present to answer any questions. He gave a brief presentation on the project.
Mr. Hass gave staff presentation and recommended approval of the Site Plan.
MOTION by Thomas/Mather

RECONS ENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - SPECIAL USE PERMIT - RESIDENTIAL
UNIT IN "IN" ZONING - 633 OLD DEM HIGHWAY
Mr. Casey Walker, 21 Tarpon Drive, Vero Beach, was present in behalf of Constance Spates.
(Also present was Ms. Amy J. Kost of J R Reporting Associates, Inc., Melbourne, FL. as a court
reporter for this issue.) He noted that his applicant is requesting a residential use of a present
apartment at the warehouse, and a variance for the waiver of the minimum square footage. He
referred to page two (2) of the staff report and proceeded to explain the need for security at the site
and submitted copies of police reports to Commission members. There was some discussion on
how to interpret the report as to the number of occurrences.
Ms. Spates, the applicant, noted that when she picked up these reports from the Sebastian Police
Department, she was told that the figures reflected, separate events.
There was further discussion on the need for security, the type of equipment stored there, and the
actual use of the apartment.
Mr. Walker noted another'similar use permitted in 1987 in the same vicinity.
Mr. Massarelli gave staff presentation and noted that the variance for the requested 362 sq. ft.
apartment would be issued by the Board of Adjustment and would require a separate application
for that to that Board. He also noted that certain criteria is required for such variance, including
that the request is unique to that piece of property, and that it is not a self-imposed hardship.
Mr. Massarelli also noted that those two tests could probably not be met.
10
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR N=L t LNG OF AUGUST 21, 1997
Staff recommends a conservative position be taken because of the prohibition of residential uses
within industrial area, and noted that the provision in the Comprehensive Plan limits the area for a
watchman to 150 sq. ft. Staff also noted that the applicant has indicated that the use is not similar
with uses allowed in the industrial zoning district, and this Commission is required to make a
finding that the use is similar to the uses allowed in the zoning district.
Staff recommended denial of this Special Use Permit.
Mr. Schulke suggested that conditions could be recommended to City Council in reference to the
person and his purpose who would reside in this apartment.
VC Munsart pointed out that security could be provided without an apartment.
Mr. Walker referred back to the Comprehensive Plan and cited his interpretation of several issues.
MOTION by Driver/Thomas
I make a motion that we approve the Spates On-site Security Apartment at 6330 Old Dixie
Highway which includes Lot 18, 19 and 20, Lot 4 Sebastian Grove Estates for Ms.
Constance Spates.
Discussion: Mr. Massarelli reminded the Commission that this should be a recommendation to
City Council, and that they should include their finding in the motion. He also called their attention
page 4, paragraph 13 of the staff report. Among other issues, he noted that if approved, a site plan
will be required, and the building would need to be inspected by the Building Inspector and the
Health Department would check the well and septic.
In response to a question by Mr. Thomas, staff responded that the Building Department was never
aware of a change of use from manufacturing to warehouse and there were no occupational
licenses issued before last week. He noted concern from the history of the building and the
electrical.
Ms. Spates informed the Commission that she had the complete electrical system gone over by Mr.
Neuberger's son. She noted that all corrections were made with the electrical, air conditioner, and
plumbing.
Staff noted that this is an existing, unpermitted apartment and has never been inspected by the
City, and a site plan could not be found nor any other kind of approval.
Mr. Driver withdrew the original motion (above), and Mr. Thomas withdrew his second.
MOTION by Driver/Thomas
I move that we find that granting special use permit is not detrimental to the public safety,
health or welfare, not injurious to other properties or improvements within the immediate

vicinity in which the Property is located, and the requested use is consistent with the
purpose and intent of the respective zoning district, and it can be demonstrated to be
similar in nature and compatible with the uses allowed in this zoning district, and
recommend to City Council that they that they find the same findings. I recommend to the
City Council that they approve the special use permit for Spates' On -Site Security
Apartment at 633 Old Dixie Highway, Lots 18, 19, and 20, Block 4, Sebastian Grove
Estates, Ms. Constance Spates, of Roseland, FL, (with the conditions): the Building

