Planning & Zoning Commission! Local Planning Agency June 28, 2006 Page 2 of 14 Planning Division Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request for the subject property at 750 Seminola Boulevard, from R-9 (Residential with a minimum lot size of 9,000 sq ft) to RMF-13 (Residential Multi-Family, 13 units per acre), based on the findings of fact and conclusions, the staff report dated June 22, 2006, the property survey (Attachment B), and the reasons stated in the staff report which are: 1. They are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. They are compatible with the surrounding mix of zonings and land uses. 3. They will improve the economic redevelopment of the area and will increase property values. Mr. Kelley asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Truman Willard, Kingdom Hall Church, said it is the Church's intention to build on the property. He said there are a few issues that need to be worked out before he can execute a developer's agreement. Mr. Kelley asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. No one came forward. A brief discussion ensued regarding the execution of a developer's agreement. Mr. Dorsten requested guidance from the Commission regarding the developer's agreement. Mr. Henson stated his concern is that the property remains in the hands of the church. Mr. Henson suggested locating the retention ponds to provide buffering for the adjacent single-family homes. Mr. Kelley asked for a motion to address ZB 06-04. Mr. Henson recommended approval of ZB 06-04 based on the staff memo dated June 22, 2006 to the Planning and Zoning Commission from Mr. Matt Dorsten including the findings outlined in the staff report and approval is contingent upon successful negotiation of a developer's commitment to ensure the church use for the property. Mr. Weinroth seconded the motion. The Board was polled. David Henson Yes Michael Buchanan Yes Harley Parkhurst Yes Stanley Weinroth Yes Paul Kelley Yes Nathan Van Meter Yes Edmund Bakalla Yes The motion passed unanimously.
