Bruce Kavanagh, Ryan Hulcom. Absent is David De, Katherine Hunt, Lisa Ramsey, and Dr. Arian Bryant confirmed, but he's not present. >> Next item agenda is public comment. If anyone wishes to speak on any item
that's not on the agenda, now is the time. Seeing that, I will close public comments. Order of business, we have land development code update work session. I turn over to staff. >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um if you'll
remember, if the board will remember, we went through um something similar to this exercise last year um for the 2024 land development code rewrite. Um and since that time um staff we've had a chance to take a look at the document.
Um put some of the applications into practice using the new land development code. Um as well as we found some um typographical errors. We found some um map inconsistencies that were not addressed during the last rewrite because um our consultants were focused
on the targeted areas. So this time we decided we would go ahead and look at the entire city. um correct some of those map um deficiencies um inconsistencies with the comprehensive plan as well as there were some changes
to the Florida statutes that required some changes to our code. Um and then we wanted to make sure we clarified some of the language that's in the new land development code. So these are some of the things that we're going to talk about tonight. Um we'll just walk um you
all through the process of what staff went through. um some of the changes that we identified and the proposed language. Um Dr. Ka is here. She's going to um chime in on some of these things and so is Mr. Burns. Um Kadel is here as
well. He's going to chime in on some of these items as well. >> Can we ask questions along the way here? >> Said no. >> I wanted to be a rebel tonight. What can I say? >> One of the other ones he says something about replacing language in the here in
the 2024 version to revert to the 2006 version >> and we'll go over that. That's going to be the permissible uses table. >> Um, >> so we're going to go over over that as well. >> I was joking on the questions. Okay, get it clear. >> I think I'm going to go with the
chairman's advice and not allow questions tonight. Okay. So, um on the administration under um powers and duties,
this is on >> Yes, please. >> This is going to be the land use administrator. >> The page we have the page >> right there. So, um Florida statutes 177 and I'll tell you the page numbers. I don't I didn't have it for this one, but
um Florida statutes 177.091 was changed to allow for plats to be approved administrative and it's a requirement now that it has to be approved administratively. Um in the past plat um required to go before the
governing um body which was the city council for approval. U Florida statutes changed and so now we have to change our land development code to reflect the Florida statutes changed. page. Any questions on that one? Okay. Page 33.
So, this language exemptions, this is in our site development order um section. It's in our development order section. Um this is to allow for non-residential properties to place detached accessory structures um on the property without a
need for uh site development order um approval. So this is an exemption to the site development order um application. So it allows for detachment and this is the language. It allows for detached accessory structures and outdoor seating
areas located outside the public rightway associated with non-residential development pro projects may be exempt from the requirements of this section and is subject to certain criteria. And so you'll see the criteria in A through
um D. So it cannot exceed 500 square feet and gross floor area. Um the outdoor seating is not located in the uh public right away. Um and there can't be any need for um proposed improvements resulting in impacts to on-site
infrastructure or parking or utility capacity. And um the proposed expansion does not require or result in a deviation from any standard of the code. So that's new language.
Page 40. the extra meters going to keep just one meter. Correct. We discussed doing that originally. >> Mr. Lopez, I cannot hear you. I'm sorry. >> Can you speak into the microphone? Yes, please. >> This is where we were discussing just
having one driveway and one mailbox and one uh meter. >> That is you're talking about for accessory dwelling units. >> Is that what we're talking >> This is for accessory. This is for non-residential properties. Okay. >> So, not residential properties. This is for >> apologies. No questions.
>> So, if they want to add a shed to a non-residential property or if they want to add um outdoor seating to non-residential properties, they can do that, but it has to meet that criteria. >> Any questions?
Okay. Page 43. So this language is for um development permits um site construction permits and in this language all we did was this was existing language that we moved we relocated to this section. Um, we we
thought this was a more appropriate section to place this language. Um, and we also, if you go, >> if you go down to page 44, >> keep going down, you'll see five through
seven. Go down five. >> Right. So, this language, it also allows for um and I'm going to have Harris talk to this, but it also allows for a more than one type of guarantee as well. So, I'm going to let Harris talk about this one.
