ANYHOW. YOU KNOW, BEEN HERE A LONG TIME. WE'VE BEEN A LONGTIME RESIDENTS. THIS IS MY, I GT A DUPLEX ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT. ORIENT ROAD IS A TWO-LANE ROAD, AND I MEAN WE HAVE GOT A LOT OF BUSINESS OR LOT OF STUFF GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND NOBODY IS MAKING TURNING LANES OR YOU KNOW OR IMPROVING THE ROADS THAT'S GOING TO SUPPLY THIS STUFF. SO RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS SEWER AND WATER. I KNOW THERE IS WATER, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS SEWER THERE, SO THIS IS GOING TO ALL BE ON SEPTIC TANKS. WE HAVE DITCHES IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSES, SO YOU KNOW THERE IS NO DRAINAGE AND YOU KNOW, AND BY PUTTING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ON THAT TWO-LANE ROAD IS GOING TO DO NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE AREA. THIS IS GOING TO GET, YOU KNOW, MORE AND MORE TRAFFIC AND IT'S GOING TO BE MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS FOR THE KIDS. SO YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT A, MY PROPERTY USED TO BE A TWO- TWO DUPLEXES PER ACRE. HOW IT GOT CHANGED TO 12 I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS JUST, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THESE DUPLEXES AND TRIPLEXES AND QUADPLEXES ALL OVER THE PLACE IS NOT IMPROVING OUR LIFESTYLE IN THE RURAL AREA. AND WITH THESE CONDOMINIUMS AND APARTMENT COMPLEXES, IT IS JUST TOTALLY WIPING OUT OUR ROADS AND OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR WAY TO MOVE AROUND IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. AND YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S GETTING TO BE RIGHT NOW WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO IT IF YOU DO NOT IMPROVE THESE ROADS. AND HAVE A REASON FOR, YOU KNOW, AKING CARE OF THE SERVICES TO THESE AREAS. BECAUSE MOST OF THE SUBDIVISIONS BEING BUILT, THEY ARE NOT PUTTING TURNING LANES ON THESE ROADS AND IT'S CAUSING A LOT OF ACCIDENTS. NOT HELPING ANYBODY SO YOU GO DEVELOP THE LAND, BUT IF YOU DON'T DEVELOP THE ROADS, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM. WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM, AND IT'S JUST GOING TO GET WORSE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION? SEEING NO ONE RESPONDING, STAFF, ANYTHING FURTHER?

PD SITE PLAN IS BUBBLED SHOWING YOU WHERE THE LOCATION OF A PROPOSED 100 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE WOULD BE. A COUPLE POINTS THAT ARE MADE BY THE STAFFS, WHICH ARE VERY GOOD POINTS IS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT BUFFER IN THE REAR, WHICH IS COMPOSED OF WETLANDS AREAS, AND NATURAL AREAS. THERE ARE FOUR ACCESS POINTS YOU SEE THERE'S THREE ON HIGHWAY 92, AND THERE'S ONE TO THE REAR. THREE OF THE ACCESS POINTS WILL BE REMOVED, AND NEW ACCESSES INDICATED ON THE SITE PLAN. THE ZONING OF THE SITE IS CG. YOU CAN SEE IT'S A VERY INTENSIVE CORRIDOR AT THIS POINT WITH A LOT OF CI AND CG. AND ON THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES OF COURSE THAT MARRIES IT WITH CMU-12 AND SMU-6 SO IT LAYS SIGHTLY IN THE SMU-6 AND PARTLY IN R6. THIS IS THE CURRENT SITE WHICH IS GOING TO BE REMOVED. IT'S PAST ITS PRIME, WAY PAST

ITS PRIME, AND ALL OF WHAT YOU SEE HERE WILL BE REMOVED. LITTLE CLOSER LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES. AND THERE'S A 500-FOOT EXTENSION. THE SMU-6 PLANNING COMMISSION NOTES AND SUPPORT NOTE INDUSTRIAL USES ARE CURRENTLY PERMITTED ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE. AND THIS IS THE DIAGRAM SHOWING THAT EXTENSION.

OKAY. THE APPLICANT, PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING, ISABELLE ALBERT, CERTIFIED PLANNER. SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A 634-ACRE PARCEL THAT IS COMPRISED OF AN EXISTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND WE'RE ADDING ACREAGE TO THE EXISTING CYPRESS RIDGE THAT IS IN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA AND IT'S ALSO WITHIN THE WIMAUMA COMMUNITY PLAN AND THE SOUTHSHORE AREA SYSTEM PLANS. AND IT HAS A FUTURE LAND USE OF RESIDENTIAL 4. SO IT'S CURRENTLY APPROVED, IT'S ABOUT 500 ACRES FOR RESIDENTIAL USES, AND A SCHOOL, AND AS WELL AS COMMUNITY SUPPORT. THAT'S COMPRISED OF 25 ACRES OF THE SCHOOL AND 25 ACRES FOR THE RESIDENTIAL SUPPORT USE. AND THE REQUEST IS ADDING APPROXIMATELY 106 ACRES TO THE EXISTING CYPRESS RIDGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THAT'S SHOWN HERE IN YELLOW. AND IT'S ALSO TO ALLOW MAXIMUM OF 2,000 UNITS, THAT'S COMPRISED F DIFFERENT STYLE OF RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS FROM BUNGALOWS TO TOWNHOMES, VILLAS AND SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. WE ALSO REQUESTED THE REMOVAL OF THE SCHOOL, WHICH THE SCHOOL BOARD REVIEWED AND HAD NO OBJECTIONS AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT USE. COMPATIBILITY IS THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS APPROVED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR IN NATURE TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, AND THE SWFWMD IS PROPERTY TO THE EAST. WHICH BRINGS ME TO TRANSPORTATION, AND MR. YATES IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

GOOD EVENING, MICHAEL YATES WITH PALM TRAFFIC AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN. JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH TRAFFIC VERY BRIEFLY. WE ARE DOING SOME IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. THERE WILL BE A MUFASA THAT WILL BE GOING TO THE BOARD AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION FOR AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE INTERSECTION OF BISHOP AND WEST LAKE. NEXT PLAN SHOULD SHOW IT. IT IS A MODIFIED TRAFFIC CIRCLE THAT HAS AN IRREGULAR SHAPE BUT WILL HELP IN TRAFFIC CONTROL AT THE INTERSECTION AND TO SLOW DRASK DOWN BECAUSE THAT SECTION OF WEST LAKE IS A PRETTY LONG SEGMENT. AND THEN AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS PLAN, THERE IS A SECTION TO THE NORTH OF WEST LAKE THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THAT WAS PART OF ANOTHER MUFASA THAT WAS BEING DONE THAT COORDINATES WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AND ONE OF THE LENNAR PROJECTS TO THE NORTH. SO THAT IS ACTUALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND MOSTLY DONE, WHICH PROVIDES 10-FOOT SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES.

OKAY. AND SO THE BISHOP ROAD TO THE EAST WILL BE MODIFIED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT IN ADDITION TO THE INTERSECTION THERE TO PROVIDE THE 11-FOOT LANES AND WHILE THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALKS, I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO FIT 10-FOOT MULTIUSE PATH THAL WTHATWILL GO THROUGH THE PROJEC. SO THE AGREEMENT THAT IS GOING CONCURRENTLY. YES. DID IT HAVE DATES IN THERE SO WHEN THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED? THE FINALIZING THAT AGREEMENT, BUT IT WILL BE AN AGREEMENT THAT GOES TO THE BOARD CONCURRENTLY WITH THIS PROJECTS. OKAY, AND DOES IT COVER BISHOP OVER TO 301?

IT IS SPECIFICALLY JUST FOR THE INTERSECTION. BISHOP FROM WEST LAKE TO 301 IS BEING BUILT AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, AND SERVES AS PART OF THE ACCESS, SO AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, THE, THERE IS A TYPICAL SECTION THAT IS BEING APPROVED AS PART OF THE DES DESIGN EXCEPN THAT COVERS THE SECTION FROM WEST LAKE TO ITS CURRENT TERMINUS. TO THE EAST. OKAY, THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW? IT'S GOING THROUGH PERMITTING NOW FOR THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS, AND THEN EAST OF THAT IS ALREADY BUILT. OKAY. AND THEN TO THE SOUTH, WEST LAKE.

THERE IS A SOUTH SECTION OF WEST LAKE THAT IS BEING DONE AS A SEPARATE PROJECTION, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ONE. THERE IS A, THERE IS AN APPROVED PLAN THAT THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT WILL TAKE WEST LAKE AND IMPROVE IT SOUTH OF BISHOP. OKAY, BUT IT IS A ZONING CONDITION THAT'S INCORPORATED INTO THIS APPLICATION TO BUILD WEST LAKE FROM THIS TRAFFIC CIRCLE SOUTH.

THERE SHOULD NOT BE. WELL, THEN HELP ME OUT THEN. WILLIAM MALLOY, 325 SOUTH BOULEVARD, TAMPA, FLORIDA. MR. HEARING MASTINGER MASTER, I BELIEVE WE ARE RUNNING THE PORTION OF -- THROUGH AND ANOTHER DEVELOPER IS TAKING WEST LAKE FROM THE PEANUT DOWN SOUTH. FURTHER SOUTH. TO OUR DIVISION.

OKAY. OKAY, THERE IS CONDITION 17A THAT SAYS TO -- EXTENSION OF WEST LAKE BETWEEN BISHOP ROAD AND PROPOSED ACCESS Y? IT'S CONDITION 17A. DO WE HAVE THE SITE PLAN? IT'S ON THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY.

THERE WE GO. SO IF YOU CAN SEE HERE, SEE WHERE THE TRIANGULAR SHAPE IS AT THE VERY BOTTOM CORNER? THAT IS THE SECTION OF WEST LAKE. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LITTLE LOOP IN DARK GRAY, SO THAT IS THE SECTION OF WEST LAKE THAT WE ARE BUILDING THROUGH OUR PROJECT AT THE SOUTHERN END. JUST WITHIN YOUR BOUNDARIES? JUST WITHIN OUR PROJECT BOUNDARIES. OKAY. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER DEVELOPER THAT HAS THE COMMITMENT TO BUILD IT FROM BISHOP, WEST LAKE AND BISHOP INTERSECTION, TO THIS SPOT. OKAY. AND ARE YOU COORDINATING WITH ANY OTHER --

WE HAVE BEEN. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BUT I NEEDED CLARIFICATION. NO, THAT WAS IT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, AND THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT. OKAY. I THINK THAT'S ALL WE HAVE. MR. MALLOY, DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION? IT DOES, YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF?

AS YOU SAW MAJORITY OF THE SITE IS WITHIN PD18-1048 AND THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE RES-4 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY AND THE URBAN SERVICE AREA. THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE WIMAUMA AREA, WHICH IS A GROWING AREA OF MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES, AT DENSITIES VARYING FROM THREE TO FOUR UNITS PER ACRE. THE AREA ALSO CONSISTS OF LARGE CONSERVATION PRES RATION AREAS WITHIN THE ELAPP PROGRAM. VARIOUS HOUSING TYPES ARE PROPOSED WITH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT ARE COMPARABLE TO OTHER RECENTLY APPROVED PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.

I'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I KNOW THAT THE FRONT PORTION IS OPEN. > OKAY. ISN'T IT? I THOUGHT SO.

MR. YATES. THAT'S NOT REALLY ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION. MAYBE HE LOOKED AT IT WHILE TERENCE W WAS LOOKING AT TRAFFIC IMPACTS. MICHAEL YATES, PALM TRAFFIC, I HAVE BEEN SWORN. YES, I KNOW THE BACK PORTION WHICH I BELIEVE WAS THE HIGH SCHOOL IS OPEN AND OPERATING. IT OPENED THIS, FOR THIS YEAR. THE OTHER PORTIONS ARE I THINK GETTING READY TO START CONSTRUCTION, BUT IT'S THE BACK PORTION THAT HAS BEEN BUILT AND THE IMPROVEMENTS ON WEST LAKE WERE DONE IN ACCORDANCE TO SUPPORT THAT OPENING.

TIM LAMPKIN WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WILL PROVIDE STAFF FINDINGS AFTER THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. > OKAY, THE APPLICANT, PLEASE.

> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS JERRY DEDENBACH. MY ADDRESS IS 11801 RESEARCH DRIVE, ALACHUA, FLORIDA, 32615. WE'RE HEE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF EAST SLIGH LLC TO REQUEST A REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 4.98 ACRES ALONG THE HILLSBOROUGH RIV ON EAST SLIGH AVENUE. THE INTENT IS TO CREATE A SMALL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH MULTIFAMILY THAT CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE REZONING. THIS FURTHERS THE OBJECTIVES OF THE EAST LAKE ORIENT PARK COMMUNITY PLAN VISION. IT BROADENS HOUSING CHOICES IN NORTHERN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. IT PRESERVES THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER, WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND LIKE COMMERCIAL USES EXPRKZ IT CREATES A SAFER ENVIRONMENTS BY UTILIZING CRIME THROUGH VIRTUAL PROTECTION DESIGN ELEMENTS WITHIN THE PROJECT. THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE FORMER SINGLE-FAMILY LOT ON EAST SLIGH AVENUE THAT YOU CAN SEE, WHICH WILL BE UTILIZED IN THE OVERALL PD MASTER PLAN. EAST SLIGH AVENUE HAS SEVERAL LARGE OAK TREES BENEATH WHICH WE WILL BE CREATING A SIDEWALK THAT WILL INTERCONNECT TO THE NEAREST POINT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROJECT SITE. WE BEGIN OUR PROCESS IN AUGUST OF 2025, AND WE'RE PEASED TO BE HERE TONIGHT WITH THE ZONING HEARING MASTER PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS THE CONTEXT MAP THAT SHOWS YOU THE PROPERTY ALONG EAST SLIGH AVENUE. AND IT IS BETWEEN HARNEY ROAD AND 56th STREET. THE CALL YOTS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS MAP -- CALLOUTS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS MAP ARE ADDITIONAL HOUSING AREAS THAT ARE AROUND THE PROPERTY AND SOME COMMERCIAL USES TO THE SOUTH SIDE AND THERE ARE PARKS ALSO ON THE SOUTH SIDE. PART OF THE CHARM OF THIS SITE AND WHY OUR CLIENTS HAVE PURCHASED THIS SITE IS BECAUSE OF ITS ACCESS TO THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS AN EXISTING BOAT RAMP ON THE SITE. WHEN WE TOLD EPD STAFF WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A KAYAK SHACK SO THE RESIDENTS HERE COULD KAYAK PEACEFULLY ALONG THE

HILLSBOROUGH RIVER, SOME OF THE EPD STAFF WE WOULD LIKE TO LIVE AT A PLACE LIKE THAT WHERE YOU CAN LIVE CONVENIENTLY AND LAUNCH YOUR KAYAK IN THE AFTERNOON AND ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE RIVER. WE INTEND TO KEEP THAT BOAT RAMP AND PROBABLY PUT A DOCK THERE BUT WE REALIZE THAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS ACTION. THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT HAS RESIDENTIAL 20 ON THE SITE, WHICH WILL ALLOW UP TO 20 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, AND THE SITE'S EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE ALLOWS 55 DWELLING UNITS ON THE ACRE BUT WE ARE ONLY REQUESTING 47. THERE ARE NO WETLANDS IN PACT PROPOSED TO THE SITE. THE SITE HAS BOTH RSC-3 AND ASC-1 ZONING PRESENTLY. THE PD ZONING THAT WE ARE REQUESTING WILL PERMIT THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND TWO ATTACHED BUILDING UPON THE SITE. TAMPA FAMILY MEDICAL IS TO OUR IMMEDIATE EAST WITH THEIR DRIVEWAY PARKING LOT AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITY. TO THE WEST IS A SMALL LOT, FOUR-LOT SUBDIVISION. THE MASTER PLAN AS SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN HAS TWO BUILDINGS,IAL REORIENT THAT FOR YOU SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PROPER ORIENTATION WITH THE BUILDINGS AND THE SITE RUNNING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THE PROPOSED PLAN WILL HAVE AN EAST AND WEST BUILDING, THE EAST BUILDING RUNS LONGITUDINALLY NORTH TO SOUTH. TO THE EAST OF THAT IS TAMPA FAMILY MEDICAL'S PARKING LOT, CIRCULATION, DRIVE AISLES, AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.

IF I COULD ASK, WHERE IS THE STORMWATER CONCEPTUALLY? OUR STORMWATER CONCEPTUALLY IS LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE EAST BUILDING OUTSIDE OF THE WETLAND AND BUFFER AREAS HERE APPROXIMATELY UNDER THIS LABEL. OKAY. THE EXISTING BOAT RAMP AS YOU CAN SEE IS HERE TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE SITE. HAVE YOU DONE ANY PRELIMINARY DESIGN YET?

YES, THE -- SORRY. JUMPED FORWARD. THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN HAS BEEN COMPLETED IN CONCERT WITH OUR ARCHITECTS. THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH THIS PLAN. SINCE WE ARE ABUTTING COMMERCIAL USES TO THE EAST, WE'VE LOCATED THIS BUILDING LONGITUDINALLY RUNNING NORT-SOUTH, AND SO TO CREATE BETTER CURB APPEAL AND TO PRESERVE THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER, WE'VE LOCATED THE SOUTHERN BUILDING WITH ITS NARROW SIDE AGAINST THE SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS THAT ARE HERE AND THEN AN IMMEDIATELY THIS TRANSITIONS INTO TOWNHOMES AND OTHER MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT SO WE'VE DESIGNED THE SITE TO BE SENSITIVE FOR COMPATIBILITY PURPOSES AS WELL AS TO PRESERVE THE STREET FRONT OF SLIGH AVENUE AND PRESENT A BETTER RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT ALONG THE CORRIDOR. AGAIN, WE WILL BE ADDING SIDEWALKS IN FRONT OF THIS PROJECT, MINDFUL OF THE LARGE OAK TREES THAT ARE THERE THAT WILL CONNECT FURTHER TO THE WEST OF RIVER TREE LANDING SO WE'LL CREATE A CONTINUOUS SIDEWALK SYSTEM ALONG THERE. STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED IN THEIR WORK 13 ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT THIS PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH OVERALL, AND ALSO IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAD LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES. STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS, AND WE WOULD ENTERTAIN AND REQUEST RESPECTFULLY YOUR APPROVAL OF IT ALSO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR PLANNING. AND JUST TO INTRODUCE THIS LOCATION. IT IS CONSISTS OF 6.8 ACRES SOUTH OF U.S. HIGHWAY 301, IT'S WEST OF WILLIAMS ROAD, AND NORTH OF RIPLEY ROAD. IT IS WITHIN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA AND IT IS WITHIN THE THONOTOSASSA COMMUNITY PLAN. AND MAY I ASK WHICH IS THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD? IS IT A BUTTON HERE? LIKE THAT? OKAY. GOT IT. THESE MAPS JUST SHOW YOU THE LOCATION OF THE URBAN SERVICE AREA AND IN THE THONOTOSASSA COMMUNITY OVERLAY. U.S. 301 IS A DESIGNATED TRUCK ROUTE, AND THAT IS A MAJOR FACTOR ON WHY WE'RE SEEING THIS AREA TRANSITION. IT IS ALSO IN AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE. AND THIS BASICALLY IS A FEDERAL TAX PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE INVESTMENTS IN DISTRESSED AREAS. AND IT PROVIDES ECONOMIC AND JOB CREATION BENEFIT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AND WORK IN THESE TARGETED AREAS. SO THE AREA IS CURRENTLY DISTRESSED. WE DO HAVE SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF THE AREA HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT SOME CONCERNS THEY HAVE FOR THE AREA. AND OVERRIDINGLY WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT. THIS LANDOWNER HAS REALLY GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO WALK AROUND AND CONNECT WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND GET THEIR FEEDBACK AND INCORPORATE THEIR FEEDBACK INTO THE PD PLAN. SO THE REQUEST IS REZONING FROM AR TO PD TO ACCOMMODATE A LIGHT NDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE. AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THIS GRAPHIC HERE REALLY SHOWS HOW THE AREA IS IN TRANSITION AND WHY WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY A VAST VARIETY OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, AND THE AREA IS CLEARLY TRANSITIONING AND LEVERAGING THAT 301 CORRIDOR.

