6
00:04:45.440 --> 00:05:07.840
This is for the cut factory and this is a conditional use uh number CNU26-00001. >> Good afternoon, good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the commission. Um, thank you for taking your time uh out of

7
00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:24.720
your schedule to be here today. Uh, once again, my name is Sean Raja and I'm a senior planner with uh the community development department. Uh, and tonight I'm here to present DRC case number CU26-00001, the cut factory, which is accompanied by

8
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:42.400
resolution number 2026-079R for conditional use. The site, as seen uh in the aerial, is part of a larger shopping plaza, more specifically unit six of the public's uh shopping plaza located at the intersection of Old Canoe

9
00:05:42.400 --> 00:06:00.880
Creek and 13th Street. The current future land use of for the site is commercial uh with a zoning designation of Highway Business, HB. The applicant currently operates a barber shop at this location as their primary use known as the cut factory. They are

10
00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:16.080
seeking to enhance the existing primary use by providing on-site consumption of beer and wine as an accessory to their existing services. Per City of St. Cloud Land Development Code, chapter uh 3, article 6, section 3.6.7,

11
00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:32.639
an alcoholic beverage establishment in the HB zoning designation requires conditional use approval. Additionally, no structural changes to the site are being proposed. On screen is a graphical de depiction of the current future land use which is

12
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:47.280
commercial and here we have the graphical depiction of the current zoning designation of highway business HB. Staff has reviewed the request for conditional use and recommended approval

13
00:06:47.280 --> 00:07:03.199
of resolution number 2026-079R with the following stated conditions. Condition one, the approval of the requested conditional use does not constitute the approval of the provided concept plan. Changes to the site will require approval of a site development

14
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:20.000
plan and any additional plan approvals required by the land development code. And condition two, the approval, this approval is for the cut factory located at 441513, unit 6 only. Upon this business leaving the subject property, the conditional

15
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:38.800
use shall expire. for the proposed conditional use CNU26-0000001. Staff requests that the planning commission recommends approval with the conditions as stated by staff of resolution 026-079R. Thank you for your time and

16
00:07:38.800 --> 00:08:03.000
consideration. >> Thank you. [clears throat] >> Is the applicant here? Would you like to come forward? You don't have to, but you can if you'd like. [laughter] >> Okay. All right.

17
00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:20.240
Do we have any questions for city staff or the applicant? >> I do. I have a question just to kind of solidify it being contained to said unit because I know people will step outside, they'll

18
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:35.760
smoke, do whatever that they can't typically do inside. Um, can we add or is it proper to add language in the second condition of approval to state inside unit 006 only? >> I believe uh Mr. Morgansson if they

19
00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:52.480
speak it into the record we can add that to the recommendation to the council. >> Commission can add conditions as appropriate as commission whether it was stated or others that the commission feels are appropriate. I think that would be helpful for

20
00:08:52.480 --> 00:09:09.680
enforcability and lack of there's no confusion anywhere. Everybody knows that the alcohol needs to stay inside the unit. [snorts] >> Good evening, Tisha Manning, deputy community development director. Um the alcohol license issued by the state um

21
00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:27.160
mandates that and it will be inside the unit. >> Uh yeah, I just wanted to make it crystal clear just because the state isn't always around and people are outside and they're not always going to catch it. So maybe it would be helpful for the city to be able to enforce that as well. >> Correct.

22
00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:43.760
>> I have a question about the the first condition. Uh we don't expect any changes to the site or anything like that, right? I mean >> that is correct. There's no >> that's just a strict language to say, you know, if if you do plan on making any changes, they have to be approved separately.

23
00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:58.240
>> That is correct. >> Okay. So, it's a place to have your haircut. When people walk in, they can also purchase beverages is really they're not giving them away like at a lot of places you'll walk in say, "Oh, would you like a glass of wine or something?" This is actual selling of

24
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:19.120
it. And that's why this is a a deal. >> I believe that would be a question for the applicant. >> Can you come to the microphone so it's on the record? I just got out of work by the way. >> That's okay. Sir, you just state your name and your sir. Just state your name

25
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:34.959
and your address and all that for the for the record. >> Uh my name is Freddy Leesma. I'm the owner of well half owner of the cut factory. Um and yes, uh basically the client will have the it's a way to enhance their their experience. Come in, get a haircut, maybe have a a drink or

26
00:10:34.959 --> 00:10:50.880
two after a long day at work. um as it pertains to um you know alcohol outside of the of the barber shop. Uh no, it's basically you come in, you get a cut, you have one beer, maybe two, and you go home. It's not it's not a hangout spot.

27
00:10:50.880 --> 00:11:08.480
It's not a bar. It's more or less like, you know, maybe when you go to a restaurant, you have a drink, you eat, and you go home. That's basically it. >> Interesting concept. >> That's all I had questions. Yeah. is like uh the open container you serve or

28
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:24.640
customer can take uh uh on buy and then they open and drink. >> No, no, that is strictly uh for consumption in the barber shop. No, no buying to take home. Um they can go to PL to the Publix next door and buy a six-pack if they like and take it home.

29
00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:40.640
Our the way we want to do it is you buy you consume at the location you go home. So how the like food safety wise because uh you barber cutting still there right? Bar like uh hair cutting also there.

