Roxanne
Reed
with
the
Community
Development
Division.
As
you
said,
this
is
a
small
scale.
Future
land
use
Amendment.
The
request
is
to
recommend
approval
of
this
future
land
use
map
Amendment
from
County
Rural
to
City,
very
low
density,
Suburban
residential
for
the
property
at
3405,
West,
poncan
Road,
the
size
of
the
acreage
is
9.95.
G
This
property
was
annexed
into
the
city
on
November
16th
of
2022.
This
application
is
being
processed
simultaneously
with
an
application
to
rezone
the
property.
The
existing
future
land
use
here
you
can
see,
is
County
Rural.
The
proposed
is
the
city
designation
of
very
low
density,
Suburban
residential
they're,
proposing
a
19
lot
subdivision
on
the
property,
and
today
we
did
receive
the
school
capacity
determination.
It's
not
a
formal
letter,
but
the
formal
letter
will
be
coming
on
Thursday
from
what
we
understand
but
I
put
that
there
at
your
station.
G
The
few
the
development
Review
Committee
is
recommending
approval
of
the
change
in
future
land
use,
and
the
recommended
motion
is
to
find
this
proposed
change.
Consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
Land
Development
code
compatible
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding
areas
and
recommending
approval
of
this
change,
that
concludes
a
presentation.
A
B
B
Today
we
are
requesting
a
small
scale,
comprehensive
plan
amendment
to
change
the
future
land
use
of
the
site
from
agriculture
to
very
low
residential
Suburban,
as
well
as
to
rezone
the
property
from
agriculture
to
rsf-1b,
which
is
large
lot
subdivision.
In
this
case,
we
are
proposing
19
Lots
on
site
for
the
9.95
Acres
most
of
the
Lots
throughout
the
subdivision
are
greater
than
the
minimum
requirement
of
8
000
square
feet.
I'd
say
almost
all
of
them
are
over
that
minimum
requirement
of
8
000
square
feet.
B
E
Just
repeat
that,
did
you
say
the
individuals
will
have
an
opportunity
to
buy
the
lot
and
build
their
own
home,
correct.
B
Yeah,
so
we're
at
this
time
the
applicant
is
going
to
plant
the
lots
and
then
sell
them
individually.
If
there
is,
if
someone
approaches
them
next
door
is
Dr
Horton.
If
Dr
Horton
is
interested
in
building
on
those
said
Lots
according
to
the
rsf-1b
standard,
then
the
applicant
might
entertain
that
offer
from
them.
But
at
this
time
they're
going
to
plot
the
lots
and
sell
them
individually
and
then
they'll
be
Custom
Homes
in
here.
H
A
D
A
Is
that
you?
Yes,
okay,
didn't
hear
it
second
by
commissioner
Stanley.
Thank
you
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
to
hit
your
red
button.
Okay,
good
boy
and
I.
Don't?
Okay?
Item
number:
two

West
Palm
can
Road
owners,
Phillip
and
Patricia
Simmons
applicant
PNP,
buildcon,
LLC
project
manager.
This
Roxanne.
G
G
E
I,
do
I
meant
to
ask
this
last
time
what
does
property
be
subject
to
HOA
control,
HOA.
B
So
at
this
time
we
have
not
discussed
whether
or
not
we
would
Implement
an
HOA
for
this
subdivision
of
this
size,
but
that
is
something
that
we
can
bring
back
to
the
applicant
and
discuss
with
them.
The
purpose
of
the
subdivision
right
now
is
just
for
those
Custom
Homes,
so
an
HOA
might
not
be
the
best
fit
for
a
custom
home
subdivision,
but
if
that
is
something
design
standards
at
the
commission
would
like
to
see,
we
can
entertain
that
absolutely
the.
E
Only
reason
why
I
asked
I
don't
have
to
be
defensive
about
it,
but
some
people
like
HOAs
and
some
don't
so
what
I
thought
to
be
interesting
about
this?
You
have
lots
that
people
can
buy
and
they
can
put
anything
they
well.
That's
reasonable
within.
A
E
Mr
chairman
I
found
a
proposed
change
in
zoning
from
County
1-8
Citrus
Royal
to
City
rsf-1b,
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
Land
Development
code
and
compatible
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding
areas.
Recommend
approval
of
the
proposed
change
of
zoning
based
on
the
findings
and
facts
presented
in
the
staff
report
and
Exhibits.
