Document Description
A General Plan Amendment and Zoning District Map Amendment (Rezone), Development Permit, and Management Plan to allow for the development and operation of a 30,711-square-foot grocery store including an approximate 750 square-foot interior area for a Starbucks Coffee restaurant and outdoor seating area on a 5.5 acre parcel. The proposed grocery store will employ a total of 75 employees, with 30-35 employees being onsite at one time. The grocery store will be open seven (7) days a week from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm.
The subject parcel currently has a General Plan designation of both Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Industrial (IND) and corresponding zoning of Neighborhood Commercial, Site Performance Combining (C1-SP) District and Light Industrial, Planned Development, Site Performance Combining (M1-PD-SP) District. The General Plan Amendment (GPA24-0003) proposes to change the land use designation for the project parcel by increasing the amount of land designated Neighborhood Commercial (NC) from approximately 1.9 acres to approximately 4.3 acres and decreasing the amount of land designated Industrial (IND) from approximately 3.6 acres to approximately 1.2 acres. The project includes a corresponding Rezone (RZN24-0003) to amend Zoning District Map No. 16a for the approximate 4.3 acres to Neighborhood Commercial, Site Performance Combining District (C1-SP) and the approximate 1.2 acres to Light Industrial, Planned Development, Site Performance Combining (M1-PD-SP) District. The Development Permit (DVP24-2) is required for review and approval of the proposed 30,711 square foot grocery store building including an approximate 750 square foot interior area for a Starbucks Coffee restaurant and outdoor seating area, and other related site improvements. The Management Plan (MGT24-0011) is required due to the removal of 4.64 acres of Landmark Groves including five (5) Landmark Oak Trees on the subject property.