30
00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:56.640
>> I'm sorry I don't I don't understand >> like you cutting hair cutting also that same locations. >> Yeah. Yeah. We're >> I think what he's what he's asking is uh in there's a lot of restrictions for hair cutting establishments in in terms of sanitary you know and things like

31
00:11:56.640 --> 00:12:13.200
that. So consuming beverages or food seems to conflict with that. So I think what he's asking is are you are you able to get that approved by the state as well to to serve alcohol at a place that you're cutting hair? >> Um well I was of [clears throat] the

32
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:29.519
assumption that um we first had to get the approval of the condition used to then have the inspector come in and oversee that I guess. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, I mean, but uh we're not going to serve anything in a glass, per se. It's basically, you know, you pop over

33
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:51.200
the bottom, you give it to them. Um I don't feel that, you know, the hair is going to be an issue. >> Yeah, the scope for tonight is >> Yeah. I mean, it's not in our scope. I think he was just asking a general question. >> Anything else?

34
00:12:51.200 --> 00:13:08.639
>> Thank you so much. >> Appreciate it. Thank you. I've got a question for the city. [clears throat] >> Yes, sir. >> So, so this be a conditional use permit to sell alcoholic alcoholic beverages. Now, what happens when they decide to

35
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:23.680
cut stop cutting hair and just sell alcoholic beverages? The sale of the alcohol beverages on-site consumption would be an accessory use to the barber shop. And as

36
00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:39.040
stated under condition number two, the approval for the cut factory upon this business [clears throat] leaving or the conditional use expiring, whatever the business use is, it will this conditional use will expire. They'd have to come back. >> So they they couldn't just quit cutting

37
00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:55.760
hair and continue selling beer under the same name. Correct. Because we stated that it would be for on-site consumption only. So, if they're selling beer, if they're selling and drinking within the location, but we're not permitting a bar at this location based on this conditional use.

38
00:13:55.760 --> 00:14:11.440
But if the count commission or would like to add that condition within, you can speak on the record and we can add it for. >> Is there a way to bring up that the conditions? Uh, as stated, the way I read the second condition was if the

39
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:27.279
if we could on this business leaving the subject property >> or I guess you're suggesting or discontinuing use the business >> property as a barberh shop. It's essentially what you're saying. >> Yes. >> Okay. So that's just language additional language >> that hearing. >> But [clears throat] isn't that what

40
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:42.480
accessory use means? It's only an accessory to what the primary function is is cutting hair. The accessory is the selling of a beer or something in that hair cutting goes away. that accessory use goes away.

41
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:58.720
>> Correct. But if you as the commission would like to add that to the record. >> No, because if that's the rule, why would we keep adding things to if that's the rule, that's the rule. I don't know why we have to add more verbiage in there. >> I don't think I don't >> The way I read it, it says it's a conditional use for alcoholic beverages.

42
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:16.320
Nothing about it. And I'm just I'm sure he's not going to stop cutting hair and just start selling beer. But I guess my point was for the commission the condition number two upon this business leaving the subject property. So there's an argument that if they discontinue the barber activities the business has

43
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:33.120
departed but I I don't think it's you know ill advised if you want to clarify that condition to state upon this business of cutting hair ceases to operate the subject conditional use expires as well. I don't think that's a problem. It's It's really a

44
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:50.079
clarification, if you will. >> It's whatever the commission wants to to do on that. >> That's all I got. >> Okay. >> I have a question. [snorts] >> How does this affect children in the barberh [clears throat] shop? This is a

45
00:15:50.079 --> 00:16:07.600
very unique um situation here. Do you do you serve children? >> Children? >> Yeah. >> You got on the mic. >> Sure. You have to come to the microphone. >> State your name again, please. >> Uh Freddy Vadesma.

46
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:24.639
Um to answer a question, yeah, we do um offer services to children. Uh obviously, we will not be selling alcohol. That goes without saying to children, to minors, um if the parents uh want to consume maybe beer, which they probably won't to be honest. Um

47
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:42.800
well, that's up to them. But um obviously the barbers um I do not permit any any smoking or alcohol consumption by my my fellow barbers. Um so basically it's uh it's an adult beverage. If an

48
00:16:42.800 --> 00:17:01.440
adult wants to have a beverage, I mean they could purchase it, but I don't think that should affect us in any way. And actually, there's a lot of a lot of places that offer you a drink that are not. This is a conditional use because you're going to sell it. But there are

49
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:18.319
every place that I go to, they'll offer you something to drink if you want a glass of wine or you go something. Well, I'm just talking about places that cut your hair. If you go in there for a salon, often times they offer it. But >> this is something to be sold. So, that's where I think this is coming in. So,

50
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:36.960
right. >> Yeah. Uh, I see it's no different as a restaurant. Like I said, you go to a restaurant, you have a meal, you're with your kids. Um, you will need a glass of wine cuz you've had a long day. I mean, I don't see it any different as that. >> I assume you've researched this and

51
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:52.320
there's other establishments that do the same, >> right? We uh we have a fellow barber shop on my partner, he has one at the other um public's plaza where the DMV is at. Um, the cut factory by I'm sorry, the

52
00:17:52.320 --> 00:18:12.240
blueprint by cut factory, they have that model there as well. It's been approved and they haven't had any issues and that's been approved for I don't know like four years, five years. >> Okay. >> Yeah. And they've been totally fine. We have any other questions

53
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:28.400
before we move into public comment? All right. At this time, we will [clears throat] allow for public comment. Is there anyone in the audience this evening that would like to speak about this ordinance or resolution? [clears throat] Okay. Doesn't look like

54
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:53.880
there's anybody that wants to provide public comments. So, we will close the public comment session. Any any further discussion? All right. At this time, I would like to call for a motion. Any more?