>> Yeah. So, we decided to go ahead and revamp this portion of the code. the maint the dedicated improvements, how we close out these dedicated improvements. A lot of that language was placed in the final plat section
and uh there are projects that are site development orders that don't go through the platting process that also have dedicated improvements. And so all those projects go through the site development pro site development order process. And we felt that it would be better if that
language was placed over there. And there was some overlap as well. And and so we long story short in the PLA section uh the dedicated improvement language was deleted and relocated in the site development order section or the site permit section, excuse me. And
there were reference points made in the plat section to note that also we renamed some of the uh the titles for the sections and subsections just to you kind of as a relooking at the the
language that was there existing for instance the inspection responsibilities and powers as opposed to inspections of required imperence. So just minor tweak most of it's the same language with some minor tweaks to like I said before and just relocated an area that's more
consistent with the way that we uh act in the process. Also, back to Deborah's point about maintenance. It only referenced maintenance bonds before, but instead we allow for we say maintenance guarantee, which consistent with the way
that we uh discuss we performance guarantees as well, which gives the developer more than one instrument to be able to provide that guarantee to the city. And so, typically people provide a bond, but they can provide a letter of credit or they can provide escrow.
>> Any questions on that? Page 51 3.6 B3 final plat 3.6B 3 B. Yeah. and then B review process.
Yeah. So that that language was placed in there based on the statutes 177 that changed that requires now final plats to be administratively approved. So we um the land use administrator or the designate was placed there. Um the city council was deleted because it doesn't
go before city council any longer. So that changed page 58 and this is going to be um article 3 section 3.6C non-stutory subdivisions
right there. So we placed um the additional language which says each structure on the lot must conform to the requirements of the applicable zoning district unless it is existing legally non-conforming structure. So this allows for um the staff or the city to approve
a non-stutory which is a lot split um application if there is an existing non-conforming building on the property or structure on the property. In the past, what we've done is we've um required that um any non-legally non-conforming um building is rectified
through a deviation process. So, this makes it clear that if it's legally non-conforming, we can still approve um a a lot split basically. And the same thing with on page 58,
3.6. 6 C D lot aggregation. It's the same um type of language that um as long as it's legally non-conforming, we will we can um approve a lot aggregation slashreonfiguration.
Now on page 61 through 62, we're going to look at article 4, which is the table 4.1.1. And this um language language was added to show consistency. So there are zoning districts that are consistent with certain future land use designations. So
we wanted PLI had a footnote the table on the bottom the bottom of this table had a footnote that said PLI can go in any future land use designation. So we took the PLI and just put it in the different future land use designations.
And we also wanted to account for um PUD which is planned unit development. Our comprehensive plan allows for PUDS and certain um future land use designations. So we wanted to make sure we captured PUDS as well. PLI again
>> public lands and institution. So those are the changes to that. We wanted to make sure that those zoning districts were consistent with the future land use designation. page 64 4.2 minimum lot use regulations.
So the R1C, if you go down to R1C, we added um a street side setback for the R1C zoning district. And we also clarified on the bottom of that in the note um that town homes and
multif family developments will meet the height and setback requirements um outlined in 4.5 which is specific uses. Um there's certain um uses that have certain um
design standards and um height standards. So we wanted to make sure that we referred back to that because that table could conflict with the specific use standards in 4.5. So we wanted to make sure we clarified that. >> So the R1C that's the only one that was
changed. >> The R1C was the only one that was changed. >> And that was the side setback. The three >> that was the side the street side. Mhm. >> So I don't know if you remember that one was the zoning that we created for those um small lots in in Milton Square Avenue
B that we would come constantly to >> the LPA to require required to request deviations right >> to be granted but we forgot. So we reduced I think it was eight feet before because it was R1 R2 right? Yeah it was
minimum seven feet the side setback most probably and then >> we reduced to three feet because the lots over there are 27 feet um wide >> but we forgot that when they are on a street in in the corner a corner lot we
they would consider two front setbacks. So again, it would it would be 20 ft >> and they would not be able to >> to comply. So we had to adjust that one. >> Any additional questions on that?
Okay. Page 67, table 4.4.1, permissible uses table. So we added some um additional uses here. Um we also so um use code 3.11
community residential home which is the commercial one. We added that as a permissible use in the downtown zoning district and it was originally allowed in the downtown zoning district in the 2006. So we brought that back to the um
to this code. We also clarified the square footage of use codes 3.13 3 through 3.16 which is the retail. We just made a clarification on the square footage of it.
