No disclosure of Ex Parte Communications was made by the Commissioners. The agenda order was modified. Fifth Item of Business: ZB 19-04: Official Zoning Map Amendment. A request to amend the Official Zoning Map from CG (Commercial General) to PMX-MID (Planned Mixed -Use: Medium Rise) for the property generally located at the southeast corner of Oxford Road and SR 436. Ms. Christina Hyson, Planner I, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated May 8, 2019, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Hyson said staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide a recommendation of denial to the City Commission for ZB 19-04 to amend the Official Zoning Map from CG (Commercial General) to PMX-MID (Planned Mixed -Use: Medium Rise) for the subject property generally located at the southeast corner of Oxford Road and State Road 436. She said staffs recommendation is based on the findings of fact and conclusions of the staff report dated May 8, 2019, and the following findings regarding the proposed change to the Official Zoning Map: 1. The requested amendment to the Official Zoning Map does not conform to Policies 1.5 and 8.2 of the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and does not comply with Section 2-4.3, Section 2-4.4, and Section 2-5.2 of the City's Unified Land Development Regulations; and 2. The requested amendment to the Official Zoning Map is not consistent with the orderly development of land use patterns. In response to the Commission's question regarding if there has been any recent instances of properties with a split zoning within a parcel, Ms. Hyson said she was not aware of any. She said there are instances where the Seminole County Property Appraiser's Office combined properties without staffs knowledge. She said there has been some inconsistencies that were found later that the zonings were different. In response to the Commission's question, Ms. Hyson said in those cases staff would support having a uniformed designation across the property. A general discussion ensued regarding the subject property not having direct access to State Road 436. Ms. Reischmann explained that this is a lot split and there would be no recorded easement because it is one lot. Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Spencer Bass, RaceTrac representative came forward. Mr. Bass said RaceTrac is no longer interested in pursuing the rezoning application. Mr. Henson 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.
