REVIEW COMMENTS DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISION MEMORANDUM NO PZ 03-228 TO Chairman and Members Community Redevelopment Agency Board THRU FROM Michael Rumpf Director of Planning and Zoning Eric Lee Johnson, AICP c,:Y Planner (j DATE September 30, 2003 PROJECT Gateway Texaco / COUS 3-007 REQUEST Conditional Use approval for a 681 square foot addition to an existing gasoline dispensing establishment PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner. SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated Applicant/Agent: Mr Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Consultants Location 2360 North Federal Highway (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) Existing Land Use/Zoning Local Retail Commercial (LRC) / Community Commercial (C-3) Proposed Land Use/Zoning No change proposed Proposed Use 681 square foot addition to an existing gasoline dispensing establishment Acreage 0 48 acres (20,830 square feet) Adjacent Uses. North A multi-family residential property zoned Community Commercial (C-3), South Right-of-way for Las Palmas Road, and farther south are single-family attached townhouses (The Harbors), zoned Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD), East: Vacant commercial lot (proposed car wash), zoned Community Commercial (C-3), and farther east is a single-family residential dwelling (part of Las Palmas development), zoned Single-family residential (R-1AA), and West: Rights-of-way of U.S. 1 and the Florida East Coast Railroad, farther west Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 2 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 developed commercial property classified Local Retail Commercial (LRC) and zoned C-2 Neighborhood Commercial BACKGROUND Mr Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Zoning Consultants, agent for SUAU Enterprises Incorporated, is requesting conditional use / major site plan modification approval to construct a 681 square foot addition to an existing gasoline dispensing establishment. In addition, the applicant is proposing new parking spaces, a new access drive / easement to facilitate internal access to an adjacent parcel, and a general "make-over" of the exterior building facades of the gasoline station building and canopy The number of gasoline pump islands and fueling positions would remain the same The subject property is a separate lot from the abutting property to the east. The proposed 681 square foot addition to the gas station is considered a conditional use in the C-3 zoning district. Also, the gas station is a legal non-conforming use because it does not comply with Chapter 2, Section 11 L.3.a (2) which requires that gas stations should be located only at intersections "consisting of roads of four (4) lanes or wider" Earlier last year, Mr Beril Kruger, acting on behalf of Mr Zuhair Marouf, expressed a desire to construct a building addition to the gas station, in part, to satisfy outstanding code enforcement violations over the use of a parked vehicle as storage space. He also proposed direct access between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east. The abutting lot to the east was earmarked for a mechanical carwash The direct access was proposed between the lots in order to minimize vehicular traffic onto Las Palmas Road These inquiries were based upon the presumption that the proposed addition would be allowed and that direct access would only require minor site plan review However, after careful consideration, staff determined that the addition would not be permitted "by right" because it would be an unlawful expansion of a non-conforming use (gasoline-dispensing establishment) and that it would exceed the threshold for a minor site plan modification To answer Mr Kruger's inquiries, on July 16, 2002, the Director of Planning & Zoning issued an administrative determination letter that basically prohibited the applicant from increasing the size of the gas station building citing Chapter 2, Sections D and G of the Land Development Regulations (non- conforming uses) Regarding the direct access between lots, the Director determined that the proposed driveway connection between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east would be permitted However, the direct access would only be allowed contingent upon the recordation of a legally binding cross-access agreement and that the entire Texaco site would have to brought into total compliance with the current Land Development Regulations. On July 31, 2002, Mr Kruger filed an appeal (ADAP 03-001) to the aforementioned administrative determination According to the staff report, "in summary, the appeal justifies the proposed expansion by the position that retail sales at this business is a separate component from the non-conforming aspect-gasoline sales, which component can therefore be altered / expanded independent of the gasoline sales element of the business. The applicant supports this position that retail sales is distinguishable from gas sales by the absence of other nearby convenience stores, and therefore, the high demand for convenience item sales at this location" Staff disagreed and recommended denial of Mr Kruger's administrative appeal based on three (3) main points. Firstly, staff argued that the Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 3 Memorandum No. PZ 03-228 determination represented the position consistently communicated by staff and therefore, the consistent interpretation of clearly written Land Development