Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency October 11, 2017 Page 2 Fifth Item of Business: CU 17-17: 177 Anchor Road. A conditional use request to allow a place of worship located at 177 Anchor Road. Parcel ID 17-21-30-506-OCOO-0020. Ms. Christina Hyson, Planner I, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated October 11, 2017, and a PowerPoint presentation to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy of the PowerPoint presentation is attached and made a part of the minutes). Ms. Hyson said staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission approve CU 17-17 to allow a place of worship at 177 Anchor Road based on the staff report dated October 11, 2017 and the nine (9) conditions of approval outlined in the staff report. A general discussion ensued regarding the parking requirements for the site. The Commission expressed a concern with the limited parking spaces available for the other units on the site. Ms. Hyson explained that the applicant is working with staff to add additional parking to the site. In response to the Commission's question regarding a statement in the staff report that states the applicant is currently occupying the site, Ms. Hyson said there was an error in the staff report. She said when she visited the site the unit was empty. Mr. Henson stated that the applicant was not present. Mr. Henson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. No one came forward. A brief discussion ensued regarding the limited parking on the site. Ms. Emily Hanna, Chief Planner, suggested adding an additional condition of approval to designate the parking spaces for the church use. In response to the Commission's question regarding the church limiting other uses allowed in an industrial zoning district, Ms. Hanna stated it would affect alcohol sales and adult entertainment, which are not allowed in the Community Redevelopment District (CRD). She said that some of the non-traditional uses such as body art and check cashing are prohibited in the CRD and they tend to locate on major thoroughfares to be visible to the public. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address CU 17-17. Mr. Bakalla made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve CU 17-17 to allow a place of worship at 177 Anchor Road based on the findings of fact and conclusions of the staff report dated October 11, 2017, and the nine (9) conditions of approval outlined in the staff report with the addition of condition no. ten stating that the ten (10) parking spaces including the ADA space
