Planning and Zomng Director Hitt presented the request located at 189 N. US Highway 27 This site had
an established gas station and convenience store that closed gas operations over a year ago and the
convenience store portion m March 2011 There is an existing front setback vanance of 17 feet for the
existing canopy_ that can remain in place, provided the setback is not decreased. The proposed plan
maintains this setback for the canopy. The proposed plan calls for a redevelopment of the entire site,
except for the canopy and pump locations. The new 2,520 square foot building, parking, and signage will
meet Code, and includes underground retention. A 20 -foot landscape buffer is required on both US 27 and
Citrus Tower Blvd and there are two vanances that are being applied for the site due to its constrained
size
The requested vanances are to allow for perimeter landscape buffer along each nght -of -way frontage to
be less than 20 feet and to allow for penmeter landscape buffer along the right -of -ways not to be planted
in accordance with the Land Development Code; 3 canopy trees and 5 understory trees per 100 lineal feet
Staff recommended approval of the vanances due to the site has a preexisting canopy setback that directly
affects the vanances. The canopy setback does nde with the property, unless there is a sunset provision or
it is removed. The site redevelopment and the requested variances result in: eliminating internal site pave
in the right -of -way; establish a new perimeter- landscape buffer, plant the required number of trees on the
overall site; and construct a new building and site per Code
