Home My WebLink AboutPZ2021-367DATE: November 15,2021 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gasoline retailer/convenience store in an NC (Neighborhood Conmiercial) District. FILE: PZ2021-367 STAFF REPORT Charles Shajari on behalf of Saiyad Ali, is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a gasoline retailer/convenience store at 3355 Gladys Avenue. Mr. Ali plans to demolish the existing buildings and construct a new facility. The service station would be open 24 hours per day and employ five (5) or six (6) full time employees. Engineering has noted that it would be beneficial to shift the two (2) existing driveways (located between the building and the fuel canopy) to the north about fifteen (15) feet to more properly align with the driveway crossing the property, In addition, the parking along the west side of the building does not meet City requirements and should be removed from the site plan along with the southwest driveway. Ten parking spaces will, however, be required. Per the City Landscaping Ordinance, trees are required as part of the 6' wide landscaped buffer at each property line between parking and the right-of-way. 'Frees will be required along with shrubs along Longfellow Drive, but will not be allowed along Gladys Avenue or IH- 10 N., due to overhead power lines, In addition, sidewalks will be required along all three (3) right-of-ways. Properties to the west and north are residential. In order to protect these properties as much as possible from the effects of a convenience store, all lighting must be shielded. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: I Remove the southwest driveway, shift the two (2) existing driveways (located between the building and the fuel canopy) to the north about fifteen (15) feet, remove parking spaces on the west side of the building and add two parking spaces that meet City standards, 2. Sidewalks shall be installed/inaintained along all three (3) right-of-way frontages. Landscaping must meet City requirements. 4, Shield lighting from residential neighbors to the west and north. 5. Pavement between the sidewalk and back of curb must be removed and replaced with sod. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify coinpliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
