REVIEW THE EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) OF THE SEBASTIAN
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAKE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
REGARDING ITS APPROVAL
Ms. Grohall asked the commission to review and make a favorable recommendation to
City Council for approval. She added that another public hearing will be held on July 14
for this item.
Prior to his PowerPoint presentation, Brandon Schaad informed the commission and
public that parts of the draft EAR can be viewed on the internet at sebastianear.com and
they can download the drafts, make comments, call, e-mail or Twitter Mr. Schaad.
Mr. Schaad said he would determine if any state or regional requirements have changed
requiring a change to the plan. He asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission
make a recommendation to City Council to approve the EAR. Mr. Schaad reviewed the
major issues: (1) Connectivity of arterial /collector roads and alternative transportation
modes; (2) Economic development and job creation; (3) Balancing sustainable growth
with protection of community character; (4) Future development and funding of the park
and recreation system; (5) Annexation and service delivery.
Mr. Dodd inquired about the ISBA, Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement, and how it
would affect the EAR. Ms. Grohall said due to Senate Bill 360 the ISBA is on hold but it
will be addressed again in the future. Mr. Hepler agreed with other commissioners that
the issue of job creation is of vital concern.
Ms. Grohall said this document is to govern all development for the next 20 years and
there are policy objectives in it. She added that there is an economic development
element that will be brought before the commission shortly. Ms. Grohall credited the City
Council's leadership role in putting in place some economic development projects such
as a number of websites. She noted one called sebastianbusiness.com, which is owned
and managed by the city and includes information for businesses to come locate here
and existing businesses to expand. Also, she listed some economic development
incentives put in to place by the City Council; the property tax abatement program and a
package of other economic development incentives to attract new businesses.
Commissioners added the importance of streets, parks, greenways, and bus and transit
systems to prospective businesses looking to relocate in Sebastian and how these
would appeal to their prospective employees. Mr. Srinivasan had concerns about what
he saw as an increase in crime and he would like to see something in the EAR to
address public safety. Ms. Grohall said they might be able to work some of that
information into the quality of life section.
Chmn. Paul opened the floor for anyone who would speak in favor or opposition of the
EAR. No one spoke.
MOTION by Dodd /Srinivasan to recommend approval of the EAR to City Council with
changes staff finds appropriate based on comments from the commission during this
evaluation.
Mr. Roth asked if he could review the final package prior to its transmittal. Ms. Grohall
said definitely and that the package would go out July 9 with revisions to Council. If
more revisions are necessary before transmittal to DCA for first review, those still can be
incorporated. Ms. Grohall added that there is a website, www.sebastianear.com where
the documents are available instantaneously. There also is a copy in the Growth
Management office that is available for review.
