III. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW On February 21, 2008, the Volusia County Council approved Resolution No. 2008-42, rezoning the subject property from R-3C (Urban Single Family Residential) to Business Planned Unit Development (PUD). The property is within the Thoroughfare Overlay Zone as denoted by the zoning classification suffix “C”. The DeLand Good Capital Group PUD (hereinafter “Good Capital PUD”) allows development of a financial institution with drive-thru service and general office or medical/dental office. The existing development agreement limits the size of individual buildings to a maximum of 5,000 square feet each, for a combined maximum building size of 10,000 square feet. The building size limitation is intended to be compatible with the scale of development allowed by the B-2 (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning classification, which is conditionally compatible with ULI future land use designation. No development activity has taken place on the property in the time since the rezoning to PUD was approved. This application for an amendment to the Good Capital PUD proposes to increase the total building square-footage allowed in the PUD to 12,500 square feet. The proposal includes a 7,500-square-foot building for use as an animal emergency hospital and a 5,000-square-foot building for general or medical/dental use, or for a financial institution without a drive-thru. The subject property is situated in a suburban residential area on the southeast corner of S.R. 44 and Kepler Road, approximately two miles travel distance west of I-4. The property is within the urban service delivery area of the City of DeLand. State Road 44 (New York Avenue) is an arterial road on the county’s thoroughfare system. At the time of the 2008 PUD approval, a single-family dwelling was located on the subject property, along with a former citrus grove. Today the property is vacant and wooded except for the cleared northwest corner.
Staff met with the applicant to discuss amending the PUD to allow for the development of a veterinary emergency and critical care animal hospital. This facility is designed to perform surgery, laboratory work, and on-site hospitalization. The facility does not have
Page 3 of 69
regular “patients” as a veterinarian office would, and does not provide boarding. This facility is intended to be open to receive small animal emergency patients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The proposed PUD major amendment application was submitted on August 6, 2018. The application was reviewed by staff from Volusia County and the City of DeLand. Comments from this review were discussed with the applicant, engineer, and developer at the staff review meeting held on October 11, 2018. The applicant was also provided with advisory development requirements that would need to be addressed on the final site plan application if the major PUD amendment is approved, including tree preservation, site access and circulation, stormwater management, traffic concurrency and mitigation, and signage. Based on staff comments, the development agreement and preliminary site plan were revised and resubmitted, and are the subject of this report.
IV. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The proposed Master Development Plan (MDP) consists of a written development agreement and a preliminary plan. The MDP, in combination with the County zoning code and land development code, will establish the regulatory framework for the development of the property, if approved. The proposal would replace the existing agreement and preliminary plan for the Good Capital PUD with a new use and site layout. The new concept proposes a total of 12,500 square feet in two buildings. Development of all site infrastructure and a 7,500-square-foot animal hospital is to be constructed in a single phase. An additional 5,000-square-foot building and associated parking may be built with the first phase, or may be built in a later phase. There is also an option to maintain the property all in one lot, or to subdivide the property into two lots, coinciding with the two buildings. The key aspects of the proposed development are described below. MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT Uses– The agreement limits the uses of the property to a veterinary hospital, veterinary office without boarding facilities, general and medical/dental offices, and financial institutions without drive-thrus. The overall building square-footage is limited to 12,500 square feet. The veterinary hospital is proposed at 7,500 square feet, and the other use may be up to 5,000 square feet. The agreement prohibits “all uses not specifically permitted,” meaning that no additional uses will be allowed beyond those listed in the agreement. The existing PUD restricted the individual building size to 5,000 square feet in keeping with B-2 zoning requirements for neighborhood convenience uses. The proposed agreement allows the animal hospital building to exceed this limitation by 2,500 square feet. The increased building size is not anticipated to create additional intensity of development due to the nature of the use. Furthermore, it is still is within the size limitations of a neighborhood shopping center, which restricts single uses to no more than 15,000 square feet.
