PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated Applicant/Agent: Mr, Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Consultants Location: 2360 North Federal Highway Boynton Beach, FL 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 gasoline dispensing establishment (limited to a Staff Report Driveway variances ZNCV 03-010, 03-011 and 03-012 Memorandum No PZ-04-225 Page 2 maximum of 600 square feet by Condition of Approval for appeal - ADAP 02-001), Acreage: 0.48 Acre (20,830 square feet) Adjacent Uses: (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) North: Multi-family residential property, zoned Community Commercial (C-3); South: Right-of-way for Las Palmas Avenue, and farther south are single-family attached townhouses under construction (The Harbors), zoned Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD); East: Vacant commercial lot zoned Community Commercial (C-3) and farther east is a single-family residential dwelling (part of Las Palmas development), zoned Single- family residential, (R-1-AA); and West: Rights-of-way of U,S, 1 and the Florida East Coast Railroad, and farther west developed commercial property classified Local Retail Commercial (LRC) and zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-2), PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject conditional use were mailed a notice of this request and its respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with Ordinance No, 04-007. BACKGROUND Mr, Beril Kruger of Beril Kruger Planning & Zoning Consultants, agent for SUAU Enterprises, Incorporated is requesting conditional use / major site plan modification approval involving a series of variance requests in order to construct a 681 square foot building addition to an existing gasoline dispensing establishment. The applicant is also proposing new parking spaces, additional landscaping, and a general "make-over" of the exterior facades of the existing building and canopy, However, the number of gasoline pump islands and fueling positions would remain unaltered, The proposed building expansion is being considered for conditional use approval because gasoline dispensing establishments are only allowed as conditional uses in the C-3 zoning district. Also, it should be noted that this particular gas-station is a legal non-conforming use because it is currently a fully functional, operating, and licensed gas station but does meet the locational criteria for gas stations as outlined by Chapter 2, Section 11.L.3,a,(2) of the Land Development Regulations. The aforementioned code requires gas stations to be located only on parcels of land located at intersections "consisting of roads of four (4) lanes or wider"; Las Palmas is only two (2) lanes wide, In 2002, Mr. Beril Kruger, acting on behalf of Mr, Zuhair Marouf, expressed a desire to construct a building addition to the existing gas station, in part, to satisfy outstanding code enforcement violations, He also proposed direct access between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east (which was previously earmarked for a mechanical car wash), The direct access was proposed in order to minimize vehicular traffic spilling onto Las Palmas Avenue, Mr, Kruger's inquiries were based on the presumption that the proposed 681 square foot expansion would be permitted (by right) and that direct access to the abutting lot (to the Staff Report Driveway variances ZNCV 03-010, 03-011 and 03-012 Memorandum No PZ-04-225 Page 3 east) would only require site plan review. However, after careful consideration, staff determined that the building addition would not be permitted (by-right) because it would represent an unlawful expansion of a legal non-conforming use (a gasoline-dispensing establishment), Furthermore, in response to 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 because by doing so, would constitute a violation of Chapter 2, Sections D and G of the Land Development Regulations, 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 subsequent to site plan review, However, the direct access would only be allowed contingent upon the recordation of a legally binding cross- access agreement between the subject lot and the lot directly to the east. On July 31, 2002, Mr, Kruger submitted a formal appeal of the staff's aforementioned administrative determination, According to the applicant, "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", Again, staff disagreed with the applicant's position, However, the City Commission approved the applicant's appeal but with the condition that the expansion would be limited to 600 square feet. On June 17, 2003, Mr, Kruger submitted a request for conditional use / major site plan modification approval and its accompanying variances for the construction of the building addition. Both staff and the CRA reviewed the site plan and the variances and recommended approval contingent upon 43 conditions of approval, one of which, limited the buidling addition to 600 square feet. On October 21, 2003, the City Commission approved their request for conditional use / major site plan modification and the accompanying variances, However, on November 18, 2003, the City Commission rescinded their previous approvals, Most recently, on August 11, 2004, Mr, Kruger re-submitted a revised request for major site plan modification and accompanying variances (see Exhibit "B" - Site Plan and Survey). If approved, the construction of the addition, parking lot, and fac;;:ade improvements would occur in one (1) phase. It should be noted that the difference between this submittal and the original submittal as described above, is that the proposed car wash on the abutting lot (to the east) has been abandoned. As such, the drive aisle that was to connect to the lot to the east has also been eliminated from the design, As part of the major site plan modification process, the site has to meet all the requirements of the Land Development Regulations or obtain relief if necessary, Mr, Beril Kruger is requesting relief from the above- referenced Land Development Regulations, which requires that parking lot driveways be constructed at least one hundred twenty (120) feet from streets of higher classifications, The existing gas station business includes two (2), existing driveway entrances measuring 30 feet wide providing ingress and egress along North Federal Highway and one (1) existing driveway entrance measuring 30 feet wide along Las Palmas Avenue, The southernmost entrance driveway on North Federal Highway is located approximately 23 feet from Las Palmas Avenue, while the second driveway is located 103 feet from Las Palmas and 20 feet from the interior property line (north property line). The existing driveway is located on a major arterial (Federal Highway), therefore, the 120 foot separation from the intersection and interior property line is required, As indicated on the site plan associated with the proposed addition, the applicant is proposing to construct a 681 square foot addition located at the rear (east side) of the existing gas station building along the east property line. The subject parcel is approximately 0.48 acres in size with approximately 153 feet of frontage along North Federal Highway, and 136 feet of frontage along Las Palmas Avenue (see Exhibit "B" - Survey), The special lot conditions that exist are the short frontage distance along the North Federal Highway right-of- way and, that the driveways are existing and necessary for fueling tanker circulation. Therefore, it is not Staff Report Driveway variances ZNCV 03-010, 03-011 and 03-012 Memorandum No PZ-04-225 Page 4 feasbile to limit the site to one driveway access point on North Federal Highway at the minimum driveway separation of 120 feet and simultaneously meet minimum site circulation needs of the existing business, If such redesign could meet this standard and operational needs, it is likely that other deficiencies, and the need for other variances would be generated. ANALYSIS The code states that the zoning code variance cannot be approved unless the board finds the following: a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district. b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. e. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. f. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Staff has conducted this review with the assumption that, based on the city's prior approval of the administrative appeal acknowledging the increase in intensity of this non-conforming use, that the city is aware of the potential of certain hardships and non-conformities associated with the site, Staff also reviewed the requested variances focusing on the applicant's response to the above criteria contained in Exhibit "(" - Marouf Shell Variances, as well as existing site restrictions, and proposed design requirements. Staff has determined that site constraints at this location are a partial justification for granting this variance. In order to satisfy the Land Development Regulations, the driveways along North Federal Highway would have to be placed 120 feet from the intersection of Las Palmas Avenue, This scenario would not leave the additional linear footage necessary to provide the 30-foot minimum driveway width and the 30- foot minimum distance from the interior property line, as required by code. Further complying with code would result in the elimination of both existing driveways on North Federal Highway, This would create inefficient internal and external vehicular traffic circulation and undue hardship, which could force the closing of the business. Also, the driveways on Federal Highway minimize the traffic impact of this existing business onto Las Palmas Avenue, If there was only one project entrance (the Las Palmas Avenue entrance), traffic exiting from the site including refueling trucks would have insufficient stacking length at the adjacent traffic signal/intersection, This situation would not comply with on-site circulation standards and would congest the secondary roadway and adjacent residential neighborhood, Leaving the existing driveways on North Federal Highway lessens this potential traffic problem, It should be noted that granting a variance for the southernmost driveway distance would also cover the distance variance requested for the northern driveway. Staff Report Driveway variances ZNCV 03-010, 03-011 and 03-012 Memorandum No PZ-04-225 Page 5 In keeping with the City's Land Development Regulations, the applicant's response to the above criteria is included within Exhibit "c" Statement of Special Conditions justifying the requested variance, In summary, granting this variance may be supported for the following reasons: a, A special condition exists which is peculiar to the subject property; b, The literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties similarly zoned; c, The variance requested represents the minimum variance needed to utilize the property for access (the existing driveways are located along the western extent of the property); and d, That the granting of the variance would be in harmony with the general intent of the regulation to promote safe and adequate traffic circulation. RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis contained herein, Staff recommends that the requested variances be approved, No conditions of approval are recommended; however, any conditions of approval added by the Community Redevelopment Agency Board or the City Commission will be placed in the Exhibit "D" - Conditions of Approval, MWRjelj S:IPlanningISHAREDlWPIPROJECTSIGaleway Shell Ika TexacolNew ShelllVariances (revised 2004)103-010 10 03-012 DrivewaylStaff Report ZNCV 03-010 to 03-012 Driveway Variances,doc Location Map , Gateway Shell EXHIBIT "A" ./ I >' ~ ' ---.L::::J '~ I I 1- Q ~ , ~ ' ' (j) I c, ..... 1i I i--- SITE ~ ! . - I _I J " l,;;:S l.

II Supplemental Requlations L.3.d.(1), (3), (4), Driveways .. (1) No driveway shall be located less than One Hundred Ten (110') feet from the intersecting right-of-way lines of public streets. (3) Driveways shall be located less than thirty (30) feet from any interior property line. (4) Driveways will be limited to one per street frontage. (1 ) Request a variance from this section of the code as the site has only 140 LF of frontage along N. Federal Highway and 123 LF of frontage on Las Palmas. Therefore it would be impossible for any driveways to be 110' to meet this current code, (3) Due to the fact that this is an existing Gas Station and is only being upgraded for looks, the driveways must stay in their current locations because the traffic patterns have already been set and cannot be changed. Gasoline Tankers must be able to enter and leave the premises from the existing driveways. (4) Due to the Gasoline Tankers entering and leaving and the location of the fillers for the tanks, these driveways must remain in their current locations. L.3.e. (3), Rear Setbacks Rear Setbacks are required to be 20' and we are proposing only a 10' rear setback. L.3.e.(a). No Canopy shall be located less than 20' from the property line The Canopy is 9.5 feet from the front (west) property line. We are requesting a 10.5 foot variance to allow a 9,5 foot front setback for the existing canopy. L.3.e. (b). No gasoline pump island shall be located less than 30' from any property line. The existing gasoline pump island is 19.8 feet from the front (west) property line. The required front gasoline pump island setback is 30 feet so we are requesting a variance of 10.2 feet from the front property line to allow the 19,8 foot gasoline pump island setback.

(1) BUFFERS A 10' wide landscape buffer shall be located along the street frontage, This buffer shall contain one tree 10' to 15' in height with a minimum 3" caliper every 30', a continuous hedge 24" high, 24" ole at time of planting with flowering ground cover. We do not have a landscape buffer along the westerly street frontage (N. Federal Hwy.) so we are requesting a variance of 10 feet from the required 10 foot landscape buffer. The Landscape buffer we are proposing along the south street frontage (Las Palmas) is only 5 feet with a requirement of 10 feet. We are therefore requesting a variance of 5 feet for the 10 foot landscape buffer. We are requesting from the Engineering Department to be allowed to landscape the area between property line and the street, L.4.b Buffers (Interior Property Lines) (a) A 5' wide landscaped buffer shall be located on all interior property lines. When the buffer separates the property from other commercial property, the buffer shall not be required to contain a concrete wall. Landscaping shall be continuously maintained, BOY~~~~~'~~:<& ~.
