CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of November 18, 2019 — Regular Meeting Page 11 of 18 10. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES No items were presented for consideration on this agenda. 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Second Reading of Ordinance 19-1524 — Amending the Official Zoning Designation for Property Located at 245 Lake Ellen Drive (ZB 19-07) Mayor Glancy left the Commission Chambers at S: 38 p.m. The City Clerk 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." Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing relative to second reading of Ordinance 19-1524 was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, November 7, 2019. Staff Presentation: Community Development Director Chris Bowley 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. The subject property is under common ownership with the adjacent commercial parcel located at 3352 S. U.S. Highway 17-92. The proposed amendment will change the zoning designation to CG to provide consistent entitlements that will support the combination of two lots for development. Combining the lots will increase the development potential of both properties and enhance opportunities for economic development. 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, Mr. Bowley advised that some compatibility controls would be added at the site plan Development Review Committee level which would include things like screening, buffering, respecting adjacency from lower density residential to the west and directional access management so it doesn't steer traffic towards the neighborhoods but away towards U.S. Highway 17-92.