55
00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:13.120
>> I'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of resolution number 202679R [snorts] based on the six fashion [cough and clears throat] land development code and incorporating the conditions of the resolution number one and number two.

56
00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:30.080
All right, we have a motion to recommend approval uh including the two >> conditions that the city has suggested. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> All right, we have a first and a second. All in favor of recommending approval

57
00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:45.840
say I. >> I. >> I. >> I. >> Any opposed? >> I oppose. >> Oh. Oh, you're opposed. Okay. Say, if you don't mind, just say nay. >> Nay >> or no. Either one's found me. >> Marshall, you were an I. >> Yeah, sorry.

58
00:19:45.840 --> 00:20:01.840
>> Yeah, I wasn't close enough. Was that with the condition that [cough] we [clears throat] both >> discussed? With the >> All right, let's let's back up. [laughter] >> Uh, if you want to add your condition, technically we would need to make another motion. >> Yeah. What what what was passed was the

59
00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:16.559
adoption of the conditions as stated by >> As stated by staff. >> Yeah, that passed four to one. >> Uh, affirming that Ms. Marshall's vote was an I which >> it was. Did you want to >> clarify that our conditions were added to that motion?

60
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:32.960
>> Yes. >> Well, I mean amendment. >> Technically, we did vote. So, >> we voted and passed it. It was 4 to one. Uh Mr. Patel, you are not voting at this time because we have a >> Yeah, we have a full We have a full

61
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:48.559
commission. Just so you know, >> yeah, you're completely >> you do get to vote if one of the members is >> completely permitted to participate fully. You're just not going to be able to vote >> uh with this uh with this uh full commission here tonight. >> But for the record, the motion passed 41

62
00:20:48.559 --> 00:21:04.320
uh with Mrs. Bridgeforth uh being the only name. >> That's correct. [snorts] That's correct. >> Okay. All right. So, the next one is ordinance number 2026-27. This is a land development code

63
00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:23.360
amendment [clears throat] and this is CDA26- 0000004. This is a request for an amendment uh to ordinance or I'm sorry amendment to chapter 3

64
00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:39.120
performance and sighting standards article 14 use regulations. Good evening, Tisha Manny, um, deputy community development director. Um, yes. So, the ordinance before you is CDA, I'm sorry, is 2026-27

65
00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:57.280
and it is for project number CDA26-00004. Um, so on about April 16th, um, this has become before city council at a couple workshops you guys may be aware of. I'm just trying to work out some of the things in our land development code when

66
00:21:57.280 --> 00:22:14.640
it comes to how restaurants are treated throughout the entire city. So on April 16th, the city council directed staff to prepare an ordinance amending section 3.14.5. [snorts] Um and the amendment is to support the

67
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:34.640
economic activities throughout the city as well as focus on the downtown area which is specifically the entertainment district. So in the so in section 3.14.5E specifically is the section that we're speaking of. It's going to remove

68
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:50.000
restrictions on restaurants having entertainment activities and this is restaurants throughout the city. So right now as our code stands um if you have pool tables, high top chairs, um live entertainment, you play music, all

69
00:22:50.000 --> 00:23:05.440
of those things, our code states that you can't be classified as a restaurant. Um so in the day and time that we're in now where people, you know, they want to have an experience when they go to restaurants. Um, so we just think those things, um, of course we can take those

70
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:21.440
things out, give our free industry the ability to be free and offer some other type of services. So specifically here, we're going to we're suggesting or proposing to remove pool tables, video games, a stage, live entertainment,

71
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:37.200
illuminated or non-elilluminated signs advertising alcoholic beverages, um permits dancing or which has music um that plays at a level above 70 dB. So we also updated our noise ordinance. So,

72
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:54.400
those areas are being struck through because again, we want to allow restaurants to offer entertainment. And as far as the Norris ordinance, um the decibb because it's covered under our Norris ordinance. Um we're also proposing to remove the

73
00:23:54.400 --> 00:24:09.520
section that says the dining area shall contain tables or chairs or booths of standard height. Again, this goes to um restaurants being prohibited of having um cocktail height tables. Um and um the

74
00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:24.720
tables shall meet or exceed the minimally accepted standard of 256 square inches per table space per patron. Um again, just trying to remove some of those restrictions off a restaurant so that you know they can make the free choice if they want to

75
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:44.640
have high top tables, low top tables, um and still be considered a restaurant. We are adding language to this section and this language is specifically for the entertainment district. So the past two slides that will cover restaurants throughout the entire city but this

76
00:24:44.640 --> 00:25:00.320
section is specific for restaurants in the entertainment district only. So that is pretty much our downtown area. Um, and so what we're adding or proposing to add is the provisions of 3.14.5 A through

77
00:25:00.320 --> 00:25:16.320
C and E shall not apply to establishments located within the entertainment district. And so A through C is basically again the pool tables. If they meet all of those things, they're good, but these are the additional

78
00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:33.279
requirements for those restaurants. Um, the establishment is in full compliance with the conditions and requirements of the of the applicable license to sell alcoholic beverages issued by the state of Florida for the establishment. The establishment does not charge a cover

79
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:49.360
charge at any time. The establishment does not contain illuminated or non-elilluminated signs advertising alcoholic beverages visible outside of the establishment. Um, so those are the things that we're

80
00:25:49.360 --> 00:26:06.559
proposing to add to the language because right now they can have signs outside of their restaurants if they're in the entertainment district. We're saying we want you to only be able to show those on the inside, those to be visible on the inside. Um,

