Agenda Item #: D-2 June 21, 2018 CASE: 1. Variance to Section 21-100(a);(b);(c) Off-Street Storage Requirements and Section 21-94(c) Surface Requirements. Location: Land Use: Applicant(s): Staff Contact: 9806 US Highway 59 North legally described as being 5.5 acres and being a part of Lloyd Shoppa Subdivision No 1. Commercial (C-1) Wesley Cates on behalf of Christopher A. Shoppa Celeste Menchaca, Planner LOCATION MAP:
Agenda Item #: D-1 Pg. 2 BACKGROUND: The subject property is developed as a retail farm supply and parts warehouse. Its original site was a 5.5- acre tract of land located at 8906 US Highway 59 North being part of the Lloyd Shoppa Subdivision No 1. The property is owned by Christopher A. Shoppa. Mr. Shoppa would like to add a 7,000 square foot expansion to his parts warehouse. City Code will require the expansion to be represented on a site plan. The City cannot issue any building permits, nor a Certificate of Occupancy until the new development is developed according to an approved site plan on file with the City. A site plan to expand the parts warehouse for Shoppa s Farm Supply has been submitted to the City, but has not been approved as it shows a display/inventory area for motor driven vehicles/equipment on an unpaved surface. A variance to the City Code regarding paving and screening fence requirements for display and storage areas of motor vehicles, equipment, and/or materials has been requested. The property was developed as a retail farm supply and parts warehouse in 2010. Shoppa s Farm Supply site plan established off-street parking with a temporary sales building on the property. On the 2010 site plan, there were no display or storage areas shown. In 2011, a site plan was submitted to the City for the development of the permanent sales showroom and parts warehouse. The site plan also included a future outside storage area, future shop area, and proposed warehouse for tractor and lawn mower parts. The future outside storage area shown was to be a 50 x40 area on a pad site. No other display or storage areas were shown on the site plan. In 2012, a site plan was submitted to the City expanding the main existing main building to include a mechanic shop, the current location of the covered outdoors sales area, covered wash rack, and additional parking required by the expansion. They also listed a proposed second driveway to the property. No other display or storage areas were shown on the site plan. The property was developed as shown on the site plan, except for the second driveway. In 2014, Shoppa s submitted an amended site plan to the City indicating a change in location to the second proposed driveway to the property. This was to amend only the driveway location to the approved 2012 site plan. No new display or storage areas were shown on the amended site plan. Currently, another site plan has been submitted to the City for review. The site plan shows plans to expand the parts warehouse by 7,000 square feet. Before any building permits can be obtained, an approved site plan must be on file with the City. The site plan indicates the display or storage areas of the property. At the time this property was developed, the requirements pertaining to off-street storage and display of motordriven equipment was rather stringent. The City changed its off-street storage requirements outlined in Sec. 21-100(a-c) in January of 2016. Prior to the City amending Section 21-100, the regulations stated: At the time that any building, use or structure is instituted, erected, enlarged or converted from one land use to another land use which utilizes outside space for the storage or display of motor vehicles, equipment or materials, off-street storage facilities shall be provided in accordance with these regulations. Such areas shall be provided in order that such vehicles, equipment or materials may be displayed or stored without encroaching on public right-of-way or interfering with the public use of streets, alleys, fire lanes, and sidewalks; all off-street storage facilities to be used for the storage or display of motor vehicles or other motor-driven equipment, including access aisles, driveways and maneuvering areas, shall meet the surfacing and drainage requirements in Section 21-
Agenda Item #: D-1 Pg. 3 94(c) and 21-94(f); for off-street storage facilities to be used for the storage or display of materials or non-motor-driven equipment, the surfacing requirement may be reduced or waived, provided the driveways/approaches from the right-of-way to the storage yard are paved. The reduction or waiver of any such surfacing requirements is subject to the approval of the Director of Development Services. It is unclear why the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014 site plans were approved without a more thorough review of the off-street storage and display areas on the property. The personnel that were responsible for administering the off-street storage and display requirements at that time are no longer a part of the Development Services staff. However, the off-street storage requirements were amended in 2016. Section 21-100(a-c) was amended as follows: At the time that any building, use or structure is instituted, erected, enlarged or converted from one land use to another land use which utilizes outside space for the storage or display or motor vehicles, equipment or materials, off-street storage facilities shall be provided in accordance with these regulations. Such areas shall be provided in order that such vehicles, equipment or materials may be displayed or stored without encroaching on public right-of-way or interfering with the public use of streets, alleys, fire lanes, sidewalks, or required off-street parking areas; all off-street storage facilities to be used for the display of equipment, materials, motor vehicles or other motor-driven equipment, including access aisles, driveways and maneuvering areas, shall meet the surfacing and drainage requirements in Sections 21-94(c) and 21-94(f); for off-street storage facilities to be used for the storage of equipment, materials, motor vehicles, or other motor-driven equipment, the surfacing requirements may be reduced or waived, provided that driveways/approaches from the right-of-way to the storage yard are paved, the storage areas are located behind the principal structure, the storage areas are not located within the required setbacks, and the storage areas are screened from any public right-of-way by a minimum 8-foot tall screening fence. Alternative screening materials are subject to the approval of the Director of Development Services. This change relaxed the requirement that motor driven vehicles/equipment always be located on a paved surface and instead allows motor driven equipment to be located on unpaved surfaces, provided the equipment is behind screening fences meeting certain locational requirements. The surfacing and drainage requirements referenced in this section prohibits any motor driven vehicles/equipment from being parked or stored on an unimproved surface. The current display and storage areas shown on the submitted site plan are non-compliant with the City codes since motor driven equipment is located on unpaved surfaces and are not located behind a screening fence. In order to proceed with the expansion, the site plan approval is contingent upon all regulations being complied with or a variance granted to the regulations. To meet the regulations outlined in Section 21-100, the applicant would need to pave a display area or provide an inventory area on an unpaved surface, located behind a required screening fence, or a combination of the two; or, alternatively, be granted a variance.
