25-12 request by PTP real estate Enterprises LLC to assign neighborhood uh support future land use to an Annex parcel and to assign commercial Highway C3 zoning District to the same Annex parcel General location 75 Sage Road the
area covered by this request is 8.64 plus or minus Acres right Heather waiter senior planner for the record uh before you on the screen is the future land use map the subject property there um is in the black and white hatch um all of that that's in white is surrounding is an
unincorporated Poke County the city designations that we have there to the East are neighborhood support which is also what's um being requested for this property as well as um neighborhood Suburban for the Inman Grove subdivision as you look at the zoning um is R2 for
the single family that PUD that's on there allows for C3 uses which is the um zoning District that is is being asked for for this property you look at the aerial again is a a vacant location there at the corner of dundy Road and Sage
Road go into some photos this is looking to the north at the subject property this is sorry that's not to the north that's to the West I got it disoriented this is to the north looking um down past uh Stage Road there's some
um single family properties to the north there in the unincorporated area area as you look to the east The enman Grove subdivision uh this is also at the East there's a a Convenience St gas station at the corner and this is looking to the
South again is that that major interstation with Sage Road Carl Floyd Road dundy Road um and then there is commercial to the West uh with a pinch of Penny and immediately adjacent is a mobile food vending
operation PTP real estate um Enterprises LLC is the ier and they request the city assign neighborhood support future land use and Commercial Highway C3 zoning District to an Annex parcel the parcel total is 8.64 acres and is generally located at 75 Sage Road the parcel was
annexed into the city November 25th 2024 and the petitioner intends to develop the property with a medical office as these requests contain a smallscale future land use Amendment reviewed by Florida Commerce and other state and local agencies is not required there is sufficient infrastructure Capac capacity
is support these requests however final concurrency determination shall be made at the time the property receives site plan approval and is developed additionally when C3 development standards on-site parking requirements and storm storm water requirements are applied to the property the actual
maximum square footage would likely be less than the maximum potential square footage as would the impact um prior to annexation this property was designated in pop County as Business Park Center to uh the requested neighborhood support future land use is consistent with the
property's location as well as City designations in the area staff's review of the request yields the following uh again that neighborhood support future land use and C3 zoning district is consistent with the property location along an Arterial Highway Corridor and with developed uses and City
designations in the area and there is sufficient public infrastructure capacity to accommodate the maximum theal theoretical development under C3 therefore staff does recommend that the Planning Commission recommend approval of these items and their forwarding to the city commission for final action I
stand for any questions that you may have any questions no all right we will close the planning portion of the hearing and open the public portion of the hearing anyone from the public wishing to speak for or against this case if you would please state your name
and address for the record kend phou [Music] represent btp real estate Enterprises and really have nothing to add to presentation but engineer for the
project be happy to answer questions okay thank you anyone [Applause] else if you would Jordan I think we need to swear in I think Jordan needs to
swear you in right here do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give in this case shall be the truth and if you would please state your name and address for yes 428 chance Avenue Byron cob um I like the area shot that they
gave but to me why didn't they show the entrance of the place which be the same entrance to our house why didn't you take a shot of the entrance from us instead of just showing the long shot because we really I like
the idea that it's going to be a medical center what else they only said Medical Center is it total thing gonna be a medical center or they gonna have uh nail shop or smoke shops or what else in there I mean you know you you you got to
look at the whole overall picture and you you you're not going to let them use a medical plan to say oh it's just going to be a medical building smoke shops and liquor shops is unacceptable so if you want to let them
build in your neighborhood we don't want it there now is just going to be a medical building totally I'm all for it so what else is going to be in there for that that building that's what we want to know because when you guys send
us this mail out you never specified what's going to be there only a building what kind of building Warehouse or what but now we know it's going to be a medical building but what else is in that plan for this property yeah can can any any any of you
guys tell me so I think we're starting with the zoning because the property was annexed into the City of Winter Haven Heather probably has some more information so um it was annexed into the city at that time we have to put on City designations because it has now is in our jurisdiction the request is to
assign C3 zoning so any use that is permitted in the table of land use in the C3 zoning District would be permitted the petitioner has indicated in their application they intend to develop as a medical center but once C3 is assigned they could do anything that's located in that zoning District
that's exactly what I thought and that's because we we do not we can't we're not going to do something that specifically locks it into one certain use zoning districts allow for a a wide array of uses and again prior when it was in the county it was Business Park Center which
is a very intense um almost heavy heavy heavy commercial industrial type um land use so that could have been developed with this C3 is actually less intense than what was allowed in the county okay I appreciate that uh but I'm looking at the entrance right
here the entrance to our house is right you you can say it as well as I can but my point is that once you Zone as a medical billing you put anything you want there right is that what you in Ence that's what you're saying so my
point is where is the entrance to this particular uh projects going to be is it going to be where our entrance to our house to the entrance or you don't know that yeah we don't know that is not this point we're at the level now that zoning that's on there that comes in in the site plan process um it dundy road is a
state road Stage Road is a County Road they would be the ones that would Grant the access and permit that okay because we we already have a problem coming out of our property and they got the lights messed up because they don't give us a
yellow a light to make a left turn on on on on red when nothing is coming and we can't even get out of the the the area now this gonna be even more difficult so I'm just you know that that uh the changes that that that that you're going