D
A
G
G
This
property
is
20.7
acres
in
size
and
this
industrial
Light
zoning
district
is
compatible
with
the
existing
future
land
use
designation
of
industrial
and
is
compatible
with
the
uses
planned
for
the
subject
property
and
the
existing
uses
in
this
area.
The
applicant
does
plan
to
use
this
as
an
industrial
property.
G
The
development
Review
Committee
has
a
recommended
approval.
Finding
that
the
proposed
change
is
consistent
with
a
comprehensive
plan
and
Land
Development
code,
and
the
recommended
motion
for
the
Planning
Commission
is
to
find
that
this
proposed
change
in
zoning
from
T
transition
to
Il
light
industrial
is
consistent
with
a
comprehensive
plan
and
Land
Development
code.
That
concludes
presentation.
I,
believe
the
applicant
is
here
for
questions.
H
Yeah
I
have
a
question.
Sir
yeah,
you
said
you
were,
there
was
a
plan
to
use
this
for
industrial.
Did
you
have
any
further
information
on
exactly
what
that
is
that.
J
Good
evening,
Alex
mezdak
with
for
the
applicant
with
the
mezzak
wall
in
Hamilton
here
to
answer
any
questions.
I'm
going
to
send
you
a
question
about
the
potential
use,
it
will
be
for
light
industrial
distribution.
We.
J
I
H
F
I
have
a
question,
commissioner
Ryan.
So
this
property
backs
up
to
the
protected
Wetlands.
As
you
know,
correct
correct
it's
a
little
bit
overlapped.
Pardon
me:
isn't
there
a
little
bit
of
overlap
with
the
property.
J
To
the
extent
any
on
the
on
the
the
west
side,
but
you
know,
if
you
look
at
the
wetlands,
is
primarily
going
to
be.
You
know
what
there
would
be
a
buffer,
possibly
further
on
the
west
side,.
F
J
J
Are
you
going
to
protect
the
wetlands,
they
would
be
fenced
off
regular
friends
and
that.
K
K
K
K
A
D
I'll
make
a
motion
Mr
chairman,
to
find
the
proposed
change
in
zoning
from
T
transition
to
Il
light
industrial
on
310
Conrad
Road,
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
Land
Development
code
and
compatible
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding
areas.
Recommend
approval
of
the
proposed
change
of
zoning
based
on
the
findings
and
facts
presented
in
the
staff
report
and
Exhibits.
A
G
G
Okay,
the
existing
zoning
is
mixed
use,
transition,
and
the
portion
here
is
is
what
is
proposed.
You'll
see.
The
southern
portion
of
the
parcel
here,
which
is
17.6
acres,
is
what
they're
proposed
to
change
to
kpi
mixed
use
with
that
Village
Center
assignment.
G
This
is
another
one
that
the
school
capacity
letter
that
you
have
there
at
your
stations
was
produced
today
and
they
will
produce
a
formal
letter
on
Thursday.
This
is
as
well
as
the
previous
project
shows
that
there
is
no
capacity
in
any
of
the
schools,
but
we've
been
assured
by
Orange
County
Public
Schools
that
they
can
use
adjacent
schools
for
their
more
formal
letter
and
that
elementary
and
middle
school
will
be
accommodated,
but
it
will
still
fail
at
high
school
level.
G
F
But
look
recognize
the
staff,
okay,
the
exit,
so
there's
going
to
be
a
southern
exit
on
property,
correct.
G
Right,
it's
just
for
the
southern
portion,
and
you
can
see
it
kind
of
lined
off
here
with
the
yellow
line,
just
that
southern
portion
of
that
parcel.
F
So,
looking
forward
to
look
in
the
future,
will
it
line
up
to
the
the
parcel
that's
being
developed
is
south
of
it
with
that
line
up
with
their
entrance.
K
Yeah
yeah
Pam
Richmond's
working
with
both
both
Property
Owners
on
the
south
and
on
the
to
the
property
on
to
the
West,
because
it'll
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
jog
to
the
west
north.
To
line
up
more
perfect
with
golden
jump
because.
F
K
That's
that's
the
whole
idea
exactly
what
you
you
mentioned
is
to
not
do
that
to
basically
line
it
up
directly
across
the
street
from
each
other,
because
we're
not
dealing
with
the
Orange
County
again
right.
It's
we're!
