AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE “7-ELEVEN #34941 PLAT” APPLICATION TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUELING STATIONS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COCONUT CREEK PARKWAY AND BANKS ROAD. (QUASI-JUDICIAL)(SECOND PUBLIC HEARING)
body
BACKGROUND:
This item was approved on First Reading at the January 23, 2020, City Commission Meeting.
Two points related to additional police detail and a solar installation were raised during the meeting. The City’s Police Department has confirmed that no additional patrol details are provided at two existing 7-Eleven facilities in the City. Additional police details for the current project are not warranted at this time. The applicant’s attorney has provided the following response related to a solar installation. 7-Eleven does not have an option to integrate solar panels into the energy management systems for their stores; however, 7-Eleven does have sustainability programs that have a major focus in reducing its impact on the environment. Part of 7-Eleven's sustainability program has an aggressive goal that it established in 2015 to reduce its energy footprint in stores and offices by 20% by the year 2025. 7-Eleven has taken big steps by strategically investing in several energy and sustainability measures that increase efficiency and reduce waste and resource consumption. 7-Eleven implemented several innovative measures like LED lighting, energy management systems and high-efficiency HVAC units within its new stores and will include these in the Coconut Creek store as well. As a result, 7-Eleven has reduced annual CO2 emissions by an estimated 300,000 metric tons and decreased annual electricity use by 21%.
The applicant, 7-Eleven Inc., is requesting the approval of a 1.3277+/- gross acre plat generally located at the southeast corner of Coconut Creek Parkway and Banks Road. The subject property consists of two separate parcels. The western parcel, approximately .62+/- acres, is located at 4990 Coconut Creek Parkway. The eastern parcel, approximately .70+/- acres, is located at 4960 Coconut Creek Parkway. Once platted, the combined parcels (site) will total 1.3277+/- gross acres.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, the site has a Mobil gas station with convenience store and car wash at the corner, and the Kyle Discount Tool Rental is located just to the east. Both facilities will be demolished for the re-development of a new 7-Eleven convenience store with sixteen (16) fueling stations.
Concurrent with this application, rezoning, special land use, and site plan applications are under review and consideration. In order for this site to be developed as proposed, the owners must first process a plat approval pursuant to Broward County and City of Coconut Creek requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Board, at its December 11, 2019, meeting, recommended approval of the plat application subject to the condition that outstanding DRC comments remain effective throughout the development review process and must be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit. Outstanding DRC comments are included in the Planning and Zoning Board Agenda backup and are available online for your review.