Regulations. Secondly, the sale of gasoline is the principal use of the subject business, which is located on one parcel within a single structure, and therefore, cannot be viewed separate from accessory components such as retail sales. Lastly, the applicant did not prove that the expansion of the retail aspect of the business would have been mandatory for the continued operation of the principal use, and that if denied a hardship would have been imposed The Community Redevelopment Agency voted and concurred with staff but the City Commission voted in favor of the applicant with the condition that the expansion would be limited to 600 square feet (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval) Therefore, this major site plan modification and accompanying variance requests represents the applicant's continuing effort to construct a building addition on the subject property and a stand-alone mechanical car wash on the abutting property Staff provides both an analysis and recommendation for each variance request in their respective staff report. If approved, the construction of the addition, parking lot, and fa~ade improvements would occur in one (1) phase STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING CONDmONAL USES AND ANALYSIS Section 11.2 D of the Land Development Regulations contains the following standards to which conditional uses are required to conform Following each of these standards is the Planning and Zoning Division's evaluation of the application as it pertains to standards. The Community Redevelopment Agency and City Commission shall consider only such conditional uses as are authorized under the terms of these zoning regulations and, in connection therewith, may grant conditional uses absolutely or conditioned upon the conditions including, but not limited to, the dedication of property for streets, alleys, recreation space and sidewalks, as shall be determined necessary for the protection of the surrounding area and the citizens' general welfare, or deny conditional uses when not in harmony with the intent and purpose of this section In evaluating an application for conditional use approval, the Board and Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed use on the general health, safety and welfare of the community and make written findings certifying that satisfactory provisions have been made concerning the following standards, where applicable 1 Ingress and egress to the subject property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to automobile and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. No driveway openings are being altered as a result of this major site plan modification. The site plan (sheet 1 of 4) shows that there are two existing (2) ''curb drops" on North Federal Highway According to Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3.d. (1), driveway openings for gas-stations are required to be located at least 120 feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines along streets of higher classification (North Federal Highway). According to the site plan, the northern "curb-drop" is located 102 feet from the intersection of North Federal Highway and Las Palmas Avenue. The southern "curb-drop" on North Federal Highway is located only 23 feet from the intersection of U.S. 1 and Las Palmas A venue. The proposed building addition is a major site plan modification and therefore, the entire site would have to comply with today's code. However, the applicant is not proposing to alter the driveway opening and is requesting a 97-foot variance (ZNCV 03-010) from Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 4 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 the 120-foot requirement (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). This single variance request would be applied to both non-conforming driveway openings. Staff supports this variance request (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-010). According to Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3.d. (3) of the Land Development Regulations, driveway openings shall not be located less than 30 feet from any interior property line. The northern driveway on North Federal Highway does not comply with this requirement because it is located only 21 feet away from the interior north side property line. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a 10-foot variance from this restriction (ZNCV 03-011). Staff supports this variance request (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-011). Also, the supplemental regulations for gas stations limit the number of driveway openings to one (1) per street frontage. The subject site has two (2) driveway openings on North Federal Highway The applicant is requesting a variance (ZNCV 03-012) from Chapter 2, Section 11.3.d(4) to allow for these two driveway openings. The Engineering Division reviewed the site plan and recommended that no closures should occur to any of the openings due to the proposed on-site traffic circulation and the anticipated completion of the Harbors townhouse project. Note direct access from the subject lot to the lot directly to the east may only occur after the recordation of a cross-access agreement (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Therefore, staff is recommending approval of this variance request to allow two (2) driveway openings (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-012). In any event, all three variance requests regarding the existing driveways would require review and