PROPERTY OWNERS MEGYN MOBLEY, ITALIAN CASTLE LLC PARTIAL I ID243333001006.
IN SUMMARY THERE'S A REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM THE COUNTY'S ZONE AR-1 TO THE CITY'S ZONING E-1. SITE LOCATION 20.6 ACRES GIVE OR TAKE. LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THE PROPERTY AND ZONING.
ON AUGUST 19, 2024 ANNEX INTOED THE CITY AND RETAINED THE COUNT KAIES ZONING.
3.53 ACRES RETAINED ZONING OF COUNTY RELIGIOUS FACILITY. 3.47 ACRES RETAINED THE COUNTY ZONING OF COUNTY INSTITUTIONAL AND 13.14 ACRES RETAINED THE COUNTY'S ZONING OF COUNTY AGRICULTURAL. AS HIGHLIGHTED HERE. HERE IS A MAP OF THE ZONING AS
[00:05:02]
IT STANDS IN THE AREA WHERE WE SEE THERE'S SOME ZONINGS CURRENTLY STILL THE MAP SHOWS THE CITY ZONING AS WELL AS ST. LUCY COUNTY ZONING AND AGAIN THIS IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, WHAT SOUNDS ST. LUCY COUNTY ZONING. ACCORDING TO THE CITY ZONE E-1 INFORMATION SECTION 125-188 SPEAKS OF THE LOT SIZE FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING SHALL BE AMENABLE OF 30,000 SQUARE FEET. MINIMUM LOT WIDTH, 100 FEET. MINIMUM LOT DEPTH 200 FEET AS WELL AS IT SHOWS THE YARD SETBACKS WHICH IS 85 FEET FROM THE FRONT 15 FEET FROM THE SIDE UNLESS IT'S A CORNER WHICH IS 2M THE REAR. LOT COVERAGE ACCORDING TO THE CITY CODE NO MORE THAN 25% OF THE LOT SHALL BE COVERED WITH THE BUILDING.THE PROPOSED ZONING CITY FROM AR TO THE COUNTY TO E-1 SINGLE FAMILY DENSITY.
20.06 ACRES AND THE LAND SIZE IN SQUARE FEET IS 873,814. THE PROPOSED REZONED APPLICATION MEETS STANDARDS OF SECTION 125-188 THEREFORE STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR PLANNING BOARD TO MOVER PROPOSED REZONING APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO THE CITY COMMISSION WITH THE PROPOSED ZONING DESIGNATION. ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE TO RUN WOMEN APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS OR TWO RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MS. TREVOR. QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? >> DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER MAP THAT
PULLS AWAY FURTHER THAT WE CAN SEE MORE GROUND AROUND? >> I CAN PULL UP A MAP IF THAT'S
THE REQUEST. >> YEAH. >> OKAY.
SO HERE IS THE PROPERTY AREA IN QUESTION FOR REZONING. THIS IS THE VINE ROAD SOUTH 25TH
STREET. >> THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE ARE LOOKING FOR?
>> I JUST WANT TO SEE -- WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF RESIDENTS AROUND IT.
THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO PULL BACK THE -- >> SURE.
>> SEEING WHAT'S AROUND IT. >> SO I WAS WONDERING ABOUT -- SO IT APPEARED THAT DURING THE ANNEXATION PROCESS THAT COUNTY ZONING WAS RETAINED AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE ZONING ATLAS MAP AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE IS TO BRING THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROPERTY UNDER A
NEW SINGLE CITY ZONING, IS THAT CORRECT? >> THAT IS CORRECT, CHAIRMAN.
>> SO ALL THREE, THE CURRENT ZONING, THE RFI AND AREA WILL BE UNDER CITY ZONING?
>> E-1. >> UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CITY ZONING DID TRC FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE CURRENT BUILD ON THE PROPERTY THAT ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE E-1
REQUIREMENTS? >> NO, SIR. THERE WAS NO -- THERE WAS NOTHING -- NO CONCERNS OF THE COMMENTS THAT CAME FROM TRC REGARDING THE CURRENT, THE
[00:10:03]
EXISTING STRUCTURE AS IT RELATES TO CITY CODE. >> OKAY.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ST STAFF? OKAY.
