Description
City of Tarpon Springs Planning and Zoning Board Meeting July 18, 2016
A
B

A
D

Okay,
thank
you.
The
first
application
number
16
dash
55
has
been
deferred
to
the
august
15
2016
meeting,
so
we
will
go
to
application
number
1662
LDC
amendment
article
and
13
section
22
26.00
amending
the
number
of
alternates
for
the
board
of
adjustment
to
be
consistent
with
the
section
12
of
the
city's
charter
and
I
guess
we'll
hear
from
the
city
please
before.
E
We
begin
I
just
do
need
to
read
the
quasi-judicial
announcement,
so
both
applications,
four
and
five-
are
quasi
judicial
in
nature,
and
since
this
is
a
quasi
judicial
proceeding
where
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Board
acts
in
a
quasi-judicial
rather
than
a
legislative
capacity
at
a
quadrant
judicial
hearing,
it
is
not
the
board's
function
to
make
law,
but
rather
apply
law
that
has
already
been
established.
It
was
a
judicial
hearing.
E
The
board
is
required
by
law
to
make
findings
of
fact,
based
upon
the
evidence,
presented
the
hearing
and
applied
those
findings
of
fact
to
previously
established
criteria
containing
the
code
of
ordinances
in
order
to
make
a
legal
decision
regarding
the
application
before
it.
The
more
board
may
only
consider
evidence
at
this
hearing
that
the
law
considers
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
to
the
issues.
E
If
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
at
the
hearing
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
met
the
criteria
established
in
the
code
of
ordinance,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
in
favor
of
the
applicant.
By
the
same
token,
if
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
that
the
hearing
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
failed
to
meet
the
criteria
established
in
the
code
of
Orden,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
against
the
applicant
with
the
applicant.
Please
stand
and
raise
her
right
hand
so
that
we
can
swear
you
in.
E
F
And
within
with
that,
this
is
a
application
that
the
city
sponsored
application
to
amend
the
land
development
code,
specifically
section
2
206
of
the
ordinance,
and
essentially
that
section
of
the
ordinance
deals
with
alternate
well
be
one
deals
with
alternates
for
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
It
has
come
to
the
city's
attention
for
the
chairperson
of
the
BOA,
doing
some
research
that
that
section
of
the
Charter
states
that
there
are
two
alternates
should
be
appointed
to
that
board
to
vote
in
the
absence
of
regular
members.
F
At
this
point,
the
land
development
code
only
has
one
alternate,
so
the
city
is
considering,
or
has
prepared
this
amendment
to
essentially
change
that
section
of
the
LDC
to
be
consistent
with
the
Charter,
with
section
12
of
the
Charter
and
so
attached
as
the
ordinance.
That
shows
that
change
in
the
language
and
with
that
staff
really
doesn't
have
anything
else
to
present
other
than
we're
recommending
approval
of
this
change.
E
B
E
G
D
D
A
B
F
This
some
actually
arose
out
of
several
different
requests
by
folks
in
the
public
to
amend
some
of
the
uses
that
are
allowed
within
some
of
our
land
use
categories,
specifically
in
Section
25
04,
which
is
a
conditional
residential
mixed
district.
That's
an
area
we
have
an
area
out
here
and
actually
the
Jesse
Burke
law
is
in
this
land
use
district.
There
has
been
a
petition
that,
or
the
pretty
will
be
petition,
moving
forward
to
request
a
community
garden
on
that
location
or
our
potential
community
garden.
F
The
board
hasn't
decided
that
that's
where
the
community
gardens
going
to
go,
but
since
it's
been
identified
as
one
of
the
potential
locations,
we
would
need
to
amend
the
land
use
category
to
allow
for
that
community
garden.
Use
in
that
land
use
district
was
that
land
use
district
does
not
recognize
it's
very
interesting.
This
is
a
little
bit
more
intensive
of
the
land
use
district.
It's
meant
to
be
a
mixed
residential
district
where
you've
got
some
multifamily
type
uses
that
are
allowed
there,
as
well
as
single
family.
