GOOD EVENING. I'M ANNA SAUNDERS WITH BSE CONSULTANTS.
THE STAFF REPORT WAS VERY THOROUGH.
AS USUAL, ONE THING I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PARKWAY AND EMERSON, THE INTERSECTION, THE SIGNALIZATION DESIGN PLANS, ARE ACTUALLY IN PROCESS RIGHT NOW THROUGH THE CITY EFFORT.
SO THE SIGNALIZATION OF THAT INTERSECTION IS, I BELIEVE THEY THINK CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE COMPLETE OR THEY HAD INITIALLY TARGETED IT TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT CERTAINLY BEFORE THIS PROJECT WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED.
BUT JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.
WE ARE FINE WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS AND THE COMMENTS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
THERE'S NO NO ISSUES ON OUR BEHALF.
I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS ONE OF POTENTIALLY TWO FUEL SERVICE STATIONS THAT WILL BE ALLOWED ON THIS INTERSECTION PER COUNTY CITY CODE AND JUST RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

THANK YOU. WELL, THE APPLICANT OR THE REPRESENTATIVE, PLEASE APPROACH THE MICROPHONE.
MADAM CHAIRWOMAN, MY NAME IS JACK SPIRA.
AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT ADDRESS IS 505 BABCOCK STREET.
REPRESENT CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT.
WHO'S THE APPLICANT? AS STAFF INDICATED, ZONING IS COMMERCIAL, NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMERCIAL.
WHAT WE'RE HERE ON A CONDITIONAL USE IS BECAUSE IT'S IN EXCESS OF 5000FT².
THERE WAS A CITIZENS PARTICIPATION MEETING.
THE STAFF REPORT CERTAINLY INDICATES THAT WE'VE COMPLIED WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS ON IT.
[00:10:01]
THE APPLICANT WOULD AGREE WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATION.I HAVE WITH ME HOLLY IRISH, WHO IS VICE PRESIDENT OF VECTOR CIVIL ENGINEERING.
I'D LIKE TO RESERVE TIME TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT MAY COME UP DURING THE CITIZENS COMMENTS.
AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO CALL MISS IRISH.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.
BOARD. HOLLY IRISH WITH VECTOR CIVIL ENGINEERING.
THE STAFF REPORT IS A VERY DETAILED AND I WON'T REHASH ALL OF THAT.
I HAVE A VERY LONG PRESENTATION THAT JUST HAS ALL THE SAME INFORMATION THAT THE STAFF REPORT DOES.
IT DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL BASED ON MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 185 087.
A COUPLE OF POINTS FROM THAT THAT I'D LIKE TO TOUCH ON THE PARKING, I'LL JUST REITERATE THAT WE WILL ADDRESS THAT DURING THE SITE PLAN PERMITTING PROCESS, WE'RE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT FULL ENGINEERED SITE PLAN FOR THAT PROCESS RELATED TO UTILITIES.
THAT IS A CONDITION OF SECTION 185 087.
AND THERE'S AN EXISTING FORCE MAIN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF JUPITER AVENUE.
WE WILL BE EXTENDING THAT DOWN.
GARVEY MAIN GARVEY ROAD, ALSO ABOUT 350FT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD CITIZEN PARTICIPATION MEETING THAT WE HELD MR. AND MRS. NEWBERN AND ATTENDED THAT IN GENERAL, THEY WEREN'T A FAN OF THE STORE BRAND BEING THERE, BUT THEY DID HAVE A SPECIFIC REQUEST OUT OF THAT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DEVIATE FROM CODE.
SO AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN, WE WOULD NEED TO GET THAT APPROVED AND THAT WAS A REQUEST.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? YES. THE SITE PLAN.
WHICH TAKES TO. SO THE SITE PLAN.
THAT IS AN OPTION THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ADDRESS, BUT THAT WE WILL NEED STAFF APPROVAL FOR THAT.
YES, SIR. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SEEING. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANY OPPOSED? SIR, YOU WANT TO COME, MA'AM? COME FORWARD. DID YOU FILL OUT A COMMENT CARD? YOU CAN FILL THAT OUT AND TURN IT IN LATER.
OKAY. JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME AND.
THIS BUILDING IS GOING TO BE BUILT BEHIND US.
WE ARE THE ONES THAT CAME TO THE MEETING.
WE WERE CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THEIR FENCE ON OUR PROPERTY AND FOR ZONING THING, BUT I GUESS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING WITH ELECTRIC EVENTUALLY FOR THAT BUFFER LINE THAT EVENTUALLY YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE LINES UNDERGROUND OR SOMETHING FOR ELECTRIC.
SO THAT REALLY WOULDN'T MATTER OVER TIME.
SO THAT WAS REALLY WHAT WE WERE GOING FOR, WAS, YOU KNOW, PUTTING A FENCE ON OUR PROPERTY.
EVEN THERE'S TWO NEW IF YOU LOOK, THERE'S OUR HOUSE AND THEN THERE'S LIKE THREE LOTS IN BETWEEN.
THERE'S ALREADY A LOT NEXT TO US, WHICH IS OUR FRIEND.
AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ALREADY BOUGHT.
AND THEY SAID BY PUTTING THAT FENCE, IT'S GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THEIR BUILDING.
THEY WERE THINKING, TOO, THAT IT WOULD INTERFERE WITH IT.
SO AND YES, WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BUILDING BECAUSE IT IS DOLLAR GENERAL.
THERE IS $3 GENERALS WITH LESS THAN TWO MILES OF THAT ONE.
NOW, MY CONCERN IS THAT I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF DOLLAR GENERAL.
[00:15:05]
I AM NOT A DOLLAR GENERAL SHOPPER.SO THAT IS A LITTLE UPSETTING.
AND IF YOU WERE GOING TO PUT A BUILDING, I'D BE OKAY WITH IT.
IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP OUR COMMUNITY.
I DON'T FEEL THAT THAT STORE WILL HELP OUR COMMUNITY.
AND LIKE I SAID, THERE'S THREE WITH LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM OURS.
SO YOU'RE JUST WONDERING WHY THEY WANT TO PUT ANOTHER ONE THERE.
THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? ON THIS ISSUE, SIR.
EIGHT ON FOLKS. MY NAME IS JOHN LUCAS.
I'M THE ADJACENT LANDHOLDER TO MS..
UM, THE CONCERN WAS THE FENCE.
I USE IT A LOT. BUT IF YOU NOTICE IF YOU GO DOWN, SAY BABCOCK ROAD, FOR EXAMPLE, PICK A DOLLAR GENERAL DRIVE INTO THE PARKING LOT, SEE THE AMOUNT OF THEFT THAT THEY HAVE AND THE AMOUNT OF HOMELESS THAT CATER INTO THE PARKING LOT AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
PICK ANY DOLLAR GENERAL IN OUR AREA.
TALK TO PALM BAY PD, TALK TO MELBOURNE PD.
ASK THEM THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT THEY RESPOND TO CALLS TO IN THOSE PARKING LOTS CONSTANTLY.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER ALSO.
AND THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU, SIR.
DID YOU FILL OUT A COMMENT CARD? YES, MA'AM. NO, I WILL.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT. THANK YOU.
YEAH. WOULD YOU, PLEASE. ANY OTHER FURTHER COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? SEEING NONE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND? OH, I'M SORRY. ONE MORE, I GUESS.
I'M SORRY. HELLO, I'M RICHARD NEWBURN.
BUT THE FACT IS, IS DOLLAR GENERAL, THERE IS $18,000 GENERALS IN THE UNITED STATES.