YEAH, IF YOU COULD -- TAKE A MOMENT, WALK ME AROUND THESE VARIOUS --

SURE. SO WE ARE IN THE AREA IN THE BOTTOM IN THE YELLOW. IMMEDIATELY TO THE, DO YOU WANT ME TO GO NORTH? WHICH WAY DO YOU WANT ME TO GO? [LAUGHTER] COUNTERCLOCKWISE. OKAY. SO IF YOU SEE THE LITTLE SIGN THERE THAT SAYS EMPIRE TRUCK REPIRE AND TIRE, SUPER TOWING, CASH FOR CARS, JUNK CARS, THAT'S THE, AND I'VE GOT ANOTHER SLIDE ON THE ROAD TAT SHOWS A BETTER PICTURE OF IT, BUT THAT'S WHY YOU SEE ALL THESE TRUCKS MMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY. THAT BUSINESS IS ALREADY IN EXISTENCE. DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH OF US IS AN -- IT'S A VACANT, IT'S CURRENTLY VACANT BUT IT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSING SITE AS WELL: IT'S CALLED TAURUS DEVELOPMENT GROUP MM250811. THAT WA APPROVED, THAT MAJOR MODIFICATION WAS APPROVED IN DECEMBER 25TH. NOW NOTABLY THAT IS PART OF -- IT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED AS PART OF AN, S, MU6 FLEX. BUT THAT PROJECT IS INCLUDED IN THE BOUNDARY OF OUR CORRESPONDING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO LIP. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT PART OF THIS PD, IT IS PART OF THE CORRESPONDING AND I HAVE A SLIDE LATER ON THAT SHOWS THAT. THEN AS YOU GO FURTHER NORTH, THERE IS MORE WAREHOUSING AND THEN THERE IS THE HAPPY TRAVEL RV PARK THAT'S IN EXISTENCE. IT'S SHOWN KIND OF IN WHITE IN HERE, BUT THAT'S IN EXISTENCE AS WELL. AND THEN MOVING AROUND, THERE'S THE TCC WALKER ROAD REZONING PD26-0558 AND THAT'S AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SITE PROPOSED FOR LIGHT WAREHOUSE. SO.

YES, IT HELPS.

SO WITH THIS PD, THREEIVE THREE VARIATION REQUESTS, AND THE TWO ARE BUFFER -- THE TWO VARIATIONS SHOWN IN TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS, IN GREEN HERE, REQUEST TO GO FROM 30 TO 15 FEET PURSUANT TO CODE SECTION SUCKS .0606 THAT -- 6.06.06 THAT REQUIRES 30-FOOT BUFFER TRANSITION NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL. SO THE UNIQUE CONFIGUFIGURATIONF THE SITE HAS KIND OF -- WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ABUTTING USES, SO WE HAVE 15 HERE AND 30 HERE AND TO MAKE IT UNIFORM AND ALSO TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE BALANCING THE NEEDS FOR TRUCK MANEUVERABILITY, WE ARE REQUESTING THIS VARIATION TO 15 FEET. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE NEIGHBORS. WE DO HAVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE VARIATION ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER FROM SUN McNULTY IN THE RECORD, AND FOR, AND I'LL GO THROUGH THE MITIGATING MEASURES ON THE NEXT PAGE, BUT WE WORKED WITH STAFF AND WITH THE COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT SUFFICIENT MITIGATION MEASURES WOULD BE IN PLACE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE WAIVER REQUEST. THERE IS ONE TECHNICAL VARIATION NEEDED ON THE -- ALONG RIPLEY ROAD AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S TECHNICALLY A DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOT TO WILLIAMS AND RIPLEY, AND THE MAXIMUM WALL THAT YOU COULD HAVE THERE OR FENCE WOULD BE FOUR FEET, SO WE WORKED WITH STAFF, STAFF WOULD LIKE US TO HAVE THE SIX-FOOT FENCE ALONG RIPLEY TO ENSURE TRANSITION AND SEPARATION FOR THE RESIDENTIAL TO THE SOUTH.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU SAY FENCE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? IS THAT A SIX-FOOT? SIX FOOT. BIG FENCE? CORRECT. OKAY.

SO THESE ARE THE COMPATIBILITY MITIGATION MEASURES THAT WE AGREED TO AND WE WORKED CAREFULLY WITH STAFF AND WE THANK THEM FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH US IN PERSON TO GO OVER IT AND BRAINSTORM TOGETHER. SO WE DID ENHANCED SCREENING. WE HAVE MINIMUM SETBACKS. YOU CAN SEE THEM ON THE PLAN. 120 FEET OVER THERE IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, 65 FEET IN THE MIDDLE THERE ON THE EAST SIDE. THE BUILDING HEIGHT IS CAPPED AT 35. RIPLEY ROAD HAS THAT SIX-FOOT FENCE. THERE WILL BE NO ACCESS TO RIPLEY ROAD. WE HAVE LIMITED THE HOURS OF OPERATION FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 7:0. WE HAVE GATED ACCESS. THERE ARE SPECIFIC DESIGNATED AREAS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING. THERE WILL BE NO UNLOADING OR UNLOADING IN THAT 65-FOOT SETBACK AREA THAT'S ADJACENT TO LT THAT ONE RESIDENTIAL -- TO THAT ONE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND OPEN STORAGE, IF THERE IS ANY, THAT ZONING DOES ALLOW FOR OPEN STORAGE BUT IT IS UNDETERMINED AT THIS TIME IF THERE WOULD DEFINITIVELY BE ANY BUT WE WOULD ENSURE THAT WOULD BE LIMITED TO 60 FEET ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

ARE ALL THOSE POINTS INCORPORATED INTO ZONING CONDITIONS? ABSOLUTELY, YES. OKAY. CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO TH THIS SHOWS YOU THE TAURUS SITE TO THE NORTH, I HAVE A BLUE DOTTED LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. THE TAURUS SITE IS TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY. WE DID GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN -- THE CONCURRENT AND CORRESPONDISH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. THAT WENT ON OCTOBER 13th, 2025. WE HAD A SIMILAR RECOMMENDATION OF INCONSISTENCY FROM THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. BUT THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE CPA TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PLANNING, AND --

WHEN WAS THAT? THAT WAS OCTOBER 13th. OKAY. AND WHAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT THAT DISCUSSION IS THAT THE COMMUNITY CAME OUT AND SPOKE IN SUPPORT, AND WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT DISCUSSION IS THAT THIS WHOLE CORRIDOR IS GOING TO BE LOOKED AT, AND MICHELLE HEINRICH SENT -- NOT MICHELLE HEINRICH -- MY GOSH, WHAT'S HER NAME? TYREK, -- MELISSA LIENHARD.

OH, GOD, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SORRY, I JUST BLANKED THERE FOR A MINUTE. JUST SUBSEQUENT LETTER WAS ENTERED INTO THE RECORD THAT THIS CORRIDOR WOULD BE STUDIED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN UPDATE TO THE TEMPLE TERRACE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND THE PLANNING POLICIES IN THE HILLSBOR UNINCORPORATED HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO -- INTHRODUCTION OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES, ADJACENT USES, COMP PLAN VERSUS THE LDC AND THE INTENT OF THE PD, BUT I THINK WHERE WE HAD OUR DISCONNECT WITH PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS SIMPLY IN THE MITIGATION MEASURES AND IF WHETHER OR NOT THOSE ARE ADEQUATE TO ADDRESS THE COMPATIBILITY ISSUES, AND WE DO HAVE MEMBERS FROM THE COMMUNITY OUT HERE TO TALK IN SUPPORT OF THOSE MITIGATION MEASURES.

AND DID YOU MEET WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF PRIOR TO -- YES, WE DID, IN PERSON, YEAH. THEY CAME TO OUR MEETING. > AHOW DID YOU GO MEET WITH THEM INDEPENDENT OF YOUR PUBLIC HEARING? WELL, WE ACTUALLY SET UP A MEETING WITH STAFF, AND THEY ATTENDED. OKAY. THAT WAS, WHAT, TWO WEEKS AGO? MAYBE A MONTH AGO NOW. SO WE MET IN PERSON, SO. OKAY.

SO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO THIS IS THE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE SOUTH FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER, SON McNULTY THAT SUPPORTS THE MITIGATION MEASURES IN PLACE. AND WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. WE HAVE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER HERE. JUST IF YOU HAVE A TRAFFIC PERSON, COULD HE COME FORWARD FOR JUST A SECOND. YEAH, SURE. GOOD EVENING, MICHAEL YATES WITH TROMPRASK, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN. -- PALM TRAFFIC, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN. THANK YOU. AND THE ROAD THEY ARE GOING TO CONNECT TO IS WILLIAMS ROAD? WILLIAMS ROAD, YES.

WHAT'S THE FUNCTIONAL CLASS OF THAT ROAD, OR? IT IS A COLLECTOR ROADWAY. COLLECTOR? AND WE DID DO A FULL ANALYSIS AND WERE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE DRIVEWAY WOULD OPERATE AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE WITH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WE ARE ALSO ADDING A SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TURN LANE THAT YOU WILL SEE REFLECTED IN THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. AND THE PRIMARY MOVEMENT OF TRIPS FROM THIS SITE TO -- WILL BE SOUTHBOUND. YEAH, THEY WILL BE COMING FROM 301 SOUTH TO THE SITE AND GOING BACK TO -- SO THE MAIN ATTRACTOR IS 301? YES.

ROUGHLY WHAT'S THE SPLIT, IF YOU RECALL. I THINK IT WAS LIKE 90/10. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? WE GOOD? NO. MR. CREMER, WE GOOD? DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF?

GOOD EVENING, JARED FOLLIN WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE AGRICULTURAL-RURAL TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW 80,000 SQUARE FEET OF WAREHOUSING, DISTRIBUTION AND LIGHT ANUFACTURING, AS WELL AS ACCESSORY OPEN STORAGE. THE REQUEST INCLUDES VARIATIONS TO THE BUFFER AND SCREENING STANDARDS OF THE LDC WHICH ASK FOR A REDUCTION OF BUFFER YARD WIDTHS AND ADDITIONAL SCREENING. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN AN AREA BETWEEN NONRESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY USES AND ADJACENT TO SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE SOTHWEST, EAST, AND SOUTH. THE PROPERTY IS ALSO ADJACENT TO NONRESIDENTIAL USES TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST, WHICH ARE ZONED CG AND PD. THIS PD WAS RECENTLY MODIFIED IN 2019 TO ALLOW WAREHOUSING, HOTEL, AND BANQUET HALL. TO MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO THE NEARBY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED A NUMBER OF RESTRICTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT. THIS INCLUDES LARGER MINIMUM SETBACKS, ADDITIONAL AND ENHANCED SCREENING, RESTRICTING THE OPEN STORAGE TO BE WITHIN 6E BUILDING, AND RESTRICTING TRUCK TRAFFIC ACTIVITY INCLUDING LOADING AND UNLOADING OF TRUCKS, TO BE LIMITED TO 7:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M. DAILY. TWO VARIATION REQUESTS -- TWO VARIATIONS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT PERTAIN TO TWO BUFFER YARD LOCATIONS ALONG THE ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTY TO THE SOUTHWEST, AND ONE OF THE ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES TO THE EAST. THIS VARIATION REQUESTS REDUCING THE BUFFER YARD WIDTH FROM 30 FEET TO 15 FEET. HOWEVER, TO SUPPLEMENT THIS REDUCTION, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE MASONRY WALL TO EIGHT FEET TALL AND INCREASE EVERGREEN PLANTS TO 15 FEET AT THE TIME OF PLANTING. THE OTHER VARIATION PERTAINS TO ADDING ADDITIONAL SCREENING ALONG RIPLEY ROAD FRONTAGE WHICH WE REQUESTED TO SCREEN FROM THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE RIPLEY. THE PROPOSED RESTRICTIONS AND SCREENING ENHANCEMENTS OF THE REDUCED BUFFER AREAS HAS ADDRESSED OUR CONCERNS OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO THE

SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL AREA AND WE FIND IT TO BE PROMP SCREENED. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FINDS THE APPLICATION SUPPORTABLE AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. PLANNING CO COMMISSION STAFF.

THANK YOU. TYREK ROYAL, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT -- HCC CPA 25-25 WHICH WAS FOUND CONSISTENT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 13th, 2025, WILL MOVE FORWARD TO ADOPTION ON MAY 14th OF THIS YEAR WHICH IS LAND USE DESIGNATION OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PLANNED TO ALLOW FOR 80,000 SCWAWR FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTWAREHOUSES. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL USES WITH ADDITIONAL NEARBY AGRICULTURAL, VACANT, AND SCATTERED COMMERCIAL AND -- PROPERTIES PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL CONTEXT WITH -- WHILE THE PROPOSED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PLAN ALLOWS FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES WITHIN THE PROJECT'S PROPOSED INTENSITIES, AND IT'S WITHIN ALLOWABLE LIMITS, STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST IS NOT ADEQUATELY MEET COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS UNDER FLU OBJECTIVE 3.1.1 AND 3.1.3. THIS SURROUNDING AREA IS RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE AND THE SUBJECT SITE IS MOSTLY EMBEDDED WITHIN RESIDENTIAL FABRIC COMPARED TO NI NEARBY INDUSTRIAL USES WHICH ARE BUFFERED BY MAJOR ROADWAYS AND COMMERCIAL TRANSITIONS. INTRODOWKS OF AN DESC -- INTRODA INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE -- THE CONCERN IS THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR BUFFER REDUCTION AT A CRITICAL LOCATION INCLUDING IRECTLYADSJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES -- ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES ENHANCED CREENING, FENCING, AND OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS SUCH AS LIMITED TRUCK HOURS, STAFF FINDS THESE MEASURES INSUFFICIENT TO OFFSET THE REDUCED BUFFERING AND MITIGATE POTENTIAL NOISE, VISUAL, AND OPERATIONAL IMPACTS. AS A RESULT, THE PROJECT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE GRADUAL TRANSITION AND INTENSITY -- BY 3.1.3 AND 3.1.4. ADDITIONALLY THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE INTENT OF THE THONOTOSASSA COMMUNITY PLAN WHICH EMPHASIZES NEW COMMERCIAL AND -- SHOULD BE APPROPRIATE SCALED AND COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING COMMUNITY CHARACTERISM WHILE THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

OBJECTIVES UNDER FLU OBJECTIVE 7.1, COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING RESIDENTIAL USES REMAIN THE OVERRIDING CONCERN. OVERALL, STAFF FINDS THAT THE PROPOSED USE IS GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE LIP FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY IN TERMS OF ALLOWABLE USES AND INTENSITY, BUT IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND DOES NOT MEET COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES RELATED TO NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION AND TRANSITION. THEREFORE, STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU.

HEARING MASTER: YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RODNEY SMITH. I LIVE AT 10016 OHIO AVENUE IN THONOTOSASSA. EVERYTHING THEY ARE DOING ON THIS OR AT LEAST PLAN WOULD BUFFER IT, BUFFERING AND WALLS AND EVERYTHING IS HIDING WHAT IS IN THERE. YOU HAVE ALREADY -- THE ZONING BOARD HAS ALREADY ALLOWED RIGHT TO THE WEST OF THIS A TRUCK CENTER. THEY ARE PUTTING TRUCKS AT ZERO LOT LINE AND EVEN CROSSING THE LOT LINE. AND IT'S RUNNING 24 HOURS A DAY. THERE'S TRUCKS PULLING IN THERE. THERE'S WELDING. THERE'S HAMMERING. THE NOISE IS HORRIBLE FROM THAT. THIS PLACE IS LIMITING THE NOISE, IS PUTTING BUFFERS FOR SETBACKS AND IS GOING TO ENHANCE THE AREA VERSUS WHAT THIS BOARD HAS ALREADY ALLOWED TO DO. SO WHEN YOU SAY IT'S NOT CONSISTENT, IT'S REALLY MORE CONSISTENT IN A BETTER PLAN THAN WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ALLOWED. YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE ALLOWED THAT TRUCK CENTER TO BE PUT THERE. THEY ARE PUSHING TRUCKS INTO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, BACKING THEM UP. IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND LOOK AT PICTURES, THEY ALREADY HAVE SOME PICTURES UP HERE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. IT LOOKS LIKE A DUMP NOW. IT USED TO BE FARM. THAT WAS AGRICULTURE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ORIGINALLY OWNED IT HAD HORSES. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A DUMP. LOOKS LIKE A JUNKYARD WITH SEMI TRUCKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY COMING IN THERE 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

HEARING MASTER: YEAH. SO THIS HERE IS ENHANCING IT BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE WITH THE WALL, WITH THE PLANNING, PUTTING PLANTS UP AND HEDGES AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO HIDE WHAT'S THERE AND LIMITING THE NOISE. WHERE OTHER PLACES RIGHT ADJACENT HAS NOT DONE THAT. SO YOU NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING. I AM FOR THIS BEFORE THAT TRUCK CENTER EXPANDS INTO ANOTHER JUNKYARD INTO THE SAME AREA. THANK YOU.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT PLEASE. RAY FOSTER, 10724 WILLIAMS ROAD THONOTOSASSA. I'M ALSO FOR THIS. HEARING MASTER: OKAY.

I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THAT AREA ESPECIALLY THE ONE KIND OF SURROUNDED BY THE PLAN, JAMES -- THEY ARE AN ELDERLY COUPLE AND DIDN'T WANT TO COME TONIGHT OR SIGN ANYTHING BECAUSE MS. JAMES DON'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT. MAN, IT'S LIKE PULLING TEETH WITH THAT WOMAN. GREAT PEOPLE. AND IF THEY WERE NOT IN SUPPORT IT, I WOULD NOT BE UP HERE SUPPORTING IT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT FOR SURE BECAUSE I HAVE KNOWN THESE PEOPLE FOR 35 YEARS AND THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY TO ME. BUT THEY SUPPORT THIS. THEY ARE ALL FOR IT. I'M ALL FOR IT. WE ARE TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE TRASH LAYING AROUND THE FIELD. JUST THE OTHER DAY SOMEBODY THREW OUT SOME MORE TABLES AND TRASH INTO THE FIELD. AND IT'S PRETTY BIG EYESORE FOR US, FOR THE COMMUNITY. HAVING AN LI-P THERE BRINGS ACTUALLY -- IT CLEANS UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD A LITTLE BIT, MAKES IT LOOK NICE, PRESENTABLE. AND IT ALSO GIVES A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DO WALK AROUND OR DON'T HAVE -- THAT DON'T DRIVE FOR WHATEVER REASON -- I'M NOT GOING TO JUDGE THEM. THAT POTENTIALLY HAVE A PLACE TO WALK TOWARD SO I'M FOR IT.

HEARING MASTER: ALL RIGHT. AND I THINK THEY HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THE PROPOSAL. HEARING MASTER: ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. YES, SIR. HEARING MASTER: ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION? I SEE NO ONE RESPONDING. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION? I SEE NO ONE RESPONDING. STAFF, ANYTHING FURTHER? NO, SIR. HEARING MASTER: OKAY. APPLICANT, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL.

YES, SIR, JUST A MOMENT. JAKE CREMER. THE CLERK'S OFFICE TOLD ME I DIDN'T GIVE THE ADDRESS. 2002 WEST CLEVELAND STREET NUMBER 203. AND, YOU KNOW, I WOULD JUST SUGGEST THAT IN THIS CASE, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS REALLY BETTER SUITED FOR THE COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS AND JUST FIGURING OUT THE MITIGATION MEASURES. IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DEFENSE, THEY ARE IN KIND OF A WEIRD POSITION WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO INTERPRET THE CODE WHICH ISN'T IN THEIR PURVIEW. I THINK THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH UNDERSTANDING WHETHER MITIGATION MEASURES ARE ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THAT REDUCTION. BUT IN THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES WE TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AND WHETHER IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BETTER OFF. I THINK THE TESTIMONY YOU HEARD HERE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE NEIGHBORHOOD BELIEVES IT REALLY WILL. AND THAT WAS THE SAME MESSAGE WE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR IN THE COMMUNITY MEETING WE HAD. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST CASES I HAVE HAD WHERE MY CLIENT ACTUALLY WENT AND KNOCKED ON DOORS, LITERALLY KNOCKED ON DOORS IN NEIGHBORHOODS, SAT IN PEOPLE'S KITCHENS, TALKED TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE LONG-TERM NEIGHBORS. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. HEARING MASTER: WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES THIS APPLICATION. AND MS. HEINRICH, THERE IS ONE MORE. MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK. FOR D-7. HEARING MASTER: I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A SEPARATE ROOM ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTY CENTER. SO WE HAVE ONE ITEM, PROBABLY TAKE -- I GUESS IT'S NEXT, RIGHT? IT'S NEXT? IT IS NEXT ON THE AGENDA. SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED PEOPLE TO COME UP IF THEY PLAN TO SPEAK. HEARING MASTER: YEAH. LET'S GIVE IT FIVE MINUTES. SURE.

HEARING MASTER: PEOPLE CAN COME UPSTAIRS IF THEY ARE DOWNSTAIRS. AND SO RIGHT NOW, IT'S 7:37. LET'S GIVE IT EIGHT MINUTES. 7:45. SURE. HEARING MASTER: WE'LL RECONVENE AT 7:45 FOR THE NEXT ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

THANKS.

[BREAK]

PLEASE STAND BY.

