Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, as the City's file, in a new tab.
602 suspect passage(s) marked in place.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 19 voices separated from the audio.
39 short machine repair(s) (46 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 94.2% of 26,696 content words.
Dotted words (737 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
602 passages (22% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

map designation of said parcels from high density residential to mixed use, providing for the repeal of prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions, severability incorporation into the comprehensive plan, and an effective date and legal status of a plan amendment. Again, this is uh the first reading of this ordinance. Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much, Esquire Garganese. um ‸ this is a no-brainer but i will turn this over to uh mrs. Webster i think members from the neighborhood that this would impact we're in support of this at the think at the PNZ board but you can rectify me i mean correct me ma'am if um if you like if i made a mistake the floor is yours mrs. Webster
a future land use map amendment first so uh parcels along forest avenue also in uptown coco village and this is the first reading as was mentioned so so what we're requesting is uh an official amendment of the future land use map which is more of a housekeeping item a map cleanup that we uh would do periodically um and it's for a designation for these eight parcels um totaling approximately ‸ 1.9 acres and uh as city attorney described runs along forest avenue on the east side of forest avenue between peachtree street and mulberry street and so um and just also these parcels as i mentioned are located in the uptown sub district of the waterfront

about the relationship between future land use and zoning is that future land use categories are outlined in the comp plan which guides the long-term growth of the city and the zoning code defines districts in each of those categories and establishes regulations that enable development and all

land use category and a compatible enabling underlying zoning when these are in conflict with each other there are barriers to development with resolution there will be guidelines ‸ to follow in creating opportunity for improvement and redevelopment tonight we are proposing a future land use map amendment and so the subject properties they were zoned cc which is core commercial back in 1985 when the zoning district was created as part of the coco redevelopment agency plan
and that was a uh owner initiated request to rp and that at the bottom of the of your screen is just a little screenshot of the map from 1985 showing that it was cc at that time
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:19:09–00:19:09 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
option to rectify this was to um you know rezone uh to make it consistent with high density residential, but that would require a down zoning, which would really limit the future development for this area. And so we're proposing to change the future land use to mixed use, which is compatible with core commercial and residential professional zoning.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:19:38–00:19:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
you can see that CC and RP are already applicable zoning districts in mixed use. And just an overview of what's already there, just to kind of show compatibility with the surrounding area. You have a professional office, some vacant land, a few vacant properties. You have a vacant commercial building, a vacant parking lot associated with that commercial building.
the variety, it really is a true mixed use kind of corridor area uh there where you have ‸ just a variety of things between the library being industrial, excuse me, institutional zoning. And then you have some commercial and retail and multi-family So just a variety of um truly mixed use uh uses. And so part of our analysis was that uh
um Article 2, Sections 15, 10, and 11 for compliance with the comp plan to determine the impacts to budget and economy, levels of service, ‸ environmental impact, neighborhood compatibility, and housing accessibility. And the determination was just that the future land use change will not negatively or adversely impact the environment, neighborhood compatibility, or housing accessibility.
And there would be minimal impact on levels of service. uh The existing character is not expected to significantly change. And we also, of course, do a an analysis with the consistency consistency of the definitions in the comp plan where um with goal 1.1 um this change is uh to maximize the city's potential as a growth center while protecting the public health safety and welfare and appearance of the village
recreational, institutional uses along the major transportation corridor So we feel that this is um very in line and compatible and consistent with the current comprehensive plan regarding mixed use. And it does fit in with the characteristics of mixed use, which are transitional areas between high and low intensity uses and areas adjacent to those major corridors like 520,

that the City Council does approve the first reading of Ordinance 10 20 25 The City initiated ordinance amending the future land use map for the subject properties from high density residential to mixed use. And as um to back up with the mayor mentioned before, there was a few inquiries from the property owners and
uh but it was just kind of clarification on what the issue was about. There were no concerns after I provided clarifications. There were no objections at the planning and zoning meeting. So um if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer. Do
only in a parcel size and that was ‸ something that happened back in the 80s um but like i said if they they've been existing as they are legally for for a long time so there won't be any new non-conforming issues created by the by the future land use change

It's not going to change anything as far as uh we'll have to we would have to take a look at any new development, especially if it was a residential project, to see if the existing lot configurations or the minimum, maximum lot dimensions would accommodate. um

pleasure to be before you again um I've got a presentation just to walk you through what is as um was read into the record of an amendment to your land development code to establish an overlay district for four corners and this is ‸ intended to primarily uh bring the zoning of the of these properties into compliance with the comprehensive plan uh with the mixed use future land use category as well as establish some uh site-specific performance standards meaning setbacks, landscaping and treat this area differently as it is a key gateway um to

Village within the city. So this is again site specific it will only apply to the area being defined as the four corners there's a map in your package and I'll have that on the next slide. But we're generally talking about the key intersection of US Highway

This area is within your mixed use future land use category and the inconsistency we're trying to correct through this amendment is it's currently zoned commercial parkway.

