lots being located on the north side of East Orange Street between Hibiscus Street and North Safford Avenue. B. Subject Parcel Zoning/ Land Use Plan Designation: T4a (Residential High) / CRD (Community Redevelopment District) C. Surrounding Zoning and Existing Uses: Zoning Existing Use North: T4c Single-Family and Multi-Family Residential East: T4a Single Family Residential and Vacant South: T4a Commercial Parking Lot, Office West: T4a Institutional D. Tax Parcel ID Numbers: 12-27-15-89982-063-0406, and, 12-27-15-89982-063-0407 III. BACKGROUND The applicant is seeking conditional use approval to construct two single family residences, one on each of two vacant lots located on the north side of East Orange Street, between Hibiscus Street and North Safford Avenue. The subject property is zoned T4a (Residential High) and is located in the Downtown Character District. Pursuant to Table 4F of the Transect-Based Infill Code for the Sponge Docks and Community Redevelopment Area the proposed land use is subject to conditional use review. To ensure compliance with the desired character of the T4a district, the proposed residence will be subject to the design standards of the district including standards regarding building placement, frontage type, height, building form, parking location, lot coverage, and setbacks. IV. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Pursuant to Section 209.01, Standards for Review of Conditional Uses, of the Tarpon Springs Land Development Code (LDC), no conditional use shall be recommended for approval or receive a final action of approval unless a positive finding, based upon substantial competent evidence either presented at a public hearing held by the Board or reviewed personally by the Board members, is made on each of the following standards: 1. Conformance with the requirements of the Land Development Code. Analysis: The proposed use is subject to conditional use review in the T4a district. The proposed design of each of the two residences complies with the 2

setback and other performance standards of the T4a district. It is noted that the required side setbacks have been relaxed to accommodate driveway access onto East Orange Street since there is no rear alley available. The proposed driveway and garage configurations for these lots match the adjacent properties in that the parking itself is masked from street view, and the driveway width accommodates only one vehicle. The applicant has not submitted a landscaping plan, but has indicated that existing trees at the front of each site will be retained. A condition is proposed to require a final landscaping plan. 2. The use to which the property may be put is appropriate to the property in question and is compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. Analysis: The proposed use will be located adjacent to other like uses and will be built consistent with the performance standards of the T4a district. It is noted this block, that contains the subject lots, forms the border between the Downtown and Uptown Character Districts. There is a transition to more residential as one moves north from this block, and a transition to more commercial and mixed uses going south from this block. The built properties in the block itself illustrate this transition. They are all built with residential uses and only one institutional use, located on the southwest corner of the block. 3. The conditional use is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of all Elements of the City Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The conditional use is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of all elements of the City Comprehensive Plan. 4. The conditional use will not result in significant adverse impacts to the environment or historical resources. Analysis: The use is located within the City s National Register and Local Historic Districts. The use was reviewed and approved by the City s Heritage Preservation Board for compliance with historic district standards on January 8, 2018 (Application Numbers 17-126 and 17-127). The use is not proposed on an environmentally sensitive site. 5. The conditional use will not adversely affect adjoining property values. Analysis: The proposed single-family residences are located adjacent to other like uses in this block and will be built in accordance with the standards of the T4a district. These standards will help ensure that the proposed conditional use will fit in with the character of the neighborhood and will not adversely affect property values. 6. The conditional use will not adversely impact nor exceed the capacity or the fiscal ability of the City to provide available public facilities, including 3

transportation, water and sewer, solid waste, drainage, recreation, education, fire protection, library service and other similar public facilities. Analysis: The single-family residences are proposed to be built on vacant residential lots located within the Community Redevelopment Area. The development will not require the extension of public services to the site, and will not adversely affect the ability of the City to provide adequate public facilities. 7. The conditional use shall provide for efficient and orderly development considering the impact upon growth patterns and the cost to the City to provide public facilities. Analysis: The proposed conditional use is located on two vacant lots that are within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on the location and the very limited scale of the proposed project, the conditional use will promote efficient and orderly development within the City and will not adversely affect growth patterns and the ability of the City to provide public facilities. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 2018-14 with the following conditions: 1. The conditional use will expire within one year of approval, if a building permit is not issued for the property. 2. A site plan submitted with the building permit application shall include a landscaping plan that demonstrates compliance with the T4a district requirements. VI. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board heard this application on July 16, 2018. There was no public opposition or comment on this application. The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of Resolution 2018-14 with one condition.
