BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION * Note: The Applicant requested a public hearing continuance on September 21, 2000, because of their requested amendments to the original Variance Application, until the October 19, 2000, Board of Adjustment meeting. ** Note: The Applicant has requested a continuance for the scheduled November 21, 2000, public hearing which the Staff has no objection to. See attached Exhibit#8. The subject property is located at 322 Enterprise Street in the West Orange Industrial Park. It is a 4.09 acre site when the .43 acre or 47' x 400' Florida Central Railroad right-of-way easement which crosses the rear or southward end of the subject is included (see Exhibits #3 and #4). It is zoned "1-2, General Industrial District". Cox Lumber Company primarily builds roof trusses at this location. The subject impervious area is estimated at 75% totally impervious or paved surfaces and roof tops and 18% of the site consists of a densely packed clay and base soil mix which is estimated to be 85% impervious, thus the total site's impervious surface coefficient is a minimum of 70%. A search of the building permit records for this location reveals that a substantial amount of building enlargements and on site improvements have taken place that do not appear to have POW! �a "CENTER OF GOOD LIVING-PRIDE OF WEST ORANGE" MAYOR•COM MISS(OSFR Ocoee S.

A substantial amount of the subjects storm water drainage is discharged directly into Enterprise Street via "French drains" constructed in the parking lot and aisles. Secondly, the Applicant has requested a variance to allow the construction of the above described lumber storage racks within 5' of the rear and east property line (see attached Exhibits #3 and #4). Whereas, Ordinance No. 99-23"Commercial and Industrial Development Standards" paragraph C (2)(c)(i), page 18174.13 states that (photocopy attached as Exhibit #5) " a minimum 10 foot landscape buffer is required between adjacent tracts (side and rear property boundaries). These facts are presented to be considered when weighing the Applicant's request which will reduce or eliminate the possibility of adding landscaping and stormwater management upgrade. Director of Planning Statement The Director of Planning has issued a memorandum in regards to the requested variances. Please see Exhibit #9. In summary, he makes three points, namely: 1) "Ordinance 99-23 clearly requires a ten foot wide landscape buffer along the side and rear property boundaries with the installation of specific landscape materials". This, the Applicant, has sought not to do. 2) "Based upon dozens of projects approved over the last several years, I know of no project that approved with less than a ten foot wide buffer...". 3) "Table 5-2 of the Land Development Code requires a minimum ten foot side and rear setbacks in I-2 zoning districts...accessory structures...the Planning Department is not in favor of the variance(s) requested...which warrant departure from a code provision which has been consistently upheld...". Assistant City Attorney Clarification The Assistant City Attorney, Scott Cookson has provided the attached Exhibit #6 which he has directed be placed in this Staff Report, namely "any approved variance that results in an encroachment into the 47' railroad easement should contain the following condition based on the existence of the easement; "The granting of this variance and the issuance of any resulting building permit shall not be constructed as granting the owner any special right or entitlement concerning use which supersedes any rights held by any easement holder".

Board of Adjustment The Board of Adjustment, at their October 19, 2000, public hearing by a unanimous vote did not adopt the Staffs recommendation but instead recommended that the Applicant's requested variances be granted with the conditions recommended by Assistant City Attorney Scott Cookson as more fully explained in the motion for approval. Please see Exhibit #10, "Board of Adjustment Draft Minutes"page 3 of 4 for the entire language of their approved motion. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of Adjustment recommendation granting the applicant's variance request be set aside and instead a denial of the Applicant's two variance requests to increase the percentage lot coverage or impervious coefficient even greater than the presently existing 90% while providing no additional storm water collection and retention facilities. Secondly, the "IndusMal Development " standards specify a minimum 10 foot landscape buffer between adjacent tracts. The granting of the requested variances would have "the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations" (see attached L.D.0 Article IV, Section 4-9, "Variances", pages 18093 - 18094). Furthermore, such variance shall not be granted by the City unless and until "the following have been demonstrated", which none have: 1) "Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land involved and which are not applicable to other lands"; 2) "That a literal interpretation of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the Applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties with similar conditions"; 3) "That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the Applicant"; 4) That the granting of the variances requested will confer on the Applicant any special privilege that is denied by these regulations to other lands .... under similar conditions".