parcel initially and based upon input received at Planning and Zoning Board discussing property owners and just direction um from the city we have removed that parcel and so now it's the those areas just right on the intersection that are that are hatched. So as I noted
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:31:38–00:31:42 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
community outreach workshops we did discuss a larger corridor but then bringing this forward tonight we're just looking at the that key intersection but I want to submit that this area in its entirety shown in the the yellow dashed line was explored relating to these standards. So what ‸ what is the issue? uh The city adopted the mixed use future land use category in 2010. this was a unique future land use category introduced into the code. It was intended to balance uh vehicle travel, the need to move vehicles safely around the city, but also acknowledge pedestrian bicyclists. Walkability is also important, especially as you transition from the uh west side of the city where you're near the I-95 interchange. ‸ As you transition to your downtown, you want to have a changing form along that corridor to invite uh pedestrians, walkability, encourage a mix of uses, and not have solely auto oriented type uses that are going to occur in your commercial parkway, just based on the uses allowed in that zoning district, as well as the development standards associated with it.
of um lack of of streetscape, uh orientation of parking lots interfacing with the street, um and travel lanes, and the placement of these buildings. So, in 2023, uh it was identified by staff that the CP uh district uh is not a consistent or an implementing zoning district for this future land use category. So, this is a a chart in your comprehensive plan, and the future land use element
was brought to you a few meetings ago when we talked about the ear based amendments. And this chart says, these are our future land use categories, and these are the zoning districts that are allowed in by each category. And you can see it was determined andand found that um
Flag: a language review questioned the wording; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:34:08–00:34:12 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
use was added in 2010. And they really are conflicting ideas, as noted, where commercial parkway, again, much more auto oriented in its intent, um whereas the mixed use was trying to encourage a more urban form to allow transition to downtown. So, to approach this issue, uh we started a community outreach in in late spring of last year and through the summerthe
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:34:45–00:34:50 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So, in addition to city kickoff meetings, we uh underwent a large and well attended community workshop that was also streamed online, and we met with um both of the cra's um and ‸ ultimately came to you all in August uh ‸ last year, um and walked through uh this similar elements of this presentation, and noted the uh out input we got through that community outreach um effort. And then we were directed by this council to embark upon the Land Development Code amendments to implement the vision of those meetings. And so we've been working since then to prepare these amendments. um We um have met with with property owners.
um Again, this would allow for first reading of this and then just transmittal of the comprehensive plan amendment, which is the next item on your agenda. um This is not a final adoption hearing. So in terms of of that outreach, just a couple of items to note. um It was very well noticed due to the good work by your city staff. This was noticed via mail, in the online, in the city newsletters. And we did have more than
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:36:02–00:36:02 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Flag: a language review questioned the wording; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:36:09–00:36:16 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
and got relatively consistent input ‸ on the types of uses that the city would like to see redeveloped over time within this intersection And so some of the imagery we wanted to introduce
these are these are large streets, you're going to again have to accommodate vehicles. So it's certainly a balancing act here. But how can we locate buildings, seating areas, landscaping, parking so that we are again balancing the ability of the pedestrian to use the space for someone to feel comfortable enjoying a coffee on on the outdoor seating there, even though they are very close to an arterial roadway. And we think through through good urban design standards,
and parking areas. There's uh streetscape plannings, including hedgerow, as well as trees to make the the walking environment more shaded and enjoyable, as well as aesthetically pleasing.
And so all these are our tools we can use in our land development codes to have buildings oriented in a way where they are more we call pedestrian scale, where it's more enjoyable for the pedestrian user. Also of note here, we we know we have chains ‸ we're gonna ‸ have retail chains like a Starbucks and and other things like that that want to come to town. We have to find a way to accommodate them. And you if you've traveled throughout the United States of America, you've gone to some places and you've seen you can see the same Starbucks and it looks terrible. And then you go one town over and you're like, this Starbucks looks great. And it's a function of the Land Development Code. The Land Development Code is saying you need a few more trees in there. You need to screen your drive-through so you don't see just cars queuing up in the front. You need to have safe access for pedestrians to get in off the sidewalk through the parking lot, etc. So it really is a function that starts in this room where you're providing standards that are gonna ‸ have outcomes that are attractive. And so we just did some imagery using 3D rendering technology. And just if you pull the building to the front, if you have different architectural standards and elements, you see here this is brick facades mixed in with stucco and uh undulating roof lines and and uh just building standards as well as through the landscaping the placement of the parking behind the building, you you get a much better result um in terms of again focusing that gateway to the downtown.
functional standpoint. and then lastly, the corner with the church also showing you can fit sizable buildings, but the the impact of of good building design, landscaping, and building placement is quite impactful. So getting into the meat of the the code change,
currently CP is not an implementing district so it's just the way it sits today on the zoning map it's inconsistent with your comprehensive plan so we would allow CP to be consistent but subject to these overlay standards that I'll walk you through so first of all, applicable applicability wise, it would only apply to these parcels that are hatched. There was a larger area addressed through the visioning, but this is what we're bringing forward
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:40:06–00:40:06 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
in a manner to maintain value or make repairs. So we worked on that and we did start off with with different thresholds and through input of the property owners, we did modify those thresholds to try to be more flexible for properties that are not compliant today with this code and do not want to have to come up to compliance immediately upon adoption so I'll walk you through that ‸ so minor developments would would trigger only certain requirements of this code to come into place. So a minor development or redevelopment would include the change of use or those projects that require ‸ minor site plan. If you're increasing expanding an existing building by

