STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 10, 2000
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissipe, rs
FROM: Robert Lewis, AICP, Principal Planner
THROUGH: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: Amoco Station#60677
Special Exception
Project# 1-3SE-99
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve a Special Exception for a proposed Amoco
Station?
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Amoco Station site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Clarke
Road and Silver Star Road. The subject property is approximately 1 acre in size and is zoned
C-2, which allows a convenience commercial use with gas sales as a Special Exception. The
property surrounding the proposed site has C-2 zoning (north, east and west - existing and
proposed shopping centers) and PUD zoning (south - proposed commercial uses). The subject
property is currently vacant with a few trees. The Amoco company has owned the site for
several years and has had previous Special Exception approvals for this site, but those
approvals have since expired.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed Amoco station site is completely surrounded by existing and proposed
commercial uses. There is an existing convenience commercial use with gas sales site (Exxon)
at the southwest corner of this intersection. The Comprehensive Plan allows no more than two
of these uses at any major intersection - this proposed Amoco station would be the second.
This request is simply to allow the use of a convenience store with gas sales at this location. A
site plan will be processed separately if the proposed use is granted a Special Exception. Given
the existing and proposed uses surrounding site, and the previous Special Exception approvals
for this site, the proposed Amoco station is an appropriate use at this location.
The proposed Special Exception for an Amoco station at this location was reviewed by the
Development Review Committee (DRC) on April 25, 2000. The Committee voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the proposed Special Exception.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
At their regularly scheduled meeting on May 9, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission held
a Public Hearing to discuss the proposed Amoco Special Exception. The only person to speak
at the Public Hearing was a representative of Amoco, who requested a corporate name change
as part of the Staff Recommendation. After a brief discussion, the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Special Exception including the
modification of the corporate name within the Conditions of Approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the DRC and Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff
respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Special
Exception for an Amoco Station, subject to the following Special Exception conditions:
1) "This Special Exception approval shall expire twelve (12) months from the
date of approval by the City Commission unless a building permit is
obtained prior to such date permit being for the construction of the
proposed use authorized by the Special Exception. Further, upon issuance
of the building permit, the owner (or its agent) shall diligently proceed in
good faith to complete construction in accordance with the terms thereof.
Failure of the owner (or its agent) to proceed as aforesaid shall provide a
basis for revocation of the Special Exception by the City Commission".
2) "Approval of this Special Exception does not authorize the commencement
of development. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, it will be necessary
to obtain site plan approval pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of the
Land Development Code. Further, compliance with all other applicable
provisions of the Land Development Code shall be required".
3) "Should the uses permitted by this Special Exception be terminated or
substantially modified or expanded in a manner inconsistent with the
Conditions of Approval for the Special Exception, then said, the Special
Exception may be revoked by the City Commission at its sole discretion".
4) "Prior to Site Plan approval, the owner will submit to the City for review and
approval a drainage easement permitting the discharge of storm water to an
off-site storm water collection facility. This form and content of easement
must be acceptable to the City".
5) The applicant shall make a good faith effort to obtain a Certificate of
Occupancy for use within six (6) months of issuance of the building
permit".
6) The Special Exception for a convenient store and gasoline sales facility
shall be applicable only to BP / Amoco, its direct subsidiaries, affiliated
companies or successors in interest and is not transferable to another
owner prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy".
