CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of July 25, 2022 — Regular Meeting Page 16 of 20 MOTION: Vice Mayor Aramendia moved to approve setting the tentative millage rate at 2.9000 mills and the voted debt millage rate at 0.6443 mills for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 4-0. B. Presentation: Amendments for Economic Development Staff Presentation: City Manager Randy Newlon advised that this item was for the purpose of presenting proposed amendments to the City of Casselberry Future Land Use Element and Unified Land Development Regulations to support economic development. In April of 2022 staff reported to the City Commission that there were some developers who had approached the City with some bonafide and attractive potential projects they would like to put -sue; however, the existing restrictions in the City's Code prohibited those projects from being developed in the City. As a result of receiving this information, the City Commission agreed by consensus to direct staff to pursue preparation of ordinances amending the Code which would reduce some of the restrictions to development, and which would potentially allow some of these projects to meet the City's criteria for approval. After research, staff concluded that amendments would be needed to the Future Land Use Element, to Article V of the Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDRs), and also to other sections of the City's Code of Ordinances, including definitions and a glossary, various tables, and regulations relating to the Oxford Park Overlay District, and to vehicular services. Staff, together with the City Attorney, have prepared several proposed ordinances which would allow broader development within the City, which would then hopefully incentivize developers to locate new businesses within the City of Casselberry rather than in neighboring cities. Mr. Newlon then gave a which included an overview of the proposed changes, as follows: Future Land Use Element — needs a text amendment to accommodate new land use for Medium -rise with mixed uses o Amendment allows for density & intensity increases in Major Thoroughfare Mixed - Use (MTMU) land use classification within the PMX-High criteria and along U.S. Highway 17-92 and State Road (SR) 436 as follows: ■ Increases PMX-High densities from 30 to 80 dwelling units per acre ■ Increases PMX-High intensities from 1.5 to 2.0 floor area ration (FAR) ■ Allows for Medium -rise with mixed uses land use type Article V (definitions) — updates & amends the Glossary of the Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDRs) o Defines uses already developed but which lacked a definition in the Code (i.e., car washes) o Adds definitions for new uses such as Mid -rise dwellings with mixed uses, large retail establishments and micro-breweries/micro-wineries o Makes consistent definitions between the land uses listed on Table 2-5.3 and Article V, Glossary o Land uses listed on the table now have corresponding definitions ULDR (Unified Land Development Regulations) Amendments: o Updating Section 2-5.2 allows for increased densities and intensities in the PMX-High zoning district and along U.S. Highway 17-92 and State Road 436 (SR 436) o Amends Table 2-5.3 and appropriately locates the uses on the table ■ Adds or updates titles for Mid -rise dwellings with mixed uses, home-based