you're going to be pulled into some minor development requirements. Then anything over 50 or above is where you're going to come into fully complying with the code. So if you go in to renovate or expand your

with the minor elements of this ordinance. However, the property owners felt that was onerous and would limit in what they could do with their properties So we did

So you're going to put trees along the sidewalk. ‸ to create shade and make a more walkable environment. You would bring your signage up to code. You would ensure that you have a pedestrian sidewalk to get you from the roadway into the building. So that could be through pavers or just a sidewalk ‸ through the parking lot or a direct entry to the door. And then visual screen and site design elements. So that those are fairly minor in nature. These are these could be resolved by having a couple of planters with trees in them near the front decorative planters, a fountain feature, something to create some visual interest in the site. ‸ if
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:43:02–00:43:03 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that's where you would need to come into compliance with uses, with your building placement being redeveloped, etc so this is, this is not, uh easy stuff to digest. It's I'm throwing numbers at you and, um it is hard to wrap your arms around.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:43:29–00:43:30 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
um there's no gas station, but let's say there was a gas station within Four Corners. That's now not a permitted use. You can continue that use in perpetuity if you're not making any changes to it. You can enlarge that

we're not saying anyone needs to stop their business tomorrow. We're saying please continue. You can even make improvements to it beyond what the code allows. So um non-conforming uses can continue indefinitely as long as the building renovation or expansion is less
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:44:17–00:44:21 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
more flexible than your code. The code says if it's a non-conforming use, you cannot expand it at all. It stays exactly as it is. And then if you want to do anything to it, you need to redevelop it to the code. And so um this minor threshold is actually it's if you look at it this way, it's looking it's it's allowing for expansions to occur of these non-conforming uses. And then ordinary repairs. This we talked about this at length at the last PNZ was well, what if I need to put in a new AC? What if I need to paint my building? What if I need to do some stucco repairs to it? You're
the few codes I've seen this actually covers explicitly. You can do ordinary repairs to keep your building in good shape without triggering any of these thresholds. So um your non-conforming chapter covers that uh very well for existing business owners. Okay, so and looking at uses, I think that the a lot of what you're going to hear this evening is kind of disagreement on the uses. um We we did follow the direction of the visioning we did follow the direction when we came before you last summer of what types of uses we wanted to see neighborhood serving retail entertainment type uses
items that will add some interest to this area and and get people out maybe enjoying outdoor seating, etc. We did eliminate certain uses at the direction of council. And that was really limited to the package store and gas stations. Those are currently permitted in CP and
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:46:13–00:46:13 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the code today and what we're proposing gas station and package store go from being permitted to not permitted. New and used vehicle sales is currently a special exception and it's being moved over to not permitted. So those are the three big changes in terms of use. The other uses that we were discussing with property owners are not permitted today in CP and we're not proposing they be added to CP through this ordinance. as It's kind of going away from the intent we're getting but some of those uses discussed it was car wash, auto repair, um self-storage Those are not permitted today and we would submit that those would be conflicting with the intent of implementing your mixed-use future land use category. In addition to, we talked a lot about uses and triggering how to come into conformance with this. The rest of the ordinance is just really looking at design and and the visual aesthetics of these sites and proposing some um what we'll tell you are more flexible development standards than exist today in CP zoning. So we are reducing setbacks to get those buildings closer to the street. We want to have space for the landscape buffering, sidewalks, etc. But we are actually reducing setbacks which creates more ‸ buildable area on these sites. You're actually able to build a larger building.

There's lots of different architectural styles historically in the city. And we think there's a place for all those. We're just proposing some minimum standards to ensure that the buildings have. uh we'll call them We'll call it gingerbread. But some articulation along the roof lines, shutters, decorative roof that go along with the vernacular being proposed. So that if you want to do a Spanish style building or Mediterranean, you must include at least six elements so that the building actually embodies that architectural style. instead of looking like kind of uh minimal or or cookie cutter type uh style there And so this is imagery of old Florida, Mediterranean.
are the different architectural offerings We submit that this is entirely consistent with your comprehensive plan. This is, again, introducing a zoning district that will support and be compliant with your the underlying mixed use land use category that's been in place for 15 years on these properties. You have many policies throughout the plan that states uh the zoning and land development code should be consistent with the comprehensive plan. We also think this aligns well with your policies for um attractive development, creating a sense of place in

