Planning & Zoning Commission! Local Planning Agency June 28, 2006 Page 5 of 14 Commission review the letter and make a recommendation to the City Commission on whether any of the sites listed in the letter would be appropriate for the relocation of Club Juana. Ms. Reischmann explained that if the Commission finds that any of the sites listed in the letter were acceptable sites it would require revising the zoning scheme and changing the ordinances. Ms. Reischmann said she and Mr. Anthony Garganese, special counsel, are available to answer any questions. Ms. Smith stated the following changes are being made to the existing future land use designation I-M: 1. Change D: "Properties designated as Industrial-Medium shall not be directly visible by the traveling public from a major arterial or colloctor roadway". 2. Change E: "Properties designated as Industrial-Medium shall not have frontage along a major arterial or colloctor roadway" 3. Addition of H: "Properties designated Industrial-Medium shall be the only location for adult entertainment establishments in the City". Ms. Reischmann stated that each time adult entertainment establishment is referenced it should include a reference to sexually-oriented businesses. After a brief discussion, Mr. Kelley asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Ms. Diane Jackson, 811 Gee Creek Court, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Ms. Jackson said she is concerned about a sexually-oriented business 500' from her home. Ms. Jackson fett a sexually- oriented business would increase crime and drugs in her neighborhood. She was concerned for her safety. Mr. Steve Mason, attorney, 1643 Hillcrest Street, Orlando, Florida came forward. Mr. Mason said he has been representing Mr. Pinter for approximately 10 years. Mr. Mason stated that the City of Casselberry's Code is operated under the dispersal theory and now it is being transformed to a congregation theory. He said this type of zoning would congregate all the adult entertainment businesses into one small zone. Mr. Mason said that Mr. Pinter appears to be a well respected and good neighbor of the community. Mr. Mason said Mr. Pinter's business is a current existing use. He is a grandfathered non-conforming use in the City of Casselberry. Mr. Mason requested the City amend this and allow Mr. Pinter to choose, with the City's approval, a site in Casselberry where he can relocate Club Juana. Mr. Mason said that Mr. Pinter did not close Club Juana voluntarily. Mr. Mason requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider giving Mr. Pinter a grandfathered site within Casselberry outside the Industrial Medium zoning.