81
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:22.480
and I'll go back just to kind of explain it. And also, if you want to have any type of live entertainment or any type of activities at the restaurants within the entertainment district, you cannot charge a cover charge. That's what that that's the language

82
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:39.360
we're proposing to add. We're also proposing to add that they have to be licensed, which most of them are now. We're not saying they're not licensed, but we're saying we're going to restrict their licensing to the state requirements. And so to give you a little bit more clarification, one of

83
00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:55.200
the other um criteria [snorts] to be a restaurant, a fullervice restaurant, is you have to have a full kitchen on site. So we're saying if you are licensed through the state as an establishment to serve

84
00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:11.840
alcohol and the state classifies you as a restaurant, then we're going to classify you as a restaurant. we don't have these additional requirements for you to be a restaurant and that's what this language is proposing. Um so prior to this

85
00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:28.240
meeting we had not had any um public outreach but then subsequently right before the meeting we did receive a letter um from from the public. That letter has been provided to you in front of you. When you read through that letter, and this is just my synopsis of

86
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:43.919
the letter, they were speaking specifically for a fourth condition, which we had originally added that said restaurants in the entertainment district would have to close at 11:59. >> So, you removed that. >> Correct. That >> in between the time that this letter was

87
00:27:43.919 --> 00:28:00.399
issued or they issued this letter based on that language that was removed subsequently. >> Correct. They issued the letter based upon the language that had already been removed. Correct. Yes. So, this is a staff initiated ordinance. So, I am here to answer any questions for you.

88
00:28:00.399 --> 00:28:17.520
>> So, I'm one thing that confuses me is uh I follow along with everything that you said, but in the language it appears that under 3.14.5 full service restaurants is [clears throat] being added. It's underlined. That means it's being added, right?

89
00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:33.360
>> Correct. So, >> but I don't understand why it's being added because if you scroll down to >> D, article D, it says um it shall be exempt from the provisions of 3.14A through C for full

90
00:28:33.360 --> 00:28:49.039
service restaurants. So, why are we adding full service restaurants if later it says that they're exempt? So what what why we added it to that title and I know you're saying to the purpose of the ordinance it be is because we're speaking of it throughout the rest of the language but we didn't identify it

91
00:28:49.039 --> 00:29:05.360
in the top where it identified cocktail lounges and all of those things. So we're just adding that language to say >> so you're just identifying it as an establishment. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Okay. That makes sense. I just Yes. >> I was a little confused about why that was added and then in article D it says

92
00:29:05.360 --> 00:29:21.840
that they're exempt from that. >> Correct. Yeah. We're just identifying it as an establishment. >> Miss Griggsby, did you have >> No, I have a question, but it might be for you, Jack. >> Um,

93
00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:39.200
with as it relates to L number three and um the signs, [clears throat] the Supreme Court said that local government can't regulate the content of a sign. Is there is that how does that flow with it being specific to signs

94
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:54.880
advertising alcoholic beverages? >> I I'm not looking at the language in front. Can I >> Yeah, you can borrow mine. >> I just don't know if it needs to be vague just to be in compliance. >> Wow, she brought up the Supreme Court. >> You're looking at provision L on page

95
00:29:54.880 --> 00:30:10.159
304. >> Yeah, I just would want us to be in compliance with them saying that local government can't regulate the content of a sign. And so if we need to rephrase it to fit >> establishment does not contain illuminated or non-illuminated signs

96
00:30:10.159 --> 00:30:24.960
advertising alcoholic beverages visible outside of the establishment. That's the language. >> Yeah, the advertising alcoholic beverages. That would be you'd be regulating the content of the sign. >> We're not regulating the content that speaks to the content. We're regulating

97
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:42.480
the location of the sign, >> but saying that they can't have it >> outside. >> Yeah. >> If there was already a sign outside there, like advertising the establishment or something like at a church, you see, and they can put any kind of words they want on the board.

98
00:30:42.480 --> 00:31:02.080
>> The way I read this is has to do with the location. I don't think it has to do with the >> Yeah, I want to skip. >> Sure. Excuse [snorts] me. >> Thank you.

99
00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:23.840
>> Sorry. You're welcome. >> There's a in article B where it says these establishments shall be located at least 500 ft from another establishment. Um, I mean, wouldn't that preclude any other

100
00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:39.440
establishments selling alcohol from moving in within 500 ft of one that already does? >> Are you specifically talking about in the entertainment district or throughout the city? >> I [clears throat] think throughout the city. >> So, throughout the city, yes, there is

101
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:54.720
spacing requirements in the entertainment district under their particular section in our code. Some of those requirements have been [clears throat] rewritten because we we have specific requirements for the entertainment district. But yes, throughout the city

102
00:31:54.720 --> 00:32:16.480
we do have distance requirements. >> Okay. So that would only apply to any establishments outside of the entertainment district. >> Correct. >> So any any restaurant that served alcohol couldn't be within 500 ft of another restaurant that served alcohol.

103
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:31.120
Well, >> that's correct. >> Unless they're in the entertainment district. >> Don't we already have that everywhere? >> Correct. It's already written in our code. He was just reading what's in the code. And that's why I specifically said, are you speaking of the entertainment district or outside?