HEARING MASTER: ZONING HEARING MASTER HEARING. THE NEXT ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, MS. HEINRICH, IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE IT. SURE. OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM D-7, PD REZONING 26-0213. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM AR TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. TIM LAMPKIN WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS REVIEWED THIS AND WILL PROVIDE STAFF FINDINGS AFTER THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. HEARING MASTER: AND THE APPLICANT PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. HEARING OFFICER. MICHAEL BROOKS, 400 NORTH TAMPA STREET, SUITE 1910, 33602. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT WHICH IS THE YARD, THE TRADE NAME. I WANT TO INTRODUCE QUICKLY MY DEVELOPMENT TEAM WHICH I THINK MOST EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS. MY PARTNER REBECCA KURT, OF COURSE, ON THE LAND USE I'D, ISABELLE ALBERT IS OUR CASE PLANNER. MICHAEL YATES IS HERE AS OUR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER. AND TODD AMMAN IS HERE AS THE PROJECT ENGINEER. I'M GOING TO GIVE A BRIEF ROADMAP, I'LL CALL IT, FOR LOOK OF A BETTER TERM WHERE WE'RE GOING AND HAND IT OVER TO MS. ALBERT. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY -- I'M NOT GOING TO GO TOO FAR INTO THIS. IS DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE. IT'S ABOUT 10 ACRES IN SIZE. YOU CAN SEE HERE THE URBAN SERVICE LINE RUNS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF BOYETTE ROAD. AND YOU CAN SEE CHANNING PARK TO THE SOUTH, THE SHOCK RANCH TO THE WEST, FISHHAWK RANCH TO THE NORTH, FISHHAWK TRAILS, ETC. THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSES TO ADD TO THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WHAT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE CODE AS A RECREATIONAL USE SLASH GENERAL INDOOR OUTDOOR. AND THAT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY WHICH MS. ALBERT WILL DESCRIBE IN GREATER DETAIL. I WANT TO POINT OUT JUST A FEW THINGS BEFORE I BRING MS. ALBERT UP, REALLY RELATED TO THE UNIQUE NATURE OF BOTH THE USE AND THE PROPERTY. AS TO THE USE, IT IS FAIRLY UNIQUE. AND I CAN'T THINK OF AN EXAMPLE

LIKE THIS IN THAT IT IS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF USES. IT COVERS EVERYTHING FROM AN ORANGE THEORY OR A BOWLING ALLEY, THINGS THAT WE WOULD THINK OF AS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES INSIDE A STRUCTURE TO, IN THIS CASE, LAND INTENSIVE FAIRLY OPEN SPACE INTENSIVE USES THAT FUNCTION FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES MUCH LIKE A PARK OR A RECREATIONAL AREA WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SECOND THING ABOUT THE PROPERTY OR THE SECOND UNIQUENESS WITH REGARD TO THE PROPERTY -- AND I HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. I HAVE FROZEN. IS THAT THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN A NARROW BAND THAT RUNS NORTH-SOUTH OF RES-2. THIS RES-2 AREA IS BOUND, AS YOU CAN SEE, BY THE URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY ON THE EAST AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE RP-2 WHERE THE SUBURBAN VILLAGES OF FISHHAWK AND CHANNING PARK HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. AND SO IT IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT IS EFFECTIVELY A TRANSITIONAL TYPE USE BECAUSE IT MOVES TO RES-1 AND THEN IT MOVES TO AR. AND AGAIN, THESE ARE LAND USE CATEGORIES, OF COURSE, MR. LEWIS. WITHIN THIS CORRIDOR THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED FOR YOU, THERE ARE REMNANT AGRICULTURAL REZONINGS. MUCH OF THAT LAND -- AND WE HAVE OUTLINED WITH THAT DOTTED OR THAT DASHED -- RED BLACK DASHED AREA IS PART OF THE TECO CORRIDOR SO THAT WILL REMAIN AR.

AND SO WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS AGAIN SOME REMNANT AR THAT IS INSIDE THE URBAN SERVICE AREA, OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC AND TRADITIONAL FISHHAWK DEVELOPMENT CHANNING PARK DEVELOPMENT. AND FOR THAT REASON, WE THINK -- WE LOOKED AT THIS, THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM LOOKED AT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROPOSE A TRANSITIONAL TYPE USE. AND SO YOU'LL HEAR THAT QUITE A BIT FROM US TONIGHT. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD APPLICATION. NOW, WITH SAYING THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR SOME CONFLICTING INTERPRETATIONS, OF COURSE. THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS IN THIS ROOM THIS EVENING, SOME FOR AND SOME AGAINST. SOME OF THAT TESTIMONY IS GOING TO INVOLVE FUNDAMENTAL MASTER'S TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE THINGS LIKE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL SERVICE AREAS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AR? AND WHAT KIND OF THINGS CAN YOU DO IN AR THAT MIGHT BE SURPRISING TO SOME FOLKS. AND SO ALONG THOSE LINES OF TRANSITIONAL USE, WHAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED, WE BELIEVE, VERY SIGNIFICANT AND STRONG DESIGN TECHNIQUES AN CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. EXTENSIVE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WHICH ARE PART OF THE RECORD WHICH WILL MITIGATE THE IMPACTS ON THE ADJACENT AREAS AND WOULD PROVIDE A GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE USE OF THIS PIECE OF LAND RELATIVE TO ITS RES-2 LAND USE CATEGORY. WE'RE NOT HERE ASKING FOR A 20 UNIT SUBDIVISION. WE'RE NOT ASKING -- IN FACT, IF I GO BACK, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU CAN SEE IS THAT VERY RECENTLY THE BOARD HAS APPROVED TWO RES-4 LAND USE CATEGORIES WITHIN THIS AREA.

MOST RECENTLY, JUST ABOUT LESS THAN 24 MONTHS AGO DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND SLIGHTLY BEFORE THAT JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TECO CORRIDOR ANOTHER PARCEL. SO WE'RE NOT HERE ASKING FOR THAT. WE HAVE READ ALL OF THE LETTERS IN THE BACKUP. AND THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL LETTERS. WE'RE GOING TO ENTER ABOUT -- I'M TOLD THIS IS ABOUT 175 LETTERS OF SUPPORT. THOSE WILL GO INTO THE RECORD TODAY. SO THOSE COMPETING TOGETHER. BUT THE CRUX OF THE OPPOSITION LETTERS, AS WE READ THEM, IS PRESERVE ALL AR ZONING. AND THERE'S NO DISTINCTIONS MADE BETWEEN UNDERLYING LAND USES, NO DISTINCTIONS MADE BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL SERVICE AREAS. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO THIS EVENING. AND SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO -- LASTLY I WANT TO SAY YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THIS EVENING UNDOUBTEDLY THAT THERE WAS WORK THAT HAPPENED ON SITE. AND THERE HAVE BEEN ACTIVITIES ON SITE, SOME OF WHICH DID NOT OCCUR PRIOR TO APPLICABLE APPROVALS AND PERMITS. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THOSE ARE NOT RELEVANT LAND USE ISSUES TO THE ZONING. THE PURPOSE OF THE ZONING PROCESS IS NEITHER TO PRIVILEGE NOR TO PUNISH AN APPLICANT. AND SO WE HOPE THAT WE WON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT CONVERSATION IN HERE TONIGHT. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO HAND OVER TO MS. ALBERT.

THANK YOU. ISABELLE ALBERT FOR THE RECORD, 1000 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. I'M A CERTIFIED PLANNER. THIS SITE IS REALLY A TRANSITIONAL USE. MOST OF THE AREA INSIDE THE URBAN SERVICE AREA IS DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL PLATTED RESIDENTIAL MOD UP TO THE WEST SIDE LINE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, THE OPEN SPACE THAT YOU SEE IS ACTUALLY NATURAL FEATURES THAT ARE THERE, BUT THIS POCKET, WE'RE ABOUT 15 LOTS THERE THAT ARE KIND OF STUCK BETWEEN THE RURAL SERVICE AREA ON ONE SIDE AND THE TECO ON THE OTHER. THEY ARE JUST KIND OF CUT OFF. THAT'S WHY WE SEE THIS AS A TRANSITIONAL USE. IF YOU GO CLOSER TO THE SITE, YOU SEE THAT JUST TO THE SOUTH OF US, THERE IS A HORSE TRAINING FACILITY. AND TO THE NORTH OF US THERE'S A DOG TRAINING FACILITY. AND THESE USES ARE PERMITTED IN THE AGRICULTURAL RURAL ZONING DISTRICT. THESE ARE ALL USES THAT SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY MORE INTENSIVE THAN WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WITH OUR RECREATION USE. SO AS YOU HEARD, WE ARE PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO RETAIN THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ON SITE. WE HAVE TWO INDOOR FACILITIES LOCATED TO THE SOUTH WHICH ARE IN BLUE. AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER TWO-SIDED FACILITY JUST TO THE NORTH OF THOSE STRUCTURES. AND THREE PRACTICE FIELDS. YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY IS MAINTAINED AS OPEN SPACE AS WHAT IT IS CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WITH NO ACTIVITIES THERE. YOU ALSO HEARD THAT WE ARE PROVIDING RESTRICTED USES, RESTRICTING TO THE RECREATION USE AND SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS. WE ALSO LIMIT THE GROSS PEAK HOUR TRIPS. AND WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT THE STRUCTURES, THOSE ENCLOSED STRUCTURES WILL HAVE NO ACCESS, PEDESTRIAN ACCESS OR DOORS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THESE STRUCTURES.

AND IT TAKES YOU INTO THE OPERATION LIMITS. THE LIMITATIONS, WE AGAIN HAVE A LONGER LIST OF CONDITIONS THAT'S IN THE RECORD. BUT WE WERE FOCUSING ON HOW TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON SITE WHICH IS BY NO COMPETITIVE GAINS. WE HAVE OUR RESTRICTED HOURS OF OPERATION. THE OUTDOOR USE OF LOUD SPEAKERS AND WHISTLES AND EVERYTHING AND SIMILAR DEVICES HAVE BEEN PROHIBITED. WE ALSO ARE INSTALLING AUTOMATIC CUTOFF SWITCH FOR THE LIGHTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHTS DOES NOT SPILL OVER THE PROPERTIES, ADJACENT PROPERTIES. AND THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN WHAT'S FOUND IN THE CODE. BUT WE ALSO HAD TO THINK ABOUT COMPATIBILITY WITH THE BOYETTE ROAD. AND WHAT WE HAVE, AS I STATED, IS TO KEEP THAT 1.7 ACRES UP FRONT AS OPEN AS IT IS. AND THIS VIEW IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE. THAT'S THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ON THE PROPERTY. AND WITH OUR PROPERTY THERE. AND BY THAT, WE'RE PROVIDING FENCING THAT ARE RURAL NATURE SIMILAR TO THE HORSE TRAINING FACILITY NEXT TO US AND ADDING VEGETATION SCREENING. NOW, THIS COMES TO THE COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA. OUR USE IS CONSIDERED A COMMERCIAL USE. AND TO MEET THE COMMERCIAL LOCATION CRITERIA YOU HAVE TO BE WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF A QUALIFYING INTERSECTION. THE KOALA INTERSECTION IS DORMANT AND BOYETTE OVER HERE. 75% HAS TO BE WITHIN THAT 1,000 FEET. NOW, BY DOING THAT, YOU'LL SEE HERE THAT THE RED PORTION IS WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF THE QUALIFYING INTERSECTION OF DORMAN AND BOYETTE. AND THAT'S WHERE WE ESTABLISHED THOSE INDOOR USES. AND WE HAVE ALSO LOCATED THE

FIELDS IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAINTAIN THAT 1.7 ACRES OF NATURAL VEGETATION UP FRONT. SO THIS KIND OF MEETS THE INTENT OF THE COMMERCIAL LOCATION CRITERIA OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE ALTHOUGH IT'S CLASSIFIED OR IT'S PERMITTED IN COMMERCIAL USES, UNLIKE TYPICAL COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE FOUND IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 202.02 WITH THE ALLOWABLE USES, THEY HAVE THEM BY CATEGORIES. YOU HAVE THE HIGH INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL CATEGORY AND YOU WILL SEE IN THERE ALL THE DIFFERENT USES. AND YOU ALSO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE OFFICE AND MEDICAL OFFICE USES CATEGORY. BUT OUR USE IS ACTUALLY UNDER THE REGIONAL -- THE OUTDOOR PASSIVE AND RECREATIONAL USE. OUR USE REALLY FUNCTIONS MORE LIKE A PARK, A PUBLIC PARK THAT HAS THESE TRAINING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. YOU CAN SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, PARKS ARE ALLOWED IN EVERY ZONING DISTRICT. AND THE COUNTY HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED THAT THESE PRACTICE FIELDS, THESE PARKS ARE COMPATIBLE NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL. I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH A QUICK THREE EXAMPLES OF HOW AND WHERE YOU SEE THEM ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. NOW, THIS BRINGS US TO THE SOUTHSHORE COMMUNITY PLAN. PLANNING COMMISSION STATED THAT THE COMMUNITY PLAN POLICIES IS FRAMEWORKED AROUND TO RECOGNIZE THE LARGELY RURAL AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT EXISTS IN THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE SOUTHSHORE AREA. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS NOT. SOUTHSHORE COMMUNITY PLAN IS APPROXIMATELY 245,000 ACRES. IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT IT'S IN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA, RURAL AREA AND THAT THE SOUTHSHORE DMUCOMMUNITY PLAN IS NOT SET UPO ONLY RECOGNIZE THE LOW DENSITY. IT IS ALSO SET UP TO RECOGNIZE SITES IN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA. AND JUST TO SHOW THAT UNDER THE

SAME SOUTHSHORE COMMUNITY PLAN THEY TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE FIRST OBJECTIVE IS RECOGNIZING WHAT'S IN THE URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY AND THAT THE VIABLE USE OF THE LAND SHOULD BE THE PROPERTY OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY AND DETERMINED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. AND THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED. SO THIS BRINGS ME TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TRANSPORTATION COMMENTS FROM MR. YATES. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MICHAEL YATES WITH PALM TRAFFIC AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN. JUST WANTED TO GO BRIEFLY OVER THE TRANSPORTATION WITH YOU REAL QUICK. AS PART OF THE APPROVAL, WE DID DO A DESIGN EXCEPTION THAT WILL PROVIDE A 5-FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF BOYETTE ROAD. THAT WOULD ENCOMPASS OUR PROJECT FRONTAGE AS WELL AS CONTINUING SOUTH TO DORMAN ROAD. THERE ARE TWO CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE FROM DORMAN ROAD SOUTH TO BROWNING. ONE IS A TIER 1 PROGRAM WHICH IS SOME SIGNAGE AND PAVEMENT MARKING MODIFICATIONS AND THEN THERE IS A TIER 2 PROJECT WHICH WILL INCLUDE SOME PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENTS THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING ASPECTS RIGHT NOW. THERE IS ALSO A MODIFICATION TO THE EXISTING BRIDGE THERE THAT WILL PROVIDE AN IMPROVEMENT. AGAIN, AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, WE ARE DOING THE TRIP COUNT WHICH IS GOING TO LIMIT IT TO A RELATIVELY MINOR NUMBER OF TRIPS. AND THEN ALSO, BOYETTE ROAD FROM THE STAFF REPORT IS OPERATING AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE "C" TODAY WITH A LEVEL OF SERVICE "D" STANDARD. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MICHAEL BROOKS TO FINISH UP.

YEAH. UNLESS YOU HAD A QUESTION. HEARING MASTER: YEAH, HOW DO YOU GO TO THE I.T. MANUAL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS CLASSIFIED THIS USE AS?

IT WAS A RECREATIONAL FACILITY. BUT WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL USES THAT COULD OCCUR THERE AND DEVELOPED A TRIP GENERATION FOR EACH OF THOSE USES. AND SO WE DID A TRIP GENERATION LETTER, BUT THAT'S HOW WE DID IT. WE BROKE IT OUT INTO THE INDIVIDUAL USES. LIKE YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A SOCCER PRACTICE FACILITY. AND SO WE USE THE SOCCER FIELD THERE. SO PROBABLY A LITTLE HIGHER TRIP GENERATION THAN WHAT WILL ACTUALLY OCCUR, BUT IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT WE COULD COME UP WITH. WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING WITH STAFF TO WORK THROUGH THAT BECAUSE WE HAD THE EXACT SAME WHEN WE STARTED THIS. HOW DO YOU CALCULATE TRIP GENERATION FOR THIS?

HEARING MASTER: AND IS IT SPECIFIC TO CERTAIN SPORTS? YEAH. THAT'S WHAT WE DID. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT SPORTS WE'RE GOING TO PLAN TO OCCUR ON THE SITE, THAT'S HOW WE DID THE TRIP GENERATION. AND AGAIN, TO BACK THAT UP, WE'RE WILLING TO COMMIT TO THE TRIP COUNT BASED ON THOSE CALCULATIONS. HEARING MASTER: SO THE IDEA IS GENERALLY IT'S SOCCER? SOCCER AND PRIMARILY BASEBALL. HEARING MASTER: BASEBALL. PRACTICE. SO AGAIN, THERE'S CONDITIONS IN THERE THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE NO GAMES THERE. IT'S JUST A PRACTICE FACILITY. HEARING MASTER: AND IS THERE A NEED TO LOOK AT OTHER PARKS NEARBY TO COUNT CARS? OR YOU JUST --

WE DDN'T. IT'S SUCH A UNIQUE USE. AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL SPORTS FACILITY. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE COMING THERE TO PLAY GAMES. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THESE BIG RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, YOU KNOW. THERE'S A BIG ONE IN FISHHAWK OUT THERE TODAY THAT HAS IMMENSE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS SPECIFIC TO PRACTICE FACILITIES. AND YOU'LL HEAR FROM SOME OF THE PEOPLE COMING IN SUPPORT. IT'S JUST PARTICULARLY FOR THAT APPLICATION. THAT'S WHY WE WERE ABLE TO COMMIT TO THE TRIP GENERATION THAT WE ARE. HEARING MASTER: OKAY, THANK YOU.

MR. LEWIS, IF I COULD FOLLOW UP ON JUST YOUR QUESTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE, THE ATTORNEY'S PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS I BELIEVE ONLY THE THIRD CASE SINCE 2019 WHERE THIS TYPE OF USE HAS COME BEFORE THE COUNTY, THE FIRST ONE IN 20 2019 WAS A VOLLEYBALL FACILITY. THERE WAS A SOCCER FIELDS IN 2022. AND SO THIS DOESN'T COME UP A LOT. AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER RUN ACROSS THIS ITSELF. AND I CERTAINLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE IN THE UNIQUENESS OF IT.

HEARING MASTER: FROM YOUR CLIENT'S PERSPECTIVE, WHO IS THE CLIENTELE? WHAT'S THE BUSINESS PLAN? STUDENT ATHLETES. HEARING MASTER: OKAY.

HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL, SOCCER PLAYERS, SOFTBALL PLAYERS, BASEBALL PLAYERS. MICHAEL DID NOT MENTION ON THE BUILDING THERE MAY VERY WELL BE BASKETBALL TRAINING GOING ON. SO THESE ARE NOT -- THIS IS NOT PEOPLE CAN JUST SHOW UP. THAT- THESE ARE SCHEDULED TRAINING EVENTS, SUPERVISED TRAINING FOR KIDS WHO WANT TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND GET BETTER AT SPORTS. THEY ARE NOT JUST OUT THERE KICKING A BALL AROUND KIND OF TO BURN OFF ENERGY.

HEARING MASTER: SO YOU HAVE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE YARD TO GO THERE? I CAN FIND OUT. I CAN ASK THE -- I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A MOMENT, I'LL COME BACK UP. HEARING MASTER: THAT'S FINE. I'M TRYING TO GET A GENERAL SENSE. LIKE THE YMCA, RATHER THAN A PARK, RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE Y AND YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER. GO TO THE COUNTY PARK, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A MEMBER.

I THINK THE MEMBER IS PROBABLY AN OVERSTATEMENT. BUT YOU CANNOT JUST WALK UP. YOU HAVE TO BE PART OF A TRAINER, RIGHT. A LOT OF THE TRAINERS WHO WE ANTICIPATE AND SOME OF WHOM YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM TONIGHT ARE COACHES OF TEAMS IN THE AREA. SO I THINK THEY CAN PROVIDE GOOD FLAVOR ON THE STUDENTS. HEARING MASTER: IN TERMS OF THE STAFF, GIVE ME A FEEL FOR THE SCALE OF THE BUSINESS. HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO THEY HAVE? HOW MANY COACHES, TRAINERS?

SO THERE WILL BE -- THE RESIDENCE WILL REMAIN. AND IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ONE OF THE COACHES FROM ONE OF THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS WILL LIVE THERE AS, YOU KNOW, CLOSEST THING I COULD THINK OF IS LIKE A PARSONAGE TYPE, YOU KNOW. BUT IT IS A FULL RESIDENCE, THE EXISTING HOME. BUT OTHER COACHES IN THE AREA WILL BE ABLE TO SECURE SPOTS TO BRING THEIR STUDENTS, THEIR PLAYERS -- I HAVE TO USE THE RIGHT WORDS HERE. BRING THEIR PLAYERS THERE TO DO SPECIALIZED TRAINING THAT THEY ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES FINDING PLACES TO DO THAT.