You mentioned um about package stores ma'am liquor stores. I know dare on the four corners not permissible but
where they tried to bring in a package store as well. Does that fall under the auspices of Senate Bill 180 or it does not? Or ‸ that's the question that maybe the city attorney or or or either one of the city attorney or the city manager can

sell my property. I put money in property nobody else wanted at the time. But that was my retirement. When you work for yourself, you don't put a lot of money away. So, I bought the land. And now I gotta sell it. And I'll tell you why I gotta sell it. I gotta sell it before I die, first of all. I would like to have my sister and me ‸ the only ones left in my family. I got some beautiful friends, which are going to get a good portion of it. But I got charities that I would like to give to while I'm alive and present it. I got quite a bit of money in that property and all, and plus where I live. So, it's important to me to see if what you folks are going to do about um making it so I have a code, so when I get somebody in there, they know if they can put it in. As you probably know, I had it sold sold. I had that sold for a lot of money and they said no uh car washes. It was a beauty. So anyways, that put a kibosh on there. Right now I'm trying to find out a couple of things things. One, what I can put there. Two, what I can't put there. So when somebody comes in I can say yes we can do it. When I went to sell that for the car wash and the code said car wash was legal. Now we go to the city to get a permit and they say no. We're waiting to find out if it's going to be an excuse.

let me let me try to help. Okay. um and so what's being contemplated tonight doesn't include Mr Brown's properties. um his properties have the same conflict between future land use and zoning. And so that's the issue for Mr. Brown. I think he did get a zoning verification letter from us. And so um so he has a zoning for the properties. He has a future land use, but they're inconsistent. And so therefore, he can't develop on this property.
perhaps. And so his issue is parallel to the issue that we're discussing tonight. Recall as a Mrs. Crespo, miss Crespo presented um earlier in the presentation, that was sort of the second phase of the visioning. um And so um
we, he he needs to clear up the inconsistencies so that it's clear what he can and can't develop or what the uses are on his particular properties there. And so that's the issue with regards to him being able to sell. I have talked to

and attended these council meetings in 2024 after that, at which this council, you know, took the input and and identified four uses that they wanted to be restricted. And that was the uh smoke shops, the car washes, the liquor stores, and gas stations. Those were specifically identified in the meetings of the
Flag: the machine readings disagree here; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:10:46–01:10:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
which council directed staff to go out and and address those uses. Though my client does own the smoke shop respectfully, he was okay with that use being eliminated. um ‸ You know, but he would be under the grandfathered and under the non-conforming use as we'll discuss later. Then when the ordinance came out, it took away all of the uses, both the smoke shop and the new and used automobiles uses under the guise of being pedestrian.

city that especially created just ‸ for these four corners in the city. And if it's such a good idea, why is that not across the entire area tonight for the first time we heard. That the smoke shop under the rule as presented tonight could expand 30% in size and still be grandfathered in and and be a conforming use under the code or non-conforming use, but permitted the 30% expansion is what
15% I met with the city manager and staff they did increase that to 30% respectfully. You know, thank you. But why do we have a different provision than any other section of the code?

CP district is a special exception same as you know respectfully mayor your church is a special exception in the zoning district now and now it's being made a permitted use we're requesting the same thing for new and used automobile sales and talking with the city manager he asked if we would be okay with removing the I think it's the agricultural and mobile home sales as as being allowed there and
we feel that that property has been a benefit to the city and it's not you know we're not contesting the architectural elements that the city is looking for for its sense of arrival. place
again, we respectfully would request be permitted as the church is being permitted in the new zoning district. finally the others will speak some more on the inconsistencies but I would like to point out that the
removing blight and for redevelopment. And that the city is supposed to work with the owners of the properties on the land use changes. ‸ On the land use changes. And this the policy is specifically states, assuming the property owner voluntarily consents,
affected here. Not half, but you know two of the corners. And they would consent to this, provided that the new and used automobile sales could be made a permitted exception or permitted use under the zoning districts. They would restrict themselves from agricultural equipment or mobile home sales within that use Finally, real quickly wrap up. They'll touch it on more. The city's conducted no economic studies on the viability of any of these proposed uses. And there's been no traffic analysis that removing the permitted uses now and making them inconsistent would do anything as far as the traffic counts. Nor the addition of new permitted uses, what those additional traffic counts would do to the pedestrian safety. So
intensive than some of the uses that are permitted now under the guise of being pedestrian friendly. But there's been no evidence from you know presented to the city as to that I just don't personally believe that adding a brew pub as a permitted use it where you're serving alcohol to people
So again, in conclusion, from my clients perspective, simply asking that we remove this dual standard that's being created as it relates to the major and minor developments, just leave it as the rest of the city code ‸ has with

Oliver is suggesting that it would be put in as a permitted use and they don't have an issue with um no ag equipment and no mobile homes. I think that's just my plain okay way of saying it.

