PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
FROM:
CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE:
Gulf Oil Service Station-
Conditional Use Application
Summary: Alan J. Ciklin, agent for the Gulf Products Division of
the BP Oil Company, is requesting conditional use approval to
allow for retail gasoline sales on a .531 acre site at the
northeast corner of Woolbright Road and South Seacrest Boulevard.
The subject parcel is zoned C-2, Neighborhood Commercial, and it
is currently occupied by an existing Gulf automotive service
station and a vacant building which was formerly occupied by a
deli. The property has a 193 foot frontage on Woolbright Road
and a 122 foot frontage on South Seacrest Boulevard. Automotive
service stations, including retail gasoline sales, are permitted
subject to conditional use approval in the C-2 zoning district,
if the property has frontage on a four-lane collector or arterial
road. Currently, Seacrest Boulevard is classified as a four-lane
collector and Woolbright Road is classified as a four lane minor
arterial adjacent to the applicant's property.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning (see attached location map):
Abutting the subject parcel to the north is a duplex dwelling
zoned R-2, Single and Two-Family Dwelling District, and two
single-family dwellings zoned R-1A, Single-Family Residential.
To the northeast is a single-family dwelling zoned R-1A. To the
east is a Farm Store convenience store with a drive-thru facility
zoned C-2, Neighborhood Commercial. Abutting the subject parcel
to the south is the right-of-way for Woolbright Road. Across
Woolbright Road to the south is the City's water treatment
facility zoned PU, Public Usage. To the southwest, across the
Woolbright Road/Seacrest Boulevard intersection, is a City-owned
cemetery zoned PU. Abutting the subject parcel to the west is
the right-of-way for Seacrest Boulevard. Further to the west,
across Seacrest Boulevard, is a Seven-Eleven convenience store
zoned C-2.
Proposed Use (see attached site plan): The applicant is proposing
to raze the existing automotive service station and former deli
to construct a convenience store with retail gasoline sales.
Access would be provided to Woolbright Road by a 35 foot wide
Page 2
driveway located approximately 133 feet from the intersecting
right-of-way lines with South Seacrest Boulevard. Access would
be provided onto South Seacrest Boulevard by a 32 foot wide
driveway located approximately 101 feet from the intersecting
right-of-way lines with Woolbright Road. Both driveways are
located within 180 feet of the intersecting right-of-way lines
and require approval of a parking lot variance. The convenience
store is located in the approximate center of the parcel with two
fuel pump islands located on the west side of the convenience
store and one fuel pump island located on the east side of the
convenience store. A canopy is proposed over the convenience
store and the fuel pump islands. Three parking spaces are
provided adjacent to the east property line and one handicapped
parking space is provided on the east side of the convenience
store, consistent with the zoning regulations. The zoning code
also requires that where a commercial district abuts a
residential district, a solid, stuccoed masonry wall 6 feet in
height shall be provided. The required wall is shown on the site
plan along the north property boundary.
Standards for Evaluating Conditional Uses: Section 11.2.D of the
Zoning Regulations contains the following standards to which
conditional uses are required to conform. Following each of
these standards is the Planning Department's evaluation of the
application as to whether it would comply with the particular
standard:
The Planning and Zoning Board 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 faithful
adherence to and of fulfillment of such restrictions and
conditions including, but not limited to, the dedication of
property for streets, alleys, and recreation space, and
sidewalks, as shall be 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, 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
provision has 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.
Proposed access would be provided by a driveway onto Woolbright
Road and a driveway onto South Seacrest Boulevard. The driveway
onto Woolbright Road is 35 feet wide and the driveway onto South
Seacrest Boulevard is 32 feet wide. Both driveways lie within
180 feet of intersecting rights-of-way lines and require approval
Page 3
of a parking lot variance (see accompanying staff report and
recommendation on variance request).
2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with
particular attention to the items in subsection D.l. above, and
the economic, glare, noise, and odor effects the conditional use
would have on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a
whole.
Four parking spaces are shown on the site plan which is the
minimum required by the zoning regulations. The lighting
provided along the north property line should be directed away
from the abutting residential properties. It is not anticipated
that the proposed use would create any additional adverse
impacts.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the
items in subsection D.l and D.2 above.
