was advertised. However, the staff did not put that on the agenda. The applicant requested it be on September's agenda. Okay. Do we need to read that into the record or did you just I just announced it for the record. Yes, sir. Out of boy. Okay.
Item number one, legislative ordinance number 3105, future land use, 724 West Keen Road. Owners Dave Diwar Keen 40 LLC. Applicant Logan Upsol. Mr. Hamza.
Good evening everyone. My name is Air Hamza. Um the applicant has submitted a small scale future land use amendment for um from agriculture and in progress to residential medium low for properties located at 724 632 and 608 West Keen
Road along with 2751 Martin Road. And all four properties are located on the southeast corner of West Keen Road and Martin Road. These are the vicinity and aerial maps of the 724, 632, and 608 West Keen Road,
and uh 2751 Martin Road properties. The total site area for all four properties combined is around 38.59 acres. The applicant is requesting the future land use amendment to be able to develop a subdivision in the future that includes single family and town homes, single
family homes and town homes. The future land use is agriculture in in progress and uh is proposed to change to residential medium low as shown on the future land use map. The zoning is currently agriculture and transitional proposed to change to RMF residential
multifamily as shown on the zoning map. This is a concept plan of the combined properties um that was sent by the applicant and as you can see it in includes single family and town homes but this is not a um this is not a plan that was submitted as it's just a
concept plan of what could what may or could come in the future. The development review committee has recommended approval. The recommended motion is to recommend approval of the future land use amendment based on the findings and facts presented in the staff report and exhibits. Staff and
applicant are available for further questions and comments. All right. Anyone have questions of staff? I have a question. All right. Commissioner Washington is noted in the staff report that um
we're looking for a proposed residential medium low future land use designation. Um but um it makes me mention that another project may be submitted in the near future uh with the same land use designation.
I'm just curious uh what's the status report on that one? Uh currently they haven't submitted anything as of yet. We've had um u the discussions preliminary discussions um in the you know with staff and uh
just applicant but nothing has been submitted as of yet. Yeah. And to add, that property had been annexed in the city um probably in mid 2024. Uh it's about a 30 something acre tract, but as the mayor had indicated, they've had some preliminary meetings with staff about future land use and
zoning, but that's about as far as we've gotten so far. Okay. So, there's some activity, some discussion about that. Okay, good sir. All right. Any more questions of staff? Very well. Is applicant present? Do they
have a presentation? Good evening. Logan Off, Louns Law Firm, 215 North Yola Drive. Uh, no presentation and I'll be brief. I know it's a big agenda tonight. Thanks to air for the staff report. Um, I'll I'll note this is the uh Doer Nurseries property.
Uh, you're likely familiar that there's two properties that make up that operation. This is the southern portions of south side of Keen Road. So, we're not dealing with the north. I just wanted to make that clear if it wasn't already. So, and um you know the area has seen a lot of growth. Uh you have
Emerson Park, Hilltop Reserve, um Emerson Point. All of those are within under a mile and and at about 15 units per acre. The concept plan we provided was uh really just an exercise in our discussions with commissioners and with
staff. it's to code. Um, but it's conceptual to illustrate that when all of that's laid in to code, uh, trying to maximize the space, uh, it comes out to about five and a half units an acre. Uh, you know, could be up to six. The way
things get clustered in the future, uh, the maximum units would be seven and a half units an acre for our requested future land use and zoning. So, that's that's the reason why you have a concept plan at this juncture. We're not at site plan. That's not what you'll see when
when it comes back before this body, but just wanted to give you a little bit more color on on why we did that uh for compatibility and uh density conversations. So, we have representatives from the applicant team here and myself, of course, happy to answer any specific questions you have. All right. Great. Does anyone have
questions of the No, sir. All right. Very well. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Does anyone from the public wish to speak on this matter? Your name and address for the record, please. Ma'am, good evening. My name is Francina Boyin.
I live at 1484 Elderton Drive, Apakka, Florida, 32703. Um, can I speak? Yeah. Okay. Uh, what whatever you want to say. Oh, sure.