HEARING MASTER: OKAY. THAT DIDN'T REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION. HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DOES HE HAVE? IF I COULD COME BACK UP ON MAYBE REBUTTAL. HEARING MASTER: THAT'S FINE. JUST TRYING TO GET A FEEL FOR THE SCALE OF THE USE AND THE ACTIVITY. YEAH, IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT EMPLOYEES. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF COACHES THAT WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE FACILITY. HEARING MASTER: OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION?

LAST THING, IF I COULD. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE GOING TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT, SOME OF WHOM ARE YOUNG STUDENT ATHLETES WHO ARE HERE ON A SCHOOL NIGHT AND ARE HERE GETTING A CIVICS LESSON. AND I'D LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO STAND, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NORTH GOING TO SPEAK -- HEARING MASTER: SURE. SO THEY CAN BE RECOGNIZED. SO, KIDS. HEARING MASTER: OKAY. LET THE RECORD REFLECT THERE ARE ABOUT 10 STUDENTS STOOD UP.

THAT ANSWERS PART OF YOUR QUESTION. THAT'S THE KID PART. HEARING MASTER: OKAY. MR. BROOKS, DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION? I JUST ASSUMED THAT WAS WELL OVER MY TIME. YES. HEARING MASTER: VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF. AND BY THE WAY, HOW MUCH TIME DID HE TAKE? [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, TIM LAMPKIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. I WILL BE BRIEF BECAUSE THE APPLICANT WENT INTO SUCH DETAIL IN THEIR PRESENTATION. THEY ARE PROPOSING TO GO FROM AR TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROPERTY. IT'S LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BOYETTE. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 750 FEET NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF BOYETTE AND DORMAN AND A MILE SOUTH OF BOYETTE AND LITHIA PINECREST. THEY ARE PROPOSING TO ALLOW 28,750 SQUARE FEET OF ENCLOSED STRUCTURES FOR RECREATIONAL USES. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE PROPOSING OUTDOOR TRAINING PRACTICE FACILITIES WHICH THE APPLICANT PROPOSES CONDITIONS THAT THEY SUBMITTED INTO THE RECORD LIMITING THE SIZE OF PRACTICE FIELDS, ACCESSORY FEATURES INCLUDE STORAGE BUILDINGS AND PARKING AREA AND AS THE APPLICANT STATED, THEY PROPOSE TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND CONDITION IT TO NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE PLOTTED AS A SEPARATE LOT. THE SUBJECT SITE IS MAINLY SURROUNDED BY LARGER LOTS, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES, AN EQUESTRIAN FACILITY WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME TO THE NORTH AND 100-FOOT TECO EASEMENT LOCATED TO THE WEST THAT'S OWNED BY TECO. PURSUANT TO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, THEY DID AGAIN -- IN THE RECORD PROPOSE A NUMBER OF RESTRICTIONS TO CREATE MORE COMPATIBILITY WITH ACKNOWLEDGING SOME SENSITIVITY TO THE SURROUNDING AREA WHICH THEY WENT OVER. FOR EXAMPLE, PROHIBITING THE USE OF AMPLIFIED SOUND, PROHIBITING CONCESSION STANDS. REGARDING OUTDOOR LIGHTING AND HOURS OF OPERATION. THE APPLICANT HAS NOT REQUESTED

ANY VARIATION FROM THE GENERAL PLAN, HOWEVER, THEY DID REQUEST A VARIATION TO THE BUFFERING AND LANDSCAPING ON THE NORTH AD SOUTH SIDES THAT WOULD BE TWO SEPARATE VARIATIONS. AND THEY DID GO OVER THAT. WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING IS FOR IT TO BE BACK FROM THE STREET AND THEY ARE PROPOSING A 4-FOOT HIGH SEMI-RURAL STYLE FENCE CONSTRUCTED OF EITHER A SPLIT RAIL THREE BOARD OR FOUR BOARD, HORSE WIRE WITH SINGLE BOARD OR OTHER NATURAL WOOD MATERIALS. HOWEVER, OVERALL, ZONING STAFF ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT MITIGATION MEASURES TO PROTECT ADJACENT PROPERTIES LOCATED TO THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH AND NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. IN PARTICULAR, HOWEVER, THE POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE FOR THE PROPOSED USE MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO CREATE A SUBSTANTIAL TRADITION OF USES AND BUFFERING AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS. OVERALL STAFF DOES NOT FIND IT SUPPORTABLE AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

HEARING MASTER: NO QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.

THANK YOU. TYREK ROYAL, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY SEMI-RURAL RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER, SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON LARGER LOTS AND SCATTERED AGRICULTURAL AND LOW INTENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES. WHILE THE SITE IS IN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA, DEVELOPMENT MUST STILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES REQUIRING COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UNDER F.L.U. OBJECTIVE 3.1 AND 3.1.3. IN THIS CASE, THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT SITE. THE PROPOSED RECREATIONAL FACILITY WILL INTRODUCE A MORE INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL-LIKE USE WITH EXTENDED OPERATING HOURS, LIGHTING AND INCREASED TRAFFIC ACTIVITY. AS A RESULT, STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT DEMONSTRATE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL CONTEXT AND IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS. ALTHOUGH F.L.U. OBJECTIVE 2.2 ALLOWS CONSIDERATION OF RANGES OF USES WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 2 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, INCLUDING LIMITED NON-RESIDENTIAL MULTIPURPOSE USES, THE PROPOSED SCALE AND OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECREATIONAL FACILITY EXCEED WHAT IS TYPICALLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE SEMI-RURAL RESIDENTIAL SETTING. THE INTENSITY OF PROPOSED USE INTRODUCES IMPACT RELATED TO NOISE, LIGHTING AND TRAFFIC THAT ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE SURROUNDING LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT. THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT MEET INTENT F.L.U. OBJECTIVE 3.1.2 AND 3.1.4 WHICH REQUIRE GRADUAL INTENSITIES. THE SCALE AND NATURE OF THE USE COMBINED WITH EXTENDED DAILY OPERATING HOURS LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE MITIGATION MEASURES IN ACHIEVING COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. ADDITIONALLY THE SUBJECT SITE DOES NOT MEET COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA UNDER OBJECTIVE 4.7. ALTHOUGH A WAIVER HAS BEEN REQUESTED AND APPLICANT STATES THE USE IS RECREATIONAL IN NATURE, THE PROPOSAL STILL FUNCTION AS A COMMERCIAL TYPE FACILITY SITUATED WITHIN PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL AND

AGRICULTURAL CONTEXT. FURTHER, RAISING COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS. FINALLY THE SOUTHSHORE AREAWIDE SYSTEMS PLAN INDICATES THE LOW RURAL OF THE AREA. THE PROPOSES A LEVEL OF ACTIVITY INCONSISTENT WITH THIS VISION AND DOES NOT ESTABLISH THE COMMUNITY CHARACTER. OVERALL WHILE THE PROPOSED USE MY PROVIDE A COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL FUNCTION IT IS NOT COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND DOES NOT ADEQUATELY TRANSITION FROM EXISTING RESIDENTIAL AND AGRICULTURAL USES. THEREFORE, THE REQUEST IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND APPLICABLE POLICIES. THANK YOU.

HEARING MASTER: I'M GOING TO ASK BOTH YOU AND MICHELLE A QUESTION. MICHELLE, I'LL START WITH YOU. WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THIS APPLICATION AND IF WE START WITH IS IT A PARK AND IF IT WAS A HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PARK, THEY WOULD PROBABLY GO THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS. THERE'S NO ZONING INVOLVED. BUT THEY DO GET COMMUNITY INPUT AND MAKE A DECISION ABOUT DOES THE COMMUNITY WANT THE PARK OR NOT. IT'S A GOOD LOCATION. THEY HAVE GOT THEIR SERVICE AREAS. THEY KNOW WHERE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS SHOULD GO IN GENERAL, WHERE COMMUNITY SCALE PARKS GO, REGIONAL PARKS GO. BUT WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THIS, YOU SAID YOU DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS A PARK AND, THEREFORE, IT'S INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD? I'M TRYING TO GET A FEEL FOR WHERE YOUR PERSPECTIVE WAS ON THE USE THAT WAS REQUESTED.

SURE. MICHELLE HEINRICH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. THIS WOULD BE CLSSIFIED AS A GENERAL INDOOR/OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL USE. AND THOSE COULD INCLUDE FOR-PROFIT AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT BUSINESSES. AND IN THIS CASE, IT IS, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING SERVICES, YOU KNOW, AT A COST SO WE REVIEWED THIS MORE AS A COMMERCIAL TYPE USE. AND THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WERE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE AGRICULTURAL USES CURRENTLY GOING ON IN THE AREA THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY SOME OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE SITE. AND ALSO THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THAT IT WOULD BE ONLY FOR PRACTICES IN CERTAIN SPORTS. AND ALSO, THAT IT DID NOT MEET LOCATILOCATIONAL CRITERIA. FOR THOSE REASONS, EVEN THOUGH WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDED VERY MANY PROPOSED CONDITIONS, ALL IN ALL, WHEN LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE PICTURE, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE DID NOT SUPPORT.

HEARING MASTER: OKAY. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, THE SAME QUESTION. FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHEN YOU MET INTERNAL WITH YOUR STAFF, YOU CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS WAS NOT SUPPORTABLE. GIVE ME A SENSE, A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT'S IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.

YEAH. SO THIS IS MORE OF A COMMERCIAL USE. WHEN WE LOOK AT GRADUAL TRANSITIONS, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE POLICIES SO THE SITE DOESN'T MEET COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA. THEY REQUESTED A WAIVER. WE RECOMMENDED A DENIAL OF THAT WAIVER. ALSO THE MAXIMUM F.A.R., ALTHOUGH LIMITED WITHIN THE F.A.R. MAXIMUM, THAT'S ONLY INCLUDING WHAT'S ENCLOSED, NOT OUTDOOR. SO THERE'S NO WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR F.A.R. OUTDOOR WISE. THE OVERALL PROPOSAL IS JUST, IN OUR PURVIEW, IT'S TOO INTENSE FOR WHAT'S THE RES-2 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY IS INTENDED FOR WHICH IS LOW LOT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, BOTH. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION? YES, SIR, COME FORWARD.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS JUAN MANCO, I RESIDE AT 17403 CHELSEA DOWN CIRCLE. I'M A 24 YEAR MARINE CORPS COMBAT VETERAN, A FATHER OF A STUDENT ATHLETE AT NEWSOME HIGH SCHOOL AND ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CALLED THE VETERAN DEVELOPMENT GROUP WHICH HELPS VETERANS TRANSITION INTO PURPOSEFUL LIVES AFTER MILITARY SERVICE. I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THE REZONING REQUEST THAT WOULD ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE YARD. A YOUTH SPORTS PERFORMANCE AND TRAINING FACILITY. I'D LIKE TO START WITH SOMETHING PERSONAL. I GREW UP AS AN INNER CITY KID IN NEW YORK. FACILITIES LIKE THESE WERE SIMPLY NOT AVAILABLE TO US. WE PLAYED WHEREVER WE COULD, CROWDED COURTS, UNEVEN FIELDS, STREETS OR EVEN PARKING LOTS. I OFTEN THINK ABOUT HOW MANY YOUNG PEOPLE COULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM STRUCTURES, ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY COULD TRAIN, LEARN DISCIPLINE, AND BE SURROUNDED BY POSITIVE MENTORS. SPORTS CHANGED MY LIFE. THEY TAUGHT ME RESILIENCE, TEAMWORK, ACCOUNTABILITY AND PURPOSE. THE SAME VALUES EVENTUALLY CARRIED ME THROUGH A 24-YEAR MARINE CORPS CAREER. DURING MY TIME IN THE MILITARY I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF TRAVELING ACROSS THE WORLD AND EXPERIENCING DIFFERENT CULTURES. ONE THING THAT CONSISTENTLY STOOD OUT IN SOCIETIES WITH STRONG PUBLIC HEALTH AND STRONG COMMUNITIES WAS THEIR INVESTMENT IN YOUTH ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT. WHEN COMMUNITIES INVEST IN YOUTH SPORTS, THEY ARE NOT JUST BUILDING ATHLETES. THEY ARE BUILDING CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE, LEADERSHIP AND HEALTHIER CITIZENS.

FACILITIES LIKE THE YARD MATTER. AS A PARTICIPANT I SEE HOW IMPORTANT THESE ARE FOR MY SON ISAIAH. HE'S A FRESHMAN AT NEWSOME AND ENJOYS BASKETBALL AND SOCCER. LIKE MANY YOUNG ATHLETES IN THIS AREA, HE WANTS TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING HIS SKILLS BEYOND TEAM PRACTICE. BUT OUR COUNTY FACILITIES ARE ALREADY HEAVILY UTILIZED WITH GAMES AND TEAM PRACTICES. INDIVIDUAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT, STRENGTH TRAINING, AGILITY WORK, THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIMITED AND MANY FAMILIES ARE FORCED TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC JUST TO ACCESS TRAINING. HAVING A FACILITY LIKE THE YARD CLOSE TO HOME WOULD CREATE A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN STAY ACTIVE, TRAIN SAFELY, AND CONTINUE DEVELOPING BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. BUT THERE'S ANOTHER REASON THIS PROJECT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME PERSONALLY. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, I'M ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE VETERAN DEVELOPMENT GROUP. THIS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO HELPING VETERANS REDISCOVER PURPOSE AFTER MILITARY SERVICE. ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES MANY VETERANS FAILS AFTER LEAVING THE MILITARY IS FINDING MEANINGFUL WAYS TO CONTINUE SERVING THE COMMUNITIES. FACILITIES LIKE THE YARD CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR VETERANS TO DO EXACTLY THAT. MANY VETERANS LEAVE SERVICE WITH DEEP EXPERIENCES AND PHYSICAL TRAINING, LEADERSHIP, DISCIPLINE AND MENTORSHIP. THOSE ARE THE SAME QUALITIES YOUNG ATHLETES NEED IN THE COACHES AND TRAINERS WHO GUIDE THEM. IMAGINE A PLACE WHERE OUR YOUTH ARE LEARNING DISCIPLINE, CONFIDENCE AND RESILIENCE FOR MEN AND WOMEN WHO SPEND YEARS SERVING THEIR COUNTRY. THIS IS THE KIND OF POSITIVE COMMUNITY ECOSYSTEM THAT PROJECTS LIKE THIS ONE CAN CREATE. MY FAMILY AND I MOVED TO LITHIA AFTER RECEIVING ORDERS FROM OAK OKINAWA JAPAN WHERE WE SPENT EIGHT YEARS RAISING OUR SON.

WE CHOSE THIS AREA BECAUSE IT'S KNOWN FOR BEING A SAFE FAMILY-ORIENTED COMMUNITY THAT INVESTS IN ITS YOUTH. SUPPORTING YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, ENCOURAGING PHYSICAL FITNESS AND CREATING POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN GROW, THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF INVESTMENTS THAT STRENGTHENS COMMUNITIES FOR GENERATIONS. THE YARD REPRESENTS MORE THAN JUST A TRAINING FACILITY. IT REPRESENTS HEALTH, MENTORSHIP, OPPORTUNITY AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION. FOR THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU SUPPORT THIS REZONING REQUEST AND ALLOW THIS PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTY AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. SEMPER FI.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION? YES, SIR. PLEASE COME FORWARD. HOW ARE YOU DOING? MY NAME IS TRAVIS BAUMGARTNER, I LIVE AT 10139 BRYAN ROAD, LITHIA, FLORIDA. 33547. I, MUCH LIKE BEFORE, THE SPEAKER BEFORE -- SORRY, I'M NERVOUS. HEARING MASTER: GO AHEAD, TAKE YOUR TIME.

I WENT TO THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB GROWING UP IN TAMPA. I LIVED IN TAMPA A VERY SHORT TIME AS A LITTLE, LITTLE KID. I WAS LIKE 4 OR 5 AND HAVE BEEN IN LITHIA EVER SINCE THEN. THERE IS A HUGE NEED FOR A FACILITY LIKE THIS IN OUR AREA. THERE ARE SIMILAR FACILITIES THAT DO ALMOST THE SAME THING, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME. LIKE THIS IS MORE LIKE A BOYS & GIRLS CLUB WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY HELPING THE KIDS AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY. I'M ONE OF THE ASSISTANT COACHES AT NEWSOME HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE WRESTLING TEAM. I'M NOT AN OFFICIAL ASSISTANT COACH AT BLOOMINGDALE, BUT I'M LIKE AN ASSISTANT COACH AT BLOOMINGDALE. THE SPONSOR SEVERAL, SEVERAL SPORTS TEAMS AROUND THE AREA. AND I JUST WANT TO READ A COUPLE OF BENEFITS OF WHY I THINK THIS SPORTS FACILITY SHOULD PASS.

HEARING MASTER: LET ME ASK. IS THERE ANOTHER ONE SOMEWHERE NEARBY? NOT LIKE THIS, NO, SIR. HEARING MASTER: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HEARING MASTER: YOU SAID IT NEEDS FACILITIES LIKE THIS ONE. SPORTS, PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO COME. PEOPLE TO COME TO TRAIN, TO LEARN, TO KEEP THEM OCCUPIED. IT KIND OF GOES ON TO MY NEXT POINT. I APOLOGIZE. HEARING MASTER: THAT'S OKAY. GO AHEAD.

SO YOUTH SPORTS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL PHYSICAL AND MENTAL AND SOCIAL BENEFITS INCLUDING IMPROVED CARDIOVASCULAR STRONGER BONDS, LOWER DISEASE RISK. MENTALLY THEY FOCUS ON SELF-ESTEEM, REDUCED STRESS AND IMPROVED FOCUS WHILE SOCIALLY THEY FOSTER TEAMWORK, LASTING FRIENDSHIPS. A FEW OF THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A FACILITY AROUND LIKE THIS AND KIDS BEING ABLE TO TRAIN IN SPORTS ON A REGULAR BASIS IS PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, MENTAL HEALTH, LIKE STRESS, BULLYING, ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS. SOCIAL SKILLS AND CHARACTER. IT HELMS THEM TO MAKE FRIENDS, LEARNS HOW TO ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE. LEARN HOW TO LIKE GET ALONG IN LIFE ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW. LIKE BEING OUT IN THE REAL WORLD, NOT AROUND YOUR PARENTS, RIGHT. AND IN MY EYES, GROWING UP, THE MAIN THING THAT IT DOES IN MY EYES IS IT KEEPS KIDS OUT OF TROUBLE. LIKE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF KIDS AROUND THIS AREA WHERE IF THESE KIDS DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY WHERE IT CAN START AFFECTING -- I'M SORRY, AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHY I THINK THIS PROPERTY SHOULD PASS AND WHY I SUPPORT IT.

HEARING MASTER: OKAY, THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT? YES, SIR. HI. HEARING MASTER: GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS BRENDAN McCAFFERTY, I LIVE AT 6102 FISHHAWK IN LITHIA, FLORIDA. I MOVED HERE 20 YEARS AGO TO FISHHAWK. I CAME FROM ANOTHER STATE AND TRANSITIONED HERE. I REMEMBERED CALLING MY REAL ESTATE AGENT AND WHAT IS THE BEST SUBURB I COULD MOVE TO AND THEY SAID FISHHAWK. IT'S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. I HAVE GRADUATED THREE BOYS FROM NEWSOME HIGH SCHOOL, ON TO STATE COLLEGES. AND HAVE A 13-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER CURRENTLY IN THE AREA. I LIVE RIGHT IN THE HEART OF FISHHAWK. I AM EXACTLY FOUR MINUTES FROM PUBLIX AND FOUR MINUTES FROM THE YARD. LIKE EQUAL DISTANCE. I ALSO HAVE BEEN COACHING FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I'M CURRENTLY THE PRESIDENT OF THE FISHHAWK SOCCER ASSOCIATION THERE THAT USES THE FISHHAWK COMPLEX. TO TRY TO HELP UNDERSTAND THE NEED -- BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. SO I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE CLUB, RIGHT, SO I RUN THE CLUB. WE'RE TRYING TO SERVICE ALL THESE ATHLETES AND SOCCER PEOPLE THAT WANT TO USE THE COUNTY FIELDS. THE COUNTY FIELDS ARE PACKED. AND WE HAVE PRACTICES AND THE FIELDS ARE PACKED FROM 6:00 TO 9:00. AND IF THERE'S PLAYERS THAT WANT TO DO ADDITIONAL TRAINING TO GET BETTER, WE HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME SUPPORTING THAT, RIGHT. WE CAN DO A TEAM PRACTICE, A TEAM-BASED THING. BUT IF WE SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO GET BETTER AT A SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT LIKE SHOOTING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THERE'S REALLY VERY LITTLE OUTLETS FOR THAT AND TRAINING FACILITIES FOR THAT. PEOPLE TODAY, HOW I'VE DONE IT WITH MY KIDS IS SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD OR THE LITTLE PARK ACROSS FROM PARK SQUARE THAT'S

TILTED LIKE THIS AND PEOPLE ARE TWISTING THEIR ANKLES AND YOU GET CHASED OFF OF IT, RIGHT. AND TRYING TO HIRE PROFESSIONALS TO DO IT. FOR 20 YEARS I'VE BEEN GOING TO LIKE WESLEY CHAPEL TO TRY TO GET FOOT SOL GAMES, A SUPPLEMENTAL TRAINING FOR SOCCER BECAUSE THERE'S NO FACILITIES HERE. OVER THE SUMMERS, WE WOULD GO TRY TO FIND A CHURCH OVER NEAR LOWE'S IN BRANDON, RIGHT. SO TO TRY TO FIND LOCATIONS TO SERVICE THIS, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AND I CONSIDER MYSELF AN EXPERT AT LOOKING FOR MY CHILDREN TO FIND SOME TYPE OF TRAINING. AND THERE'S JUST NONE AVAILABLE. THIS IS THE FIRST AVAILABLE. IT'S REALLY MEETING A MARKET NEED FOR A DEVELOPED COMMUNITY LIKE FISHHAWK. YOU COULD SEE IN THOSE MAPS, YOU COULD SEE THE FISHHAWK FIELDS WERE RIGHT ABOVE THERE.

