west

south
of
west
orange
blossom,
trail
and
west
of
lake
doe
boulevard,
and
we
have
a
staff
presentation.
C
Good
evening,
allison
williams
planner
one
with
the
city's
planning
division.
The
request
is
to
rezone
a
2.3
acre
parcel
of
land
from
county
a1
citrus
rural
district
to
cc
community
commercial.
The
subject
property
is
located
at
1424
and
1432
west
orange
blossom
trail.
The
applicant
is
requesting
a
rezoning
of
the
property
to
expand
his
veterinary
practice.
C
A
A
A
Okay,
then
we'll
vote
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no,
and
that
carries
unanimously.
A
C
Good
evening,
allison
williams
planner
one
with
the
city's
planning
division.
The
subject
property
is
located
at
1506
rock
springs
road.
The
request
is
to
rezone
a
3.9
acre
parcel
from
t
transitional
to
c
c,
o
corridor
commercial.
The
property
was
annexed
into
the
city
on
march
6
2019
via
ordinance
number
2713.
C
E
C
What's
the
latest
on
that,
so
pam
richmond
is
working
with
the
applicant
and
the
county
regarding
any
sort
of
traffic
concerns.
I
know
a
tia
is
going
to
be
completed
at
the
time
that
a
plan
would
be
submitted.
F
D
Of
one
of
the
other
concerns
was
a
cut
through
so
that
from
that
parcel
of
land
that
people
would
not
be
able
to
avoid
going
out
onto
the
street
to
go
north.
They
could
just
drive
through
the
parking
lot
into
the
next,
and
I
think
at
that
time
there
was
something
about
that
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that.
There
was
a
retaining
wall
or
something.
C
A
E
Mr
chairman,
I
find
a
proposed
change
of
zoning
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
compatible
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding
areas,
recommending
approval
of
the
proposed
change
of
zoning
from
t
transitional
district
to

corridor
commercial
district
for
the
properties
owned
by
mary
f
reed
estate
located
at
1506
rock
springs
road.
A
A
Okay.
Our
next

is
a
change
of
zoning
northwest
church
from
pd
planned
development
district
to
rsf-1b,
residential
single
family
district.
Large

is
south
of
shopkee,

and
east

plymouth,
sorrento
road,
and
we
have
a
staff
presentation
good
evening.
G
G
The

recommends
approval
of
the
proposed
rezoning
to
rsf-1b,
and
the
recommended
motion
for
this
evening
is

