Page 8 CPA (SS) 2020-04 Bell Covered Storage APPLICATION SUMMARY This is a request to amend the Future Land Use Map from Rural/Silviculture to Mixed Use District for approximately 1.16 acres of land. Based on the application materials provided, the applicant intends on developing the subject property for an RV and Boat Storage facility that will consist of up to 32 covered storage units. The facility will be operated as an addition to the existing St. Johns Boat & RV Storage located to the north at 11325 Old Dixie Highway. The applicant has filed a companion Rezoning application (REZ 2020-15) to change the current zoning classification of the subject property from Open Rural (OR) to Commercial Intensive (CI) with conditions. The proposed conditional rezoning will eliminate high intensity uses allowed within the CI zoning district in order to provide further consistency. IMPACT REVIEW • Transportation: This project is exempt from concurrency pursuant to Section 11.00.05 of the Land Development Code, adopted August 7, 2018. A non-binding traffic impact analysis was completed for Bell Covered Storage (CPA (SS) 2020-04) to assess for potential impact based solely upon the applicant's intended plan of development. The intended plan of development provided in the CPA application is an RV and Boat Storage facility. Based on the ITE Trip Generation Handbook the anticipated trip generation is 3 p.m. peak hour trips. • Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer: Central water and sewer are provided by the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA). There is sufficient capacity. • Drainage: The proposed project will comply with all applicable Federal, State, regional, and local land development regulations and permitting requirements. • Solid Waste: There is sufficient capacity. • Public Schools, Parks and Recreation, Open Space, and Mass Transit: No impact. • Fire Services: The subject property has an Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating of Class 3, which is defined by properties within five (5) road miles of an existing fire station and within 1,000 feet of a creditable water supply. The closest fire station is located at 220 Pine Island Road. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW This application was routed to all appropriate reviewing departments. There are no open comments. Office of the County Attorney Review: All amendments to the St. Johns County comprehensive plan are legislative in nature. This is a policy-making decision to determine the future growth pattern of St. Johns County (i.e. is it appropriate to expand the development area boundary or to change the maximum theoretical growth in this area). A determination of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and state law and approval or denial of the proposed amendment must not be arbitrary and capricious. Decisions on approval or denial of legislative land-use policy are determined on whether the decision is supported by fairly debatable evidence. Fairly debatable means that the government action must be upheld if reasonable minds could differ on the result concerning the evidence presented. Technical Division Review: All future site engineering, drainage, and required infrastructure improvements will be reviewed pursuant to the established Development Review Process to ensure that the development has met all applicable local regulations and permitting Page 9 CPA (SS) 2020-04 Bell Covered Storage requirements. No permits will be issued prior to compliance with all applicable regulations. Planning and Zoning Division Review: Based on application materials provided, the applicant intends on developing the property for RV/Boat Storage use. The subject property contains approximately 1.16 acres of land. Currently, the property is improved with a 1,499 square foot doublewide mobile home, RV Canopy, and several accessory structures. The property is mostly cleared with several trees located throughout. Access to Old Dixie Highway is provided via a driveway toward the south end of the property. The proposed amendment to change the current Future Land Use designation to Mixed Use District (MD) would be compatible with the proposed RV/Boat Storage use. Additionally, the applicant has submitted a companion Rezoning application with this requested Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the current zoning designations from Open Rural (OR) to Commercial Intensive (CI) with conditions. The proposed condition would limit uses on the property to RV/Boat Storage and Office/Professional Services uses in order to provide further consistency with the surrounding area. Table 1 (below) shows a comparison of permitted use categories within the current and proposed Future Land Use designations.