HEARING MASTER: YEAH.

AND HOW ACCESSIBLE THEY ARE, THEY ARE FULL LIKE, YOU KNOW, AND I MANAGE THEM. SO I KNOW THE NEED. YOU KNOW, IN HAVING THOSE TYPE OF FACILI FACILITIES DOES -- I S TRAVIS SAID, FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO ACHIEVE AND GET BETTER, I SPEND MY DAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I CAN HELP THE WHOLE POPULATION OF STUDENT ATHLETES, RIGHT, FROM THE RECREATION STUDENT ATHLETES TO THE HIGH-PERFORMING STUDENT ATHLETES AND TRY TO FIND SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. AND THERE'S GAPS, RIGHT. AND ONE OF THE MAJOR GAPS IS THE ONONES WHETHER THEY ARE RECREATIONAL OR HIGH LEVEL WHERE I SAY I WANT TO GET BETTER, WHERE CAN I DO IT. THERE ARE TRAINERS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE FACILITY USE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE'S A FEW TRAINERS THAT HAVE NOWHERE TO TRAIN PLAYERS BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE COACHING AT NIGHT, BUT THERE'S A FEW TRAINERS THAT HAVE NOWHERE TO TRAIN PLAYERS THAT COULD TRAIN PRIVATE SESSIONS AT THAT LOCATION. LOW NUMBERS ARE THE BETTER TRAINING. I THINK WE'LL HAVE A TRAINER TALK TO IT. BUT LOW NUMBERS ARE HOW YOU DEVELOP BETTER TRAINING. WE DO PRACTICE WITH BIG NUMBERS ALL THE TIME. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO. HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS CLEAR IT UP.

HEARING MASTER: IT DOES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT? AND THE CLERK CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I THINK IT'S COUNTING DOWN ABOUT FOUR MINUTES TO GO. ALL RIGHT. SO THOSE WHO WANT TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE BESIDES THIS GENTLEMAN AT THE PODIUM? OKAY. KEEP THAT IN MIND. THERE'S FOUR MINUTES LEFT, THOSE THAT WANT TO SPEAK IN APPARENT.

MY NAME IS ASIAN [INAUDIBLE] I AM THE CURRENT PROFESSIONAL SOCCER COACH WITH THE TAMPA BAY SUNS WHICH IS OUR LOCAL PROFESSIONAL SOCCER TEAM. I'M ALSO THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR OF SHORTER PREMIER F.C. I AM ONE OF THE COACHES THAT I AM HIGHLY INTERESTED IN THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS' TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT AND WITHIN THE FISHHAWK AREA, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE ELSE THAT YOU COULD GO IN THE CURRENT MOMENT TO GO AND PROVIDE THIS TRAINING FOR YOUNG PLAYERS. BEING A PROFESSIONAL SOCCER COACH, I HAVE TONS OF REQUESTS FROM LOW PLAYERS TO GO AND DO EXTRA SKILL TRAINING, WHETHER THAT'S WORKING ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL SKILLS, THEIR SHOOTING, THEIR DRIBBLING, DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE GAME THAT WILL HELP WITH THEIR INDIVIDUAL GROWTH. AND IN THE CURRENT MOMENT, THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO. AND EVEN BEING INVOLVED WITH THE PROFESSIONAL TEAM, YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF THE WOMEN THAT LIVE IN THE FISHHAWK AREA THAT ASK TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. AND I HAVE PUT THEM IN TOUCH WITH YOUNG PLAYERS. AND THE TRUTH IS, THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THESE PROFESSIONAL WOMEN TO GIVE BACK TO THE THIS FACILITY PROVIDES THAT FOR- THE YOUNG PLAYERS IN THE AREA. I TRIED TO MAKE IT QUICK SO THIS GENTLEMAN CAN GO AS WELL. BUT THIS IS THE GIST OF WHY I THINK THIS FACILITY IS DEFINITELY NEEDED WITHIN THE AREA.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. CAN YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS? 731 [INAUDIBLE] FISHHAWK, FLORIDA.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION. MY NAME IS RASHAD DAVIS. I LIVE AT 5402 OSPREY RIDGE DRIVE IN FISHHAWK. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF FISHHAWK FOR 13 YEARS. MORE SPECIFIC TO THIS DEVELOPMENT. I'VE ALSO BEEN A VOLUNTEER BASKETBALL COACH FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE, LIKE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WHAT'S THE NEED, LIKE WE HAVE NOWHERE, NO INDOOR FACILITIES NEAR FISH HOOK WHERE WOE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE. I HAVE MY TWO BOYS HERE. WE HAVE TO DRIVE AT LEAST 25 TO 30 MINUTES JUST TO GO TO PRACTICE. I WORK WITH MULTIPLE PROGRAMS OVER THE FIVE YEARS, THEY PLAYED FOR FOUR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE, I WANT TO SAY, 20 TO 30 LOCAL BASKETBALL TEAMS IN THE AREA. AND WE ALL FIGHT OVER THE SAME FEW TRAINING FACILITIES THAT ARE LOCATED IN BRANDON. WE GO TO BRANDON TWICE A WEEK, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO GO TO PLANT CITY, WHICH IS LIKE 40, 45 MINUTES AWAY. WE HAVE NOWHERE TO PRACTICE, NOWHERE TO TRAIN. AND I THINK THAT HAVING A BASKETBALL FACILITY IN FISH HOOK THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO USE WOULD BE HUGE. I MEAN, WHEN PARENTS FOUND OUT THIS PLACE HAD THE POTENTIAL OF COMING TO FISHHAWK, ALL THE BASKETBALL PARENTS, THEY WERE ECSTATIC. YOU PROBABLY HAVE A BUNCH OF LETTERS OVER THERE THAT WE SUBMITTED FROM TONS OF PARENTS

WHOSE KIDS PLAY BASKETBALL BECAUSE WE'RE SICK OF TRAVELING. PRACTICES, THESE KIDS GO TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEY DON'T GET OUT UNTIL RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. SO WE'RE FIGHTING TRAFFIC TO GET OUT OF FISHHAWK. SOME OF US HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT TEAMS THEY HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO. WE'RE TRYING TO BE IN TWO, THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AT ONE TIME, WHEN WE COULD HAVE A FACILITY FIVE MINUTES AWAY. THAT'S A HUGE ISSUE. ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, ME PERSONALLY, I GREW UP WITH WHAT YOU WOULD DESCRIBE AS AN AT RISK YOUTH, SO MY ENVIRONMENT, WE JUST -- THERE'S A LOT OF CRIME AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND MY ENVIRONMENT WHERE I GREW UP, AND LUCKILY, YOU KNOW, I HAD A MENTOR THAT TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING, WE USED TO PLAY BASKETBALL TOGETHER AT A IF A SILL IF I THAT WAS FIVE MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVED. ME AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS. WHAT WE LEARNED THROUGH BASKETBALL, BASICALLY, THERE'S TONS OF PEOPLE FROM JUST A DIVERSE GROUP, DIFFERENT SOCIOECONOMIC SITUATIONS, EDUCATION LEVELS, ALL OF THIS STUFF. I OFTEN SAY LIKE BASKETBALL SAVED MY LIFE. AND IT'S TRUE, BECAUSE BECAUSE BEFORE I GOT INTO BASKETBALL, TO BE HONEST, MAN, THERE WAS NO HOPE. YOU COULDN'T SEE HOPE OF GETTING OUT OF THE ENVIRONMENT I WAS IN.

CHAIR: TIME'S UP. BASKETBALL PROVIDED THAT FOR ME. HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS WILL APPROVE THIS. IF YOU COULD PLEASE SIGN IN, SIR. CHAIR: ALL RIGHT, 15 MINUTES ARE UP FOR THOSE IN SUPPORT. COULD I JUST ASK, THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE NOT GOING TO SPEAK BESIDES THE CHILDREN, IF THEY COULD STAND UP?

CHAIR: SURE, UNDERSTOOD. LET THE RECORD REFLECT THERE'S ANOTHER 15 OR 20 PEOPLE THAT STOOD UP IN SUPPORT, WHO WILL NOT BE SPEAKING TONIGHT BUT THEY'RE HERE IN SUPPORT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I'LL TURN TO OPPOSITION. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION. IF YOU COULD, PLEASE COME FORWARD. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS WILLIAM IRAKE, I LIVE ON LITHIA RANCH ROAD, LITHIA, FLORIDA. I THINK SOME OF THE SPEAKERS HERE GIVE YOU -- THAT HAVE SPOKEN IN FAVOR OF THIS, GIVE YOU AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS MORE OF A COMMERCIAL VENTURE AS STAFF HAS FOUND THAN IS A RECREATIONAL PARK OR COUNTY SPONSORED PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC IT IT'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, IT'S FOR SPECIFIC TRAINING AND SOME SPEAKERS HAVE SUGGESTED PRACTICE, WHICH SEEMS CONTRARY TO WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN ANY EVENT. I HAVE A PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF YOUTH SPORTS, BECAUSE I FOUNDED SOUTH TAMPA STICKS YOUTH LaCROSSE LEAGUE. I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE. THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE, IT'S SOMEWHAT OF A RED HERRING FOR THIS PURPOSE. THE PURPOSE IS TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT IT FITS WITHIN THE CRY TEER YAFT COUNTY FOR ZONING LAND USE PURPOSES, AND YOUR STAFF HAS FOUND THAT IT'S CONTRARY TO -- AND IT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I ALSO HAVE A SUGGESTION ABOUT THE ROADWAY IN TERMS OF THE COMMERCIAL -- THE FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION. THAT ROAD THAT THE COUNTY SUGGESTS IS ACTUALLY A MILE AWAY, THIS IS LITHIA PINECREST AND BOYETTE, NOT BOYETTE AND DORMAN. THE SURROUNDING USE, AND I LIVE IN THE AREA IS RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE. THEY'RE LARGE LOTS, TYPICALLY, THIS IS NOT A USE, THE ROADWAY SYSTEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE, IT'S

SOMEWHAT SUBSTANDARD TO SUPPORT THE KIND OF TRAFFIC THAT THIS WOULD GENERATE. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OTHERS TO SPEAK AS WELL. THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING.

ERIC W. SMITH WITH LAMB BERT LAW OFFICES. I AM REPRESENTING THE BOYETTE COMMUNITY AND BROWNING ROADS NEIGHBORHOODS. DO YOU HAVE A POWER POINT PRESENTATION AS WELL. SO MOST OF THE FARMS, IT'S AN LLC. A COMMERCIAL ENTITY, THE CLAIM IS, THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR RECREATIONAL USE, GENERAL INDOOR/OUTDOOR FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, HOWEVER, BASED ON THE ADVERTISEMENTS AND THE EVIDENCE THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED AND WAS BROUGHT FOR ATTENTION. IT'S CLEAR THIS IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE, FOR PROFITEERING, MANY OF THE MEMBERS HAVE SPOKEN TODAY ARE COACHES WHO WILL BE PROFITING FROM THE BUSINESS VENTURE IN THIS AREA. THE ACTIONS BY THE LLC SHOW THEY CARE NOT ABOUT THE NEIGHBORS, THE COMMUNITY AND THOSE WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP, IT'S MORE ABOUT PROFIT EARRI PROFITEERING AND THIS BUSINESS VENTURE. THIS BUSINESS WAS PURCHASED AND MARKETED AS A COMMERCIAL SPORTS FACILITY BEFORE ANY PERMITS WERE SUBMITTED. ONLINE ADVERTISING INDICATES OTHERWISE, DEMONSTRATING A DELIBERATE COMMERCIAL INTENT. FLU POLICY 3.13 EMPHASIZES COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. WHICH REQUIRES SENSETIVETY TO THE SCALE OF NEARBY LAND USES. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT MEET THIS CRITERIA AS WAS STATED BEFORE.

THE LOW DENSITY AREA SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY IS CHARACTERIZED AS AR ZONED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND AGRICULTURAL RECOMMENDED BUSINESSES, WITH PARCELS RANGING FROM 1 ACRE TO 20 ACRES. THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY AND INTENSITY OF A SPORTS TRAINED FACILITY IN THIS AGRICULTURAL ZONES AREA IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE DAILY LIVES AND THE LONG ESTABLISHED RURAL CHARACTER OF LITHIA. NIGHTTIME CONSTRUCTION USING LIGHTS, DAYS OF DUMP TRUCKS, CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS BLOWING INTO THE PASTURES AND YARDS, AND ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF TREES AND BRUSH. MONTHS OF VEHICLES COMING AND GOING. MY CLIENTS HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. WITH THIS SLIDE HERE WE SEE THE LIGHT POLLUTION, THERE'S ANIMAL PASTURES, CHICKEN KOOPS, FRONT PORCHES, LIVING ROOMS AND BEDROOMS. MOST DAYS, NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO MORNING LIGHTS FROM 6:00 A.M. TO 9:00 P.M. THE DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRIGHT LIGHTS FROM BUILDINGS AND FIELDS AS BOYETTE IS A DARK DANGEROUS ROAD TO TRAVEL AT NIGHT. THE PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 2 OR RES-2 ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, WITHIN

LIMITED URBAN AREAS, WHILE THE PROPOSED BUILDING AREA IS BELOW THE MAXIMUM INTENSITY, THE NATURE OF THE USE DELIVERS A LEVEL OF INTENSITY AND ACTIVITY THAT'S INCONSISTENT. AS YOU CAN READ, WITH BE OBJECTIVE 1.4 OF THE REVISED SHEET, IS MISLEADING AND NOT A SPACE FOR COMMUNITY USE, OR FOR ANYONE BUT PAYING CUSTOMERS. AS SHOWN ON THE FOLLOWING ONLINE ADS, THIS IS FOR A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS, CHARGING FEES PER SESSION, LESSONS, CLINICS, CAMPS AND MORE. FIELD RENTALS ON SUNDAYS FOR EXTRA TEAM PRACTICE. YOU WILL SEE IN THESE ADS, THERE'S A COST OF $200 PER SESSION OR A MEMBERSHIP FEE OF $199. FOR THOSE WHO ARE PART OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE SERVICES IN THIS AREA. THIS WOULD NOT BE FOR THOSE MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY A SPORT. THIS IS FOR A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS. MANY EVENTS WERE HELD ALL WHILE PROPER ZONING WAS NOT IN PLACE, AND IN THE ABSENCE OF PROPER PERMITTING AS SHOWN BELOW. WITH REGARD TO THE 22,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING. THIS WILL -- 13,700 GALLONS OF WATER PER HEAVY RAIN. THE FLOW RATE CAN EXCEED 200 TO 300 GALLONS PER MINUTE, TOE

REQUIRE A HIGH CAPACITY DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO BE IN PLACE. NOW, THE TRIP DESCRIPTION THAT IT WOULD BRING IN 286 EXTRA DAILY TRIPS, WOULD BE PROPOSED BY THEIR REPORT WOULD NOT BE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, BASED ON THE ADVERTISEMENTS, A LOT MORE USES WOULD BE USED IN THIS AREA. ONE SLIDE SHOWS THERE'S A 1.5 LANE ONLY ON DORMAN ROAD, WHERE MANY OF THE AGRICULTURAL BUSINESSES USE THIS ROAD, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SERVICE ALL THESE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD BE WANTING TO USE THE SERVICES OF THE YARD. FLU POLICY 3.12 REQUIRES GRADUAL TRANSITIONS AND INTENSITIES AND DENSITIES THROUGH DIFFERENT LAND USES, THROUGH BUFFERING AND SCREENING TECHNIQUES. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, DOES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THESE REQUIREMENTS, AS THE INTENSITY IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING LOW DENSITY AREAS AND USES.

THAT ONE'S NOT GOING TO PLAY THE SOUND. CAN YOU STOP THE TIME FOR A SECOND? UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A BATTER AND IT'S REALLY LOUD.

ONE BATTER PERFORMING THE ACT, HOWEVER, MULTIPLY THAT BY 20 OR 40. NO INDICATION THAT THIS PROPOSED PLAN WOULD HAVE ANY LIMITATION ON NOISE POLLUTION IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHT POLLUTION. AND AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE FOR THOSE WHO OPPOSE, WHO ARE NOT GOING TO SPEAK ALSO STAND FOR THE RECORD. THERE'S ABOUT 30 DOWNSTAIRS. AND IN ADDITION THERE ARE 35 IN THE OVERFLOW WHO ALSO OPPOSE. LET THE RECORD REFLECT WILD GUESS IS 50 PEOPLE, 60 IN THE ROOM, STOOD IN OPPOSITION. AND SIR, YOU SAY THERE'S MORE PEOPLE DOWNSTAIRS?

YES, SIR. WE SUBMITTED SEVERAL LETTERS, PETITIONS HAVE BEEN SIGNED, AND THERE ARE 9,000 FOLLOWERS OF THIS RURAL LITHIA, TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AND HARMING THEIR COMMUNITY.

SO LAST MINUTE -- LAST REMAINING CONCERNS THAT WE DO HAVE IS HOW THIS APPROVAL WOULD AFFECT THE -- PROVIDE A PRECEDENT FOR OTHERS TO USE THE SAME EXAMPLE OF, I'M NOT GOING TO DO A SITE PLAN, I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE BUFFERING, SHOW NOISE POLLUTION, LIGHT POLLUTION, UNTIL AFTER I DEVELOP FIRST, BECAUSE I WANT THE LAND IN A SPECIFIC AREA, AN AREA WHERE THERE IS A HIGHER DEMAND OF SCHOOLS, THOSE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES, AND NOT SO MUCH FOR A BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, WHERE ALL WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO HAVE SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE. YOU DID SEE, WASN'T JUST GOING TO BE FOR MEMBERSHIP THAT WAS -- OR A FEW TRAINERS, MANY PEOPLE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM THIS VENTURE, WHICH IS CLEARLY COMMERCIAL. OTHER ISSUES ARE, WHERE ARE THE RESTROOMS GOING TO BE LOCATED. WAS THERE SEPTIC PERMIT OBTAINED FOR THE FACILITIES? THAT HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN IN ANY OF THE REPORTS. AND THERE IS A CLEAR HISTORY OF TRYING TO SKIRT AROUND THE RULES DEVELOPED FIRST, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED, BECAUSE OTHERS WOULD FOLLOW IN THE SAME PRECEDENT.

WE HAVE MANY OTHER SPEAKERS. CHAIR: ALL RIGHT, IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK? YES, MA'AM? GOOD EVENING. HI, I'M KATHERINE WIGGINS, 18808 BOYETTE ROAD. I LIVE AND OPERATE MY AG BUSINESS DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE YARD, I AM THE HORSE PERSON. IN MARCH OF 2021, I FULFILLED A LIFELONG DREAM --

CHAIR: FOR THE RECORD, AS THE HORSE PERSON, YOU'RE THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER TO THE SOUTH? I AM DIRECTLY SOUTH, YES. CHAIR: THANK YOU.

