Explanation
The subject property is located at 2810 North Main Street, just north of Northwest 23rd Avenue. This petition is a request to construct an automobile dealership and associated carwash. The main building is 40,426 square feet, and the carwash is approximately 1,643 square feet. The property is located within the tertiary zone of the Wellfield Protection Zone and is within the City's Special Environmental Concern area (SECA). Because the property is located within the city's SECA, the proposed development must be reviewed by several outside agencies. An application for development review and a wellfield special use permit pursuant to sections 30-203 and 30-204 of the Land Development Code is required. Both the SECA and the Wellfield protection special use permit will be reviewed by the City Plan Board and City Commission.
The property is currently undeveloped. The proposed development will be accessible to North Main Street and to Northeast 28th Place. The new development will address environmental concerns, stormwater, traffic circulation, access, landscaping and the overall orientation of the development to the road network.
The property is approximately 12.11 acres and is zoned I-1 (limited industrial district). The land use is Industrial. The property is on a major street (Main Street) and is bounded on the north and south by existing automobile dealerships, zoned BA (automotive-oriented business district) I-2 (general industrial district) zoned property exists adjacent to the west, and BA (automotive-oriented business district) exists to the east, directly across Main Street.
The Plan Board heard the petition and recommended that it be approved, with staff conditions and recommendations. Both staff and the Plan Board agreed with the applicant that the Health and Safety Plan had to be reviewed by OSHA.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on February 28, 2007. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on February 28, 2007. The Plan Board held a public hearing March 15, 2007.
