A. Accessory Structure Review — LDC Section 54-2-7.5 — 910 Greenbrier
Avenue — 540 SF Detached Carport with Utility Storage — M/M Robert
Hatch
Mr. Stokes read the item into the record.
Mr. Reyes asked for the applicants to present their application
Mr. Robert Hatch, 910 Greenbrier Avenue, Sebastian stated that he had purchased the
lot next to his residence, and his proposed plan is to landscape the lot, install a driveway
and a carport for his boat and a storage shed behind the carport. Up to this point, he has
partially landscaped the lot and intends to do more.
Ms. Bosworth stated that the application is before the commission based on the size,
which is a 540 square -foot structure. The structure is not going to be higher than the
house. The color is going to closely match the color of the house. The auxiliary driveway
permit has been obtained, and the driveway has already been installed. Since this is a
corner lot, there is a 25 -foot setback required on the secondary front yard, which has been
met. Based on the requirement for the double -lot landscaping and the remaining trees,
they will meet that requirement. Unity of title is on file, and staff recommends approval.
Mr. Reyes called for any comments or questions by the members of the commission.
Mr. Qizilbash:
• Is concerned that there be a buffer, since it is a comer lot. Ms. Bosworth stated
there is still a very dense buffer on that comer.
Mr. Mauti:
• Asked if the structure is going to be placed on a slab. Mr. Hatch stated it is asphalt
milling, pressed and rolled.
Mr. Simmons
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2019
Inquired, since Question 7A on the application is not checked, what will the
structure be constructed of. Mr. Hatch stated it will be flat steel.
Mr. Roth:
• Asked if the storage area at the back of the carport will have a foundation. Mr.
Hatch that will be part of the milling also.
• Stated the lot does have very nice landscaping on the street side.
• Is concerned about the color of the trim and whether it will match the color of the
house. Mr. Hatch stated it is not exactly matching, but he understood that the color
has to be similar, and he changed the proposed color to grey, which is the same
color as his roof. The gable that is pictured on the drawing will not be present.
The siding color will be Quaker Grey.
Being no further questions or comments, Mr. Reyes called for a motion. A motion to
approve the application for a 540 -square -foot detached carport with utility storage at 910
Greenbrier Avenue submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hatch as presented was made by
Mr. Mauti and seconded by Mr. Simmons.

