CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE TO ESTABLISH AN “AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR FACILITY (MAJOR)” IN THE “CH” HEAVY COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT FOR A 1.57 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7651 PARK BOULEVARD. (CU 2015- 03/Hinrichs Holdings, LLP) NOTE: The applicant is requesting approval to establish a major automotive repair facility at 7651 Park Boulevard in the “CH” Heavy Commercial Zoning District. The existing warehouse structure was approved for development as a Conditional Use in 2005 for the use as a distribution center for St. Petersburg Times newspaper. An amendment to that Conditional Use to install overhead doors on the north side of the building was denied by City Council later that same year, due to potentially negative impacts on the functionally abutting residential property. The applicant has proposed the installation of two overhead doors on the north side of the building, for this automotive repair use. Subject to any matters that may be discussed at this hearing, staff has not identified any inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal should have no adverse effect on adopted levels of service for City infrastructure. Surrounding land uses are: to the north, single family residences; to the south, Parkview commercial plaza; to the east, Goodwill Donation Center; and to the west, J.D. Byrider. At its meeting of December 4, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended APPROVAL of the request with an added condition to regulate the use of the proposed overhead doors to minimize the impact on the abutting residential property. ACTION: (Approve - Deny) A request for a Conditional Use for an “Automotive Repair Facility (Major)” in the “CH” Heavy Commercial Zoning District based upon review of the Conditional Use criteria listed in Section 18-1531.10 for a parcel of land generally located at 7651 Park Boulevard, subject to the following conditions: 1. Wrecked or inoperable vehicles awaiting repair may not be stored in required parking or landscape areas. 2. The rear garage doors shall remain closed before 8:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; and after 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
