PUBLIC HEARING - RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 54-4-21 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE - CREATE A ZONING OVERLAY FOR THE SEBASTIAN BOULEVARD TRIANGLE DESCRIBING BOUNDARIES, DEFINITIONS AND REGULATIONS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 3, 2005 Chmn. Smith opened the hearing at 7:04 p.m. Mr. Stringer began with a brief history of the CR-512 charette by the Regional Planning Council. He explained that since DCA only accepts two comp plan update submittals a year, initiating an overlay district for the triangle would protect the zoning until a comp plan change can be made. Since the triangle is bounded on both sides by the 512 Overlay District extending the architectural and design criteria to the triangle would be advisable. The most important input from the commission will be the allowed uses for the triangle. Mr. Hass added that the CR~ Plan promotes a commercial/residential mix use in the hope of creating a town center atmosphere. He agreed that the main topic tonight is uses. Mr. Jim Weber, Barber Street, owner of Sebastian Rent-All inquired about his particular business of rentals and repairs and if the use is removed from the triangle area what will happen if one aspect of his business stops and the other continues.
