Commission approves Sun Bros Coffee redevelopment plan for small downtown site
Summary
The commission approved a redevelopment special exception for Sun Bros Coffee at 14 South Young Street, allowing a drive‑thru coffee use on a narrow, previously nonconforming lot after the applicant reduced impervious area and met landscaping and sign waivers.
The Ormond Beach City Commission approved a development order granting a special‑exception redevelopment plan for Sun Bros Coffee at 14 South Young Street, authorizing the coffee use and associated site changes on a narrow, nonconforming former vehicle sales lot.
Why it matters: The site sits just south of the U.S. 1/Granada corridor in a B‑4 commercial district. Staff and the planning board concluded the applicant reduced impervious surface from 95% to about 75% and proposed landscaping and parking that met the site’s constrained geometry. The planning board recommended approval 6-0.
Details: Planning director Steven Spraker summarized the waivers the applicant requested: reduced side‑yard landscape width (the site can provide 3 feet where 12 is standard) and two wall signs totaling 41 square feet where the code would normally allow a smaller sign. The site will be used principally as a drive‑thru coffee operation; an applicant engineer was present and staff said they would consult with FPL about an on‑site pole that could conflict with the driveway alignment.
Outcome: Commissioners voted to approve Resolution 2025‑44 on a roll call. The approval establishes conditions and an expiration for the special exception redevelopment plan; the applicant must still complete required permits and any utility coordination.
Ending: Staff will finalize the development order with the conditions approved by the commission.