The dumpster is proposed to be located in the northeast corner of
the site. The odors from the dumpster would be detectable for up
to 200 feet from the dumpster enclosure. The homes which abut
the parcel on the north side are located within 50 feet of the
proposed dumpster location. Relocating the dumpster within the
site would probably not significantly remedy this situation, as
the dumpster would still fall within 200 feet of the residences
to the north, considering the shallow depth of the parcel. In
addition, placing the dumpster adjacent to Woolbright Road or
South Seacrest Boulevard would be objectionable from an aesthetic
standpoint. Concerning serviceability of the dumpster, the
Acting Public Works Director has indicated that this would be a
suitable location for the dumpster.
4. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and
compatibility.
The site is served with water and sewer lines which are adequate
to serve the proposed use.
5. Screening, buffering, and landscaping with reference to type,
dimensions and character.
The proposed landscaping and buffering meets or exceeds the
requirements of the landscape and zoning regulations,
respectively. However, it is recommended that additional canopy
trees be provided along the north property line to adequately
buffer the adjacent residences.
6. Signs and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to
glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and
harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
The proposed signs and site lighting generally meets the
requirements of the sign and parking lot regulations
Page 4
respectively. There are, however, some comments from staff which
address minor aspects of proposed signs and site lighting (see
attached) .
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
The proposed building setbacks meet or exceed the
requirements of the C-2 zoning regulations.
8. General compatibility with adjacent properties, and other
properties in the zoning district.
Currently, the site is occupied by an automotive service station
and a former delicatessen. It is not anticipated that the
continuation of retail gasoline sales at this location would
adversely impact surrounding land uses. On the contrary, the
improvements to the site, including landscaping, and the
elimination of automotive repair work may have a positive
influence on surrounding properties.
9. Height of buildings and structures, with reference to
compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties,
and the City as a whole.
The proposed building is a one-story structure which is
compatible with surrounding land uses. The height to the top of
the canopy is eighteen and one-half feet.
10. Economic effects on adjacent properties and the City as a
whole.
It is not anticipated that continuation of retail gasoline sales
on this site would adversely impact property values in the
surrounding neighborhood.
Comprehensive Plan Policies
The following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to this
Conditional Use application:
"Provide a suitable living environment in all neighborhoods."
(p.6)
"Provide a range of land use types to accomodate a full range
of services and activities." (p. 7)
"Eliminate existing and potential land use conflicts." (p. 7)
"Encourage the development of complementary land uses."
(p.7)
"Encourage the development of commercial land uses where
accessibility is greatest and where impacts to residential
uses are minimized." (p.7)
Page 5
Conclusions/Recommendation:
The proposed use and development of the property would constitute
a continuation of the existing uses, with the exception of
automotive repair, and would improve the appearance and
aesthetics of these properties. Therefore, the Planning
Department recommends that this Conditional Use application be
approved subject to the attached staff comments.

Planning and Zoning Board
RE:
Gulf Service Station Conditional Use - Staff Comments
With respect to the above, please be advised of the following:
1. Right-of-way dedication for Woolbright Road shown on site
plan to be dedicated to Palm Beach County within 45 days of
site plan approval.
2. No attempt has been made on the engineering plans to obtain
pretreatment of stormwater runoff from paved parking areas
(excluding the canopy area). The City's parking lot
regulations require that inlet structures be placed in grassy
swale locations to obtain pretreatment of storm water runoff
prior to entering inlet structures (see section entitled
"Drainage" in Parking Lot Specifications). This requirement
is supported by comprehensive plan policies. In addition,
this site is located within close proximity to the City's
wellfield. Based on the above, it is recommended that the
engineer modify the drainage system to obtain the
pretreatment required. The system should be designed to
capture the first "flush" of stormwater runoff from the paved
parking area.
3. A note should be added to the lighting plan which states that
the parking lot lighting will be directed away from the
abutting residences.
4. An Environmental Review Permit is required for the
underground storage tanks prior to the issuance of an
Occupational License.
5. Section 11.2.E. of Appendix A, Zoning, entitled "Time
Limitation; Extension of Conditional Uses", states that the
City Commission shall establish a time limit within which a
conditional use may be developed. It is recommended that
this time limit be set at one year from the date of approval,
consistent with the time limit for site plan approvals.