approval by the City Commission. The site plan (sheet 1 of 4) shows an existing driveway opening is located on Las Palmas Avenue. This opening is currently located 32 feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines and complies with the Land Development Regulations. No change is proposed to this opening. The survey shows that there is no sidewalk along Las Palmas A venue. However, according to Chapter 6, Article 111, Section 10. T of the Land Development Regulations, a sidewalk is required within this right-ot-way A sidewalk would also be required within the right-ot-way (of Las Palmas Avenue) in front of the abutting property to the east where the car wash is proposed (NWSP 03- 011). The applicant submitted an administrative waiver to this requirement but was subsequently denied by the Engineering Division. The applicant is appealing the administrative decision regarding the sidewalk requirements for both lots. 2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with particular attention to the items in subsection above, and the economic, glare, noise, and odor effects the conditional use will have on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole The required parking has been tabulated based on a gasoline dispensing establishment use. The ratio utilized is one (1) space for each 250 square feet of the gross floor area. Based on this methodology, the proposed expansion, coupled with the floor area of the existing building would require 10 parking spaces. The required number of parking spaces needs to be accurately shown on the site plan (sheet 1 of 4) tabular data (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The site plan shows that 12 parking spaces would be provided. The applicant intends to re-stripe the existing spaces and create three (3) more spaces and a drive aisle at the northeast corner of the property The backup distance behind the newly created parking spaces would adhere to current dimension standards. However, one (1) of the new parking spaces would encroach into the required 10-foot wide interior landscape buffer along the east property line. This encroachment will be discussed later in this staff report. Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 5 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 3 Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the items in subsection 1 and 2 above The survey shows that the dumpster is currently located one foot from the south property line at the southeast corner of the property The site plan (sheet 1 of 4) shows that the dumpster would be moved five (5) feet away from the south property line and one (1) foot - eight (8) inches from the east property line. It would be located within a dumpster enclosure as per code. It should be noted that staff would prefer to have the location of the dumpster enclosure away from the highly visible areas such as from the rights-of-way However, staff acknowledges that the current site layout (i e. building, parking space, driveway openings) limits the number of choices for its relocation. The present location facilitates the efficient removal of trash and that this efficiency could be jeopardized if located elsewhere on the site. 4 Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and compatibility Consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and city regulations, all utilities, including potable water and sanitary sewer are available for this project. 5 Screening, buffering and landscaping with reference to type, dimensions, and character The subject site had been previously developed as a gas station and related parking areas under former, less stringent standards for gas stations. Therefore, the existing landscape buffer areas are non-compliant. According to Chapter 2, Section 11.3.f(l) of the Land Development Regulations, a ten (10) foot wide landscape buffer is required along both North Federal Highway and Las Palmas A venue. The buffer is required to contain a tree every 30 feet. A continuous row of hedges and flowering groundcover are also required. The intent is to screen the vehicular use areas from the public rights-ot-way The landscape plan (sheet L -1) shows that no change is proposed to the driveways or parking areas. Basically, there is no landscape buffer along North Federal Highway Since 10-foot wide landscape buffers are required along rights-of-way, the applicant is requesting a variance (ZNCV 03-016) from the code to have no landscape buffer along North Federal Highway and a five (5) foot wide landscape buffer along Las Palmas Avenue (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval) As in the case with the driveway openings, since both landscape buffers are less than 10 feet in width, one (1) variance request would apply to both buffers. The justification lies in the fact that if a 10-foot variance were approved to allow for a zero (0) foot wide landscape buffer, then that same variance approval would nullify the need for a five (5) foot wide buffer Staff is recommending approval of the variance request due to the unavoidable site constraints (see Staff Report ZNCV 03- 016) However, staff is recommending approval with the stipulation that in the southern landscape buffer (along Las Palmas Avenue), the proposed row of Ixora 'Nora Grant'shrubs be 36 inches in height at the time of installation. Also, staff is recommending, where possible, additional screening be provided (i e. planters) along North Federal Highway (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). As