A major site plan request to redevelop the subject property by constructing a ±2,586 sq. ft. drive through restaurant along with associated hardscape, landscaping, stormwater retention, and site lighting. Mr. Jonathan Tardif, Planner I, reviewed the information provided in his memorandum dated May 12, 2021 to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Tardif said staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve case number SPR 21-05, based on the staff report and the testimony and evidence presented, that the request meets the applicable provisions of the Unified Land Development Regulations and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as per the written findings in the staff report. He reviewed the following conditions of approval: 1. The site plan approval shall be valid for one (1) year. An extension request may be submitted prior to the expiration of this approval. 2. A tree bank payment of $2,800.00 must be submitted prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. 3. The applicant must obtain a demolition permit for the removal of the existing building on site. 4. Provide copies of all local, regional, state, and federal permits for the project to the City prior to commencement of development. 5. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed, or the site plan shall become null and void. In response to the Commission's question regarding the tree bank contribution, Mr. Tardif explained that the proposed development meets all of the landscaping requirements except for the landscape buffer requirements. He explained that the site cannot accommodate any additional trees. A general discussion ensued regarding determination of when a site needs to pay into the tree bank, crosswalk design, pedestrian access to the site from Oxford Road, parking for food delivery services, and the number of handicap parking spaces. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Tardif explained that the existing parking lot on the north side of the development would remain the same due to existing access easements on the site.
