Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency September8, 2010 Page 4 Ms. Sandra Smith, Chief Planner, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated September 8, 2010 supported by a PowerPoint presentation, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy is on file in the Community Development Department). Ms. Smith said the Planning Division Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request for the thirteen City Center and Concord Center properties as provided on Exhibit A to the ordinance for those properties located easterly of US Highway 17-92, from "CG" and "PMX-H" to "PMX-Mid" based on the staff report dated September 8, 2010 and the following findings regarding the rezoning: 1. It is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. It is consistent with the Major Thoroughfare Mixed Use (MTMU) Future Land Use Map designation. 3. It is compatible with the surrounding mix of zonings and land uses. 4. It will improve the economic redevelopment of the area and will increase property values, A brief discussion ensued regarding site plan modifications for the minimum living area size requirements. Mr. Parkhurst asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Casselberry felt that people did not want to live on the highway on a permanent basis. He recommended that staff contact the appraisers that have prepared appraisals for the property to assist in determining the best designation for marketing each property. Mr. Casselberry also recommended not rezoning land that was not upland above the 100 year flood or whatever is typically allowed for a building. He also suggested that staff research the title of the land because he was not sure if the city owned all the land involved in the rezoning. After a brief discussion, Mr. Parkhurst asked for a motion to address ZB 10-02. Mr. Aramendia made a motion to provide a favorable recommendation for ZB 10-02 to the City Commission based on the staff report dated September 8, 2010 from Ms. Smith to the Planning and Zoning Commission as presented. Mr. Bakalla seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Sixth Item of Business: ®ther Business. A discussion ensued regarding the November and December Planning and Zoning Commission meetings for November and December. It was decided that the second meeting of each month would be cancelled with the stipulation that a special meeting could be scheduled if needed.
