Planning board recommends second amendment to Williamson Crossing PD to allow Valvoline oil‑change use with garage‑door waiver

The Daytona Beach Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of a second amendment to the Williamson Crossing Planned Development (DEV2024-772) to allow vehicle repair and servicing on Parcel 1, Lot 3 to accommodate a Valvoline oil-change facility.

Luke Rinkas, the staff presenter, told the board the amendment adds vehicle repair and servicing as a permitted use on Parcel 1, Lot 3 and adds exhibits for signage, architecture, boundary survey and landscape plans. The amendment includes a waiver to allow the glass garage doors shown on the applicant's architectural exhibit in lieu of the strict exterior-wall architectural requirements in Land Development Code section 6.124(b)(i) and (iii). "Staff finds the requested rezone meets the criteria in sections 3.4(d)(3) and 4.8(b)," Rinkas said, recommending the board forward the amendment to the City Commission with a recommendation of approval.

Applicant representative Parker (last name given as Burke/Minchenberg in the record) explained the proposed building elevation and said the glass garage doors are typical for low‑roofed vehicle-service facilities. He noted the location sits near an existing racetrack gas station and will serve nearby apartments.

Board members asked a few design questions (several described the building as resembling a fire station) and requested confirmation that truck storage would not be permitted; the applicant said vehicle storage is not the proposed use and the facility is expected to be a lower‑volume generator (an applicant estimated 40–50 oil changes per day). Staff recommended approval and the board voted to forward the amendment to the City Commission; the motion passed by voice vote.
