Discussion:
The applicant is requesting two variances for the business All Florida Plumbing located at 1103 South
Ridgewood Avenue. The first variance is from Article III, Section 21-36.03(c)to allow for outdoor storage to
exceed the height of the existing privacy fence. The outdoor storage of various plumbing equipment is currently
screened behind an 8 foot tall privacy wall; however, the equipment exceeds the height by approximately 4'.
The second request is for a variance from Article XX- Ridgewood Corridor, Section 21-540.10 to allow for a
predominant building color of yellow. The Land Development Code states that"The use of garish or gaudy
colors is prohibited. The use of black, neon, or fluorescent colors is prohibited as the predominant building
color." The building has been neon yellow since 2018, however a residential complaint has prompted the
application for a variance.

Staff Review:
According to Article IX, Section 21-100.04(d), Non-Administrative Variance, City of Edgewater's Land
Development Code;
In order to grant a non-administrative variance, the P. & Z. Board shall make the following findings of fact:
1. That granting of the proposed variance is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan;
2. That granting of the proposed variance will not result in creating or continuing a use which is not
compatible with adjacent uses in the area;
3. That granting of the proposed variance is the minimum action available to permit reasonable use of the
property;
4. That the physical characteristics of the subject site are unique and not present on adjacent sites; and
5. That the circumstances creating the need for the variance are not the result of actions by the applicant,
actions proposed by the applicant or actions by the previous property owner(s).
6. That granting of the proposed variance(s)will not cause substantial detriment to the public welfare or
impair the purposes and intent of the Land Development Code.
Explanation of hardship by applicant: "We have $25,000 in pipe racking and a chlorine storage tank since
1995 that is visible above our newly installed wall that needs variance to be approved along with our 10 year
color of our commercial building."
1. Will granting the proposed variance result in a conflict with the Comprehensive Plan?
a. Staff's response:
i. Future Land Use Policy 1.6.6: Guidelines for the SR 442 and U.S. 1 Corridors. The
City shall continue to use the Indian River Boulevard-S. R 442 Corridor Design
Regulations (adopted in April 2004) and the Ridgewood Avenue Corridor Design
Regulations (adopted in 2012) as a guide to implement regulations for specific
streetscape, landscape, architectural design standards and all other applicable
requirements for properties developed along the SR 442 and US 1 corridors.
This criterion has not been met.
2. Will the granting of the proposed variance result in creating or continuing a use which is not compatible
with adjacentuses in the area?
a. Applicant's Response: Just trying to continue business since 1993.
b. Staff's response: Yes, granting the variance will result in creating or continuing a use which is
not compatible with adjacent uses. Other businesses along US in the adjacent areas are
complying with the Ridgewood Corridor regulations.
This criterion has been not met.
3. Is the proposed action the minimum action available to permit reasonable use of the property?
City of Edgewater Page 4 of 6 Printed on 4/3/2025
7c,,wo lod ly I a>gls= rar nil
File M VA-2426, Version: 2
a. Applicant's response: Nothing else is necessary.
b. Staff's response: The applicant could meet the requirements by reducing the height of the
storage racks.
This criterion has not been met.
4. Are the physical characteristics of the subject site unique and not present on adjacent sites?
a. Applicant's response: "Nothing has changed since 1993. You could always see our materials in
our back yard. Building color was the same before the new building."
b. Staff's response: The subject property is a conforming lot meeting the minimum lot size, width,
and depth, with adequate room for compliant storage, however the uses are operating in a legal
non-conforming manner.
This criterion has not been met.
5. Are the circumstances creating the need for the variance the result of actions by the applicant or actions
proposed by the applicant?
a. Applicant's response: "The variance is because of a asshole neighbor we cant make happy.
Probably never will."
b. Staff's response: The business has had the same storage locations as far back as 2006 according
to aerial imagery. In addition, the building has had the same yellow primary color for at least the
past 10 years.
This criterion has been met.
6. Will the granting of the proposed variance cause substantial detriment to public welfare or impair the
purposes and intent of the Land Development Code?
a. Applicant's response: Absolutely nothing will change. We have always tried to keep our
business in top shape. Building color is the same as our business at 1670 Nova Road. We have
been selling Chlorine since 1995. Nothing has changed. When we had a 6' chain-link fence with
white slats you could see all my pipe racks. The NEW 8' high concrete wall hides everything in
the yard. We also have a buffer lot between our business and the east side neighbor.
b. Staff's response: Yes, though granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare
it will impair the purposes and intent of the Land Development Code Article III and XX.