WHY DO WE NEED ONE MORE? AND I'M SORRY.
HE IS ONE OF THE TOP SHAREHOLDERS OF DOLLAR GENERAL.
SO EVEN THOUGH HE'S A STAKEHOLDER, HE IS STILL OWNER OF DOLLAR GENERAL.
SO WITH ALL THESE PROFITS THAT HE'S GETTING FROM DOLLAR GENERAL, HE'S SENDING IT TO CHINA.
SO I JUST DON'T SEE DOLLAR GENERAL BEING PART OF UNITED STATES ECONOMY.
SO. THAT'S WHY I'M NOT A FAN OF DOLLAR GENERAL.
OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND? THE APPLICANT. YOU'RE TRYING TO.
I RESPOND TO THE THING AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF DOLLAR GENERALS IN THE AREA.
CERTAINLY IT'S A MATTER OF MARKET.
IT'S MARKET DRIVEN. IF THERE WASN'T A DEMAND FOR IT, THEY WOULDN'T BE BUILDING DOLLAR GENERALS.
THE OTHER THING TOO IS THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED COMMERCIAL.
CERTAINLY YOU COULDN'T BUILD A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT DOLLAR GENERAL STORE.
YOU COULD BUILD SOME OTHER STORE, CERTAINLY SMALLER, OR YOU COME BACK WITH ANOTHER TYPE OF STORE.
SO SOMETHING CAN BE DEVELOPED ON HERE.
PEOPLE AND I UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T LIKE SOMETHING IN THEIR BACKYARD.
BUT REALITY IS MS. IRISH INDICATED THEY'RE WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND CHANGE THE FENCE, PUT THE LANDSCAPING ON THEIR SIDE, WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE IT.
AS FAR AS ANY PROBLEMS, AS FAR AS HOMELESS, I THINK THAT'S A THAT'S A PROBLEM.
UNFORTUNATELY, NATIONWIDE RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT ONLY HERE, BUT TO SOME EXTENT.
I CERTAINLY NOT AWARE OF THAT.
AS TO WHO OWNS THE DOLLAR GENERAL, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS IT AND WHETHER THEY SEND THEIR MONEY TO CHINA OR NOT.
I DON'T THINK IT'S RELEVANT TO THIS.
BUT AGAIN, I'D REQUEST YOU CONSIDER A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF THIS REQUEST.
THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ANYBODY HAS FOR ME FROM THE BOARD? THE APPLICANT. OKAY.
[00:20:07]
OKAY. I GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY.NUMBER ONE IS, PERSONALLY, I'M NOT A FAN OF DOLLAR STORES.
IT'S IRRELEVANT. IT'S RELEVANT TO THIS BOARD AND IT'S IRRELEVANT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
ACTUALLY, THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS WHETHER WE RECOMMEND SOMETHING FOR APPROVAL AND WHETHER THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES SOMETHING OR NOT IS ENTIRELY YOU KNOW, HAS TO HAS TO REST ON THE LEGALITIES OF IT.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE A LEGAL REASON FOR TURNING IT DOWN.
THERE IS NONE TO TURN THIS DOWN.
AND THE REST OF IT HAS AT LEAST A 25 FOOT SETBACK.
SO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS.
LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT A FAN, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.
IF THEY DIDN'T FEEL IT WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL, BELIEVE ME, THEY WOULDN'T BUILD IT.
SO HAVING SAID THAT, MOTION TO APPROVE QUEUE 23 000 TO SUBJECT TO STAFF COMMENTS.
A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.
THE APPLICANT IS STEAMBOAT LANDING LLC AND GATEWAY MEDICAL PROPERTY, LLC.
IS THAT OKAY TO CONTINUE? YOU'RE GOOD WITH IT. I'M AN AUTHORIZED MEMBER.
SO I'LL NEED TO GET A LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION IN THE FILE.
THE LOCATION IS EAST OF AND ADJACENT TO DIXIE HIGHWAY, NORTHEAST IN THE VICINITY OF KIRKLAND ROAD, NORTHEAST AND BAY BOULEVARD NORTHEAST. THE PARCELS EQUAL APPROXIMATELY 4.12 ACRES.
THE FUTURE LAND USE IS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND URBAN MIXED USE.
IT WAS PREVIOUSLY MULTIFAMILY, RESIDENTIAL AND BAYFRONT MIXED USE VILLAGE.
BUT WITH THE UPDATE TO THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT, IT HAS BEEN TRANSITIONED.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND URBAN MIXED USE TO THE ENTIRE SITE BECOMING URBAN MIXED USE AND A RECOMMENDATION IS THAT CP 23 00004 MEETS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT AND IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL. AND AS I SAID, STAFF IS AVAILABLE AND MR. MAYES IS AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
HE. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NONE WITH THE APPLICANT.
JAMES MAY, 204 TON POOCHIE DRIVE, INDIAN HARBOR BEACH.
I AM A MANAGER, MEMBER OF STEAMBOAT LANDING AND A MEMBER OF GATEWAY MEDICAL.
SO BOTTOM LINE IS THE PLAN IS WE TO SIMPLY SWITCH MOSTLY FROM BMV, WHICH IS A MIXED USE DESIGNATION ALREADY TO BMU.
IT ALLOWS FOR A LITTLE BIT HIGHER DENSITY AND A 55 PLUS SITUATION WHERE WE COULD ALLOW 55 PLUS CONDOMINIUMS IN THERE AND A FEW MORE CONDOMINIUMS THAN WE HAD HAD BEFORE.
AND THEN ALSO MEET THE CONDITIONS OF THE MIXED USE ZONING, WHICH WOULD ADD SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE UNDERSTAND ARE REQUIRED AS PART OF THE AS PART OF THE FORMAL PLANNING PROCESS AND GETTING AUTHORIZATION FOR SITE PLAN.
SO I GUESS SOME OF THE BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY ARE AS WE AS WE WOULD REAPPLY FOR A SITE PLAN, WE THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO MEET TO ENHANCE THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND I GUESS THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT IN A NUTSHELL.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? UH, SIR? YES, SIR.
HOW MANY STOREYS HIGH ARE THESE CONDOMINIUMS? WE DON'T HAVE ANY FORMAL PLANS YET, BUT THE CURRENT DESIGNATION ALLOWS US TO GO 70 FOOT WITH OR WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN THE ZONING.
[00:25:10]
AND I THINK IN ORDER TO GO IN ORDER TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN THAT, THE ZONING CRITERIA REQUIRES US TO ADD ENHANCEMENTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN ORDER TO GET ANY ADDITIONAL HEIGHT ABOVE 70FT.AND I THINK THE MAXIMUM IN THE ZONING CRITERIA IS 110, I BELIEVE.
BUT I GUESS STAFF COULD SPEAK TO THAT.
THANK YOU. AND IF I COULD ASK STAFF A QUESTION AT THE.
YES, THAT IS CORRECT. MY QUESTION WOULD BE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS OKAY WITH THIS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A HOOK AND LADDER TO GO SEVEN STORIES OR SIX STORIES.
SO YOU'RE VOTING ON AN ENTITLEMENT TONIGHT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY WORRY ABOUT THAT AS A ZONING ENTITLEMENT.
YOU HAVE TO BE VOTING ON WHETHER OR NOT THE USE ITSELF IS SOMETHING THAT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA, NOT NECESSARILY THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, INFORMATION THAT STAFF WILL REVIEW LATER ON. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE NO LETTERS IN THE FILE ON THIS CASE.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANY OPPOSED.