Um we also u put a footnote on those which is 10 which says vertical mixeduse developments. um it does not apply to that those square footage limitations doesn't apply to vertical mixed use
and if it is a vertical mixuse development it will comply with use code 3.13 which is more permissive to encourage the vertical mix use we also added a use code 5.7 which is light industry manufacturing as a special
exception used to RP P and OC zoning districts. And that's consistent with the comprehensive plan. We went back to look to make sure we weren't missing anything that's um a secondary use um in the comprehensive
plan and um light industry is a secondary use in office. So we allowed it as a special exception to RP and OC zoning districts. We also added use code 11.5
government to um you see it 11.5 oh now it's 11.6 okay thank you 11.6 fix to um RP as a permissible use, OC, C1,
C2, PLI, which is public lands and institution, downtown neighborhood, central avenue, downtown core, gateway, marketplace, and Mitchell Hammock corridor zoning district. we allowed it
as permissible use and it's basically government our buildings um that we are allowing in those um zoning districts. page 75. >> Deborah, um remember we also added the solar facilities. Yeah.
>> Floating solar facilities and resiliency facility and that was to comply with the statues. >> And you all saw that at the last meeting where we brought those uses which was the solar facilities, floating facilities and resiliency facilities based on the statutes. We had to allow
it in the comp plan. Um so now we're reflecting it in the land development code. Thank you, Dr. Korea. Okay, page 75. Did you have something, Sam, for you?
>> Yes, that's langu language we added as well. Um, that is when you have a self storage, that language says that it the bottom floor has to be commercial. But when you go to 4.13,
it has more specific standards. So, um, we wanted to just make sure that those two match. So, we added additional language so that it it did match. So, there's no conflicting language. Page 75,
um, article 4, section 4.5, specific residential uses. We've um that language came from our multif family development section. Um we also had that language in the old code. We brought that back um
into this section and now it applies to all residential developments with 50 or more units. And then any non-residential development greater than 30,000 square feet that you have to provide a minimum of two access points. um one can be
vehicular and the other can um be a micro mobility access. So that is also new that you can have micromobility access. So that's the language for that. Any questions on that?
Page 83, planned unit development. This is section 4.11 D conceptual. So we are now allowing with the planned unit development. It requires a development agreement and a
conceptual development plan. Um so we are are allowing a master land use plan as well. Um in place of a conceptual development plan. They basically function as the same um type of plan. So, we wanted to be able to allow either
or um for the PUDS. Page 95. What page was that? >> That's page 83. >> 80. >> Where was 80? >> 80. We're now 95. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. That was 80. Okay. >> No. 84. >> Oh, I see it there. Okay. >> 95 >> 95. >> So this is um section 4.14 density and intensity bonuses for public benefit.
And we basically created a um explanation on how density bonus is calculated uh for clarification purposes. Um so it's just whenever we talk to developers um we want to be able to provide them okay this is how you
calculate so we provided this language for easy um calculation page 102 and this is table um article 5 table 5.11 We took the exist that table that we had
before and we added to it. So you're going to see the there's one that's stricken and it's stricken because we just recreated the table. So we added to it um we added to it the um side and street
side setbacks. Before it had the rear setback. So we wanted more than just the rear and the table. We wanted the side and street side setbacks. So we did that. And this is for detach accessory structure.
Okay. Page 104 article 5 section 5.1. And in this this one is C2. So this one we added clarification on where setbacks are measured from and added reduced setbacks for um properties within R1C
and you'll see the language that talk about where setbacks are measured from and then we reduce the setback for R1C for it's three feet for the interior sidelines and five um feet from the street side set back um for rear
property lines for swimming pools. patios and screen enclosure structures within the R1C. Page 104 again um 5.1D fences and walls. This one we clarified that um no setbacks are required for through lots
with a rear subdivision wall on the property line under certain circumstances. Um and we also allowed um chainlink fences um on industriallyzoned properties. Um
we brought that back from the 2006 code as well. Um we brought back the um maintenance of the wall. We had maintenance of the wall and the um standards for fences and walls, but it was deleted from the new code. So we put
that back in there as well. And that's under design. If you go further down, you'll see the design for the fence. Keep going. Seven is seven. >> And that's the design and maintenance for fences and walls.
