RECENT DENIALS IN AREA:

 

            On March 2, 2005, pursuant to 2004U -0027 SFC, the Board of Commissioners denied the petitioner’s request for a Use Permit to expand an existing 6,000 square foot place of worship to 14,001 square feet on Hillside Road, on a site zoned AG-1 (Agricultural).

 

SITE PLAN ANALYSIS:

 

Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted on October 30, 2008*, Staff offers the following considerations:

 

LAND USE AND DENSITY

 

The applicant is requesting to rezone from AG-1 (Agricultural) to C-1 (Community Business) to develop 46,300* square feet of retail on 7.1 acres at a density of 6,521.13* square feet per acre.  The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map suggests live-work neighborhood for the subject site and the corridor along both sides of Old National Highway.  The density suggested for commercial/office use in the live work neighborhood land use category is a density up to 10,000 square feet per acre.  To the west and east of the Live-Work Neighborhood corridor, the Plan Map suggests residential use at 3 to 5 units per acre.  The request is consistent with the use and density suggested by the Land Use Plan Map.

 

The applicant has worked with the community and has revised the letter of intent and the site plan to exclude gas stations and drive thru restaurants*.  Alcohol sales will also be prohibited on the site after midnight.  The applicant requests that free standing fast food restaurants be allowed with no drive thru service and that restaurant use be limited to a total of 10,300 square feet.  Staff has included these excluded uses and conditions in the Recommended Conditions. 

 

Given the current development patterns in the area for commercial land uses along the Old National Highway corridor with residential land uses further east and west of Old National Highway, Staff supports the applicant’s request and recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL. 

 

BUILDING SETBACKS

 

Pursuant to Article 4.23, Article 9.1.3 and Article 12.D.3, Section A.2., the following building setbacks are required:

 

40-foot front yard setback along Old National Highway (SR 279);

40-foot front yard setback along Camp Valley Road;

40-foot front yard setback along Dodd Road;

40-foot front yard setback along Bethsaida Road; and

10-foot side yard setback along the north property line.

 

The site plan shows compliance with the required building setbacks. 

 

LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS

 

The applicant is required to provide the following landscape strips and improvement setbacks for the development according to Article 12.D. of the Zoning Resolution (Old National Highway Overlay District):

 

15-foot wide landscape strip along all road frontages; and

10-foot wide landscape strips along the north property line and along the internal property lines.

 

The site plan indicates 15-foot wide landscape strips along Old National Highway and Bethsaida Road.  A 25-foot wide landscape strip planted to buffer standards with a privacy fence along Camp Valley Road and Dodd Road has been proposed by the applicant.  Given that there are single family residences located along Camp Valley Road and Dodd Road, Staff supports additional screening along those roadways.  Given long-term maintenance of a privacy fence constructed of wood, Staff recommends that the 6-foot high 100 percent opaque privacy fence be constructed of a durable man-made material which resembles wood, such as vinyl or other composite material in an earth tone color.  Staff recommends that the fence be interior to the landscape strip.  Staff has incorporated these standards into the attached Recommended Conditions.  The revised site plan shows the location of the landscape strip and the fence.

 

In addition, the site plan indicates the required 10-foot wide landscape strip along the north property line, which is in compliance with Article 12.D.3.A. of the Zoning Resolution.  However, Staff notes that the applicant is requesting concurrent variances for the common property lines internal to the main retail center as follows:

 

Part 1: To delete the required 10-foot landscape strip along both sides of the common property line internal to the southern part of the retail center (Article 12D.3.A.2).

 

Part 2:  To delete the required 10-foot landscape strip along both sides of the common property line internal to the northern part of the retail center (Article 12D.3.A.2).

 

Staff notes that the proposed development, with its shared exits/entrances and parking, functions as a unified commercial retail center.  Staff believes that a hardship does exist on the site and that the request meets the standards for variance considerations as outlined in Article 22.3.1. of the Zoning Resolution.  Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL.

 

The applicant originally requested a concurrent variance for the landscape strip around the detention pond as follows:

 

Part 4: To delete the required 20-foot wide landscape strip planted to buffer standards around the proposed detention pond (Article 34.5.4.)

 

Staff notes that the buffer around the perimeter of the pond cannot overlap the required perimeter landscaping.  The civil engineer for the project has stated that there is enough room to comply with all landscaping requirements and has said that at the time of application for a land disturbance permit the site plan will show compliance.  Therefore, the applicant is requesting withdrawal of the request and Staff recommends WITHDRAWAL of Part 4 of the concurrent variance request.

 

PARKING

 

Article 18 of the Zoning Resolution requires 5 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of retail use, 10 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of restaurant use, and 3 spaces for every 1,000 square feet of office use.  The requested uses are as follows:

Based on the proposed use, a total of 277 parking spaces are required.  The site plan shows compliance with the requirement since a total of 301 parking spaces are provided.

 

ENVIRONMENT

 

A field survey of the site was conducted by County Staff to verify areas addressed in the ESA report. Compliance with County erosion control guidelines would mitigate developmental impacts. According to the applicant’s Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Site Plan and County GIS, the site does not contain streams, wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, historical sites or sensitive plants and animal species.

CONCURRENT VARIANCE

 

The applicant has requested an additional concurrent variance as follows:

 

Part 3: To allow an accessory site feature (a dumpster) to be located in the front yard (Article 12D.3.B.2.).