I LIVE AT 3901 DIXIE HIGHWAY, NORTHEAST AT CASTAWAY COVE CONDOMINIUMS IN PALM BAY.
SO THIS PLAN IS FOR BUILDING A MEMORY CARE FACILITY, WHICH WOULD BE FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE HAVE CHALLENGES WITH MOBILITY AND MENTAL CAPACITY AND, UH, AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE THEM TO BE INSIDE AND LIVE LIMIT OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, WHICH IS IN CONTRAST TO THE LOCATION OF WHERE THIS FACILITY IS GOING TO BE, WHICH IS RIGHT ON THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON AND ALSO BORDERING THE CASTAWAY POINT PARK.
BOTH THESE TWO, THE PARK AND THE LAGOON, ARE ARE AREAS THAT PROMOTE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND ALSO HAVE THE UNIQUE ASPECT OF ONE OF A KIND AREA WITH THE NATURE AND WILDLIFE AND OF COURSE, THE TURKEY CREEK SANCTUARY. SO REALLY IT'S A MISMATCH, I THINK, BETWEEN THE PURPOSE OF THE FACILITY AND THE LOCATION THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN.
UM, AT THE VERY LEAST, IF, IF THIS IS APPROVED, I THINK IT SHOULD BE WITH A REQUIREMENT THAT THE DEVELOPER USE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES, THAT THE, THAT THAT WOULD BE FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THIS PROJECT AND ALSO ALL PHASES, INCLUDING THE COMMERCIAL PHASE WHICH WOULD COME LATER.
THE CITY OF PALM BAY HAS DEVELOPED THEIR OWN LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT MANUAL, A GUIDANCE MANUAL.
IN FACT, THEY HAVE VERY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS AND DETAILS FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT IS IN SUPPORT AND ENHANCES ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS THIS ONE, SUCH AS PROTECTING SURFACE WATERS AND WETLANDS AND PRESERVING OPEN SPACES USING UNDERGROUND STORAGE AND RETENTION SYSTEMS, PERVIOUS MATERIALS FOR PARKING LOTS AND ROADS AND ROOFTOPS IN FLORIDA, FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING, JUST TO NAME A FEW.
SO AS PART OF THE ZONING IS FOR HIGHER DENSITY AND MORE IMPACT.
YOU CAN SEE THE NEED IS EVEN MORE JUSTIFIED, I THINK, TO PRACTICE AND REQUIRE THESE LOW IMPACT PRACTICES. SO THE DECISIONS TONIGHT ARE REALLY URGENT AND IMPORTANT THAT ARE LEFT WITH THIS BOARD TO APPROVE FIRST, TO APPROVE.
IT'S A PRETTY LARGE PLAN FOR A MEMORY CARE FACILITY WITH ALSO THEY WERE MENTIONING CONDOS.
PHASE TWO WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AND IN THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION PLAN, THERE WAS TALK OF A TIKI TYPE LOUNGE BAR AREA.
[00:30:02]
AND THIS IS ALL IN A VERY SMALL SPACE OF FOUR AND A HALF ACRES.SO THERE THERE IS ALREADY PROBLEMS WITH PARKING AND AND, AND JUST THE THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT.
THE OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT YOUR DECISION WILL IMPACT, IS THAT WHAT YOU DECIDE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL PRESENT A FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
RIGHT NOW IN THIS AREA, THERE ARE SIX OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BETWEEN MALABAR ROAD AND JAMES CONLON BOULEVARD.
THAT WILL BE COMING BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING WITH ISSUES SIMILAR TO THIS.
WILL YOU'LL ALSO BE DECIDING FOR SIX OTHER UNITS COMING UP NEXT.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? SIR. ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? SAY, SORRY, I'M NOT DRUNK.
I'VE JUST GOT A BAD LEG. THEN YOU KNOW HOW EMBARRASSING IT IS.
I WON'T. DO YOU WANT ME TO GIVE THE ADDRESS? CASTAWAY COAST 39.
I'M ONLY HERE TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME BECAUSE I IN MY LIFETIME HAVE VOLUNTEERED.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS BE YOUR EARS AND EYES FOR WHAT I SEE.
AS A LAYPERSON, NOT AS A DEVELOPER.
I THINK DEVELOPMENT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTY.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DIDN'T LIKE WAS THE WORD IT'S A DONE DEAL.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BECAUSE I DON'T GET TO GO INTO THE ROOMS AND MAKE THESE DEALS.
WHAT I SEE OF SO FAR IN DEVELOPMENT.
DO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IN OUR COUNTY TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS? AND ONE OF THEM IS NOT AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S HOW IT'S DEVELOPED AND WHO'S PAYING FOR WHAT UPFRONT.
WHEN WE COME OUT OF THESE ROADS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING THESE PROPERTIES ON.
I LIKE TO SEE THE ZONING DEPARTMENT SAY YOU HAVE TO GIVE SO MANY FEET FOR CARS TO COME OUT SO THEY DON'T JUST SHOOT OUT INTO THE MAINLAND TRAFFIC, WHICH IS US ONE.
AND YOU KNOW THAT IF THESE ARE SENIOR PEOPLE, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
SO IT SHOULD BE A TURNAROUND POINT A BLOCK DOWN THE STREET.
THIS IS PLANNING GOOD DEVELOPMENT FOR FUTURE PEOPLE COMING.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH SAYING TO THE DEVELOPER, YOU WANT TO COME IN, YOU WANT TO DEVELOP, YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE PROCESS, THE PEOPLE TO TURN TO COME OUT FOR THE SIGNALS AND A TRAFFIC LIGHT.
THERE'S NO TRAFFIC LIGHT DEVELOPED THERE YET.
THE DEVELOPER SAID AT THE MEETING THAT I WENT TO THAT THEY WERE DOING SOME EXCESSIVE PUMP.
THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD A PUMP FOR THE WATER TO GO OUT AND SO FORTH.
THAT'S WHERE I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DEVELOPMENT.
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO PUT UP THEIR FAIR SHARE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
AND IT'S NOT THAT I'M AGAINST IT.
WELL, YOU FIGURE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO TO A THREE STORY? WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PARK? THEN YOU HAVE THE PEOPLE IN THE HAND FOR THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE PEOPLE IN THE BIG TALL BUILDINGS OF SEVEN, MAYBE SEVEN STORIES.
WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PARK? AND THIS IS WHAT I WANT THE BOARD TO TO SEE WHAT I SEE COMING TO WHERE I'M GOING TO LIVE.
SO I DEPEND ON MYSELF COMING TO YOU AND EXPLAINING SO YOU CAN DO TWO THINGS.
YOU CAN SAY HE HAS A POINT OR WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE WANT.
THAT'S IT. I DON'T MEAN TO SAY ANYTHING MORE THAN THAN THAT.
[00:35:07]
AT HAND RIGHT NOW. PLEASE PALM BAY STICK TO THE ISSUE AT HAND.AND I DON'T MEAN TO CHALLENGE YOU, BUT THAT'S RUDE OF YOU TO DO THAT.
TO ME. THAT TELEPHONE POLE IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE YOU HAVE SENIORS THAT NEED THAT ELECTRICITY AND THAT WIRING TO GO, AND THOSE POLES ARE INADEQUATE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND NOBODY CAN GET THESE PEOPLE TO DO THEIR JOB.
