TITLE: Special Exception, SPX-19-269, 7-Eleven Fuel Pumps (QUASI-JUDICIAL)
Recommended Action
Approval of Resolution 2020-R-11, SPX-19-269, a Special Exception for 7-Eleven fuel pumps, but with fewer than 16 pumps.
Background Information
Jeffery A. Boone, Esq. on behalf of Weedon North Port LLC, has formally submitted to the City of North Port a Development Master Plan application to construct a full-service 7-Eleven which is to include a 3,454 SF convenience store,16 fueling stations, and a 979 SF car wash. The development is proposed on a ± 4.15-acre parcel located north of W. Price Blvd and west of N. Cranberry Blvd. The parcel is zoned Neighborhood Commercial-High Intensity (NC-HI), which allows for convenience store usage but requires the fuel pump and car wash uses go through the special exception process.
This petition is for a special exception to allow for the 16 fuel pumps proposed in the 7-Eleven Full-Service Convenience Store Development Master Plan. The 16 Special Exception Findings as per ULDC Sec. 53-259 have been analyzed in detail in the Staff Report.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved Resolution 2020-R-11 as to form and correctness.
The Planning and Zoning Advisory Board heard this item at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 7, 2020. This item was combined with items Resolution 2020-R-12 and DMP-19-280 for discussion. Discussion included possible impacts from the fuel pumps on the neighboring residential properties, the zoning history of the parcel, the unique location of the parcel, the location of similar services in relation to this parcel, and what would be an appropriate number of fuel pumps. The Planning and Zoning Advisory Board voted 5-1 to recommend approval of Resolution 2020-R-11, a special exception for 7-Eleven fuel pumps, but with 14 pumps.
Strategic Plan
Promote sustainable growth and development, while maintaining or enhancing quality of life in our City.
Financial Impact
The project operates at a surplus of $188,298 through the first 5-year period and continues to decrease over time. The total surplus over years 1-30 is $2,097,239. This indicates overall the project would economically benefit the City.
