HARDEN, CITY MANAGER THRU: TOR FROM: A. COSTELLO ~NIDR PLANNER SUBJECT: MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 1994 FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. ~7 -94 - REZONING PROPERTY FROM NC (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) TO POD (PROFESSIONAL AND OFFICE DISTRICT) FOR PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SEACREST BOULEVARD AND N.E. 22ND STREET (ACROSS FROM ATLANTIC HIGH SCHOOL). ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION: The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading of an ordinance rezoning a 1.92 acre parcel from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to POD (Professional and Office District). The purpose of the rezoning is to reduce the size of the NC parcel from 3.92 to 2 acres to comply with maximum lot size requirements of the NC zone district. The subject property is generally located at the northwest corner of Seacrest Boulevard and N.E. 22nd Street, excluding the pizza shop, convenience store, and vacant gasoline station, which are under separate ownership. BACKGROUND: At its meeting of January 24, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with a City initiated rezoning of the subject property from NC to RM (Medium Density Residential). One of the reasons for the City initiated action was that the 3.92 acre parcel exceeds the recently adopted 2-acre maximum site size for NC parcels. Other reasons dealt with the appropriateness of a commercial development adjacent to the residential neighborhood. At the public hearing for the rezoning to RM, substantial opposition was expressed by residents of the adjacent neighborhood. The residents expressed support for development of the site for low-intensity non-residential uses, as opposed to multi-family. At that time the Board inquired as to the possibility of splitting the property into two parcels, or applying different zoning designations. The Board then withdrew the RM rezoning request. City Commission Documentation Meeting of December 6, 1994 First Reading of Ordinance No. -94 - Rezoning from NC to POD for the South 1.92 Acres of the Shops of Seacrest/Food Lion Site Page 2 The owner of the property, Nations Bank, has now petitioned to rezone the south 1.92 acres (currently vacant) from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to POD (Professional and Office District). An analysis of the request is found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report. Zoninq District Boundary Line As presented, the proposed north zoning boundary line will bisect a vacant structure. The reason for the placement of the boundary line at that location is that the bank wants to keep the NC zoning at the maximum 2-acre size. The structure is scheduled for demolition, however, the bank wants to be reasonably certain that the POD zoning will be approved prior to demolishing the building. The applicant has stated that the structure will be demolished pending the disposition of the City Commission on first reading of the rezoning to POD. In order to avoid a situation in which a zoning boundary line divides a building, second reading of this ordinance will not be scheduled until such time that the structure has been demolished. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: At its meeting of November 21, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with review of the request. The owner of the adjacent residential property (west) spoke in support of the POD zoning. There was no public testimony in opposition to the rezoning. The Board voted 6-0 (Ms. Young absent) to recommend that the request be approved. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, approve Ordinance No.~7-94 on First Reading.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD = The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a rezoning request from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to POD (Professional and Office District), pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D). The subject property is generally located at the northwest corner of Seacrest Boulevard and N.W. 22nd Street, excluding the pizza shop, convenience store, and vacant gasoline station. BACKGROUND ~ The rezoning request involves the south 1.92 acres of an overall 3.92 acre parcel. The north 2 acres of the property contains an abandoned office complex (Unemployment Compensation office) which was last occupied in 1986, and the south 1.92 acres is vacant land. The subject property has an extensive land use history. The following are the most recent land use actions to occur as they relate to the property. With the Citywide rezoning and adoption of the City's Land Development Regulations in October, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended that the property be rezoned from LC (Limited Commercial) to RM (Medium Density Residential). However, during City Commission consideration, the property owners requested and received an NC zoning designation in order to accommodate a proposed Food Lion grocery store. Concurrent with the rezoning action, the City Commission amended the NC zone district to allow a maximum single user floor area of 35,000 sq.ft. A site plan for the grocery store was submitted but not approved and the project was never built. On October 18, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed and recommended approval of changes to the NC zone district regulations. These changes included a reduction of intensity by reducing the maximum lot size from 4 acres to 2 acres, and reducing the maximum area allocated to each type of principal use from 35,000 sq.ft, to 10,000 sq.ft. The City Commission approve~these changes on December 7, 1993. At its ~lng of January 24, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with a City initiated rezoning of the property from NC to RM (Medium Density Residential). One of the reasons for the City initiated action was that the 3.92 acre parcel now exceeds the 2 acre limit for NC. Other reasons dealt with the appropriateness of a commercial development adjacent to the residential neighborhood. At the public hearing for the rezoning to RM, substantial opposition was expressed by residents of the adjacent neighborhood. There were cOncerns raised with respect to the RM zoning as well as the the parking situation at the corner of Seacrest Boulevard and N.W. 22nd Street. The residents p & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from NC to POD for Seacrest/Tangerine (aka Food Lion) Page 2 supported development of the site for low-intensity non-residential uses, as opposed to multi-family. At that time the Board inquired as to the possibility of splitting the property into two parcels, or applying dl f ferent zoning designations. The Board then withdrew the rezoning request due to the concerns of surrounding property owners. On October 7, 1994, an application was submitted to rezone the south 1.92 acres of the overall 3.92 acre parcel from NC to POD and is now before the Board for action. