Background:
The Applicant is requesting a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Low Density Residential to Industrial, and Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) on approximately one (1) acre, to incorporate the site into the existing outdoor storage facility development adjacent on the north, south, east, and west.
The existing Adult Toy Storage development permits those uses under the C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) and the M-1A (Very Light Industrial) zoning districts, including outdoor storage. The Applicant proposes to incorporate the subject one (1) acre parcel into the existing development.
The requested Industrial Future Land Use allows a maximum Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) of 0.65 and permits the requested C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) zoning district.
The Future Land Use (FLU) and Zoning designations surrounding the subject property are as follows:
North: FLU: Industrial
Zoning: C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale).
South: FLU: Planned Development
Zoning: PD (Planned Development) known as the Hillview North PD allowing those permitted uses under the C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) and M-1A (Very Light Industrial) permitted uses as well as outdoor storage.
East: FLU: Industrial
Zoning: C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale); Known as the Adult Toy Storage development.
West: FLU: Planned Development
Zoning: PD (Planned Development) known as the Hillview North PD allowing those permitted uses under the C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) and M-1A (Very Light Industrial) permitted uses as well as outdoor storage.
Site Analysis
Floodplain Impacts:
Based on the 2007 FIRM map, there does not appear to be any flood prone areas on the subject property.
Wetland Impacts:
Based on preliminary aerial photo and County wetland map analysis, there does not appear to be any wetlands on the subject property.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife:
Based on a preliminary analysis, there may be endangered and threatened wildlife on the subject property. A listed species survey will be required prior to approval of Final Engineering.
Utilities:
The site is located within the City of Altamonte Springs utility service area and will be required to connect to public utilities.
Transportation/Traffic:
The property is completely surrounded by the Adult Toy Storage development on the north, south, west and east, and will be accessed from Hillview Drive, which is classified as a local road and does not have improvements programmed in the County five (5) year Capital Improvement Program.
Drainage:
The proposed project is located within the Little Wekiva Drainage Basin and has limited downstream capacity; therefore, the site will have to be designed to hold water quality and the pre/post volumetric difference for the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm event.
Buffers:
The subject site is surrounded by an outdoor RV storage facility and will be incorporated into the existing development; therefore, buffers will not be required.
Open Space:
A minimum of twenty-five (25) percent open space will be provided.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
The purpose and intent of the requested Industrial Future Land Use designation is to identify locations for a variety of heavy commercial and industrial land uses oriented toward wholesale distribution, storage, manufacturing, and other industrial uses. This land use should be located with direct access to rail systems, collector and arterial roadways, and as infill development where this use is established. The maximum intensity permitted in this designation is 0.65 floor area ratio.
Heavy commercial and industrial uses have been established as the trend of development of the properties adjacent to the west, east, north and south of the subject site since December of 1999, with the approval of the Hattaway/Hillview Planned Development.
Staff finds the requested Future Land Use designation and zoning classification to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the trend of development in the area.
Consistency with the Land Development Code
The requested C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) zoning classification provides for the business operation of wholesale distribution, storage, and light manufacturing.
All uses conducted in commercial and industrial districts shall comply with the performance standards in accordance with Part 68 of the Seminole County Land Development Code as not to be injurious or offensive to the occupants of adjacent premises by reason of emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other particular matter, toxic or noxious waste materials, odors, fire, and explosive hazard or glare.
In compliance with Seminole County Land Development Code Sec. 30.49 (a) - Community Meeting Procedure, the Planning & Development Division Manager has waived the requirement of a Community Meeting due to the fact that the site is surrounded on all sides by an existing RV outdoor storage facility; therefore, surrounding residents will not be affected by the proposed development expansion.
Requested Action:
Request the Board of County Commissioners adopt the Ordinance enacting a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Low Density Residential to Industrial, and adopt the Ordinance enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) on approximately one (1) acre, located on the west side of Mathews Road, approximately 600 feet north of Hillview Drive.
