Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency October 8, 2014 Page 10 building is all one unit, the PRD standards should be based on the building height at the highest point which is over 70 feet. He said this would result in a setback for the entire building including Lake Ann Lane and adjacent residential properties of at least 90 feet. He said it is the applicant's burden to demonstrate that the proposal satisfied all of the Casselberry's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Development Requirements; therefore, the conditional use must be denied. He said it is also incumbent on the applicant to demonstrate how the proposed features of the PRD including uses, densities and intensities are compatible with the surrounding uses. He said that it is quite evident to their legal counsel that this development falls out on all accounts; therefore, he asked the Planning & Zoning Commission to deny the application. Mr. Lightbody said it is incumbent upon the Planning and Zoning Commission to protect our neighborhoods, lakes and the environment in Casselberry and to uphold and comply with the City Code and Comprehensive Plan which this project does not do. Mr. David Chulak, 207 Ranch Road, Winter Park, Florida, came forward to speak in opposition to this project. Mr. Chulak said that Section 4 -20 of the ULDR states that the development is supposed to provide safe and convenient internal vehicle circulation. He said the utility area cannot be accessed without going out to Lake Ann Lane which will increase traffic on that road. Mr. Sorensen said a comment was made referencing City Code regarding internal traffic circulation and that portion of the Code is used for subdivision requirements and it does not apply to this project. He said the northern parking lot is for staff and the other parking is for everyone else. He said the parking lots serve two different functions and there would not be traffic between the two parking lots. Mr. Sorensen said the mitigative technique criteria in a conditional use are meant for things such as uses that would cause odors or noise. He said with a nursing home there are no mitigative techniques that would be required. After a brief discussion, Mr. Hale asked for a motion to address CU 14 -12. Mr. Henson made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve CU 14 -12, conditional use for an assisted living facility, based on the information provided in the staff report dated October 8, 2014, the attached site plan dated October 2, 2014 as may be amended by the City Commission with the attachments of Exhibits A, B, C, D, E and F those being the PRD standards, site plan dated October 2, 2014, building elevations, photometric plan, landscape plan dated October 2, 2014 and the conservation easement. Mr. Wise seconded the motion.
