CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of May 13, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 10 of 18 Hall were being proposed to be rezoned to PMX -MID (Planned Mixed Use — Medium Rise). She added that the properties being considered for the rezoning consisted oftwenty -two (22) properties totaling approximately seventeen (17) acres, and that sixteen (16) of the twenty -two properties were City - owned. Ms. Smith further explained that of the twenty -two (22) properties being considered for rezoning, ten (10) were also being considered on a later agenda item for amendment to the Future Land Use designation to Major Thoroughfare Mixed Use (MTMU). She added that a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was also being requested to allow a mix of uses rather than requiring a mix of uses within the MTMU district. Ms. Smith stated that the rezoning request was considered to be a large scale map amendment as the combined properties totaled in excess of ten acres, and that two public hearings would be required. She stated that if approved by the Commission, the second readings for both the rezoning and the Future Land Use amendments would be scheduled for the June 10, 2013 Commission meeting. Ms. Smith advised that the findings provided in the Planning and Zoning Commission staff reports concluded that the proposed zoning amendments and the proposed Future Land Use amendments were consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; compatible with the surrounding mix of zonings and land uses; would not negatively impact the City's ability to provide set-vices; and would be a positive catalyst for economic redevelopment. She added that staff's recommendation was for Commission approval of the amendments. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Interim Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinance 13 -1391 on first reading. Public Hearing: Mayor Glancy opened the public hearing relative to Ordinance 13 -1391. The following individuals came forward; 1. Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, expressed concerns about the proposed rezoning, stating he would recommend that residential zoning remain residential; that there be no change in zoning of the park area; and that there be no changes in the zoning of the commercial properties until it is determined what type of development will be proposed on those properties. 2. Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, reiterated his feeling that there was a need for a citizens' review board and expressed concerns regarding whether residents had been fully informed about what effect the plans for development in the area could have on the City. He further voiced his concerns that the development plans and proposed rezoning would negatively affect the value of the City's residential areas, and would have a negative impact on existing businesses. 3. Mr. Dana Callan, 110 North Sunset Drive, thanked the City Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission for taking citizens' concerns into consideration in the proposed amendments. No one else came forward. Mayor Glancy closed the public hearing relative to Ordinance 13 -1391.
