Smith, City Manager Ronda East Coast Ramay wntmaa Eao f 1 4- t, r I( , MEMORANDUM TO: Michael W. Smith, City Manager FROM: Terry L. Virta, AICP Growth Management Director RE: VA-66-99 Parking Variance for FEC Railroad SP-67-99 Site Plan for FEC Railroad Date: September21, 1999 The applicant is requesting site plan approval associated with the renovation of the existing 12,000 +/- square foot building located at the northeast corner of Stirling Road and the East Coast Rail Road. The applicant is not proposing any additional building square footage on the site. The site plan as proposed requires a parking variance to allow twenty-two (22) parking spaces where twenty-six (26) are required. The applicant is providing approximately 85% of the required parking on site. Based on the square footage of the building, one (1) loading zone is required, however, the applicant has provided five (5) loading spaces adjacent to the dock in the rear of the building. In addition, the applicant has provided two (2) truck pick-up spaces on the site. The parking area on the site has been redesigned to maximize the available parking facilities and provide sufficient loading spaces for the proposed use. The rectangular shape of the property and the existing improvements on the site create constraints that prevent full compliance with the Code. Therefore, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the criteria for a variance. This is the minimum variance required for the proposed use. The site has lost its non-conforming status by nature of not being used for over a year. Therefore, any redevelopment of this site requires that it be fully brought up to current standards. Full compliance with the City Code could create a financial burden for the property and could preclude redevelopment of the site. The applicant is proposing to make improvements that will substantially upgrade the site. It has been the policy of the City to consider existing development constraints on properties that are being redeveloped. Staff Recommends: approval of the subject site plan, and the parking variance subject to the following conditions: 1. Inclusion of a dumpster detail on the site plan. 2. Demonstration of compliance with Section 2644 (C), native plant requirements. 3. Submission of a site lighting plan prior to building permit. 4. Demonstration of compliance with Section 26-53(C), tree size requirements. The Planning and Zoning Board concurs in this recommendation that the City Commission approve this site plan subject to the above conditions. The City Commission continued this item cmmemo66d67"dm 4— i� � Y to the September 28, 1999 Meeting so that the applicants architect could be present. Recommendation remains that the City Commission approve this project.
