Planning & Zoning Commission/ <br />Local Planning Agency Minutes <br />February 12, 2025 <br />Page 4 <br />MOTION: Mr. Bass moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission/Local <br />Planning Agency, approve Project SPR 24-10: a Major Site Plan for the <br />retail expansion of a Sunoco Gas Station located at 1735 S.R. 436. This <br />recommendation is based on the findings in the staff report and the <br />testimony and evidence presented during the meeting. The request meets <br />the applicable provisions of the ULDR and is consistent with the City's <br />Comprehensive Plan, as detailed in the written findings within the staff <br />report. Finally, this recommendation includes the two conditions listed <br />into the record by staff. Mr. Veigle seconded the motion. The motion <br />passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0. <br />9. FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND ZONING MAP <br />AMENDMENTS <br />A. ZMA 24-08: Zoning Map Amendment for Hill Street (Parcel ID 09-21-30-506-0300-05001 <br />Staff presentation: Hunter McFerrin, Planner I, presented case number ZMA 24-08: an <br />application to amend the City's Official Zoning Map from R-9 (Low Density Single -Family) to <br />RMF -13 (Medium Density Multifamily) for a vacant parcel identified as Parcel ID 09-21-30-506- <br />0300-0050). Mr. McFerrin discussed general site data and noted the existing Medium Density <br />Residential FLUM designation. <br />Mr. McFerrin noted that the request aligns with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically <br />Objective FLU 1, which seeks to match zoning with FLUM designations. Policy FLU 1.2 allows <br />up to 13 units per acre in RMF -13, consistent with the proposed development. Supporting policies <br />include provisions for various housing types, adequate vehicular access, and serving as a buffer <br />between high and low-density areas. The subject property provides a buffer between Seminola and <br />adjacent single-family properties. <br />The amendment supports Objective FLU 5, promoting infill development to reduce sprawl, and <br />Policy 11.3, which calls for stringent building standards in residential areas with commercial or <br />office uses. The RMF -13 zoning aligns with the MDR FLUM designation as per ULDR Section <br />2-4.3. The applicant engaged with staff in 2024 regarding site development, and staff <br />recommended rezoning to RMF -13 to resolve land entitlement inconsistencies. Staff had no <br />objections due to the existing MDR FLUM designation. <br />Next, Mr. McFerrin explained how the site is surrounded by compatible zoning and land uses, <br />including duplexes and townhomes. Public services, including police, fire, water, and sewer (with <br />a connection within 100 feet), are available. Vehicular and pedestrian access will be via Hill Street, <br />subject to site plan review. A school impact analysis confirmed sufficient capacity. The <br />development is expected to have no significant environmental or economic impacts and will <br />comply with ULDR and City Codes. Staff recommended approval of ZMA 24-01 to rezone the <br />parcel to RMF -13, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and ULDR. <br />