F
However,
in
our
100,
which
is
probably
our
most
restrictive,
single-family
use,
community
gardens
aren't
allowed
use
by
right,
so
you
could
go
in.
You
could
come
in
if
you
had
a
piece
of
r100
and
say
I
would
like
to
establish
a
community
garden
and
right
now
you
could
permit
it
under
this
section
of
the
code
for
this
land,
you
sister,
you
can't
have
that
same
ability
so
because
this
particular
district
is
a
conditional
district.
F
It's
a
district,
a
lot
of
the
uses
that
are
not
straight
single-family
residential
require
a
conditional-use
staff
is
recommending
for
community
gardens.
If,
if
somebody
wants
to
establish
me
yard,
they
would
need
to
come
through
that
commute
that
conditional
use
process
which
would
allow
this
board
and
the
board
of
commissioners
to
decide
if
that
community
use
is
as
that
community
garden
is
a
compatible
use
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
F
So
it
puts
those
controls
in
in
the
hands
of
the
BOC
to
determine
if
it's
a
use,
that's
appropriate
for
that
particular
piece
of
property,
that
specific
piece
of
property
that
is
owned.
This
crm
see
this
that
zone
CRM.
So
that's
what's.
The
first
portion
of
this
is
actually
requesting
is
to
allow
for
that
community
garden
use
as
a
conditional
use
under
that
district.
Currently,
it's
not
allowed
for
as
a
conditional
use
or
any
type
of
use
in
that
district.
So
that's
the
first
piece.
F
Schools
of
general
education
are
not
allowed
in
that
district,
so
once
again,
staff
is
at
has
is
asking
to
have
that
allow
that
use
put
into
as
our
allowed
useless
under
the
conditional
uses,
so
thats
cool.
We
can
evaluate
any
school
that
potentially
is
going
in
through
that
conditional
use
process.
So
if
it's
not
compatible
with
the
uses
that
are
around
it,
we
at
least
can
can
evaluate
it
during
the
conditional
use
process
to
determine
whether
it's
compatible
or
not.
Ask
that
question.
So
that's
what
why
staffs
asking
for
that?
F
The
other
use
that
kind
of
fell
out
as
a
result
of
an
attempt
to
come
into
compliance
with
the
remote
legislation,
which
is
the
religious
and
institutional
persons
act,
was
commercial
recreational
uses.
We
actually
have
a
gym
right
now,
that
is,
in
the
ir
district
to
crossfit,
which
is
very
common
CrossFit's
like
to
be
in
industrial
areas,
because
they
need
big
warehouse
space
to
do
the
type
of
exercise
program
they
do.
F
As
a
result,
all
the
common
unity
assembly
uses
were
pulled
out
at
the
time
because
we're
having
issues
with
religious
part
with
with
religious
issues
just
wanting
to
go
into
I.
Our
staff
feels
that,
in
this
particular
case,
putting
commercial
recreational
uses
back
into
the
I
our
district
and
allowing
them
via
the
conditional
use
process
allows
the
board
again
this
board
and
the
board
commissioners
the
controls
they
need
to
determine.
If
those
are
consistent,
CrossFit's
have
shown
that
they
are
consistent
use
within
the
residential
district.
They
don't
have
any
negative
impacts
in
a
resident
area.
F
Sorry,
in
a
car
in
a
industrial
district,
they
don't
have
any
over
floor
impacts.
So,
as
a
result,
we
want
to
provide
this
board
and
the
board
of
commissioners
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
approve
those
uses
under
those
conditional
uses,
both
the
the
school
of
general
education
and
the
commercial
recreational
facilities
which
are
again
would
be
more
of
the
CrossFit's
I
mean
the
anytime
fitness's.
F
So
this
would
allow
for
those
types
of
flexibility,
flexible
uses
in
that
I,
our
district
and
where
our
IR
is
located,
it
would
be
appropriate
for
us
to
look
at
that
at
a
conditional
use
and
say
no.
