Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes March 13, 2019 Page 6 to the uses, glass type and three (3) parcels were eliminated from the overlay district. In response to the Commission's question regarding height restrictions, Ms. Hanna stated that the zoning dictates the building height. Mr. Dean Fathelbab, Planner II, reviewed the definitions for bars and lounges and limited commercial/neighborhood commercial activities. Mr. Henson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. Tom Sullivan, Gray Robinson Law Firm, 301 East Pine Street, Orlando, Florida came forward. Mr. Sullivan said he was present on behalf of RaceTrac Petroleum regarding the parcels at State Road 436 and Oxford Road - specifically the SunTrust and the old service station parcel. He said these parcels are included in the proposed Oxford Park Overlay District. Mr. Sullivan said in December 2018 a comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning application for the properties was submitted to the City. He said the project consists of four (4) acres with a new RaceTrac service station on half of that land and with other uses on the remainder. He said they were originally told in January that this item would be on tonight's agenda. Mr. Sullivan said the overlay district prohibits service stations. He requested the Planning and Zoning Commission consider modifying the overlay in a couple of respects. Mr. Sullivan distributed a redlined copy of the proposed ordinance requesting a change for service stations/fuel dispensing from a prohibited use to a conditional use for the four (4) asterisk parcels on page 2 of the ordinance (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). Mr. Sullivan said they are looking for a fair opportunity to come before the Commission to evaluate their comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning and conditional use request. Mr. Brian Terry, Insite Studio, 8841 Okeechobee Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida came forward. Mr. Terry distributed a color concept of the proposed project (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). Mr. Terry said the thought and inspiration that goes in to creating a community and place that is unique to Casselberry is phenomenal. He said that color concept that was distributed is a basic plan. Mr. Terry said that RaceTrac is very interested in being a part of Casselberry at State Road 436/Oxford Road. He said RaceTrac controls the entire four (4) acres and they have opportunities that come with the development plan for the remainder of the property. He