run at that. Again, it's complex. But the the current code uh says non-conforming uses. There's there's one standard. The 50 rule is what it's commonly called. So if you have a non-conforming use and you enlarge it, expand it, renovate

Because that's how, we own a fair amount of commercial property, that's how redevelopment traditionally goes. The visioning is great.

haven't really had a chance to give any feedback on this. A lot of other people have given feedback, but not the four owners. And you're not going to get any redevelopment. You're going to have,
Starbucks. But if you don't talk to the four people who own it, you ain't going to get that. So, uh andand we wanted to make sure that the people get what they

says, uh meet with the owners and get the owner's input. So uh at that point, we finally get our meeting and we were opposed because the the proposed code is outlawing my two uses. So I've got a smoke shop and, you know, a used car dealership. And in talking with everyone, I understood that

was anywhere else in the city. Now, one of the issues that I do want to raise is the points that they had said about it being more permissive and allowing stuff. This is the first time that I'm hearing about this tonight, and I would really like my attorney to have an opportunity to review that actual code, because during our meetings, we tried to go through the code uh
need to know which one I'm supporting. What they said sounds good. I haven't seen code language that says that yet. And we I mean, I've been paying thousands of dollars to an attorney to see the code language and read the code language. And
just due to the way this process is kind of going before there's a vote or before I say whether I support it or not, I'd really like the opportunity to review it because uh the way that this process has gone has not been the greatest. uh But we want to work and we're committed to to working with the city to try and ‸ find a win for the for the citizens and the owners. So what I'm asking for tonight is Ii don't mind having a smoke shop, not as a permitted use. What I would like is
there or which I've had a tenant there as an owner to to get the same as a business and property owner. I'd like to be shown the the same uh be treated the same as we're treating the church. I would like that to be a permitted use for my car dealership. uh You know, and I'm like I said, i'm there's no opposition to uh not having a smoke shop there.
to reconcile what was said about having this new permissive major and minor thing. I i need to see that in the code because that's I haven't been able to see that yet.

or in the event that this is uh more permissive. I need to be able to review that because my previous review did not show it as being more permissive or equally permissive. um So that's all that we're asking. uh Just we're fine with conceding a smoke shop. I would really like that the use for um
Because right now, none of the owners support this. So we've got this thing where we're coming in and we're saying redevelopment and we're showing these pictures and stuff. All the people whose stuff it is are like, we don't want this zoning. You're not fixing anything for us. You're not solving any problems. You're making it more restrictive. we Personally, as an owner, I really want to work with the city and I really want to find something that works for the city and works for us. Regarding Senate Bill 180, Senate Bill 180 is pretty clear that if that is for the state says for a hurricane affected area, which we are, if you give zoning that is more restrictive, that the property owner can challenge that and that the city is going to have to pay attorney fees and all of that. ‸ I don't want that. I just want one of my uses protected and I'd like the rest of my stuff to be treated fairly. You know, that's iI we are not
I'm in the business of just trying to run my businesses and my properties. And that's what I want to do. ‸ And I'm here asking you to work with me because I haven't necessarily gotten the help that I've needed from the city up to this point
I don't want to do the Senate Bill 180 thing. It's not a win for me. It's certainly not a win for the people. It doesn't make me feel good. I don't want to do it. I just want to be able to run my car dealership. And like I said, I'll concede the other ones. And I'm just asking to be treated fairly like anyone else would be in terms of how the major and minor applies to being grandfathered in. So. That's all that I have. I'm happy to answer any questions.

It's going to be whoever comes to me. It's a small lot. My my big concern with all of this is ‸ and where my energy and focus and that my resources and money is trying to figure out the solution to my car dealership lot, because that's a much more profitable lot. uh The smoke shop is such a small lot on a small footprint. It's just going to depend what kind of tenant would want to come in there and would want to rent. But in terms of uh proportionally, in terms of my income, the much larger one across the street is the car dealership. And that's why that's why I'm willing to concede the smoke shop. I understand that it's unpopular and like I get that. And and, you know, hopefully there's some finding we had a financial institution that was in there before. So maybe a financial institution or, you know,
I got you. And when you say that, um you know, I agree the city should have met with the homeowners before any of this even started to say they wanted to do it. So um I'm sorry that that didn't happen, but uh try to work with you now. so I

There are no specific on uses, and there are no limitations on commercial uses in your future land use mixed use designation. ‸ It states that this category is to be applied to the us 1 and 520 corridors as the most intense commercial areas in

particular uses, and high quality development is something we can all agree on. The overlay district limitations on uses do not reflect the direction of the mixed use future land use or the CRA for commercial uses, and certainly don't reflect reality. The first, the top page on the exhibit that I've handed you shows you that the largest single landowner in the Four Corners area is FDOT. They have six

