Approval of Minutes: Regular meeting of May 4, 2023 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING J U N E 15, 2023 PAGE 2 All indicated they had reviewed the Minutes of May 4, 2023. Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion approving the Minutes from May 4, 2023 as presented was made by Mr. Haddix, seconded by Ms. Matthews, and approved unanimously via voice vote. VI. Quasi -Judicial and Public Hearinqs -- None VII. Unfinished Business -- None Vill. Public Input -- None IX. New Business A. Accessory Structure Review -- LDC Section 54-2-7.5 for 297 Joy Haven Drive, a 700-SQ detached carport. Ms. Kautenburg called on the applicant to present his information. James Tracy McCullough stated the proposed construction is to store an RV. At this time, Ms. Bosworth presented the staff report. She stated that, in working with the applicant, staff verified that the structure would not be in a rear setback and does meet all the requirements for the setback. The McCulloughs own three lots. What is shown on the survey is just two lots that are applicable. Even with the three lots, the maximum size the homeowners can have based on the City's code is 5% or 1,000 square feet max. There is an existing shed, and including this, they will be at 988 square feet of accessory structures for the property. It is a prefab metal carport. The house roof does have a metal roof, so the roofing materials will match. The partial sides are going to be metal. Staff worked with the homeowner on matching colors for the sides. The only thing she wanted to point out, just to clarify so it is part of the record, is the survey. Staff did verify that they are proposing a 50-foot front setback. Based on the size of it, it will be 40 feet in the back, not 50 feet that is marked on the survey. Staff will change that in the building permit. With that, she called for Commissioners comments/questions and their determination to approve or disapprove of the project. Mr. Haddix stated he does not see where the document talks about tie -downs. The City will not permit that without it being tied down. Mr. McCullough stated they will use the same anchors that mobile homes use. Ms. Bosworth stated there are some additional pages of this permit application that are more structural to the building permit. The Building Department will be reviewing that. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING J U N E 15, 2023 PAG E 3 Ms. Kautenburg stated that she noted on the plan that it does not say anything about a closure on the front of the building. She asked if that is going to be an open shed. Mr. McCullough said yes, it will be. There will be a gable on the rear for structural support. The front will be open. He added that Carolina Carports do have installation crews, and they will be installing it, and he will be supervising it. There being no further input, Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion approving the application for construction of the accessory structure at 297 Joy Haven Drive as submitted was made by Ms. Matthews and seconded by Mr. Haddix. Roll Call Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Ms. Geesey (a) -- Yes Mr. Haddix -- Yes Ms. Matthews -- Yes Vote was 4-0 in favor. Motion carries. X. Commissioners Matters Ms. Kautenburg stated that, at the Council meeting it was mentioned -- and she thinks it might be a good idea — adding something to RM-10 which would indicate that a certain percentage of an RM-10 when we are changing it needs to provide some attainable housing. She is not sure that is allowed. Ms. Bosworth reminded everyone that the future Land Use that was updated in the Comp Plan where we established medium density is now 10 units per acre, 12 units with incentives. Staff has not brought that incentive ordinance back to the Commission because it has been very hard for staff to establish how affordability will be maintained. Usually, it would be through deed restrictions, but if the HOA is taking care of it, does the City have staff who has to monitor the affordability housing requirements to make sure that it is applied. Now there is also a new layer of a House Bill in Tallahassee that was passed. There are consultants, and everyone is reviewing this affordability housing bill, and hopefully they are sending out guidance to the cities on what we may need to do to adjust our ordinances to cover that. Staff is trying to work with it for our incentives to say, if you have this amount of incentives, you may now get 11 units per acre. Then if 30% of these units were affordable, the incentive was to get to the 12 units. XI. Citv Attornev Matters -- None PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 4 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING JUNE 15, 2023 XI. Staff Matters Ms. Bosworth thanked everyone for coming for this very short meeting. She added that staff will be finishing the River Oaks PUD review this week. Their conceptual PUD will be coming before you, possibly at the next meeting. Also, based on the Graves Brothers annexation, there was an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and staff will have that insert for your books shortly. XII. Adiournment There being no further business, Ms. Kautenburg adjourned the meeting at 6:15 p.m. jg
