Like to call to order the planning commission meeting of Tuesday, June 24th, 2025. Madam Secretary, call the role, please. Chairman Coutuli, here. Commissioner Bellamy, Commissioner Edwards, Commissioner Goses, present. Commissioner Horton, present. Commissioner Prince, present. Commissioner Wise, chairman, you have a quorum. Thank you, Suzanne. Um, we don't have any communications tonight. That means I'll need approval of the meeting minutes for May 20 meeting. So

move second. All those in favor? I opposed. I have no old business. Item 6A, new business. We have item 6A, annexation and zoning designation Z257, which follows a recorded pre-anexation agreement located on Riverside Drive. Uh, city staff has initiated the process to annex this property um, which is approximately 0.94 acres. The lot is currently unincorporated and zoned manufactured single family 10 by Orie County. Uh this petition is requesting the zoning district R1. Um we did discuss this earlier in workshop, but just go over some key points. Um the proposed R1 zoning is consistent with the 2018 comprehensive plan. Um and there were no issues at the staff level. Uh if you choose to forward to city council recommendations of approval, um I do recommend option A where necessary to implement the comprehensive plan uh being the most relevant to the request. Anyone on the commission have any comments or questions about this item? Anyone from the public have any comments or questions? No one's there. Okay. Um, then I'll entertain a motion to approve. Mr. Chairman, I move the planning commission recommend approval of the annexation and zoning petition

Z25-7 as submitted. Second. All those in favor? I I posted I have it. Okay. Item 6B is zoning ordinance text amendment ZTX25-5. This amendment revises the display of outdoor merchandise in our zoning code. Um, you can see on the screen the it removes the text in full and replaces it with outdoor displays shall be limited to an area in front of the building not exceeding a length of 20% of the linear footage of the building frontage and a depth not exceeding 10 ft extending out from the building front. All goods or merchandise displayed or stored outside of a building shall be so arranged do not obstruct walkways, doorways, parking lots or required landscape areas. Um, no. Then the next three sections are basically retained from the old ordinance. No outdoor display or storage of goods or merchandise whatsoever may occur in association with an indoor flea market as regulated in article 2 section 23262 of this chapter. And for outdoor storage regulations concerning developments of regional significance C section 23-129.57 and then exemptions. The following uses are exempt from the requirements of this chapter as specified above but remain subject to compliance with all other provisions of this title. Automobiles, boats, golf carts, bicycles, recreation vehicles, and other transportation vehicles where such as for sale as a principal use. Oil and other automobile products located within the pump area at full service gasoline stations. Live nursery products, prepackaged lawn garden and landscape items such as top soil, fertilizer, mulch, stone, and gravel excluding to tools and equipment

displayed outside. outdoor furniture, landscape and work trailers, storage sheds, prepackaged firewood, newspaper dispensers, vending machines, and Christmas trees from November 1st to 31st. Any comments or questions about this item from the commissioners? I think I think this is a very good change. Um, over the last few years, I think our merchants and our business community along with the city has worked to have a very clean and uh, commercial environment and I think this is a great improvement. I do have a question. Does this have any impact on restaurants for example if they want to put tables on sidewalks or how does that work? That's a different regulation I believe completely and like Main Street they follow as long as it's an area that's not required for parking doesn't really affect that. Any other questions, comments? Anyone from the public? Hi, Harry. No, no one from the Okay, I'll entertain a motion to approve. I move that the planning commission recommend approval of the zoning ordinance text amendment ZTX-25-5 as submitted. Second. All those in favor I posted eyes have it. The next item,

this is a 6C major PDD amendment Z25-8. This is an application for a major amendment to the Parkway Group. This adds a 7-Eleven store at the Palmetto Coast Industrial Park. Um, we have an out parcel lot. It's located adjacent to phases four and five in the Pomemetto Coast Industrial Park. Um, it's for the sale of retail goods and gasoline. There are two driveways that access the site from Water Tower Road, which has deceleration lanes. There's a front canopy that's aimed at passenger cars with 25 parking spaces and then a rear canopy for larger trucks, excuse me, and diesel fuel. Um, we discussed this this morning at a workshop. You kind of see the the upper property line of the parcel here. These driveway locations that we approved from the PCIP, those were in the last amendment. Um, this is really the only part that's being amended at this with this amendment, this outpersonal lot. And those driveway locations were set up to provide access to parcels across the street. We have um they've included landscape plan, lighting, the full elevations. This goes with the low country architectural style, coastal architectural have um signage provided as well. There there were no comments from staff at this point. Excuse me.

There any questions by the commission on this project? I think we discussed it pretty thoroughly this morning and it's I believe it's definitely a needed service in that area right now and uh I like the architecture. I think that's going to be plus as well. It seems to have a more modern, subtle look to it. Have any comments by the public? No comments? Last chance for comments. Nothing. Okay. Motion approve. I move the planning commission recommend approval of the major plan development district amendment to parkway group BDD Z25-8 as submitted. Second. Okay. All those in favor? I posted it. And the last item on our agenda is a major B final bonded plat of subdivision for 140 residential lots and private rights of way in phase two of the Lorett tract. Um we spoke about this um track this morning. Um these are all uh intended for the construction of town home residents. Smallest lot is 3842 square feet and the density is 6.04 dwelling units per acre. Um the setbacks conform to the R2A zoning district and the plaque creates Fairfax Drive and Hardington Drive. Um all roadways have been reviewed to meet our standards and their 50 ft wide private rights of way.

Everything substantially consistent with the preliminary plat. And then we have a financial guarantee. The amount has been approved in the uh for $4,152,97549. And that would be provided to us as a performance bond upon approval. And staff has no comments on this plat. Comments. Question by the mission. How much of a buffer is there between the back of these lots and the properties between them and Route 90? Route 90. Yeah. Well, the the the tracks that back up to there.

Wharton. Wharton. Those properties. Which ones? The ones? Yeah, those on the back right where you're Yeah. Oh, there's Yep. There's no buffer here above. Sorry, there's a ditch drainage ement there, a county drainage easement that forms the rear of those lots. 20 foot private, but it's not dedicated as a separate parcel for a buffer. It can't be. It's going to be a drainage. Oh, yeah. Other
