1 11 August 14, 2013 Public Hearing APPLICANT: CREEDS RURITAN CLUB PROPERTY OWNER: BLACKWATER CREEDS FOUNDATION STAFF PLANNER: Stephen J. White REQUEST: Modification of a Conditional Use Permit for a private club approved by the City Council on November 8, ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: 1057 Princess Anne Road GPIN: ELECTION DISTRICT: PRINCESS ANNE SITE SIZE: 3.8 acres AICUZ: Less than 65 db DNL BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL The Conditional Use Permit for a private club (now classified as assembly use ) was approved by the City Council on November 28, The Conditional Use Permit was tied to a Conditional Change of Zoning from AG-1/AG-2 to O-2 Office. The change to O-2 Office on the property was for the purpose of allowing a Farm Bureau Insurance office to operate. The 1995 Conditional Use Permit had four conditions. The four conditions are retained with this request for Modification, and are listed as the first four recommended conditions on page three. A site plan submitted with the application was referenced by the staff report in the description of the changes. That plan is shown on page five of this report, and consisted of a site and drainage plan for Rainbow Gardens Plant Nursery, which previously operated on this site. No physical changes to the site, other than the removal of existing greenhouses and clearing of weeds, were proposed as part of the 1995 Use Permit. The applicant is now requesting modification of the 1995 Use Permit for the purpose of allowing use of two recently constructed steel utility buildings for activities and social functions. Page 1

2 LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXISTING LAND USE: Insurance office and private club (Ruritan Club) SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North: Cultivated field / AG-2 Agricultural District South: Rural residential dwellings / AG-2 Agricultural District East: Princess Anne Road Rural residential dwellings / AG-2 Agricultural District West: Cultivated field / AG-1 Agricultural District NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: The site has a mixture of vegetation, including grasses and mature evergreen trees along the southern lot line and a variety of young and mature deciduous trees along the northern lot line. Research by staff did not indicate any known significant historic or cultural features associated with the site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being within the Rural Area. The Rural Area is located in the part of the city south of Indian River and Sandbridge Roads. It is characterized as low, flat land, with wide floodplains and altered drainage, with a presence of agricultural and rural related activities, including traditional and specialty crop cultivation, tree farms, equestrian facilities, wetland banks, fish farms, and other similar uses. It is an important objective to protect and sustain all of our valuable environmental, scenic and agricultural resources against inappropriate activities and intense growth pressures (p. 5-1 to 5-4). IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES WATER & SEWER: This site is not served by City water or sanitary sewer services. The site currently has a private well and wastewater is treated by a septic system. The applicant sought and has approval from the Department of Health for the construction of the buildings. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The proposal to utilize the two steel buildings at the rear of the site for activities and social functions is acceptable. The club and its activities are compatible to the surrounding area and are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan s recommendations regarding the preservation of the culture and history of the Rural Area.
