and Zoning Commission at its May 12, 1994 meeting. The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Mooring -Line Drive and S.R. A -1-A (see attachment #5) and is zoned CL, Limited Commercial. Shopping centers are permitted uses in the CL zoning district. The subject site is cleared, with the exception of some scattered trees on the site. The developer proposes to build a 46,560 square foot shopping center which will consist of a grocery store/supermarket, a retail area, and a --bank (see attachment #6). Area residents have displayed a great deal of interest and concern regarding the proposed development, and planning staff have coordinated closely with area prdperty owners associations and neighborhood groups regarding this project proposal from its inception. ANALYSIS: 1. Size of Site: 5.32 acres or 231,832 sq. ft. 2. Zoning Classification: CL, Limited Commercial 3. Land -Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial 4. Building Area (for the four proposed buildings): Publix: 27,860 sq. ft. Retail: 10,700 sq. ft. Retail: 5,000 sq. ft. Bank: 3,000 sq. ft. Total: 46,560 sq. ft. Note: A sit down restaurant has been removed as a proposed use. 5. Open Space: Required: 25.0% Provided: 25.2% (creditable) Note: There is a difference between the creditable amount (green area) and overall amount. The difference is the 2.5' overhang area provided at parking spaces. The 2.5' is not creditable towards satisfying the 258 open space requirement. One of the items questioned by residents at the May 12, 1994 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was the site plan's open space percentage. Because of the questions, the applicant re-examined the open space figure and found that, contrary to previous information and "verification" offered by the applicant, additional open space was required to,meet the 25% requirement. The applicant has addressed this concern in the submitted revised plans by reducing required parking area and converting some previously proposed parking area to green area. The reduction in the amount of required parking was achieved through the elimination of a proposed sit-down restaurant. This new open space area is located south of the stand-alone retail building. Staff has requested that the applicant again re -check the green area calculations for this project. Again, the applicant has verified that the revised site plan meets the 25% open space requirement. 46 July 12, 1994
