RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - REZONING AND CHANGE OF LAND USE
FOR TRACT F, SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS- SEBASTIAN CHRISTIAN CHURCH
A Legal Notice was placed in the Vero Beach Press Journal for this
agenda item.
Staff reviews the memo the Board received today which reviews
Sections 20A-11.6C and 20A-ii. SC of the Land Dev. Code regarding
zoning and land use amendments and whether this proposed'amendment
is consistent.
~.LANNING AND ZQNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL_.6, !995
PAGE FIVE
Tract F, adjacent to Tract E, is owned by the church and is
currently zoned PS (Public Service). Except for Tract F and
Pelican Island School, all surrounding properties are zoned RS-10
residential. Staff finds this proposal consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, referring to Policy 1-1.2.3 of Goals,
Objectives, and Policies. Mr. Cooper sees no transition problems.
Churches are permissible by conditional use within both districts.
The Church's plan is to subdivide three lots in the northeast
corner which, when sold, will help finance the new building. The
minor subdivision will be brought before the Board after/if the
rezoning and land use change is approved.
Mr. Barnes would like to know where the new church will be located
on the property? Mr. Cooper states it will be situated on both
Tract E and Tract F, with a portion of Tract F having single-family
residences.
There was no public input.
Mr. Fischer made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission
make a recommendation to City CounCil to approve the re-zoning and
change in land use proposal of Tract F, Sebastian Highlands, for
Sebastian Christian Church as requested. Mr. Barnes seconded the
motion.
Mr. Goldstein requests a change of motion to include that the Board
adopts staff's memorandum dated 4/6/95 as Findings of Fact. Mr.
Barnes seconded the change to the motion and Mr. Fischer accepted
the change.
Roll call was taken. 7-0 motiOn was approved.
Recess was taken at 7:58 p.m.
The meeting resumed at 8:12 p.m. and all members were present.
SITE PLAN REVIEW - CAPTAIN HIRAM;S HOTEL/MINIATURE GOLF COURSE
CONDITI.Q~AL USE PERMIT:
Chmn. Thompson indicated the hotel was a conditional use within the
GMC zoning district and as such required a public hearing, which he
opened at 8:14 p.m..
At this time Mr. Schulke stepped down from the Commission because
of his conflict of interest, as previously discussed.
Mr. Cooper stated that Hiram's 4-unit motel on .the east side of
indian River Drive was previously approved for a conditional use
permit but, the permit is not carried over to include the new
proposed hotel on the west side of the property. He states,
PLANNING AND ZONIN~ COMMISSIQ~
~EGULAR..~EETING OF APRIL 6. 1995
~AGE SIX
however, staff overlooked Sending'out the public notices for the
hearing and requests that the public hearing be continued to the
next meeting. The site plan can be approved conditionally upon the
conditioaal use permit being granted.
The conditional use permit for a hotel in the GMC zOning district
must meet the following criteria: (1) the facility should comply
with applicable regulations of the State Division. of Hotels and
Restaurants, and (2) all side and rear yards abutting residential
districts or uses should be screened in accordance with Section
20A-10.2(F) of the LDC. The properties to the north and south of
the proposed hotel are zoned CRR.
This criteria will be discussed at the public hearing when the
conditional use permit application is reviewed. The submitted site
plan will be used in reference with regards to the screening
requirements.
Chmn. Thompson continued the public hearing until the April 20th,
1995 meeting.
SITE PLAN REVIEW:..
Mr. Cooper reviews the basic details of the proposed 4-story, 80
unit hotel and 18 hole miniature golf course. Masteller & Moler,
consulting engineers, have also reviewed the proposal and have
submitted comments along with their approval.
There was some concern expressed regarding allowing a 4-story
building in the zoning district. The City's requirement of
maximum building height of 35 feet does not specify how many
stories the building has to be. The proposed hotel complies with
the building height criteria.
Mr. Schulke gave all board members new revised plans dated 4-6-95.
The revised plans have the proposed golf course buildings
indicated, proposed lighting for the parking lots and pool area,
revised landscaping calculations, and a separate handout with the
breakdown of the impervious areas.
Regarding the TRC report dated 3/19/95 and the new revisions,
condition #1 (dumpster screening) has now been indicated, #3
(lighting) can be removed, and landscaping has been addressed
adequately.