This
is
really
more
of
a
very
industrial
corridor.
We
need
to.
You
know
not
allow
that
use
here,
but
maybe
where
there
are,
we
have
places
at
our
IR
that
are
actually
adjacent
to
your
highway
business
district,
maybe
that's
more
appropriate
in
those
districts.
F
So
it's
just
providing
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
in
our
way
and
development
code
in
these
particular
land
use
districts
for
these
uses
that
people
are
interested
in
actually
pursuing.
So
that's
that's!
The
genesis
of
this
particular
application.
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
that
you
might
have
questions.
F
In
this
particular
residential
category,
this
conditional
residential
mixed,
which
actually
have
some
of
it
just
down
here
from
this
particular
building
right
along
ring
Avenue,
there's
a
couple
other
plate
pockets
of
it
in
the
in
the
city
that
just
in
that
land
use
category,
you
are
currently
not
allowed
to
have
a
community
garden.
Now
you
can
have
your
individual
garden
grow
it
with
your
habit
with
your
house
or
with
your
with,
whatever
other
use
that
you
have
on
that
property.
F
That's
allowed
and
land
use,
but
you
currently
cannot
have
as
a
use
by
right
on
its
own,
a
community
garden.
So
that's
what
the
city
is
seeking
to
allow
that
to
happen.
If
this
piece
down
here
is
allowed
for
that's
the
old
Jesse
Burke
property,
if
that
piece
that
the
board
decides
to
go
after
that
piece,
this
amendment
is
necessary
to
allow
them
to
establish
a
community
garden.
Their
civic
uses
can
go
there,
but
specifically
community
gardens
are
identified
in
your
land
development
code.
F
The
only
land
use
they've
been
assigned
to
is
the
r100
district,
so
at
this
particular
time
requiring
them
to
have
a
come
back
and
have
a
conditional-use
will
give
this
board
and
the
board
of
commissioners
control
over
what
that
design
is
going
to
look
like
for
community
garden,
what
types
of
things
that
are
going
to
be
grown
there
now
this
is
a
very
small
piece
of
property.
It's
not
going
to
be
some
massive
agricultural
operation.
You
can't
fit
it
there.
F
What
they're
talking
about
is
doing
raised
beds
so
there'll
be
space
between
those
raised
beds,
so
they're
going
to
be
limited
in
the
amount
of
these
raised
beds
that
they
can
get
on
that
property.
Okay,
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
different.
It's
not
just
because
we're
going
to
dig
in
the
ground
and
they're
going
to
put
in
their
little
plot.
It's
actually
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
elaborate
or
they'll.
F
Have
these
raised
beds
and
they
their
their
plan
at
this
particular
time,
is
to
even
have
some
handicap
accessible
beds,
which
is
kind
of
an
interesting
concept,
I'm
kind
of
interested
to
see
how
that
how
those
work
out
as
well.
So
those
are
the
type
of
things,
but
they
still
would
have
to
come
through
that
controlling
process
of
the
conditional
use
which
lets
us
put
the
conditions
of
could
troll
like
hours
of
operation.
You
know
you
know,
house
water
going
to
be
service
to
the
site.
How
are
we
going
to
deal
with
a
DA
compatibility?
F
You
know
all
those
concerns
that
we
may
have
with
development
of
a
more
commercial
type
use
on
a
residential
piece
of
property.
Ideally,
in
this
particular
situation,
you've
got
this
community
building
right
down
the
street
from
that
property.
So
some
of
the
things
that
you
would
normally
have
to
provide
at
a
community
garden-
you
actually
don't.
F
You
won't
need
to
because
you'll
be
able
to
come
to
this
building
use
a
bathroom
you'll,
be
able
to
utilize
the
parking
lot
here,
you'll
be
able
to
utilize
some
of
those
things,
so
they
can
actually
provide
less
of
that.
But
by
that
conditional
use
process
we
will
set
the
parameter
as
this
board
and
the
board
Commission
will
set.