always, the variance request would have to be reviewed and approved by the City Commission to allow for a deviation from the Land Development Regulations. According to Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3.f (2), a landscape buffer 10 feet in width is required on along all interior property lines. The landscape plan (L-l) shows existing landscape buffers along the north and east property lines. However, the existing landscape buffer along the north property line is Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 6 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 approximately five (5) feet in width and does not comply with the 10-foot wide buffer requirement Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance (ZNCV 03-017) from the aforementioned Land Development Regulations to reduce the landscape buffer by five (5) feet in order to allow a five (5) foot wide landscape buffer in lieu of the required 10-foot wide landscape buffer The variance's justification and analysis is provided in the respective staff report. Staff is recommending approval of the variance request due to the existing site constraints. Again, the variance request would have to be reviewed and approved by the City Commission. The survey shows that along the north property line, the existing parking lot appears to encroach into the required north landscape buffer The existing north landscape buffer does not comply with code because it is less than 10 feet in width. Also, the plans show that a proposed angled parking space would encroach into the eastern landscape buffer The east landscape buffer complies with code. However, vehicle encroachment into landscape buffers is not permitted pursuant to Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 3.B.4 of the Land Development Regulations. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance (ZNCV 03-024) from Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 3, B. 4., to allow a parked vehicle to encroach two and one-half (2- V2) feet into the east landscape buffer The two and one (2- V2) foot encroachment assumes that the City Commission would approve the variance request for the reduction in buffer width. In both cases, staff is recommending approval of reducing the required width of the north and east landscape buffers to allow for five (5) foot wide landscape buffers (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-017). Staff supports this encroachment into the required north landscape buffer, in part, because the parking lot already exists. However, staff opposes allowing any new spaces / areas of vehicular encroachment. This would occur, by the proposed angled parking space into the east landscape buffer The project requires only 10 parking spaces, not 12 spaces and therefore, any excess parking that would be provided should comply with all aspects of the code. Simply put, the elimination of the proposed angled parking space (at the northeast corner of the property) would cancel the need for this variance. (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The variance would only apply to the existing conditions at the northern portion of the property As in all cases, this variance would require City Commission review and approval The north landscape buffer would contain Crape Myrtle, Dahoon Holly, and Alexander (double- trunked) palm trees. Green Buttonwood and Redtip Cocoplum hedges would be installed at the base. The east landscape buffer would contain Sabal palm trees, Green Buttonwood / Redtip Cocoplum hedges, and an existing five (5) foot high concrete wall 6 Signs, and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties. This conditional use application proposes wall signs on multiple facades. The elevation pages (sheets 3 and 4 of 4) show the existing wall signs with the proposed wall signage. The maximum allowable wall signage area would be based on the length of the front building fa~ade facing North Federal Highway According to Chapter 21, Article IV, Section 2. C of the Land Development Regulations, the maximum area for all wall signs shall be one and one half (1 V2) square feet of sign area for each one (1) foot of linear building frontage. The elevations do not indicate the proposed cumulative wall signage area. However, the proposed wall and canopy signage are itemized on an attached 8- V2 by 11 inch sheet. This attached sheet lacks the wall signage area in its entirety because it omits the existing / proposed signs on the north and south sides of the building. As proposed, it appears that the wall signage area would not comply with the maximum allowable Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 7 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 signage area. Staffs goal is not to regulate the content of the sign but rather to ensure compliance with code and to maximize sign aesthetics thereby preventing project signage from degrading the developments appearance. In order to reduce the wall sign area and upgrade the overall appearance, staff recommends eliminating all non-word depictions (Texacos corporate logo which is a white-star-in-red-circle) that do not directly correspond with wording (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). For example, staff recommends eliminating the isolated non-word depiction (shown as Sign '~" on the attached 8- V2 by 11 inch sheet) because this non-word depiction is not attached or a part of a sign containing words. Non-word depictions signs "c" and ''D'' are acceptable because Sign "c" is associated with