WHEN CONSTRUCTION BEGAN, MANY LONG DAYS HAPPENED WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OR THE USE OF PROTECTIVE BARRIERS ALONG PROPERTY LINES, DEBRIS AND EVEN FIBERGLASS INSULATION BLEW INTO MY HORSE PASTURE CREATING A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM. THROUGHOUT CONSTRUCTION, AND DAILY SPORTS TRAINING OPERATIONS, MY LIVELIHOOD HAS BEEN IMPACTED. I'VE LOST MULTIPLE DAYS OF LESSONS, BECAUSE I CANNOT RISK THE SAFETY OF MY STUDENTS WHEN THEY'RE PULLING DOWN TREES AND A HORSE BOOT OR THEY'RE BATTING AND A HORSE SPOOKS. ADDED BUFFERS DO NOT FULLY ADDRESS THAT HORSES ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE ANIMALS. I HAVE LOST PROSPECTIVE BOARDING CLIENTS WHO ARE DETERRED BY THE PRESENCE OF A LARGE COMMERCIAL OPERATION BUILT SO CLOSE. MY BUSINESS IS COMPLETELY CONTINGENT ON THE YARD FOLLOWING THE RULES. IF PAST ACTIONS DICTATE THEIR FUTURE BSINESS PRACTICES, ALLOWING A REZONE WOULD SEND RESIDENTS TO A LIFETIME OF POLICING. AS YOU'RE AWARE, SUBMITTING ANY CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINT REQUIRES A PERSONAL NAME. THIS WOULD LEAVE US NEIGHBORS IN AN UNJUST SITUATION. FOR MY OPPOSITION, I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO ACTIONS LIKE THIS, I'VE BEEN LIED TO BY ANOTHER SAYING, THE PROPERTY WAS FOR ONLY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND HE ALSO WARNED THAT IF NOT REZONED, THEY HAD BUYERS THAT WOULD CONSTRUCT TOWNHOMES INSTEAD. TO CONCLUDE OUR AR ZONING IS ALL WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR HOMES,

OUR LANDS, OUR AG BUSINESSES. I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS REZONING, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING.

CHAIR: THANK YOU, MA'AM. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? WILL THERE BE ANYONE ELSE BESIDES THE GENTLEMAN COMING FORWARD? OKAY, IF YOU COULD, TIME'S GETTING SHORTER. SO, SIR, COME ON FORWARD. SIR, WHY DON'T YOU GET UP AND GET READY TO SPEAK AFTER HE'S DONE.

I'M THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE PARCEL IN QUESTION. I'VE LIVED IN THIS LOCATION FOR OVER 50 YEARS, MY FAMILY HOME WAS ON THE NORTH SIDE. SPEAKING TO YOU IN OPPOSITION OF THE REZONING. MY FAMILY HAS DEEP ROOTS IN THE COMMUNITY. RESIDENTS ARE INCREASINGLY WORRIED OF A LOSS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND. THE INTRODUCTION OF A COMMERCIAL FACILITY AND RESIDENTIAL AREA WILL NEGATIVELY AFFECT SURROUNDING HOME AND LAND PROPERTY VALUES, THE POSSIBILITY THAT A COMMERCIAL SPORTS FACILITY WOULD BE GRANTED PERMISSION TO OPERATE IN THIS PROPERTY IS UNTHINKABLE. THIS WOULD BE COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDINGS. I USE SOME OF THE LAND TO RAISE CATTLE. MY LAND IS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE NOISE, LIGHT, COMMOTION OF THE SOCCER FIELDS AND LIGHTS THAT OPERATE UNTIL 9:00 P.M. OR LATER. I DREAD WHATEVER FUTURE EXPANSION THEY HAVE PLANNED FOR THE BUSINESS. ALMOSTA FARM HAS IMPACTED THE LAND, A GREAT AMOUNT OF FILLER WAS BROUGHT IN TO RAISE THE LAND. I'M CONCERNED THE ELEVATION OF THESE FIELDS COULD BRING GREAT EROS EROSION ON MY PROPERTY. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS ZONING APPLICATION BE DENIED. THANK YOU.

CHAIR: THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD EVENING.

I'M LYVONNE KENDRICK. I LIVE ON BOYETTE ROAD. WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE YARD. IT'S A PLACE WHERE WE SPEND TIME WITH OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, GROW OUR FOOD. WE HAPPILY POURED OUR HEART, SWEAT AND FINANCES INTO RESTORING OUR 7 ACRE FARM AND FARMHOUSE. BELIEVING IT WOULD BE A SLICE OF PARADISE IN OUR RETIREMENT YEARS. IN THIS LAST YEAR, OUR RURAL LIFE DREAM HAS BEEN CHANGED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE YARD. THIS BUSINESSES HAVE ALREADY -- BY CONVERTING A HORSE FARM INTO A LARGE NONAG FOR PROFIT COMMERCIAL SPORTS TRAINING BUSINESS. NONE OF THE THREE BUSINESSES HAVE EVER CARED ABOUT INTRODUCING THEMSELVES OR SHOWING ANY REGARD FOR OUR PROPERTY. NEGATIVE EFFECTS FROM DAILY BUSINESS OPERATIONS INCLUDE NOISE, TRAFFIC, LIGHT POLLUTION. THIS IS MY HUSBAND AT THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. WE MOVED HERE TO ENJOY SUNSETS FROM OUR FRONT PORCH. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE MANY NIGHTS, THE LIGHTS LEFT ON AFTER THE LAST PERSON LEAVES. AND WE DO NOT PROPOSE THE LIGHT TIMERS WOULD BE USED RESPONSIBLY. REPOSITIONING THE DRIVEWAY WOULD BRING DAILY HEADLIGHTS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE INCREASED TRAFFIC FROM THIS BUSINESS. IT'S DIFFICULT TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT TIMES, AND IT'S DANGEROUS TO GET YOUR MAIL. IN CLOSING, IT'S MY BELIEF, IF THEY'RE ALLOWED TO REZONE, THE YARD WILL NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR QUALITY OF LIFE, OUR HOLMES WE VALUE DEARLY, AND ULTIMATELY,

OUR PROPERTY VALUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? CLERK, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT? WE'RE DONE. SIR, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU NEED? A COUPLE MINUTES, THREE MINUTES. CHAIR: ALL RIGHT, TIME'S UP, CAN YOU KEEP IT SHORTER THAN THAT? WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? CHAIR: THE TIME IS UP FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, I'M ASKING YOU TO KEEP YOUR COMMENTS BRIEF. ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO MY BEST. THANK YOU, SIR.

MY NAME IS GARY TAYLOR, I LIVE AT 10005 BRYANT ROAD IN LITHIA, WHERE I LIVED FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS, I WAS AT THIS PODIUM ABOUT A MONTH AGO ON A DIFFERENT SUBJECT, BUT THE TALKING POINTS ARE THE SAME, THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED. WHAT I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON IS THE TRAFFIC. HIGHWAY 640 WHERE IT CROSSES FISHHAWK, BOYETTE, MY ROAD AND HIGHWAY 39 # IS HORRIFIC ON A GOOD DAY. WHOEVER MADE THAT STATEMENT ABOUT TRANSPORTATION IN A C ZONE INSTEAD OF A D ZONE HAS NEVER SAT 20 MINUTES TO GO A HLF MILE TO GET TO WALGREENS BEFORE THEY CLOSE. OUR COMMUNITY DOES NOT NEED THIS PROJECT TO FURTHER IMPACT AN ALREADY TREACHEROUS SITUATION THAT WILL NOT BE CORRECTED ANY TIME SOON, AND NOT WITHOUT A TON OF MONEY THAT THE COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE. I RAISED THREE KIDS, THEY ALL PLAYED SPORTS, ONE GOT A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP IN SOFTBALL, I TAUGHT THEM ALL IN THE FRONT PASTURE WITH A BAT AND A BALL. THEY DIDN'T NEED A HIGH IF A -- HIGH FALLUTANT COMPLEX TO TEACH THEM BASEBALL.

CHAIR: THANK YOU, SIR. THAT CONCLUDES THOSE SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF, ANYTHING FURTHER? NO, SIR. CHAIR: APPLICANT, OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL?

FOR THE RECORD AGAIN, MICHAEL BROOKS, I BELIEVE ISABEL ALBERT MAY SPEAK AS WELL. I WILL KEEP THESE COMMENTS SHORT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LOT OF PASSION ON BOTH SIDES HERE, THE PASSION IS RELATIVE TO NEEDS AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SPORTS OPPORTUNITIES. THE OTHER IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE PRESERVATION OF THE RURAL AREA, AND CERTAINLY A CONCERN ABOUT PRECEDENT. I STARTED THIS PRESENTATION WITH THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS PROPERTY, RIGHT? THE UNIQUENESS OF THE USE. THERE'S ON BEEN THREE OF THESE, AND I BELIEVE I CAN VERIFY THIS. THAT HAVE COME BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER IN THE LAST SIX YEARS. WE DO BELIEVE THAT -- I MEAN, THE WORD RED HERRING WAS USED EARLIER, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A PERFECT ANALOGY. TO APPLY THIS CRITERIA, IN A TRADITIONAL COMMERCIAL ANALYSIS TO A USE LIKE THIS, ESSENTIALLY MEANS THAT TEN ACRE TYPE FACILITIES LIKE THIS SHOULD BE PUSHED TO THE INTERSECTIONS. THE VALUABLE LOCATIONS, THE ONLY VALUABLE LOCATIONS IN OUR COUNTY, WHERE TRUE COMMERCIAL USES CAN OCCUR, FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT THAT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO ME. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE -- I HAVE TO APOLOGIAPOLI DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUR SLIDES BACK UP. WHILE ISABELLA IS HELPING ME HERE, I DO WANT TO TOUCH ON JUST A FEW THINGS. I CAN'T VERIFY AND AUTHENTICATE ANY OF THE PHOTOS THAT WERE SHOWN. WE KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE PHOTOS WAS A PICTURE OF A

LIGHT FROM A CRANE DURING A CONCRETE POUR. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS WOULD BE LIKE. AND I'M GOING TO PULL UP PHOTO METRICS, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WHILE WE'RE DOING THIS, I'LL TOUCH ON TRAFFIC. CHAPTER 163.3.180 IS CLEAR ON A MOBILITY STRUCTURE. WE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED THE CAP SO THAT IT WAS DE MINIMUS, AT LEAST UNDER THE COUNTY'S MANAGEMENT ACCESS STANDARDS, WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO INCREASE THE TRAFFIC ON THIS SECTION OF THE ROADWAY. ON LIGHT, THIS IS THE ADJACENT PROPERTY, AND I DON'T MEAN TO BRING THIS UP TO POINT FINGERS AT ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS, BUT THIS IS THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN THE HORSE OPERATION WHICH YES IS AGRICULTURAL IN NATURE, BUT AS EQUALLY AS MUCH A BUSINESS AS NATURE IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. YOU CAN VERIFY THERE, THIS WAS TAKEN LAST NIGHT AT 9:33. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF LIGHT SPILLAGE COMING OVER TO -- THAT FENCE LINE IS THE PROPERTY LINE. AND YOU CAN SEE HOW FAR THE LIGHT SPILLAGE FROM WHAT I BELIEVE IS A TECO POLE, THERE'S TWO OF THEM. HERE'S THE OTHER ONE. SO THIS IS -- IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY TAKEN A VISIT TO THIS AREA, THE RURAL AREA OUT HERE OR SEMIRURAL AREA, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO. THIS IS A VERY -- THIS IS NOT A BUG, THIS IS A FEATURE OF THESE AREAS. WE DID HAVE A PHOTO METRIC STUDY DONE, AND THIS IS IN YOUR PACK. IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE ZIP

DRIVE. THIS IS BOTH THE BLACK AND WHITE IMAGING, THERE IS SOME SLIGHT BLEEDING, IT'S ABOUT A .1, .2 CANDLE FOOT ON THE NORTH LINE TOWARD THE BACK WHERE THERE WILL BE A SIX FOOT FENCE, THIS DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FENCING. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT IS IN YOUR BACKUP, THAT SHOWS THIS IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT. AND YOU ALSO HAVE IN HERE, THE SIGNED AND SEALED ENGINEERING STUDY, IN WHICH ALL OF THOSE WERE BASED. I WILL SAY FOR THE RECORD, THAT THE LIGHTS THAT WERE USED FOR THIS PHOTO METRIC STUDY ARE NOT EXACTLY THE LIGHTS THAT ARE OUT THERE NOW. THOSE HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF, THEY'VE NOT BEEN TURNED BACK ON, AND THEY WILL BE REPLACED IF THIS APPROVAL -- IF THIS PROJECT IS APPROVED. SO THAT'S IT WITH REGARD TO LIGHT.

CHAIR: MR. BROOKS, YOU HAVE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE. DID I MISS ANYTHING. JUST ALSO, ISABELLA ALBERT FOR THE RECORD, TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S A LOT O PASSION FOR THE RURAL AREA, BUT WE ARE IN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA, AND WE ARE FUNCTIONING AS A TRANSITIONAL USE, HAS TO BE RECOGNIZED, THERE IS A LINE AND IT HAS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED. CHAIR: THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CHAIR: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES THIS ITEM, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S PATIENCE. WHY DON'T WE TAKE ANOTHER FIVE MINUTE BREAK.

IT'S NOW 9:03, WE'LL COME BACK

AT 9:10.

GENTLEMEN, WE'RE RECONVENING TONIGHT'S ZONING HEARING MASTER HEARING. IF YOU COULD HAVE A SEAT, WE HAVE THREE MORE ITEMS TO GO TONIGHT. MISS HEINRICH, WE'RE READY, IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE THE NEXT ITEM. SURE. RZ-PD26-0214. TANYA CHAPELLA WILL PROVIDE STAFF'S FINDINGS.

KAMI CORBETT WITH THE LAW FIRM OF HILL WARD AND HENDERSON. TAMPA, FLORIDA, THIS IS A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD REQUEST. WE HAVE CMU12, FUTURE LAND USE, JUST WEST OF THE BYPASS CANAL. THE EXISTING ZONING IS PD IN RSC-2 IN MOBILE HOME. THIS IS A LOCATION, IT LOOKS FAMILIAR, IT'S A DALLAS BULL NIGHTCLUB THAT IS STILL THEE, THE REMAINDER OF THE PD IS BEHIND IT. WE RECENTLY REZONED THIS 450,000 SQUARE FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY TO THE BEWEST. THE PROPERTY IN THE BOX THAT IS BLUE, IS WHAT WE ARE ADDING TO THIS NEW PD. THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING HERE, IS ADDING THAT ACREAGE TO ALLOW FOR STORM WATER PONDS. EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINS THE SAME. WE ARE ASKING FOR ONE NEW PD SAYRE VARIATION, AND THAT'S ALONG THE CANAL. NOW WE'RE ELIMINATING THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, WE'RE ASKING FOR A VARIATION TO ALLOW FOR A 10-FOOT TYPE B ENHANCED WHERE A 20 FOOT TYPE B IS REQUIRED. STAFF IS SUPPORTING THAT VARIATION. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS FOUND IT CONSISTENT, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FINDS IT SUPPORTABLE. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY.

HEARING MASTER: NO QUESTIONS.

TANYA CHA PEPELLA DEVELOPMEN SERVICES. THIS WAS MOST RECENTLY REZONED THROUGH A MAJOR MODIFICATION. THEY'RE ASKING TO ADD 2.23 ACRES TO THE EXISTING PD. THIS ADDITIONAL AREA WILL BE DEDICATED SOLELY TO STORM WATER MANAGEMENT, AND WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY ACTIVE USES OR STRUCTURES. THE EXISTING PD ALLOWS TWO DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS, INCLUDING FLEX SPACE AND BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USES, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES. THE PROPOSED MODIFICATION DOES NOT INTRODUCE ANY NEW USES AND MAINTAINS THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED EVERYONE TITLEMENTS. BECAUSE -- ENTITLEMENTS. BECAUSE THE ADDITIONAL LAND AREA WILL BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY IS REDUCED, THE RESULTING FLOOR AREA RATIO REMAINS BELOW THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED UNDER THE CMU12 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, AND IN TERMS OF COMPATIBILITY, THIS ROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY INDUSTRIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH THIS PATTERN, ADDITIONALLY, THE TAMPA BAY CANAL ASSOCIATED DRAINAGE AREAS, AND INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD PROVIDE PHYSICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN THE SITE AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. BUFFERING AND SCREENING CONDITION, VARY ALONG THE SIDE BOUNDARIES, WHILE A REDUCED BUFFER IS PROPOSED ALONG THE CANAL FRONTAGE, ENHANCED SCREENING IS PROVIDED. THIS INCLUDES A 10 FOOT WIDE BUFFER, EXCEEDING THE MINIMUM 10

FOOT REQUIREMENT, ALONG WITH A 6 FOOT SOLID FENCE. BASED ON THIS FACTORS, STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED MODIFICATION DOES NOT INTRODUCE NEW IMPACTS AND REMAINS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. HEARING MASTER: WE'RE GOOD, THANK YOU. NO QUESTIONS.

TYREK ROYAL PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE REQUEST ALIGNS WITH FLU OBJECTIVE 4.4 AND 4.4.1. THE SUBJECT SITE IS ALREADY A PART OF APPROVED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, THE STORM WATER IS SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT. AS SUCH, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE MIXED USE 12 DESIGNATION AND THE EXISTING CHARACTER OF THE AREA. FROM A LAND USE STANDPOINT, A MAXIMUM FAR OF .5, THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT REMAINS WITHIN THE RELIABLE INTENSITY FOR THE SITE. THE SITE ALSO FLIES WITH FLU REQUIREMENTS. OVERALL, STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PATTERN, AND SUPPORTS EASTLAKE ORIENT PARK PLAN. THEREFORE, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION? NO ONE RESPONDING. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION? NO ONE RESPONDING. STAFF, ANYTHING FURTHER? NO, SIR. HEARING MASTER: APPLICANT OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL.

NOT REBUTTAL, JUST ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION, I CLARIFIED WITH STAFF AHEAD OF TIME. THERE ARE TWO DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PD, THE FIRST RELATES TO SOME OFFICE, THE PD PLAN THAT'S BEFORE YOU, SHOWS 150,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL, PRIOR TO CERTIFICATION, WE'RE GOING TO ADD THE OPTION 1 SITE PLAN TO THE SITE PLAN SET TO INCLUDE THAT, I WANTED TO ADD THAT ON THE RECORD. STAFF, DO YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS? NO. AND EVERYTHING'S REFLECTED IN THE CONDITIONS. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. THAT CONCLUDES THIS APPLICATION, MISS HEINRICH, WE'RE READY FOR THE NEXT ITEM. MM26-0335. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MODIFICATION TO PD23-0257. TIM LAMPKIN WILL PROVIDE STAFF'S FINDINGS AFTER THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION HEARING MASTER: OKAY, APPLICANT PLEASE? MY APOLOGIES, I THOUGHT THERE WAS WITHIN BEFORE US.

HEARING MASTER: THERE WAS, BUT IT GOT CONTINUED.

RYAN MASSEY, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON THE SCREEN. MY ADDRESS IS 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE, SUITE 100, TAMPA, FLORIDA. WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT TO PRESENT ON A MAJOR MODIFICATION GENERALLY AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BLOOMINGDALE AVENUE AND PROVIDENCE ROAD. THE REQUEST REPLACES A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED 100 BED FACILITY, WITH OFFICE USES, 35 FEET IN HEIGHT. THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY A MIX OF COMMERCIAL, AND MULTIFAMILY USES. THE SMU-6 CATEGORY SPECIFICALLY CONTEMPLATES OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL USES. THE PROPOSED FAR OF 0.18 IS WELL BELOW THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED, WHICH IS AT .25. YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN, THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, WHICH OUR APPLICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH, AS ALSO OUTLINED IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT. NOW, THE SITE PLAN ZOOMED OUT IS ON THE LEFT, AND ZOOMED IN A LITTLE BIT FOR YOUR VIEW IS ON THE RIGHT. IT PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR DEVELOPMENT, WHILE MAINTAINING SUBSTANTIAL SET BACKS AND BUFFERING ON ALL SIDES. THE RED OUTLINE REPRESENTS THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY, THE LIGHTLY SHADED ORANGE AREA REPRESENTS THE BUILDABLE ENVELOPE. PORTIONS OF WHICH WILL BE UTILIZED FOR SITE CIRCULATION AND PARKING. THE PROJECT EXCEEDS TYPICAL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTH, PROVIDING ENHANCED SEPARATION FROM NEARBY RESIDENTIAL USES. YOU'LL SEE THOSE SETBACKS AND OUR HEIGHT IS TO THAT OF A RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF 35 FEET.