Okay. Um, I'm a native of the region of King Road, uh, Lake Jewel. I listened to the gentleman said he told about the other growth with Emerson Park, Emerson
uh point, you know, and my neighbor new neighbors, the Emerson, I get them mixed up park or point, but uh they're on the east side of Martin Road, which abuts, you know, my the
subdivision abuts my property. They mentioned those subdivisions, but I didn't hear them mention about the stagnant pollution that's in that area with emissions from the landfill, from
the uh wasting center raider. You know, we have all of that in that region. And I've watched this area just bust wide open with growth in the last 15 years. So, uh, with this particular project on
Keen Road, uh, how far are you with the status of accepting or rejecting the applicants application? What other stages or what stage are they
at this point? What we're doing now is the future land use, which is just a change um, Just to clarify, the state has a map of the entire state and we have to request the future land use change that
changes that use from agricultural to industrial, agriculture, residential or vice versa. And then the next step in the process is the zoning, how the city zones that property. Is it residential? Is it industrial? That will be the next agenda item. It's actually right in line
with this. Um, as far as what they build there and how they build that, that comes further in the process. If they they'll submit a site plan and then the planning and staff will go over that. The density level is what we're approving now, what they're going to use
the land for, but not the specifics of how that's going to be done. This is just to say you can build five houses on every acre, but it doesn't say how that's going to be done. That's more specific later on. But there's actually I I believe with the city council included four or maybe correct me Bobby
five more times that this will be in front of somebody and where you'd have a chance to speak and and oh okay give your opinion. I was just curious as to this seemed to be a very like most of the projects have been for the last 10 years, you know, pretty massive and the
traffic that we already endure on shop curve, dead man curve, Martin road, the two-lane twisted highway, I mean roadway, it's not a highway. You know, I grew up when visiting King Road was like we were going out of town.
uh all dirt road now scared to even go down King Road is deadly. It's deadly dangerous. is, you know, two more what 200 H homes. You're saying two two 200 more homes
that would be proposed for this the theoretically, but we don't have a number on that. Again, the specifics aren't. So, is that you said Martin and King Road? Is that on the west? That's on the west side. What do Nursery? Was Der Nursery? It's a nursery.
It's in the southoutheast corner of Martin. Southeast corn. southeast corner because that's where the nursery was, right? Yeah. Well, I was just curious because you know I hope plans are implemented to show how to make modern roads.
It's right right here. Okay. That's that's the nursery that's in the ditch, you know. Yeah. The ner This is the southeast corner of Martin and Ke. Oh, okay. Yes. Yeah. My cousin, they were out there in the 50s. Yes, ma'am. I I understand your concerns
and tell people make sure y'all tell people that it's a landfill. Ma'am, it's a uh Excuse me, ma'am. Incinerator, ma'am. You you you have to speak to the board, not to the people in the audience. Okay.

development amendment. Shops at East Shore owners East Shops LLC. Applicants Lounge Care of Jonathan Hules. Location Northwest corner of AOY Paper Road and West Keem Road. Miss Sanchez. Again, Jean Sanchez with the community
development department. This is a request to recommend approval of the amendment to the shops at East Shore PD. The subject property is situated on the northeast corner of Okoa Papco Road and West Kane Road, approximately 28 acres
in size. The original PD for the shops at Eastshore was approved on November 2023. The property is planned for mixeduse development including commercial and senior housing components. During the site development and subsequent
engineering process, it was determined that the storm water needs of the project could be could be met without the use of lot six previously reserved for storm water pond. The applicant proposes then to amend the PD to allow the commercial development on the lot.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting to convert lot six from a storm water track to commercial out parcel with five with 5,000 square ft of new commercial entitlements, adding tire sales and service as an allowed use within the PD
and incorporate the updated PD master plan and updated exhibits A and B. The DRC recommends approval and the recommended motion is to recommend approval of the proposed shops at Eastshore PD amendment. Staff and

Very well. Commissioner Washington, Mr. Hules. Uh, good evening, Chairman and Commissioners. My name is Jonathan Hules with the Louns Law Firm, 215 North Yola Drive, Orlando 32801. And whenever you're ready, I'm ready to answer your questions.
