| CRITERION (a) |
General compatibility. The proposed use can be conducted and operated in a manner that is compatible with adjacent properties and other properties in the immediate area. As prescribed in the LDC 4-7.5 (e), the BOA shall review the following with regard to the condition of general compatibility:
- The existing times of use of the places of worship or child care facilities coincide with the hours of operation of the subject business.
- The 1000-foot minimum distance is not achieved.
- The conflicting uses are visible to each other.
- Any on-premises consumption is outdoors.
- Any conditions or circumstances mitigate any incompatibility.
FINDINGS-OF-FACT
- The applicant stated that the hours of operation will be between 11a.m. and 2:30 a.m. daily for use as a bar.
- The 1000-foot minimum distance is not achieved. It appears that based upon measurements taken from the Escambia County GIS, the distance from the closet corner of the proposed use parcel (southeast corner) to the front door of the existing child care facility, located at 9441 Bowman Ave, is approximately 980 feet. The closest corner of the proposed use site was used in this measurement as there is no building onsite. The location of the proposed use will determine the actually distance, which maybe greater than or less than the 1000' feet requirement. See Exhibit A.
- There are no conflicting uses that are visible to each other.
- The applicant provided a site plan that shows a proposed outdoor area. This project has not been issued a Development Order from the county and any development must meet all requirements of the LDC.
- There are no conditions or circumstances that would mitigate any incompatibility.
