<br />Community Redevetopment Agency <br />June 13. 2008 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br />Commissioner Solomon said the payday loan businesses are in Casselberry because it was allowed to <br /> <br />occur. Mr. Casselberry felt that it could be an immigration issue. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith explained that the CRA currently prohibits a stand-alone payday loan establishment; however, <br /> <br />that type of business is allowed in a multi-use tenant. Ms. Smith asked the CRA Board to make a determination if <br /> <br />payday loan businesses should be prohibit entirely in the CRD. <br /> <br />Mr. Daigle restated his motion to prohibit check cashing, payday loans and money transmitters in CRD <br /> <br />and remove the stand-alone requirement from Exhibit A that was included in the staff report. There was no second; <br /> <br />therefore, the motion failed. <br /> <br />A lengthy discussion ensued regarding prohibiting payday loan businesses in stand-alone and multi-tenant <br /> <br />facilities in the CRD and the negative impacts from the adjacent jurisdictions. Commissioner Solomon said that Mr. <br /> <br />John Metsopoulos, Seminole County US 17-92 CRA Program Manager, is trying to raise the standards along the US <br /> <br />Highway 17-92 corridor. <br /> <br />Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. easselberry <br /> <br />expressed a concern regarding restriction of commerce other than banking because it forces people to travel to <br /> <br />transfer money. He suggested that the CRA should be more concerned with the loan portion of the business. <br /> <br />Mr. McGregor made a motion to support the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation to the <br /> <br />City Commission. Mr. Jones seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. <br /> <br />Ninth Item of Business: Approval of Invoices for Payment <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise reviewed the following invoices that were included in the CRA meeting packet: <br /> <br />1.
