Document Description
The project is a request for approval of a Development Plan (019- 000021) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP19-00029) to allow for the development and operation of a CarMax facility. The proposed development consists of the construction of a CarMax pre-owned automobile dealership, including a sales and administration building, service building, private carwash, associated access drives, landscaped areas; presentation area; staging area (93 spaces), sales display area (285 spaces), and a customer and employee parking lot (148 spaces). An additional sales display area would be provided on the northern parcel with a security gate and control island and would be developed as part of Phase 11 of the project.
The proposed site includes two main access points off Thunder Drive. An access point would be located off Plaza Drive for test drives only and would not be accessed by the public. Off-site improvements would be required and would include the extension of the 12" PVC water main along Plaza Drive across the project frontage and the OMV to be looped to Thunder Drive. Full width improvements on Plaza Drive would construct an 80-foot curb to curb width across the project frontage. Landscaping would cover approximately 13.6 percent of the project site. A 100- foot riparian buffer wourd run east to west on the southern portion of the site. This would include a 50-foot biological buffer as well as a mandatory 50-foot planning buffer. (See attached Site Plan).