Public Hearincs
A. Public Hearing -- Review of Proposed Comprehensive Plan Text
Amendments to the Future Land Use Element, Conservation and Coastal
Management Element and Public Facilities Element with Regards to
Adaptation of the Coastal Resiliency Plan
Mr. Stokes read the agenda item into the record. He reviewed that this item is not quasi-
judicial, but legislative in nature.
Ms. Frazier reviewed the history involved with this item. She stated there was an
application to DEP for a coastal resiliency grant to meet the legislative requirement for
what was entitled "Peril and Flood," to add that language to the City's Comprehensive
Plan. That language was changed to make it more of a coastal resiliency plan. So the
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 4
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2019
grant language is for a coastal resiliency grant study to be done for the City and that
language to be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan. The City received a
$50,000.00 grant for this work. The consulting firm of Kimley-Horn and Associates was
hired to assist the City with the Plan.
The City would then be receiving inputtrecommendations from this commission and would
pass it on to City Council, who would then bring it up to DEO for final incorporation into
the Comprehensive Plan.
However, Ms. Frazier stated, the Plan needs a complete update by next September. So
work will continue on the Comprehensive Plan through the next year to completely update
all of the data and then incorporate the changes that will be looked at this evening. The
information that is discussed at this meeting will then be submitted back to DEP to finalize
the grant. That has to be accomplished by the end of this month. The information that is
discussed this evening will then be a recommendation by this commission that will
eventually be brought to City Council when all the data analysis has been updated.
Ms. Frazier stated that another grant in the amount of $40,000.00 has been applied for to
DEO to assist in revising the entire future land-use element. The City will not know until
next month whether they will be successful in obtaining the grant.
She then introduced Philip DiMaria and Amanda Brandon of Kimley-Hom and Associates,
who will be making a presentation describing the work they have done and all the changes
that are before this commission. She called the commission's attention to the
spreadsheet that she supplied to the members which summarizes what the changes are
and where they have been incorporated.
Mr. Roth questioned the timing of correspondence and notices regarding this project. He
received an email on June 5, 2019, and it was his impression that there had been a
meeting back in November 2018. Ms. Bosworth stated the November 2018 meeting was
a staff meeting with stormwater and other departments to gather information that Kimley-
Hom needed to put together the coastal resiliency plan. Ms. Frazier stated the plan did
not require the Planning and Zoning Commission's review. Mr. Roth is puzzled that the
Commission was not aware of the project, and it would have been beneficial for them to
have been able to review what was being worked on. Ms. Frazier stated that it was
brought to the Commission's attention that the staff had been working on this in the
Minutes of the April 18, 2019 meeting.
Mr. DiMaria made a slide presentation (SEE ATTACHED) in which he reviewed and
explained background information and provided an overview of how these suggested
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 5
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2019
Comprehensive Plan amendments were arrived at. He described the objectives and how
they were modified as well as reviewed some of the amendments that are proposed. Also
discussed were future strategies to be kept in mind.
Ms. Frazier emphasized that the sections of the Comprehensive Plan that have been
changed or added are highlighted in yellow and/or blue in the pages that are attached to
this evening's agenda packet.
Mr. Reyes asked for questions/comments from the members of the commission.
Mr. Qizilbash:
• Questioned whether the zoning would be changed based on this Comprehensive
Plan. Ms. Frazier stated that no development rights have been changed or will be
changed by the acceptance of these changes this evening. What is important is
recognizing that there are sensitive areas such as flood plains, wetlands, etc., and
developers must comply with certain regulations and permitting in the developing
of these areas.
Ms. Frazier stated she would like to update the stormwater master plan. She also
explained how a plan could be established for development rights to be transferred by
landowners so that those landowners could transfer development rights from land they
own that cannot be developed to land they own that will allow for development.
Ms. Frazier stated that one of the items needing to be addressed is the updating of the
stormwater master plan. She advised that a policy statement could be studied regarding
low -impact design and best -management practices regarding the stormwater plan.
Ms. Bosworth explained there are mandated Elements in the City's Comprehensive Plan
that the Florida State Legislature requires. Each one of those Elements has two sections:
(1) data and analysis, (2) goals, objectives and policies. The second section is what the
commission and staff are now working on —how do we achieve those goals and objectives
with our policies by changing the Land Development Code to adapt to the coastal
resiliency ideas.
Mr. Roth:
• Stated he has a copy of a plan that is dated 2009, and he asked if that is not a
copy of the entire Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Frazier stated the work that was done
in 2009 was regarding the future land -use Element. Other Elements in the plan
have not been updated since 1999.
• Regarding the transfer of development rights, would that transfer have any impact
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2019
on properties adjoining the property to which those were rights were transferred?
Mr. Bosworth stated there would be no impact on adjoining properties, and the
zoning would stay the same. Buffering requirements are in existence.
Mr. Simmons:
• Asked regarding the section on flood plains, wetlands, etc. that has been
completely deleted, whether that language is going to be included somewhere else
in the document. Mr. DiMaria replied that any critical information was consolidated
into the unified chapter. Ms. Frazier stated that language was definitely not
deleted. It was all consolidated.
Mr. Reyes had the following questions:
• Whether the data the engineers used for this study is the most recent data.
• Why all the language regarding SWM land is being removed.
• Why modeling for 50- to 100 -year storms is still being used. Mr. DiMaria described
that at the meeting in November of 2018 that was referenced, there were several
engineers from both the County and from the Water Management District,
engineers from Kimley-Hom, and City staff who all discussed data need,
availability, what updates were occurring, all the maps and analysis that could
possibly be included. An attempt was made to be as thorough as they could using
the latest data, which is set forth in the documents attached to the agenda.
• Is this discussion just in the early stages, and Ms. Frazier stated yes, this
discussion is to show where the City's vulnerabilities are.
• He is concerned about the transfer of development rights. If a person owns land
along the river, what is the process for determining what percentage of that land
can be developed? Mr. Qizilbash interjected that, as long as the development
does not touch the wetlands, it will be allowed. However, if the development
touches any of the wetlands, then there has to be a mitigation process instituted.
Ms, Frazier stated that is correct, and she also gave some examples where
development rights are being transferred in the County.
Ms. Bosworth gave the example of inquiries she has had about the possibility of a tiny
home subdivision in Sebastian and how that land could be developed with a greater
density through this transfer -of -development -rights process.
Mr. Mauti:
• Inquired if there is still language in the documents regarding keeping the theme of
an old fishing village in future design and development. Ms. Frazier stated the
language is still in the document. Mr. Mauti suggested that there be consideration
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2019
PAGE 7
given to including language committing to the old finishing village design criteria.
Ms. Frazier stated there is language in documents that she has, and she will
provide copies of that language to any commission members who want it.
Being no further discussion on this matter, Mr. Reyes called for a motion. A motion to
approve the review of proposed Comprehensive Plan text amendments to the future land -
use element, conservation and coastal management element, and public facilities
element with regards to adaptation of the coastal resiliency plan was made by Mr. Alvarez
and seconded by Mr. Reyes.
A roll -call vote was called for by Mr. Reyes.