>> Okay. Page. Any questions so far? Okay. on page 168 and this is table 11.1.1 and this is right ofway width rightway design width. You'll see that we added
um for furnishing zones, for arterial and for sidewalks, we added um 5t for furnishing zones and and for sidewalks six feet. Um this was added because we realized that
not all arterials are um FDOT or under FDOT ownership or is we have some roadways that are um arterials but are county we also have a city arterial. So we wanted to make sure that they followed a standard and it's not
necessarily always F dots. So we wanted our own standard as well. So we added in the 5t as well as six feet um there for um furnishing zones and sidewalk on page 194
article 13 this is parking e circulation areas is 13.4. So we reduced the um walkway between aisle from um five feet to four feet there.
Did you want to add to that? Did anyone want to add to that one? This is parking the um circulation areas. >> Okay. >> Okay. Did y'all have any questions on that one? Okay. So page 216
this is signs 14.8.2 and this is the notes under the notes um for puds. So puds they normally have a development agreement puds require a master sign plan as well. There are
cases where there are not um a master sign plan. So in the event there's no um if it's not addressed in the development agreement then we are saying that the non-residential sign shall follow the C1 zoning district sign standards.
Page 217 um this is table 14.8.3 freestanding signs. We the table we deleted um
up to 35,000 square feet. Um this one is the minimum setback requirement. We deleted the language where it talks about equidistance from the side lot line. We deleted all of that. Um it's we
left it at a setback of 10 feet or um 15 feet, but then we added a a um subscript or superscript. If you go down to where it says for lots 30 feet or less in width, the sign may be placed equidistance because then it's going to
be required to you're going to have um 15 on either side. So um we left it at that. the side setback if it's bigger than if the lot width is greater than 30 feet. We don't care if
it's 15 feet or more. Um as long as you have a minimum of 15 ft. >> So why have why on the lots that are less than 30 I would say it may be equidistant. That also means it might not. Why bother? Am I what am I missing there?
>> If you remember the work session we had joint session. >> Yeah, >> this is where we had >> I remember all the discussion about the signs. >> Yeah, this is where this coming from mostly was because the example that was used back then was a strand.
>> I remember this coming from >> So they're going to have to be um a minimum of 15 feet. >> Does that say that? >> No. If it's less than 30, they're saying it's saying that you can you can get
half of the width, right, of the >> Yes, it's half. So, should it be shall >> Yeah, >> it should be shall because you need a minimum is what may it may be, but it may not. >> Yeah. So, we should put shall there. >> Yeah. All right.
>> Good catch. >> Okay. So, page 242, table 15.2.1, tree replacement. And we're getting close to being finished. >> So, this one is the replacement slashpreservation schedule. So before it
was just the tree replacement schedules and not the preservation of the trees. So we wanted to make sure we capture the preservation of the trees as well into this table so that people know what credit would be for um the preservation
of the trees. >> So we wanted to just clarify that. So that's what we're doing with this table. page 282 and this is table 17.1.1 minimum open space requirements
>> and it's at the bottom is that except so we have um in one section of our our code where um if you're in the downtown core downtown trans transition you're you you're exempt from providing open space as well as many parks
This section says except that many parks are required for residential development projects in downtown core and downtown transition. So it's a clear conflict. So we um are removing um this language from um open space.
Page 283 um section 17.2 two recreation areas required. So, this language is clarifying that many parks are only required for mixeduse developments that include residential uses.
Then we on page 306 which is the basic definitions and interpretation. We added some definitions. We added um resiliency facility which we went over the last meeting based on the statute. So it's the statute definition of
resiliency facility. Um it's in there. I don't know if you need Okay, so it's there. We also added a definition for solar facility, which was the same thing we looked at last week.
Solar facility and solar facility floating, which is a floating solar facility. And then we added um water vessel which is watercraft definition. And we're also proposing some zoning map amendments
to this um glitch ordinance. It's going to be a second. Sam, are you able to pull that up? >> At the very end. So while um Sam is looking for the maps. So this was needed because we wanted to
um so over the years um we have we identified I think 294 properties now in the city that did not have the zoning matching the comprehensive plan. And this happens for many many reasons, but it's we we would
have to go back right and trace um you know the specific cases. But we decided now to do this massive resoning to address all those properties that have you know inconsistencies between you know the zoning and the comprehensive plan.
