Agenda (the City's wording)
The City's agenda for this meeting is on file (PZ_Reg_Agenda_04_03_2024), but its item list has not been read reliably by machine yet, so no outline is shown.
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.
74 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 1 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 8 voices separated from the audio.
4 short machine repair(s) (4 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 89.2% of 2,501 content words.
Dotted words (59 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
74 passages (26% 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.
Voice detected, no words recognized (1 stretch). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
00:00:00 (340 s) — neither reading has words
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.
would like to introduce to everybody our new assistant clerk, Ms. Abigail Bass. She will be taking over these meetings in the near future, so we'll be communicating with her on that. Okay. Vice Chairperson Anderson.

RU 215 multifamily dwelling zoning designation Again, is currently unassigned. In 2012, the subject property was approved for the annexation and was given the future land use designation of MDR but nonetheless never had a zoning category given

We have single family to the north and west and mobile homes to the south. The subject property will not be an isolated district. As previously mentioned, there's an RU215 category nearby, approximately two blocks north. Again, compatibility to the future land use designation abutting properties are categorized

is consistent with the future land use element policy 1.1.2.4. Staff recommends to the Planning and Zoning Board approval to the City Council through Appendix A, Zoning Article 21, to change the zoning map designation of the subject property, totaling 13.34 acres, to the City of Coco's RU215 multifamily dwelling designation. And myself and Steve Noto are here for any questions.

Yes, sir. You had mentioned that ‸ this change of zoning would allow improvements. Are you familiar with what improvements we're looking at to do once the zoning is changed? Are you familiar what their plans are?
Yes, that's correct. Yeah, they're not adding any more dwelling units. We had a pre-app with them roughly a month or two ago. And so it's aesthetic improvements and then just some horizontal improvements to the site. Better pedestrian connectivity, better striping,

The zoning category defers to the landscape code. And so all of the buffer standards would come from that landscape code. Um, we'd have to look a little closer at the site plan to see if they're deficient. Um,

It makes sense to do this correction, but I'd like to see if the city could gain a little bump from ‸ changing the zoning that could include additional. Sure. Landscaping. Understood.

that we approve the staff's recommendation. And, and part of that motion would include looking into the landscaping requirements. Once the zoning is changed. To see if it's possible that that could be, uh, also included or considered. Is that okay with the board? All I just need to hear. If there's a support by vote.

I'm sorry. ‸ I apologize. Uh, if that is the avenue that we were taking, he was going to suggest bringing it to the, uh, the, the property representatives. If that could be, uh, a possibility. So it would be like an amendment unless the attorney feels that an amendment is not a good avenue to take. So I'm all for advice here. An amendment? Is
I think as part of the motion, um, for us to coordinate with the applicant on. You know, all the code requirements with emphasis on the landscape code, ensuring there's enough trees.
Exactly. So should I present that Steve as an amendment or a consideration for discussion between yourself and them? Because I don't want them to be, um, disenchanted that. Sure. I

It actually belongs to the body as a whole now that it's been seconded. So, ‸ but if there's no objection to you rescinding it, ‸ then you could do that.

Okay. So I'll make a motion that this is, uh, to be approved as staff recommended with consideration looked into if there is a tree deficiency or a possibility of enhancing the landscaping per our code. Is that better? Steve? Thank you.
All right. Um, I guess we'll move into B before we get into the tree board or other business. Um, evidently, um, our chairman, uh, resigned last week, moved out of the area. And so he's no longer going to, um, be the chair, which vacates that position. So, um,

Yes. All right. I just want to share with the board that the RFPs were submitted for the hotel site. And I highly recommend that on May the 6th, which is a Monday at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the presentation of those RFPs will be shared with the public. And there might follow a vote or a preference for one of the four. I wanted to make that ‸ been submitted. I just want to make sure the board knew about it. I've
