4 Page 4 P ROJECT ANALYSIS Project Description The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject parcel, from R-3B to MU-2, to make it part of the Audi South Orlando vehicle sales dealership. The property is in the Millenia neighborhood but is not part of the Millenia Development of Regional Impact (DRI). Previous Actions 1982: Property annexed into City of Orlando (City Doc. #17135). 1992: Master Plan (MPL92-179) approved for Zion s Hope religious campus (Public Benefit Use). 1995: New Master Plan (MPL95-033) approved for phased Zion s Gate religious campus and convention center. 1996: Property platted as part of Zions Gate subdivision. 1/1998: City acquired Right-of-Way for extension of Conroy Rd. east from Vineland Rd., severing the subject parcel from the main Zion s Gate () parcel to the north. 7/2013: Master Plan for Audi South Orlando vehicle dealership (larger parcel to the southwest) approved (MPL )(dealership opened 2014). 12/2016: Determination of Administrative Master Plan submitted for Audi lot addition (LDC ), subject to effective date of rezoning. Project Context The property is at the southeast corner of Vineland and Conroy Rds., west of Interstate 4. Adjacent uses, zoning and future land use designations are shown in Table 1 below. Direction Future Land Use Zoning Adjacent Uses North East (Across Conroy Rd.) Community Activity Center (COMM-AC) Mixed Use Corridor, High Intensity (MUC-HIGH) AC-1 (Community Activity Center) MU-2 (High Intensity, Mixed Use Corridor) Audi South Orlando vehicle dealership & I-4 ramps South MUC-HIGH MU-2 Audi South Orlando West T ABLE 1 - PROJECT CONTEXT (Across Vineland Rd.) Mixed Use Corridor, Medium Intensity (MUC-MED) PD (Planned Development) Bella Cortina Apartments Rezoning (LDC Section ) The Municipal Planning Board and City Council shall consider the following factors in their review of rezoning applications: 1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of the use and all other requirements of the LDC. 2. Growth Management Plan (GMP). The consistency of the proposal with all applicable policies of the City's adopted GMP. 3. Changed Conditions. Whether and the extent to which land use and development conditions have changed since the effective date of the existing zoning district for the property in question. 4. Use and District Requirements. The proposal must conform to the requirements of the zoning district(s) in which it is located and, where applicable, to the requirements of Chapter 58 for the particular use or activity under consideration. 5. Public Facilities and Services. Will necessary public facilities (both on- and off-site), such as transportation, sanitation, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, recreation, etc. be adequate to serve the proposed use. Conformance with Growth Management Plan and Zoning The property is designated Mixed Use Corridor, High Intensity on the City s Future Land Use Map but is zoned R-3B (Medium Intensity Residential Development). The rezoning to MU-2 (High Intensity, Mixed Use Corridor) would

5 Page 5 make the zoning consistent with the future land use designation. The parcel will be developed as an expansion to the Audi dealership parking area; the proposed use is permitted under the MU-2 zoning district, and will require approval of a Determination of minor amendment to the previously approved Audi South Orlando master plan (MPL ). Millenia DRI/GMP The parcel is shown to be within and subject to Future Land Use Subarea Policy S.24.2, which addresses the nature and extent of development within the Millenia Development of Regional Impact (DRI), but, in actuality, the parcel is not within the DRI on the most recent Millenia DRI Map H. As previously noted, the parcel will become additional surface parking for the Audi dealership, which is within the Millenia DRI as part of Tract N. The proposed rezoning would make the zoning consistent with the Mixed Use Corridor, High Intensity future land use classification and would be consistent with the overall GMP. The rezoning is consistent with the LDC as well. Changed Conditions The subject parcel is a remnant from when Conroy Rd. was acquired and extended eastward to the Millenia area east of I-4. The developability of the parcel is limited due to size and depth and closeness to the heavily traveled intersection. The proposed rezoning and inclusion as part of the adjacent vehicle dealership will eliminate the zoning remnant and render a legitimate use of the small parcel. Infrastructure Transportation. The proposed use will be solely accessed from within the existing Audi dealership via two (2) access points onto Vineland Rd. Parking. The Audi dealership currently has 285 parking spaces (per Orange County Property Appraiser records). There is no maximum parking for vehicle dealerships, per LDC Section Figure 27, so the addition of 57 additional spaces to the overall Audi dealership will not create any inconsistency with the Code. Urban Design. The rezoning will allow the 0.36-acre parcel to be converted to additional parking for the adjacent Audi dealership. No vertical construction is proposed. The expanded parking area will be landscaped and blended with the existing vehicle dealership to meet Code. Solid Waste. Solid waste collection is already accommodated within the existing Audi dealership. School Impacts. The proposed use will be non-residential (expansion of a vehicle sales dealership), so school concurrency and capacity policies are not applicable to the proposed rezoning.
