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. No recording can be started from here.
438 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 22 voices separated from the audio.
45 short machine repair(s) (61 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 and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 95.7% of 21,864 content words.
Dotted words (411 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
438 passages (17% 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.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
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.

the CRA plan be amended to include some components related to community policing. And so consistent with our comp plan policy, 1.1.4.9, the City shall review and update the redevelopment area plans.

for the modification of the plan, as I noted, was because of the CRA had requested to have community policing efforts increased within the CRA, preferably within the village area to include components related to nighttime traffic enforcement, nighttime enforcement of the bars and the restaurants, and specifically on weekends. So with the redevelopment plan, we abide by Florida statute 163.360. And part of that says that we have to conform to the comprehensive plan of the city. And we did a thorough review of the comprehensive plan and we have no existing goals or objectives related to community policing within the comprehensive ‸ plan. But we do have some indirect goals and initiatives that are related to the community policing efforts, which are the future land use policy 1.1.4.1, 1.1.4.3, 1.1.4.5, 4.9 and 4.12, which helps promote the vitality and redevelopment of the community redevelopment areas. And we want to be able to redevelop the business district as a viable district.
and coordinate redevelopment issues with the private sector to promote mobilization of public and private resources. So it is staff's belief that the proposed amendments that we brought forward to the CRA last night and that are bringing forward to you tonight are consistent with and do not conflict with any provisions of the comprehensive plan. The timeline, as I noted earlier, was last night we had our COCO CRA meeting and they approved the draft. Tonight is our planning and zoning meeting with consistency review. ‸ Next Tuesday we will have a special COCO CRA meeting to approve the final draft. And then we will have our council meeting on September 27th and our final council meeting on October 11th to approve and approve the ordinance amending the CRA plan. So staff is requesting whether or not you agree with the plan and whether or not

a president ‸ from District 1 announced that he was proposing a pilot program to extend bar hours in the village until 4 a.m. Now, I don't know where that stands at this time, but I'm wondering here, it talks about Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights between the hours of 10 and 3.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:07:05–00:07:09 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
about the pilot program was what was presented back in April. We have not had it presented back to us for staff to do any research regarding the 4 a.m. bar closures. At this time, we...
That type of change would probably be another minor amendment, which may or may not have to go before the land planning agency. It's just a time change as far...
Yeah, I think that would be the case, that there would be an amendment. I mean, I suppose that you could suggest that you, you know, include up to 5 a.m. now just, you know, to save yourself an amendment if that's necessary. But I'll let Charlene speak to that.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:08:35–00:08:37 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:08:48–00:08:48 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Anything later than that, like 3, 4, or 5, to me, is showing if I was to read it, since I am connected with the restaurants in the downtown area, that eventually it's going to be okay to extend the hours. And
I don't want it to become a bar village. That's not what we have. So by adding a limit to the time, is that something that we should consider or not, Charlene? Should we leave it alone and not end up having to deal with amendments and all that later?
the time frame, that's more of a desire from the CRA. So I can bring that request back to the CRA when I present them with the final draft, asking them to either note it at 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. or to add the one hour after the bar closes and let them decide ‸ how they want to do it.
you. As staff, I don't think that we are in a position to provide an opinion on what times the bars and restaurants should close in the village at this point without doing proper research. ‸ If
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:10:51–00:10:57 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
‸ Right. And that one hour mainly is because the bars that we have now close at 2 and it allows an hour for people to leave the area and go home. So we would have the police that's there overseeing it
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:11:13–00:11:13 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Correct. The presence would be there for one hour as they make their way back to the parking spaces, ‸ whether it's at Lee Winter Park or here at Oleander Parking.

So ‸ if we amend it to that, then that saves everybody one step. The other thing is that Cocoa Village gets a lot of traffic, especially Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Do we feel that two officers is the best we could do? I mean, I know, I
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:12:26–00:12:31 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So, so that is the recommendation that the CRA was able to, as far as fiscally accommodate, because they only receive limited dollars every year towards programs and operations. So that amount is, is what they've established as far as two officers.
for an increase as necessary, but it would have to go before the CRA board to add the additional dollars in order to approve that. So it's not out of the question and it could be increased as, as the need arises. It would just have to come before the CRA for approval to add to the budget. Okay.
Is that on the table at all? So, and I can't speak for the police department completely, but each of the, the, the city is divided into five different zones. Right. And there are officers that are assigned to those zones to patrol as a regular daily need.
they can throughout each of the five districts. And so I, I don't know the numbers because I'm not, I, I'm not given that operational, um, number and it shouldn't be divulged out to everybody.

