Item No: 5C.
Meeting Date: July
9, 2012
From: Bill
Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance
amending the zoning for Colored Aggregate Systems, Inc. property from City PUD
(Planned Unit Development) to City amended PUD to allow for development condition changes (Previously Recyclable 100)
Staff Recommendation:
The
Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed
amended zoning for the subject property from City PUD (Planned
Unit Development) to City
amended PUD.
Analysis:
The purpose of the proposed amendments are to revise some operating
conditions necessary for the continued operation of the facility such as
additional outside equipment and storage with additional screening and to
address some concerns of the adjacent residential area, Arlington Ridge. Other
items include changing the temporary fence to a permanent PVC fence that meets
wind code and lowering the required height of the storage enclosures to eight
from ten feet.
The project site is approximately 11.37 acres. The property is generally located on the west
side of Haywood Worm Farm Road, south of Rogers Industrial Park Road and north
of the Arlington Ridge Subdivision,
as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this
property is City PUD (Planned Unit Development). Currently, the property is used as an
aggregate processing facility with associated uses and the proposed use is to
continue the aggregate processing facility. The surrounding zonings of adjacent
properties are County HM (Heavy Industrial) and County MP (Planned Industrial) on
the north, City PUD (Planned Unit Development) on the south and east, and County
HM (Heavy Industrial) on the west. The existing Land Use designation for the
subject property is Lake County Urban Expansion.
The amended zoning district of City PUD
(Planned Unit Development) as conditioned is compatible with the adjacent and
nearby properties in the area and with the proposed future land use designation of
City Industrial and would
be a continuation of the activities previously approved for the project..
The existing land uses surrounding the
property are industrial uses (Covanta Energy), single family homes and
Arlington Ridge maintenance facility uses.
The development currently does not have
City utilities except for gas.
By
a vote of 4 to 0 on June 21, 2012, the Planning Commission voted to recommend
approval of the amended zoning.
Options:
1. Approve the proposed
amended zoning of City PUD (Planned Unit Development) as conditioned thereby
allowing consistent zoning and development standards for this area.
2.
Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
There
is a positive fiscal impact to the City through the continued operation of this
industrial facility.

the proposed project was completed by Pamela Richmond, Project Manager,
Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization, in a Technical Memorandum Recyclable
100, Inc. Project dated January 13, 2011 (Exhibit F). The results determined
that “A comparison of each segment’s available capacity to the project trips assigned

subdivision on the south until development of Phase 2 (See E below).
B. The
buffer area along the southern boundary of Phase 1 shall contain existing
canopy trees as well as
four additional trees to be planted in the open areas between the

boundary of the “open natural buffer area” and extend west 300 feet to buffer all equipment and open
storage from
the road to
the existing tree line along the southern boundary of Phase 1 as seen on the
attached site plan Exhibits D and E. This will provide a visual buffer from the
adjacent residential Arlington Ridge subdivision property. The eastern 300 foot section of
the PVC or wood
fence will be installed by September 30, 2012 and the remainder of
approximately 360 feet of PVC or wood fence along the southern boundary
of Phase 1 shall be installed by December 31, 2012. The referenced fence shall

location of existing trees that may be incorporated into the buffer area. The
area between the wall and the property line shall remain in its natural
vegetative state (existing trees, ground cover, vegetation etc.) and shall be
protected during any construction. The remaining area between the wall and the
project shall be landscaped per G. below

facilities, such as, but not limited to roads, sewage, water supply, drainage,
solid waste, parks and recreation, schools and emergency medical facilities.
However, no final development order (building permits) shall be granted for a
proposed development until there is a finding that all public facilities and

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Recyclable 100, Inc. Project
Date: January
13, 2011
Prepared by: Pamela
Richmond, AICP
MPO
Project Manager
Purpose: The purpose of this technical
memorandum is to explicate the impacts of the Recyclable 100, Inc. Project to
the surrounding roadway network.
The Recyclable 100, Inc. Project is located on
the west side of Haywood Worm Farm Road about ¼ miles south of Rogers
Industrial Park Road in unincorporated Lake County. The site is 11.5 acres in
area with a zoning designation of industrial and is fully entitled to develop
as such. The proposed development plan is to construct an aggregate coloring
facility in two phases, with build-out anticipated no sooner than 2012.
Build-out will occur when economic conditions and product demand create a need
for additional facility capacity. This is an existing developed, non-operating
site that is in the process of being activated as a site to relocate their
current business in the City of Apopka. The City of Leesburg is considering
annexing the property into the City limits.
Traffic generated by the site will be heavy
trucks and automobiles. Trucks entering and exiting the site is expected occur
between 7:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, but typically not past
3:00 P.M. The facility’s size limits the number of trucks it is capable of
servicing simultaneously to two. When Phase 1 is fully functional, no more than
three trucks and four employees will enter and exit the site each weekday. At
Phase 2 build-out, the facility will be capable of servicing a maximum of ten
trucks per day and employ as many as 12 full time workers.
The
Lake~Sumter MPO adopted a methodology for the preparation of a Traffic Impact
Study (TIS). These guidelines establish minimum standards for all TIS reports,
in order to provide a clear, orderly and consistent basis on which traffic
impacts are to be evaluated. The level of detail and type of TIS for each
project is dependent on the number of net new peak-hour trips generated. Projects
that generate 0-25 net new peak hour trips do not require a full TIS and the
applicant may submit a request for exemption from full traffic analysis letter. The
following information provides the information that is required by the adopted
methodology for this level of analysis.
Trip Generation
Trip generation of
the facility will consist of heavy trucks and employee automobiles. For the
purposes of this document, an analysis of the build-out scenario for P.M. peak
hour conditions will be conducted.
The
facility will be able to service a maximum of ten trucks per day. At that
capacity, it will be supported by a maximum number of 12 employees.

ITE Trip Generation, 8th edition, LUC 710)
= 18 trips (3 entering 15 exiting trips)
Trip
Distribution/Assignment
An
estimated distribution pattern was determined for the trips to be generated in
consultation with the Owner/Operator of the facility. The project trips were
then assigned to the roadway segments surrounding the site. The results are
shown in the table below and can be summarized as follows:
· Trips generated by
this facility under the maximum development/worst case scenario will have a
relatively low impact.
· A comparison of each
segment’s available capacity to the project trips assigned to each segment
shows sufficient capacity exists to accommodate all traffic generated by this
project and the project meets concurrency requirements.
· The level of impact
meets the state’s criteria of de minim is impact defined as “an impact that
would not affect more than 1 percent of the maximum volume at the adopted level
of service of the affected transportation facility as determined by the local
government.” (Section 163.3180(6), F.S) De Minimis impacts are consider
inconsequential and do not require mitigation as long as the impacted roadway
segment is operating below 110% of capacity or volume to capacity ratio (v/c)
of 1.10. As shown in the table, no impacted roadways are near capacity.
