III. BACKGROUND
The applicant is seeking conditional use approval to construct two single family
residences, one on each of two vacant lots located on the north side of East Orange
Street, between Hibiscus Street and North Safford Avenue. The subject property
is zoned T4a (Residential High) and is located in the Downtown Character District.
Pursuant to Table 4F of the Transect-Based Infill Code for the Sponge Docks and
Community Redevelopment Area the proposed land use is subject to conditional
use review. To ensure compliance with the desired character of the T4a district,
the proposed residence will be subject to the design standards of the district
including standards regarding building placement, frontage type, height, building
form, parking location, lot coverage, and setbacks.
IV. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW
Pursuant to Section 209.01, Standards for Review of Conditional Uses, of the
Tarpon Springs Land Development Code (LDC), no conditional use shall be
recommended for approval or receive a final action of approval unless a positive
finding, based upon substantial competent evidence either presented at a public
hearing held by the Board or reviewed personally by the Board members, is made
on each of the following standards:
1. Conformance with the requirements of the Land Development Code.
Analysis: The proposed use is subject to conditional use review in the T4a
district. The proposed design of each of the two residences complies with the
3
setback and other performance standards of the T4a district. It is noted that the
required side setbacks have been relaxed to accommodate driveway access onto
East Orange Street since there is no rear alley available. The proposed driveway
and garage configurations for these lots match the adjacent properties in that
the parking itself is masked from street view, and the driveway width
accommodates only one vehicle. The applicant has not submitted a landscaping
plan, but has indicated that existing trees at the front of each site will be
retained. A condition is proposed to require a final landscaping plan.
2. The use to which the property may be put is appropriate to the property in
question and is compatible with existing and planned uses in the area.
Analysis: The proposed use will be located adjacent to other like uses and will
be built consistent with the performance standards of the T4a district. It is noted
this block, that contains the subject lots, forms the border between the
Downtown and Uptown Character Districts. There is a transition to more
residential as one moves north from this block, and a transition to more
commercial and mixed uses going south from this block. The built properties in
the block itself illustrate this transition. They are all built with residential uses
and only one institutional use, located on the southwest corner of the block.
3. The conditional use is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of all
Elements of the City Comprehensive Plan.
Analysis: The conditional use is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of all elements of the City Comprehensive Plan.
4. The conditional use will not result in significant adverse impacts to the
environment or historical resources.
Analysis: The use is located within the City’s National Register and Local
Historic Districts. The use was reviewed and approved by the City’s Heritage
Preservation Board for compliance with historic district standards on January 8,
2018 (Application Numbers 17-126 and 17-127). The use is not proposed on an
environmentally sensitive site.
5. The conditional use will not adversely affect adjoining property values.
Analysis: The proposed single-family residences are located adjacent to other
like uses in this block and will be built in accordance with the standards of the
T4a district. These standards will help ensure that the proposed conditional use
will fit in with the character of the neighborhood and will not adversely affect
property values.
6. The conditional use will not adversely impact nor exceed the capacity or the
fiscal ability of the City to provide available public facilities, including
4
transportation, water and sewer, solid waste, drainage, recreation, education,
fire protection, library service and other similar public facilities.
Analysis: The single-family residences are proposed to be built on vacant
residential lots located within the Community Redevelopment Area. The
development will not require the extension of public services to the site, and will
not adversely affect the ability of the City to provide adequate public facilities.
7. The conditional use shall provide for efficient and orderly development
considering the impact upon growth patterns and the cost to the City to provide
public facilities.
Analysis: The proposed conditional use is located on two vacant lots that are
within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on the location and the very
limited scale of the proposed project, the conditional use will promote efficient
and orderly development within the City and will not adversely affect growth
patterns and the ability of the City to provide public facilities.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 2018-14 with the following
conditions:
1. The conditional use will expire within one year of approval, if a building permit is
not issued for the property.
2. A site plan submitted with the building permit application shall include a
landscaping plan that demonstrates compliance with the T4a district requirements.
VI. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Board heard this application on July 16, 2018. There was
no public opposition or comment on this application. The Board voted unanimously
to recommend approval of Resolution 2018-14 with one condition.
