LOCATION: 649 12th Street ZONING: R-3 Residential/Professional District REQUEST: To expand a non-conforming use (the Rusty Fox). Mr. Saunders stated that the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to expand a non-conforming restaurant by adding a walk- in cooler and storage area to the rear of the existing restaurant. Mr. Saunders explained the need for a Conditional Use Permit is because the use is non-conforming as the present zoning is R-3 Residential/Professional and the use is within the 500' distance requirement for alcohol related business to a church. Mr. Saunders pointed out that portions of the parking which exists under the grandfather privilege is non-forming because space widths should be 10' instead of the 7' indicated and also because of the intrusions into the street right-of-way (south and west boundaries). Mr. Saunders also pointed out several parking spaces in the rear might be eliminated because of the expansion. Mr. Saunders stated he did not feel there would be a need for additional parking at this since there is no change in seat capacity is indicated. Mr. Saunders informed the Commission that the staff recommendation suggest that approval be granted subject to the standards conditions of a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Saunders emphasized such approval would require the applicant to conform to the existing landscaping requirements. Mr. Lou Formato, applicant, was present and stated he would be willing to do the necessary landscaping. Mr. Smith recommended that the applicant be required to conform to the landscaping code along the eastern property line of the site. After a brief discussion a motion was made to recommend to the City Council approval of the request subject to the standard conditions and additional landscaping, seconded by Bonnie Kranz and approved by a unanimous vote. 1 • REQUEST FOR CHANGE OF ZONING APPLICANT: Abed Neshiwat 722 Oak Drive Clermont, Fla. 34711 OWNER: Same r~ LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lake Highlands Subdivision, Tract 16, less R-O-W of State Rd. 50 and less that part of Tract 16 lying within the E. 25' of the SE 1/2 of the NE 1/2 Twn. 22S., Rng. 26E. and Sec. 28 ZONING: Present: R-R Rural Residential District Proposed: C-2 General Commercial District APPROXIMATE ACREAGE: 9 Acres RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Saunders pointed out that the applicant is requesting rezoning of a nine (9) acre parcel located on the northwest corner of SR 50 and Hancock Road. The parcel is presently in the County; however, a request for annexation has been filed and an ordinance introducing the request was heard by the City Council on February 13, 1990. The annexation and rezoning will not be completed until the Summit's Planned Unit Development and annexation are finalized. The applicant has not submitted any formal development plans with this request. It is assumed however, that the project will be developed with highway commercial usage. Staff feels the proposed commercial zoning will be compatible with proposed land uses in the area and therefore recommends approval of this request. Mr. Solis expressed concern regarding the possibility of the other contiguous parcels not being annexed and also of the Summit development not materializing. Mr. Saunders informed the Commission that a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development has already been submitted and the City Council will considered the Petitions for Annexation and the Conditional Use Permit request simultaneously. After a brief discussion a motion was made by Don Smith to recommend to the City Council approval of this request as presented by staff, seconded by Peter Bertonaschi. Mr. Saunders informed the Commission that there would be a workshop meeting March 20, 1990 at 7:00 p.m. to review the proposed Summit project. There being no other business the meeting was adjourned. ~~- `~ Jo n N. Sarq t, Chairman ATTEST: Jane Warren Planning Technician 2
