Planning & Zoning Commission! Local Planning Agency March 22, 2006 Page 2 stated the Planning Division Staff recommends approval of LPA 06-01 and ZB 06-01 for the property located at 11 Lemon Lane, Casselberry, Florida based on the staff report dated February 3, 2006, the Voluntary Development Commitment, and the following findings of fact: 1. The Voluntary Development Commitment ensures the development of the site will conform to the City's CRA master plan, CRA design standards, and other City regulations. 2. The future land use and zoning designations are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 3. The future land use and zoning designations are compatible with the surrounding mix of zonings and land uses. 4. The future land use and zoning designations will improve the economic redevelopment of the area and will increase property values. A discussion ensued regarding Voluntary Development Commitment #06-01. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Dorsten stated that a condition could be added that the property owner must combine the subject property prior to site plan approval. A correction was made to 3.b.ii to change "eastern" to "western". The access and landscaping along Lemon Lane was discussed.