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The rezoning request involves the south 1.92 acres of an overall 3.92 acre parcel. The proposal is to rezone the 1.92 acres (currently vacant) from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to POD (Professional and Office District). The rezoning does not include the existing pizza shop, convenience store, or vacant gasoline station at the northwest corner of Seacrest Boulevard and N.W. 22nd Street, which are under separate ownership. Z 0 N I.NG ANAL Y S I S ~ REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3) Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations. IFuture Land Use Xap~I The use or structures must be allowed I in i the zoning district and the zoning district s mst be consistent with the land use designation. The sub~c~ property has a Transitional Land Use Map designation and is currently zoned NC (Neighborhood Commercial). The proposed zoning of POD (Professional and Office District) is consistent with the Transitional land use map designation. The POD (Professional and Office District) zone district was created in order to provide a very limited application of professional, office, and similar intensity uses to small parcels on properties designated as Transitional. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to consistency with the land use map designation. P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from NC to POD for Seacrest/Tangerine (aka Food Lion) Page 3., IConcurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. As the rezoning request is a change from existing commercial (NC) to a zoning which is of similar intensity (POD), level of service standards as they relate to Water, Sewer, and Drainage should not be significantly affected. As the property will remain non-residential, there will be no impact on park facilities. However, the following information is provided as it relates to Streets and Traffic, and Solid Waste. Streets and Traffic: Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D), with all rezoning requests, traffic information is required which addresses the development of the property under reasonable intensity pursuant to the existing and proposed zoning. Based upon the submitted traffic information, the maximtua development potential for the 1.92 acre property under the existing NC zone district (retail use) would result in the generation of 2,657 trips per day, whereas under the proposed POD zone district (office use) 493 trips per day will be generated. This represents a potential reduction of 2,164 trips per day. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to this level of service standard. Solid Waste: Trash generated under the proposed POD zone district (office use at 5.4 pounds per sq.ft, per year) will be less than that generated under the NC zone district (retail use at 10.2 pounds per sq.ft.). Thus, there will be a positive impact on this level of service standard. Iconsis cy,I Compliance with the standards perfomaance set forth In Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.$(D)($) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall consistency. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the applicable policies are noted. p & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from NC to POD for Seacrest/Tangerine (aka Food Lion) Page 4 Land Use Element Objective A-l= Vacant property shall be developed in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate and complies in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complimentary to adjacent land uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs. Development of the overall 3.92 acres under the current NC zone district regulations would exceed the appropriate intensity for the NC zone district. Commercial development exceeding the prescribed intensities of the NC zone district would not be complimentary with the adjacent residential properties. The proposed POD zone district is less intense than the Neighborhood Commercial and provides for a more complimentary land use to the adjacent residences. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoninq Actions)~ The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows~ (C) Additional strip commercial zoning on vacant properties shall be avoided. This policy shall not preclude rezonings on land that at the time of rezoning has improvements on it. Where existing strip commercial areas or zoning exists along an arterial street, considerat~on should be given to increasing the depth of the commercial zoning in order to provide for better project design. Typically, neighborhood commercial properties are strip commercial in nature, which is evident by the existing commercial development along Seacrest Boulevard adjacent to the subject property. Concerns with strip commercial development relate to a high intensity use with inadequate .. depth and parking facilities. The reduction of 1.92 acres of NC in a manner that does not reduce the depth of the remaining NC property, will further the above stated policy. (D) That the rezonLng shall result in allowing land uses which are'd~ed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses bo~ll exLs~lng and proposed; or that if an incompatibility maF'occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly m~lga~e adverse impacts from the new use. Properties south and west of the subject property are zoned R-l-AA (Single Family Residential); and, north and east are zoned NC. The land uses adjacent to the property include the following: south and west are 6 single family .. residences; north is the vacant office complex; and, east are Domino's Pizza, Kwik Stop convenience store, a vacant gasoline station, Seacrest Discount Beverage and Grand Rental Station. p & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from NC to POD for Seacrest/Tangerine (aka Food Lion) Page 5 Site compatibility has been expressed as a concern with previous commercial proposals - Shoppes of Seacrest and Food Lion - and the proposed rezoning to RM (January 1994). Rezoning to POD will be more compatible with the adjacent residential land uses than the existing NC zoning, and should not have any adverse impacts on the residences. Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findinqs)~ Pursuant to Section 2.4.$(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezonlng fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following= a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in srror~ b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate~ c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. The applicant has submitted a Justification statement which states the following: "The zoning circumstances have changed. The existing NC zoning is a total of 3.92 acres on the site. The code only permits 2.0 acres to be held in the NC zoning. Therefore, the 1.92 acre parcel is being rezoned to POD which is compatible with the intensity and uses within this area. This rezoning is being sought for the purpose of bringing this parcel into conformity with zoning requirements." Comment= The Justification statement addresses Items B and C as the bas~ for which the rezoning should be granted. There has been a ~J~enge in circumstances in that the amendment to the NC zone dl~tr~ regulations in 1993, reduced the intensity of the district which- makes the approximately 4 acre NC property inappropriate. With this rezoning to POD, the existing nonconformity will be eliminated as the NC property will contain the maximum 2 acres. FuL~cher, the maximum develo~xaent intensity for the properties will be reduced, thus, the properties will be more compatible with the adjacent residences. Based upon the above, it ~s appropriate to rezone the property to POD. p & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from NC to POD for Seacrest/Tangerine (aka Food Lion) Page 6 O T H E R I T E M S = Zoning District Boundary Line Until such time that a subdivision plat is recorded which clearly delineates the POD and NC parcels, the existing 3.92 acre parcel will have 2 different zoning districts. Pursuant to Section 4.1.3(H), where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot, the regulations of the greater portion shall prevail for the entire lot unless it is clear in the application of the zoning that more than one district shall apply to the property. The POD is being appl ied in a manner that speci f ical ly delineates the two separate districts, therefore the NC zone district will not prevail on the entire property. Platting The subject property currently has a metes and bounds legal description. . Previously, separate metes and bounds legal descriptions were created for the adjacent commercial parcels which constituted a subdivision,- however, a subdivision plat was never processed. Therefore, in conjunction with the rezoning request, processing of a subdivision plat is appropriate, dividing the south 1.92 acres (proposed POD zoning) from the north 2 acres (existing NC zoning). The purpose of the plat is to correct previously unapproved subdivision actions and to clearly delineate the proposed POD parcel from the NC parcel. Convenience Store Parking (NW corner Seacrest & 22nd St. ) With future development of the subject property, the back-out parking situation for the convenience store and pizza shop must be addressed (Northwest corner of Seacrest Boulevard and N.W. 22nd Street). The elimination of the back-out parking was raised with the review of the Food Lion site plan in July 1991. The parking was to be relocated to the west side of the commercial structures, on the subject property. The applicant has acknowledged that these improvements must be made with any future development of the property. Potentia~ Use of Property by Atlantic High School In rece~ ~onths, City residents and members of the City' s Education Board have approached the City Commission regarding a proposal to have the School Board purchase the 3.92 acre site for use by Atlantic High School, which is located across Seacrest Boulevard from the site. Potential uses proposed for the property include recreation facilities and/or parking. On November 1st, the City Commlssion voted to establish a task team to explore those possibilities. p & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from NC to POD for Seacrest/Tangerine (aka Food Lion) Page 7 It could be several months before recommendations are forthcoming regarding that proposal. In the meantime, the property owners want to proceed with the rezoning to make the property conforming. If the Atlantic High School proposal is approved, it will be necessary to rezone the entire 3.92 acres to CF (Community Facilities). Approval of the current rezoning of a portion of the site to POD at this time will not affect that future action. REVIEW BY OTHERS : The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by the DDA ( Downtown Development Authority) or the HPB ( Historic Preservation Board). Community Redevelopment Aqenc¥: As the subject property is adjacent to Community Redevelopment Area, the rezoning request was forwarded to the Com~aunity Redevelopment Agency for a recommendation. On October 20, 1994, the CRA reviewed and recommended approval of the rezoning request. Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. In addition, courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowner's associations: * Del-Ida Park * Dell Park * Lake Ida Park * Northeast Neighborhood Letters of objection, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLU S I ON ~ The rezoning will enable positive findings to be made with Chapter ~ of the Land Development Regulations, policies of the Compreh~ve Plall, and Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), that th~ has been a change in circumstances which make the NC zoning lnapi;ropriate and that the POD zoning is of similar intensity. The rezoning will eliminate an existing nonconformity by reducing the NC zoning on a property to the maximum 2 acres allowed. ALT E RNAT I V E AC T I ON S ~ A. Continue with direction.