NOW, IF YOU FEEL THAT THAT'S OFF THE ISSUE, I'M SORRY, BUT IT ALL ENTWINES THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND I'M SORRY IF SOMEBODY GOT MAD HERE BECAUSE I'M UPSET THAT YOU COMMENTS.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE, MA'AM? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ANN ATHERTON AND I LIVE AT 3901 CASTAWAY COVE CONDOMINIUMS. UM. AT THE PRE-PLANNING MEETING OR THE PRESENTATION THAT THEY GAVE.
WHY THERE? THEY ALSO WANT TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE POINT.
YES. 30 YEARS AGO, 35 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS SOMETHING ON THAT POINT.
WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, AGAIN, IT'S A ONE LANE DIRT ROAD TO GET TO THAT POINT.
WHY CAN'T IT BE PART OF CASTAWAY COVE PARK? JUST AN IDEA.
I DON'T KNOW. A GAME FROM THE 80S CALLED FROGGER.
UM, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ZONING CHANGE IS NOT APPROVED? THAT'S JUST A QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW.
WE'RE FIGHTING TO SAVE THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON.
WE'RE BUILDING MORE AND MORE ON THE RIVER.
WHAT'S TO SAY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW? POLICY PROCEDURE.
IT'S JUST QUESTIONS THAT POP IN THE HEAD.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD? HI, I'M LOUISE FORTUNE 30 901 DIXIE HIGHWAY, NORTHEAST CASTAWAY COVE.
THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE IS SOMETIMES I'LL BE SITTING OUT ON MY BALCONY WATCHING THE BIRDS FLY BACK IN AT NIGHT TO ROOST IN THE TREES AT THAT PARK. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM? THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? SIR? MY NAME IS TIMOTHY SCOFIELD.
3901 DIXIE HIGHWAY, NORTHEAST CASTAWAY COVE.
AND MY MY MAIN OBJECTION TO IT WOULD BE THE TRAFFIC.
WE'VE GOT JUST FAR TOO MUCH TRAFFIC.
AND JUST FEEL THAT THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH OVERDEVELOPMENT ON IT.
DID YOU WANT OTHER LADY THAT WANTED TO SPEAK COME FORWARD? GOT. YEAH.
YOU NEED TO FILL IT OUT. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PARK THAT PALM BAY HAS.
IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
[00:40:01]
I THINK YOU REALLY SHOULD SEE THAT BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE.LIKE I SAID, IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PARK IN IN.
PALM BAY PROBABLY IN THE COUNTY.
THEY GO OVER THERE, HAVE COFFEE IN THE MORNING.
IT'S JUST YOU CAN SEE THE MANATEES.
IT'S THE MOST FORGIVE MY USE OF THIS WORD, BUT IT'S THE MOST STUPID THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF.
IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
PLEASE GO THERE AND SEE IT BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION.
ANY. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? PROPOSING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK, SIR? OKAY. ONE MORE.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DAVID JELLISON.
I AM A RESIDENT AT 3225 KIRKLAND ROAD, NORTHEAST.
THIS PROJECT BORDERS US ON THE SOUTH AND ON THE EAST.
IT IS LITERALLY RIGHT ON TOP OF US.
SO WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IT BE DONE CORRECTLY.
BUT THE MAIN REASON I WANT TO SPEAK TONIGHT IS BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY.
THE OWNER HASN'T TAKEN ANY INTEREST IN ELIMINATING THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE.
THE PROPERTY ON ON BAY BOULEVARD THAT HAS THE WATERFRONT IS SCHEDULED FOR A FUTURE PHASE, ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION WE GOT AT THE OPEN HOUSE THAT THE OWNER DEVELOPER HELD A FEW MONTHS BACK. SO THAT PROPERTY IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM.
IT AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE IN CASTAWAY SHORES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF ELDERLY, ELDERLY PEOPLE.
I'VE BEEN THERE FOR OVER FIVE YEARS.
I'VE ASKED THE OWNER TO FIX THE HOLES IN THE FENCES, PUT UP NO TRESPASSING SIGNS.
THERE'S NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN FIVE YEARS.
NOT ONE. NO TRESPASSING SIGN HAS BEEN PUT UP.
NOT ONE HOLE IN THE FENCE HAS BEEN HAD BEEN FIXED.
WE ENDURE SEXUAL ACTIVITY OUT THERE.
YOU SHOULD, I WOULD THINK, HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT THAT.
THERE ARE THREE ELDERLY LADIES.
DON'T DRIVE. THEY LIVE BY THEMSELVES.
AND EVERYBODY ELSE IN THAT IN THAT BUILDING.
IT IS LITERALLY RIGHT ACROSS OUTSIDE OF OUR.
PER OUR SLIDING GLASS DOOR AND OUR WINDOWS.
IT'S BAY BOULEVARD, LIKE THEY SAID, IS A ONE LANE DIRT ROAD.
AND SINCE IT'S GOING ON OVER THERE IS JUST UNBEARABLE.
AND I'VE TRIED TO GET THE POLICE TO DO ENFORCEMENT.
THEY SAID THERE'S NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE OWNER DOESN'T.
CAN YOU WRAP UP YOUR COMMENTS, PLEASE? I'M SORRY. YOU NEED TO WRAP UP YOUR COMMENTS.
BAY BOULEVARD AND THE WATERFRONT IS SCHEDULED FOR A THIRD PHASE.
I BELIEVE IT IS ANYWAY, A FUTURE PHASE.
[00:45:01]
AND AT THE OPEN HOUSE THAT WAS HELD, IT WAS COMMENTED THAT THEY INTEND TO USE THE THE. THE LIVING EQUIVALENT THAT WOULD THAT.THAT PARCEL WOULD ALLOW THEM TO USE MORE LIVING UNITS IN THE PART THAT THEY WANT TO BUILD NOW SO THAT THEY COULD PUT IN MORE.
TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT'S OUT THERE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT, SIR.
ANYONE ELSE FROM THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK.
SEEING NONE WITH THE APPLICANT LIKE TO RESPOND.
MR. MCKINNEY MIGHT MIGHT JOIN ME, BUT I'M IN REGARDS TO THE MEMORY CARE.
WITH A CHANGE OF THE ZONING, WE WOULD THEN MAYBE REVISE THE SITE PLAN WE MAY OR MAY NOT GO FORWARD WITH WITH MEMORY CARE, BUT IT IS AN APPROVED USE ALREADY. SO THE ENTITLEMENTS ARE THERE REGARDLESS.
SO THE IDEA OF DONE DEAL MAY BE MR. MCKINNEY SPEAKS IN VERNACULAR BECAUSE HE'S KIND OF SOUTHERN BORN AND ALL THAT.
HE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST KIND OF A SAYING THAT THAT'S ALREADY THERE.
THE ENTITLEMENTS ARE ALREADY THERE.
UM, WITH REGARDS TO THE TAXPAYERS PAYING THINGS, WE ARE THE TAXPAYERS.
OUR FACILITY AS IT IS BUILT WILL ADD TO THE TAX BASE SUBSTANTIALLY.
AND WE HAVE ALREADY PAID SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT FEES THAT ARE THERE FOR THE ROAD DEVELOPMENT.
SO THAT WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE.
SO WE'VE ALREADY CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN I THINK WAS 100,000, 700,000.
WELL, WE'VE WELL, 700,000 IN PERMITTING AND FEES, BUT 100,000 IN SPECIFICALLY IN IMPACT FEES THAT ARE DESIGNATED FOR THE ROADS AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE AREA WITH REGARD TO THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON.
IT. WE ARE FULLY AWARE THAT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MANAGE THE PERMITS AND THE PERMITTING PROCESS WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE LAW THAT REQUIRE US TO MAINTAIN PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS.