Page 4 of 69
Minimum front yard setbacks of 50 feet are established from S.R. 44 and Kepler Road, consistent with the requirements of the Thoroughfare Overlay Zone, although the actual setbacks as shown on the preliminary plan are greater than the minimum. The actual setbacks to the existing right-of-way are over 100 feet on S.R. 44 and over 180 feet on Kepler Road. The applicant recognizes the need for roadway widening and intersection improvements and has designed the site to accommodate these future needs. The proposed setbacks are measured from a future right-of-way line in order to accommodate these improvements. Currently, the intersection improvements are proposed to include a roundabout. Approximately 50 feet of additional right-of-way along S.R. 44, 20 feet of additional right-of-way on Kepler Road, plus a corner clip at the intersection for the round-about are needed for these improvements. The proposed development is designed to meet current code requirements after the right-of-way is obtained. The agreement provides for a 35-foot height limit, which is allowed by the Thoroughfare Overlay Zone and Urban Single-Family Residential (R-3) zones nearby. Maximum lot coverage and floor area ratio are limited to 35 percent and 50 percent respectively, as permitted by standard code and comprehensive plan requirements; however, the actual proposed lot coverage and floor area ratio are considerably less, both being calculated at .06 percent. Compliance with Codes – Zoning and development requirements for the property default to county code standards unless specified in the agreement. The agreement defers to county standards regarding the number and design of access points, off-street parking and loading, signage, architectural and site design, environmental protection, water and sewer infrastructure, stormwater drainage, and fire protection. It defers to the City of DeLand’s “Emerging Gateway Overlay District” standards regarding the required 40-foot wide front-yard landscape buffer, ground signage, and sidewalks. Such deference is required by the county’s nonresidential design standards in Section 72-303 for property, “…located within one mile of a municipality which has adopted gateway/corridor standards, within an area served by a municipal utility, or within the urban portion of the designated urban growth boundary area, whichever area is greatest.” Landscape Buffers and Screening – Landscape buffer widths and plantings will comply with county and city requirements. A 40-foot wide buffer is required by the City of DeLand along both road frontages. A 30-foot wide buffer is required by the county abutting the single-family residential zones to the south and east. No building, parking, drive aisles or stormwater retention areas are permitted within these buffers. In addition to landscaping, the county code also requires a six-foot tall hedge, wall, or fence in the buffer adjacent to residential uses. The existing Good Capital PUD specifically required an eight-foot tall brick wall on the south side. The applicant is proposing to match that requirement with an eight-foot tall masonry/stucco wall. The buffers along the east and south boundaries are also marked as tree preservation areas. Architecture – The applicant has provided architectural renderings included as Exhibit “C,” of the Development Agreement as a general depiction of the architectural style. The principal building proposes a prominent corner entrance featuring windowed walls. The
Page 5 of 69
rendering indicates differentiated colors and textures being used, and varying roof and wall planes. Both buildings are required to look substantially similar, and are required to comply with the county’s nonresidential design standards. Parking Location – Paragraph E.9, Nonresidential Development Design Standards, proposes a modification to the zoning requirement regarding the location of parking for buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet. Pursuant to section 72-303(g)(9) of the zoning code, no more than 50 percent of the required off-street parking may be located between the front façade of the establishment and the abutting street. The agreement proposes that the parking be located in front of the buildings in order to shift it away from the abutting residential uses on the south side. Further, the agreement permits a maximum of three spaces to encroach into the front landscape buffer in the area adjacent to the future right-of-way corner clip. Staff supports this parking location because the corner clip right-of-way consumes a significant portion of the lot, and because it encourages the parking to be shifted away from the adjacent homes. Illumination – Site illumination requirements are included in the agreement in Paragraph E.12. Illumination standards require all lighting to be shielded and directed downward, to be dimmed 50 percent from 11 p.m. to sunrise unless needed to maintain security lighting, and for all fixtures to be decorative in appearance to compliment the architectural style of the building. Light poles shall not exceed 20 feet in height. Access and Transportation Improvements – Improvements for site access and transportation are described in the agreement under Paragraph I, and they are also depicted on the preliminary plan. The additional right-of-way needed for roadway widening and intersection improvements at S.R. 44 and Kepler Road is shown on the plans. A total of 70 feet of right-of-way from the center line will be needed for future improvements. Additional right-of-way may be required for public safety and convenience, or to assure adequate access, circulation, and to provide turn lanes on public roads. The site will be limited to one access point each on Kepler Road and S.R. 44. Because the intersection improvements are not at final design, whether these access points are full access, or limited to right-in/right-out only, will be determined during the final site plan review stage, subject to the recommendation of the Volusia County Traffic Engineer and in consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation. Turn lanes will be required to be constructed by the developer, the length of which is also to be determined during final site plan review. The agreement also requires a cross-access easement to be provided to the property to the east at the time of development, pursuant to the county’s nonresidential design standards. Sidewalks shall be governed by the City of DeLand’s gateway corridor standards. Expiration – Pursuant to Paragraph M, the owner, or his successors and assigns, shall apply for final site plan approval within five years from the effective date of the PUD amendment order and resolution. If this condition is not met, the agreement expires and becomes null and void. This paragraph further provides for the zoning enforcement
Page 6 of 69
official to extend this deadline for good cause through the minor PUD amendment process. PRELIMINARY PLAN Site Layout and Parking – The preliminary plan shows the proposed conceptual site layout. Two building pads are shown indicating a 7,500-square-foot building and a 5,000-square-foot building. As can be seen on the plan, the future right-of-way needs for the intersection improvements consume a large portion of the property frontage on S.R. 44 and Kepler Roads. The future corner clip area pushes the development towards the eastern side of the property and the future S.R. 44 right-of-way pushes the building and parking area southward approximately 40 additional feet, toward the adjacent residential uses. A total of 38 standard and handicapped-accessible parking spaces are provided. A front two-way drive aisle and a rear two-way drive aisle provide access to the parking spaces. Stormwater retention is provided on the east side of the site. The plan shows a phase line around the building pad and parking area for the 5,000-square-foot building. The development agreement proposes an option to construct the site within one phase, or allow the second building and associated parking to be built in a second phase. All other infrastructure and site improvements, including the entire landscape buffer, will be built in the initial phase. The preliminary plan contains sufficient content to serve as a conceptual site plan under the site development procedures of the land development code. The preliminary plan is conceptual in nature and does not constitute Final Site Plan approval. Pursuant to the zoning code, a detailed review of the development will take place during a final site plan review process to ensure compliance with applicable sections of Chapter 72 of the county code, including but not limited to concurrency, landscaping, and tree preservation, and stormwater management. The applicant was advised during the staff review meeting that the site layout may need to be modified on the final site plan application to comply with zoning and land development requirements.