Mr. Roth — Yes Mr. Simmons (a) — Yes
Mr. Alvarez -- Yes Mr. Carter — Yes
Mr. Mauti (a) — Yes
Vote was seven ayes and no nays. Motion carries.
Ms. Frazier thanked the commission for their commitment and the time they are investing
in this project. Mr. Roth asked what the next step is in this process. Ms. Frazier said all
of the changes will be reviewed, and then it will be presented to DEP. She also asked if
breaking the plan down on the spreadsheet is helpful for the commissioners. It was the
consensus that it is and getting any future information in a timely manner would also be
helpful. Ms. Bosworth suggested that staff will hand deliver any documents with
information having to do with the Comprehensive Plan to the commissioners.
Mr. Reyes said he would be willing to come in for a special meeting/update on this project.
8. Unfinished Business -- None
9. Public Input -- None
10. Commissioners Matters — None
11. Staff Matters
Ms. Frazier stated there will be no Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on July 4'".
The commission, however, has an opportunity to convene a special meeting on July 11 s'.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 8
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2019
There will also be a meeting on July W. At the July 18th meeting there will be two site
plans for review and also a future land use map amendment in regard to a potential
annexation that is coming into the City. She requested that the commission decide if they
want all those matters to be heard during the July 18th meeting, or do they want to break
it up so that part of it is addressed at a special meeting on July 11th and then the other
portion addressed on the 1810. It was the consensus of the commission that it be broken
up into two meetings.
Ms. Frazier also wanted the commissioners to be aware that Sebastian is a CDBG city,
meaning that the HUD dollars come directly to the City, staff doesn't have to apply for
them. There will be a stakeholders meeting on June 26th, and all the commissioners were
invited in order to review what some of the dollars can go towards.
There will also be a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on August 151h where
there will be an opportunity to review the capital improvement plan for the budget.
Ms. Bosworth called attention to the supplement that covers the changes to the Land
Development Code regarding vacation rentals, the walls and fences, and the personal
service definition to allow the tattoo parlors. Those were all the changes that the
supplement covers.
12. Citv Attomev Matters -- None
13. AJd'ourn -- Mr. Reyes called for any further business. Hearing none, he adjourned
the meeting at 7:35 p.m.

HOLISTIC LAND USE STRATEGIES TO BE CONSIDERED DURING FUTURE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
➢Strategv 1: Establish an Adaptation Action Area (AAA) with specific
land development regulations
➢Strategv 2: Establish a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program
with sending and receiving zones

Future Strategies
Strategy 1: Establish an Adaptation Action Area (AAA)
➢An AAA is an overlay district that covers parts of the
City vulnerable to the impacts of flooding and future
sea level rise
➢Adopt this overlay district based on the data,
analysis, and modeling outlined in the Coastal
Resiliency Plan
➢Development within this overlay district must comply
with coastal development best practices including
but not limited to Flood Resistant Design and
Construction Engineering Solutions, Low Impact
Development techniques that utilize vegetation and
natural features to minimize surface runoff and
reduce flood risk.

Future Strategies
Strategy 1: Establish an Adaptation Action Area (AAA)
➢Example Objective: Establish an Adaptation Action Area Overlav District. To
minimize future risk, the Citv shall establish an Adaotation Action Area Overlav
District for areas that are vulnerable to coastal flooding and the impacts of sea
level rise, based on the data and modelina outlined within the Coastal Resiliencv
Plan. Kimlev-Horn and Associates. March 2019 and compliant with & 163. 3178.
F.S..
➢Example Policy: Within the Land Develooment Code. the Citv of Sebastian shall
establish criteria for Low Impact Design and Flood Resistant Desia_ n for new
development and redevelooment within the AAA.

Future Strategies
Strategy 2: Establish a Transfer of Development Rights
(TDR) Program
➢Use established Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) or
proposed AAA Overlay District to create a "sending
zone" for development rights to less vulnerable areas
designated as "receiving zones".
➢Development rights in vulnerable lowland and
wetland areas could be sold to upland areas
➢Allows development at higher densities in low risk
areas and encourages less intense development in
floodplains
➢Incentivizes preservation of floodplain without takings

Strategy 2: Establish a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program
➢Example Objective: Establish a Transfer of Development Riahts Proaram. The
City shall establish a Transfer of Develooment Riahts proaram to incentivize the
preservation of natural resources within vulnerable areas identified within the_
Coastal Resiliencv Plan, Kimlev-Horn, March 2019.
➢Example Policy: The Citv shall desianate parcels within the established Coastal_
Hiah Hazard Area (CHHA) as a sendina zone for development riahts, and
Parcels outside of the established CHHA as receivina sites for density and
intensity transferred throuah the TDR oroaram.
