Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-051
APPLICANT: AutoZone Development, LLC; c/o Wesley R. Berlin, Agent; 9137 Lyndenglen Court; Howell, MI 48843.
PROPOSED USE: Automobile parts retail store.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on November 10, 2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and is developed with a vacant gas station. The site is also within the Community Commercial Overlay (CCO). The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District would permit the development of an automobile parts retail store in accordance with the submitted site plan and building elevations. The CPD text permits only the proposed retail auto parts store, commits to CCO graphics requirements, and provides access and circulation restrictions requested by the Department of Public Service. The proposal also provides for variances to the setback, building design, and parking and circulation requirements of the CCO. Those variances are supported because they provide for better site design by placing the building in a manner that orients the entrance and parking and circulation areas away from the adjacent residential uses. While The Northwest Plan (2007) does not provide specific land use recommendations for this site; the updated Plan that is awaiting adoption by City Council recommends commercial development at this location. The proposed CPD district will permit redevelopment of this vacant gas station site with a new retail use that provides appropriate development standards in consideration of adjacent residential uses.