 

The revised site plan indicates an enclosed dumpster located within the front yards of Camp Valley and Dodd Road frontage.  Given the shape and configuration of the subject site and the amount of road frontage, Staff believes that a hardship exists on the site and that the request meets the standards for variance considerations as outlined in Article 22.3.1. of the Zoning Resolution.  Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL.

 

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

 

Staff notes that the Traffic Engineer has recommended that access be restricted to Old National Highway.  As the subject site is located within the Old National Highway Overlay District, Staff notes the applicant will be required to comply with those standards prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit.

 

The applicant is requesting a building height limit of 2-stories, except a 1-story height limit is requested for the two (2) out parcels as shown on the site plan referenced in condition 2.a.  Staff is of the opinion that the request is compatible with the area and has included the height limitation in the Recommended Conditions.

 

 

FINDINGS:

 

(Article 28.4.1) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application, investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors A. through G., below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant.

 

A.        WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL WILL PERMIT A USE THAT IS SUITABLE IN VIEW OF THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADJACENT AND NEARBY PROPERTY.

 

FINDING:      The proposed retail development, if developed with Staff’s        Recommended Conditions, is a suitable use given the existing and anticipated commercial uses along Old National Highway.

 

B.        Whether the zoning proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property.

 

FINDING:      In Staff’s opinion, the retail development would not have an adverse effect on the use or usability of adjacent properties, if developed with Staff's Recommended Conditions. 

 

C.        WHETHER THE PROPERTY TO BE AFFECTED BY THE ZONING PROPOSAL HAS A REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AS CURRENTLY ZONED.

 

FINDING:      The subject site may have a reasonable use as currently zoned.

 

D.        WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL WILL RESULT IN A USE WHICH WILL OR COULD CAUSE AN EXCESSIVE BURDENSOME USE OF EXISTING STREETS, TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, UTILITIES, OR SCHOOLS.

 

FINDING:      Staff does not anticipate an impact on public services and facilities.  Some impact on the surrounding transportation system is expected but should be mitigated with compliance to the attached Recommended Conditions for project improvements. 

 

E.        WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE POLICIES AND INTENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN.

 

FINDING:      The proposed retail development is consistent with the Live-Work Neighborhood designation suggested on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, and if developed in accordance with Staff’s Recommended Conditions, would be consistent with the policies and intent of the Plan and current development patterns in the area.

 

LAND USE PLAN MAP: Live-Work Neighborhood

 

Proposed use/density: Retail/ 6,521.13 square feet per acre*

 

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map suggests Live-Work Neighborhood along both sides of the Old National Highway corridor. To the east and west of the corridor, the Plan map suggests Residential 3 to 5 units per acre.

 

PLAN POLICIES:

 

Encourage development in areas where basic public facilities exist or are being improved, and discourage development in areas which would require inefficient or uneconomical extension of public facilities.

 

Direct future non-residential development to highway interchanges and intersections of major roads in a pattern of mixed-use, activity nodes.

 

Provide for the protection, preservation, and maintenance of existing neighborhoods and residential areas, through County programs, regulations, and enforcement mechanisms.

 

F.         WHETHER THERE ARE OTHER EXISTING OR CHANGING CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY WHICH GIVE SUPPORTING GROUNDS FOR EITHER APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF THE ZONING PROPOSAL.

 

FINDING:      In Staff’s opinion, the existing commercial development north and south of the subject site support this request for retail use.

 

G.        WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL WILL PERMIT A USE WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED ENVIRONMENTALLY ADVERSE TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES, ENVIRONMENT AND CITIZENS OF FULTON COUNTY.

 

FINDING:      Staff is of the opinion that if developed in accordance with the attached Recommended Conditions, this proposal would not adversely affect the natural resources, environment and citizens of Fulton County.

CONCLUSION:

 

Provided Staff's Recommended Conditions are incorporated into the development of the site, the proposed retail use is consistent with the policies and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and with recent commercial development in the area.  Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of the petition and Parts 1, 2 & 3 of the concurrent variance.  Staff recommends WITHDRAWAL of Part 4 of the concurrent variance.

 

COMMUNITY ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION

 

On March 18, 2008 the Community Zoning Board recommended that the petition and concurrent variance request be HELD UP TO 60 DAYS per the applicant’s request.  The petitioner requested more time to work with the community and requested that the petition and concurrent variance request be HELD UP TO 60 DAYS.  Staff supported the applicant’s request for a deferral.

 

On May 14, 2008, the applicant requested a deferral up to 60 days to allow more time to work with the community.  At the meeting held on May 20, 2008, the Community Zoning Board recommended that the petition be HELD FOR 60 DAYS.   At the meeting opposition was present.  The Community Zoning Board recommended that the petitioner show the


community their revised proposal in 30 days and then come back before the Community Zoning Board in 60 days.

 

On July 15, 2008, the petition was HELD UP TO 120 DAYS by the Community Zoning Board per the applicant’s request.  Subsequently, the applicant continued to meet with the community and submitted a revised letter of intent and site plan on October 30, 2008.  The applicant requested that the petition be heard at the November 18th Community Zoning Board meeting.

 

On November 18, 2008, at the Community Zoning Board hearing a representative for the applicant stated that they were working on an agreement with community, but an agreement had not been finalized.  Several community leaders spoke in support of the petition, while a few neighbors spoke in opposition.  At the time of print, the applicant had scheduled another meeting with the community for Tuesday, November 24th.  The Community Zoning Board recommended that the petition be APPROVED CONDITIONAL and Parts 1, 2 & 3 of the concurrent variance and that Part 4 of the concurrent variance be WITHDRAWN.