the ''Food Mart" sign and Sign ''D'' is associated with the "Texaco" sign. Neither Sign "c" or Sign "0" appear to be isolated non-word depictions. Chapter 21, Article III, Section 5 requires all freestanding signs to be located at least 10 feet from the property lines and limits the height to 20 feet. The existing sign is currently located only five (5) feet from the property line and stands over 33 feet tall. Its on-site location is shown on the survey and site plan and its elevation is shown on the attached 8 V2 by ll-inch sheet. The applicant is proposing to add more sign area to this non-conforming structure. The pole sign is non-conforming because it exceeds the height limitations and does not meet minimum setback requirements. The structure must be setback at least 10 feet from the property line(s}. As proposed, the new "Car Wash" portion would be added to the structure. However, no existing sign area is shown on the attached sheet. Therefore, it is unclear if the proposed signage area would comply with Chapter 21, Article Ill, Section 2.8 of the Land Development Regulations. The code allows for a maximum of 64 square feet of sign area (see ExhibIt "c" - Conditions of Approval). Also, the proposed sign itself (Car Wash) appears to be advertising for the mechanical car wash facility, which is proposed on the abutting lot the east. It must be noted that the abutting lot to the east is an entirely separate lot and that no advertising for it may occur on the subject property due to the sign code restrictions regarding off-premise signage (Chapter 21, Article II, Section 3.S. of the Land Development Regulations) Also, because the gas station is a non-conforming use, a Unity of 77tle cannot combine the two (2) lots together However, if the "Carwash" wording is a component of the official business name of the gas station on which the pole sign is located, then the applicant should provide document ion for verification. Wording on the sign should graphically and accurately reflect / correspond with the official business name of the business on the subject property (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). Since the structure is non-conforming due to it currently being located within the required setbacks, the applicant is requesting a five (5) foot variance (ZNCV 03-023) to allow the sign to be located five (5) feet from the property line rather than 10 feet as normally required by code. In this instance, staff is recommending denial of the applicants variance request (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-023). The structure can be removed, reduced in height, and relocated on the property so that it would still be highly visible from the rights-ot-way while complying with todays setback, height, and cross-visibility restrictions (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). The variance request would require City Commission review and approval 7 Required setbacks and other open spaces. The existing building meets the setback requirements of the C- 3 zoning district. However, the proposed building addition would not meet the rear setback requirements. The required rear setback is 20 feet. The proposed building addition would encroach into the setback by 10 feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a 10-foot variance (ZNCV 03-013) from Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3.e.(3} to Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 8 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 allow the addition to encroach into the required 20-foot rear setback. As previously mentioned in the Background section of this staff report, the City Commission approved the applicants Administrative Appeal (ADAP 03-001) to allow a 600 square foot addition. The size of the proposed building addition (681 square feet) is not consistent with the previous City Commission approval (600 square feet). Staff is recommending denial of this variance request (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-013). The proposed addition could be configured or reduced in such as way as to meet the setback requirements of the C- 3 zoning district and therefore, not need a variance. Since this is a major site plan modification, all structures (including the canopy and fueling pumps) are required to meet setback requirements. The existing canopy over the gas pump islands does not meet the 20-foot setback requirement. The existing pump islands do not meet the 30-foot setback requirement. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the canopy structure other than cosmetic enhancements. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a 10-V2 foot variance (ZNCV 03-14) to allow the existing canopy to be located nine and one-half (9 - V2) feet from the west property line instead of 20 feet as required by code (see Staff Report ZNCV 03-014). Also, the existing pump islands are located only 19 feet -10 inches from the west property line. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance (ZNCV 03-015) to also allow the gas pump islands to be located closer to the west property line rather than the 30 feet required by code (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). Again, staff is recommending approval of both variance requests. As always, they would require City Commission review and approval. 