CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of September 12, 2022 — Regular Meeting Page 10 of 25 establishment, and microbrewery and micro -winery. The proposed amendments adjust the permitted and conditional uses in Table 2-5.3 without taking away development rights of existing developments. Additional proposed changes to Table 2-5.3 include removing redundances between land uses, updating titles to match glossary definitions, and revising titles to more commonly used terms. Modifications were also made to the footnotes related to pharmacies and storage yards. The proposed amendments to Table 2- 5.4, Size and Dimension Criteria, would modify the PMX-HIGH zoning district to increase the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) from 1.5 to 2.0 and increase the maximum density to 80 dwelling units per acre. These changes are consistent with the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan provided in Ordinance 22-1572. Section 5-21.2, Definition of Terms is proposed to be amended to add new definitions for new land use types, and also existing land use types that did not previously have definitions. The Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the City's Land Planning Agency (LPA) voted unanimously at its meeting on August 10, 2022 to recommend approval of this item to the City Commission. Discussion: In response to a question from Commissioner Meadows, Ms. Hyson and City Attorney Reischmann agreed that since the definition relating to micro -breweries mentions small-scale production facilities, staff and the attorney should look at defining what is meant by that terminology and possibly amending the definition prior to second reading of the ordinance to avoid any ambiguity and future confusion. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager recommended approval of Ordinance 22-1573 on first reading. Public Hearing: Mayor Henson stated this was a public hearing to hear and consider comments and questions regarding Ordinance 22-1573. Mayor Henson opened the floor for public participation. The following individuals came forward to address Ordinance 22-1573: 1. Doug Markovitz, co-owner of Casselberry Liquor, 130 SR 436, again expressed support for increasing density to allow for redevelopment but did not feel large retail establishments such as BJ's were good fit for the City. 2. Brad Markovitz, co-owner of Casselberry Liquor, 130 SR 436, expressed concern that representatives of BJ's Wholesale were not present at the meeting which in his opinion indicated they did not care about the City, and what the City needed was small, independent businesses rather than large retail establishments. 3. Ed Williams of Williams Development Services, 29 E. Pine Street, Orlando, stated that the gentleman at the meeting with him was a representative of the property owner who had already invested significant funds in trying to develop the property for location of a BJ's Wholesale, and he felt that showed that the owner did, in fact, care about the City. No one else came forward to address Ordinance 22-1573. Mayor Henson closed the public hearing relative to Ordinance 22-1573. MOTION: Vice Mayor Aramendia moved to approve Ordinance 22-1573 on first reading, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 4-0.
