Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes April 10, 2024 Page 4 of up to 0.35 on arterial roadways may be allowed. Residential uses shall be developed at a gross density not exceeding 13 dwelling units per acre. The property at 2075 Howell Branch Road (the westernmost parcel) was previously located in unincorporated Seminole County and was annexed into City limits on February 26, 2024. In addition to the rezoning, the 2075 Howell Branch Road property is currently undergoing a FLUM amendment to Commercial. The 2035 Howell Branch Road property already has a Commercial FLUM designation. Per the City's Comprehensive Plan, developments with CG (Commercial General) zoning are intended to function within the Commercial FLUM designation. Components such as landscape buffers, lighting, parking or connectivity will be assessed during the site plan review process. Staff feels that the proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent land uses. Police services are provided to the subject property by the City of Casselberry, and Seminole County currently provides Bre services. Vehicular and pedestrian access will be provided via a driveway and sidewalk on Howell Branch Road. City water and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property. Given that the proposed use is nonresidential, a school impact analysis for the development was not necessary. Staff recommends that a favorable recommendation be provided from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Commission for ZMA 24-03, based on the staff report and the testimony and evidence presented, that the request meets the applicable provisions of the ULDR and is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan as per the written findings in the staff report.

Ms. Christine Fitzgerald, 481 Citrus Avenue, carne forward and addressed the Commission and stated her concerns about this project, which included increased traffic at the intersection of Lake Howell Road and Howell Branch Road resulting from the project. She also cited lighting and a general desire to see the property remain as is. MOTION: Mr. Bryan moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the City's Local Planning Agency, recommend approval of Case number ZMA 24- 03 to the City Commission, based on the staff report and the testimony and evidence presented, that the request meets the applicable provisions of the ULDR and is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan as per the written findings in the staff report.
