Department of Community Development
Memorandum
To: Elaine Echols, FAICP
From: Ron Higgins, AICP, Chief of Zoning/Deputy Zoning Administrator
Division: Zoning
Date: February 12, 2016
Subject: ZMA201200007-5t' Street Commercial & SP201300027 Fifth Street Commercial Drive Thru
Zoning comments on the latest (January 18, 2016) submittal (with proffers) for this ZMA are:
1) The new minimum and maximum setbacks should be listed in the notes and used in placing the
building(s). The building closest to 5t" Street should have a maximum front setback of 30 feet.
2) The drive-thru will need to be revised to comply with the new proposed standards. This should include
a by-pass lane the entire length of the stacking lane.
3) The second proffer should update the reference date for the County Code to be more current with the date
of approval of the new ZMA. Until that time it should be left blank.
4) The ZMA referenced in proffers should be shown as ZMA201200007.
5) If fuel islands are still permitted in the use proffers, then proffer #5 placing them behind a building is
still needed.
6) More consideration should be given to the list of uses being proffered as it is much more extensive than
the original proffered list in ZMA199900013. Also, the first paragraph in the "Attachment A — USES
PERMITTED HC" should be removed since it conflicts with the required setbacks in HC.
7) The proposed retaining walls are shown as Max. Height = 15'. This may result in a recommended
stepping of the wall height to 6' heights for each "step". Room should be left for this.
8) The second access out of the Holiday Inn parking lot will require disturbance of "preserved slopes". This
can be accomplished specifically as part of this ZMA approval by the Board of Supervisors (Section
30.7.4.b. l.g. This should be pointed out in the staff reports.
9) It is not clear on the Application Plan where the HC and LI zoning boundary is on Tax Map Parcel
076M1-00-00-00100. It should be shown in order to confirm that the uses proposed are in the HC
portion.
