(automotive fluid sales and services) is an administrative permit use, and a fast food restaurant with drive through is not an allowed use. Both uses are permitted (by -right) uses in the CG, General Commercial zoning district. Therefore, the developer has two options to seek approval for the proposed project. The first option is to make an application for a rezoning from CL to CG. If the property were rezoned to CG, then the applicant would need to submit a site plan application for the project. The second option involves seeking a rezoning to PD and submittal of a conceptual PD plan. It is staff's position that the PD rezoning process is the best option for accomplishing the applicant's objective. Therefore, staff encouraged the applicant to pursue the PD rezoning option. Because a rezoning to CG would allow a number of uses that may not be desirable in the area of the subject site, a CG rezoning could be problematic. In addition, there is no CG -zoned parcel in the immediate area, but there are other PD -zoned properties. Unlike a CG rezoning, rezoning to PD allows the County to control the types of permitted uses, and to prohibit or limit other less desirable uses. The PD Zoning District Generally: There have been several commercial PD rezoning districts approved by the County. Unlike standard zoning districts, there are no specific size or dimension criteria for PD districts. Instead, the PD district is based on the underlying land use plan designation for density/intensity and use limitations, and on compatibility requirements. In the PD zoning district, specific allowable uses, setbacks, and other typical zoning district regulations are established on a site -by -site basis through approval of a conceptual PD plan. Additional aesthetic design standards may also be required under the PD rezoning process. Adopted as part of the PD zoning for a property, the conceptual PD plan serves as the zoning standard for the site. A rezoning to the PD district requires the submission of a binding conceptual PD plan which, along with certain PD district requirements, limits uses and sets -forth specific development standards on the site. Thus, a PD rezoning allows a unique PD district to be developed specifically for each development site. In this case, the conceptual PD plan proposes a 110 room hotel, a tire store, a multi -tenant strip building, a stand-alone restaurant, and a stand-alone fast food restaurant with drive through on 9.66 acres. Aspects of the proposed conceptual PD plan will be addressed in the "PD Plan Analysis" section of the staff report. The applicant is not proposing to change any of the CL size and dimensional criteria through the PD. The PD Rezoning Process: The PD rezoning review, approval, and development process is as follows: STEP 1. Rezoning and Conceptual PD Plan Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff and by the PZC. Final action taken by the BCC. STEP 2. Preliminary PD Plan/Plat (combination of site plan and preliminary plat) Approval: Review and recommendation made by staff. Final action taken by the PZC. Must comply with the approved conceptual PD plan and any conditions imposed by the BCC at the time of PD zoning approval (Step 1). STEP 3. Land Development Permit (LDP) or LDP Waiver: Reviewed and issued by staff for construction of subdivision improvements (road, utilities, drainage).
