2 I. EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS: County Attorney Denise Lyn polled the PDC members on whether they had any ex parte communications concerning the applications to be heard. All PDC members said they had no ex parte communications. Mr. Garvin had a site visit. J. APPLICATIONS 1. LAND USE APPLICATION a. CU RKM Development, LLC for Nordlaw Properties Ltd. REQUEST: This request is for a Conditional Use to allow for a convenience store with gas pumps in the Professional Services/Office District, pursuant to Section 2409, Professional Services/Office District (PSO), as specified in the LDC. LOCATION: Section 24, Township 20 South, Range 17 East; more specifically, Lots 8-17, Block I, Plat Book 2, Page 123, US 19 No. 3 Addition, multiple addresses off of S. Suncoast Blvd., Homosassa, FL. STAFF CONTACT: Joe Hochadel, Planner; Land Development Division INTRODUCTION: Ms. Pace s overview included an aerial view of the subject property, photos of the subject property and the surrounding area, and the site plan. This request is to allow for a gas station with convenience store and car wash in the Professional Services/Office District. APPLICANT: Jaime Girardi spoke on behalf of the applicant and said the submittal is for a conditional use to allow for a gas station with convenience store on the sixacre parcel north of the Walgreens and Publix shopping center, which is located on the northeast corner of US-19 and US-98. The site plan depicts what is being proposed. He said that the applicant is present to answer questions as well. Ms. Phillips asked about the three-year term outlined in Findings of Fact Number Four regarding termination and/or expiration of conditional uses. Mr. Girardi confirmed the applicant will not need an extension of this requirement. STAFF: Mr. Hochadel s presentation included aerial views of the subject property, photos of the surrounding area, and the site plan. This request is to establish a convenience store with gas pumps and a carwash in a Professional Services/Office (PSO) District. The site is comprised of multiple 2

3 lots on 6.1 acres, although the project site is just over one acre. The site is located adjacent to the Sugarmill Woods shopping center, and there is a gas station located across US-19. The applicant is proposing a 16-pump gas station, a 3,260 square-foot convenience store, and a 780 square-foot car wash. The site plan that was submitted meets the landscaping, setback, and impervious surface ratio (ISR) requirements. The applicant has not requested any deviations. There is a section in the Land Development Code (LDC) that requires service stations abutting residential property to construct a wall between the two land uses. This is not shown on the site plan because the applicant intends to plat the property into three separate parcels, which will place one of the parcels between the service station and the residential properties. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding area, as long as the development standards are met. The Findings of Fact have all been found to be positive findings. Mr. Hochadel read the suggested conditions. Mr. Brooks asked about stormwater. Mr. Hochadel pointed out the stormwater retention area on the site plan, and he noted Engineering s comment regarding a shared drainage agreement being required at time of permitting. PROPONENT: None OPPONENT: None COMMISSION COMMENTS: Mr. Garvin commented that he hoped this would improve the situation where vehicles are crossing three lanes of traffic to get to the gas station on the other side of the road. MOTION: 1 st Mr. Garvin 2 nd Ms. Phillips MOTION: The finds application number CU CONSISTENT with the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan and the Citrus County Land Development Code and that Board APPROVES WITH CONDITIONS the application based upon the evidence and testimony presented, and the staff report and conclusions regarding this petition. It has been determined that APPROVING the proposed Conditional Use will not adversely affect the public interest; that there is compliance with special rules governing individual conditional uses of the type involved; that the proposed development, with conditions and safeguards attached, would be generally compatible with adjacent properties and other property in the district; and that 3

4 the PDC is empowered under the section of the LDC described in the application to grant this Conditional Use. PROPOSED CONDITIONS 1.

CPA/AA/PUD Kenneth Ellingham for Philip Bomhoff, Jr. REQUEST: This request is to amend the Future Land Use Map of the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan from AGR, Agriculture District, to GNC, General Commercial District; and to amend the Land Development Code Atlas Map from AGR*, Agriculture District with mobile homes allowed, to NEC/PUD, Neighborhood Commercial District with a Planned Unit Development, for a winery, restaurant and wedding/event venue. 4

5 LOCATION: Section 18, Township 20 South, Range 19 East; more specifically, a portion of Parcel 34000; which address is known as 8123 S. Lecanto Highway, Lecanto, FL. A complete legal description is on file with the Land Development Division. STAFF CONTACT: Division Joanna L. Coutu, AICP, Director, Land Development INTRODUCTION: Ms. Pace s overview included an aerial view of the subject property, photos of the subject property and the surrounding area, and the site plan. The applicant is requesting a land use change and a PUD on approximately 9.1 acres from the Agriculture District to the Neighborhood Commercial District to allow for use as a winery, restaurant and wedding/event venue. APPLICANT: Kenneth Ellingham spoke on behalf of Phil Bomhoff and said the requested change in land use and the PUD are in response to customers suggestions to have a winery, a restaurant, and an event center. These facilities are located on a little over nine acres within an approximate 40-acre tract. Mr. Brooks asked when the two buildings on the site plan were constructed. Mr. Ellingham said it was approximately a year to a year-and-a-half ago. They were built for wine-tasting while the land was zoned agricultural. The building that will be used as a restaurant was not equipped with a full kitchen, but if this application is approved, it will be remodeled to accommodate the needs of a restaurant. Mr. Brooks asked about the conversion of the two buildings. Mr. Ellingham said the buildings were architecturally designed and built by contractors in accordance with building codes. The buildings can be converted from their original intent to the proposed use. Mr. Brender questioned whether the restaurant would be open to serve only during events. Mr. Ellingham said it is proposed to be a full-functioning restaurant. Ms. Phillips asked about the material for the driveway. Mr. Ellingham explained asphalt milling and noted that it is commonly used. By keeping the existing trees and utilizing grass parking, the environment is being taken into consideration. Mr. Brooks asked about stormwater treatment for these facilities. Mr. Ellingham said they are waiting to hear what will be needed. Due to the location being elevated and the presence of sugar sand, there has not been a standing water issue. 5

6 STAFF: Ms. Coutu s presentation included a land use map, an aerial view of the subject property, a site plan, and photos of the subject property. There are 9.1 acres being proposed to change to Neighborhood Commercial (NEC) with a PUD (GNC on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) since NEC is a subcategory of GNC on the FLUM). The subject property is a portion of a larger parcel that has an agricultural classification. Instead of using the existing gated driveway, customers will gain access from a driveway on the northern side of the site. She noted Engineering s comments in the staff report regarding the driveway. Parking is proposed to be in the grassy areas amongst the trees, which is a requested deviation. There is handicapped parking on a slab outside of the proposed restaurant. The trees on the site are proposed to be maintained. A deviation is being requested for the façade of the restaurant to keep with the rustic, agricultural farm look. All events and the wine tasting will be inside the building. There are 11 proposed conditions in the staff report. Regarding fire sprinklers, exit doors, ADA compliance, etc., these will need to be considered at time of permitting if this application is approved. Mr. Brooks asked if there could be a condition of approval based on the applicant getting permits since there are public access and food service facilities. Ms. Coutu noted that some of the proposed conditions state they need to be met at the time of permitting, and the Building Official can determine what else might be needed. Mr. Brooks asked about stormwater. Ms. Lyn said that Condition Number Seven addresses this issue. Mr. Bramblett confirmed that if this property is approved for the PUD and is later sold, a high intensity use would not be allowed. Ms. Coutu said there are limitations in a Neighborhood Commercial district, and the PUD will be in place to control its use.