Could let you sit back there too long. Good to stretch my legs. So, appreciate it. No, I'm just curious. the um so lot six is no longer needed for storm water and uh you're going to develop it by putting
in a tire shop or service. I think that's the case, right? Uh I'm not sure if that's the specific use for that out parcel. Uh the the addition of tire sales and service was was added to this amendment because if if you're opening
up the PD u it's it's a process that requires a lot of work. And so it's oftentimes a developer will say well these are some items I'd like to to tweak if we're going to go in. And so it had been thought for a while to approach
the city. We actually had some dialogue with staff previously about whether tire sales and service was covered by automobile uh service station which was already a permitted use in the PD staff determined it was not. So as part of
this amendment it was it was a cleanup measure to make clear that tire sales and service was a permitted use. Okay. So as the property was being developed, what happened that um made it um that determined that the property was
no longer needed for storm water? Yeah. So how's the storm water? Did you underestimate it? Did you manage it differently? What happened? Good question. So the the plan that Gan had presented and and perhaps that's on
here if I just push it back arrow. Yeah. Um the the area in questions here, I don't know if you can see my parcel six. I see it. So as part of th this project, this mixeduse project that has multiple phases, multiple uses, including dental
office, the Publix that's anchoring the retail, it's got a um a senior housing component. Um it it um this plan needed to be presented as part of the approval of the zoning the PD and
so it was prepared conservatively showing that area as a storm water pond. That was not a engineered plan. It was a con somewhat of a conceptual plan that did not go through the full 100% engineering. Once that process would once the PD was
approved showing that area as a storm water pond that the next steps in the development process were undertaken which include uh the construction site planning and the actual permitting with the water management district. When those exercises were undertaken, it was
determined that the rear dry ponds shown here uh as parcel I believe that's five or six um was was sufficient to accommodate the entire project. And so the engineering plans that now have been
approved by the St. John's River Water Management District and the city for development of the overall parcel property have been designed and will be constructed to accommodate storm water for the entirety. Meaning that this
originally proposed storm water pond on on that fronted it on on the on the public road was no longer necessary and so it could be reprogrammed for a higher and better use than just open space and provide additional retail opportunities
for for the residences in the area. Okay. Thank you. Very well. Anyone? Well, there's only one option. Do you have any questions? Yeah. No.
Very well. Thank you, Mr. Schules. Anyone from the public wish to speak on this matter? Seeing none, we'll bring it back to the board for a motion. Not a lot of options. Got be. Okay. Mr. Chairman, you're going to bend my arm. I'll make the motion.

staff questions applicant is here as well. Thank you, Mr. How to have questions of staff. No, sir. Anyone have questions for the applicant? I do. All right. Very well. The applicant,
please come forward. Good evening. Elisa Salutzen Bowen, 300 South Orange uh South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801. This is just a general question. Um, in your master plan for the whole area, you
have um I think it's like 10 acres or something more than that for a public park for the whole uh development that you're doing there. So, the overall project is 618 acres. It
is proposed for currently 1,52 homes and up to 10 and approximately 10 acres of commercial uses. And then there is proposed a city park that we've been discussing dedicating um approximately 145 acres. Okay.
How this is just general question once you start developing this whenever that happens how soon in the development process will you be doing the park because I understand that becomes a city park at some point along
that is what we are working through right now in terms of time frame we've been working with city staff and the applicant in terms of understanding what makes sense and what would work best but we understand the city would like the park as soon as possible. Okay. So, are you looking at the beginning, the middle, or the end of the
We're looking more towards the beginning. Um potentially at the end of the beginning because the park is proposed to include um a significant a significant amount of trails so that the developer would be installing as well. So, we want to ensure that a the
developer owns the property and b that that development is occurring along with um adjacent development as well. So towards the beginning of the property, towards the beginning of the project as opposed to the end. Okay. Thank you. Of course. Anything else? Anyone else have questions of
the applicant? Very well. Thank you, ma'am. Does anyone from the public wish to speak on this matter? Seeing none, we'll bring it back to the board for motion. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion
to find the proposed amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan and compatible with the character of the surrounding area and recommend approval of the change in future land use designation from county low density to
city residential low suburban or partuki acres. Motion by Commissioner Wood. Thank you, sir. Do I have a second? Second. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Commissioner Washington. All

amendment, Palucci Acres commercial, owner, Palooi Acres LLC. applicant Daniel O'Keefe south side of Ponan Road west of Jason Deli Parkway. Mr. How Thank you once again for the record. Bobby How, planning manager. Applicant has submitted a small scale future land
use amendment from residential low suburban to commercial for a 5.789 acre parcel located on the south side of Ponan Road west of Jason Dwelling Parkway across from Wolf Lake Elementary and Middle Schools. The applicant is requesting the future land use a
amendment to commercial to allow the property to be developed as a non-residential portion of the Pluchi Acres PUD that is currently under review. This is the site location. A little bit of a better look at it. Uh it's approximately here where you see
the word site location and this kind of is the natural buffer of it. The schools are across the street. The park uh the city park is up to the north. The development review committee recommends approval. Recommended motion this evening is approval. If you have any questions, myself and the applicant
are available. Very well. Thank you, Mr. Hal. Anyone have questions of staff? I do. Commissioner Washington. Sir, I need your help. Okay. Need a I need a macro view here. Paluchi Estates
suggest a huge piece of property now. So, um, it looks like this, what we're looking at right here is a piece of the overall property. Yeah. Let me see. We just got finished approving the
residential piece which is on Vic Road, which is below Ponan to the east. So, fill it in for me. Sure. How does all this fit in right states? Yes. And as you heard from the applicant's representative, it's about a
615 acre project. The piece that was just recently uh recommended for approval is down here. This is the 40 acres that I've highlighted. It's in blue. Everything that they've outlined in red is the Pali property. This is the proposed uh area for the possible city
park that's under negotiation. This right here where I'm pointing is the item that's under consideration right now, the commercial piece. Up to the north is more property owned by Paluchi and then on the north side of of Punken Road and it goes on the east side. So
it's a massive piece of property. Uh 615 acres,52 units if I recall correctly is what they had indicated. this piece. There's going to be a commercial parcel that's been depicted on the PUD and we're currently negotiating with the applicant on the fine details of the
PUD, but I believe there was commercial portion proposed right here adjacent dwelling and this would be another commercial area. So, that's kind of the overview of the property and the kind of the missing pieces of it.
