Ordinance 19-1524 — Amending the Official Zoning Designation for Property Located at 245 Lake Ellen Drive (ZB 19-07) The City Cleric read Ordinance 19-1524 by title, as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, TO AMEND THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY OFFICIAL ZONING MAP AS ESTABLISHED IN CHAPTER II, ARTICLE IV, SECTION 2-4.3, UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED; AMENDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM R-9 (LOW DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY) TO CG (COMMERCIAL GENERAL) FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 0.69 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED AT 245 LAKE ELLEN DRIVE, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION I OF THIS ORDINANCE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Development Services Manager Emily Hanna stated that Ordinance 19-1524 amends the Official Zoning designation from R-9 (Low Density Single -Family) to CG (Commercial General) for the approximately 0.69 -acre parcel located at 245 Lake Ellen Drive. Notification was provided to the surrounding property owners within 500 feet on August 22, 2019, and written notice for the Official Zoning Map amendment was posted on the subject property on August 28, 2019. The Planning and Zoning Commission, serving as the City's Local Planning Agency (LPA), voted unanimously at its meeting on September 11, 2019 to recommend approval of the amendment to the City Commission. The request to amend the Official Zoning Map from R-9 (Low Density Single -Family) to CG (Commercial General) for the subject property is: consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Commercial Future Land Use designation; compatible and consistent with the adjacent land uses and zoning districts; and City water and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property. However, the impact of the proposed Official Zoning Map amendment on existing sewer capacity cannot be determined until the type of use is established and a flow capacity test is completed. In response to a question from Commissioner Hufford, Ms. Hanna advised that the size of the parcel resulting from the combining of this subject parcel with the adjacent commercial parcel which is commonly owned, would be approximately 1.44 acres. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinance 19-1524 on first reading. Audience Participation: The following individual came forward to address Ordinance 19-1524: 1. Ms. Brenda Monger, 15 Plumosa Avenue, expressed concerns about not having received prior notification of the proposed amendment, and about the impact commercial development in the area would have on the surrounding residential areas, including runoff into the small lake and increased traffic flow. No one else came forward.
