Title
Public Hearing - Application #PL2018-032 - Preliminary Development Plan and Application #PL2018-034 - Special Use Permit for major automotive repair and automotive sales - McCarthy Chevrolet, 1000 SE Century Drive; WRL Investments, LP, applicant.

Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes a preliminary development plan and special use permit for an automotive service facility for major automotive repair and automotive sales located at the southwest corner of SE Oldham Pkwy and SE Century Drive. The property is currently a vacant, platted lot zoned CP-2 (Planned Community Commercial District). The overall amount of proposed square footage for the service building is 10,690 sq. ft. The color palette and materials for the proposed building includes limestone-slate-charcoal grey-colored split-face CMU block and overhead doors. This proposal is an expansion of the existing McCarthy Chevrolet automotive dealership located along the south side of SE Oldham Pkwy, east of SE Century Dr.
The applicant requests a 13.5 year time period to coincide with the expiration of the special use permit for the existing McCarthy Chevrolet dealership on the adjacent property, which will run through November 17, 2031. Staff is supportive of the requested time period.
The applicant requests modifications to the landscaping requirements to allow a 10 foot landscape buffer yard along the south property line, rather than a 20 foot landscape buffer yard; and to allow clustering of shrubs for the required parking lot screening along SE Oldham Pkwy and SE Century Dr., rather than forming a continuous hedgerow.
The applicant requests that construction of the sidewalk along SE Century Dr. be deferred. Staff supports the request to defer construction of the sidewalk as further described in the analysis section.
10,690 square feet building
74.3% proposed overall impervious coverage - 80% maximum allowed impervious coverage
25.7% proposed overall open area - 20% minimum required open area
0.13 proposed overall FAR - 0.55 maximum allowed FAR
48 parking spaces required - 124 parking spaces provided

Presenter
Josh Johnson, Assistant Director of Planning Services

Sidewalk shall be provided along the lot frontage of SE Century Drive within 90 days after notification that a sidewalk on the abutting property is scheduled to be constructed.