THE SITE IS WELL CONNECTED WITH MULTIPLE PROPOSED ACCESS POINTS, WHICH INCLUDE A SHARED CONNECTION TO BLOOMINGDALE AVENUE, AND DIRECT ACCESS TO CALVIN GEORGE PLACE ALLOWING FOR EFFICIENT CIRCULATION. THE SURROUNDING AREA, ALREADY INCLUDES HIGHER INTENSITY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING A FOUR STORY MULTIFAMILY PROJECT, AND THAT'S TO THE WEST. AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL USES ARE MORE TO THE SOUTH MAKING THIS PROPOSED OFFICE USE COMPATIBLE AND COMPARABLE WITH THE EXISTING BUILT ENVIRONMENT. REGARDING THE HEIGHT AND BUFFER, WE'RE SEEKING TO MODIFY THE 2 TO 1 RATIO. WE'RE LIMITING THE PROJECT TO 35 FEET IN HEIGHT, WHICH IS REMINISCENT OF THE RSC4 ZONING DISTRICT TO OUR NORTH. ALSO, WE FEEL THIS IS APPROPRIATE, BECAUSE THE ADJACENT PD TO THE WEST, ALLOWS FOR A HEIGHT UP TO 55 FEET. AND THEY'RE NOT HELD UP TO THE 2 TO 1 RATIO. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE STANDARD IN THIS CASE WOULD BE UNNECESSARY AND INCONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. ADDITIONALLY, STAFF HAS FOUND THE REQUEST TO BE SUPPORTABLE. NOW, REGARDING THE VARIATIONS, WE HAVE TWO VARIATIONS REQUESTED, VARIATION ONE TO THE WEST BUFFER, THAT'S THE 20 FOOT TYPE B, AND WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS A FIVE FOOT TYPE A. THE VARIATION IS JUSTIFIED BY THE SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURES. THE REDUCED BUILDING HEIGHT COMPARED TO THE ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT. COMPATIBILITY IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE DESIGN, MEETING ALL VARIATIONS CRITERIA. VARIATION 2 TO THE EAST BUFFER, THAT'S A 20 FOOT TYPE B TO A 10 FOOT TYPE B, ALSO ADDITIONALLY TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION THERE, IT'S A SMALL PORTION THAT'S A REQUEST FOR TYPE A, THAT'S

BECAUSE IT'S ADJACENT TO THE ACCESS -- TO THAT WALGREENS ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, AS WELL AS OUR INTERNAL CIRCULATION. EVEN WITH THE VARIATIONS, SUBSTANTIAL SEPARATION AND BUFFER REMAIN, ASSURING NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES. WHAT I DID ON THE SLIDE, I DIDN'T SOW YOU ON THE PREVIOUS ONE. THE BLUE ARROW SHOWS YOU THE DISTANCE SEPARATION I REFERENCED BETWEEN THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE ACTUAL BUILT BUILDING ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. AND OVER HERE TO THE EAST HAND SIDE. THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE TO THE NEAREST HOMES. THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNTY STAFF FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT AND IMPROVABLE. AND THE REQUESTED VARIATIONS, THE PROJECT IS SUBJECT TO THE STANDARD ZONING CONDITIONS, AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL CODES. IN CONCLUSION, THIS REQUEST REPRESENTS A THOUGHTFUL AND APPROPRIATE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE. IT REPLACES IT PREVIOUSLY, A 100 BED RESIDENTIAL FACILITY WITH OFFICE USE THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH SMU6 DESIGNATION. THE PROJECT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY DESIGNED TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING USES, IT PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT SET BACKS AND BUILDING SEPARATION, RANGING FROM APPROXIMATELY 95 FEET TO OVER 140 FEET, WHICH EXCEEDS WHAT IS TYPICALLY REQUIRED UNDER THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. THE REQUESTED VARIATIONS ARE LIMITED, FULLY JUSTIFIED AND MEET ALL REQUIRED CRITERIA, AS STAFF NOTED IN THE REPORT, COMPATIBILITY IS ACHIEVED THROUGH BUILDING PLACEMENT, HEIGHT RATHER THAN STRICT AD ADHERENCE TO THE BUFFER ALONE. THE PROJECT MAINTAINS THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ACCESS CONFIGURATION. WITH AN APPROVABLE ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE, AND THE NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING SITE PLAN

REVIEW. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND COUNTY STAFF HAVE FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND APPROVABLE. WE DID REACH A NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTHWEST OF OUR PROPERTY OWNER ON OUR NORTH SIDE ON THE EAST, REACHED OUT TO US SUNDAY WITH AN EMAIL ASKING ABOUT WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING. WE PROVIDED THE DETAIL THAT WE ARE DOING THE MAJOR MODIFICATION TO THIS USE, TO WHICH I GOT THIS RESPONSE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO RESPOND, WE'RE PLEASED. AND I'LL TURN THAT EMAIL INTO THE RECORD AS WELL. WITH THAT, I HAVE MY TEAM HERE WITH ME, CHRIS McNEIL IF THERE'S ANY TECH NICKAL OR TRANSPORTATION QUESTIONS. OTHER THAN THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY HEARING MASTER: NO, I'M GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR.

YES, SIR. HEARING MASTER: DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF?

GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, TIM LAMPKIN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. THE APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A MAJOR MODIFICATION, CURRENTLY IT'S APPROVED FOR COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL TYPE C WITH 100 BEDS, THE APP DOES NOT PROPOSE TO BRING THAT OPTION FORWARD, INSTEAD, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE A HEALTH PRACTITIONER'S OFFICE, AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SITES LOCATED ON THE NORTH OF BLOOMINGDALE AVENUE, AND WEST OF PROVIDENCE ROAD. THEY DID REQUEST PROVIDED JUSTIFICATION FOR RELIEF OF THE ADDITIONAL 2 FOR 1 SET BACK. AND THEY DID REQUEST THAT RELIEF WITH THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION. THEY'RE REQUESTING A COUPLE VARIATIONS THAT THEY WENT OVER. I CAN GO OVER THOSE IF YOU LIKE. AGAIN. THE VARIATIONS ARE TO THE BUFFERING AND THE SCREENING, NUMBER ONE IS REDUCE THE 20 FOOT WIDE BUFFER AND SCREENING REQUIRED ADJACENT TO THE SPECIFIC FOLIO. ON THE WEST PROPERTY BOUNDARY, IT'S A FIVE FOOT BUFFER WITH TYPE A SCREENING, THEY ALSO PROPOSED TO REDUCE 20 FOOT WIDE TYPE B ALONG THE EASTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY, TO 10 FOOT WITH TYPE B, THERE'S A SMALL AREA THEY'RE PROPOSING A TYPE A BUFFER FOR 19 LINEAR FEET. THE APPLICANT DID SUBMIT JUSTIFICATION WITH THEIR APPLICATION. A 20 FOOT BUFFER IS WITH TYPE B IS REQUIRED OFTEN THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY. APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 90 FOOT SET BACK AND PROPOSING THAT BOUNDARY. THE APPLICANT HAS NOT REQUESTED ANY OTHER VARIATIONS OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND BASED UPON THE ABOVE, STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST APPROVABLE.

UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. HEARING MASTER: PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.

TYREK ROYAL, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE PROPOSED OFFICE USE IS CONSISTENT WITH ALLOWABLE USES AND INTENSITY THRESHOLDS OF THE SMU6 CATEGORY. WITH SQUARE FOOTAGE WELL BELOW THE MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA RATIO, CONSISTENT WITH FLU GOAL 2 AND OBJECTIVE 1. FLU OBJECTIVE 3.1 AND POLICY 3.1.3 REQUIRING NEW DEVELOPMENT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE SUR ROUNGEDDING LAND USES. RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE NORTH AND EAST, BUT ALREADY INTEGRATED WITH NEARBY COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. GIVEN THIS ESTABLISHED TRANSITION, THE PROPOSED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, AND HAS NOT INTRODUCED A USE THAT IS OUT OF CHARACTER FOR THE CORRIDOR. PROPOSED MADE R MAJOR MODIFICATION, MAINTAINS COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, THEREFORE, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION? SEEING NO ONE RESPONDING. ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION? SEEING NO ONE RESPONDING STAFF, ANYTHING FURTHER? NO, SIR. HEARING MASTER: APPLICANT, ANYTHING FURTHER? NO, SIR. HEARING MASTER: THAT CONCLUDES THIS APPLICATION.

OUR NEXT APPLICATION IS D11, MAJOR MOD 26-0346, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO PD15-0079, SAM BALL HAS REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION. HEARING MASTER: APPLICANT, PLEASE?

ISABELLA ALBERT. I'M HERE WITH MR. MALLOY AND MR. GATES. HERE'S THE SITE, IT'S ABOUT 1.73 ACRES N THE RIVERVIEW COMMUNITY PLAN. IT'S ALSO LOCATED IN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA. IT IS PART OF OUR LARGER PLAN DEVELOPMENT, WHICH I WILL GO AND EXPLAIN WITH THE NEXT SLIDES. AND IT IS LOCATED IN THE SMU6 AND IT IS OFF OF GIBSONTON DRIVE AND U.S. 301 TO THE EAST. SO IT'S CURRENTLY APPROVED FOR 98 TOWNHOMES TOWARD THE REAR, IN THE FRONT THERE'S TWO PARCELS, WHICH ARE SEPARATED BY 125 FOOT WIDE TECO EASEMENT. PARCEL A IS RESTRICTED TO 2,000 BPO USES, INCLUDING A RESTAURANT AND TIRE REPAIR. RIGHT NOW IT'S TIRE KINGDOM. PARCEL B IS 12,000 SQUARE FOOT OF BPO USES, INCLUDING A BANK, THAT ARE LIMITED FOR THREE DRIVE THROUGH LANES. SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS THE PARCEL B, WHICH IS -- WE'RE REQUESTING TO ADD A 4,000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT AND EATING ESTABLISHMENT, WITH A -- EATING ESTABLISHMENT WITH ONE DRIVE THROUGH LANE. AND WE'RE ALSO LIMITING THE HOURS OF OPERATION. AND THE REASON WHY WE WENT THIS WAY IS TO ADDRESS THE COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS THAT WAS RAISED BY SOME OF THE STAFF WITH THE RESTAURANT WITH THE DRIVE THROUGH. AND WHAT WE WERE DOING IS THAT THIS RESTAURANT DRIVE THROUGH IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU WOULD TYPICALLY FIND LIKE A McDONALD'S OR BURGER KING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AND THE BEST

WAY TO DO THAT IS ADDRESS THE HOURS OF OPERATION. WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING AS PART OF THIS REQUEST, A WAIVER TO THE 150 FOOT -- TO THE 200 FOOT MINIMUM REQUIREMENT DISTANCE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTY FOR A CALL BOX. WE'RE PROVIDING 150 FOOT -- 100 -- IF YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE RETENTION POND TO THE NORTH, IT'S MORE LIKE 185 FEET. WE'VE ALSO INCREASED OUR WALL, THERE'S A SIX FOOT WALL, WE'RE INCREASING IT TO AN 8 FOOT WALL, AS WELL AS ADDING VEGETATION THERE, WE ALSO, FOR THE RESTAURANT INCREASED THE SET BACK FROM 20 TO 50 FEET. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE THOSE HOURS OF OPERATION. THIS IS CURRENTLY THE INTERSECTION. VERY RARELIDY SAY THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO REQUEST ANY DE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AND IT'S A LIGHTED INTERSECTION. AND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AS WELL AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND APPROVABLE WITH THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND THERE'S NO OBJECTIONS FROM REVIEWING AGENCIES, I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

HEARING MASTER: IS THE INTENT TO UTILIZE THE AREA BELOW THE TECO EASEMENT FOR ANY PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT? YES, SO THE BUILDING OBVIOUSLY IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE TECO EASEMENT, THIS IS PART OF THE 3rd DEED, WE'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE SOME PARKING WITHIN THAT AREA AND DRIVE AISLE. DOES DOES THE EASEMENT SPELL OUT THE ABILITY TO USE THE AREA BELOW THE POWER LINES FOR PARK SOMETHING.

IT SPELLS OUT THAT NO STRUCTURES ARE PERMITTED IN THE EASEMENT HARNZ OKAY. AND MR. MALLOY CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. HEARING MASTER: MR. MALLOY, IF YOU DON'T MIND COMING FORWARD FOR A MINUTE. WILLIAM MALLOY, SIR. HEARING MASTER: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MET WITH TECO OR READ THE EASEMENT, THROUGH ANY ISSUES WITH --

WE ACTUALLY STARTED THIS EXERCISE WITH TECO. GOING TO THEIR LAND USE COMMITTEE, I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED, JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD AN APPETITE FOR THE PROJECT. WE'VE BEEN BEFORE THE BOARD TWICE NOW. THEY HAVE AN APPETITE FOR IT. WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING TOWARD A PUBLIC PARTNER AGREEMENT THAN AN EASEMENT, IF EVERYTHING GOES CORRECTLY, LET US USE EVERYTHING UNDER THE POWER LINES FOR PARKING, PAYMENT. NO ACTIVITY, JUST PARKING AND PAVEMENT. HEARING MASTER: DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR TEAM'S PRESENTATION? YES, SIR. HEARING MASTER: DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF?

GOOD EVENING, SAM BALL WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO PD-150079 TO INCLUDE AN OPTION THAT WOULD ALLOW PARCEL B TO BE DEVELOPED FOR A SITDOWN RESTAURANT. THE PROPERTY IS APPROVED FOR SITE DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR UP TO 12,000 SQUARE FEET OF BPO, BANK, OR CREDIT UNION. THE PROPERTY COVERS 1.73 ACRES, IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF GIBSONTON DRIVE AND A ALAFIA TRACE BOULEVARD. IF APPROVED, SITE DEVELOPMENT WOULD INCLUDE THE OPTION FOR THE 4,000 SQUARE FOOT SITDOWN RESTAURANT THROUGH FACILITY USE, TO MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT USE ON THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING LIMITED HOURS FROM 10:30 A.M., TO 9:30 P.M. DRIVE THROUGH FACILITIES WOULD BE LIMITED TO ONE LANE. A 50 FOOT SET BACK WITH A 20 FOOT ENHANCED BUFFER, THE ENHANCEMENTS WOULD INCLUDE AN 8 FOOT HIGH PRECAST MASONRY WALL, WITH A ROW OF EVERGREEN SHADE TREES TO ALLOW FOR THE 8 FOOT TALL MASONRY WALL. THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A VARIATION TO EXCEED THE SIX FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT. BASED ON THE SURROUNDING ZONING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST APPROVABLE. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF?

TYREK ROYAL, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, THE SITE IS DESIGNATED SMU-6, WHICH INCLUDES OFFICE AND NEIGHBORHOOD USES, INCLUDING RESTAURANTS. IT PROMOTES RESTAURANT USE, CONSISTENT WITH ALLOWABLE USE, PERMITTED UNDER THE SMU-6 CATEGORY. THE PROPOSED 4,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING IS WELL BELOW THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FLOOR AREA. BASED ON THE SITE RATIO. FLU OBJECTIVE 3.1 AND 3.1.3 REQUIRE TO BE SENSITIVE TO SURROUNDING AREAS NOT DUPLICATE. THERE'S A STARBUCKS AND TIRE KINGDOM NEARBY. AS WELL AS MULTIFAMILY AND TOWNHOMES TO THE NORTHWEST. THIS PATTERN INCREASINGLY COMMERCIAL USES ALONG THE CORRIDOR, MAKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING RESTAURANT. FLU OBJECTIVE 4.4 REQUIRED THE PATTERN TO BE -- THE APPLICANT HAS ENHANCED MEASURES, INCLUDING AN 8 FOOT WALL. INCREASED SETBACKS TO 50 FEET, AND SEPARATION OF THE DRIVE THROUGH ORDER POINT, DUE TO AN INTERVENING HOA DRAINAGE FEATURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROPOSED OPERATION HOURS ARE 10:30 TO 9:30 P.M. HELPING TO REDUCE LATE NIGHT NOISE AND IMPACTS. THIS REQUIRES ADEQUATE MITIGATION MEASURES. OVER ALL, STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION? SEEING NO ONE RESPONDING. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION? WE HAVE FOUR VIRTUAL ONLINE? MR. LOPEZ, YOU CAN GO FIRST.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY NAME IS DAVID LOPEZ, I'M THE ATTORNEY FOR THE LANDINGS AT ALAFIA TRACE. WHICH IS LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE PARCEL B, WHERE THE PROPOSED -- THE APPLICATION IS DIRECTED. WE ALSO HAVE PRESENT OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION HERE TODAY WHO I'M SURE ARE GOING TO WANT TO SPEAK AND SHARE THEIR OPINIONS. ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION, THE ONE THING I WANTED TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT HERE, AND IT WASN'T MENTIONED IN ANYBODY'S PRESENTATION THUS FAR, WAS THAT THE ONLY ACCESS POINT TO THIS PARCEL IS OFF OF ALAFIA TRACE BOULEVARD, WHICH IS PERPEN DICK U LAR TO GIBSONTON DRIVE.

I'M SORRY, CAN I HAVE YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE? 201 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602. HEARING MASTER: OKAY. YOU CAN PROCEED.

OKAY, THANK YOU. AND THERE ARE NO ACCESS POINTS OFF OF GIBSONTON INTO THIS PARCEL, ONLY OFF ALAFIA TRACE BOULEVARD. THAT PROPERTY IS IN FACT OWNED BY THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION. IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY. THERE'S AN EASEMENT HERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING A USE TO THIS PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD PERMIT MUCH MORE HEAVY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ACROSS IT THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY PREDICTED. OR - WHAT THE RESULT WOULD BE, THIS IS A STRETCH OF ROAD THAT THE ASSOCIATION IS MANDATED BY ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS TO MAINTAIN, APPROXIMATELY 100 UNITS OR 100 PARCELS ARE LOCATED IN THAT HOA, JUST NORTH OF THIS PARCEL, WHICH MEANS THAT ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE WILL BEAR THE BRUNT OF ADDED ROAD MAINTENANCE EXPENSES THAT WILL NECESSARILY COME ABOUT. WITH INCREASED TRAFFIC, INCREASED VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. WHAT THIS DOES, IF THIS IS EVENTUALLY APPROVED, IS IT GUARANTEES THAT THOSE 100 PARCELS WILL, BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED TRAFFIC, WINED UP PAYING MORE IN HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION ASSESSMENTS, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THIS ROAD, WHICH THEY ARE BOUND TO DO SO BY AN OPTION TO NOT PAY THE HAVE - ASSESSMENTS, THEY HAVE TO DO THAT ACCORDING TO LAW. IF IT DOESN'T -- IF ITS NOT PAID BY THE HOMEOWNERS, IT'S SUBJECT TO LIEN AND FORECLOSURE, WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, IF IT'S APPROVED, IS GUARANTEEING AN INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT RATES FOR THOSE OWNERS, BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED TRAFFIC WHICH WILL TRIGGER INCREASED ROAD MAINTENANCE, WHICH WILL COST MORE MONEY. THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION IS OPPOSING THIS APPLICATION, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A USE THAT YIELDS MUCH HIGHER VEHICULAR TRAFFIC

THAN IS CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED, SO THAT'S -- THE MAIN BASIS FOR THE HOA'S OBJECTION, NOT TO MENTION THE -- HEARING MASTER: IF I COULD ASK YOU, IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE HOA DOCS THAT TALKS ABOUT COST SHARING OR MAINTENANCE OF THE ROAD?

THERE IS A USE AND EASEMENT AND FEE SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ASSOCIATION THAT WAS ENTERED INTO ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION BY THE DEVELOPER MANY YEARS AGO, AND IT COVERS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOA AND THE OWNERS OF PARCEL B. AND ANOTHER PARCEL, WHICH WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, THAT IS ACROSS ALAFIA PARCEL A, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS A TIRE KINGDOM SITTING ON IT NOW, THERE IS A FEE SHARING AGREEMENT PRESENT THAT REQUIRES THE OWNERS OF THOSE TWO PARCELS TO PAY A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE RAD MAINTENANCE FOR THE ASSOCIATION. EVEN WITH THAT, THE INCREASE IN VEHICULAR TRAFFIC WILL UNDOUBTEDLY AND UNAVOIDLY STILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION ASSESSMENTS TO THOSE NEARLY 100 LOT OWNERS THAT MAKE THEIR HOME JUST TO THE NORTH OF THAT. SO EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PERCENTAGE, WHICH THOSE PARCEL OWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ROAD MAINTENANCE, ULTIMATELY, THE COST OF IT, THE LION'S SHARE OF THE COST WILL BE BORN BY THOSE 100 OR SO UNIT OWNERS IN THE HOA.

HEARING MASTER: IS THERE ANY AVENUE, PROCESS THAT CAN BE PURSUED TO MEET WITH THIS MEMBER OF THE HOA, TO RESTRUCTURE THE LANGUAGE IN THE HOA DOCS?

WELL, SIR, THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE HOA, THESE TWO PARCELS SIT OUTSIDE THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE HOA. IT'S AN EASEMENT AND FEE SHARING AGREEMENT THAT EXISTS, BETWEEN WHOEVER OWNS THE PROPERTY, AND THE HOA, SO THAT EXISTING INDEPENDENT OF THE COVENANTS. GOT YOU, IS THERE ANYWAY, ANY AVENUE IN THAT SEPARATE ACCESS EASEMENT AGREEMENT TO GO BACK AND RESTRUCTURE? THE COST SHARE SOMETHING.