104
00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:46.799
>> No, I think what you're suggesting is we we already have restaurants inside. >> We already have restaurants from entrance to entrance >> that both sell alcohol. Is that what you're >> Yes. and like tequila house to uh the um Japanese restaurant that's probably

105
00:32:46.799 --> 00:33:02.880
close. >> Correct. So when we start looking at the code we have to um also look at when were the ab the ordinances established and if those restaurants were already existing >> but >> so go ahead. >> I would I would think in order to have

106
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:19.840
more business we would want to have restaurants closer together that would be able to sell alcohol. >> Correct. But that part of that part of the ordinance was not what was coming up. What was coming up was the serving of alcohol in the entertainment district. And this ordinance is focusing

107
00:33:19.840 --> 00:33:35.600
on being able to allow restaurants to have those type of entertainment things happen. Pool tables, live entertainment. So those other considerations of A through E, I believe it is, are already in effect. We're not making any changes

108
00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:51.360
to that. And the other question I had, so it talks about high top tables and other things. Is Chile a bar? Is Chile's a bar or a restaurant? >> Chili's is a restaurant, >> but they have high top tables and a a literal bar in it.

109
00:33:51.360 --> 00:34:13.119
>> Correct. And that's the reason why we're removing this from our code so that those restaurants would not be in non-compliance for having those things. >> Okay. And the restaurant, a restaurant is anything that has a full

110
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:30.000
service kitchen that is licensed as a restaurant. So the noise levels, that part's being removed, but could that affect noise within residential communities? the noise levels is being

111
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:59.920
removed because it is covered under our noise ordinance in a different section of the code. >> Okay. [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> But this will require if I'm not saying this is new, but a a fullervice restaurant would not be able to display

112
00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:18.880
signs whether they're lit or not uh advertising alcohol >> outside. >> Outside. >> Correct. >> Right. We don't want to be turning into no Pottersville around here. We're keeping it nice and tidy. >> Well, I think some of the things that's

113
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:34.160
in there is already what's out there is the So, does this affect any any existing >> You're correct, Commissioner Alexander. So, the reason why is because right now we have a lot of restaurants that are in non-compliance because they do offer these things. They do offer live

114
00:35:34.160 --> 00:35:52.000
entertainment. They do permit dancing. They play music. So a lot of our restaurants are in non-compliance to this code. So again multiple workshops happened um some of the business owners came out there was a lot of discussion surrounding this. We want to allow you

115
00:35:52.000 --> 00:36:07.920
know the economic diversity in our city. So that is the reason why we are at the point where we need to propose a code change so that we can still allow economic diversity and our restaurants are not in non-compliance and potential

116
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:33.839
code enforcement violations because they they're playing music. Okay. Yeah, there was just a lot of confusion on this one because with the letter and we're looking in the letter like where's where does it say that they can't,

117
00:36:33.839 --> 00:36:53.119
>> you know, operate after 1159? Okay. Well, uh is there anybody here that would like to uh [clears throat] speak public comment wise? We can open public comment. Anybody? Okay. No public comment. We'll

118
00:36:53.119 --> 00:37:12.320
close the public comment session. I mean, I don't really have an issue with it. I think, you know, it's always kind of difficult when you look at changing language, right? You just never know how it's going to affect certain things. But, uh,

119
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:30.640
it seems that you're trying to make it easier for restaurants to do business here in downtown St. cloud and not and have less restrictions. Right. >> Anybody else? Uh >> agree.

120
00:37:30.640 --> 00:37:45.440
>> Agree. Disagree. >> No, it makes complete sense. I mean, we're trying to have an entertainment area. If we don't have any entertainment and there's too many rules, it's, you know, that was in a day and a time. Now it's changing. And if we're not going to

121
00:37:45.440 --> 00:38:03.000
have a noise issue throughout people playing it on their cars and driving through town and everywhere else, why would we have, you know, limitations like that in our city? It's I think it's logical. Make make life easier for everybody.

122
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:20.880
>> All right. Uh, so then can I get a motion, please? >> What is this, though? Is this a I don't find it on my sheet. >> Amendment to the Is it a 16? Is it 16 findings? No, it's just an approval of the ordinance. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Based on the proposed by staff and

123
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:38.480
information presentation. >> All right. I'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of ordinance and number 2026-27 as recommended by staff. >> Second. >> All right. We have a first and a second to recommend approval. All in favor of

124
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:55.640
recommending approval for ordinance 2026-27 say I. >> I. I. Any opposed? >> No. >> All right. So, motion passes 4 to one with member Alexander voting no.

125
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:19.200
Okay. Next one is ordinance number 2026-32. And if I remember correctly, I think this one [clears throat] is actually two. We want to read them in together, right? I assume. >> Oh. Uh, do we want to read the next two

126
00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:36.520
in together for for the Stephanie? >> Yes. >> Lee Rothstein Memorial Park. >> Okay. So, the first one is ordinance number 2026-32. This is for a comprehensive map amendment and that is CPA26-00005.

127
00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:59.040
And then the second one is ordinance number 2026-25 and this is a zoning map amendment number ZMA25-000023. >> Correct. >> Good evening everybody. Thank you for your time. My name is Tatiana Montero. I

128
00:39:59.040 --> 00:40:16.280
am the associate planner with community development and I will be presenting today this um Stephanie Lee Rosie Memorial Park DRCK's CPA 26005 and CMA 26006

129
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:32.640
accompanied with their resolutions 2026-32 2026-25. Um in front of you is the aerial view of the proposed um subject property.