There's four lanes of travel on 520 with seven lanes at the intersection and plenty of right away to add to a widen 520. the second page in that package is the dot trips information. It's from 2024. The average daily traffic counts at 520 at that intersection are 28 000 cars a day. On

cars a day. The predominant use in this area is a regional transportation networks, including roadways and rail for freight and passenger service. The largest landowner's goal is to move as much traffic as as quickly and simply as possible along these two roadways. Traffic is never going to be any less in these intersections,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 01:36:39–01:36:43 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
traffic. You as a city don't control the right of way You don't control curb cuts, driveway cuts, signals, medians, road widenings, pedestrian crosswalks, bike lanes, sidewalks in the right of way or utilities. You want this area to be walkable, but
similar in size. And they're never going to get any bigger due to physical constraints. There's the cemetery, the railway, and existing roadways. There's no opportunity to assemble these small properties to larger properties to accommodate the uses that have been proposed. And unlike your uses downtown ‸ that you would like to see here, there's no on-street parking available to support any of these properties. there And they're not going to be large enough to handle employee parking and user parking for the users uses that have been proposed. Another factor of reality is economics. The overlay list of uses, lots of lovely ideas for proposed uses, but we live in the real world and projects have to be feasible. The rents have to be high enough to cover construction costs. The end users need the demographics to be profitable. And there has to be enough parking to support the use. My clients have owned this property since

engaged in to find users on the property. But the only serious interest they've had is for a gas and convenience store. And we really don't understand why this use is being villainized at this location. The intersection is exactly where you would expect to find this use, an intersection of the highest concentration of motoring public in the county. The product is something that most of us purchase regularly. It's not a vice. It can be legally sold to minors. And most people think it's a necessity. We think it's been villainized because it may not, some of the uses that you've seen may have not been designed with care. But it's possible to do so. The next sheets in your package are
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:39:42–01:39:42 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
I would urge you to focus on our property. The other owners are fighting to keep the uses they already have. They're fighting to keep the status quo. Our property is vacant. I don't blame those other property owners for trying to maintain the status quo. They're enjoying a return on their investment.
And they're they're motivated to do something with this property. This property could be the domino that kicks off other development in the area. So please leave our current zoning CP in place. And it and don't limit our uses that would make uh the CP zoning leaving the uses in place would make it in uh consistent with the intent of the CP district. You at one point thought CP zoning was the appropriate zoning on this property. And the intent of that district as set forth in your code is to serve the needs of the motorist and provide an amenable impression on the city. We can do that with a carefully designed product. We we can live with architectural standards. Just don't take away the CP uses. So I'm going to leave you with one final thought. Ask yourself this. What is worse for your community? A well-designed gas and convenience store that provides goods, services, employment, and tax base? Or a major intersection that screams to 30 000 cars a day that no one wants to make an investment in your community.

Well, I'm going to add one thing. We, uh my clients came to me in late 2023 about this problem. They, they knew they had a comp plan zoning inconsistency. They can't do anything with the property. What can we do? um ‸ we filed a rezoning application to down zone it, to

so um Stone Street was vacated. It was vacated to uh to do a Cumberland Farms, which is a gas and convenience store uh that, you know, we were trying to do with the city um when that took place. So
my background, uh what it is that I do for a living, uh which relates directly to the efforts that have been undertaken with this property. But before that, I just want to give you a little a little note and maybe share a little common sense with you guys. uh Like I said,
a six-year-old. um I have ayou know very energetic four-year-old. i have um ‸ I have, you know, very energetic pets, you know, dogs. I have a grandma that's 90 years old. She's, you know, she's‸ she's elder. um When we try to understand mixed use and what is mixed use and what isn't mixed use, let me give you an example. You don't have to answer. This is just for you guys to take home and think about it. Okay.
Mixed use isis a place that is walkable. ‸ I would, you know, I saw that you guys were passing the ordinance 1025. You guys know where that's located. You guys are locals. Pictured it in your brain. You would take your grandma there. You would take your kids. If you have kids, your grandchildren.
and you would probably go for a walk in that area. Very different than these four corners. This is not mixed use. We made a mistake in 2010 when we tried making this mixed use. Because we make a mistake doesn't mean, you know, doesn't mean that it, you know, that it has to continue being wrong because we can pass this.
if This is going to be your legacy. You know, it's probably going to continue to be challenged in the future because there will be no progress if we do this. That's not mixed use. If you guys wanted to go for a walk at

you know, and there was, you know, we're finding out that there was also the inconsistency, you know, with, uh you know, with, uh future land use and the Sony. You know, which was probably what was causing the delay when they came in. They said, you know, no, we're pulling out.

That's all. So we're trying to make something happen there. Right now it's a city. Vacant. My landscaper loves it. He cuts the grass every few weeks. He's the only one making money. It would be nice if we made a little money too. So, um yeah. So hopefully we could get to a place where everything works for everybody. And, uh

There's been no business impact estimate. I understand it's not required at this time, but I would think you would want to know the actual impact on these property owners before you vote on this. That has not been provided in their strict requirements of cost estimates and things like that that should be known to you before you vote on this ordinance. This four corners area is not Cocoa Village. The entrance to Cocoa Village is on Hewlett where you guys have paid to put in signage and decorations.