The
parameters
is
that
that
property
has
chosen
for
how
it's
going
to
be
developed
in
utilize
under
that
condition,
reviews
so.
F
You
know
we
had
them,
tell
us
basically
what
they
were
looking
to
do
and
we
put
conditions
on
their
approvals
based
on
what
we
felt
as
a
group
here
I
mean
the
staff
recommends
it,
but
obviously
you
can
amend
whatever
conditions,
you
think
are
more
appropriate
or
recommend
conditions,
and
we
basically
put
those
conditions
on
that.
We
think
are
most
appropriate
to
protect
not
only
the
use
that
going
in
there,
but
also
the
surrounding
uses,
because
it's
not
just
a
used
to
going
in
there
that
they're
just
allowed
by
right.
F
They
actually
are
asking
you
permission
to
do
a
specialized
use.
You
are
giving
what's
called
a
special
exception.
You
are
providing
them
an
opportunity.
They
wouldn't
normally
get
out
of
the
zoning
category,
so
that
gives
you
the
right
to
further
scrutinize
that
ask
for
our
site
plans,
which
you
generally
get
with
conditional
uses,
ask
for
design
standards
and
that
type
of
thing
so
you'll
see
some
of
that
come
forward.
F
If
this
passes
and
if
the
Jesse
Burke
property
that's
down
here,
is
actually
chosen
as
that
site
for
community
garden,
because
the
ideas
they
want
to,
they
want
to
prototype
that
community
garden,
that
first
one
that
they
do
and
possibly
expand
it
to
other,
can
be
other
neighborhoods
if
they're
interested
in
across
the
city.
Now
that
may
require
additional
changes
to
the
land
development
coup,
but
at
this
time
we're
just
looking
at
the
one
particular
land
use
category
where
we
feel
there's
the
most
viable
site
at
this
point
in
time.
Thank.
D
F
A
F
It
you've
got
two
different
types
of
Zoning.
One
side
of
the
street
is
that
special
area
plan
which
you're
talking
about
the
ecovillage
projects
coming
into
that
special
airplane
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
where
the
Jesse
Berg
property
is
located
and
that
matter
of
fact,
that
cottage
was
moved
from
one
side
of
the
street
to
the
other.
That
actually
is
the
conditional
residential
mix.
F
It
is
not
in
the
special
area
plan,
so
it
right
now
allows
for
residential
uses,
and
it
allows
for
this
board
and
the
board
of
commissioners
to
approve
some
conditional
type
uses
usually
attached
housing
requires
you
guys
to
review
it
on
some.
Some
types
of
semi
detached
and
other
uses
are
allowed
in
that
district,
but
it
has
to
come
through
the
conditional
use
process
right
now.
So
we're
asking
to
add
this.
So
it's
not
in
direct
conflict
with
the
request
and
the
intention
of
this
area,
but
it's
a
different
use
than
one
was
envisioned.
A
This
as
the
step
they
showed
on
the
Sunday
morning,
program,
there's
a
beautiful
residential
development
right
out
of
Washington
DC
in
your
line,
they're
beautiful
expensive,
but
it's
called
the
farm
development
and
behind
all
these
homes.
There's
a
big
farm
and
everybody
that
lives
in
this
development
has
their
own
garden.
They're,
raising
chickens,
they've
got
cows
and
they
said
it's
becoming
a
new
concept
in
the
United
States
and
development,
where
people
can
have
their
own
produce.
They
go
for
their
eggs
and
everything.
We
don't
have
anything
like
that.
A
I
think
I,
don't
even
think
we
have
land
in
car
brings
peace
them,
but
that's
something.
Maybe
we
need
to
look
into
far
wait
for
developer
to
come
in.
This
was
on
the
Sunday
morning
program
every
Sunday
and
a
if
you
want
to
go
ego
into
their
program
on
the
computer
and
feed
the
developments
that
they've
done
it
very
naughty
successful.
A
But
that's
what
they're
doing
three
in
Illinois
to
in
Alabama
and
I
think
there
was
one
big
point:
they're
getting
ready
to
do
out
west,
because
this
is
the
way
and
the
norm
that
the
American
people
are
going
to
go.