V. REVIEW CRITERIA
Although the zoning classification itself is not changing, the proposed PUD amendment will replace the approved development agreement and establish a new set of uses and development requirements. For this reason, the request has been reviewed according to the same criteria as a rezoning. Section 72-414(e) of the zoning code includes the following criteria for review of rezoning applications:
Page 7 of 69
(1) Whether it is consistent with all adopted elements of the comprehensive plan. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT The Urban Low Intensity future land use designation is described in the comprehensive plan as follows:
Urban Low Intensity (ULI) – Areas for low density residential dwelling units with a range of two-tenths (0.2) to four (4) dwelling units per acre. In reviewing rezoning requests, the specific density will depend on locational factors, particularly compatibility with adjacent uses and availability of public facilities. This residential designation is generally characterized by single-family type housing, e.g., single-family detached and attached, cluster and zero lot line. This designation will allow existing agricultural zoning and uses to continue. The ULI designation is primarily a residential designation but may also allow neighborhood convenience uses (see Shopping Center definition in Chapter 20) and individual office buildings as transitional uses that meet the Comprehensive Plan's location criteria. The commercial intensity shall be limited to no more than a 50 percent Floor Area Ratio (0.50 FAR) and in a manner to be compatible with the allowable residential density. In order to be considered compatible, the commercial development should be oriented to serve adjacent neighborhoods, reflect comparable traffic generation, similar traffic patterns, building scale, landscaping and open space and buffers. Due to the nature of some of the commercial uses, additional landscaping and visual screening shall be provided through the PUD process when adjacent to low density residential in order to preserve the character of the neighborhood. More intensive neighborhood commercial use shall be reserved to areas designated for Commercial. All requests for nonresidential uses within one-quarter (¼) mile of another jurisdiction shall require notification to that jurisdiction.
According to the Future Land Use/Zoning Consistency Matrix, the BPUD zoning classification is generally assumed compatible with the ULI future land use designation. The following Future Land Use Element policies are also generally applicable:
1.1.3.1 Future urban development requiring access or connection to public facilities shall be located within designated urban areas.
1.1.3.9 New commercial development outside of commercially designated areas on
the Future Land Use Map should be limited in scale and intensity in order to be compatible with the surrounding area. In predominantly residential areas, compatibility will be judged in relation to the type of use, landscaping, building size, setbacks, and traffic patterns.
1.3.1.11 Commercial development shall use vegetative buffers and visual screens
to minimize the negative impacts on surrounding residential uses. Existing commercial operations where adverse impacts have been documented
Page 8 of 69
shall be required to address the need for buffers or other visual screening if a change or enlargement of use is requested.
The proposed amendment appears to be consistent with the description of the ULI designation, with the exception of the size limitation for neighborhood convenience uses. The definition limits the maximum size of any one use to 5,000 square feet and the total gross leasable area to 8,500 square feet. However, the existing PUD allows up to 10,000 square feet. The proposed development is 12,500 square feet, which is 2,500 square feet larger than the existing PUD. This proposal may be more akin to a neighborhood business area. The definition for neighborhood business area allows a larger development; however, no one use can exceed 15,000 square feet. It allows convenience goods and services, and specialty stores. Regardless of which definition of shopping center is most appropriate, the size and intensity of the use is significantly less than the floor area ratio (FAR) allowed for commercial uses in the ULI designation. ULI allows a 0.5 FAR. The proposed plan anticipates developing at only 0.06 FAR. Furthermore, the proposed development includes a 7,500-square-foot building specifically for the critical care animal hospital. Given the nature of the use, it is not anticipated to be equivalent in intensity to a normal convenience use. Therefore, the additional size of the single use is inconsequential.
