D
F
So
here's
a
little
bit
of
background
regarding
the
verandas
in
2006.
It
was
a
extend
the
property.
The
entire
property
was
anx
10,
that
was
by
a
private
developer.
In
2007,
we
had
a
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
future
lane
use
amendment,
changing
it
from
low
density,
residential
in
the
county
to
high
density
residential
city
for
15
units
per
acre.
F
In
that
ordinance
there
was
an
affordable
housing
condition
placed
in
2007.
The
property
was
rezoned
from
agricultural
estate
and
residential
multifamily
county
to
neighborhood
center
city,
which
permitted
density
at
15
units
per
acre
in
2009,
the
puna
gorda
housing
authority
acquired
the
vacant
site.
It
amended
the
affordable
house,
the
affordable
housing
condition
as
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
Future
land
use
amendment
it
re-zoned
the
property
from
neighborhood
center
to
a
planned
development,
neighborhood
slash
neighborhood
center.
It
came
with
a
site-specific
plan,
but
half
of
lot
15
was
excluded
and
retained
the
neighborhood
center
zoning
classification.
F
In
2014
we
amended
the
plan
development
with
a
different
site
plan
which
that
reduced
parking
requirements
and
setback
requirements
and
permitted
parking
in
front
of
buildings
in
2018
they
added
they
rezoned
to
the
planned
development
neighborhood
center.
For
the
second
half
the
vacant,
half
of
lot
15
added
a
site-specific
plan
and
permitted
affordable
housing
that
was
not
specifically
limited
to
senior
affordable
housing,
have
a
driveway
separation,
less
than
20
feet,
building
sizes
in
excess
of
15
000
feet
and
building
heights
of
up
to
50
feet.
F
F
The
driveway
will
be
in
excess
of
24
feet
in
width,
at
the
property
line
and
through
the
right
of
way
the
building
size
will
exceed
15.
Each
building
size
will
exceed
15
000
square
feet.
The
building
height
will
be
up
to
50
feet
in
height
and
it
does
permit
parking
permitted
in
front
of
buildings
and
it
reduces
the
setback
requirement
for
the
clubhouse
from
the
stormwater
retention
pond.
F
Since
this
is
consistent
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan,
it
fulfills
the
need
for
affordable
housing.
The
density
is
15
units
per
acre
based
on
the
total
owner-controlled
acreage.
It
amends
a
site-specific
plan
with
minor
deviations
from
the
land
development
regulations,
which
include
driveway,
width,
building,
size
and
height
parking
and
setbacks.
F
B
F
B
B
So
when
I
take
out
the
parking
lot,
the
landscaped
area,
the
drainage,
the
dumpsters,
whatever
else
we
have
to
remove,
we
could
be
left
with
I'll
pick
a
number
13
acres,
so
the
density
is
not
for
the
total
parcel.
The
density
is
for
the.
F
F
B
E
Lisa,
could
I
go
back
a
little
bit.
This
area
was
originally
zoned
for
200
units.
Isn't
that
correct.
E
It's
14.9
units
per
acre
if
you
take
200,
divided
by
13
point,
whatever
it's
14.9,
but
the
original
plan,
which
was
included
eight
and
a
half
acres
in
the
development,
and
I
think
these
four
and
a
half
acres
were
set
aside
for
a
senior
center
that
was
supposed
to
have
been
developed
by
the
city
event.
At
one
time.
F
No,
this
was
all
privately
owned
by
a
private
developer
when
it
was
annexed
into
the
city
when
that
was
annexed
into
the
city
by
gabe
bove
back
in
2006,
it
was
rezoned
in
2007
to
neighborhood
center.
It
was
that
intent
to
have
a
certain
portion
of
it
for
affordable
housing
for
sale
units
and
they
had
a
self-imposed
cap
on
what
they
wanted:
their
density
density
to
be
of
176
units
as
part
of
the
neighborhood
center.
F
It
was
the
plan
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
commercial
component
in
there
for
like
a
daycare
or
a
ymca,
maybe
a
laundromat
things
like
that.
That
is
about
the
height
of
when
the
market
tanked.
So
the
the
property
was
not
developed.
It
was
acquired
by
the
housing
authority,
so
they
amended
that
affordable
housing
condition
where
it
didn't
have
to
be
sale
units
it
could
be
rental
units
and
city
council
can
remove
the
condition
of
the
requirement
of
commercial
development
in
there,
so
that
was
removed
from
the
request.
F
So
it
became
a
senior
affordable
housing
development.
This
other
half
was
just
retained
to
see
what
the
market
would
bring
when
they
got
ready
to
develop
it.
So
right
now,
I
should
say
back
in
2018:
they
removed
the
condition
for
affordable
senior
housing
to
allow
it
for
affordable
housing
without
the
age
qualification
on
it.
F
Self-Imposed
density
restriction
back
in
beginning
in
2006
up
to
2018
they're,
taking
that
self-imposed
density
restriction
off
of
there
right
now
to
go
with
the
total
and
that's
what
it
would
be:
it'd
be
200.85
units
or
201
units.
So
what
they're
doing
their
study
on
is
based
on?
What
would
be
permitted
is
the
200,
200
or
201
units
over
the
entire
site.
E
A
E
B
E
B
E
F
F
D
I
would
like
to
suggest,
however,
that
if
some
of
these
confusing
questions
or
issues
that
that
members
of
the
planning
commission
are
not
clear,
certain
of
and
want
clarification,
it'd
be
worth
your
while
to
contact
city
staff
in
advance
of
this
meeting
and
get
that
clarification,
just
as
the
city
council
members
do
prior
to
their
city
council
meeting
okay,
mr
warner.