Now,
because
of
health,
food
and
health
reasons,
but
like
I
said,
these
homes
are
not
cheap
and
you
pay
to
have
this
farm
area
and
you
under
their
code
of
this
development,
everybody
worked
them
really
I.
A
F
You
have
you
have
two
different
actual
trends
that
have
been
going
on
in
the
country
for
about
20
years
now.
One
is
urban
agriculture
people
are
trying
to
reconnect
with
the
with
the
art
with
with
local
produce.
The
other
thing
is
the
local
produce,
first
movement,
which
is
pushing
you
know
the
use
of
farmers
markets,
that's
having
to
get
local
produce
into
the
restaurants
and
into
the
schools
and
into
people's
kitchens
that
is
locally
produced.
F
So
it's
local
first
movement,
along
with
urban
agriculture
and
there's
yeah
and
there's
a
variety
of
different
ways
that
you
can
you
can
utilize
this
community
gardens
go
back
to
the
Victory
Gardens
during
World
War,
two
really
and
it's
they
were
really
an
attempt
for
folks
to
grow
some
of
their
own
food
to
offset
the
work.
The
issues
that
were
situations
that
were
going
with
rationing
during
the
war
but
they've
become
a
resurgence
really
often
in
cities.
F
Now
tarpon
doesn't
have
the
same
type
of
blight
and
things
that
you
see
up
in
some
of
the
northern
cities.
But
this
has
been
a
very
productive
and
useful
thing.
Albany
has
done
a
lot
with
basically
their
pocket.
They
end
up
being
pocket.
Little
community
gardens
were
local
people
in
the
neighborhood
kind
of
adopt
a
piece
of
property.
They
work
that
property
communally
and
they
share
and
they
share
in.
Basically
the
rewards
of
during
their
growing
season
same
thing
in
youngstown,
ohio
is
done,
the
same
thing
and
there's
there's
all
kinds
of
different
examples.
F
You
are
correct
there.
There
are
opportunities.
Your
are
also
correct.
That's
we're
going
to
have
some
difficulty
here
in
Tarpon
if
somebody
wants
to
come
in
and
do
some
that,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
property
where
we
have
green
fields
left
for
somebody
to
cut
up
property
into
the
type
of
sizing
that
you
would
need
to
do.
A
A
F
Going
to
require
someone
else
something
else
in
this
particular
case,
there
is
no
allowance
for
them
to
sell
directly
from
that
piece
of
property.
They
would
either
have
to
go
to
another
commercial
location
where
they
can
actually
read,
URI
tale
sales,
or
they
would
have
to
don't
like
they
could
donate
the
food
or
give
away
the
food
on
that
property,
but
they
couldn't
actually
derive
a
profit
from
that
property.
Now
they
could
take
it
off
off
site.
F
A
F
Would
depend
on
it
would
depend
on
what's
actually
allowed
on
that
piece
of
property
you're
in
the
special
area
plan
there.
So
we'd
have
to
look
at
the
uses.
A
lot
of
the
special
airplane
I,
don't
know
that
community
gardens
were
envisioned
for
that
special
airplane,
because
the
end,
the
idea
of
the
cs
of
the
CRA
was
for
Community
Redevelopment
for
economic
development,
but
I'm
not
saying
that.
It's
not
something
that
we
can't
look
at
and
provide
for
another
opportunity
if
the
board
is
interested
in
doing
that.
But
it's
something
we'd
have
to
do.
F
A
A
D
D
B
F
F
Tarpon
turtle
will
has
been
deferred
to
that
meeting
to
that
meeting
directly,
but
also
on.
That
was
only
because
the
agenda
was
already
ready
when
they,
when
they
didn't
get
their
plans
to
us
on
time,
there's
also
a
couple
other
projects
that
potentially
could
make
it
to
your
August
meeting,
we're
waiting
on
responses
from
the
applicants.
At
this
point.
