CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of May 13, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 12 of 1S Budget Impact: This action will temporarily limit the future growth of the City's general revenue based on the exemptions approved by the City Commission. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Interim Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinance 13 -1389. Audience Input: The following individual came forward to address Ordinance 13 -1389. Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, voiced opposition to the ordinance, stating he felt there was no benefit to the businesses already established in the City which had no room for expansion and he felt it was wrong to create ordinances which did not benefit everyone equally. He stated that the ordinance would be unfair to the City's residents, as they would not benefit from tax revenues the City would not receive as a result of the program. No one else came forward. Mr. Newton noted there was a reference in the ordinance title to an application fee, but that there was no such reference in the body of the ordinance. He advised that the ordinance would be amended to delete the reference to the application fee prior to the second reading. MOTION: Vice Mayor Solomon moved to approve Ordinance 13 -1389 on first reading, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Aramendia. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5 -0. B. Ordinance 13 -1390 — Amendment to the Future Land Use Element Map for Properties Located in the Vicinity of U.S. Highway 17 -92 and Triplet Lake Drive and a Text Amendment (LPA 13 -03) The City Clerk read Ordinance 13 -1390 by title as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, TO AMEND THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BY AMENDING THE OFFICIAL FUTURE LAND USE MAP ESTABLISHING THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF MAJOR THOROUGHFARE MIXED USE FOR THE PARCELS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 OF THIS ORDINANCE; AMENDING TEXT IN FLU POLICY 1.22, MAJOR THOROUGHFARE MIXED USE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Ms. Smith reminded the Commission that she had included information regarding this item in her earlier presentation. She advised that there were ten (10) properties for which a Future Land Use amendment was being proposed to Major Thoroughfare Mixed Use. She stated that the City owned seven (7) of the ten (10) properties and that the other property owners had been advised of the proposed land use change and had no objections. She added that in addition to the amendment to the fixture land use, staff was also recommending a text amendment to the Future Land Use Policy regarding mixed uses, to allow mixed use rather than require it. She stated that this was being proposed in order to avoid inhibiting any redevelopment due to financing issues.
