1 REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit (Truck & Trailer Rental) 16 June 13, 2012 Public Hearing APPLICANT: ANTHONY & ALYIAH PETERKIN PROPERTY OWNER: NEWTOWN BAKER SHOPPING CENTER LLC STAFF PLANNER: Faith Christie ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: 649 Newtown Road, Suites 110, 114, 115 GPIN: ELECTION DISTRICT: KEMPSVILLE SITE SIZE: acres AICUZ: Less than 65 db DNL SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow use of the site for truck and trailer rentals. The applicant proposes to operate as both a pick-up and drop-off center for the rental business. He proposes having up to 10 trucks and or trailers available for rent. The trucks and or trailers will range from 14 feet to 22 feet in length. Hours of operation for the business will be Monday through Saturday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and by appointment only on Sunday. The business has four employees. The operation is located within the Newtown Baker Crossing shopping center. The center is a typical suburban designed center that was developed in the 1980 s. Typical of shopping center development at the time the site is mostly impervious occupied with buildings and parking areas, and has minimal landscaping. The applicant s units are located in the southern building (the larger of the buildings on the site). LAND USE AND PLAN INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: The site is developed with a shopping center, several out parcels, associated parking, and minimal landscaping. Page 1

2 SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North: South: East: West: Hampshire Lane Across Hampshire Lane are multi-family dwellings / A-18 Apartment Newtown Road and Baker Road Across both roads are service businesses and single-family and multi-family dwellings / B-1 and B-2 Business / R-7.5 Residential and A-12 Newtown Road Across Newtown Road are service businesses and singlefamily dwellings / B-1 and B-2 Business and R-7.5 Residential NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: There are no natural resources or cultural features associated with the site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Suburban Focus Area 2 Lake Edward The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Suburban Focus Area (SFA) 2 Lake Edward. Lake Edward SFA is generally bound by Newtown Road on the east, Herbert Moore Road to the north, Virginia Wesleyan College on the northwest, and the City of Norfolk on the southwest. Goals in this area are focused around improving public safety, revitalizing homes and increasing recreational and education opportunities. The plan also reinforces suburban characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential areas that make-up part of the Suburban Area. Three key planning principles have been established to guard against possible threats to this stability: preserve neighborhood quality, create and protect open spaces, and connect suburban mobility. CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Newtown Road is a four lane suburban minor arterial identified in the Master Transportation Plan Major Street Network Ultimate Rights-of-Way with an ultimate six lane typical section. Baker Road is a two lane suburban minor arterial; the Master Transportation Plan calls for it to be widened to four lanes. There are no CIP projects on either road. Because moving equipment rental is not an ITE land use category, worst-case trip generation was estimated based on several assumptions. First, the trips associated with the rentals were assumed to be in addition to the trips estimated from the shopping center s floor area. Second, all ten trucks identified in the application would rented concurrently. It was further assumed that each piece of equipment would be used for in-town moves such that it could be rented twice a day and each rental would involve four trips (arrival with equipment, leaving with equipment, returning equipment, leaving without equipment). This yielded a worst-case estimate of 80 ADT, with an assumed heavy peaking adding 10 of these trips in the PM peak hour. Page 2

3 TRAFFIC: Street Name Newtown Road Present Volume There is no traffic count station located on this segment of Newtown Road Present Capacity Generated Traffic 30,600 ADT 1 Existing Land Use 2 6,420 ADT (146 AM Peak Hour, 600 PM Peak Hour) Proposed Land Use 3 6,500 ADT (31 AM Peak Hour, 610 PM Peak Hour) Baker Road 12,900 ADT 1 15,000 ADT 1 1 Average Daily Trips 2 as defined by a 91,700 square foot shopping center 3 as defined by a 91,700 square foot shopping center with truck and trailer rental WATER and SEWER: This site is connected to City water and sewer. Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. The proposed use is compatible with the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The City Zoning Ordinance requires that this type of operation be screened if it is located within 100 feet of a residential or apartment district or a right of way. The proposed parking location is 95 feet from Newtown Road. Staff believes the proposed parking location is adequate and the five foot deficiency is offset by the existing landscaping on the site. Installation of a six-foot high fence and landscaping within this particular area of the site would be more detrimental than beneficial to the site. The Ordinance allows that The City Council may, for good cause shown and upon a finding that there will be no significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties, allow reasonable deviations from the following requirements otherwise applicable to the proposed development: (1) Required setbacks; (2) Required landscaping; (3) Height restrictions, except as provided in Section 202(b); and (4) Minimum lot area requirements. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff finds the request acceptable and recommends approval subject to the conditions listed below. CONDITIONS 1. The truck and trailers shall be parked within the area depicted on the site plan in this report (page 6). The parking area is adjacent to the southern landscape island that defines the entrance from Newtown Road. The vehicles shall not be parked anywhere else on the site. 2. There shall be no vehicle / trailer repair, maintenance, and or cleaning and washing of vehicles / trailers on the site. Page 3

4 3. There shall be no signs which contain or consist of pennants, ribbons, streamers, spinners, strings of light bulbs, or other similar moving devices on the site or the vehicles. There shall be no signs which are pasted or attached to utility poles, trees, or fences, or in an unauthorized manner to walls or other signs. There shall be no portable or nonstructural signs, or electronic display signs on the site. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning / Development Services Center and Department of Planning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid. The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.
