FILE NO.: Z-8849 knowing the entirety of the development the required buffers could not be computed. Staff stated in addition the Parks Department could not provide a full review of the proposed development. Staff requested the proposed signage plan including building signage and ground signage. Staff stated if signage would be placed on the eastern facade of the canopy the PCD would need to address the issues since the facade was 'located without public street frontage. Staff questioned if the store would operate 24-hous per day. Staff also questioned if there would be an independent restaurant located within the building. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated dedication of right of way to 45-feet from center line would be required on Rodney Parham Road. Staff also stated dedication on Breckenridge would be required to 30-feet from centerline. Staff stated a radial dedication would be required at the intersection of the two streets. Staff stated stormwater detention would apply to the proposed development. Staff stated a variance would be required to allow the drives on both Rodney Parham and Breckenridge nearer the property line than typically allowed by City ordinance.

FffRU*k1U9_JWA1-*1-*_Z.K The site contains 3.52 acres and is zoned C-3, General Commercial District and R-2, Single-family. The proposal is to allow the construction of a convenience store with fuel pumps on the property. The site plan indicates the placement of 25 parking spaces. The maximum building height is proposed at 22-feet. The plan indicates the building will contain 4,958 square feet. There are eight fuel islands for a total of 16 pumps identified on the site plan. A note on the plan indicates all site lighting will be low level and directional, directed downward and into the site. The site plan indicates a pole sign located at the intersection of Breckenridge and Rodney Parham Road. The sign is indicated with a maximum height of 30-feet and a maximum sign area of 131 square feet. The canopy includes signage on the north, east and west facades. The signage on the north fagade is proposed 25.12 square feet or 3.80 percent. The signage on the east and west facades is indicated at 25.12 square feet of sign area or 34.7 percent. Building signage is allowed on the front/north facade and the western fagade. The sign area on the front fagade/north facade is 39 square feet and on the west fagade is 25.12 square feet. The signage proposed is consistent with signage allowed in commercial zones with the exception of the signage on the east fagade of the canopy which does not have public street frontage. The site plan proposes maintaining an existing vegetated buffer along the southern portion of the site where adjacent to the single-family homes. The site plan indicates the limits of the clearing, the detention pond, the floodway easement and the 25-foot access easement adjacent to the floodway. The floodway easement is a minimum of 50-feet in width. Within the area to be maintained as an undisturbed buffer a note on the plan indicates the number of trees to be preserved. There are 19 trees 10" — 12", 21 trees 1 Y-18", 9 trees 19"-24" and 7 trees greater than 25-inches. The plan indicates shrubs will be installed per the requirements of the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances. The plan indicates the placement of a street buffer along Rodney Parham Road ranging from 10-feet in front of the convenience store to over 50-feet adjacent to the part of the site not being developed. The street buffer on Breckenridge Drive is 25-feet. The street buffer required on Rodney Parham Road is to average 15.75-feet and on Breckenridge Drive is to average 28.8-feet. The site plan indicates the circulation for the fuel truck. It appears the trucks will enter the site from the driveway located on Rodney Parham Road and exit onto Breckenridge Drive. The request includes a variance for the driveway located on Breckenridge Drive. The ordinance states the spacing is to be 300 feet from the Rodney Parham and Breckenridge Drive intersection and 125-feet from the property line. The drive appears to be 40-feet from the property line and 220-feet -P May 30, 2013 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: A (Cont. FILE NO.: Z-8849 from the intersection of Rodney Parham Road and Breckenridge Drive (center of the intersection to the center of the driveway). Staff is not supportive of the request. Although a portion of the property is zoned C-3, General Commercial District which would allow the development of a convenience store with gas pumps, the remainder of the property is zoned R-2, Single-family and is identified on the City's Future Land Use Plan for office. Staff feels an office development would allow for a transition between the commercial uses along Rodney Parham Road and the residential homes located to the south. Staff feels the proposed development of the site with a convenience store with gas pumps will have a significant impact on the abutting residential homes. Staff does not feel the proposed development is appropriate for this site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the request.
