Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinance 19-1511 on first reading. Public Hearing: Mayor Glancy stated this was a public hearing to hear and consider comments and questions regarding Ordinance 19-1511. Mayor Glancy opened the floor for public participation. The following individuals came forward: 1. Mr. Tom Sullivan with the Gray Robinson Law Firm, 301 East Pine Street, Orlando, provided a concept plan, two example photos and a proposed red -line copy of Ordinance 19-1511 to the City Clerk for the record and distribution to the City Commission. He then explained that he was present on behalf of RaceTrac Petroleum which currently had a project in the comprehensive planning and rezoning stages of development with the City for parcels located at State Road 436 and Oxford Road, and requested that the City Commission consider amending the ordinance to allow Service Stations/Fuel Dispensing/Gas Stations as a conditional use in the Oxford Park Overlay District. 2. Mr. Brian Terry, Land planner and Landscape Architect with Insite Studio, the planning firm for the proposed RaceTrac project at Oxford Road and State Road 436, gave an overview of the conceptual plan which had been provided by Mr. Sullivan, explaining that the plan identified how the RaceTrac gas station could fit into the vision for and within the confines of the Oxford Park Overlay District. He also requested that the City consider allowing the gas station as a conditional use within the Overlay District. 3. Ms. Samantha Moore, Project Manager with RaceTrac Petroleum, emphasized the differences between a new RaceTrac and what is traditionally thought of as a gas station and convenience store. She gave an overview of the amenities which would be part of the internal uses, and advised that ongoing maintenance of the site would not be an issue, as corporate landscape agreements were uniform across all RaceTrac sites. She also agreed that the project would blend well with the pedestrian friendly desired use of the Overlay District and requested that the City consider allowing gas stations as a conditional use in the Overlay District. 4. Mr. Ken Wright, Attorney with the Shutts and Bowen Law Firm, 300 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, stated he was present on behalf of SunTrust, the owner of the parcel under contract for sale to RaceTrac Petroleum, and also spoke in favor of allowing Service Stations/Fuel Dispensing/Gas Stations as a conditional use within the Oxford Park Overlay District, adding that it would be directly compatible with Seminole County's provisions.