THAT MEANS WE AND ALL THOSE CONDITIONS ARE INSPECTED BY THE STATE ON A REGULAR BASIS AS WE PRODUCE OUR OUR DEVELOPMENT. SO I THINK THAT PRETTY MUCH ADDRESSES ALL THE CONCERNS WITH THE RESPECT TO THE PARK ITSELF.
WE'RE NOT OUR LAND IS NOT A PARK.
OKAY. IT LOOKS LIKE A PARK MAYBE, BUT IT'S A PARK.
IT'S NOT A PARK. IT'S OUR LAND.
THE PARK NEXT DOOR BELONGS TO THE CITY.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS A COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WE WILL ENHANCE THE ENTIRE AREA.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF MR. MCKINNEY HAS ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY.
MCKINNEY CONSTRUCTION, MELBOURNE DEVELOPMENT.
I'VE HEARD HIS COMPLAINTS AND I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THEM TO YOU.
WE'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY CODE ENFORCEMENT FOUR TIMES TO SIGN THE PROJECT TO CHAIN LINK.
THE PROJECT TO PROTECT THE PROJECT.
ALL FOUR TIMES WE'VE COMPLIED.
WE JUST HAD ONE AS OF LAST 90 DAYS.
WE'VE DONE IT. WE CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT VAGRANTS.
YOU KNOW WHY? IT IS BASICALLY A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
IT'S A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
WE CAN MOW THE PROPERTY TO THE GROUND.
CODE ENFORCEMENT IS WORKING WITH US EVERY SINGLE DAY.
YOU KNOW WHY? WE HAVE NO CODE VIOLATIONS.
WE DO NOT DO AS THE PARTICIPANTS SAY.
THIS GENTLEMAN'S BEEN ASSIGNED POWER FROM OUR CORPORATION AND OUR ATTORNEYS TO ANY TIME HE SEES SOMEONE THERE TO PLEASE CALL THE POLICE AND PLEASE RECOGNIZE THAT THEY'RE TRESPASSING.
WE'VE REGISTERED ALL OF THE PROPER PAPERWORK WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
BUT THE PROBLEM ABOUT IT IS, GUYS, EVERYONE WANTS TO GO TO THE POINT I CAN'T LIVE AT THE POINT.
IT'S JUST A DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN.
IT'S NOT OUR INTENTION OF BEING BAD.
WE'RE PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT BY JANUARY OF 2024.
[00:50:03]
AND WE'VE SPENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, ALMOST $1 MILLION TO COMPLY AND DO EVERYTHING.WE'RE STANDING ON A PERMIT RIGHT NOW FOR THE MEMORY CARE WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO ASSOCIATE AND TO OUR OUR NEW CURRENT MARKET STUDY THAT WE JUST HAD PUT IN PLACE, BASICALLY, IT SAYS, LISTEN, EVERYTHING GOING ON IN PALM BAY AND MY FAMILY'S BEEN THERE FOR 125 YEARS.
I'M A LOCAL PERSON. I OWN 6 OR 7 COMPANIES, EMPLOY 300 PEOPLE IN TOWN.
AND I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, MELBOURNE IS NOT THE MELBOURNE I GREW UP IN.
PALM BAY IS NOT THE PALM BAY THAT I GREW UP IN AND THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT IT.
I STARTED BUILDING ON PALM BAY ROAD FOR FRED SUTTON IN 1975.
OUR WHOLE DEMOGRAPHICS IN THIS COMMUNITY IS CHANGING.
WE BUILT 91 APARTMENT COMPLEXES LAST YEAR, BREVARD COUNTY, WE BUILT 213 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AREAS.
YOU CANNOT SAY THAT MELBOURNE AND BREVARD COUNTY ARE STAYING THE SAME LITTLE COMMUNITY THAT WE WERE.
IT'S CHANGING EVERY SINGLE DAY.
HOWEVER, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO SOMETHING GOOD IN THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT, WHAT WE BRING TO THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT, BECAUSE $56 MILLION, $56 MILLION RIGHT BESIDE OUR PEOPLE'S CONDOS, YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A VALUE AND ASSESSMENT TO THEIR PROPERTY? IT'S GOING TO HAVE A VERY, VERY LARGE EFFECT TO THEM.
GRANTED, THEY ARE IN THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT AND WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE TWO POINT WHAT $4 BILLION DEVELOPMENT THAT PALM BAY SPENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON TO DESIGN AND PUT OUT RELEVANT TO THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT AND ALL THE DRAWINGS AND EVERYTHING THEY HAVE OUT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BRING INVESTORS INTO HERE.
IT'S ALL PART OF A CATALYST THAT WORKS TOGETHER.
WE WANT OUR PROPERTY TO BE AS DIVERSIFIED AS POSSIBLE OUR MARKET STUDIES, OUR INDEPENDENT STUDIES, OUR FEASIBILITY STUDIES THAT A LOT OF STUFF, AS WE KNOW, ARE ALL TRENDING TOWARDS INDEPENDENT LIVING, INDEPENDENT LIVING AND ASSISTED LIVING CARE.
YOU STILL HAVE A PHARMACY, YOU STILL HAVE FOOD FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE PATRON OR THE TENANT.
YOU STILL HAVE EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH AN ASSISTED LIVING CARE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO BE CLASSIFIED AS ASSISTED LIVING.
THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT LIBERTY AT OUR AGE.
I'M ALMOST 65 AT OUR AGE TO BE CLASSIFIED AS INDEPENDENT.
I DON'T WANT YOU. I DON'T WANT TO BE ASSISTED LIVING.
I WOULD RATHER BE CLASSIFIED AS INDEPENDENT.
SO WHENEVER SOMEONE SAYS THAT WE'RE NOT BRINGING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE, OR I CAN ASSURE YOU WE'RE BRINGING MORE TO THE TABLE THAN THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT IS EVER HAD OR WILL EVER RECOGNIZE. I MEAN, IT'S JUST A LOT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND OUR PARTNERS, OUR DEVELOPMENT CREW, OUR PEOPLE ARE READY TO ENGAGE.
BUT WE THINK THAT BEING MORE DIVERSIFIED, RELEVANT TO INDEPENDENT LIVING MEMORY CARE WOULD BE A LOT BETTER THAN BEING MEMORY CARE, ASSISTED LIVING AND 30 LITTLE UNITS OF INDEPENDENT LIVING.
SO THAT'S ALL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS INCREASE OUR DENSITY.
BUT IN GENERAL, EVERYTHING IN THAT AREA IS GOING TO BE ENHANCED.
WE ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH HAWTHORN AND WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE BAY AREA.
I MEAN, IF YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR ANY TIME, LIKE MY FAMILY HAS, I UNDERSTAND THAT AREA PERFECTLY.
IF WE COULD RAISE THE BRIDGE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? THE PROPERTY THAT CITY OF PALM BAY OWNS ON THE OTHER SIDE COULD THEN BE OPENED UP TO DEVELOPMENT WHERE THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND ALL THAT STUFF IS.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST HELLS WE HAVE IN HERE.
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT.
WE'RE JUST THE FIRST GUY THAT'S GOING TO GO IN THERE AND SPEND $50 MILLION.
WHEN I SAY MEDICAL, I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT SOME MEMORY CARE AND SOME INDEPENDENT LIVING SUPPORTED BY SOME MEDICAL AMENITIES BY PHARMACIES AND AND DOCTORS MAKING ROUTINE CHECKS AND STUFF LIKE THAT IN THE AREA.