28th, 2025. In addition, Public Notices were mailed to all addresses within 500' of the proposed project.

The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for outdoor storage for the business located at 1103 South
Ridgewood Avenue. The subject property is located on the east side of U.S.1 and currently is being used by All
Florida Plumbing. The business currently has been using the property for outdoor storage since at least 1995, so
the Conditional Use permit will bring the business up to the current code. The applicant's business tax receipt
has identified that the business has the following uses, general retail, and wholesale. The property has a Future
Land Use Designation of Commercial and is in the B-3 Highway Commercial Zoning District. Outdoor storage
with the B-3 Highway Commercial zoning district is only allowed as a conditional use permit and must meet
the regulations in the Land Development Code, Article III, Section 21-63.03- "Outdoor Storage and Display:
Commercial/Industrial".
Staff has reviewed the 11 subsections within Section 21-63.03 for Conditional Use Permits and found the
request is in compliance with the current requirements. Staff has reviewed the subject property with the
surrounding land uses and zoning districts and has found it compatible with the proposed uses in the adjacent
area. Staff received no comments or concerns from other departments for the proposed conditional use.
According to Section 21-36.03, Outdoor Storage and Display: Commercial/Industrial, requires that Outdoor
storage shall be screened from view by a six foot high stockade fence or masonry wall. In addition, this section
indicates that outdoor storage and display may be permitted in conjunction with uses allowed in certain
commercial and industrial districts. Outdoor storage or display shall not be located adjacent to any residential

district or use unless such storage or display is screened from the view of the neighboring residential district or
use. The subject property has an 8 foot tall masonry wall painted white, although there are a few storage racks
and a holding tank that are exposed above the masonry wall. The 8 foot wall is a significant improvement over
the slatted chain link fence that existed since 2007.
The land development code does not specify conditions for a conditional use permit for a distribution facility
and wholesale with distribution. The applicant currently receives wholesale product deliveries on E Turgot
Avenue.

Section 21-33-.03, Conditional Uses, of Article III states the following:
The use depicted as a"C" in the matrix (Table III-3)means that it is permitted in that zoning district only
after satisfactory completion of the conditional use process described in Article IX or the satisfactory
completion of a Planned Unit Development. Satisfactory compliance with the applicable project design
standards described in Article V and the concurrency requirements described in Article XI must also be
achieved prior to commencement of a project.
Within Article 9,Application Procedures, Section 21-92.04, Decision Criteria requires the following in
City of Edgewater Page 4 of 5 Printed on 4/3/2025
7c,,rNo lod Iry I a>gls= rar nil
File #: CU-2402, Version: 1
order for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted the P&Z Board must make a finding of fact that the CUP:
a. Is consistent with applicable land development regulations for the zoning district in which the property is located;
b. Is compatible with existing and proposed uses in the adjacent area; and
c. Meets the Concurrency Management System requirements described in Article XI.
According to Table III within Article III,the commercial future land use is compatible with the following zoning
districts,B-2, B-3, B-4, BPUD, MUPUD. According to Table III-2, Zoning District Descriptions,the B-3, Highway
Commercial zoning district is intended for high volume highway related commercial uses. Most of the properties in
Edgewater is zoned B-3 Highway Commercial and immediately adjacent behind is single-family residential homes.
The issue of compatibility has always been an issue between residential and commercial along USI. The Council
most recently approved modifications to Article V to allow commercial to residential building setbacks from 50 feet
to 30 feet with enhanced landscape buffers. The subject property and its use is operating as a commercial business
with industrial uses that require the conditional use permit. Staff believe with modifications to the property,
appropriate buffers and shielding could be provided to allow for compatibility.
Public Notice:
In accordance with Florida Statues Chapter 166.041, a Public Notice sign was posted on the site on January 28,
2025. In addition, Public Notices were mailed to all addresses within 500' of the proposed project.
Staff Recommendation:
Motion to recommend approval for CU-2402 for 1103 South Ridgewood Avenue.
