Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes September 11, 2019 Page 3 Ms. Christina Hyson, Planner II, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated September 11, 2019 to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. A copy of the rezoning notification letter that was sent to the residents within 500 feet of the subject property along with a copy of the mailing labels for those property owners was distributed to the Planning and Zoning Commission (copies are attached and made a part of the minutes). Ms. Hyson said staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide a favorable recommendation to the City Commission for ZB 19-07 to amend the Official Zoning Map from R-9 (Low Density Single -Family) to CG (Commercial General) for the subject property located at 245 Lake Ellen Drive. She said staffs recommendation is based on the findings of fact and conclusions of the staff report dated September 11, 2019, and the three (3) findings regarding the proposed change to the Official Zoning Map outlined in the staff report. The finding of facts are: 1. The requested amendment to the Official Zoning Map is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Commercial Future Land Use designation; and 2. The requested amendment to the Official Zoning Map is compatible with the surrounding mix of land uses and zoning districts; and 3. 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 the Commission's question, Ms. Hyson explained that Attachment B is a Florida Statute requirement and that verbiage would be included in future staff reports. Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Bobby Wanas, 431 East Horatio Avenue, Maitland, Florida came forward. Mr. Wanas said he agrees with staffs recommendations. Mr. Henson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Ms. Michele Throm, 235 Lake Ellen Drive, Casselberry, Florida came forward.

She requested the zoning remain as residential. Mr. Laurence Toncic, 243 Lake Ellen Drive, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Toncic expressed concerns with noise and the impact to his neighborhood.