Well,
it's
all
compatible
we're
we're
we're
still
in
conversation
with
them
with
any
with
anything,
that's
happening
on
Kelly,
Park,
okay,
for
sure.
H
Commissioner
I
find
motion
make
a
motion
to
find
the
proposed
change
in
zoning
from
the
mixed-use
transition
mut
to
kpimu,
Kelly,
Park
interchange,
mixed
use
with
Village
Center
assignment
for
the
southern
portion
of
3951
West
Kelly
Park
Road,
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
Land
Development
code
incompatible
with
the
character.
The
surrounding
areas
recommended
approval
of
the
proposed
change
of
zoning,
based
on
the
findings
and
facts
present
in
the
staff
reports
and
Exhibits.
A
Okay,
item
number
five:
this
would
be
quasi-judicial,
correct,
Jim,
yes,
item
number:
five
is
the
quasi-judicial
special
exemption
to
resume
operation
of
the
gas
station
in
conjunction
with
a
convenience
store
in
the
mud,
mixed
use,
downtown
zoning
districts
owner
168,
Elgin,
LLC,
applicant
Jonathan,
huels
location,
322,
East,
Main,
Street
I
need
to
ask:
has
anyone
from
the
commission
had
ex
parte
communication
on
this
map?
No,
no,
seeing
none
bring
it
back
to
Mrs
Roxanne
Reed.
G
This
is
Roxanne
Reed
with
Community
Development
Department.
The
request
is
to
approve
a
special
exception,
use
permit
to
resume
operation
of
a
gas
station
in
conjunction
with
a
convenience
store
within
the
mud,
mixed-use
downtown
zoning
district,
and
this
is
located
at
322,
East,
Main,
Street
and
the
track
size
is
0.4
Acres.
This
gas
station
has
been
vacant
for
over
180
days,
triggering
a
special
use.
G
Development,
Review
Committee,
is
recommending
approval
of
this
special
exception,
and
the
recommended
motion
is
to
approve
a
special
exception
to
resume
operation
of
the
gas
station
in
conjunction
with
a
convenience
store
within
the
mud.
Zoning
District
I
believe
the
applicant
is
here
to
answer
questions.
A
Mrs
Reed
question:
can
you
bring
it
back
to
the
overhead
view
of
that
question?
I
have
for
that
it
has
the
parking
in
the
back
is
not
attached
to
that
in
any
way
is.
G
A
So
it's
just,
it
is
just
simply.
The
the
yellow
area
is
the
only
parking
right.
A
J
L
Sure
do
have
an
application,
happy
holidays,
chairman
and
Commissioners.
My
name
is
Jonathan
huels
with
the
lounge
Law
Firm
215
North
Eula
Drive,
Orlando
32801.
We
concur
with
staff's
recommendation
and
the
proposed
conditions
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
You
have.
It's
been
a
pleasure
of
course,
working
with
Miss
Reed,
Mr,
hit
and
Gene
on
this
one.
H
I
have
a
I
have
a
comment,
glad
to
see
something
going
in
there
back
in
that
empty
gas
station
I'd
prefer
it
to
be
like
a
little
Artisan,
Sandwich
Shop,
but
we'll
take
a
gas
station
over
an
empty
building.
So.
E
Yes,
I
I
go
along
with
commissioner
and
doomies
expression
of
about
this
I've
always
been
sensitive
about
the
look
and
feel
of
Apopka
and.
E
Main
Street
when
I
see
vacant
businesses,
it
bothers
me
deeply
and
so
I'm
glad
this
one
is
coming
back
alive.
So
if
you
can
remember
to
do
this,
please
express
that
to
the
owner
I
appreciate
he
or
she
whoever
it
is.
That's
making
that
place
alive
again.
It
improves
our
image.
Yeah.
L
L
L
C
C
Right
here,
okay,
yeah,
my
name
is
Magnolia
I'm,
a
neighbor
right
here
at
the
Midland
Avenue.
Do
we
really
need
another
gas
station
there?
Why
don't
still
working
to
develop
to
have
a
better
business
here,
like
that,
we
started
right.
The
the
apoca
center
I
think
we
should
come
up
with
a
whole
area
so
that
we
have
in
mind
you
know.
Instead
to
be
gas
station,
we
have
a
gas
station.
We
have
two
gas
stations,
one
each
side
on
the
road.