I SEE THE APPLICANT IS HERE. PLEASE COME FORWARD? >> YES, SIR, MR. CHAIRMAN, FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS DENNISE MURPHY HERE REPRESENTING THE ITALIAN CASTLE, YOU PRETTY MUCH, CHAIRMAN, SUMMARIZED WHAT THE SITUATION WAS. THIS WAS ANNEXATION, I BELIEVE, IT WAS ONE OF THE UTILITY AGREEMENT ANNEXATIONS WHICH AUTOMATICALLY HAPPENS AND SOMEWHERE WHEN THAT AUTOMATICALLY HAPPENED THE ACTUAL ZONINGS ON THE PROPERTY AND LAND CLASSIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY WEREN'T CHANGED PROPERLY.
SO THIS IS PART OF A CLEANUP MEASURE FOR THAT BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
THE AR1 ZONING DISTRICT WHICH IS THE BULK OF THE PROPERTY IS UNDER AND THE COUNTY IS ROUGHLY, I'M USING IN BROAD TERM, ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO E-1, SO PRETTY MUCH LATERAL CHANGE.
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING CHANGING AT THIS POINT IN TIME ON THE PROPERTY.
>> OKAY. >> SO I WOULD APPRECIATE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COMMISSION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? >> ANY FUTURE PLANS TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY?
>> FUTURE PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY BUT DO IN THE INCLUDE SUBDIVISION.
I WILL BE PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS. I WILL BE COMING IN FRONT OF YOU IN THE MEETING IN NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE ABOUT SPECIFICS OF THE PROPERTY WHICH I CAN'T GET INTO BECAUS THEY ARE STILL BEING FLUSHED OUT BUT THERE'S NO REAL DENSITY ON THE PROPERTY.
>> ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> WHILE I FINISH -- >> IF THERE'S ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS APPLICATION PLEASE COME FORWARD.
SEEING NONE, I WILL SEND IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
HEARING NONE, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME. >> I MOVE FOR APPROVAL.
>> HANG ON A SECOND. DO WE HAVE CONDITIONS ON THIS ONE?
>> NOT. >> IT'S JUST A ZONING ATLAS CHANGE.
>> ONE MORE TIME. >> I MOVE FOR APPROVL. >> OKAY.
>> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY MS. CLEMNS SECOND BY MR. EDWARDS, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
>> MR. WHITING? >> YES. >> MR. EDWARDS?
>> YES. >> MR. JOHNSON? >> YES.
>> MS. CARTER? >> YES. >> MS. CLEMENS?
>> YES. >> CHAIR CHRYSLER? >> YES.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I ALWAYS APPRECIATE THESE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO CLEAN THESE THINGS UP WHEN THEY COME ABOUT, SO ALL RIGHT. WE HAD -- THIS WAS IT ON THE
AGENDA, RIGHT? >> THAT'S IT. >> AWESOME.
WELL, WE MOVER ONTO ITEM 237 COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC IF THERE'S ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD ON MATTERS GENERALLY TO PLANNING, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT
[8. DIRECTOR'S REPORT]
THIS TIME. SEEING NONE WE WILL MOVE ONTO OUR DIRECTOR'S REPORT.>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. BOARD, JUST BACKGROUND INFORMATION JUST AS THIS PREVIOUS APPLICATION CAME FORWARD WITH COUNTY ZONING STILL IN PLACE IT WAS APPROVED AND ACCEPTED IN THE PAST FOR EXPEDIENCY TO BRING IN PROPERTIES THAT WERE UNDER AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH FPUA INTO THE CITY, NOT CAUSED DISTURBANCE TO THE EXISTING USES ON THOSE SITES BY RETAINING THEIR EXISTING COUNTY DESIGNATIONS.