So, but, but as far as we know there are, there's adequate staffing in each of ‸ the districts, um, during the times that between, before 10 PM and after 3 AM.

So, um, I, I totally support this. I, I think one hour task bar closure is good, but I'd like to see it conveyed to ‸ CRA that we would perhaps they should consider more police coverage.

I'm not the police chief and don't want to to speak on those, those timing. But it does that Rockledge was asked to respond is, is because we have a mutual aid agreement with them to respond if necessary.

I don't really have that data to even answer that question because I have not been given any feedback from any of the business owners. I think Mr. Greenwood, who is part of the commercial property owners group, can probably speak better on that than I can.

agenda with the city. It was something that was open discussion, I guess, to get feedback on how people would react to it. But I can tell you now that the commercial property group that I'm involved in, I guess the best way to explain it is that we don't want to become a bar village because we've become successful as we are.

from the council member that you're talking about is anything that he is pushing, uh, to bring before the council that I know of as this point. However, the discussion that was brought up was not received favorably by the majority of the, uh, commercial property group owners in the downtown area. So just to help answer your question.

site plan after one year or within that one year timeframe. Um, and the applicants did request in accordance with the code and extension. The request was processed and granted on December 3rd, 2021 by the community services interim director.

Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Um, and basically ask for your, um, approval of the entire one year extension. As we feel that that is the right thing to do, because the letter that did go out set up for the applicant to, um, put into their works, a, you know, a one year extension. And that has been what they are working towards. They have been, uh, in the background working towards their building permit, knowing that it's at their risk depending on what happens tonight. Um, ‸ but they are diligently moving forward with this and they are in the audience tonight, um, to answer any questions. Should you have, um, any questions, but staff is definitely recommending approval of the extension until December 15th.

Indian River Drive and Dixon This is the applicant's conceptual idea of the fourplex on the property. the current future land use as I have stated is very low density residential the proposed is to go to medium density residential the next application should we discuss is for the zoning but the current residential zoning on there is residential estate and the applicant is also proposing to take it to an RU215 zoning which would make it consistent with the change in the future land use that we are discussing right now the existing use of the property is vacant and is also heavily fully vegetated. ‸ It is in Council District 2. This is a map of the future land use. You can see the future land use existing around the parcel. It is on three sides bound by a residential, uh very low density residential future land use. to the north of the property you have the medium density residential future land use which is why staff is recommending approval of this application because it is consistent with the property across Dixon

analysis in the staff report, that this petition meets the requirements for amending ‸ the City of Cocoa future land use map. Staff finds no budgetary impacts to the city with this application. Staff also finds the ‸ proposal consistent with the comprehensive plan future land use element policy 1.1.2.4 regarding consistency with the intent of the medium density residential future land use classification. And also staff and all reviewing agencies have examined the petition for meeting the levels of service, be it water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste, transportation, all those items have been looked at.

I would look to your staff report, which you have in front of you for this item for the final recommendation versus a slide that I have before you, which is page six of six of this item, which has the recommended motion correctly versus my slide.

Thank you, Chairman and the board for letting me being able to give you some additional information on what's before you. I want to suggest that this is a project that will further enhance what is proposed from across the street, which would be a continuation of the project that was approved across the street.
And because it's a slope, the driveway, which is Dixon Boulevard, the road, of course, the heights are a little different because of the slope of the road. But basically that apartment building has been there for quite some time.
It's going to be heavily wooded. There's walkways that's going to be planned to go through that area as well. And I feel that this will be a first class project like I have done in other areas of the city.
my properties in the village as well. So it's going to be a top class, top level project. And I'm also planning on living in one of the units. I understand from staff that there's a radius that goes out for everybody that needs to be notified of what I'm wanting to do in the property.

So I'm adjacent to this parcel. And the River Road is absolutely, I think, the most beautiful road in Florida. I've always thought it since I was a child. It's got some history. All these parcels, there's four altogether, were broken up in 1999 and sold by the original Dixon grandchildren of ‸ the family. And 1889, the permit was filed for the houses that you see on that corner. So they're very historical. And I think that they should be treasured. In that area of the River Road, those are the only historical homes remaining.
And as he stated, I'm really concerned also. You can see water standing on that land all the time. We have a little drainage ditch that runs behind our property and out through a culvert that goes out into the river.
usually it's enough to keep the water off our yard, but not always. Our backyards do flood pretty routinely. So this is a huge concern. Also a concern is the aesthetics of having a big modern building next to our ‸ historical antique homes.