130
00:40:32.640 --> 00:40:49.920
North of it um it's the current um what we know as the Stephanie Lee Rose uh Memorial Park. These are two additional parcels to the south of it. Move over here. So the existing future land use of the parcels are employment and

131
00:40:49.920 --> 00:41:07.920
industrial. The proposed um change is to move them to parks and open space. The existing zoning is a for agricultural and the proposed zoning change is o open space and recreational. The um it's

132
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:24.319
about 27.26 acres. As I stated before, the northern parcel to this object property is current developed as the Stephanie re Lee Roadstein Memorial Park and um a

133
00:41:24.319 --> 00:41:43.280
Stephanie Rostein Memorial Park was reszone agricultural 20 open space recreational through a previous resolution uh 2025-55 back in November 13 of 2025. As I mentioned before, this is the

134
00:41:43.280 --> 00:42:01.200
existing future land use industrial unemployment for the subject properties and this is the existing zoning agricultural and the staff recommendation is um a motion to approve ordinance 2026/29

135
00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:18.240
and 2026-30. Do you guys have any questions? >> It's a city proposed. >> Yes. I would like to thank the city staff for adding back the uh legend at the bottom corner of the map. [laughter] So, thank you for that. >> If I just Mr. Chairman, just backing up

136
00:42:18.240 --> 00:42:33.280
the ordinances [clears throat] in play, I think there may have been some crossover, but the matters that are being addressed here are 26-32 and 26-25. I just I think you're referring to the >> the correct in a previous in a in a

137
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:50.640
previous um time the sub the parcel to the north was already um changed under the resolution 202555. You're correct. You said going back to the maps >> I just want to see the map short.

138
00:42:50.640 --> 00:43:05.920
>> This one or the aerial? >> Uh no this one. I guess this will work. [laughter] I want I'm just trying to get the bearings here. Got you. The the green rectangle on the top is what you guys know as the Stephanie Rose uh park

139
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:22.400
as it is. So, this is the two partials south of it. >> What is the orange rectangle? Is that a mouse? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Is that what that [laughter] is? >> It's the minute counter. I don't count. >> We can remove it. >> It's conveniently covering up >> the the legend.

140
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:37.040
>> The legend. Yeah. >> Yes. South of appreciate the legend. the state street. So, >> I'm seeing Indiana Avenue. I'm just trying to um I don't know the park. I'm thinking it's backed in there that I

141
00:43:37.040 --> 00:43:52.960
don't see that park. It's got to be near Well, Indiana Avenue and >> it is north of Verina Street, east of Missouri Avenue. I don't know if this helps you. >> This is where >> Yeah, because it's tucked in there. You can't get in there. Yeah, there's fields

142
00:43:52.960 --> 00:44:10.880
in it. That's right. Okay. All right. A lot of kids play soccer in that. >> Yeah. You have to take that hard 90° turn. >> Yes. Exactly. Exactly. >> When you're trying to get out of traffic on road, you know. >> So, open space and recreational. What does that mean?

143
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:27.280
>> This is the um appropriate use that we will need in order for this to be the designated park. It's park. >> So, it's just a park. Yes. swings and playground kind of park or just as far as open space for just open space. As far as I know, we don't have any.

144
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:42.560
>> We're actually adding open space into the city. Let's go. >> And this will help add to the inventory of open space that we have on the city. As of right now, I don't believe that there is any um proposed plans for development in this area. So, as of this

145
00:44:42.560 --> 00:45:00.720
moment, it will simply be part of what we already have as a Stephanie Lee Roasting Memorial Park. >> Well, we look forward to future infrastructure to make this a park. [snorts] >> Possibly. >> Do we? >> Possibly. I don't think we do.

146
00:45:00.720 --> 00:45:18.240
>> We don't. >> We have tax referendum. >> This is going to >> We don't want to go down that we don't want to go down that rabbit hole. open space. >> Do we want to hear the next one or

147
00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:35.280
is there any more? >> Well, I mean, one is for the comprehensive map amendment and the other one's just for the zoning map amendment. So, it's we can discuss them together. We just have to make separate motions >> when when that time comes.

148
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:51.119
>> Yeah. I don't know if you guys were done. She still has to read. I provided all of my presentation. I'm just hearing any questions. >> Okay. Sorry. >> Okay. So, yeah, the zoning part is done. >> Do we have any other questions until before I go into public com?

149
00:45:51.119 --> 00:46:05.760
>> No. >> Okay. >> I don't. >> Uh, we'll open up public comment. Anybody in the audience like to make any public comment? Okay. Doesn't look like it. So, we'll close the public comment session. >> Anything else we want to discuss on this

150
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:21.359
one? >> Be sure to take them one at a time. Yep. [snorts] If not, I'd like to call for a motion on ordinance number 2026-32, which is a comprehensive map amendment.

151
00:46:21.359 --> 00:46:37.280
>> I'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of ordinance number 2026-32 based on the 16 findings within the land development code. >> Second. >> All right, we have a first and a second. All in favor of recommending approval, say I. I. I.

152
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:54.240
>> Any opposed? All right, motion passes 5-0. And how about ordinance number 2026-25? Do we have a motion for that? >> Do I would like to make a motion to recommend approval of ordinance number 2026-25

153
00:46:54.240 --> 00:47:09.359
based on the 16 findings within the land development code? >> All right, we have a motion for approval and a second. All in favor of recommending approval for ordinance number 2026-25, say I. >> I. I. Any opposed?

154
00:47:09.359 --> 00:47:26.640
All right. Motion also passes 5-0. All right. Next one is ordinance number 2026-29 and I believe we'll also read 2026-30 together. So the first one uh is public safety facility complex and it's a

155
00:47:26.640 --> 00:47:44.920
comprehensive plan amendment CPA26-00007. And then the second one is ordinance number 2026-30 also for the public safety facility complex. This is a zoning map amendment number ZMA26-0000006.