If you go through page eight, all of those things that are highlighted are things that were allowed previously are no longer allowed. ‸ If you look at the setbacks, the requirements for rear, that 15 feet is more restrictive. You look at the parking, that's more restrictive because you can't have it in front of the buildings. You look at the landscaping, that requires a 10 foot buffer. We only require a five foot buffer currently. ‸ Look at the canopy trees. They say they have to be three feet in height. They only have to be two feet in height right now.

My question is to the property owner on the South property. Um, so your dilemma is currently as the, uh, current, uh, use, you can't sell the property and have it or have it developed. Correct. ‸ So as outlined in the visioning pictures, there was a plaza, a commercial plaza, uh, that looked like it hosted multiple businesses. Um, I've heard that you went out and tried to get interest.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:09:28–02:09:29 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Yeah. So, so look, the, the situation here is that since it's a, it's a vacant lot, um, if, if you are to develop the property, if we get over this, the issue that's at hand, which is the inconsistency between the future land use and the zoning, and you're able to develop it, um, then you have the economic, the economics kick in and you know, the, the easiest path for this property would be a ground lease with the tenant paying for the development, because that's, that's what a ground lease is. Essentially they pay rent on the ground and then, you know, and then they, they, they, they foot the bill for, for whatever is constructed, you know, obviously they go through the permitting process.
property has been from, uh, tenants that are interested in doing a ground lease. And those are typically going to be national, national tenants, single tenant, you know, users. Yeah. So the interest that we've been able to garner outside of Cumberland farms, which was a real deal that was brought up on the, you know, the, the city has been as of recent, it's been to other gas and convenience stores.
to be able to navigate, uh, the inconsistency. They lost their deposit and they canceled the deal. They walked away. Uh, they weren't able to, you know, they weren't, they didn't close because they just weren't going to be able to get through with this. And you know, it was going to be a very good looking car wash. There's car washes that, you know, that have strict design criteria that make it work. But those are the main users. It's, you know, gas

those commercial businesses, um, they don't desire to be in a particular address. And so that's where the conflict lies and that's what make this decision so difficult for me.
a Sun Tree. Right. And so, and it's not, it's, they look at the bottom line where we looking at our desires. And I think that's, that's where the conflict is in far as decisions like this, you know, and I don't want to see, I don't think none of us want to see that corner being a desert, right? We don't, we don't want to see it empty. I think that's, that that's where I am right now. I'm very conflicted because I think the initial conversation, I know for me and members in my district started because of the railroad closing on Stone Street, all those different conflicts of, uh, community feeling left behind. Um, uh,
one time it was supposed to be a gas station, not a gas station community is in the uproar about what is it going to be. And, and now here we are, you know,

what, what, what I'm saying is, so it's a reality that we have owners that, that have a difference of, um, opinion, uh, in a financial, um, commitment for their properties that they're currently paying taxes on,
that's the, that they're, you're absolutely correct. But that there lies the conflict. So your attitude towards that, that's where, which is not a, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just letting you know, that's where the conflict lies. So that's what in these 10 minutes, you know, it's like, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a lot of thoughts and questions about what to do with that. And I just, I just wanted to make that, made that point.
that wasn't a, whatever the opinions that we have and thoughts that we have, I just know for me, it's going to be a very difficult decision on this to me, based on the conversations I've had with the owners.

there at Jolie Smith. And clearly beyond a shadow of a doubt, the citizens in that area, ask for certain things. They want to address the community as a whole issue because of the location. It is a food desert because that area, if we want to go to a grocery store and I'm aware that, that it is restrictive there to, um, not allow a, a, a grocery store ‸ there, but beyond a

of a dog, there's nothing says that a Krispy Kreme can't go in there or even Raisin Cane chicken location because that the car lot dealership used to be Bojangles.
There again, they're going to get in their vehicle and leave. And, but here we are still ‸ dealing with that issue there and the citizens of that area. And that is the reason why I want them to make, I'm a staunch supporter of capitalism. But then again, when the community asks for certain things, then we should address the community because the community votes. If we're going to get hardcore and, and grind knuckles, that community votes religiously. So on that note, you know, that's why they pay us the big bucks to make those difficult decisions.