the
proposed

That's
planned
for

of
the
city.
The

Okay,.
A
A
H
H
The
new
law
amends
various
sections
of
the
florida
statutes
to
related
to
local
government
regulation
of
land
plan
land
requiring
each
local
government
to
adopt
a
property
rights
element
into
their
respective
comprehensive
plan.
Inclusion
of
the
property
rights
element
is
intended
to
protect
private
property
rights
and
to
ensure
they
are
considered
in
local
decision
making.
A
A
A
Okay,
our
next
item
is
a
request
for
a
variance
to
allow
130
square
foot.
Electronic
reader
board
sign
located
at
3710,
jason,
dewelly,
parkway
and
10
south
forest
avenue.
The
owners,
the
city
of
apopka,
the
applicant
is
the
city
of
apopka
recreation
department.
The
locations
are
3710,
jason,
dwelling
parkway
and
10
south
forest
avenue.
This
is
a
quasi-judicial
item
for
the
planning
commission,
so
I
would
ask
if
anyone
seeks
affected
party
status
regarding
this
item
in
seeing
none.
I
would
ask
commission
members
if
anyone
has
had
ex
parte
communications
on
this
item
and
hearing.
H
No
we'll
proceed
with
the
staff
presentation.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
applicant
is
requesting
a
variance
from
land
development
code.
Article
5,
section,
510,
8e1c
election
reader
board
electronic
reader
board
signs
a
which
states
the
sign
area
of
electronic
reader
board
portion
of
the
science
shall
not
exceed
50
of
the
total
signed
base.
H
H
H
Once
an
initial
determination
has
been
reached,
a
variance
shall
only
be
approved
based
on
a
finding
that
the
applicant
demonstrates.
There
is
competent,
substantial
evidence
on
the
nine
variance
criteria
which
you
see
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you.
The
planning
commission's
decision
shall
be
based
on
one
of
the
following
approval
of
the
variance
approval
of
the
variant
subject
to
modification
and
or
conditions
or
denial
of
the
variants.
A
representative
of
the
sign
company
is
here:
if
you
have
any
questions.
H
The
sign
does
not
serve
a
public
private
purpose;
it
serves
a
public
purpose.
So
it's
going
to
advertise
public
events,
messages,
emergency
messages,
that's.
K
I
I
That's
this
because
it
don't
really
have
to
have
a
public
meeting
regarding
the
sign
unless
there's
a
variance
that
the
issue
one
of
the
one
and
one
then
the
other
one.
As
bobby
mentioned,
it
says,
10
south
forest
avenue,
that's
just
the
address
for
kit
land
nelson
park.
It's
actually
going
to
be
kind
of
perpendicular
to
park
avenue
and
we're
going
to
get
rid
of
that
old
one
that
we
used
to
have
the
changeable
letters
and
things
like
that.
I
The
other
caveat
with
this
is
that
the
staff
and
administration
for
the
city
did
want
to
be
kind
of
in
the
forefront.
Regarding
this
variance,
we
are
not
required
to
actually
get
a
variance
for
ourselves.
I
B
A
I
I
I
Just
different
events
at
the
amphitheater
fireworks
ball
games
occurring
from
this
time
to
this
time,
kitland
nelson
events,
you
know
different
public
events
that
that
we
either
sponsor
or
are
coming
into
the
park
itself
for
for
use.
Okay,
I.
I
To
the
road,
what
perpendicular
to
the
main
road?
In
other
words
it
jason
dwellings,
perpendicular
to
poncan
and
but
set
back
so
if
you're
at
the
traffic
light,
you
can
still
see
down
the
road
safety.
I
Both
sides
right,
yep
and
then
same
thing
with
with
kit
land
nelson,
where
it'll
be
perpendicular,
you
can
almost
see
where
it's
almost
in
the
middle
of
caitlin
nelson
perpendicular
to
to
park
ave
that
one.
We
don't
have
to
worry
as
much
about
the
sight
line,
distance
requirements.
E
Well,
the
sign
you
know
some
signs
like
these
are
flashy
and.
I
I
E
B
D
D
The
signs
that
we
have
out
there
today
can
they
be
changed
wirelessly,
I
believe
so.
Okay,.
L
A
Okay,
I
have
a
question
for
the
attorney
staff
in
there
in
the
finding
one
says
that
it
doesn't
appear
to
be
a
hardship
under
the
statute.
Do
we
need
to
make
a
positive
finding
on
all
nine
of
those
steps
to
approve
it?.
M
Basically,
the
finding
is
that
the
request
made
by
the
applicant
is
based
on
competent,
substantial
evidence.
That's
your
determined!
That's
your
standard
review!
Okay.
So
if
the,
if
the
evidence
that's
presented
by
the
applicant
in
your
opinion,