>> So he's bringing up some of the zoning sales. Sam, do you want to talk about these areas? >> I can hear you. >> American Legion Secretary 1, two, three, four, five.
The one for Oita High School is so it's pointing it says sites pointing at like you said where the American Legion and those are >> the American Legion is the bottom one >> the bottom one. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So what's changing there? >> We are changing the zoning from RP Yeah.
>> to PLI to match >> publication high schools. >> Yeah. To match the >> to match the future laneation of public as well. Okay. >> Someone said they were going to red uh put an extension or redo the the
building. >> Sorry, again, I cannot hear. I'm sorry. >> Someone told me that they're going to remodel that building. >> They they have an application for um um building permit. Um they will have to go through a site development order. Um and they were waiting for the resoning um to
be able to apply. They could have applied before, but they didn't. So, >> okay. What is the zoning there now? RP RP residential professional >> without the reasoning. Would they have to would they have to apply without the reasoning? You said they were waiting for the res.
>> They could have applied and for sight development >> for a site development order, but we would have then to review the site development order and then uh wait for the resoning to happen to be able to um approve. >> This was discussed yesterday at city
council. front end >> and there was some kind of misunderstanding that they did not understand or that they could have applied but this was during the pre-application meeting that happened in April. This was explained to them that they could have applied.
>> So this land is considered public land for them. >> That's what PLI public future land use institution. >> It's institutional land. Yes. So public doesn't mean that it's PLI doesn't mean that it's owned by the city. >> Yeah. Right.
>> Yeah. It could be an institutional. Yes. Exactly. >> Okay. Gotcha. >> Industrial, right? Yeah, that's it. That's the existing. >> And why are we changing that one? So we're we're changing to match existing structures that have been there for years. What you were saying, right?
>> Yeah. So this is this is the city public works department. >> Um they are they are institutional use. Um so we are matching now the zoning which was industrial to match the gas PL station is that's where the filling
station is too right >> the fuel station yes So here we have lots of over. And so So, we're changing it from R1C to
>> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, because I know the structures there, like I can see the lots here, the plat, but that's not the way it actually is. When you look at the there's that's where there's a church on the structure, is there? >> There's a church on the corner. There's a church on the corner. >> There's a church. And there's some houses.
>> There are houses in one. You're right. Okay. >> There's a beauty. It's a house that's they're using as a beauty salon, which >> That's right. I forgot. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Forgot about those. Okay. This is where
the city >> exist. Yeah. So very similar. Anyway, that's what you're seeing. Yeah, I remember this conversation because at the top of the page there where Allenell Drive is. So they're the
same size as the lots above it, right? >> But I remember Okay. The next one. >> Yeah. So, what's the width of those lots? Do you know? Those were small. >> Yeah. Yes, those definitely
>> that was the last map. Yeah. >> Okay. So, um, where we are in the process is the LPA is tonight. Of course, city council work session is December 2nd on this and then LPA December 1st, right?
>> Sorry, first. Yes, it's the first. I keep wanting to say the second. LPA is on December 16th. That's the public hearing for this item. And then city council first reading and public hearing will be on January 5th. And then um city
council second reading and public hearing because it requires three public hearings um is on January 20th. Should be January 20th. >> The only meeting we have now is the 16th of December. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> So December 6 uh 16th. That's the first
public hearing >> for us >> for us for this. So will we run through the same stuff we just did here tonight? >> Absolutely. Probably will be abbreviated though. >> But I won't ask any questions. >> What' you say? I won't ask any questions. >> You promise >> I'm done.
>> I did all my questions. >> That it >> that's it. This concludes staff's presentation and we are available for questions if you have any. >> Anybody got questions? >> You were here for most of this one. >> Yeah. No, >> probably you're looking at going this is mindboggling. We spent how many weeks on
this originally? >> A lot. Almost a year. >> No, it was a year >> and some long meet some long meetings. So you got you got the short think you have no idea. All right, since we're done, I guess we are ajourned
then. Thank you.