8 General compatibility with adjacent property and other property in the zoning district. The proposed use is a conditional use in the C- 3 zoning district. Although auto-intensive in nature, the use is generally compatible with the use of the abutting property to the north. The property directly to the east is vacant and zoned C- 3. This vacant lot is earmarked for a mechanical car wash. Car washes are typically accessory uses to gas stations so therefore, a gas station use would be compatible with the anticipated use of the abutting property to the east. The property south of Las Palmas A venue was previously zoned C- 3, the same as the subject property However, it was recently rezoned from C-3 to Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) for the construction of over 50 fee-simple townhouses. Unless properly buffered, a gas station use could be incompatible with a residential use. Buffering would include extra landscaping or a buffer wall. The existing gas station is separated from the townhouse project by Las Palmas A venue and a proposed five (5) foot wide landscape buffer A gas station is a compatible use with other uses in the C-3 zoning district. The proposed building expansion (for extra storage area) would be compatible with both commercial and residential uses. The proposed building colors would be compatible with the existing and proposed buildings within the immediate area. The elevations indicate the proposed colors to be dark green (Benjamin Moore - Chrome Green), white (Benjamin Moore - Brilliant White), and gray (Benjamin Moore - San Antonio Gray). These are the corporate Texaco colors and are recognized nationwide. 9 Height of building and structures, with reference to compatibility and harmony to adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole The maximum allowable height for the C-3 zoning district is 45 feet. The existing building was designed as a one (1)-story structure. The top of the existing canopy is 16 feet - nine (9) inches in Gateway Texaco - COUS 03-007 Page 9 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 height. The elevations show that a "custom clad metal framed decorative element" is proposed at 20 feet - six (6) inches in height. The building and canopy are well below the maximum height limitation and are compatible with the surrounding properties. However, the non-conforming freestanding pole sign would be incompatible with all signs in the C-3 zoning district and neighboring properties. 10 Economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole. The existing gas station represents one (1) of two (2) Texaco stations throughout the City Of Boynton Beach. The other Texaco station is located at 645 West Boynton Beach Boulevard. The nearest gas station to the subject property would either be the Mobil gas station, located on the southwest corner of Gateway Boulevard and High Ridge Road or the Citgo gas station, located at the southwest corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway Therefore, the subject gas station represents additional convenience and choice for the City residents, which is not offered elsewhere in this area of the city The applicant states that "there are no detrimental economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties and the city as a whole" 11 Conformance to the standards and requirements which apply to site plans, as set forth in Chapter 19, Article II of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances. (Part III Chapter 4 Site Plan Review) The existing use and site is non-conforming in many ways. If all requested variances are approved and all staff comments are addressed, the proposed project would comply with all requirements of applicable sections of the city code. However, staff is recommending denial of two (2) of the 10 requested variances and that these aspects of the site be retrofitted to comply with city regulations. 12. Compliance with, and abatement of nuisances and hazards in accordance with the performance standards within Section 4 N of the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, also, conformance to the City of Boynton Beach noise Control Ordinance With incorporation of all conditions and staff recommendations contained herein, the proposed storage addition to the existing gas-station would operate in a manner that is in compliance with the above-referenced codes and ordinances of the City of Boynton Beach. RECOMMENDATION The City Commission approved the applicant's Administrative Appeal (ADAP 03-001) to allow a 600 square foot storage addition to the existing gas station The existing use (gas sales) and site is non- conforming The building addition represents a major site plan modification, which requires that the entire site be brought into compliance with current code However, the applicant is only proposing to expand the building area to accommodate the extra storage area and has no intention of improving the remaining portion of the site to bring it into compliance with today's standards, which would also be cost prohibitive or even impossible due to site constraints. To remedy the situation, the applicant is requesting 10 variances that address the non-conforming aspects of the subject site However, the proposed area of the addition is not consistent with the area that was conceptually approved by the City Commission Furthermore, the proposed expansion itself does not comply with the Gateway Texaco COUS 03-007 Page 10 Memorandum No PZ 03-228 setback requirements of the C-3 zoning district. This is a situation where staff concurs with the applicant's justification for eight (8) of the 10 variances requested that are directly related to existing non-conforming aspects of the site.