‸ And, you know, the word is getting out with the Southern Living article. But we ‸ have to protect the things that make us special.

halfway up my ankle. So we don't know what the work is going to do. I'd be worried too. We forgot to mention the foxes that live there too. Yes. They visit our yard sometimes late at night.

the concerns that were brought up and they're legitimate, but there's more information that's not being made available. As far as the water, there is a drainage problem on the corner of Dixon and Indian River Road. It always has been. ‸ What's going to need to be required is that street to be elevated to avoid the water retention that happens when you have major storms. Also,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:50:22–00:50:26 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
The reason that there's water area in the area of land that's out in red is a combination of things. There is insufficient drainage being brought from Dixon Boulevard into that lot. The reason why that I know this is that this is information that my partner and I have looked into, which is that's going to be required to be fixed. Also, a lot of people are concerned that this is going to be something that's not going to be addressed. The building department cannot allow any issues as far as drainage and other negativities like that for anybody to pull a permit unless they're addressed and the methods that it's going to take to correct it. So the water issue would be something that would be dictated by the St. John's water district and also what the building code requires. The other thing is the ‸ state use. That front lot is still residential will always be. That's not what's going to be changed.
Road for the property that I have in red. You cannot see that it's completely changed. Modern. No, it's not going to be modern construction. When you're a developer, you want to blend with what's around there. And specifically, the existing apartment building is not historic.

of it that can be built and all along the River Road is strictly ‸ residential, just like the opposite corner. The rest is multifamily, multi story. Also, these two lots are state use size lots. And what I'm proposing to build there is almost similar to what I can build as a single family house.
can go as three stories high and it can encompass the whole site plan that you've seen ‸ earlier. That's what I could build without a change of zoning. And the same thing goes for the other lot that's facing the river. They're both zone that and you're allowed to build to that. Let's see history that there is no nothing that's going to affect the history of the area. This is going to help bring in extra tax monies as well to help pay for infrastructure for the city. And it's called growth, depending on the needs for the area.
So there's going to be a lot of upgrades with the sewage line that is looking to do all along River Road that you all are probably very familiar with. Let's see. Anything involving owls or birds and all that, I think animals are better than people. So, you know, there's no way that I would ever be in a position to harm any of them animals there or whatever is located there. We will address it according to what the code requires. It won't be modern as a developer. You don't want something that doesn't blend with what's around you. The multifamily townhomes that are scheduled for across the street. I've seen some elevation views of that years ago and they're not they're very they're not ultra modern. They're not anything like that. Also, all that property recently sold and all the property.

Um, staff has reviewed the petition in accordance with the criteria in appendix a, and I will go through that in a little bit more detail based on my staff report then with you. Um, so if I'm going

Um, the proposed change would be contrary to the future land use map and would have an adverse effect on the comprehensive plan. Um, based on your first decision, uh, this would, this item would not be consistent with the future land use map. Change or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed amendment necessary. Um,
how do I want to say this? So staff is finding that currently today we are getting a lot of applications in the city for higher density. Obviously it's smart growth. Staff is supportive of smart growth. Um, you've just heard in the last few months, you've heard of our

sign of the times right now with the current economy, whether or not the proposed change will have adversely influenced living conditions in the neighborhood. Staff does not believe that an ‸ increase of three units will add adversely affect, um, the living conditions in the neighborhood. Whether or not the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or otherwise affect the public safety. Again, staff does not believe this is going to happen. Whether or not the proposed change will create a drainage problem. Staff does not believe that this will happen based on the requirements with our public works department, the shank St. John's water ‸ management system and other engineering controls that exist today. We find that typically, um, future development makes these situations better because it, all of these items are required to be addressed. Whereas in the hit in past history, they have not always been required to be addressed. Whether or not the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent area. Staff does not believe that this will be negatively ‸ affected. Whether or not the proposed change will be detrimental to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations. Again, we do not feel that this is going to alter that in any way. Sorry, there's just a couple more. whether or not the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner
Again, we do not feel that this is an adverse impact. Whether or not there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with the existing zoning. This goes back to my other answer. Yes, they have the ability to,
construction market, we are getting a lot of these requests. So we do feel that it is, um, legitimate to consider these requests and bring them before you. Whether or not the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood. No, again, this kind of goes back to the similarities of the height, um, that was previously discussed. Again, the, um, the zoning code for both zoning districts allows you to do the same thing.

So I'll be brief. There's a lot of wildlife that's down there. There are springs in the area, I think. And with all due respect to Mr. Greenwood, I think the contractor saying, yeah,

Can we again identify what, what the reasoning is, and I don't know if that's just because of the comprehensive plan outcome from the previous one, but the board could identify that would help.