156
00:47:50.160 --> 00:48:05.280
>> That is correct. And um it's again me Tatiana Monttero from community development presenting uh public safety facility complex. This is um DRC case number CPA 260000007

157
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:24.000
and CMA 260000006 accompanied with the ordinance number 2026-29 and 2026-30. And um in the aerial you guys can see the subject property. Um it's about four

158
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:38.880
different parcels that are being proposed for this public safety facility complex. The existing future land use um is mixed used and the proposed future land use um

159
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:54.559
is institutional. The existing zoning is mixed use and the proposed zoning is uh peep professional about uh 46.11 acres in total. This is the existing

160
00:48:54.559 --> 00:49:17.440
future land use as mixed use and this is the existing zoning of the subject subject property and the staff recommends approval of the ordinance 2026-29 and 2026-30.

161
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:33.839
Do you guys have any questions at this time that I can assist? >> You want to go back? [laughter] >> I need my map. >> It's nice having the legend on there, right? >> Just on my um

162
00:49:33.839 --> 00:49:51.280
>> Yes, Phil. >> On my footnotes, >> it's just um duplicated both of the cases. So on my first case, if if you look at the bottom of it, it's under my CPA case. My next few pages of

163
00:49:51.280 --> 00:50:20.319
two, three, four, five, and six cite the ZMA case >> just for your Okay. information. >> Absolutely. Thank you. >> You're welcome. So, not where where public safety complex is right now. That's

164
00:50:20.319 --> 00:50:37.520
um behind where the the wording is on this map up here. That's where um the traditions or whatever that little that complex. So, this is in further. Isn't there like a water or a pond or some type of canal that goes through there? I

165
00:50:37.520 --> 00:50:54.800
believe the south border of the dashed line aligns with the road the future road that would go through between St. cloud or I'm sorry um what's the name of the elementary school? >> You're thinking the drainage canal that runs along the north >> goes through like estates and then comes

166
00:50:54.800 --> 00:51:08.880
there. There it is. >> The canal is in the top area of the subject property right before I don't know if you can appreciate it on this map is right next to the residential

167
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:27.040
area. So the top rectangle >> in the top area that's where the canal stands. >> Okay. And so is that top >> yellow rectangle cons that's going to be developed. >> It is part of what we are is part of the

168
00:51:27.040 --> 00:51:42.800
subject property. It is my I don't have any um specifics as of the plans for the full development. I know that we're currently um reviewing a site development plan, but it is part of the project.

169
00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:59.040
>> And would they come out on what's the is this Canoe Creek over here? >> Yeah. Would they come out? Would that be the entrance exit? It won't be through Buddinger like out towards Buddinger there, right? Because that's a whole separate

170
00:51:59.040 --> 00:52:16.319
piece of land. I cannot speak on that just yet because um this change only speaks to the future land use and the and the zoning. >> And as of as I said, it is my understanding that um the full project

171
00:52:16.319 --> 00:52:31.680
will encompass um different phases and different buildings possibly um police headquarters and other city departments that are going to be moving in. I know right now we're reviewing side development plan for the 911 um and the

172
00:52:31.680 --> 00:52:49.720
emergency dispatchers kind of said that this is just one of a few other places that are being proposed. So this is not right. >> This is the main as far as I am aware. Yes. All right. >> Yeah. And we're definitely in need of a public safety complex.

173
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:22.800
too far. There you go. >> And hey, it's that much more land that won't be houses. [laughter] >> All right. Uh, at this time we will open for public comment. Is there anybody in the audience would like to speak? >> Yes. >> Yes, ma'am. Please come forward. State

174
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:38.880
your name and address for the record. And if did [clears throat] you fill out a form? >> No. >> Okay. You'll just have to fill out a form. >> You don't have to do it right this second, but >> Okay. >> We still do the forms, right? >> No, >> we do. And the clerk either has somewhere. They're in by the entryway. We'll get them and just turn them in before you leave.

175
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:53.599
>> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Carolyn Matthysse, 2410 Temple Lane, St. Cloud. I live u on that map or crossed east of the land that she's just describing. >> Okay. and I received a letter about it, which is why I'm here. And I was trying

176
00:53:53.599 --> 00:54:10.319
to find out if any of that land is going to be upset because I have a house in there. >> Uh it doesn't appear so. I mean, this is this is primarily uh the area I don't know if we can bring back up the map. >> Can we bring the map back? >> But this is primarily the area on the

177
00:54:10.319 --> 00:54:26.000
west side of Creek Road, >> right? Uh, so there's nothing nothing impacted uh in your neighborhood if it's uh you said Temple Terrace, right? >> The other one because it's a little bit bigger. >> Okay.

178
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:43.119
>> Yeah, I Yeah, I'm seeing it there. Okay. Well, that was just my only question if that was a plan in the future because I didn't know otherwise why I would have received the letter. >> Uh because they have to send it if you're if you're within is it 500 ft? >> 300. >> 300. >> 300. Mhm. So, you're within 300 feet.

179
00:54:43.119 --> 00:55:00.160
They're required to send you uh a notice. Anytime that something's going in front of the planning commission or the city council for a zoning change or anything like that, they have to send you a notice because you're within 300 ft of the subject property. >> Well, I have another question. It's not

180
00:55:00.160 --> 00:55:17.200
directly related to this map, but I know there's going to be changes to the the roads through there. >> And will there be other meetings like this when that starts to happen? Uh, so that probably won't be handled in by this commission. Uh, because that I believe that's a state road. It's either

181
00:55:17.200 --> 00:55:32.240
a state road or a county road. >> I'm not sure. >> Um, there may possibly be workshops for the city of St. Cloud. I'm not sure. But, uh, definitely I don't see it going in front of this commission. >> Okay. All right. Thank you. Appreciate it. >> Thanks for coming in.