(2) Its impact upon the environment or natural resources. The site is not located in an environmentally sensitive area. GIS mapping data does not indicate the presence of wetlands. It is not within any flood risk zones, and is not within any environmental protection overlay zones. However, the soils and vegetation are considered moderately suitable habitat for gopher tortoises, which means additional inspections must be conducted prior to development. If gopher tortoises are found on site, the developer must comply with state and county regulations regarding permits for relocation or incidental taking. Tree protection requirements must be followed with the site development application. (3) Its impact upon the economy of any affected area. As a new commercial use, the amendment is expected to increase economic activity in the affected area. (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of division 14 of the Land Development Code [article III], its impact upon necessary governmental services such as schools, sewage disposal, potable water, drainage, fire and police protection, solid waste or transportation systems. Water and Sewer – The property lies within the DeLand utility service area. According to the City of DeLand Public Utilities Department, potable water service is currently available on the west side of Kepler Road and will be required to be extended to the site. The closest sanitary sewer connections are at Lakeview Drive/Voorhis Avenue approximately
Page 9 of 69
0.6 miles to the west, as well as Kepler Road/Beresford Avenue, approximately 0.7 miles to the south. The city does not consider sewer service to be readily available at that distance. Therefore the developer will not be required to extend it to the property at this time. However, the development will be required to connect to the sewer system, if or when the lines are extended to the property. Transportation – Based on the Traffic Engineering staff’s review of the theoretical maximum impact of the proposed PUD versus the existing PUD, a slight net increase in pm peak hour trips is anticipated with the change in use to a veterinary hospital and a bank without a drive-thru. During the final site plan review phase, mitigation will be required to address project trip impacts on adjacent roadways and intersections deemed over-capacity in the buildout year. Typically, when mitigation is required, the proportionate share monetary amount is calculated for proposed trips that impact failing roadways. The developer is then required to construct improvements equal in amount that would benefit the nearby area or make a proportionate fair share payment. Dedication of right-of-way will be considered for addressing mitigation. The development agreement and conceptual plan do not include specific details on turn lane and access details because the roadway improvements and intersection design are not yet finalized by the Florida Department of Transportation. Development will have to follow the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) traffic impact analysis guidelines during final site plan review, and final details on turn lanes and access restrictions shall be determined at that time. Please see Transportation Engineering’s comments, attached. Schools, Stormwater, Solid Waste, and Emergency Services – As a nonresidential use, the proposed PUD amendment will not affect school capacity. Sufficient room exists on the property to comply with stormwater drainage requirements pursuant to the county land development code. Fire, police, and solid waste collection services are available to the property. (5) Any changes in circumstances or conditions affecting the area. Since the Good Capital PUD was approved in 2008, the subject property has remained vacant and undeveloped, as has the vacant property on the southwest corner of the intersection. The existing single-family homes are unchanged since that time, as well. On December 7, 2017, the county council approved a rezoning application for the northwest corner of the S.R. 44/Kepler Road intersection to allow Circle K to redevelop the existing BP/Kangaroo convenience store and gas pumps. The application rezoned the property from B-2C and A-3C to PUD, to allow a new, larger convenience store with up to 20 fueling positions, and a car wash. Council approved the rezoning and the project is now completing site plan review and anticipated to begin construction in early 2019.
Page 10 of 69
(6) Any mistakes in the original classification. There are no mistakes in the property’s current zoning classification. (7) Its effect upon the use or value of the affected area. If approved, the requested PUD amendment will allow the development of a critical care animal hospital in the DeLand area. Other uses in the PUD will remain essentially unchanged. Once developed, the value of the now-vacant property is expected to increase. (8) Its impact upon the public health, welfare, safety, or morals. The proposed development will meet or exceed all code requirements. Moreover, subject to the applicant volunteering to accommodate future right-of-way needs on this plan, it will facilitate improved functionality of a critical intersection. Development of the proposed PUD will have no negative impact on the public health, welfare, safety or morals. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff finds the proposed PUD amendment application is consistent with the Volusia County comprehensive plan, zoning code and land development code. The site layout shown conceptually on the preliminary plan appears capable of meeting the on-site development requirements. Therefore, staff recommends the following: Forward the PUD amendment application, case number PUD-18-092, to county council for final action with a recommendation of approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval is based on the conceptual design as depicted on the Preliminary Plan, prepared by Zev Cohen and Associates, Inc., dated 11/18/18, referenced as Exhibit “B” of the PUD Development Agreement, and the Exterior Elevations, referenced as Exhibit “C” of the PUD Development Agreement.
2. Final design of land and structures shall be subject to modifications as required to comply with the Volusia County zoning code and land development code during the final site plan review process, including access and roadway improvements as required by the county Transportation Engineer and to meet transportation concurrency requirements.