So, I I presume that the customer or the customer the applicant is not going to be uh will not find a hardship in developing it with those lakes that are there. There are lakes there, are there not? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
So, uh but all right, they're aware of it, then they are aware of it. Yes, sir. Okay. Anyone else have questions of staff? And we have questions for the applicant. Anyone from the public wish to speak on
this matter? Seeing none, we'll bring it back to the board for a motion. Mr. Chairman, I'll make a motion that we find proposed amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan and compatible with the character of the surrounding area and recommend approval of the
change in future land use designation from residential low suburban to commercial for Paluchi acres. Motion by Commissioner Norwood. Thank you, ma'am. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Commissioner Washington. All

Estates HOA Community, Mega GNG LLC, Jacob Snavely, 4625 Chandler Road LLC, Matthew and Deborah Shaw, Daphne Martin, H Walter Robinson III, Yunick Irevocable
Trust, PM S1 LLC, applicant Luke Clayson, PE. Location 2350 West Kelly Park Road. Mr. How Thank you. For the record, Bobby How, planning manager. The applicant is requesting approval of a major development plan with a total 392 single
family dwelling units at a density of 3.38 dwelling units per acre on 117.16 acres. The neighborhood character zone permits a maximum density of five dwelling units per acre. The master plan was approved for this project by the city council on February 19th, 2025. And
if you'll recall, this came before this board prior to that for a recommendation of approval as well. The design is consistent with the approved master plan and consists of front-loaded and rear loaded lots. Lots range from 34 to 34 feet to 60 ft in width. Within the
formbbased code area of which this project is located, there are no minimum and max minimum and maximum lot size and living area requirements in the formbbased code area. Access to the site is proposed by a west Kelly Park road. A dedication of a 30- foot wide strip for future rightway needs for Kelly Park
Road is detailed on the major development plan was also detailed on the um master plan that was approved by the city council. Roadway and pedestrian connections will be provided to allow cross access to the properties to the west and east as such time they develop
that was depicted on the master plan as well. In accordance with the requirements of formbbased code, 20% of the total site areas required to remain open space, the applicant has provided 32.59% of the site is open space. Common recreation elements include amenity and
pocket parks, green space with internal trail systems, passive open space, recreational areas, and the dedication of a bike trail along Kelly Park Road that has been kind of common place for a lot of developments in the form-based code area, the 12t wide multi-use path that we've been requiring. The applicant
is also dedicating a 15 foot wide strip and a 50 foot wide strip for future rideway needs for Chandler Road along the portion of the property that's under their ownership. Vehicular point of ingress egress will be constructed that will allow access onto the future Chandler Road right away. The
development review committee recommends approval. The recommended motion this evening is approval. Uh myself and the applicant are available for any questions you might have. Thank you, Mr. Hal. Anyone have questions of staff? No, sir. Very well. I do have a quick question.
Um, it's more a detail on the the building setbacks. It says 10 foot minimum, front street side, 15 foot minimum, 30 foot maximum, rear uh for the rear loaded or the front loaded
is the 15t minimum. Is a 15 foot minimum from the easement back to the actual dwelling or is that from the street edge to the dwelling? It's from the back of the curb to the dwelling. So from the back of the curb, so there's a sidewalk put there, then it's a 10 foot driveway. Well, it would be a 15 foot. So what I
was meaning is from the back of the curb. That's where the property begins. So if you have a sidewalk, it's in the ride ofway. So it's on their property. That's where the setback begins. Okay. I understand. All right. Very well. All right.
Anyone have questions of the applicant? I do. All right. the applicant here. There you are. Luke Class 1828 engineering. Your name and address for the record. I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. Um 2400 Maintenance Center
Parkway. Um M Florida 32751. Um question I have concerning the storm water um next to the playground for the uh school. Um just a little concern that a
retention pond is so close to where kids will be out there playing during the course of the day. I know there's a fence that the school has between that property and um the school, but again it's a dry pond. Correct.