SO PEOPLE SOMETIMES SHOCKED THAT THEY SIGNED AN AGREEMENT AND FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE ARE TAKING ACTION AGAINST THAT TO BRING THEM INTO THE CITY THAT THEY DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SIGNING SO TO EASE THAT TRANSITION WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS RETAINING THE COUNTY FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING HERE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES THAT WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND SO AS WE MOVE, AS PEOPLE, PROPERTY OWNERS IDENTIFY THAT THEY ARE IN THE ZONING, THERE MAY BE OPTIONS AND THEY WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU FOR RATIFICATION OF ZONING AND THE APPLICANT CORRECT. THIS WAS CLOSEST ZONING THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY TO WHAT ALREADY EXISTS THERE. SO IT'S -- DOESN'T CREATE ANY NONCONFORMITIES SO EVERYTHING IS GOOD. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE
[00:15:06]
THAT MAYBE AS THEY COME ALONG IN THE FUTURE THAT WE WILL BE IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.WE DID SUBMIT THE EAR REPORT AND GOT RECEIPT FROM THE STATE. THE CITY COMMISSION DID ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING BOARD IN TERMS OF ANNEXATION, LANGUAGE AND THAT, SO THAT WAS GOOD. THAT WENT THROUGH FAIRLY EASILY. WE ARE WAITING NOW TO HEAR COMMENTS BE RETURNED BY THE STATE TO STAFF AND IF THERE'S ANY AMENDMENTS TO THAT WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED BUT THOSE WILL GO TO THE PLANNING COUNCIL AND THEY WILL ADVICE US WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. IF IT DOES NEED MAKING RIGHT. NOW, ON THE 19TH OF THIS MONTH WE HAVE A TLC MEETING WHERE WE LOOK AT THE FIRST REVIEWS OF APPLICANTS -- APPLICATIONS COMING FORWARD AND THERE'S TWO APPLICATIONS ON THE EIGHT ITEMS THAT ARE ON THERE.
I JUST WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW IF THEY GO THROUGH THEIR REVIEWS CORRECTLY YOU'LL BE SEEING THEM SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE AND SOMEONE JUST UPDATE ON SOME THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AROUND TOWN. ON KING'S HIGHWAY IN THE COMMERCE PARK WE HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR AMAZON ONE GROCERY WHICH IS LIKE A DISTRIBUTION HUB FOR WHOLEFOODS OR NATURAL FOOD RETAIL OUTLETS. SO THEY WANT TO BUILD 1.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF SPACE OUT THERE WHICH A LOT OF OF THAT WOULD BE REFRIGERATED, SO THAT WILL BE COMING TO THE BOARD ONCE THAT GETS THROUGH REVIEW COMMITTEE.
WE ALSO HAVE QUITE A LARGE ANNEXATION BEING PROPOSED OUT ON GODY ROAD BETWEEN WHAT IS WEST OF 95 AND TURNPIKE SO PROBABLY THE FURTHEST WEST THAT THE CITY WOULD GO AND SO I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF DISCUSSION ON WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS ANECKATION.
126 ACRES. IT'S CLOSE TO 10-MILE CREEK. IT'S CLOSE AND ADJACENT TO THE PRPREVIOUS DGODY ROAD SO SOUTH F THAT. WE SEE REDIRECTION BY THE CITY COMMISSION ABOUT RESIDENTIAL AND ALL THAT STUFF GOING ON. WE WILL BE ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF THE DEVELOPER ON THIS AND A AND ALIGNING WITH THY COMMISSIONER'S POINT OF VIEW.
>> WHAT WAS THE DATE OF THE TRC MEETING? >> THAT'S THE 19TH.
THERE ARE OTHER -- OBVIOUSLY ANOTHER SIX ITEMS BUT MAINLY MINOR AND SMALL-SCALE THINGS COMING FORWARD. WITH THAT THAT ANNEXATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT MOVING FORWARD IN THE SAME MEETING SO, YEAH, THAT'S A BIG REVIEW GOING ON IN THE MOMENT.
SO, CHAIR, THAT'S MY UPDATE FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU MR. FREEMAN.
ALL RIGHT. WE WILL WRAP UP HERE. ITEM 9, BOARD COMMENTS.
ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING? >> NO, BUT WE NEED TO DO CONSIDERATION -- WELL, WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ABSENCE. I WAS GOING TO SAY -- I POSTPONED CONSIDERATION OF
ABSENCES BUT YOU'RE NOT ABSENT. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. >> THANK YOU.
LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE GETTING OUT OF THE OFFICE TODAY. SO THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, HEARING NO OTHER DISCUSSION I BELIEVE WE CAN
ADJOURN. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
