AGENDA DATE: August 19, 2020
STAFF CONTACTS:
Filardo, Rapp, Nedostup, Kanellopoulos
PRESENTER:
Tori Kanellopoulos, Senior Planner
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting on June 16, 2020, the Planning Commission voted 6:1 to recommend approval of
SP20200006 with conditions 1-5 as stated in the staff report.
The Planning Commission's staff report, action letter, and minutes are attached (Attachments A,
B, and C).
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission did not request any changes to the application. The Commission did
request that the applicant verify sprinklering requirements for the building. Staff contacted the
Building Official, who responded that sprinklering may be required during site planning and
building permitting. If the total building is greater than 5,000 square feet, and no fire wall
separates the original building and the addition, a sprinkler system would likely be required.
Since the Planning Commission public hearing, there have been no changes to the application.
There has been one change to the staff -recommended conditions. The condition on building
height has been removed, as the building height is already included on the concept plan (+/- 24
feet). Given that the building height is labeled on the concept plan, it is not necessary to include
height as its own condition.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment D) to approve
SP202000006. As discussed in the previous section, there have been minor changes to the
conditions. The revised proposed conditions are the following:
1. Development of the use must be in general accord, as determined by the Director of
Planning and the Zoning Administrator, with the Conceptual Plan titled "Scott's Ivy Exxon
— Special Use Permit — Conceptual Layout Plan", prepared by Collins Engineering, with
the latest revision date of June 2, 2020. To be in general accord with the Conceptual
Plan, development must reflect the following major elements within the development
essential to the design of the development and as described in the narrative and concept
plan:
a. Location and building footprint of the proposed expansion.
b. The number of auto service bays.
c. Mitigating landscaping within the stream buffer, to the satisfaction of the County
Engineer.
d. Location and type of proposed landscaping buffer. The landscaping buffer must
be a mixture of deciduous and evergreen plantings, to the satisfaction of the
Planning Director.
e. Location of the parking areas.
The following restrictions to any new outdoor lighting apply:
a. all fixtures must be full cutoff;
b. lighting is limited to 20 foot-candles at the ground;
c. new outdoor lighting must be on a timer or motion sensor between the hours of
10 PM and 6 AM.
All mechanical equipment must be fully screened from the view of adjacent properties
and adjacent public streets.
Hours of operation of the service station are limited to within 7 AM - 9 PM, Monday
through Saturday. Fuel sales are permitted 24 hours per day.