Do
we
really
need
another
gas
station
right
there?
C
H
I
agree
with
with
your
comments,
but
you
know
the
applicant
did
say
that
it.
The
best
use
is
a
gas
station
because
of
different
environmental
and
and
reasons
that
exist,
and
there
may
be
a
chance
in
the
future
to
repurpose
it.
But
the
second
thing
I
would
say
to
that,
is
you
know
if
you
believe
that
put
your
money
there,
you
know,
invest
in
the
business
and-
and
maybe
maybe
you
can
do
something
like
that.
A
A
A
E
M
M
M
To
the
greatest
extent,
practical,
the
applicant
is
required
to
comply
with
all
site
design
and
other
standards,
including
Landscaping
buffer,
specifically
required
for
special
exception
uses.
It
is
also
subject
to
construction
site
plan
review
and
during
the
csb
review,
the
development
Review
Committee
will
further
confirm.
The
proposed
project
will
provide
adequate
and
safe
access,
as
well
as
complies
with
the
rest
of
the
Land
Development
code
for
a
Land
Development
code,
section
2.5.1
special
exceptions
are
required
to
comply
with
the
following
standards
shown
and
they
are
also
outlined
in
the
staff
report.
M
The
applicant
has
provided
responses
to
the
special
exception
permit
criteria
and
those
responses
are
also
included
in
the
report
you
have.
The
DRC
recommends
approval.
The
recommended
motion
is
to
approve
the
special
exception
to
allow
an
enclosed
car
wash
within
the
CC
Community
commercial
zoning,
District
staff
and
applicant
are
available
for
questions.

Those
parking
spaces
are
actually
going
to
be
associated
with
part
of
the
development
for
lot
two.
So
when
Lot
2
actually
is
developed,
they
would
anticipate
on
going
ahead
and
taking
those
parking
spaces
plus
the
proposed
ones
to
provide
whatever
Ada
access
is
right
right.
This
time
they
wouldn't
be.
Providing
any
of
those
that
actually
provided
next
to
the
building
when
Lot
2
is
done
in
those
parking
spaces
will
count.
F
N
E
E
In
a
couple
places
Apopka
that
the
city
is
currently
dealing
with
so
I'm,
always
looking
at
that
now,
unfortunately
you're
going
to
get
it,
but
here
you
you
have,
you
know
engineered
in
stormwater
management.
How
confident
are
you
that
this
Pond
is
to
be
sufficient
when
we
have
another
tropical
storm
or
a
hurricane
coming
through
town.
N
Well,
what
we've
got
is
that
when
we
go
to
design
stormwater
ponds,
we
meet
a
different
city
and
state
requirements
with
regards
to
stormwater
management,
and
they
have
certain
criteria
with
regards
to
what
storm
event
is
there,
and
so
we
go
through
and
design
according
to
that
in
order
to
try
to
take
and
control
our
water
on
site
according
to
what
they
basically
mean
annual
in
the
25-year
store
event.
N
So
they
are
designed
to
try
to
accommodate
to
make
sure
we
don't
have
any
issues
with
regards
to
the
banks
of
the
pond
blowing
over
as
far
as
having
berms
blow
out
in
order
to
let
the
pond
evacuate
like
it's
not
supposed
to.
But
what
would
happen
is
actually
for
a
hundred
year
storm.
N
We
wouldn't
be
designing
strictly
for
that,
but
based
on
our
storm
water,
we
would
be
able
to
take
and
try
to
control
part
of
that
on
it
as
far
as
not
necessarily
having
100
of
all
this
water
going
Downstream,
don't
know
if
that
answered
your
question
or
not.
E
Well,
I
hear
what
you're
saying,
but
the
it's
one
of
the
existing
problems
we
have
right
now
in
the
city
is
that
the
problem
was
not
anticipated
when
it
was
first.
The
projects
were
first
built
and
installed
many
years
ago.
Now
it
is
an
issue
and
I'm,
not
an
expert
expert
on
all
the
details
of
what
the
city
and
Engineering
Group
and
St
John's
Water
Management
District
are
talking
about.
But
apparently,
though,
there
are
different
sources
of
water
that
have
been
contributing
into
the
lake
at
the
issue.
That's
developed
over
time.
