SPECIFIC USE PERMITS: When acting on a request for a specific use permit, the following factors should be considered:
• Compatibility with adjacent and neighboring land uses in the immediate area
• Adaptability of building structures to the proposed use
• Infrastructure requirements: roads, sidewalks, access to public streets, parking, and drainage
• Elements such as screening, open space, building heights, and compatibility of existing buildings to the proposed use
Staff has evaluated the request based on the above mentioned parameters and feels that the site is appropriate for the proposed use and is compatible with the future land uses of the adjacent properties.
FUELING STATIONS: The existing zoning on the subject property (“PD” - Planned Development Ordinance No. 2001-02-024) contains a base zoning of “BN” - Neighborhood Business District. In this district, motor vehicle fuel sales are limited to the fueling of no more than four (4) vehicles at one time, or can go up to eight (8) vehicles at one time if the pumps are located within 350 feet of the intersection of two arterial roadways as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan (Virginia Parkway and Coit Road). A specific use permit may be approved to allow motor vehicle fuel sales with facilities to fuel additional vehicles at one time for facilities which do not conduct major automotive repairs, body and fender work, or automobile painting. The applicant is proposing six (6) fueling pumps, which would allow twelve (12) vehicles to fuel at one time. Given the location at a major intersection with future commercial development surrounding the property, Staff is of the opinion that the use is appropriate for the property.
IMPACT ON EXISTING DEVELOPMENT: Staff does not anticipate that the specific use permit request would have a negative impact on adjacent developments. A concept plan for the entire tract (including the subject property) was approved by City Council on July 17, 2018.
CONFORMANCE TO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN (FLUP): The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) designates this area for commercial uses. Motor vehicle fuel sales is an allowed use in a commercial district, with approval of an SUP. The proposed specific use permit request is not in conflict with the FLUP.