The impervious area on the west property has been used for general
marine commercial use and has some non-conformities. With the
proposed site plan, and the increase in the impervious area,
Article IX does not allow the non-conformities to continue. The
site plan does address these items and does now meet the criteria
of the LDC.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE SEVEN
REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1995
Mr. Tom Collins, the applicant, addressed the Commission recapping
the history of the project. He also reviewed the goals and
objectives of the proposed parking layouts.
Mr. Goldstein stated that because this was a quasi-judicial
procedure he must disclose that he had discussed parking and
miniature golf course plans in general with two other city planners
and if the applicant so wished he would step down from further
discussion. The applicant stated that it wouldn't be necessary.
Mr. Fischer asks how the height is regulated? Mr. Cooper states
the actual submitted building plans will be engineer certified, and
after the construction is finished the engineer must certify that
the building is in accordance with the plans.
Mr. Barnes discussed the proposed 10' X 30' sign on U.S. Highway
#1.
Mr. Munsart voices his concerns with the side walk partitions along
U.S. #1. The site plan does not reflect any changes. Mr. Collins
states he his aware that they need to be changed, especially to
/00*1 accommodate wheelchairs.
Chmn. Thompson discussed questions he had regarding the miniature
golf course, handicapped parking for the course, signs, and the
pavilion and picnic table.
PARKING REVIEW:
Staff discussed a memorandum dated 3/27 to the Commission regarding
what the applicant is proposing for parking requirements. Two
methodologies are reviewed by the applicant in the memo using peak
demand on an hourly basis criteria. Shared parking is also
discussed in the memo.
Mr. Cooper reviews his charts which show parking requirements for
each of the facilities, currently operating and proposed, without
any shared parking credits, and a curve using parking percentages
at different times of the day for each of the uses.
Page three of staff's memo reviews certain "findings of fact" that
will help determine if the proposed parking plan does in fact meet
the LDC requirements.
Staff discusses each of the items A through E. A survey was done
f'nk1 with various other municipalities regarding Item B, parking spaces
required for the miniature golf course.
�,
f� PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE EIGHT
REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1995
Chmn. Thompson reviews staff's findings of 269 required parking
spaces needed if the party boats were allowed to operate after 6
p.m. By eliminating this operation in the evening hours, only 249
spaces are needed, which is proposed.
Mr. Collins stated that Section 20A-8.3(7) recognized the concept
of shared parking. He then reviewed the findings of his engineer
doing his parking study and discussed the results, and discussed
his opinions regarding mixed uses and shared parking for the
business.
Mr. Fischer asks staff where they got the figures for their charts
from? Mr. Cooper states they came from the percentages used in
Exhibit 9 and 14 of the back-up data provided by the applicant.
The Commission must accept those percentages as being reasonable to
accept the findings of facts.
After discussion, the Commission agreed to use the percentages used
in Exhibits 9 and 14.
Mr. Barnes questioned Mr. Collins as to where they would come up
with extra parking if the proposed operations were very successful?
Mr. Collins stated extra parking was something they were discussing
and looking into, but at this point he was comfortable with the
spaces they were coming up with now.
The Commission discussed how many parking spaces they were going to
require for the miniature golf course. The consensus was to allow
one parking space per hole. Mr. Shroyer felt 18 spaces was more
than what will be actually needed.
Mr. Barnes made a motion to extend the meeting for an additional 15
minutes. Mr. Fischer seconded the motion.
Voice vote was taken. No objections, meeting extended.
There was a small discussion on operating the party boats in the
evening hours, and how it affects the required parking spaces at
the 7 p.m. peak hour.
Chmn. Thompson made a motion to approve the site plan for Captain
Hiram's Inlet Marina West as shown on Knight, McGuire & Associates
drawings, sheets 1,2,3, and 4 of 4, all signed, sealed, and dated
4/6/95. The Planning and Zoning Commission accepts the staff's
parking calculations based on data provided in Exhibit 9 and 14 in
the applicant's parking study, agreeing that the party boats will
not be operating after 6 p.m., and that item #2 in the TRC report
dated 3/29/95 be considered. Also, the handicapped curb cut should
be provided along U.S. Highway #1. This approval is contingent
upon the Conditional Use Permit being granted. Mr. Goldstein
seconded the motion.