THIS IS MELBOURNE. THERE'S NOBODY KNOWS THE COMMUNITY BETTER THAN I DO.
I'VE BEEN BUILDING IN MELBOURNE, PALM BAY, FOR 42 YEARS.
TELL ME SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU CAN GET TO THE WATERFRONT.
YOU'VE GOT 50 FOOT LEDGES, 60 FOOT LEDGES ON BOTH SIDES OF US.
ONE THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN GET TO THE WATERFRONT IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY IS IN THE BAYFRONT DISTRICT.
IT'S GOING TO COME OUT SMELLING LIKE A ROSE.
[00:55:02]
AND THAT'S HOW THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS.IT HAPPENS LIKE EATING AN ELEPHANT, ONE LITTLE BITE AT A TIME.
THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING, IS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
THE FLOOR IS NOW. CLOSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS IN THE CASE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
BOARD MEMBERS. DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR EMOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE CP 23 0004.

THANK YOU VERY. RAMOS DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE YEAH, THE APPLICANT LIKE TO COME TO THE PODIUM.

WE REALLY DO. WE JUST WANT TO DO GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE HERE. WE'RE OUR FAMILY'S HERE.
MY GRANDKIDS ARE HERE. WE'RE ALL GOING TO STAY.
WE HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND MOST OF ALL, I CAN'T REALLY SAY SHUT UP.
BUT BASICALLY MOST OF ALL, PALM BAY HAS BEEN ONE OF THE AREAS THAT I'VE BEEN IN MOST OF MY LIFE, AND I AM TICKLED TO DEATH TO BE A PART OF ANYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY. AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF Y'ALL'S EFFORT THAT YOU ALL DO IN THE SITUATIONS THAT Y'ALL GET INTO RELEVANT TO THIS BOARD AND WHAT YOU AND JUST THE PROFESSIONALISM THAT I BRING TO IT. SO ME AND JIM ARE TICKLED TO DEATH THAT Y'ALL ARE CONSIDERING US.
THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MA'AM.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? OKAY. FOR THE RECORD, YOUR PREVIOUS COMMENTS ARE ON THE RECORD.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON IN OPPOSED TO THIS REQUEST.
YOU WANT GOING TO COME UP BECAUSE. YES, YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE PODIUM, SIR.
THESE COMMENTS ARE ON THE RECORD.
I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT MONEY AND PEOPLE LIKE US.
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHERE WE LIVE AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MONEY.
I DON'T SEE WHERE THE SIDEWALKS ARE.
I DON'T SEE WHERE THE ROADWAY IS GOING TO EXPAND SO PEOPLE CAN DRIVE OUT SAFELY.
AND I HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING.
HOW ARE THE ROADS GOING TO BE? YOU GO INTO RIGHT AWAYS DOT WHOSE PROPERTY IT IS.
I'M NOT IN THAT FACILITY TO KNOW THOSE THINGS.
I ONLY COME HERE AND I ONLY BUY WHAT I READ.
SO I DON'T THINK I'M WRONG BY IDENTIFYING THESE CONCERNS.
NOW, TODAY YOU HAVE JUST OKAYED IT, BUT NO ONE HAS SHOWN THE PUBLIC WHERE THESE HOW THIS ROAD IS GOING TO WIDEN A LITTLE BIT SO WE DON'T GET KILLED. AND HE'S SAYING THAT HE LIVES HERE.
AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE LIVE.
AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR.
[01:00:01]
SO WHEN THE COMMITTEE GIVES OKAY TO THIS, PLEASE ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.WHERE IS THE THE RUNOFF TO COME OUT OF THESE PLACES AND GET ACROSS THE HIGHWAY? AND WHERE ARE THE LIGHTS? NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT.
I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S A SIMPLE LITTLE THING.
SHOW ME AND ALL OF US HOW IT AFFECTS US TO LIVE IN AN AREA THAT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.
I KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
IT'S COMING. BUT LET'S BUILD IT RIGHT? WHERE WHERE'S THE PEOPLE FROM? PUBLIC WORKS TO SIT HERE OR STAND HERE AND SAY THEY HAVE TO DO THIS ON THE RIGHT AWAY OR THEY HAVE TO DO THIS ON A BASICALLY IT'S WE'LL BUILD IT AND THEN WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM LATER. AND THE PROBLEM LATER GOES TO 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.
AND I DON'T MEAN TO GET THE GENTLEMAN UPSET, BUT AGAIN, WE'LL GO BACK TO WHERE THE POLLS ARE.
SO THIS IS WHAT I'M ADDRESSING RIGHT NOW.
WHERE ARE THE ARTERIES TO GET THE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT? AND THAT'S NOT UP TO JUST TAXPAYERS.
HIS HIS TAXES ARE COMING FROM HIS REVENUE, WHICH HE'S GOING TO MAKE.
MY TAXES ARE COMING FROM MY POCKET AND I WANT US ALL TO PAY FOR THIS.
SORRY IF I GOT ANYBODY UPSET TONIGHT.
OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
ANYONE ELSE, MA'AM? I AGREE. EXCUSE ME.
WOULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? ATHERTON. CASTAWAY CONDOMINIUMS. THANK YOU. I AGREE.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
WHEN IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? AFTER THEY PUT IN THE WONDERFUL THINGS THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IN.
HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN TO THE POINT? HAVE YOU SEEN WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD THIS? HE DOES HAVE THE AREA FOR THE MEMORY CARE.
LIKE I STATED EARLIER, I'M NOT AGAINST THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IN FUTURE PHASE, HE WANTS TO PUT SOMETHING OUT ON THAT POINT.
THERE'S NOT ROOM TO EXPAND THAT ONE LANE DIRT ROAD.
AGAIN. HAVE YOU BEEN TO SEE WHERE HE'S BUILDING? THAT'S IT. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO COMMENT? I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS.
MY NAME IS DAVID GELLERSON FOR THE RECORD, DAVID GELLERSON AND I'M AT 3225 KIRKLAND ROAD NORTHEAST.
MR. MCKINNEY MENTIONED THAT HE GAVE ME A LETTER SO THAT I COULD CALL THE POLICE, GIVEN ME AUTHORITY TO HAVE THEM REMOVE PEOPLE FROM THE PROPERTY THAT THEY WERE TRESPASSING ON.
THAT LETTER WORKED ONE TIME AND THEN FROM THEN ON THE POLICE WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT.
THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT FROM THE OWNER AND THE OWNER WON'T DO ANYTHING.
SO THIS COULD BE VERY SIMPLY RESOLVED.
IF THE POLICE TOLD ME THAT IF MR. MCKINNEY WOULD GO DOWN HERE AND FILE A BLANKET, NO TRESPASS ON THE PROPERTY, THAT WOULD GIVE THE POLICE THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE ANYBODY FROM THE PROPERTY.
THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT'S IT, I THINK I THINK COULD BE VERY EASILY HANDLED IF MR. MCKINNEY WOULD JUST SO SHOW SOME CONCERN FOR THE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE THERE THAT THIS IS IMPACTING.
SO FAR, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY CONCERN ON HIS PART.
I HEAR PROMISES, BUT NEVER SEE ANY ACTION.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK.
ONE MORE. SUSAN CONNOLLY 3901 DIXIE HIGHWAY CASTAWAY COVE.
THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE CAN GO TO GET TO THE WATER IS THAT LOCATION.
AT THE VERY LEAST, IF THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
[01:05:01]
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE DEVELOPERS SAY INSTEAD OF SAYING WE ARE MEETING THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING THAT IS REQUIRED OF US TO.WE CAN HAVE DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT.