Section 2.c(i) of Ordinance No. 99-23 dearly requires a ten foot wide landscape buffer along the side and rear property boundaries with installation of specific landscape materials. Section 2.c(ii) permits landscape buffers five feet in width on each boundary only when an integrated project has been master planned. Even in these cases, the landscape material requirement is increased. Based upon dozens of projects approved over the last several years, I know of no project that was approved with less than a ten foot wide buffer along adjoining boundaries, resulting in a combined buffer width of twenty feet. Accordingly, this is the City standard that has always been followed, and it would be for the Board of Adjustment and City Commission to determine whether a variance from the buffer and landscape requirements is warranted. As an additional point, Table 5-2 of the Land Development Code requires minimum ten foot side and rear setbacks in 1-2 zoning districts. Since the proposed racks seem to fit the definition of accessory structures, it would make sense that this too would require a variance form that provision of the Code. In either case, the Planning Department is not in favor of the variance(s) requested since no unique conditions exist relative to this property which warrant departure from a Code provision which has been consistently upheld on all other properties within the City.

The subject property is located at 322 Enterprise Street in the West Orange Industrial Park. It is a 4.09 acre site zoned "I-2, General Industrial District". Cox Lumber Company primarily builds roof trusses at this location. The applicant has requested a variance to allow the construction of the lumber storage racks within 5' of the rear and east property line. Whereas, Ordinance No. 99-23 "Commercial and Industrial Development Standards" paragraph C (2)( c )(I), page 18174.13 states that a minimum 10 foot landscape buffer is required between adjacent tracts. Assistant City Attorney Scott Cookson directed the following wording to be placed in the staff report, namely "any approved variance that results in an encroachment into the 47' railroad easement should contain the following condition based on the existence of the easement; "The granting of this variance and the issuance of any resulting building permit shall not be constructed as granting the owner any special right or entitlement concerning use which superseded any rights held by any easement holder". / orY Exit/fir #i-p 01? ap Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting Thursday, October 19, 2000 Zoning Coordinator Harper gave a detailed history of the case.

Secondly, the "Industrial Development" standards specify a minimum 10 foot landscape buffer between adjacent tracts. The granting of the requested.variances would have "the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations".

Mr. Swisher further stated the Ordinance requires a 10 foot landscape buffer between adjacent lots, which means 5 foot off the property line either way. The proposal is to set the racks on the pavement of the eastern side,place pads 5 feet away from the buffer on the rear side and grant the City use of the 5 feet from the property lines. Discussion ensued. The Public Hearing was opened.

Namely, allow a 5' setback from the adjacent edge of road right-of-way in lieu of the 10' specified by Ordinance 99-23; allow a 160 s.f. sign in lieu of the 40 s.f. authorized by Variance 04VR-99: St. Paul's Presbyterian Church; and, allow the top-of-sign to be 15' above the adjacent paved edge of right-of-way vs. the 12' approved by Variance 04VR-99: St Paul's Presbyterian Church. Zoning Coordinator Harper gave a brief history of the case. Staff recommends approval of the signage depicted in Exhibit 3. The highway signage permitted at the "Best Buy" store located across the road from the churches sign, had an overall size of approximately 319 s.f. but the menu board was 185+ - s.f.. Thus, given the wide 350' open expanse of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church frontage along West Colonial Drive, the presently requested 15' wide sign appears to accomplish the City's expressed goals to upgrade the quality of development within the State Road 50 corridor. Member Colburn seconded by Member O'Kee e moved to recommend that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission a rove Variance 06-VR-2000: St. Paul's Presb terian Church II as had been recommended by sta . Motion carried 4-0.
