Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency January 8, 2014 Page 3 He said that good sidewalks were removed and there are neighborhoods that are in need of sidewalks. He said get government out of property and make sure they are providing services only. Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Casselberry said he is not a big fan of CRA's because the long term CRA's do not put money back into the tax base until redevelopment. He said it appears that most of the money spent by the City's CRA was for land acquisition. He said the flyover delayed development in the City. He said as far as he knows the City did not start the flyover project. He said he read the original report and the intersection was supposed to be at a Level Service F in 2014. Mr. Casselberry said that he thought that the City Commission controls development in the City and the CRA is a committee type organization that votes on money. Mr. Casselberry said at this time he is in favor of the CRA term extension. Mr. Meadows asked for a motion to address CRA 14 -01. Mr. Hale made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission acting as the City's Local Planning Agency recommend approval of the Community Redevelopment Agency Plan Update and find that it is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan as presented to the Commission in the staff report. Mr. Bryan seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Eighth Item of Business: CU 14 -01: 420 Live Oaks Blvd /LOC Partners, LLC. Conditional use request to allow a church use within the Industrial zoning district. Ms. Marie Regan, Planner II, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated January 8, 2014, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy is on file in the Community Development Department). Ms. Regan said staff recommends approval of the conditional use request. She said the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval of CU 14 -01 to allow the use of a church at 420 Live Oaks Boulevard should be based on the findings of fact and conclusions of the staff report dated January 8, 2014, and the following conditions: 1. All church activity shall be conducted inside the building. 2. Any expansion of the area above 3100 square feet or increase in intensity of the use as a church shall require an additional conditional use review and approval. 3. Special Events shall not be permitted within the Industrial zoning district as defined in Section 14 -42 of the City's Unified Land Development Code. 4. The use shall remain in complete compliance with all City, County and State requirements. 5. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the conditional use shall become null and void. In response to the Commission's question regarding property taxes for the site, Ms. Smith explained that the property is owned by a private owner and it does not have any type of tax deferral because of the church use.
