Body
Background:
The subject property is located on the southeast corner of West Atlantic Avenue and South Military Trail within the Bed Bath & Beyond Plaza, also known as Delray West Plaza. The property is located in the Planned Commercial (PC) zoning district within the Four Corners Overlay District, and it has a General Commercial (GC) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation. The 8.4 acres site was developed as a commercial shopping center in 1981, prior to its annexation into the City of Delray Beach in 1989. The existing development consists of 89,375 sf of commercial space including three existing buildings and the recently redeveloped outparcel. A Neighborhood Automotive Rental Facility is allowed as a Conditional Use within the Four Corners Overlay District subject to the requirements of Section 4.3.3(C) of the Land Development regulations (LDRs). Currently, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has an office within the shopping center but cannot store rental vehicles on-site without an approved conditional use for a Neighborhood Automotive Rental Facility.
As fully described in the attached staff report, positive findings can be made with respect to Land Development Regulations Sections 2.4.5(E)(5)(Conditional Use Findings), 4.3.3(C)(Special Regulations), Chapter 3(Performance Standards) and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, subject to the conditions as listed in the staff report and an additional condition reccomended by the Planning and Zoning Board: signage shall be provided indicating that customer pick-up and drop-off of vehicles is not allowed in the rear.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request at its meeting on June 10, 2019 and a recommendation to approve the Conditional Use was made on a 5-0 vote.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Funding Source/Financial Impact:
N/A
Timing of Request:
