body
Background:
The applicant, Casto JBCC Hwy 70 LLC, is requesting a Planned Development (PD) rezoning from Residential Single-family 3.5 (RSF-3.5) to PD. The applicant is concurrently seeking a small-scale plan amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Commercial (COM). The stated purpose of these applications is to develop a commercial center including an auto parts store, an auto service center, an oil change shop, and a commercial building with a coffee shop for general retail uses. The subject property includes 15 lots, and is located at 13343, 13377, 13385, 13393, 13401, and13405 S Access Road, 6937 Pinedale Drive, 13420, 13410, 13402, 13394, 13386, 13378, 13370, and 13362 Hopkinton Avenue, in the West County area.
The proposed PD rezoning, including a General PD Concept Plan, will allow the County to place sufficient conditions to ensure that no adverse impacts will be created by the proposed development on neighboring property owners via:
• Limiting the use of the subject property for a commercial center including an auto parts store, an auto service center, an oil change shop, and a commercial building with a coffee shop for general retail uses.
• Limiting the maximum building height and other structures to 30 feet, compared to 38 feet under the current RSF-3.5 zoning.
• Providing for a minimum type A buffer along the northern and a portion of the eastern property boundaries and within the 25-foot PD setback as shown on the General PD Concept Plan.
• Providing for a Type C buffer at least 8 feet wide; with a six-foot tall opaque fence or wall within the 25-foot PD setback and along the remaining eastern property boundary, and the southern and western property boundary as shown on the General PD Concept Plan.
It is staff’s professional option that the proposed PD rezoning is consistent with the County’s Comprehensive Plan, and it shall not create negative impacts on the surrounding residential uses.
What Action will be accomplished?
If the Board of County Commissioners approves this PD rezoning and its associated small scale plan amendment, it will only allow for a small commercial center including an auto service center up to 7,200 square feet, an oil change shop up to 1,687 square feet, an auto parts retail store up to 7,500 square feet, and a commercial building with a coffee shop for general retail uses up to 2,800 square feet.