WELL, I CAN'T SPECULATE AS TO THAT, SIR. THAT WOULD BE -- THAT WOULD HAVE TO INVOLVE THE TWO PARTIES SPEAKING TOGETHER TO SEE IF IN WAS A WAY TO DO IT. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT BEEN DONE THAT'S NOT BEEN APPROACHED BY THE OWNER TO MAKE A MORE EQUITABLE AGREEMENT I CAN'T SPECULATE AS TO WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT HOLD THERE. HEARING MASTER: OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, SIR. THANK YOU, WE HAVE SOME OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION AD BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE PRESENT. HEARING MASTER: VERY GOOD. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE?

HELLO, MY NAME IS SHAMIA FRANCIS, MY ADDRESS IS 9501TOPOBAGO LANDING. I'M HERE AS A MEMBER OF THE HOA. WE OPPOSE THIS MAJOR MODIFICATION, BEFORE I GO THERE, A QUESTION THAT YOU ASKED OUR ATTORNEY IN REFERENCE TO THE COST SHARING, THIS APPLICATION PRESENTED BY PARCEL B IS ALSO THE SAME OWNER, WHICH IS THE DEVELOPER OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO GAVE US AN UNCONSCIONABLE COST SHARING AGREEMENT, WHICH HAS BURDENED US AS THE 96 TO 98 OWNERS OF THE COMMUNITY. TO GET BACK TO MAKING SURE I DON'T GET OUT OF TIME. WE OPPOSE THE MAJOR MODIFICATION, BECAUSE IT FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED. AND PLACED MORE INTENSE COMMERCIAL USE DIRECTLY NEXT TO OUR ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY. THIS IS NOT JUST A MINOR ADJUSTMENT, THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT LIMITED THIS PARCEL TO OFFICE USE AND/OR BANK OR CREDIT UNION, AND SPECIFICALLY PROHIBIT THE DRIVE THROUGH LANES SPECIFICALLY ONLY FOR THE BANK DRIVE THROUGH. WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED NOW IS A SITDOWN RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH. THIS IS A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE, AND INTRUSIVE USE. VEHICLE NOISE, SPEAKER NOISE, LONGER DWELLING, IDLE TIME, EXTENDED HOURS, INCLUDING EVENINGS AND THE WEEKEND. THE CHANGE ALONE ON THE BASIS OF THE PD. WHAT MAKES THIS MORE CONCERNING, IS THAT THE REQUEST RELIES ON MULTIPLE WAIVERS TO MAKE THE

HIGHER INTRUSIVE USE FIT. THIS APPLICATION ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE SITE DOES NOT MEET THE COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA YET IT IS ASKING THE BOARD TO OVERRIDE THAT REQUIREMENT. SPECIFICALLY THE SET BACK OF 150 AND TRYING TO USE THE BOUNDARIES WITHIN OUR BORDERS FOR AN ADDITIONAL TO MAKE IT UP TO 185, AND WITH THE SET BACK BEING AT 50, WHICH IS CLOSE TORE OUR WALLS. THIS CLEARLY INDICATES THE SITE WAS NO INTENDED FOR THE LEVEL OF COMMERCIAL INTENSITY. IN ADDITION, THEY ARE REQUESTING TO REDUCE -- BASICALLY SEPARATE, THEY WANT ONE DRIVE THROUGH, BUT IT'S TOO CLOSE TO OUR FENCE AS WE STATED IS GOING TO HAVE LOUD NOISES, SPEAKER SYSTEM, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IDLE CARS. WE'RE ASKING TO REDUCE THE PROTECTION, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY INCREASING THE INTENSE USE. THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOOD PLANNING REQUIRES. WE ARE ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE JUSTIFICATION OFFER WTH THE TECO EASEMENTS AND MAYBE POSSIBLE CHANGES. THIS IS NOT A HARDSHIP, IT'S CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PROPERTY. IF THE SITE CANNOT COMPLY WITH THIS USE, THEN THE APPROPRIATE CONCLUSION IS THAT THIS USE DOES NOT BELONG ON THIS SITE. THE COMPARISON OF THE BANK WITH THE DRIVE THOUGH LANE IS ALSO MISLEADING. THE BANK IS FUNDAMENTAL BUSINESS, DOES NOT GENERATE SMOKE, FOOD ODORS OR ADDITIONAL TRASH ON EXCESS FOOT TRAFFIC. A RESTAURANT DRIVER OPERATE

CONTINUOUSLY, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS, PEAK MEAL TIMES WHILE STACKING VEHICLES, NOISE, EMISSIONS AND OTHER CONCERNS, THE IMPACTS ARE NOT COMPARABLE. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN REAL LIFE EFFECTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, THAT IS IMMEDIATE TO OUR AREA. NEARBY, WE HAVE THE TIRE KINGDOM, WHICH IS REPRESENTED AS PARCEL E, AND THEN WE HAVE PARCEL B, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO. AT THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STARBUCKS -- AT THE OTHER END OF THE TIRE KINGDOM, A STARBUCKS WAS BUILT, AND THEY ARE NOT PAYING COST SHARING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WE HAVE EXCESS TRAFFIC, IT'S CONGESTION, CIRCULATION ISSUE, OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. IT'S HARD TO ENTER AND EXIT OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S SO BACKED OUT, IT TAKES US 5 TO 10 MINUTES TO GET OUT OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE THE BACK GATE IS ONLY FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES. THIS PROPOSAL WILL INTENSIFY THE SAME IMPACTS, AND BRING THEM CLOSER TO OUR HOME. THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL RELY ON OUR PRIVATE ROAD ONCE AGAIN, THAT IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING CONGESTION FROM THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL USE LIKE STARBUCKS AND TIRE KINGDOM. THE ROAD IS THE ONLY POINT OF INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR OUR RESIDENTS. IT'S ALREADY CAUSED DELAYS AND FRUSTRATIONS FOR RESIDENTS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER OUR COMMUNITY. INCREASING CONGESTION, ACCIDENTS AND LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERNS, ADDITIONALLY, BY APPROVING ANY CHANGES AS OUR ATTORNEY STATED.

WE WILL HAVE MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR ROADS, AND IN TURN WE WILL HAVE MORE COST FOR THE 100 HOMEOWNERS, VERSUS ALL THE BUSINESSES ATTACHED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, THAT ARE UTILIZING OUR ROADS MORE THAN US. AT ITS CORE, THE REQUEST -- THE BOARD -- THEY'RE REQUESTING -- THIS REQUEST ASKS THE BOARD TO ALLOW A MORE INTENSE USE OF THE ORIGINAL APPROVED AREA. TO RELAX MULTIPLE STANDARDS, DESIGNED TO PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS, AND SHIFT THE EXISTING IMPACTS ON TO THE COMMUNITY. THE LANDINGS AT ALAFIA TRACE. FOR THIS REASON, THIS MAJOR MODIFICATION IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND SHOULD BE DENIED.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? THE NEXT IS MR. EDWIN.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, MY NAME IS EDWIN GAINES, JR. 9517TOPOGAYA PLACE. THE INCREASED TRAFFIC CONGESTION WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS LACK OF EQUITABLE FINANCIAL SUPPORT PLACES AN UNDUE BURDEN ON THE RESIDENTS THAT MUST COVER THE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPKEEP AND LANDSCAPING. SAFETY IS ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THE PRESENCE OF UNFAMILIAR VEHICLES, ACCESSING UNFAMILIAR BUSINESSES THROUGH OUR ROADS, PARTICULARLY WITH UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THIS TRAFFIC. AND WE'RE BASICALLY, WE'RE HOPING OUR PRIVATE ROAD DOESN'T TURN INTO A FULL TIME DRIVE THROUGH. THIS IS WHY WE'RE SO OPPOSED TO IT.

HEARING MASTER: THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? I BELIEVE THE LAST ONE IS DR. LAURA.

YES. GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS DR. LAURA HAUSSER. I LIVE AT 9515 TOPABOGA PLACE IN RIVERVIEW, I'M ONE OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AT LANDING AT ALAFIA TRACE. YOU'VE HEARD DISCUSSIONS THAT THIS IS A MUCH MORE INTENSE USE, WE ONLY HAVE THAT ONE USABLE EXIT. I THINK THE DELAY IS CLOSER TO 10 TO 20 MINUTES DURING PEAK TRAFFIC HOURS. IT CAN TAKE 30 MINUTES TO GO FROM OUR LIGHT TO THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNING. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR VEHICLES TO CUE AND BLOCK ACCESS TO THE ROAD AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE COUNTY'S OWN TRANSPORTATION REVIEW STATES THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SITE SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY AND COMMON VEHICULAR USE AREAS WILL NOT BE BLOCKED BY VEHICLE STACKING. AND WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE ACCESS POINT, THAT'S BLOCKING OUR ONLY WAY IN AND OUT THE COUNTY ALSO SHOWS THAT THE TRAFFIC WOULD INCREASE ALMOST 30%, AN ADDITIONAL 402 TRIPS PER DAY. AND AGAIN, THAT'S A PRIVATE TWO-LANE ROAD THAT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO ABSORB ADDITIONAL DRIVE THROUGH TRAFFIC AND CUEING. OTHERS MENTIONED THE FACT THAT WE BEAR THE COST OF MAINTAINING THAT ROAD. WE ALSO MAINTAIN THE COST OF REPAIRING THE DAMAGE. TIRE KINGDOM USES OUR COMMUNITY TO TEST DRIVE CARS AFTER THEY FIX THEM, EVEN THOUGH WE ASK THEM NOT TO.

STARBUCKS, THEY TRY TO CUT THROUGH OUR PROPERTY TO GET -- BY PASS ALL THE TRAFFIC AT THE LIGHT, ONLY TO FIND THEY CAN'T GET OUT, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO DRIVE OVER OUR LANDSCAPING AND DAMAGE THAT TO TURN AROUND AND GET BACK OUT. TREES HAVE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN DUE TO CAR ACCIDENTS, IT'S UP TO TO US TAKE CARE OF THAT. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DRIVE THROUGH BEING CLOSER TO THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. THE DEVELOPER MADE IT SOUND LIKE WE HAD A HUGE RETENTION POND RIGHT THERE, AND WE DON'T. IT'S IN THE BACK OF OUR PROPERTY. THIS DRIVE THROUGH WOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO SEVERAL HOMES THERE ON THE EDGE. IF YOU REDUCE THAT, THESE STANDARDS -- PANHANDLING, AND OTHER DISTURBANCES, WE TALKED ABOUT THE BURDEN THAT THAT PLACES DIRECTLY ON OUR HOMES I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT THEY CALL THIS A SITDOWN RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH BUT ALL OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS EVALUATES IT AS A 4,000 SQUARE FOOT FAST FOOD WITH DRIVE THROUGH. SO APPROVAL OF THIS OPENS THE DOOR FOR THEM TO COME BACK LATER AND TURN THIS INTO MORE OF A REAL FAST FOOD, POTENTIALLY 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, AND FOR YOUR OFFICE TO ARGUE, THAT'S NOT A BIG LEAP FROM WHAT IT IS. THIS REQUEST IS NOT ABOUT ONE BUSINESS, IT'S ABOUT THE LONG

TERM EFFECT ON NEIGHBORHOOD ACCESS, SAFETY, NOISE, TRAFFIC AND FAIRNESS TO THE RESIDENTS WHO ALREADY BEAR TE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ABSORB THE ADDITIONAL CONGESTION, COST AND RISK, BECAUSE THE APPLICANT NOW WISHES TO INTENSIFIES A USE THAN IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE WERE ORIGINALLY TOLD TO EXPECT. FOR THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THIS REQUEST BE DENIED.

HEARING MASTER: OKAY. THANK YOU MA'AM. I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDES ALL THOSE THAT ARE ON LINE. THAT WANTED TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM TONIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION? I SEE NO ONE RESPONDING. WITH THAT, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES? ANY COMMENTS? I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENTS. I DON'T KNOW IF TRANSPORTATION DOES. I KNOW SOME ACCESS ISSUES CAME UP, AND POSSIBLY SOME EASEMENT ISSUES. OKAY.

JESSICA COWAL, WITH TRANSPORTATION REVIEW. AS THE ONE LADY STATED, THE TRANSPORTATION STAFF REPORT DOES MENTION A CONCERN WITH THE CUEING, IT WAS NOT CUEING IN GENERAL. THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED A MAXIMUM CUEING LENGTH OF 150 FEET. WHICH STAFF HAD CONCERNS ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF DETAIL ON THE PD ZONING PLAN. HAD WE HAD MORE INFORMATION, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ASSESS THESE IMPACTS AND BE ABLE TO MAKE A CLEAR DECISION. THE STATEMENT WAS PUT THERE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE APPLICANT DID PROPOSE SOMETHING STAFF DID NOT AGREE TO AT THIS POINT IN TIME. REGARDING THE OTHER TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, THE PROPOSAL FOR THE 4,000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT, OUR ITE DOES NOT HAVE A LANT USE CODE THAT IS APPLICABLE FOR A SITDOWN RESTAURANT THE WITH A DRIVE THROUGH, THEREFORE WE DID ASSESS IT AS THE MAXIMUM IMPACT AS A 4,000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT WHICH IS FOOT FOOD WITH A DRIVE THROUGH. THE APPLICANT DID PROPOSE RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH, THEREFORE, THAT'S WHY WE RAN THE NUMBERS THE WAY WE DID. TO CLARIFY, THE APPLICANT IS RETAINING THE OPTION ON THIS PARCEL WITH THIS AS AN ADDITIONAL OPTION AND IT DOES SHOW A LITTLE INCREASE IN THE DAILY TRIPS, NO CHANGE, ACTUALLY A REDUCTION IN TRIPS IN THE P.M. PEAK HOUR, THERE WILL BE A COMPARABLE APPLICATION OF THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, ALTHOUGH WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE CUEING IS A CONCERN, NOT ONLY FOR STAFF, BUT THE CITIZENS AND THE PEOPLE LOCATED THERE. I DID CHECK THE PLAT, AND IT APPEARS THE ROAD IS PROPERTY OWNER'S ASSOCIATION, NOT SPECIFICALLY HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION.

WHICH IS OURS. HOWEVER, THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD ASSUME WAS THOUGHT OF WHEN THIS PROPERTY WAS SUBDIVIDED FOR THE COMMERCIAL USES UP FRONT, AND THE RESIDENTIAL IN THE REAR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU. HEARING MASTER: THE APPLICANT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. WILLIAM MALLOY, I'M GOING TO BE QUICK SO MR. YATES CAN SPEAK TO OUR TRANSPORTATION STUFF. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ON THIS, WE ARE NOT AWARE WE HAD OPPOSITION, THAT WAS A NEW DISCOVERY THIS EVENING. WE WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT A LITTLE MORE APPROPRIATELY, IF WE HAD TIME. THIS PROJECT CAME IN AS ONE PD. THE TOWNHOMES, THE TWO COMMERCIAL OUT PARCELS WITH THE TECO EASEMENT CROSSING IT, THE DRIVE THROUGH IS NOT A NEW USE, IT'S APPROVED FOR A BANK WITH THREE DRIVE-THRUS, THAT SIDEWALK BOX WAS GOING TO EXIST IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER. THAT WAS AN APPROVED USE. WHEN I SPOKE EARLIER, I MENTIONED WE STARTED WITH TECO. THE SECOND POINT WE STARTED WITH WAS THAT SIDEWALK BOX. AND I THINK THE PROGRAM WE CAME UP WITH IS PRETTY -- IT'S CAREFUL AND CONSIDERATE, THE 8 FOOT WALL, THE WATER BARRIER, THE TREES BETWEEN THE RESTAURANT AND COMMUNITY. ALL THAT BEING SAID, I THINK MR. YATES NEEDS TO SPEAK TO THE TRAFFIC.

GOOD EVENING, MICHAEL YATES WITH PALM TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN SWORN. I THINK THIS MAY HELP IN GIVING A LITTLE CLARITY. THIS WAS CONTAINED WITHIN THE TRAFFIC STUDY, IT'S A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT FOR THE SITE, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE GENERAL PLAN WE'RE WORKING WITH, THE TECO EASEMENT WILL RUN ALONG HERE, THE BUILDING IS OUTSIDE THE TECO EASEMENT. THE LOWER SECTION IS FOR PARKING. THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE HAD WITH TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND THE COUNTY ENGINEER IS TO WHEN WE COME IN TO FULLY EVALUATE THIS SITE, WE CAN RUN THE CUEING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AS AN ALTERNATIVE BACKUP SCENARIO, IF THE CUES TEND TO GET LONGER, WE'RE WORKING WITH STAFF IN DEVELOPING A CUE EVALUATION PROCEDURE, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD TO ENSURE THAT THE CUE DOES NOT LEAVE THE SITE. SO THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE, TO ADDRESS THE CUE AND TO ENSURE IT DOES NOT LEAVE THE SITE.

HEARING MASTER: WHEN YOU GO THROUGH SITE DEVELOPMENT, AND YOU WORK WITH TRANSPORTATION STAFF, DO THEY WEIGH-IN ON THE CUE? 100%, AND VERY SPECIFIC. IT IS A VERY DETAILED REVIEW, AND VERY CAREFUL TO ENSURE THAT CUE DOES NOT LEAVE THE SITE. AND IF YOU COME IN WITH A LAYOUT THAT DOESN'T WORK? WE WILL BE TOLD THAT. HEARING MASTER: YOU WILL BE TOLD IT WASN'T WORK, AND THEY COULD DENY YOUR APPLICATION? CORRECT.

CORRECT, WE WILL ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT STAFF IS COMFORTABLE WITH THE CUE LAYOUT, AND WE WILL HAVE TO COMMIT TO THAT DURING SITE REVIEW THAT ENSURES THAT THAT SITE DOES NOT BLOCK ANY OF THE ACCESS OR THE OPERATIONS OF THE ADJACENT FACILITY.

THAT WAS IT, I KNOW JESSICA COVERED THE TRANSPORTATION WHERE THE A.M. AND P.M. TRIPS AS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT IS A WASH ON TRIPS FROM THE CURRENT APPROVED USES, SO FROM A TRANSPORTATION PERSPECTIVE, IT SHOULD BE A VERY SIMILAR USE FROM WHAT IS APPROVED TODAY, I'LL LET ISABEL FINISH UP.

THANK YOU, FOR THE RECORD, ISABELLA ALBERT. THEY DID NOT OBJECT TO THE USE, THE CONCERN WAS THE CUEING. THE REASON WE HAD THE CUEING IN THERE, YOU COULD SEE A SITDOWN RESTAURANT LIKE SONNY'S, THEY'RE A SITDOWN RESTAURANT. THEY HAVE THE DRIVE THROUGH LANE, JUST LIMITED TO ONE, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT A HIGHLY USED -- IT'S NOT PART OF THEIR MAIN BUSINESS. THEIR MAIN BUSINESS IS A SITDOWN RESTAURANT AND YOU HAVE THAT ONE YOU USE SONNY'S AS AN EXAMPLE, BUT COULD IT BE McDONALD'S? COULD IT BE BURGER KING?

NO, THEIR CUEING LANES USUALLY ACCOMMODATE MORE THAN 8 TO 10 CARS, THIS IS LIKE 5, 6 CARS. IT REALLY IS HALF, AND THE HOURS OF OPERATION, WHICH ARE A PART OF THE CONDITIONS, SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE 24 HOURS, IT'S PART OF A CONDITION THAT STARTS AT 10:30 TO 9:00 AT NIGHT. THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS MODEL FOR TYPICAL FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS YOU SEE. SO AGAN, WE WERE THINKING ABOUT THE RESIDENTS AND TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE BY INCREASING THE BUFFERS AND THE WALL HEIGHT, BUT WE'RE NOT WAIVING ANYTHING FROM THE PLAN EXCEPT THAT 150 FOOT CALL BOX IS MITIGATED WITH THE ADDITIONAL SCREENING AND BUFFERING THAT WE'VE DONE

HEARING MASTER: OKAY. IF I COULD ASK STAFF REAL QUICK. ABSOLUTELY. HEARING MASTER: THE QUESTION I ASKED IS, THEIR EXAMPLE SHOWED SONNIES, BUT WOULD THE CONDITIONS YOU RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL, WOULD IT ALLOW FOR A McDONALD'S, BURGER KING OR TACO BELL? I WOULD NOT. HEARING MASTER: ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? NO. HEARING MASTER: MR. MALLOY? WE'RE GOOD IF YOU ARE. HEARING MASTER: YOU'RE GOOD? YES, SIR.

HEARING MASTER: WITH THAT, THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THERE APPLICATION. THAT CONCLUDES THIS CASE. AND THAT CONCLUDES TONIGHT'S ZONING HEARING MASTER HEARING. WE ARE ADJOURNED.