above, much less parking for employees ‸ and and people who would come to say a clothing shop or one of those shops. So it makes sense to have stuff where people are moving through quickly. The picture that was brought up of the 7-eleven. There's a beautiful 7-eleven in Vieira at Vieira Boulevard right next to the ball fields that you don't even know it's a 7-eleven. It's brick. It's really nice. So I know that gas stations can be done well where they look they look very nice. It's the nicest 7-eleven I've ever seen. The all the owners, I mean, this happened in 2010 with the with the comprehensive plan making all their properties.
and for 15 years. Now I know the one gentleman bought his after that, but the council wasn't us. We weren't here then, but has put this on them and and now it's up to us to fix it. And I don't think going to a mixed use is the best way to ‸ do that. ‸ I like the idea of adding CP into the comprehensive plan. I know it won't fix
I thought they were nuts. But look, they've been a car dealership there for a long, long time. I mean, when we moved here in 1980, it was the chicken place.
so car dealerships have gone through there like crazy. And I mean, they I mean, they've done very well there. So I mean, it used to be the Kia dealership till they outgrew it.
again, they're willing to even put up more more plantings or whatever it takes to make. But that corner looks very nice. They've done a great job there. And let's see here. The economic, no economic study and that kind of stuff bothers me that nothing's been, nothing's been done on any of those fronts. Again, I, I just cannot see this being mixed use at all. I mean, I love the renderings when it first came out. I thought, oh, wow, that looks wonderful. Then I looked at the properties and could not figure out how those would work there.
know, ‸ they were not going along with this. And if without them, those lots are going to sit just the way they are. You know, we can't force somebody to build something there that we want. There's so let's make it where it's a win win. Let's do it so that the, the landowners and the city win by making them look nice, but allowing development there that goes with a corner that is deemed to be heavy traffic. And that's all I have to say.

much issues with it as well until I spoke to some of the residents within that community that will be affected. Uh, some of those are generational homes. People have been living there longer than I've been alive. ‸ And, uh, just thinking about recent events with the noise in the village,
of the village. Um, we've seen issues where they go straight to the Wawa, which, which we currently have now. And I can only imagine if that, if a gas station was built on that corner, uh, where those people would go, there you have another section of, uh, citizens that would be affected. And, um, I certainly don't want to tell property owners what to build, what they can or can't do. Uh,
um, I have a duty to them to keep the harmony within their communities. Uh, so that's where I'm at. That's my dilemma. And I just wanted to put that out there.
All right. Um, I'm a firm believer in being the great compromise. And let me read something to you that I'm just trying to be fair and equitable across the board. I want to do what's best for the community as a whole because of, you know, like you alluded to, you're right. Councilman,

we have staff sit down with the land owners and determine if there's a way that we could come along in conjunction with their attorneys, of course, that we can have a happy medium,
have a meeting. So I'm asking that we do postpone this first meeting for tonight. Sit down with staff and the land owners also have additional public meetings at Jolie Smith, like we did previously.

to five weeks from today, make a date certain at Jolie Smith Center. And in my opinion, I think we'll get an understanding where the community is at that particular date because we know community will come out. If they feel like it's important, they're going to make it a priority.

I'll talk based on what I heard and based on the feedback logistics there. And so, and so if we're going to be back in January, ‸ and it's going to be to me a workshop style meeting between staff, the planners, the property owners, and at which the public is invited.
They have reaction to that product. They have suggestions there. And so we'll go back and work on is there a gap that can be bridged. You produce that product in front of the public as a work session. They have an opportunity to go to get that product to go back and react to that product and the public does at the same time.
You know, again, you know, there's going to be cost involved with regards to, I don't know if what we have under the work order, the task order with RVI. ‸ But, but again, ‸ I think that the community would appreciate and again, you're building the product, you're building ‸ the compromise, if you will, in front of the public.

um, obviously giving us a reaction to the dialogue that's taking place and ultimately the product that's brought back to them prior to bringing it back to you guys. So,
would just my question. Well, would you meet with the owners? Probably more than likely going to be separately. I'm assuming. Will you meet with them in a prior to that first?

we get community come to meetings like that. They don't necessarily understand the complete process of step one, step two, step three. And just in my opinion, I could be completely wrong. But from what I've seen, if we give them a product, they know, like you said, they know what they want.

Well, it is direction of the council. And so and so for me, the way I envision this thing is is that we're sitting across the table. um They're sitting across the table. um we're we're We're talking concepts. We're talking disagreements. We're talking agreements. uh the community is there the community gets a public comment portion to react to all of those conversations all of that dialogue
to the community they may still have some disagreements with that but we ‸ bring that back to the community and maybe there's a second session and then a a‸ redrafting of of the proposal
um ‸ time is money obviously they're paying their attorneys over there like crazy I mean and that's more time that they can't do anything with their properties while we're again going back again and so I hate that for them because you know time is money it's going to cost the city more and it's costing them more um I mean I like the idea of of of holding off at this point because I do think maybe we can come to a compromise but to go through month after month series of meetings well however long that is

I think I need the city attorney and Mr. Oliver. Hey, on your letter, your letter was dated today. I think there's a clock that starts with his letter. And so, Anthony, I don't know how we handle that if we postpone the item.
okay bro You know, my clients here. If you give me a second to confer with him, I might see if we can ‸ postpone our letter, but I can't speak for the other property owners there. There's certainly discussion of sending their own letters to secure their own rights to attorney's fees should the city decide to proceed under Senate Bill 180. So if you ‸ just give me a couple ‸ minutes, uh we can come back to that part while you do the next item. These these gentlemen have been waiting here throughout our
