Analysis

 

SUMMARY:

Consider a request to approve a specific use permit and site plan to construct and operate a convenience store with gasoline sales and a single-bay automatic car wash.  The 1.99-acre property, zoned Planned Development 283 (PD-283) District, is located at 5100 Lake Ridge Parkway, is within the Lake Ridge Corridor Overlay District.

 

ADJACENT LAND USES AND ACCESS:

 

North -                                          The property directly north is an undeveloped tract that is part of the same Planned Development (PD-283) District (for General Retail uses) as the subject property.  Farther north is the High Hawk single-family detached residential subdivision that is zoned PD-51. Access to this tract will be from Lake Ridge Parkway and internal access easements from the subject and abutting general retail tracts.

 

South -                      Directly south of the subject property is Camp Wisdom Road, which is classified on the Master Transportation Plan (MTP) as six lane divided arterial (P6D).  Farther south is a vacant tract zoned PD-267 for commercial uses. 

 

East -                                          The property directly east is also an undeveloped tract that is part of the same Planned Development (PD-283) District (for General Retail uses) as the subject property.  Farther east is the High Hawk single-family detached residential subdivision that is zoned PD-51. Access to this tract will be from Camp Wisdom Road and internal access easements from the subject and abutting general retail tracts.

 

West -                                          Directly west of the subject property is Lake Ridge Parkway, which is classified on the Master Transportation Plan (MTP) as six lane divided arterial (P6D).  Farther west is CVS Pharmacy and other commercial development.  

 

 

PURPOSE OF REQUEST:                     

Victory @ Lake Ridge, LLC and CST Corner Store, the property owner and applicant, respectively, seek City Council approval of a Specific Use Permit application and a Site Plan application in order obtain authorization to develop a 1.991 acre property located at the northeast hard corner of Lake Ridge Parkway and Camp Wisdom Road. 

 

 

CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:

 

Use:

CST Corner Store seeks to construct and operate a 4,650 sq.ft. convenience store w/gasoline sales and a 1,025 sq.ft. single-bay automatic car wash. The proposal also includes the construction of a seven (7) island gas pump service area w/canopy, a dumpster enclosure, concrete parking & drive aisles, and landscape improvements.  

 

The subject property’s underlying zoning, PD-283, allows for all uses permitted in the General Retail (GR) District of the UDC.   In accordance with Article 4 of the Unified Development Code (UDC), a convenience store w/gasoline sales is permitted in the General Retail (GR) District with an approved specific use permit.  A self-service car wash is also permitted in the General Retail (GR) District with an approved specific use permit. Further, Section 16.2.1 of the Article 16 of the UDC, stipulates that site plan approval is required whenever a project is located within a Planned Development Zone District (PD-283 in this case) and/or a designated Corridor Overlay District. As such, the development must meet the minimum requirements prescribed in the UDC for the property’s underlying zoning district classification, as applicable, and adhere to the additional architectural standards specified in Appendix F: Corridor Overlay District Standards of the UDC. 

 

Lot & Dimensional Standards:

The subject property is zoned PD-283 with General Retail (GR) District standards. The following table provides detailed dimensional requirement information.  As proposed, the development meets or exceeds all minimum lot & dimensional standards.

Access and Parking:

Access to the subject property will be from two new driveway locations - one on Lake Ridge Parkway and another on Camp Wisdom Road.  As the subject property is part of larger general retail tract totaling approximately 14.4 acres, these access points and driveway are being established as mutual-access easements to ensure that there is legal access to the balance of the future general retail development and to also limit the necessity for additional access drives onto these arterial streets to each individual future development. 

 

Access to the single-bay automatic car wash is internal to the site only.  The proposal includes six (6) vehicle queuing spaces and two vacuum parking spaces.   While two (2) of the queuing spaces do block four (4) of the proposed parking spaces adjacent to the car wash, the proposal’s total parking exceeds the minimum required parking by fifteen (15) spaces.  The applicant has indicated that these spaces will be used by employees if queuing of the car wash routinely is full.

Building Elevations - Articulation and Masonry Standards:

All four facades of the convenience store are proposed to be clad in 100% masonry materials, excluding doors and windows. The applicant proposes using a veneer-wall construction utilizing a mix of integral-colored concrete simulated stone (cast stone) and thin brick.   All four facades include metal awnings, which staff considers an architectural accent feature and not a true part of the façade material calculations.  However, the percentage of metal incorporated into the facade is less than 10% on each façade and is therefore meeting the standards of the underlying zoning district. The roof will be covered with silver standing seam metal roof system. As proposed, an appeal of the minimum required roof pitch and vertical articulation on the west façade will be necessary.

 

The car wash building will also be clad in 100% masonry, excluding the automotive exit and entrance of the car wash and one personnel service door.  The building does not contain any windows. The color of this building will mirror the convenience store.    Due to the small size of the building, the city’s articulations standards do not apply. As proposed, the building does not contain the necessary 8:12 roof pitch or 36” roof eave overhang, nor the minimum amount of accent masonry required by Appendix F of the UDC which requires a minimum of 25% accent stone.  The applicant is proposing a range of 10% to 13% accent stone.  An appeal of these noted standards will be necessary.

 

The proposed canopy over the seven (7) gas-pump island will match the architectural style of the convenience store and car wash.  The support posts are proposed to be clad in the same masonry material. The proposed canopy will have a pitched 4:12 roof, which staff supports.  Staff is not supportive of the 8:12 pitch roof requirement of PD-283 for the car port and therefore has approved this deviation administratively and therefore not noted this change as an appeal.

 

The below listed standards and proposed conditions apply only to the convenience store building unless otherwise specifically noted.  Also the articulation standards of the PD-283 mirror that of Appendix F: of the UDC and therefore are only included in the review of the PD-283 standards.

Landscape and Screening:

The landscape and screening requirements of the subject site are governed by the PD-283, Article 8 (as General Retail) of the UDC, and Section 4 of Appendix F of the UDC as shown below. Screening is not proposed or required as there is no residential adjacency or proposal for outdoor storage, which are triggers for screening requirements. The landscape plan contained in the Planning and Zoning Commission packet is an out of date plan based on an earlier submission.  The landscape buffer and the majority of the landscape elements will remain unchanged.  While the following analysis is based on this outdated plan, which meets or exceeds the minimum standards, the applicant understands and has agreed to submit a revised plan that will also meet or exceed the minimum standards. Note: The revisions are necessary due to a realignment of the two access drives that from the north and east sides of the property.

The applicant is not proposing to have any outdoor storage of product or materials except for the typical 20-lb propane sale & exchange rack and an ice machine, which will both be set adjacent to the store building.  No other storage of storage or display of product is proposed or considered as part of this review. 

 

CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

The subject property is designated as appropriate for Commercial/Retail/Office on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).  The proposal is consistent with the FLUM.  Annually the City amends the FLUM to resolve conflicts between zoning and FLUM designations.

3.                     Roof Eave Overhang - the car wash does not have the required 36” roof overhang as stipulated in PD-283.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Development Review Committee recommends approval of the request.