Department approve the septic system and the well, and approval by the variance Board
for the 362 square feet as opposed to the 600 square feet required by the Ordinance,
custodian must be employed by the tenant, and it will house the custodian only, no family
members, one person only.
Roll call: Mr. Driver - yes
Mr. Thomas - yes
Mr. Schulke - yes
VC Munsart - no
The vote was 4 - 3. Motion carried.
Ms. Kilkelly - yes
Mr. Mather - no
Mr. Pliska - no
Mr. Massarelli recommended that a motion be made to adopt the staff report except for those
areas that are inconsistent with your previous recommendation, so that facts and other things
in there will be appropriate. I
MOTION by SchulkefKilkelly
So moved.
A voice vote was taken. 7 - 0 motion carried.
CHAIRMAN MA jL, i ju<S: None
Mr. Schulke inquired as to when the next LPA meeting is and was informed that it is scheduled for
September 3rd (actually it is on September 4th), and there will also be an LPA meeting before each
regular P & Z meeting for most of the remainder of this year.
DIRECTOR MA it gRS:
Mr. Massarelli suggested that, since the next regular P & Z meeting will be light, the Commission
should start the LPA, break for P & Z, and return to the LPA since feedback needs to be given on
about six (6) chapters, and the future land use maps will need comment on changes.

a. Narrative of proposed action: The applicant has requested a special
use permit for an apartment in a warehouse for on-site security
purposes. The Land Development Code allows in the Industrial Zoning
District, one accessory watchman facility limited to 150 sq. ft. (Sec. 20A -
3.14.B., L.D.C.). The applicant has indicated that the warehouse facility
has a residential area of 362 sq. ft. The only way to use such a facility is
by a special use permit.

9. Comprehensive Plan Consistency
a. Future Land Use: Policy 1-2.3.1 states: ".... Industrially designated
areas are not adaptive to residential use and as such industrial activities
shall not be located in areas designated for residential development.
This provision shall not prohibit residences for night watchmen or
custodians whose presence on industrial sites are necessary for security
purposes. Such a use may be permitted as a conditional use through
appropriate zoning procedures....."
The conditional use provisions have never been implemented.
The staff reviews takes a conservative view of this requirement. Just as
industrial use should not encroach on residential areas, residential use
should not encroach on industrial areas. The conservative view would
require the applicant to demonstrate a need for the residential use for
security reasons. The applicant has not demonstrated a need for the
security. An occupational license has not been issued for a business at
the site. The applicant has indicated that large lawn mowers and

The conditional use provisions have never been implemented.
The staff reviews takes a conservative view of this requirement. Just as
industrial use should not encroach on residential areas, residential use
should not encroach on industrial areas. The conservative view would
require the applicant to demonstrate a need for the residential use for
security reasons. The applicant has not demonstrated a need for the
security. An occupational license has not been issued for a business at
the site. The applicant has indicated that large lawn mowers and
2
accessory equipment and sweepers are stored there. Vandalism or other
criminal activities have not been reported there. Without the
demonstrated need for security the requested special use permit .is
inconsistent with the future land use element of the comprehensive plan.