to make for this year changes need to be a change another change especially for the entrance that's my main concern we don't want to we don't want to we we all there's about 15 20 of us when I first moved in here we talked about putting up
a private gate then the city said oh well uh we won't be responsible for the RADS of Lights you guys have to pay for it so I I know a little about this year because I was on the uh on the committee if I'm over my time tell me and I'll
stop saying because I see you with I can see I know anyway no no he was he was just asking to clarify that there there public streets and not private streets he was asking for clarification no my apologies sir uh but uh um I I get into this here because I was born and raised
right there in Lake Hamilton and I left here and I I'm used to the politics in San Francisco because I just came back home after 578 58 nine years so I know how this work but I don't want to do it they even asked me to be on the board at
my house I said no because I'm a type of person I don't take no for an answer and I get stuff done so and I don't want to make enemies but anyway getting back to this here so I hope we can clarify where the interest is going to be and that's my main concern so maybe
you got some sers out a this gentleman right here on the project can let us know where the interest is going to be because that's the that's my only concern is a liquor shop and a smoke shop that that's my only concern
that cause chaos and problems y just thank you sure I appreciate your comments the um when we go through the site plan review process when the applicant actually is ready to develop something they submit a site plan to us that is public record once they submit
it to us um and so you know if you periodically check back with City staff and we can give you contact information as soon as we receive a site plan and we don't know when that would be it could be you know next week it could be four years from now we don't know um but when
we receive that it's public record and we can we can provide that to you okay well you just call me personally thank you thank you guys thank you for your comments I appreciate uh you listening to me and I may step over bounds a little but I'm very concerned about the neighborhood yeah because my mother
neighborhood when I grew up in 1973 was just like that neighborhood and now it's trash because what they buil in and what happened so that's I don't want to I didn't come back from California to live that life again thank you very much I appreciate your time understood thank
you for your comments anyone else in the public no all right we will close the public portion of the hearing and reopen the planning portion of the hearing any additional comments or questions
no all right I will make a motion in favor of case number P 25-11 and p- 25-12 request by PTP real estate Enterprises LLC to assign neighborhood support future land use to an Annex parcel and to assign commercial Highway
C3 zoning District to the same Annex parcel General location 75 Sage Road the area covered by this request is 8.64 plus or minus Acres as presented in the fact sheet second all right we have a second all those in favor say I I all oppos
same sign all right case is approved moving on to case number p-25 D14 an administrative request to amend the 2035 Winter Haven comp comprehensive plan by amending the future land use element Transportation element and the
transportation map series to reflect potential alignments for the proposed Central pulk Parkway East okay I'm going to present this item um this is kind of a small change to the comp plan uh um and I'll just go through
some uh background here and then um kind of give a little description of the objective uh while the comprehensive plan's text is not intended to be revised on a recurring basis text does periodically require amendments to address issues which arise from time to
time these proposed amendments to the Future land use and transportation elements designed to help secure and preserve future corridors necessary for the construction of future Transportation projects necessary to support growth occurring in the City and surrounding
communities uh the revisions to the Future land use objective 1.7 will add policy 1.7.3 requires the city consider future Transportation corridors or amending the future land use map uh revisions to
Transportation objective 1.8 will add language supporting P for the Department transportation efforts to establish a corridor for the proposed Central pole Parkway East uh revisions the transportation of map series are needed to reflect potential corridors under
consideration as part of fdot's alternative Corridor evaluation study for the central P Parkway East having this future roadway depicted on the map series will support efforts to select the final Corridor and ultimately secure rights away from needed for
construction um kind of give you a little background Central pole Parkway impacts a very small piece of the city at the very extreme Southeastern corner of the city down on Art Lake Wells Road um the uh studying I believe it's in
your packet that was uploaded kind of shows the area of study U there's four potential routes that they're looking to uh basically cross us27 uh south of Eagle Ridge Mall and kind of head southwesterly towards State
Road 60 um there's a small little area that can kind of cross through the city limits of when Haven that's undeveloped right now um it's a pretty big parcel that's still available however if we
reflect this in our comprehensive plan this potential Corridor does give us some ability to work with whoever would maybe develop that parcel in the future toh preserve some kind of uh two to 300 foot wide path through there to fit the
road um ultimately what this will do is is the Hope is it would connect 60 closer to the the ilc out there and try to get some of the uh semi TRS um off of the local streets and get them more
directly to I4 and other points um the fature land news policy is kind of looking at more holistically we should be looking at this on any significant uh roadway project that could come into the city we always need to be mindful of those future corridors
going forward so that's kind of the idea of putting a policy in the future land use element so that does um conclude my presentation and staff does recommend recommend approval of this request as forwarding the city commission for for Action is
only one of those routes come only one of them will I mean all four of them ultimately could potentially come through yeah but there's four they call them corridors right but it's um only it's only going to be one ultimately
gets developed gotcha any other questions Commissioners no all right we will close the planning portion of the hearing and open the public portion of the hearing anyone from the public wishing to speak for or against this case no all right seeing
none we will close the public portion and reopen the planning portion of the hearing any additional questions I'll make a motion to approve case number p-25 D14 admin request to amend the 2000 2035 Winter
Haven comprehensive plan by amending the future land use element Transportation element in the transportation map series to reflect potential alignments for the proposed Central Park Central P Parkway East as presented in the fact sheet
