CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of October 10, 2022 — Regular Meeting Page 7 of 11 "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; ESTABLISHING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF R-12.5 (LOW DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY) FOR APPROXIMATELY 0.81 ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF LOTUS LAKE DRIVE AND ANCHOR ROAD, 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 Ordinance 22-1571 was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, September 29, 2022. Staff Presentation: Planner Il Antonia DeJesus stated Ordinance 22-1571 provides for establishing the official zoning designation of R-12.5 (Low Density Single -Family) for one (1) parcel located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lotus Lake Drive and Anchor Road. The property was annexed into the City in 2010 and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation was amended to Low Density Residential later that year; however, the property's zoning was not amended to a City zoning designation following the annexation and future land use change. The subject property is approximately 0.81 acres in size and is currently vacant. The applicant is representing a client that is interested in purchasing the property to build a single-family residence, and an amendment to the City's Official Zoning Map to the R- 12.5 zoning district for the subject property is necessary to establish permitted land uses and size and dimension criteria to develop the property. Written notice for the Official Zoning Map amendment was posted on the subject property on July 28, 2022 and letters notifying the surrounding property owners within 500 feet were mailed on July 29, 2922. The Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the City's Local Planning Agency (LPA) voted unanimously at its meeting on August 10, 2022 to recommend approval of this item to the City Commission. The request to amend the Official Zoning Map to establish the zoning classification of R-12-.5 (Low Density Single -Family) for the subject property is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Low -Density Residential Future Land Use designation; compatible and consistent with the adjacent land uses and zoning districts; and connections for City water and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property. In response to a question from the City Commission, Ms. DeJesus advised that a few of the surrounding properties had made inquiries about what could possibly be developed on the site and were advised that the R-12.5 zoning district was intended for single family conventional detached residential development. There are some conditional uses that are allowed, but that would of course require additional approvals. All the documentation provided by the applicant, including school impact analysis and utility capacity was based on a single-family home. Ms. DeJesus advised that the surrounding property owners who had inquired and those who had attended the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting had expressed that they were happy with that information. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager recommended approval of Ordinance 22-1571 on second and final reading. Public Hearing: Mayor Henson stated this was a public hearing to hear and consider comments and questions regarding Ordinance 22-1571. Mayor Henson opened the floor for public participation. No one carne forward to address Ordinance 22-1571. Mayor Henson closed the public hearing relative to Ordinance 22-1571.