Agenda Item #: D-1 Pg. 4 INFRASTRUCTURE: Water: Water service is being provided by an existing 16 line located in US Highway 59 Frontage Road. Sewer: Streets: Sanitary sewer service is being provided by an existing 10 line located in US Highway 59 Frontage Road. US Highway 59 Freeway/Expressway Drainage: Drainage is in accordance with the master drainage plan of the City of Victoria. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This business has regularly expanded since it s original development in 2010. The City had mutlitple opportunities to require compliance with regulations set forth in Chapter 21. Unfortunately, those opportunties were not taken and the site has grown to be considerably out of compliance. The amendment to Section 21-100 in 2016 sets the expectation that portions of properties with roadway frontage in the community be paved. As this area is primarly used for display area, staff recommends denying the variance requesting this frontage to not be paved as the property is generally rectangular and has similar topographical features as most of the city, and, therefore, does not have special or uniquire features making this requlation unfeasible. However, staff does support a variance to the screening fence standards required of any offstreet storage yards finding that the unique business of tractor sales does require visibility of the off-street goods stored. Additionally, approving a limited variance would not be out of character with the industrial nature of the Highway 59 corridor. In summary, staff recommends a partial approval of the variance requested. Staff recommends that any display areas located in the front 25-foot setback be paved, but a variance be granted for required screening fences in any inventory/storage yard areas located behind the 25-foot setback. Attachments: 1) Variance Application 2) Variance Request Letter with Supporting Documents 3) Approved Site Plans (2010, 2011, 2012, 2014) 4) Submitted Site Plan for Parts Warehouse Addition

Agenda Item #: D-3 June 21, 2018 CASE: Subdivision & Development Ordinance Revisions Amendments to Chapters 21 and 5, by adding Division 3 to Article III of Chapter 21 and amending other portions of Chapter 21, portions of Article XIII of Chapter 5, as well as portions of Chapter 12 of the City of Victoria Code of Ordinances. Staff Contact: Julie Fulgham, AICP, Director of Development Services PROPOSED REVISIONS: Design Districts. This proposed ordinance revision includes amending Chapter 21 to adopt a new article for the purpose of creating Design Districts. This amendment is aimed to raise the quality of development within specific designated areas. The proposed article not only allows for the creation of Design Districts, but also would establish a Design District for the area around the new Placido Benavides Drive. With the planned construction of Placido Benavides Drive, connecting Navarro and Zac Lentz Parkway/Loop 463, hundreds of acres will be more readily available for development due to this planned primary arterial roadway. The design for Placido Benavides Drive includes a boulevard design constructed out of concrete with an 8-foot hike and bike trail as well as enhanced lighting. Additionally, underground utilities are planned. The significant investment in the Placido Benavides Drive corridor is proposed to be carried throughout the area by setting higher development standards. These proposed development standards would match the high level of roadway corridor design throughout the large undeveloped areas fronting Placido Benavides Drive. This area is a blank canvas and staff believes by setting higher standards, this blank canvas could become a premier area of Victoria. The proposed ordinance creates design districts and sets standards for underground utilities, requires all off-street storage and display to meet the pavement standards in Section 21-94 (without allowing exceptions), prohibits manufactured homes, and does not grant landscaping credits for any landscaping provided in the public right-of-way. The proposed ordinance also sets sign standards within any designated design district. Lastly, designating design districts are an important part of the City s Right-of-Way Management Ordinance, which is part of Chapter 20 of the City of Victoria Code of Ordinances. By designating areas as design districts, the City can better regulate wireless facilities (defined by the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 284, as micro network nodes, network nodes, node support poles and sometimes referred to as small cells), as allowed by recent state legislation that went into effect last September. Staff recommends approving these amendments to City Code finding the creation of design districts is supported by the Strategic Action Priorities outlined in the Plan 2035, Victoria s Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the Strategic Action Priorities are: Measures to promote quality development in Victoria; and Community image/appearance initiatives in conjunction with expanded tourism promotion.