The first phase is 150,000 square foot manufacturing building. The second phase is an additional building with 60,000 square feet. This is a site plan, which the applicant will speak more about. We obviously have to go through the zoning code for M-2 and make sure that all the items are met. We just put a few of them on the staff report here for you. Things like impervious coverage, things like the setbacks are all being met. The building height for this zone is 60 feet, of ‸ which they will be under. The parking we do, they are providing 287 parking spaces, of which is enough for
And you'll see in our recommendation for approval on this project that we have put a condition in. The application obviously takes time to go through the city. And the applicants have also entered into a development agreement with us for the site because of the number of trees that are on the site. And due to that, we got very specific about the number of employees in the development agreement. And we're requesting that the applicant make the number of employees listed on the site plan consistent with the number of employees identified in the development agreement.
But we did put a copy of all the development agreements at your seat today. So you can look at this specifically. The applicants are doing an amazing job providing landscaping within their site plan. ‸ I will let them speak to ‸ that. But

bank so definitely it's very recent and we've been implementing it ever since that point in time. so you're required to replace all the trees that you remove on a site inch for inch if you're not able to replace those which many of these very large sites you're not because there are so many trees then you're required to pay into the tree mitigation bank you're required to again pay for inch for inch for those trees plus two years of maintenance the money goes into a fund that is administered through public works and the money can only be used for we itemize like three things basically it's anything to do with replacing trees within the city

they have never been amended or changed since 2003 but in contrast the building department fees and the fire fees are set up per resolution so when we want to amend those fees for the building or fire we can simply take a resolution to city council and amend the fees but the zoning fees are a little more a little bit difficult a little bit more difficult to ‸ alter because they are it does take an ordinance to amend the fees and then it would it takes your recommendation to city council then it takes two readings at city council to amend that ordinance so what we are proposing to do tonight this ordinance actually removes the fees from the planning and zoning code and ‸ would allow them to be then treated like the building fees and the fire fees in the future where they can simply be amended per resolution which would be two readings at city council for any updates and things like that so I believe that it's not required to come

obviously it has to go through two readings of city council to be approved but if that were to happen also then in the future we can simply amend these fees by resolution which could go straight to city council but of course we have a lot of areas on the agenda where we can provide updates to you and tell you here's what we're thinking of doing
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:17:18–02:17:19 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
moving forward in the future so we're not trying to remove you from the process we're simply trying to make the process easier to modify so that we don't go another 20 years without updating our fees again and having said that I want to show you kind of why we are looking at updating these fees we we've had a lot of budget hearing ‸ with city council and it became a priority of our city council to look at these fees and to really look at applications helping to remit the cost of staff to do the reviews that are needed and so we did a large study when we did this with all the fees
but the ones that are required to come before you are the planning and zoning ones which you have tonight and ‸ so the slide you have before you I'm giving you an example of our current fees for the comprehensive plan amendment that you heard before you tonight the current fee for that is $500 our proposed fee moving forward would be $1550 plus the advertising fees and you can see how that relates to Brevard County Titusville Cocoa Beach Melbourne Palm Bay likewise for a site plan review so
that you just saw come before you tonight the application fee for those was $350 plus $25 per acre and then you can see our proposed fee goes up to $1500 plus $550 per acre which again makes them more consistent with the region around us and then the final plat gets a little bit more complicated with the plat but again just giving you a nice mix of the applications that we have before us some of the applications like our business tax receipt and
that are really our mom and pop businesses have been raised very very very little if at all with these applications too so we've obviously taken that into consideration also but staff does ask for your recommendation to city council tonight to approve ordinance 13-2022
to repeal the existing appendix a zoning article 20 of the zoning ordinance containing a schedule of planning and zoning application fees and to adopt future fee schedules by resolution
city council is not asking for you to be removed staff yeah staff is just recommending that we remove it from this lengthy process and make it more similar to the building and fire fees because they've already been amended and are in place and they've been charging these higher fees where it's going to take us a couple months to get through this process we really wanted to implement it before the end of the year but I'm not sure we'll make it just because of the time frame of going through the various boards
this motion is actually not for the increase it's simply to remove the fees from the ordinance so if you agree to remove the fees from the ordinance then we can move forward with just a resolution with city council proposing the fees that you just saw
right well I have to open it to the public and seeing none I'm going to close it to the public and bring it back to the board do we have a motion from the board sure

okay I think that we had suggested that might be something we need to revisit and I'd like to see if that's a possibility because this and another item that I think is important to revisit as well but for right now in reference to the tree mitigations and the tree landscaping requirements I think that once you have enough strength and staff to go over this to have it revised I think it's time we need to do that because I also understood that there were a couple times that even yourself had mentioned it was a little vague as far as the way the design for the landscaping requirements are questionable and