is
competent
substantial
to
support
that
decision,
then
your
decision
is
based
on
that
evidence
and
therefore
so.
I
M
M
So
as
the
therefore,
the
city
can
govern
its
land,
its
proprietary
land
as
it
as
it
desires
and-
and
it
usually
goes
in
a
kind
of
a
hierarchy,
so
in
theory
a
county
property
within
the
city,
the
county
would
not
have
to
be.
It
would
not
have
to
follow
city
codes
if
the
city,
if
the
county's
property
is
for
use
for
a
governmental,
proprietary
purpose,.
K
No,
I
understand,
I
just
find
it
ironic.
We
had
all
the
pushback
on
the
sign
for
the
church,
the
digital
sign
that
was
smaller
than
this
and
now
when
the
city
wants
to
do
it.
Well,
it's
not
a
big
deal,
it's
fine,
so
that
you
follow
him,
and
I
understand
that
this
is
for
a
public
use.
It
reminds
me
of
a
public
domain
discussion.
K
A
L
L
Signs
and
they're
talking
about
130
square
feet,
we're
talking
about
130
square
feet.
Overall,
the
sine
portion
of
this
is
only
68
square
feet,
so
the
bottom.
J
L
L
So
bottom
line
is.
This
is
all
wireless.
L
It
is
done
through
the
cloud
nowadays,
there's
no
need
to
go
out
and
be
present,
there's
it
can
be
done
by
a
remote
phone
or
a
laptop
or
whatever
it
is
ip
address,
so
that
the
city
would
be
the
only
one
who
could
change
the
message
and
I'm
sure
it
all
relates
to
the
the
fact
that
this
would
be
announcing
on
northwest
rec,
I'm
sure
that's
announcing
ball
games,
etc,
as
it
is
kit
kitlin
nelson
park,
so
you've
got
a
lot
of
festives
festivals
that
come
up
to
the
standards
of
what
these
signs
advertise
for.
L
These
are
totally
programmable
they're
made
by
watchfire
one
of
the
leaders
in
the
industry
which
we
represent.
So
the
bottom
line
is
there's
an
eight-second
interval.
Okay-
and
this
is
all
done
by
knits.
Knits-
is
a
lighting
aperture
that
they
gauge
how
bright
these
things
can
be.
These
can
be
lowered
down
from
100
all
the
way
down
into
the
40
value
and
still
be
visible,
depending
on
what
kind
of
sunlight
that
you're
pressing
against
it,
whether
it's
you
know
direct,
sunlight
or
or
indirect
sunlight.
L
So
a
lot
of
these
things
are
not
even
applicable
with
with
respect
to
a
variance.
You
have
to
meet
certain
criteria
with
this.
This
is
kind
of
like
the
cart
before
the
horse.
They
brought
this
into
the
deal
they.
Basically,
it
was
bid
on
through
a
a
bidding
source
that
all
the
cities
counties
go
on,
that
we
monitor
and
that's
how
this
was
awarded.
L
E
A
A
A
F
B
K
And
I
don't
necessarily
think
somebody
would
complain
about
it.
Maybe
somebody
lives
across
the
street.
You
know
it's
in
there.
You
know
the
light
shines
in
their
windows
at
night
or
something,
but
I
I
think
that
the
better
path
would
have
been
put
in
the
paper.
We're
going
to
have
a
hearing
on
this.
Just
republicans.
A
Okay,
it
sounds
like
we're
not
going
to
have
a
unanimous
vote
on
this
one,
so
I'm
going
to
just
call
the
roll
for
the
vote.
Okay,
let's
see
commissioner
gessler
no
okay,
commissioner.
Yes,
commissioner
norwood
commissioner.
A
M
A
C
C
The
major
development
plan
details
the
development
of
infrastructure
servicing
a
proposed
industrial
warehouse
and
office
space
development,
totaling
up
to
42
111
square
feet
on
7.37
acres,
a
five-foot
sidewalk
will
be
constructed
along
herbent
smith
road.
The
development
will
have
two
full
access
connections
on
hermit
smith,
road
and
a
right
turn.
Lane
will
be
installed
at
both
access
points
on
hermit
smith,
road.
C
C
The
proposed
architectural
elevations
meet
the
requirements
of
the
land,
development
code
and
design
guidelines,
drc
recommends
approval,
staff
recommends
approval
and
the
recommended
motion
is
to
recommend
approval
of
the
epg
700
hermit
smith.
Major
development
plan
staff
and
applicant
are
here
to
answer
any
questions.
F
O
Yes,
thank
you.
My
name
is
andy
girdum
girdum
engineering,
13520,
shakamak,
carmel,
indiana
so
way
down
for
the
day,
so,
but
so
the
it
does
have
a
detention
facility
on
there.
This
actually
is
a
recharge
area,
so
it's
got
a
really
high
infiltration
rate,
so
it
we
have
an
oversized
actually
because
we're
required
to
infiltrate
a
lot
of
the
water.
So
it
does.
O
Yeah,
so
you
were
required
to
do
the
requirement
in
that
area.
You
know
is