E
E
N
There
is
a
certain
portion
that
comes
through
there
and
we'd
be
directing
it
as
far
as
being
able
to
collected
and
directed
around
the
property
in
order
to
discharge,
as
normally
would
be
during
normal
short
events,
so
we'd
be
collecting
that
water
to
not
block
it
off
in
order
to
take
and
create
any
floody
issues,
Upstream
we'd
be
taking
still
collecting
that
water
and
not
blocking
it.
E
Okay,
all
right,
let's
go
to
a
different
question,
a
lot,
a
lot
of
people
in
the
Bible
travel
up
and
down
Rock
Springs
Road,
especially
during
rush
hour,
do
so
with
concern
for
their
safety,
as
that
traffic
goes
up
and
down
the
road,
and
if
you
want
to
make
a
left
or
right
turn,
you
gotta
take
a
breath.
Commissioner
Ryan
I
mentioned
it.
Where
you
have
the
McDonald's
and
you
have
the
Dollar
General
store.
E
You
know
people
trying
to
make
a
turn
into
either
one
of
those
businesses,
so
you
got
the
you
got
to
start
praying
there
sometime
so
I'm.
Just
thinking
about
your
project
and
I
know,
you
have
to
know
it
here
that
your
business
will
take
advantage
of
the
existing
traffic
flow,
that's
nice.
But
what
about
and
that's
nice
for
southbound
turns
into
your
project,
I'm
thinking
about
the
person
who's
going,
northbound
they're
going
home.
E
N
Well,
we'll
be
meeting
required
right
now:
Rock
Springs
Road
is
actually
a
county
road,
so
we'll
have
to
take
and
work
with
the
city
as
far
as
what
their
concern
is
trying
to
address
any
safety
issues
for
turning
movements
into
and
out
of
the
car
wash,
but
also
be
working
with
Orange
County
I
know
that
in
working
with
Pam
on
this,
when
we've
actually
had
discussions
with
her
trying
to
address
potential
issues
with
regards
to
traffic
at
the
entrance
here-
and
it's
really
looking
at
more
than
likely
it's
going
to
be
a
write-in
ride
out
only
and
probably
a
directional
left
turn
so
that
actually
traffic
coming
out
of
it
would
not
need
be
making
a
left
turn
heading
north
onto
Rock,
Springs
Road,
so
be
strictly
a
directional
left
coming
for
Northbound
traffic
and
turning
into
the
site,
so
that
would
help
control
with
regards
to
some
of
the
Turning
movements
that
are
coming
into
and
out
of
this
site
in
order
to
try
to
minimize
as
far
as
conflict
points
with
potential
cars
on
that
so
I
know,
that'll
be
something
with
regards
to
a
traffic
study
that
would
be
done
in
order
to
take
and
make
sure
that
at
least
what
work
is
being
done
within
Rock
Springs
Road
is
sized
to
accommodate
what
the
anticipated
touring
movements
will
be
into
and
out
of,
the
property.
E
N
Yeah
I
mean
that's
okay,
all
right
and
and
what
happens
is
basically
when
they
do
the
design
it's
based
upon
certain
trips
per
day
and
certain
left
turn
movements
and
such
like
that
during
a
peak
hours,
so
we'd
be
making
sure
that
we
addressed
any
of
those
items
with
the
traffic
study
to
make
sure
that
it
gives
a
correct
stacking
and
try
to
keep
cars.

the
Community
Development
Department.
This
request
is
to
recommend
approval

is
located
a
30-38
hogsad
road
and
the
major

one
building
and
five
future
buildings.
The

M
M
F
Okay,
I'm,
looking
at
your
accessible
parking,
you
have
two
spots
there
as
I
understand
they're
supposed
to
be
the
closest
spots
to
the
entrance.
You
just
you
just
need
to
move
them
down
two
spots
to
the
west
and
then
388
compliant
actually.
P
P
O
A
On
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
sorry,
commissioner,
you're
framing
a
good
question
in
yeah
and
making
and
trying
to
answer
a
yes
or
no
question.
He
is
currently
ADA
Compliant.
What
you
do
if
you
want
to
frame
that
question
say,
would
you
be
willing
if
we
request
you
to
move
those
spaces
over
not
are
you
willing
to
do
it
to
be
ADA
Compliant?
He
is
ADA
Compliant,
as
the
attorney's
already
said.
So
you
know
you
can't
beat
the
guy
up
and
say
you're,
not
within
the
rules
when
he
is
within
the
rules.
You
can
ask
and
request.
