Ordinance 0-22-13 — First Reading and Transmittal Hearing- Recuest for Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Mao and Text Amendment — Graves Brothers Comoanv (Transmittal. 0-22-13. Staff Report. Justification Statement, P&Z Minutes) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP BY ESTABLISHING A LAND USE CLASSIFICATION OF MU (MIXED USE) FOR ANNEXED LAND WITH A PRIOR COUNTY LAND USE DESIGNATION OF AG-1 (AGRICULTURAL) ON PROPERTY CONSISTING OF 1913.593 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, LOCATED SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 510, WEST OF LAND ADJACENT TO 74Ta, AVENUE, NORTH OF 69ru STREET, AND EAST OF 9e' AVENUE; AMENDING THE LAND USE ELEMENT WITH SITE SPECIFIC POLICIES; AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITYANTERPRETATION; PROVIDING FOR SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND PROVIDING AN ADOPTION SCHEDULE. The City Attorney read the title to Ordinance No. 0-22-13 and Mayor Hill opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. The City Manager said this was for the future land use as recommended unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Dr. Graham Cox said he would like to see an annexation agreement before they change the use of the land. Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2022 Page 10 Dr. Tim Glover, President, Friends of St Sebastian River, said he would like assurances that resources will be protected and there will be amenities in the public interest provided through the annexation agreement. The Indian River Neighborhood Association, the Pelican Island Audubon Society and the Clean Water Coalition would like to see increased stomtwater retention. Peter Hinck, Sebastian resident, said he has been listening to all of the organizations and he wanted to let Council know that they have the best interests for Sebastian in mind and asked them to work together. Charles Stadelman said he would like to see all of the City's boards included on the land use to give input on the water quality, wildlife and types of housing that are planned for the property. Dianna Bolton said this annexation will provide for 10-12 units per acre which comes up to about 40,000 more new residents and argued there was no provision for green space or conservation. Mayor Hill asked if she reviewed the agenda transmittal because what she was saying wasn't true. She said she did not. Council Member Dodd said the rezoning of this property will be done in the planned unit development process which will become a legal part of the land use map that can't be changed. He went over the site specific policy conditions pertaining to the mixed use development section of Ordinance No. 0-22-13 with his comments in bold italics: Policy 1-1.7.1: 1913.593 +/- acre property located South of County Road 510, West of Land Adjacent to 74' Avenue, North of 60 Street, and East of 900 Avenue, more specifically described in City Ordinance No. 0-22-13 shall be developed subject to the following policies: a. Rezoning of the property shall be done through a Planted Unit Development process as described in Article XX of the Land Development Code. The owner will come back to the City with a preliminary plat that identifies what and where they plan on building within that development and once Council approves Nrat preliminaryplat, tiny can't change it without coming back for approval again. I. Housing types shall be mixed to meet various income levels and lifestyle choices. There are many laws that talk about property rights and we can ask a developer to do mixed types of income but we can't fell hint what to build, that's a property rights issue however we can defend our mixed use criteria in court. c. Future dedication of ROW upon mutual consent of the land owner to the appropriate entity that promotes an interconnected, extended and improved grid road system, along with a well -planned transportation system of roads and streets throughout the development, in coordination with Indian River Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2022 Page 11 County, to specially include 81" Street, 771d Street, and 73rd Street, as well as 74' Avenue. We have identified some roads the City is interested in. d. Provision for a mixed -use "Town Center" area. The developer will build a town center that will have a residential area around the center in some way and it shouldn't be confused with what is happening on CR510 because that project includes a town center with a residential area behind the town center. e. Future dedication and donation of institutional lands necessary for governmental services such as post offices, public safety, schools, etc. that may be needed for increases in necessary services, as identified by concurrency analysis in accordance with the City of Sebastian land development codes and ordinances at the time of development That is all part of what they are going to do with the land. f. Strategic assembly of commerce and industrial development consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Mixed Use Land Use. This talks about commercial and industrial, if there will be industrial development. g. Future dedication of conservation lands to appropriate entity at the time of development to include any natural areas of significant importance, and the provision of greenway trails to promote a system of connectivity and access consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and land development codes. This is included in this document. h. Dedication of City Park and recreational lands above what will be required in the individual residential subdivision developments. Allocation of parks and recreational lands consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and land development coeds specifically: a minimum of 1 acres11000 residents of publicly accessible recreation lands, and a minimum of 2 acre/1000 residents of other recreational lands. This is included in this document. i. Increased buffers adjacent to low density areas outside of the PUD area. This is included in this document. j. As a condition offuture developments, sufficient land area shall be allocated for infrastructure required to support the development and mandate hook-up to central potable water and wastewater systems for new developments prior to receiving development orders. Therefore, lire proposed development, the Graves Brothers Sebastian South, must provide sewer and water service as a condition of development. These services may be provided by the County however no septic systems would be allowed in accordance with City policy and land development codes. This means float the property owner has to deal with the County's utility. k. The property shall be master planned on a minimum of no less than 500 acre units as part of an overall Planned Development project using the PULP zoning district and process. The property owner can come back with a preliminary plat with a 500 acre tract and what they intend to do with it but they can't develop in 100 acre tracts. Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2022 Page 12 1. The property shall consist of a mix of uses of a minimum of 30 percent non- residential to 70 percent residential This is consistent with mixed use categories across the state. The only way to get affordable housing is to get smaller footprints and higher densities/smaller lot sizes. m. The property shall require a minimum aggregate total of 50% open space. Each of the following uses shall qualify to meet the open space requirement: conservation area; greenways and trails; all public parks greater than one acre, whether passive or recreational; pervious portions of agricultural land; all common open space; upland preserves; undeveloped lands suitable for passive recreation, conservation, stormwater uses, wetlands preservation, preservation of habitat for protected species which is left un-developed, and any portions of the Real Property conveyed to the County or City for a wastewater treatment plant, fire station or police station, golf courses shall not be considered to be open space. He said all of the arguments are covered in this document. He said the annexation agreement that is being worked on will solve all of the other problems but there is a process the City has to follow; they can't solve all of the problems before they do anything. The City intends to follow the process by sending this FLUM to the state, Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the County. MOTION by Council Member McPardan and SECOND by Council Member Dodd to approve the future land use map for the Graves Brother property on first reading for transmittal to the Department of Economic Opportunities. Council Member Nunn asked that if the groups want to have Council take them seriously to stop spreading misinformation and use the information that is in the agenda backup. Vice Mayor Jones added the citation from the Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan: The "Mixed Use" FLUM designation and PUD development approval process provides the City with tools and the regulatory authority to guide and direct the location, uses and intensities of residential and non-residential uses, while providing additional regulations to ensure land use compatibility, buffering and open space provisions, prevention of urban sprawl, and protection and management ofnatural resources.

