Planning commission recommends approval of Binti LLC rezoning and special-use permit
Summary
Commissioners moved to recommend approval of rezoning and a special-use permit for Binti LLC, endorsing staff and applicant-proposed parking and signage proffers and forwarding both items to the Board of Supervisors.
The Orange County Planning Commission voted June 20 to recommend approval of two items for Binti LLC: a rezoning application (23-9) with an updated proffer statement dated June 20, 2024, and a special-use permit (SUP 23-11) to allow fuel dispensing at a preexisting convenience store. Both recommendations will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.
Staff reported that an on-site meeting with staff and Commissioner Van Hoven produced a parking solution: the concept plan was revised to provide pull-through parking (no physical barrier) and signs requiring pull-through use. The applicant also added a proffer prohibiting digital signs except for fuel price displays at dispensers.
Kelsey Schleine, planner with Schimpf Engineering representing Binti LLC, told the commission the applicant had incorporated staff and commissioner concerns and submitted the proffer limiting digital signage. “We have a staff consensus, commissioner consensus on a parking solution,” Schleine said.
Commissioner Van Hoven moved to recommend approval of the rezoning with the corrected proffer date (06/20/2024); the motion was amended, seconded and passed on roll call. Commissioners also voted to recommend approval of the SUP with the conditions outlined in draft resolution 24-09.
The commission’s recommendations are advisory; the Board of Supervisors will consider the rezoning and SUP at a future meeting. Meeting minutes record that staff and the applicant will transmit updated documents (proffer statement and conditions) to the Board for its review.
