2180 Merced Street 2 02/ 10/98 A-97-11/PD-97-9 beverages has existed on the property as incidental in nature. This application does not include the sale of alcoholic beverages. Pursuant to the Zoning Code, a drive -up facility is conditionally permitted on a property zoned IG District (Section 2-714 E.). The convenience store, however is not a permitted or conditionally permitted use in the IG District. The applicant is therefore requesting the following: A. To rezone the property from IG General Industrial District to IG (PD) General Industrial, Planned Development Overlay District; and B. A planned development to include a convenience store on the property. The drive -up facility was included with this Planned Development application to streamline the process and negate a separate hearing for a conditional use permit before the Board of Zoning Adjustments (BZA). The property is presently accessed by four driveways from Marina Boulevard and Merced Street. The site plan will accommodate the proposed drive-thru lane in a counter -clockwise direction around the building. The ordering/pick-up window will be located at the rear of the building and the queuing at this point will be for a minimum of five standard vehicles. Nine off-street parking spaces will be provided. The existing building and a small addition for the order/pick-up window at the rear will give the building a foot -print area of 1,784 square feet. The new interior will consist of a sales area, a walk- in cooler, a coffee counter and a cashier's area. The coffee counter would provide customers with already -prepared, ready to eat foods, such as donuts, pastries, other snack items and coffee drinks for customers inside the store or using the drive-thru lane. The roll -up doors at the front side of the building will be removed. The front elevation will be changed to a new store front with windows and glass doors (See Exhibit D - Elevations). The exterior walls will be finished with colored stucco (cement plaster). The colors of the building will be white and a light gray for a band that goes around the whole building. The metal fascia band at the building's storefront and drive-thru window will be red and yellow. These colors are derived from the FLYERS logo that Nella Oil uses. The new canopies will be similar in height to the existing ones, but will cover a larger area overhead to improve cover over the fueling areas. The canopies will be white with blue and red associated with the EXXON trademark. The fuel dispensers will receive a similar treatment, but with a reduced version on top. The CFN trademark will be blue and refers to the "Card Fueling Network." The applicant intends to retain the 24-hour sale of gasoline. The sale of products inside the store will include foods, beverages and sundries. - 2
