Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes November 14, 2018 Page 8 Mr. Bakalla 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. In response to the Commission's question, Ms. Hanna stated that the adjacent properties located within 300' were notified of the future land use and rezoning; however, no notification is required for the site plan review process for either the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Commission, Ms. Hanna explained that ordinances that are reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Commission for the Code changes would be advertised in the newspaper. The Commission expressed a concern with making such an important decision in an abbreviated time frame with the number of waivers/exceptions and changes to the City Code. A brief discussion ensued regarding the Commission being made aware of large projects prior to scheduling the item for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Hanna suggested that staff could provide the Development Review Committee agendas to the Commission for their information. She said the Commission is welcome to attend the meeting. The Commission expressed a concern with the number of code changes that need to be reviewed by the City Commission before this project could move forward. The Commission felt that this item was brought prematurely to Planning and Zoning Commission before the City Commission had time to review the legislation in progress. Ms. Hanna explained the Development Review Committee review process for site plan approval. Ms. Hanna said this item went before the Development Review Committee as a discussion -only item. She said it came to light at the second Development Review Committee meeting that the City's Code is antiquated and staff moved very quickly and diligently to do what they could to keep the project on time with their closing date. In response to the Commission's question, Ms. Hanna said a site plan is subject to change based on the comments from the Development Review Committee meetings. The Commission requested that staff include the Development Review Committee comments with the Planning and Zoning Commission staff reports. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the concern with the traffic safety on Red Bug Lake Road due to the fact there would not be a deceleration lane provided for this project and the option of adding a condition of approval for a deceleration lane. Mr. Bakalla asked for a motion to address SPR 18-25. Mr. Van Meter made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a recommendation of approval to the City Commission for the proposed Development of Community Impact site plan application for the Azul at Lake Howell (SPR 18-25) based on the site plan with a revision date of November