Correct. um when it becomes a wet pond sometime during the course of the school year I'm just concerned with you know
um what type of insect activity and that could interfere with the mosquitoes and that um into the school. Well, um I will say it's designed as a dry pond, so it's supposed to it recovers within 72 hours is the
requirements by the state statutes and by city code. Uh it is lower than the school, so everything be draining towards it. As a dry pond, it should not say it shouldn't have water retention in it and produce any insects. Wet ponds would typically be more of a concern with that where you'd have stagnant water.
Yeah. But as a dry pond, it should recover and you won't have um the the ability for the insects to grow there. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else have questions? The Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir. Anyone from the public wish to speak on this matter? Very well. Bring it back to the board for a motion. Mr. Chairman, I'll make a motion to recommend approval of the Spring Haven
Major Development Plan. Motion by Commissioner Norwood. Thank you, ma'am. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Commissioner Washington. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Do we have any old business?
Yeah. Um, Mr. Chair, this will probably fall under old business. U attorney hand I said Mr. Mr. Chair, this would probably fall under old business. Attorney Hand would like to give a little overview of Senate Bill 180 and new platting requirements. Very well. Thank you. And in five
minutes or fewer, I've presented both of these topics before, but I I believe not the full commission wasn't here. Some of the times that I did, I got a specific question as to how it affects this board, these two pieces of legislation. So, brass tax, very simple. Uh Senate
Bill 180 is a comprehensive emergency bill that touches upon uh development among a number of topics um related to emergency management. And essentially what this bill did when it became law is it retroactively to last August and
going f forward to October 1st, 2027 prohibits the city from adopting more restrictive or burdensome amendments to its comprehensive plan or land development regulations. Um this is what caused the uh the comp plan rewrite to
to go through some some reworking. Um also prevents any uh type of moratorum So in other words, what this does is it doesn't change the way that this board works at all, but it does essentially prevent the city from adopting more
burdensome requirements accordingly. You can still make recommendations as a board, but it does tie your hands. If the city were to adopt something, uh there are some penalties in place where someone can challenge that and u basically receive remnumeration for
that. As far as the other bill relating to platting, what this one does is it essentially takes final plats out of both city council's hands and out of this board's hands. So going forward and
uh there's been a temporary resolution adopted by city council. Essentially, it makes any plat approval, final plat approval administrative. And uh there will be a an ordinance presumably coming before this board next month uh scheduled for next month that
accomplishes this change as well as dealing with some of the changes from last year for expedited permitting that relate to platting. So that does change how plats are approved. They're now going to be approved by the city administrator uh through consultation
with the community development part department um in order to comply with the law. That said, as board, you still review the master plan. You still go through that site plan process and subdivision is
contemplated within that process. So, you'll still be looking at how the land is subdivided as uh the development goes through the the development pipeline. And in a nutshell, that's it. And if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer it answer them. Um I'm believe I'm doing
some education on a number of topics. Is it next month or next month? So, if there's something that you think about between now, if you don't have a question today, but if you read something and and have a question next month, we'll have some time to to further address um if you have anything for me. Also, of course, always free to
send me a message and I'm happy to take a look at it and get you any answer you need. Did you just did you just mention one bill or two? Two bills. The uh one relating to emergency management is Senate Bill 180, right? The other one is Senate Bill 784
that specifically addresses planning. Okay. Thank you. Is there like a brief synopsis of that could be emailed to us? We can just read it. Uh the Senate Bill 18 Senate Bill 18 is a very long bill. I should have some
materials on that. I know uh our firm is going to be putting out a memo just updating on some of the leg legislative updates outline. I I'll try to find one for Senate Bill 180. There's already been a lot of material written about it. A massive amount of trouble, but I would just make it easier.
The platting statute is very short. It it simply just says, hey, this has got to be through the administrative process. U now the rest of the the platting chapter doesn't match that change. So, I think that we'll see further changes hopefully um this
upcoming legislative session because right now we've got kind of a peacemeal plat chapter that uh unfortunately isn't entirely coherent. Um it's rather contradictive. No other way to to put it. I think uh you know it was a last minute change and and to get it through
I there's no way that the legislature could do an entire chapter rewrite. So they definitely do have some things to address. Okay. All right. Thank you, sir. So, just real quick, I think you just said the bottom line is the master plan and the site plan comes
to us still goes through the same process. So, nothing changes. The only thing that is different is you will no longer have final plats on on your agenda. That's it. That's it. You can still ask questions about the subdivision during the pipeline process when you're reviewing uh plans and so
forth. Okay. Any other business? new business. Very well.