10. Is the granting of the special use permit detrimental to the public safety,
health or welfare or injurious to other properties or improvements within
the immediate vicinity in which the property is located? The granting of the
request for a special use permit is not detrimental to the public safety, health or
welfare nor injurious to other properties or improvements within the immediate
vicinity in which the property is located.
11. Is the use requested consistent with the purpose and intent of the
respective zoning district, and can it be demonstrated to be similar in
nature and compatible with the uses allowed in the zoning district? On
March 11, 1987, the City Council approved resolution (R-87-14) granting a
special use permit for Dr. Henry A. Fischer for a residential structure for security
personnel at 10925 U.S. 1. The residential unit is 25' by 25' (625 sq. ft.). That
use was found to be consistent with the purpose and intent of the industrial
zoning district, and to be similar in nature and compatible with the uses allowed
in the industrial zoning district.
That approval was prior to the adoption of the current comprehensive plan. As
stated above (9.a.) there should be a demonstrated need "necessary for
security purposes" for the residential use for security reasons. The applicant has
indicated that the building is being used for the storage of large lawn mowers
and accessory equipment and sweepers. The applicant has also provided a
summary from the Sebastian Police Department of the crimes on Old Dixie
Highway and High Street. (attached) The applicant has not provided any
information as to specific crimes to that property. The applicant has failed to
demonstrate a need.
The staff requested that the applicant provide additional information to support
this required finding. The applicant has admitted that the proposed use is not
similar in nature to the uses allowed (response is attached).
3
Based on the applicant's own statement, the requested special use permit is not
consistent with the purpose and intent of the respective zoning district, and it is
not similar in nature and compatible with the uses allowed in the zoning district.
12: Additional considerations: Another consideration is the safety of locating a
residences in the same building that may include industrial activities. While the
building now is used to store lawn mowers, the property is zoned industrial and
other activities which may present a safety problem for someone living there
might occur in the future. In considering this application, it is important to
consider the long term possibilities.
13. Other Matters: The building official has not conducted an inspection of the
building to determine if the building meets minimum code requirements. If the
permit was approved such an inspection should be required before the building
is occupied.
With the change in use at this location, a site plan would be required. Parking,
drainage and landscaping should be brought up to code. If this permit is
approved, the code would require two parking spaces for the residence. The
parking requirement for the rest of the property would depend on the proposed
use of the property.
Also with the change of use, approval from the health department should be
received to insure that the septic tank is properly design for a residence.
14. Analysis: The applicant has applied for a special use permit for a residence in
an industrial zoning district. The purpose of the residence is to provide on-site
security. The Land Development Code allows an accessory watchman facility
up to 150 sq. ft. in the industrial zoning district. The proposed use exceeds that
limit. Therefore, consideration of such a use can only be through a special use
permit.
The staff has reviewed the application for consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan and recommends that the application be found to be inconsistent with the
Future Land Use Element. Policy 1-2.3.1. states that a residential use in the
industrial area is allowed for security purposes. The applicant has not
demonstrated the need for security at this location. The warehouse is currently
vacant and vandalism has not been reported to be a problem in this area.
Without the demonstrated need the use is inconsistent.
This policy can be subject to interpretation. Is the test an actual need? Is the
building currently being used to store materials that can be stolen or
vandalized? Or is the test just a perceived need or a desire to prevent crime? If
the test is a perceived need, then the applicant by the fact that the applicant
applied for this special use has met that test.
The staff review is based on an existing, demonstrated need for security. The
plan might be interpreted to allow the proposed use based on a perceived need
4
or to prevent potential crime. If that interpretation is used, then the proposed
use is consistent with the future land use element.
The other issue relating to this application is the suitability of the facility for
residential use. The residence shown is 362 sq. ft. (floor plan is attached). The
smallest residential unit allowed in the code is 600 sq. ft. (efficiencies and
commercial resort residential units). The minimum living area for a mobile home
and the smallest residence allowed in the RS -10 zoning district is 900 sq. ft.
The unit approved for Dr. Fischer, discussed above, was 625 sq. ft., meeting the
minimum standard for an efficiency. The proposed residential living area does
not conform with the standards of the Land Development Code.
Even if a liberal interpretation of the Comprehensive Plan was made and the
size of the residence was acceptable, the applicant's admission that the
requested use is not similar in nature to the uses allowed in the Industrial
Zoning District create cause the application to fail to meet one of the required
findings. The application therefore should be denied.
15. Conclusion: The applicant has stated that the requested use is not similar in
nature to the uses allowed in the Industrial zoning district, therefore the
application should be denied.
16. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Planning and Zoning
Commission find that the proposed use is not similar to the uses allowed in the
Industrial zoning district. It is further recommended that the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council that the proposed use is not
similar to the uses allowed in the Industrial zoning district and that the City
Council deny the request for a residence for security purposes at 633 Old Dixie
Highway.

Re:. 633 Old Dixie Highway, Sebastian, Florida
Dear Mrs. Spates:
I have reviewed your application for approval of a residential use within a warehouse, located at the
above address, for security purposes. After consulting with the City's attorney, I have concluded that,
since the property was previously used for this purpose it is, for all practical purposes, a pre-existing
non -conforming use. Accordingly, it may continue as a valid use within the City, provided that the
structure is not significantly modified. Accordingly, the City will not require a variance from
residential square footage requirements to continue this use. If you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Frame
City Manager