AND PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE LIVE SIDE BY SIDE.
SO. LET'S KEEP THAT AS A LOCATION WHERE PEOPLE.
CAN COME. TO SEE THE WATER, TO SEE A BIRD, TO CATCH A FISH, TO LOOK AT THE SKY. ANY FURTHER.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND, SIR? I WAS JUST GOING TO RESPOND REAL FAST ABOUT HIS NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE LETTER FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE FILED THAT, LIKE HE SAID, AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES.
YOU'RE FINE. MY SON'S GOT THE SAME RING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO TO RE FILE IT.
WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO REFILE IT, BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A BLANKET POLICY ON THE PROPERTY.
AS FAR AS FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING DOWN THERE TO THE PROPERTY, RELEVANT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE ROADS AND THE SIZES AND STUFF, ALL OF THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE TO LOOK AT WHEN THE DRAWINGS ARE SUBMITTED AND THEY'RE APPROVED.
AND WE HAVE A MASSIVE GUIDELINE THAT WE HAVE TO MEET FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD.
AND I WANT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND.
WE DON'T SAY YOU'RE GETTING A TINY DIRT ROAD.
WE GAVE UP OUR PROPERTY TO BUILD A PROPER ENLARGED ROAD ASPHALTED IN OUR AREA.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TINY DIRT ROAD THAT PASSES OUR PROPERTY.
BUT FROM THERE ON THE EXISTING ROAD THAT'S THERE AND DIRT WILL REMAIN IN DIRT.
BUT EVERYTHING UP TO THAT POINT, WE'VE GIVEN AWAY PROPERTY TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY AND TAKEN A LOSS TO MAKE THE ROADS BIGGER, SAFER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR TRAFFIC IN AND TRAFFIC OUT.
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE HOLDING OUR FEET TO THE FIRE.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE THIS OPTION OF AS A DEVELOPER TO JUST LIKE SKATE PASS.
WE DON'T WE HAVE WE HAVE TO MEET THOSE THINGS EACH AND EVERY TIME.
AND WHAT THE LADY WAS SAYING JUST THEN ABOUT WE LIVE IN THIS AREA.
THIS IS THE ONLY AREA YOU CAN GET TO THE WATER.
WHAT I MEANT TO EMPHASIZE WAS THERE'S ONLY A 1.7 MILE OF AREA IN PALM BAY THAT IF YOU'RE AN OWNER OF REAL ESTATE IN PALM BAY, WHICH I AM, I THINK MY PARTNER OWNS A NUMBER OF HOUSES AND LOTS IN PALM BAY.
WE KNOW THAT THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN GET DOWN LOW ENOUGH TO THE WATER.
THAT'S ALL I MEANT TO EMPHASIZE.
AND IT'S NOT THE BIRDING AND THE VIEWING AND ALL THAT STUFF'S NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE.
IT'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE BASED ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD.
WE OFFER TO BUILD NEW VISUAL PLATFORMS FOR THE PEOPLE.
WE'VE BROUGHT A LOT OF AMENITIES TO THE TABLE, FENCING SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FACILITY.
SO WE'RE DOING OUR BEST TO COMPLY.
BUT I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO SEE THE END RESULTS BE A LOT.
SOCIABLE FOR THEM TO MOVE IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY AND WITH THE PLANS OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY HAVE FOR THE CASTAWAY POINT THAT WE ARE SOME OF US ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT'S GOING ON NOW.
WE'RE ALL OF TO THE FARMER'S MARKET AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
[01:10:01]
THANKS. THANK YOU, SIR.FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THE CASE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
OR DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR EMOTION? QUESTION. OKAY.
MOTION TO APPROVE CPC 23 0003.
IT'S IT'S ALREADY ZONED FOR THAT.
IT'S THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS IS ASSIGNED FOR THAT.
BUT THE POINT IS AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE AND ENCAMPMENTS AND DRUG ACTIVITY AND ALL THOSE KIND OF STUFF AND WELL, THIS IS GOING TO IMPROVE THAT.
I MEAN, A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN THAT CONDOMINIUM THERE.
BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THE AREA.
IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO ALL IN ALL, THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT AND THAT'S WHY I MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE IT.
HI. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THANKS FOR NOTHING. THE NEXT CASE IS CP 23 00005 MRS BERNARD.
I'LL HAVE A GREAT. I APOLOGIZE.
ALEX BERNARD, PRINCIPAL PLANNER.
THE CASE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS 23 0005.
THE APPLICANT IS VISION 23, LLC, REPRESENTED BY HOLLY TANNER.
THIS, THE SIZE IS 0.38 ACRES AND THE REQUEST IS TO HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SINGLE FAMILY, BUT BECAUSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE TO TWO COMMERCIAL.
SO THE REQUEST IS AN EXPANSION OF THEIR GARDEN CENTER.
WHY? THEIR REQUEST IS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.
I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE WITH THE APPLICANT LIKE TO COME FORWARD.
GOOD EVENING. I'M HOLLY TANNER.
2300 AVOCADO AVENUE, MELBOURNE, FLORIDA.
I OWN TANNER CONSTRUCTION, BUT I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE OWNER OF VISION 43 LLC, ALEX XIA'S.
VISION 43 IS A GARDEN CENTER AND ITS PRIMARY LOCATION IS LOCATED AT 2795 PALM BAY ROAD, JUST SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY BEING DISCUSSED. DURING THESE PAST TWO YEARS, THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN GROWING AND THAT IS THE REASON THAT HE HAS MADE THIS REQUEST TO CHANGE THE ZONING OF HIS PROPERTY FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL SO THAT HE CAN EXPAND HIS BUSINESS.
I WANTED TO JUST SHARE A COUPLE OF PHOTOGRAPHS THE OWNER HAD WANTED ME TO JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT HE HAS CREATED AND IN TERMS OF HIS CURRENT SPACE. SO LET'S SEE.
SO ORIGINALLY THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE PROPERTY THAT IS JUST SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY IN REFERENCE IS IT WAS A DILAPIDATED BUILDING. HE HAS MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS AREA IN REGARDS TO IMPROVEMENTS OF THE BUILDING ITSELF AND ALSO INTERIOR AND ALSO IN TERMS OF THE SITE ITSELF, WHICH IS WHAT HIS INTENTION WILL BE TO CONTINUE THAT EXPANSION.
[01:15:02]
SO THIS IS JUST A BIRD'S EYE VIEW ALSO OF WHAT THIS PROPERTY OF CURRENTLY HIS BUSINESS IS LOOKING LOOKS LIKE.AND THAT IS HIS PLAN NOW INTO EXTENDING THAT NORTH INTO THAT ADJACENT PROPERTY.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE PICTURES, HE'S MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT AND CREATED A BEAUTIFUL AREA THAT ENHANCES BOTH THE PROPERTY AND THE LOCATION ITSELF WHERE HIS THE CLIENT'S NEIGHBORS AND THE COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY THIS AND I THINK BENEFIT FROM IN TERMS OF BEAUTIFICATION AND VALUE. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
I TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, MR. WEINBERG? YEAH. MISS TANNER? YES. THE OWNERS OF THIS PROPERTY.
HE'S NOT LOOKING TO. TO EXPAND THE BUILDING ITSELF, IS HE? IS JUST LOOKING TO EXPAND THE GARDENING AREA.
YES. IT'S ONLY THE GARDEN AREA.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? HE OPPOSED. THANK YOU, SEEING NONE.
IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION OR A MOTION.
AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE, AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY THE COMPANION CASE.
