a 6' tall masonry wall for any commercial use adjacent to any single family zoning or use. The wall must be of brick, decorative or split face concrete block. The wall is proposed along the rear (north) boundary, but is proposed for a waiver along the western boundary, which has C-l zoning and may also convert to a non-residential use. Section 20-488 Cross-access easement to property to the west; and The Code requires cross-access easements, where feasible, but staff does not believe a cross-access easement to the property to the west is feasible or makes sense for individual redevelopment of these tiny lots - this waiver request was included in the event of any disagreement over "feasibility. " Section 20-489 bicycle parking. The Code requires bicycle parking and both the BOA and staff recommend that a bike rack be required/provided. This is not an expensive item and it would not require much space. As the City matures, alternative (alternatives to automobiles) transportation modes are likely to become more prominent. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD ACTION: At its regularly scheduled meeting of March 1, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended the site plan be approved, subject to the staff recommendation regarding the waivers. The Board did not consider the residential scale lighting alternative (a BOA initiative/suggestion). 2 March 28, 2005 Regular Item 507 Page 3 of3 RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Adjustment and staff recommend the City Commission approve the attached final engineering/site development plan subject to City Commission granting the waivers listed above - with the exception of the bicycle parking waiver request. Staff supports the BOA recommendation for residential scale lighting on the east side of the building, near the parking area.
