CITY OF SEBASTIAN LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1997 Chnm. Fischer called the ~to order at 5:02 P.M. PRESENT: Mr. Munsart Mr. Johns Mr. Mather Chnm, Fischer Mr. Pliska Ms. Vesia EXCUSED ABSENCE: Ms. Killcdly.(a) Mr. Driver (a) Mr, $chulke ALSO PRESENT: Robert Mmsa~lli, Community Development Director Ann Brack, Recording Secretary NEW BUSINESS: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW: 1. Discussion - comments on changes to Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Massarelli introduced Mr. Tom Tempia, Planning Operations Mmmger for $olin and Associates, who will discuss thc first dratt of the Comprehensive Plan Amezdmznts that have been reco~dsd by City staff, which were di,~ibuted to the LPA members ~ month (lune 19, Mr. Tempia noted key chans~s - The terms of c~utral comraercial core area and c~xtral business district have been streamlined into - the downtown area. He pointed out the di~inition of this term on page one (1) under Policy 1-1.2.3 He also noted that there is a policy reserved for the Riverfront area. COR designation has been changed to Office-Residential district, and eliminated any retail commercial use~ fix~n that designation to allow office-residential as a transitional area. Mr, Mather noted that in discussing the COR issue, he wasn't sure that all members wore in agreement with that. ~ Policy 1-1.2.5, he mentioned the commerciali~tion of Barber Street, and didn't think that was a good idea, There was discussion on the Office-Residential and the COR designation. Mr. Tempia suggested eliminating the words "near major thorouglifares" on page one (1), Policy 1-1.2.5, and that would protect Barber Street but retain the Office-Rcsid~ial uso for LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 17, 1997 ~' other areas. He also noted that the 915 requirement requires the City to address Commercial, both in terms of heavy and light Commercial, and office space. After further discussion, it was determined to delete the COR district, and delete Policy 1-2.2.1 on page four (4)~ There was discussion on the COR designation, future land use, and zoning. The detemfinafion was to have office and commercial together, and the members indicated that was satisfactory. Mr. Tempia explained Policy 1-1.4.3 on on-site and off-site improvements, unpaved roads and insufficient right-of-ways. If development abuts an unpaved road but does not access it, they are not required to pave it. However, if they abut a right-of-way that is insufficient, they will be asked to dedicate it so the city will have sufficient right-of=way. He noted that medium density residential has been amended to nine (9) units to be consistem with one of the zoning districts. Alsoland-use intensity for non-residential uses has been changed away from the traffic volume issue and into Florida Area Ratios, (ratio of square footage of the building to the area of the lot), which is easier to understand. When potable water wells are mentioned, they m~n public wells, not residential private wells. Under traffic circulation, he noted the chart.on page 10 which depicts the major thoroughfares. There were strictly technical changes under the housing element. Under public facilities element, they updated the level of service standax~ for water, sewer, solid waste and drainage based on information that was in the evaluation and appraisal report. They have also reworded any possible suggestion that mandates connection to central water or sewer for existing residential units, but have continued to require new developments to connect. References to the City's Stormwater Master Plan have been included. Under Coastal Management element, they revised the definition of wetlands, however, they will replace the definition that is in there with the reference to the Florida Statute, since the rule and the Statute change. Review procedures for projects east of Indian River Drive have been addressed, in reference to the Riverfront Committee. Some of the shoreline protection policies have been modified, and included the new definition for Coastal High Hazard Areas. He noted that he actually found an old copy of the Hutchin-~on Island Planning and Resource Management Study, and noted that apparently "Hutchinson Island" mem~ the whole barrier island from the north end of Indian River County south. Refermce to this Study has been eliminated since the Study was done in the 1970's and never updated. ~ to the Indian River Lagoon SWIM Plan was referenced, as well as any new policies from Saint John's River Water Manag~ District, and the Florida Depamnent. of Environmental Protection. In conservation, language was added to insure compliance with