FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT ON LOT 4R, BLOCK 4, BRENTWOOD ESTATES ADDITION TO ALLOW AN AUTOMOBILE LUBRICATION CENTER AND MINOR AUTO REPAIR INA C1-COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 8401 DAVIS BLVD. TABLED Kitina Gilstrap, of KPA Consulting, has submitted a Special Use Permit Application for an automobile lubrication center called America's Service Station in a C-1 Commercial District. The proposed automobile lubrication center uses includes oil change and lube, battery service, state inspections, wheel alignments, bearings and seals, tire balance, repair and rotation, break repair, and belt and hose replacement. The proposed building has an exterior of 100% masonry. The applicant has located the 3 bay doors to the north side of the building. Staff made this suggestion since there is an existing single family residence to the south. Lot 4R contains 27,384 square feet and is located south of the southern entrance on Davis Boulevard. The applicant is proposing to develop a one-story building (20' maximum height) containing 3,920 square feet. The applicant is required to provide 8 off-street parking spaces and is providing 28 spaces. The applicant is providing 6,641 square feet of landscape area, which is approximately 24% of the lot area. The shopping center landscape plan was approved prior to adoption of the latest Landscape Regulations on October 25, 1999. As a result there is only a 10 foot required landscape buffer strip along Davis Boulevard. Buffering along the entry driveway on the northern property line is not required by the landscape regulations. However, the Commission has the ability to require additional landscaping to provide additional screening or buffering as deemed necessary. A Special Use Permit is intended to provide flexibility by allowing certain types of uses in areas where special conditions may need to be considered to reduce adverse effects on adjacent or surrounding properties. The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend safeguards or conditions of approval to reduce the effect on adjacent or surrounding properties. The City Council may, in the public welfare and to assure compliance with the intent of this Ordinance, require such development standards and safeguards as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Johnson stated that staff recommends approval of PZ 2000-07 with the condition that the site summary table on the site plan reflect the correct amount of landscaped area as shown on the landscape plan. P & Z Minutes March 9, 2000 5 Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. Ms. Kitina Gilstrap, KPA Consulting, Inc, presented request. She explained that Albertson's would prefer the bay doors facing south, but due to staff concern, they were placed on the north side. Mr. Welch stated that he would prefer to see some of the parking on the south side relocated and the bay doors on the south side. Mr. Ernie Kennedy, Regency Realty for Albertson's, stated they would also prefer the building be shifted, stating that additional landscaping would not be a problem and they would also be willing to add a living screen along the south property line. Seeing no additional proponents, and no opponents, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Lueck, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to Table PZ 2000-07 to the March 23, 2000 meeting, allowing the applicant time to bring back revised plans, which will include revised landscaping. The motion carried unanimously. P & Z Minutes March 9, 2000 6 _."~~,._.__,o,_,_.<__.__,._______,_~___ 8. PZ 2000-08 REQUEST OF GSBS BA TEN HORST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL ON PROPOSED LOT 1, BLOCK 1, BRENTWOOD ESTATES ADDITION. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SHADY GROVE ROAD AND DAVIS BLVD AND IS WITHIN 200' OF RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY APPROVED Mr. Johnson explained that this site plan approval is for a bank and drive through lane located within 200' of residentially zoned property. The parcel contains 1.4 acres and is zoned C 1-Commercial. The applicant has provided landscaping on 35% of the lot where only 15% is required. There is at least 25 feet of landscaping along Davis Blvd and Shady Grove Road. A six-foot masonry screening wall and 15-foot landscape buffer with 3" caliper tress every 30 feet separates the residential/agricultural property to the west. The 6,500 square foot building is setback approximately 40 feet from the western property line. Access from Davis Blvd will be shared with future commercial development to the north. There are 30 parking spaces provided where 22 are required. There are plans for five drive through lanes, which has been reviewed by the fire marshal with no concern. A masonry-retaining wall, 25 feet from Davis Blvd and 40 feet from Shady Grove Road is proposed. The wall varies in height from six to nine feet and is approximately 230 feet long. Mr. Johnson stated that staff recommends approval of PZ 2000-08. Mr. Lueck, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to approve PZ 2000-08 as presented. The motion carried unanimously. P & Z Minutes March 9, 2000 7 9. PZ 2000-11 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF GSBS BA TEN HORST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW EXTERIOR MATERIALS OTHER THAN MASONRY, INCLUDING STUCCO AND METAL PANELS, ON PROPOSED LOT 1, BLOCK 1, BRENTWOOD ESTATES ADDITION. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF DAVIS BLVD. & SHADY GROVE ROAD. TABLED Mr. Johnson explained that GSBS Batenhorst is requesting a Special Use Permit to allow materials other than masonry on the proposed bank to be located on Lot 1, Block 1, Brentwood Estates Addition, which is the northwest corner of Davis Blvd and Shady Grove Rd. The elevation drawings indicate a significant amount of stucco and metal panels. The masonry requirement in all commercial districts is 100%. As presented the building shows approximately 35% masonry and 65% stucco and metal panels, minus doors and glass. The Zoning Ordinance allows materials other than those specified in the masonry definition with the issuance of a SUP. Among other things, this provision is to provide for circumstances when an applicant seeks to advance the appearance of a development through the use of alternative materials. Mr. Johnson stated that staff recommends approval of PZ 2000-11. Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and asked the applicant forward. Mr. Tom Batenhorst, GSBS Batenhorst approached the Commission and stated that he believes the ratio's are incorrect. He would like time to re-evaluate these and requests the Commission table this item to March 23, 2000. He stated he would be able to bring back graphic presentations of what is proposed and how it will be done. Mr. Laubacher, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to Table PZ 2000-11 until the March 23, 2000 meeting. The motion carried unanimously. P & Z Minutes March 9, 2000 8 10.