The City Manager explained that originally staff was trying to have two square hangars built but could not get the construction materials into the budget. Subsequently the City received a grant for two additional hangars. To receive a scale of value, the City Manager requested Council to consider the construction of all four hangars at once. The City Attorney read the title of Resolution No. R-22-30. There was no public input. MOTION by Council Member McPartlan and SECOND by Council Member Nunn to approve Resolution No. R-22-30.

Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2022 Page 14 Roll call: Mayor Hill - aye Vice Mayor Jones - aye Council Member Dodd - aye Council Member McPartlan - aye Council Member Nunn - aye Motion carried. 5-0 22.075 C) Amrove the Recommended Increase in W apes to Exemot Personnel Based on the Waee and Compensation Studv (Transmittal. Chart) MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Vice Mayor Jones to table this item until the completion of union negotiations passed with a voice vote of 4-1. (Nay - Council Member Nunn) Council Member Dodd said the traditional process has been that union negotiations are completed then exempt employees receive the same increase structure as the union receives. 22.170 D) Aramove the Aonlication Process of a 319(h) Grant to Convert the Remainina Pmnerties in the CRA from Sentic to Sewer - Consider Commitment Match (Transmittal. Summarv) The City Manager asked if Council would like to actively seek the 319 grant that will pay for the connections and part of the infrastructure. The commitment would require a 40% match to make the grant award viable. Applications would be reviewed in March/April preceding an application deadline of Jamary/February. He said 95% of the property owners must agree to convert to receive the award. He said he provided a chart of what it would cost for the property owners to convert their septic systems on their own but the City does not have an estimate for the property owners with the 319 grant coupled with additional grant monies from the County to cover the lift station. Council Member Dodd said the issue is the 95% acceptance rate required by the property owners. The state does have a statute that requires that once the collective system is available you have to hook up within one year but no one enforces the statute. He said the federal government is putting $500M in a I % loan program, for five years, to create these kinds of new utilities that are needed. The County could apply for this money and probably ask the City to help pay for it. He said this next five year window is the time to strike. He said they will need to let the property owners know the cost and ask them to pay for it. If the property owner says no, they will have to pay a $150-$200 a day code violation fee (until they hookup) plus the cost of hooking up which Council must be willing to enforce. His contention is that if they can't make it happen in CRA they don't even need to talk about the highlands; it is an important first step. Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2022 Page 15 Council Member McPartlan and Mayor Hill agreed. The septic tanks in the CRA district are so close to the river. Council Member Nunn and Vice Mayor Jones suggested getting the environmentalists on board to help push this agenda. MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Council Member Nunn to approve the implementation of the septic to sewer program within the CRA and authorize the City Manager to spend up to $25,000 for support services to prepare the paperwork required. Rufus Standefer said he has been talking to scientists who report the most alarming issue in the river is the disappearance of the small critters. As a photographer, he offered to do anything he could to show what they can't see. Roll call: Council Member Dodd - aye Council Member McPartlan - aye Council Member Nunn - aye Mayor Hill - aye Vice Mayor Jones - aye Motion carried. 5-0 15.

CITY CLERK MATTERS The City Clerk expressed her gratitude for serving the residents with Mayor Hill during the last 20 years. 18. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Vice Mayor Jones did not have any additional matters. B. Council Member McPartlan said he has been in Port Charlotte for a week assisting with the hurricane recovery and the news coverage isn't giving the level of devastation any justice. He praised those that have been helping with donations and advised that people should make sure the charities are reputable before making donations. Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2022 Page 16 C. Council Member Nunn thanked the City Manager for working on debris removal. He apologized for the frustration he displayed earlier in the meeting noting there are groups that do the right thing and he appreciated that. D. Council Member Dodd said affordable/attainable housing is going to be a hot topic in Tallahassee starting March and because it is a major issue throughout the state, he asked if anybody has any good ideas to send them to him at his City's email address, cdoddna.ci[vofsebastian.ore, and he will transmit than to Tallahassee. He stated this was Mayor Hill's last meeting and he recognized how much he has contributed to the City over the last 20 years and invited the public to give him a round of applause. E. Mayor Hill said he was grateful that the citizens have allowed him to serve as Mayor and Council Member and be a part of a lot of amazing things during the last 20 years. He said while Council receives the praise, staff members are the real people who do the work and he recognized former City Attorneys Richard Stringer, Bob Ginsburg, Jim Stokes and current City Attorney Manny Anon. He also recognized former City Managers Terrence Moore, Al Minner, Joe Griffin and current City Manager Paul Carlisle.
