3 Page 3 P R O JECT ANALYSIS Project Description The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for the development of a intensive retailing use in the AC-1 zoning district, on the 7-Eleven site. Per the CUP application, the applicant states: The UPS Access Point lockers are an extension of the UPS Access Point network that increases convenience and control for our consumers. The lockers are between 14 and 19 feet long and 7-8 feet tall. These units have an awning with bright LED lighting and 2 security cameras, as well as a pinhole camera to communicate with UPS Customer Service if the need arises. The UPS Access Point lockers are equipped with a touchscreen, a barcode scanner, an ID reader, and an ADA keypad with headphone jack. The subject site is located at 4533 Silver Star Rd. (south of Seaboard Rd., east of Dardanelle Dr., north of Silver Star Rd., and west of Mercy Dr. The site consists of ±1.05 acre of 7-Eleven commercial land. The site is zoned AC-1/W (Community Activity Center in the Wekiva Overlay Districts) with a consistent future land use designation of COMM-AC (Community Activity Center). Previous Actions: 1986: Property acquired by current owner (7-Eleven Inc) 1987: Property originally platted as part of the Southland Corporation Subdivision TWO 1986: 4,097sq. ft. building constructed on site 1999: Conditional Use Permit approval to construct a billboard (CUP ) Conformance with the GMP and Zoning The property is in the Community Activity Center future land use designation, with AC-1/W (Community Activity Center, Wekiva Overlay) zoning. There is no minimum lot size requirement under the AC-1 zoning; development standards are provided in Table 2 on page 3. The property is in the Wekiva (W) Overlay, which is intended to promote a pattern of development that preserves open space and protects the most effective recharge areas, karst features and sensitive natural habitats within the Wekiva Study Area, while recognizing property rights and accommodating both rural and urban land use patterns. The proposed use is consistent with the GMP and LDC and is consistent with the AC-1/W zoning district. Existing Zoning and Future Land Use The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit and Master Plan of the site for proposed intensive retailing, UPS Access Point lockers, on the site. The AC-1/W zoning district requires a front yard setback of 0 ft., a side yard setback of 0-3 ft., a rear yard setback of 20 ft., and a street side yard setback of 0 ft. from the property line.

The front half of this setback may not be used for signs and vehicular use areas except when the office or residential district street side yard allows a vehicular use area to be located closer to the property line.

4 Page 4 P R O JECT ANALYSIS Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent and all other requirements of the Land Development Code. Growth Management Plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with all applicable policies of the City s adopted Growth Management Plan. Compatibility. The compatibility of the proposal with surrounding land uses and the general character of the area including such factors as height, bulk, scale, intensity, traffic, noise, drainage, dust lighting, and appearance. Public Facilities and Services. Whether necessary public facilities (both on-site and off-site), such as transportation, sanitation, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, and recreation, will be adequate to serve the proposed use. Residential Displacement. The Municipal Planning Board and the City Council must consider the extent to which the proposed use, location, and building site design would displace existing residential uses on the site or would encourage displacement of residential uses adjacent to the site. They must also consider alternative uses, location, and site designs that could minimize residential displacement. Other Matters. Any other lawful matter that the Municipal Planning Board deems appropriate and relevant to the specific proposal. 62. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the request is to allow a intensive retail use, which requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the AC-1 zoning district. The AC-1 zoning district is intended to provide for concentrated areas of community-serving commercial, office, residential, recreational and cultural facilities, at higher intensities than in surrounding neighborhoods. Although some Community Activity Centers may be composed of a single type of use, a mixture of land uses is specifically encouraged. These activity centers are intended for locations where a combination of arterials and four lane collectors and mass transit service are available, providing access to other activity centers and surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed locker use will allow a UPS package to be delivered to a locker either by the consumer or UPS. If UPS is not able to deliver a package to a residence and it is close ot a UPS Access Point locker, the package will be delivered to the locker later that day or the next day. The consumer is also able to direct a package to a UPS Access Point locker through UPS My Choice, which allows control over incoming deliveries. (Per the Applicant s Project Description) Compatibility. The property is abutted by commercial uses to the north, west, and east with residential use to the south (across Silver Star Rd.). Public Facilities and Service. Public facilities and services are existing on the site from the existing 7-Eleven use. Any on-site lighting for the proposed UPS Access Point locker (intensive retailing) use must conform to the City of Orlando Light Code. Residential Displacement. No residential uses will be displaced via the proposed addition to the existing 7-Eleven commercial site. Additional Analysis. All building and site improvements must be per mitted prior to construction, and the parent site must meet all applicable City Codes with regard to setbacks, size, height per applicable AC-1/AN/SP development standards. Parking. Parking for the existing automotive service use is 12 (2 per each bay) per LDC Section , Figure 27, as shown in Table 3 to the right. The existing parking area is asphalt and will remain as is. The UPS Access Point lockers will not remove existing parking spaces. The lockers do not yield a need for additional parking due to the short term nature of the transaction and the size of the structure. Traffic. Vehicular access to the site is from two cross access points on Dardanelle Dr. (to the west) and Silver Star Rd. (to the south) Cross-access easements already exist between this lot and the existing lots to the east of the property. Pedestrian Access. The applicant is proposing to construct a 3 ft. sidewalk front the existing walkway to the concrete pad, where the lockers will be located. The subject site has a sidewalk connection on the north and west side. The proposed sidewalk must be 5 ft. in width to allow ADA access to the lockers from the existing sidewalk. Use Auto Services (6 service bays) Min. Required Table 3 Parking Requirements Required Spaces (Minimum/Maximum) Min. 2 spaces/1 service bay Max. None 12 spaces Existing 16 spaces (1 handicap spaces provided) * *The UPS Access Point lockers do not require an additional parking space due to the minimum impact of traffic volume. Signage. Per LDC Section , sign area for the site is based on linear square frontage facing Silver Star Rd. and Dardanelle Dr., which includes ground, wall, window, or other signs visible from the public R-O-W. All new signage will require permits prior to sign fabrication and placement. Banners, streamers and

5 Page 5 P R O JECT ANALYSIS wind-operated advertising devises are prohibited. Digital signs are also prohibited. The applicant must acquire an allocation of signage area from the property owner and provide at time of permitting. School Impact Not applicable, the use will be non-residential commercial use. Additional Analysis The proposed lockers are consider an intensive retail use due to the nature of the transaction which takes place for a product and the massing of the system being installed. The existing property is within 300 ft. of unincorporated orange county residential to the south of the subject site (across Silver Star Rd.) The use is considered compatible with the existing character of the neighborhood due to the Industrial uses to the east and north of the south, the commercial uses to the west, and existing buffer between the single family residential to the south.