don't know if we specifically state live oaks is it just regular oaks because there are laurel oaks and they only live for 70 years and they end up falling apart and rotting that's happened in front of the college almost all those trees on at the college there on clear lake they're dying they're disappearing and I remember when they first were planted I'm showing my age right now but
we need to put live oaks now because then we won't have that issue they live a lot longer than the laurel oaks laurel oaks grow real fast they are oak trees but their lifespan is half of what a live oak would be they take longer to grow but you don't have the situation where you lose them all and I think that that's important including giving more guidance to people that want to do development in the city that this is something that I think is important we're known for oak trees and I think it's important that we really make it very clear of our position to preserve what cocoa has even though we've been losing a lot of them ‸ so

you haven't had time no all right ‸ so by you having the consensus of the board is that another support mechanism that you all could look into when you do have time or do you need the consensus yes

yeah I was just asked to explain a little bit further about what would be the kind of the appropriate boundaries of discussion under the open discussion item which is recurring on the agenda and so I just wrote a short memo for you summarized it essentially says that your duties

as a board are set forth in the city code essentially looking at making zoning recommendations conference and planning recommendations and acting as the tree board so to the extent that you want to discuss anything during open discussion it should be related to those items which again are set forth in the code and I included those sections for you in the memo so you can look at them thank you that was helpful

at the let's see another ordinance I guess you could call it that or guidelines that also needed some tweaking that was brought up is in reference to the facade materials and paint colors for exterior buildings when there's new construction that also seemed to be needing a little more clarification on it and I'd like to see if ‸ it's possible whenever the staff has time to look further into it because again

where the colors were horribly repainted on a building and that was out of spite I guess but since that time it's been rented and the colors already been changed it's beautiful and it's a very nice restaurant that's going in there
some clarification so I guess we could treat this as we just had a discussion about revising the tree board position for landscaping for other projects that's coming in
could be left whenever it's free again is that the best way to handle this when the staff's free okay is that something that the board also feels it's necessary as a consensus or not
the surrounding areas just like with residential and commercial they need to play into the surrounding areas as far as putting a hammer down on that I believe that

for the board to decide that's not the route not for the board no no it's for the staff to revise their guidelines and then that way when projects come to them they can include the specifics on the exterior facades not for us to vote on no okay so I was just curious if there's a consensus that even though it's been brought up that needs to be addressed as it was at the last council meeting I'd like to see if this is something that the the tree board here also the tree board but also the

can be enhanced a little bit the guidelines that you're using is that something that you all can do within your staff requirements when people come before you with new construction or do you need something with a little more direction in
the city right now it's only in the cocoa waterfront overlay district and they are architectural guidelines by type so when you look at developing a site you have to look through that waterlay district and it depends on if it's a townhome

the height and those type of things the size the part of the parcel where the property where the building can be placed on the property so they just touch on the aesthetics as far as like the appearance so that again you want it to look and blend with the historic character of the village but they don't go into anything like color or anything like that

like rock facade things like that that's correct and that was what I was interested about if that's something that you feel might need to be included in order for you to show that this is what the city of

how receptive are people that are wanting to bring a project they want to build in Cocoa Village for example how receptive are they and are they serious about wanting it to blend with the rest of the character that we have in the village instead of having another bank that we've got now between the two 520s that is ultra modern and it obviously doesn't fit

that's I was going to use the hotel as an example too so that's a really good one so the industry is somewhat kind of regulating itself today I would use the hotel and then the other project that we had been talking about with framework group in which they're really embracing the village embracing the waterfront overlay district and they're applying those standards for themselves because they want to be a premier building in the village and to do so you want to look like the rest of the village and fit in so again I think the industry is doing it on its own at this point in time okay
well we had that when the Tuitt Bank building was built on their own and we ended up with that so let me ask it this way what could we potentially do as a preventative to not repeat itself with something for example of that building
Starbucks coming in how can they adapt it so it looks a little bit more villagey I mean they do that with McDonald's they've done it with I believe Starbucks too in other locations

that you're talking about and I know they're going to go out of the way but it's not like that with anybody that comes in and wanting to build a project here it's not like that not that willing to work together and that's how that bank got built the people that own that land and wanted to build another SunTrust this is what they wanted to do and they built it they were not swayed in any way
you should proceed and like just like the regulating plan there are certain things that we ask them to, but we can't tell them colors or you know facades or there's certain things that they have to have that liberty to be able to build you know
well maybe I just need to go to other cities and get an example of what they use as guidelines for the same subject all right thank you I have no other points I'd like to bring up
