CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of June 10, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 12 of 16 Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing relative to Ordinance 13 -1391 was published in the Orlando Sentinel on May 30, 2013. Staff Presentation: Interim Community Development Director Sandra explained that this item pertained to the zoning change that went hand in hand with the future land use changed just adopted. She noted that the zoning amendment involved twenty -two (22) parcels of property, whereas the land use change only involved ten (10). She stated the reason for this was because many of the properties for which the zoning amendment was being requested had already been changed to the MTUM (Major Thoroughfare Mixed Use) land use designation. Ms. Smith advised that there were two zoning classifications associated with the Major Thoroughfare Mixed Use designation, PMX -HIGH and PMX -MID. She stated that what was being requested for this item was the PMX -MID designation which allows up to six stories in height and provides for a mix of commercial and residential uses. She added that the residential uses could accommodate up to twenty -five (25) dwelling units per acre. She noted that this was the second reading for this ordinance and was a public hearing. 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 -1390. Public Hearing: Mayor Glancy opened the public hearing relative to Ordinance 13 -1390. The following individuals came forward: 1. Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, spoke in opposition to Ordinance 13 -1390, expressing concerns about making any changes to the usage of park space. He also voiced concerns about the negative effect he felt the development of high rise buildings and additional office buildings in these locations would have on the family values and image of the City. 2. Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, also spoke in opposition to Ordinance 13- 1390, reiterating his earlier concerns about changing the zoning or usage of City park space, and stating he would not recommend any changes at this time. No one else came forward. Mayor Glancy closed the public hearing relative to Ordinance 13 -1391 Ms. Smith advised that the language regarding the effective date of Ordinance 13 -1391 had also been amended to read as follows: "This Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption for properties A, B, C, I, K, L, M, N, Q, R T and U, as referenced in Section 1 above. This Ordinance shall become effective for properties D, E, F, G, H, O, P, S, V and W, as referenced in Section 1 above, upon the effective date of Ordinance 13 -1390. If Ordinance 13 -1390 does not become effective, then the zoning shall not change for properties D, E, F, G, H, O, P, S, V and W, as referenced in Section 1 above." She explained that basically this meant that should the future land use designation not be approved by the State, then the zoning changes would not come into effect, but if it was approved by the State, then the zoning changes would come into effect. MOTION: Vice Mayor Solomon moved to adopt Ordinance 13 -1391, on second and final reading, as amended. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Aramendia.
