Summary:
This Major Site Plan application is to expand the existing development of the Festival Marketplace site with a proposed free-standing 5,411 square foot gas station with convenience store and a vacant building pad area for future development on the existing Festival Marketplace site. The project also includes minor modifications to the existing vehicular use area on the east side of the Festival Marketplace main building.
The gas station was previously approved in 2020 as part of a site plan application with a 25,500 sq. ft. restaurant/retail building that has been removed from the project. The applicant has received approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals to provide bollards between the parking spaces and the convenience store in lieu of a continuous curb.
The property is located on the south side of West Sample Rd. and east of the Florida Turnpike.
The Major Site Plan application was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) on August 17, and October 5, 2022, and was heard by the Architectural Appearance Committee on December 6, 2022.