THIS THIS IS THE COMPANION ZONING REQUEST AND IT IS ALSO FOR THE GARDEN CENTER EXPANSION FOR VISION 43 LLC WITH HOLLY TANNER REPRESENTING IT IS A ZONING AMENDMENT FROM RS THREE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL, AND IT IS APPROXIMATELY 0.38 ACRES AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR COMMERCIAL AND STAFF IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT MEETS ALL THE PARAMETERS AND. STAFF IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? OKAY. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? SEEING NONE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION OR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
A MOTION TO APPROVE CPC 23 00004 SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
GOOD EVENING. THIS IS CASE T 23 00010.
THE APPLICANT, CHELSEA ANDERSON IS HERE AND THE REQUEST IS A TEXTUAL AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES IN CHAPTER 185IN GENERAL COMMERCIAL USE TO AMEND TO A TO AMEND THE CONDITIONAL USES TO ALLOW FOR CAR WASHES AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
IN ADDITION, CHELSEA IS ALSO HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS I AM AS WELL.
WARNER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE. APPLICANT.
HI, GOOD EVENING. CHELSEA ANDERSON 1530 US HIGHWAY ONE ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA 32955.
I'M ACTUALLY THE AGENT HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT ROYAL WALSH PSL LLC, AND WE ARE REQUESTING THE CODE TEXTUAL AMENDMENT, AS STAFF SAID, AND STAFF DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE STAFF REPORT.
WE'RE REQUESTING TO ADD IT TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
WE WILL HAVE A COMPANION APPLICATION.
WE HAVE SUBMITTED IT FOR CONDITIONAL USE FOR A SPECIFIC PROPERTY.
SO WE'LL BE SEEING YOU AGAIN NEXT MONTH, HOPEFULLY.
AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SEEING NONE. LAURA IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS REQUEST? ELEMENTS. THE FLOOR IS NOW BROUGHT BACK TO THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THE CASE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? YEAH. PERSONALLY, I'D RATHER SEE CAR WASHES IN GENERAL COMMERCIAL RATHER THAN COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, BUT SO THIS JUST ALLOWS THAT AS A TEXTUAL AND AS A CONDITIONAL USE.
[01:20:01]
SO MOTION TO APPROVE T 23 000 TEN.ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THIS IS CASE T 23 00012 CONDITIONAL USES FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
THIS IS DRIVEN BY STAFF AND IT IS A REQUEST FOR A TEXTUAL AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 185 IN REGARDS TO CONDITIONAL USES TO INCORPORATE A NEW SECTION 185.089 FOR CONDITIONS GOVERNING APPLICATIONS, AND IT WOULD REPEAL SECTION 185 202 AND GOVERN THE WAY APPLICATIONS AND PROCESSES ARE HANDLED.
WHAT STAFF HAS FOUND IS THAT CONDITIONAL USES RIGHT NOW THEY PUT CITY COUNCIL PUTS A TIME LIMIT ON IT THAT THEY SAY OKAY ONE YEAR AND THAT THAT IS PART OF WHAT THEY DO.
BUT IT IS NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN OUR CODE.
SO THIS IS TO BRING CORRECTION TO THAT.
YOU AS THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I.
SO COULD YOU REPEAT THAT? YOU'D LIKE STAFF TO EXPLAIN THE BENEFITS.
WHAT'S COMING FORWARD TO YOU IS SOME LANGUAGE THAT USUALLY IS IN OUR RESOLUTIONS FOR HOW LONG? A CONDITIONAL USE IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT IS AFFILIATED WITH THE PROPERTY FOR UNTIL THE USE IS IMPLEMENTED.
AND THE WAY IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN, IT SAYS IT COMMENCES AT THE SAME TIME THAT IT RECEIVES DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL OR A BUILDING PERMIT, FOR INSTANCE, WHICH IS TYPICALLY LONGER THAN ONE YEAR.
SO THERE WAS A REFERENCE POINT FOR APPLICANTS TO KNOW HOW LONG THAT EXPIRATION DATE WAS FOR.
IS THERE ANY CHANGE IN THOSE TWO? I COULDN'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE.
IS IT JUST A DUPLICATION ON 219? PAGE 219 LISTS THE.
CHAPTER 185, 89, AND THEN AGAIN ON PAGE 221, THE SAME THING IS LISTED.
IS THERE ANY CHANGE IN THAT OR IS IT JUST A DUPLICATION? UM, I AM NOT SURE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
WE'RE REPEALING 202 SECTION 202 AND AND WEAVING IT INTO 0.89.
AND IN IN 221, ITEM B HAS CROSS-OUTS IN IT WHERE THE CITY SHOULD PRESCRIBE A TIME INSTEAD OF THE CITY COUNCIL PRESCRIBING A TIME LIMIT.
SO THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THOSE TWO.
YOU IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS REQUEST? THEN IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? YES. MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE T 23 000 12.
OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE, AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
[01:25:04]
GOOD EVENING. JESSE ANDERSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT.BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, OUR FINAL CASE IS T 20 3-00004.
THE APPLICANT IS THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT FROM THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
THIS APPLICATION WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED CITYWIDE.
THE AMENDED SECTION IN QUESTION IS FOR CITY OF PALM BAY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES, TITLE 17 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 185 ZONING CODE SECTION 185 .202.
THAT IS NOT CORRECT. YES, IT IS.
SORRY. TO ESTABLISH FACTORS OF ANALYSIS FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.
THE PROPOSED TEXTUAL AMENDMENT WILL CODIFY LANGUAGE THAT ESTABLISHES FACTORS OF ANALYSIS REQUIRED FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD TO CONSIDER WHEN MAKING RECOMMENDATION ON AMENDMENT REQUESTS TO CITY COUNCIL.
SO TO ALLEVIATE THAT CONCERN, WHAT THAT DOES MEAN IS WE HAVE AN INTENTION THAT THE CODIFIED LANGUAGE IS SOMETHING THAT APPLICANTS WILL RESPOND TO AND THEN STAFF WILL ANALYZE THAT INSIDE OF THE STAFF REPORT.
SO THE CONSIDERATION OF THESE FACTORS WILL RESULT IN A MORE THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF REQUESTS TO ENSURE THAT THEY COMPLY WITH AND FURTHER INITIATE THE PERTINENT FLORIDA STATUTES, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ANY SUPPORTING STRATEGIC PLANS IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
EXAMPLES OF TOPICAL AREAS CONSIDERED WITHIN THESE FACTORS OF ANALYSIS ARE LOCAL ECONOMIC IMPACTS, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, LAND USE, COMPATIBILITY AND CONSISTENCY AND PUBLIC AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE.
THE ADOPTION OF THESE FACTORS OF ANALYSIS, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, WILL ASSIST COUNCIL AS WELL AS YOURSELVES IN MAKING SURE THAT WE MAKE PROPER PLANNING DETERMINATIONS FOR GOING FORWARD IN TERMS OF OUR LAND USE AND ESPECIALLY OUR ENTITLEMENT PROCESS WITH OUR ZONING REGULATIONS AS WELL.
SO CASE NUMBER T 23 0004 MEETS THE MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR A TEXTUAL AMENDMENT AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND THE PROPOSED TEXTUAL AMENDMENT FOR APPROVAL AND WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. MR. ANDERSON IS BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS REQUEST? NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED AND THE CASE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
OR DO I HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION OR A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE T23 00004.
WE HAVE A SECOND? YES, MISS MCLEAN.
OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THAT CONCLUDES THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.
WE'RE DISMISSED. WE'RE OVER.