B
Two
questions:
affordable
housing
can
never
go
away
right.
Lisa.
F
D
I
think
it'd
be
worth
asking
the
applicant
about
that
in.
G
Good
afternoon,
jerry
waxle
with
the
mccrory
law
firm,
I
have
been
sworn
I'm
here
today,
representing
the
punta
gorda
housing
authority
and
north
store
north
star
development,
usa,
limited
partnership,
we're
seeking
an
amendment
to
an
existing
planned
development
on
a
4.52
acre
parcel
on
airport
road
in
order
to
increase
the
number
of
units
from
56
to
not
more
than
80..
The
fact
that
this
is
an
existing
parcel
is
very
important
arizona,
already
an
approval
on
this
site
for
four
buildings,
a
clubhouse,
a
playground,
the
attendant
parking
it
exists
today.
G
G
The
difference
is
that
the
two
eastern
buildings
which
are
adjacent
to
the
existing
senior
apartment
community
at
the
corner
of
airport
in
cooper,
the
two
buildings
closest
to
there-
have
been
enlarged
from
a
16
and
8
unit,
building
to
224
unit
buildings
and
the
playground
has
moved
slightly
north
of
its
original
location.
So
all
we're
really
talking
about
today
is
a
modification
to
enlarge
two
buildings
so
that
we
can
take
our
units
from
the
approved
56
to
not
more
than
80.
from
the
street
and
from
the
properties
to
the
west
and
the
north.
G
This
project
is
going
to
look
almost
exactly
like
it
would
look
if
it
was
built
under
the
existing
approval.
An
amendment
to
the
pd
rezoning
requires
several
findings.
An
analysis
of
those
findings
is
provided
in
the
application
which
I
submit
into
the
record
and
in
the
staff
report,
and
you
just
heard
a
summary
of
that
from
lisa
hannon.
Briefly,
the
request
has
to
be
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
This
is
an
infill
site
that
will
meet
a
significant
public
need,
which
is
for
affordable
housing.
G
The
demand
for
affordable
housing
far
outstrips
the
supply
in
both
the
city
and
the
county.
One
of
the
reasons
why
we're
looking
to
expand
the
number
which
we
can
do
essentially
within
the
same
4.56
acres,
the
community,
will
add
to
its
diversity
of
housing
types
by
adding
apartment
units.
Those
are
few
and
far
between
in
the
city
of
puna
gorda.
The
approach
proposed
apartments
are
compatible
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
It
is
adjacent
to
the
housing
authority's
existing
apartment
community
and
is
in
a
neighborhood
that
contains
a
variety
of
housing
types
as
well
as
non-residential
uses.
G
G
The
project
site
contains
no
environmentally
sensitive
areas
and,
most
importantly,
its
location
is
within
walking
distance
of
a
preschool,
an
elementary
school,
a
middle
school
and
a
high
school,
and
within
walking
distance
to
shopping
and
employment
opportunities.
It
is
ideally
located
for
an
affordable
housing
community.
G
The
puna
gorda
housing
authority's
mission
is
to
provide
affordable
housing.
There
was
a
question
as
to
how
long
this
will
remain:
affordable
housing
and
one
of
the
ways
that
they
are
going
to
do
that.
The
reason
that
they
are
in
partnership
with
northstar
is
they
will
be
seeking
some
of
the
tax
credits
that
are
available
for
developing
these
types
of
product
projects.
G
Those
tax
credits
require
a
50-year
deed
restriction.
Maintaining
affordability
for
a
minimum
of
50
years,
so
this
project
isn't
going
to
be
built
and
10
years
from
now
become
a
condominium
project
or
a
market
rate
apartment
complex.
It
will
be
required
in
order
to
get
built
and
needs
those
tax
credits
and
those
tax
credits
require
a
minimum
50-year
restriction
that
it
remain
and
stays
affordable.
G
B
B
B
It
would
be,
I
I
think,
feasible
to
put
a
second
handicap
space
on
the
other
break
of
the
building,
so
that
handicapped
or
disabled
people
don't
have
to
walk
so
far.
That's
that's
number
one
number
two.
I
can't
find
the
dumpsters
and
number
three.
I
know
we
don't
require
it
and
everybody
hates
it.
But
I
like
tree
islands,
just
comment.
Excuse
me,
I
like
tree
islands,
that's
not
one!
Two,
three!
That's
from
new
jersey!
That's
a
tree.
F
If,
if
I
may,
mr
chair,
if
I
may,
please
lisa
hannon's
owning
official,
so
all
of
mr
weiner's
comments,
the
ada
requirement
the
ada
accessible
parking,
all
that
will
be
addressed
when
the
plans
come
in
for
development
review
that
is
reviewed
by
our
building
department.
F
As
far
as
the
landscaping,
there
are
landscape
requirements.
If
they
they
have
to
meet
all
the
landscape
requirements,
they
have
to
have
landscape
islands,
every
10
parking
spaces.
That
is
a
requirement
by
our
code,
so
there
will
be
at
least
an
island
every
10
spaces,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
other
I
forgot.
G
D
D
B
D
D
B
Ed,
no
sir,
I'm
not
talking.
A
C
D
F
Yes,
there's
a
sidewalk
that
comes
out
of
the
verandas
and
goes
to
the
corner
of
cooper
street,
there's
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
bloom
academy.
F
That
goes
all
the
way
to
the
well
to
the
manufactured
home
park
as
well
as
to
publix,
and
that
is
a
part
of
one
of
our
capital
improvement
plans
to
have
a
multi-use
recreational
trail.
There,
a.