182
00:55:32.240 --> 00:55:51.079
>> We appreciate you being involved in your local city >> trying to stay on top of it. All right. Do we have anybody else that would like to speak from the audience? >> Okay. At this time, we will close the public comment session.

183
00:55:51.760 --> 00:56:13.920
>> Any other discussion? >> Question. >> Not at this time. >> Suggested edits to the staff report. >> That was a good catch though. I didn't catch that one. >> Thank you. All right. Uh, if there's no other discussion at this time, I'd like to

184
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:30.000
call for a motion for ordinance number 2026-29, which is a comprehensive plan amendment. >> I would like to make a motion to recommend approval for resolution 2026-29

185
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:44.720
based on the six factual matters within the land development code. >> The 16, the 16. >> 16, I'm sorry. Yes, ma'am. All right, we have a motion to recommend approval. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> All right, we have a motion and a

186
00:56:44.720 --> 00:57:00.000
second. Everybody in favor of recommending approval for ordinance number 2026-29 say I. >> I. >> I. >> Any opposed? All right, motion passes 5. Next one. Could I please get a motion for

187
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:15.839
ordinance number 2026-30? And this is a zoning map amendment. I'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of ordinance number 2026-30 based on the 16 findings within the land

188
00:57:15.839 --> 00:57:32.960
development code. >> All right, we have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> All right. All in favor of recommending approval for ordinance number 2026-30, say I. >> I. >> I. Any opposed? >> Motion passes 5-0.

189
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:52.079
Next we have ordinance number 2026-24. This is for Nova Road out parcels and this is a zoning map amendment from community center core to community center court or community center core county to community center core city. Uh

190
00:57:52.079 --> 00:58:12.680
and this is ZMA25-000022. So essentially, I believe it was annexed into the city and >> that is correct. Uh good evening Ralph Keith, associate planner with community development. Tonight we'll be presenting uh DRC case number ZMA25-000022,

191
00:58:13.040 --> 00:58:32.960
Nova Road out parcels, ordinance number 20264. uh as you mentioned earlier these parcels were annexed uh at the end of 2025 via ordinance number 20 202537 [clears throat] and layer received a future land use

192
00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:50.160
through the future land use element ordinance number 202450. So currently the future land uses JPA community center. The existing zoning is community center core county but the proposed zoning of community center core city. The development is compatible with

193
00:58:50.160 --> 00:59:05.920
all surrounding areas and will have no adverse impacts on city facilities. Currently the minimum dwelling unit per acre is 18 with a maximum of four of 40 as well as it was annexed to the city

194
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:23.920
limits via ordinance 2025-37 on May 27 2025. Here is a graphic representation of the parcels along East East Arlo Bronson and Nova Road. This is the future land use

195
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:40.160
as well as the zoning, but of course it's pending, so the map doesn't show a color as of yet. >> Oh, you're using hatches now, huh? [clears throat] >> We're getting fancy. Um, staff recommends approval of ordinance number

196
00:59:40.160 --> 00:59:58.880
202624 and likewise is requested that the planning commission also recommend approval of ordinance number 202624. staff is available for questions. >> So, can you just clarify for the commission uh what constitutes or what

197
00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:15.200
can be built on a parcel that is labeled as community center core? That's pretty broad, right? >> So, it is a mix of uses. Um, so the parcels in the to the north are going to

198
01:00:15.200 --> 01:00:30.720
be residential. Of course, they've already have started building. The ones to the south that are the subject tonight are commercial and those uses can range from retail to convenience stores with gasoline pumps, um drive-through restaurants, things like

199
01:00:30.720 --> 01:00:53.280
that. So, they are required to put in at least 40% of commercial uses. What is the existing area that's kind of uh the little rectangle? Is that a lift station or something? >> The little divot. >> Oh, that's a gas station.

200
01:00:53.280 --> 01:01:10.160
>> No, no, no. I'm talking about on the on the far right of the >> And the second parcel next to >> Yeah. Next to where it says Angel Way. >> Um I believe it is a lift station. >> Okay. Just I'm just looking at the the map.

201
01:01:10.160 --> 01:01:44.480
So, we can't build where there's a lift station. >> We can't really see too well on the [clears throat] area to show. >> Oh, the notch. I see. You done studying it? >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can. Yeah. Any uh

202
01:01:44.480 --> 01:02:01.000
feel free to comment or >> Well, I'm assuming this is just the technicality because it's it was county city. We're moving it back in the city. We have to >> assign a zone. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> That's correct. >> Proper zoning.

203
01:02:04.640 --> 01:02:19.920
>> Do we have any questions? [snorts] No. Okay. Uh, then I guess we can allow for public comment. Is anybody in the audience tonight here to speak about this ordinance? All right. Then we will close public

204
01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:43.040
comment. I mean, I don't have any questions. Nobody else does. All right. At this time, I will call for a motion. I'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of ordinance number 2026-24

205
01:02:43.040 --> 01:02:58.000
based on the 16 findings within the land development code. >> All right, we have a motion to recommend approval. >> Second. >> We have a second. All in favor of recommending approval for ordinance number 2026-24, say I. >> I. >> Any opposed?