DEP and the SJRWMD. LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF IDLY 17, 1997 In recreation and open space there were only technical changes. Mr. Johns pointed out a discrepancy on page two (2) for Mobile Home Development being designated as 5 u/a, and it was 6 u/a. Mr. Tempia replied that 5 u/a is correct, but he will doublc check it to be sure. It was suggested to strike the word "special" on line four (4) under Policy 1-1 2 4 where it says "special interest groups". There was discussion on the use of "Floor Area Ratio", as depicted on page three (3), and it was determined this means everything inside a buildin~ (total building square footage). The suggestion was made to reword Policy 1-2.2 in reference to "offices". On page six (6), Riverbont Mixed Use will be inser~l under Policy 1-2.2.5. Mr. Massarelli noted that he hopes to have a workshop session with City Council 'in August to present the Riverfront Committee's recommendations, and get approval of the RMU. Ms. Vesia noted a date on page seven (7) under Objective 1-3.2 and suggested it be corrected, The same notation is on page eight (8) under Policy 1-3.2.5, and it will be removed. Under Objective 1-3.3, the term "central business district" will be changed to "downtown". On page ten (10), under City Collectors, Mr. Johns pointed out that Barber Street comes out on Wimbrow Drive on the north end, not on Main Street. And Vocelle Avenue runs from CR 505 to Fleming St, not CR 512. Mr. Johns pointed that Wimbrow Drive is designated as Wimbrow Avenue on the map that will be included. It was dete~ed to delete CR 510 (Wabasso Road) from the County Arterials on the chart, since it is not in the City limits. Mr. Massarelli inquired about the "C" classification of the Significant Local Streets Shown on Major Thoroughfare Plan, and after discussion, it was determined to recommemi level "D" for these streets. It was also suggested to delete Gibson' Street from that chart. Under Policy 4-1.1.1 on page twelve (12) the date needs to be changed. Ms. Vesia suggested checking the revision date under Policy 3-1.3.1, and Mr. Tempia agreed. On page fourteen (14) under Policy 4-1.3.1:b. it was suggested to change "¼ mile" to "500 ft." to be consistent. There was discussion on this issue and it was determined to brin8 this back at a future Policy 4-1.3.3 needs a date change. Mr. Tempia noted that on page sixteen (16) under Policy 5-1:1.1, the new definition of.wetlands will be replaced with a statute reference. LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 17, 1997 There was discussion on whether to add the word "Saint" to the Sebastian River, mentioned in Policy 5-1.10.1 :iv. On page twemy (20), m Policy 5-1.6.3, wording was changed to read "...mobile hc~es within the CHH shall be grandfathered in". The~ was a question of who specifically does the "coordinating" m Policy 5-1.10.1 d., and aP~er discussion, it was suggested that it be the responsibility of the Community Developmmt Director. On page twenty-three (23) under Policy 6-1.2.9, delete the last two sentences. Also insert "Saint" before Sebastian River. it was pointed out that Pelican Island is not techuically within the City limits, as noted on page twenty-four (24) under Policy 7-1,1.8, and would be removed; and an addition will be the St. Sebastian River Buffer Preserve. ARer some discussion, general consensus was to do the final document in the 'Taatrix" form. Mr. Massarelli commented on the schedule, for completion of this document and suggested possibly having some workshops in October with the City Council to talk about the ComprehenSive Plan, and after that is completed, go to the Laud Develo~ Code. He also noted that there will be an LPA meeting before each P & Z meeting for the next several weeks, and also two public workshops to give an explanation to the public. He has been invited to speak before ~ Home Builders Association in September, and the Aware Taxpayers Association in October. He commented that he will be available to any organization that would like him to speak on the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Discussion - Proposed Land Development Code Format Mr. Massarelli th~n commented on some items in the Land Development Code revisions. He had spent an entire day with Les Solin and Tom Tempia discussing the LDC, and noted the. similarities between sections of Sebastian's LDC and the Key West LDC. In his opinion, the Key West LDC is organized better, and easier to read. He reco~ following the outline of Key West LDC, and noted that it would not mean a lot of changes, There was further discussion on items in the LDC including glossary aud index, and the term "saving clause".
