Planning & Zoning Board Meeting Minutes July 13, 2016 John Price, Chairperson Patsy Huffman, Board Secretary City of Cape Canaveral Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Date: 07/27/2016 Item No. I'll - t: Special Exception Request No. 2016-03 — An Automoth Category — 8000 Astronaut Boulevard (Cumberland Farms). Applicant/Owner: Chris Ossa, P. Summary: This application is for the construction and operation of an automotive service station (Cumberland Farms) located at 8000 Astronaut Boulevard (Attachment 1). The proposed development consists of a 4,928 square foot, retail convenience store that includes six fueling islands (12 fueling pumps) under a detached canopy. The project includes 22 parldng spaces including 1 handicap space. A 325 square foot outdoor seating area is proposed adjacent to the southeast corner of the building (Attachment 2). The project is located on a 1.42 acre parcel, which has frontage on Astronaut Boulevard and N. Atlantic Avenue (Attachment 3). Sec. 110-39 (c) of the City Code establishes certain criteria that must be evaluated when a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Board to the Board of Adjustment is being considered. For a detailed analysis of these criteria, see Attachment 4. The proposal meets these minimum standards. With the adoption of ord. No. 11-2015, the City Council established specific regulations dealing with automotive service stations. A notable provision of the ordinance was to only allow new stations in the M-1 zoning district. However, the ordinance also established that all existing service stations that were lawfully permitted through the City's special exception process prior to November 17, 2015, would be considered a lawful, conforming use, regardless of the zoning district it is within. In addition, the ordinance provided that existing stations could expand to 16 fueling stations if it is located on a single lot of at least one acre and with at least 275 feet of single street frontage. The subject parcel/request meets these requirements. Subject Property Future Land Use/Zoning Designation: C1 Surrounding zoning: North — CI South — C 1 East — Cl West — C 1 Surrounding uses: North — Retail South — Retail East — Retail/Office West — Vacant Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Date: 07/272016 Special Exception No. 2016-03 Page 2 of 2 On April 20, 2016, the City's Community Appearance Board approved the development of the proposed project. The CAB's role is to review proposed development to ensure that it is consistent and furthers the community's architectural standards and enhances existing development. As required by Sec. 110-39(c)(1), all special exception requests must demonstrate that the project's traffic -generating characteristics will not adversely impact land use activities in the immediate area. A traffic study was conducted by McMahon Transportation Engineers & Planners dated March 17, 2016 (Attachment 6) detailing the impacts of the proposed project. The study indicates that the proposed development will generate 615 net new daily trips, 27 net new AM peak hour trips, and 51 net new PM peak hour trips. SR AIA (Astronaut Boulevard), which provides the primary access to the project, is operating at a LOS of C with a current count of 1,196 (north bound) and 1,388 (south bound) peak hour trips. The analyzed roadway segments will continue to operate at an acceptable level of service with the proposed development. There will be additional City approvals needed to construct the proposed development. These include: site plan approval which will require a public hearing before the Planning & Zoning Board; an administrative concurrency review, and an administrative Site Development Permit.

They include the following: The daily trip rate for the automotive care center was based on assuming that the PM peak rate is 10 percent of the daily rate; The in/out split for the automotive care center PM peak hour was based on the AM peak hour split; The daily trip rate for convenience market was based on assuming that the FM peak rate is 10 percent of the daily rate; The pass -by rate for LU 852 was based on the pass -by rate for LU 851; and the pass -by rate for daily Condition for gas station with Convenience market was based on the PM peak hour pass -by rate. Results of the analysis, summarized in Table 1, indicate that the proposed development is expected to generate an increase of 615 net new daily nips, 27 net new AM peak hour trips, and 51 net new PM peak hour trips.

Based on the net new increase in peak hour trips, the traffic study is required to analyze the capacity impacts at five (5) City traffic count stations. One (1) shall be at the northern extreme of State Highway AlA within the city limits, one (1) shall be at the southern extreme of State Highway A1A within the city limits and the other three (3) shall be taken at stations nearest the development, which are not located on State Highway A1A. The evaluation of available capacity at each traffic count station must include an assessment of existing traffic volumes, previously approved project traffic volumes and existing Level of Service E service volumes. The evaluation for each traffic count station is to be on a PM peak hour or AM peak hour directional basis, whichever is higher. Table 2 summarizes the roadway capacity analysis. Information for the roadway name, roadway segment, count location number, number of lanes, roadway service volume, 2014 peak hour volume and approved development trips were based on the City of Cape Canaveral 2014 Transportation Conditions Update, excerpts of which are attached in Appendix C. The 2014 peak hour volume was based on the average of the AM peak hour volume and the PSWA peak hour volume, per the TIS guidelines. The project distribution for the site, graphically shown on Figure 2, was based on a review of travel patterns on the roadway network roadway characteristics, roadway connectivity to areas outside the City, and coordination with City staff. Project trips were assigned to the roadway segments based on the distribution and trip generation analyses and were based on the worst case traffic conditions, which are expected during the PM peak hour. Results of the analysis indicate that all roadway segments are expected to operate at an acceptable level of service with excess capacity on the roadways. Conclusion Based on the analysis contained herein, the analyzed roadway segments are expected to operate at an acceptable level of service with the proposed redevelopment. All analyzed roadways will have excess roadway capacity after the addition of project traffic from the redevelopment of the existing site to a Cumberland Famrs gas station.
