The Semoran Gateway Special Plan is intended to preserve and strengthen commercial land uses and redevelopment opportunities within the Semoran Blvd. corridor, to enhance pedestrian safety and the Main Street character of the corridor, and to give the corridor a unified, consistent image so that it has a feel of a recognizable district, while also improving the visibility of businesses within the corridor. The Semoran Gateway Special Plan contains a list of prohibited uses; the proposed use is not listed on the prohibited use list. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed UPS Access Point lockers, intensive retailing use, per section 58 part 1B allowable use tables. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent and all other requirements of the Land Development Code. Growth Management Plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with all applicable policies of the City s adopted Growth Management Plan. Compatibility. The compatibility of the proposal with surrounding land uses and the general character of the area including such factors as height, bulk, scale, intensity, traffic, noise, drainage, dust lighting, and appearance. Public Facilities and Services. Whether necessary public facilities (both on-site and off-site), such as transportation, sanitation, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, and recreation, will be adequate to serve the proposed use. Residential Displacement. The Municipal Planning Board and the City Council must consider the extent to which the proposed use, location, and building site design would displace existing residential uses on the site or would encourage displacement of residential uses adjacent to the site. They must also consider alternative uses, location, and site designs that could minimize residential displacement. Other Matters. Any other lawful matter that the Municipal Planning Board deems appropriate and relevant to the specific proposal. 62. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the request is to allow an intensive retail use, which requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the AC-1 zoning district. The AC-1 zoning district is intended to provide for concentrated areas of community-serving commercial, office, residential, recreational and cultural facilities, at higher intensities than in surrounding neighborhoods. Although some Community Activity Centers may be composed of a single type of use, a mixture of land uses is specifically encouraged. These activity centers are intended for locations where a combination of arterials and four lane collectors and mass transit service are available, providing access to other activity centers and surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed locker use will allow a UPS package to be delivered to a locker either by the consumer or UPS. If UPS is not able to deliver a package to a residence and it is close ot a UPS Access Point locker, the package will be delivered to the locker later that day or the next day. The consumer is also able to direct a package to a UPS Access Point locker through UPS My Choice, which allows control over incoming deliveries. (Per the Applicant s Project Description) Compatibility. The property is abutted by commercial uses to the north, south, and east with office use to the west (across S. Semoran Blvd.). Public Facilities and Service. Public facilities and services are existing on the site from the existing 7-Eleven use. Any on-site lighting for the proposed UPS Access Point locker (intensive retailing) use must conform to the City of Orlando Light Code. Residential Displacement. No residential uses will be displaced via the proposed addition to the existing 7-Eleven commercial site. Table 3 Parking Requirements Additional Analysis. All building and site improvements must be permitted prior to construction, and the parent site must meet all applicable City Codes with regard to setbacks, size, height per applicable AC-1/AN/SP development standards. Parking. Parking for the existing automotive service use is 12 (2 per each bay) per LDC Section , Figure 27, as shown in Table 3 to the right. The existing parking area is asphalt and will remain as is. The UPS Access Point lockers will not remove existing parking spaces. The lockers do not yield a need for additional parking due to the short term nature of the transaction and the size of the structure. Use Auto Services (6 service bays) Min. Required Required Spaces (Minimum/Maximum) Min. 2 spaces/1 service bay Max. None 12 spaces Existing 12 spaces (1 handicap spaces provided) * *The UPS Access Point lockers do not require an additional parking space due to the minimum impact of traffic volume. Traffic. Vehicular access to the site is from two cross access points on S. Semoran Blvd. (to the west) and Hoffner Ave. (to the

5 Page 5 P R O JECT ANALYSIS north) Cross-access easements already exist between this lot and the existing lots to the west and south of the property. Pedestrian Access. The applicant is proposing to construct a 3 ft. sidewalk front the existing walkway to the concrete pad, where the lockers will be located. The subject site has a sidewalk connection on the north and west side. The proposed sidewalk must be 5 ft. in width to allow ADA access to the lockers from the existing sidewalk. Signage. Per LDC Section , sign area for the site has linear square frontage facing Semoran Blvd. and Hoffner Ave., which equates to sq. ft. of the total signage available for the site, including ground, wall, window, or other signs visible from the public R-O-W. All new signage will require permits prior to sign fabrication and placement. Banners, streamers and windoperated advertising devises are prohibited. Digital signs are also prohibited. The applicant must acquire an allocation of signage area from the property owner and provide at time of permitting. School Impact Not applicable, the use will be non-residential commercial use. Additional Analysis The proposed lockers are consider an intensive retail use due to the nature of the transaction which takes place for a product and the massing of the system being installed. The use is considered compatible with the existing character of the neighborhood due to the commercial uses to the east,north, south and west. A E R IAL PHOTO Subject Site
