Wis. Um, we've done this three or four times with them. What is pushing this down the road? Is it us, the city, or is it the the the property owners? >> No. In this particular case, uh the applicant uh got the draft UD agreement
into the planning department just prior to our planning director leaving for a vacation uh to Paraguay. And so there wasn't sufficient time to review it. As you can imagine, this is a very critical
redevelopment project and it warranted the full attention of the planning director and given the delay in getting the the PUD agreement over to the planning department, uh we felt it was in the best interest of the city to postpone until the next meeting. Okay.
>> All right. And then so we need to do that with section B and C of this, right? Correct. Move. Move it along. >> No. >> Oh, that's a different case. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> Yes, Mr. Dolan.

any other questions anybody in the Algra would you like to speak? Why I just I'm making sure before I before I just I know that you just blow my mind when you don't step right up to the microphone.
Allegra Kitchen's Palaca, Florida. I certainly wouldn't wouldn't want to blow what little mind you have left. >> Uhuh. >> And now, >> no, I fully support it. I think it's wonderful. They're going down from 248 town houses to 98 single family homes. I think it's wonderful. Less density. It's

>> Oh, y'all's microphones on. Uh >> oh. >> Noah. Oh, I just want to clarify. This is to add the use. We don't have a defined builder yet. So, the idea is to be able to attract an additional or a different type of builder that would
want to come in and potentially do single family. So, we're adding that use into the language of the development commitment. I just wanted to make that clear. >> There's just another option. >> Just another option. Exactly. >> Get your name and address, please. >> Sorry. Shelene Estes, 14785 Old St. Augustine Road.
>> Thank you. >> No problem. >> Thank you for clarifying that. That's important. Thank you. >> Anybody else got any discussion, question? None. Can I have a motion? >> Oh, did we? Okay,

All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> I. All those opposed? Seeing none, motion passes. That's all we got to do on that one. Right. >> Right. >> And that with that being said,
that's all with all the business we have tonight. Um the staff have any comments? Any Okay, board members, we do have a comment and a question. Mr. Dan,
>> it was related to why for the development for fourstar or for McClori um that there's an ability to regulate parking or at least recommend but yet for the hotel we don't have that ability. Hope you understand that.
>> Right. And I am going to defer to the planning director to respond to questions like that. But it is my understanding that because it's in the downtown business district, we do not impose the same parking requirements that we do for PUDS um basically in
undeveloped land. We have a little bit more control over that. But the underlying intent of not having those parking requirements in the downtown business district was basically actually to encourage growth and infill redevelopment. And if you start imposing
parking requirements and basically a filled out space that has already been built, it really um imposes some restrictions on the developer. That's not to say that they shouldn't try to overcome them, but it's not a requirement the way that the code is
currently written, but I I will defer to the planning director to explain a little bit more. But it was basically an incentive measure, >> and that's the way I understand it from being on the board. I don't I can't I don't know how many years I've been on the board now, but that's been the way that I understand it
when we do things downtown that it like she said, it's an incentive because there's no way to I mean the one that we're looking at, there's no way to really require parking on that. I mean, where would you put them? And this is my personal opinion. I mean, this not legal
or in the city ordinance, I'm sure, but I mean, where where would you tell them or advise them to park for a hotel? Oh, I'd be real curious to see what the owner say to that. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, he he I'm sure he hadn't thought of that because he hadn't had to, you know. So,
>> I I think it's a it's an excellent question and as the city grows and redevelops in a downtown district, these are things that we are going to have to tackle. You can incentivize all you want, but when people start getting turned off because they can't find a place to park, that's a disincentive.
So, it's a it's a tough balancing act that a lot of revitalizing communities have to struggle with. >> Okay. Anybody got any any other questions or any discussion of anything? >> M. >> Yes, Miss West. >> I was able to look up four of the
parcels that are part of that PUD. They were acquired July 2019, April 2022, June of 24, April 2022. I didn't have time to look up the last report. I don't want to meet.
>> Yeah, we got to talk about something. We're only 20 minutes into this thing >> now. Been 16. >> Well, I know, but still. So, anyhow, so seeing no further business, can I have a motion to this?
>> Motion to adjurnn. >> Motion to adjurnn. Second. Y'all have a good night. Thank you.
