Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2024-135 - Preliminary Development Plan - QuikTrip, 1001 and 1005 SW Blue Parkway; QuikTrip, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to redevelop the subject 2.6-acre property with a 5,312 sq. ft. QuikTrip with 16 fueling stations. The building’s exterior will primarily be brick with EIFS accents and an incidental use of metal in the form of a canopy, fascia cornice and standing seam metal awnings. The new building and fuel stations will be located on the northern portion of the site currently occupied by the car wash facility. This will facilitate a planned phased redevelopment of the site that will allow the car wash facility to be razed and the new convenience store and fuel stations to be constructed in its place while the existing convenience store and fuel stations continue to operate. The existing convenience store and fuel stations will be razed once the new facilities come online.
There is no imminent plan for re-use of the southern portion of the site. As such, the area is currently shown as open space that will be taken back to grass. Future development of the southern portion of the site will be considered under a future application.
There are two modification requests associated with this application. A modification is requested to the 20’ parking lot setback from the public right-of-way, to allow a reduced parking lot setback in a certain area in order to match existing parking lot curb lines. A modification is also requested to the requirement for straight-back curbs along the driveway and parking lot boundaries, to allow the use of roll-back/mountable curbs in certain areas.
