The property is located directly west of U.S. Highway 75 and north of Village Way. The properties to the north and west are zoned Planned Development No. 108 (PD-108) with a base zoning of Mixed Use (MIX). The properties to the east (across U.S. Highway 75) are zoned Single-Family Residential (R-5) and Shopping Center (SC). The properties to the south are zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 (PD-54) with a base zoning of Industrial Technology (IT) and PD-54 with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial (CC).

The property is currently zoned PD-54 with a base zoning of IT. The applicant is requesting to adopt a base zoning of CC to allow commercial uses. 

The subject property is 6.162± acres. The applicant is requesting to amend the development regulations of PD-54 and to adopt a base zoning, a concept plan, and building elevations. The attached concept plan shows two platted lots. Lot 5A, which is approximately 3.658± acres, includes a proposed single-story building of approximately 40,386± square feet for a furniture/appliance sales use. The concept plan also shows a 10-foot masonry screening wall for the loading area which is required under the PD-54 ordinance.

There is a total of two access points into the development -- both through Fire Lane, Access, and Utility easements on U.S. Highway 75. The concept plan shows a proposed deceleration lane on U.S. Highway 75 to be constructed and completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy of any building on the property.

The building elevations show an approximately 40-foot-tall masonry building with textured and painted concrete panels as the primary building material. While building materials cannot be regulated by the proposed ordinance, these materials are shown for illustrative purposes.

The development regulations include the base zoning district, traffic improvements, and screening.

This request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee. The request is in general conformance with the future land use map in the adopted Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding uses.

Staff recommends approval.

I move to recommend approval of the request to amend the Development Regulations of Planned Development No. 54 with a base zoning of Industrial Technology and to adopt a Base Zoning of Corridor Commercial, Concept Plan and Building Elevations for Lots 5A and 5B, Block F, Bray Central One, as presented.
