REPORTS:
Commissioner Krzyminski commended staff at voting polls.
Staff is requesting to move January 1, 2019 meeting to January 3, 2019, due to holiday.
REQUEST:
Item # 1: Consider ordinance to change the zoning on City owned property extending along Lake
Minneola between 8th Street and 2nd Street to the PR Parks and Recreation District.
APPLICANT: Waterfront Rezoning 8th Street to 2nd Street Parks
Acting Development Services Director, Curt Henschel, presented the staff report as follows:
This rezoning request is an administrative request for City owned property that extends west
from Second Street to Eight Street and runs along Lake Minneola. The property is currently
used as the South Lake Trail, Splash Pad, Highlander Building, Waterfront Pavilion, and
associated parking areas. This area is approximately 30 +/- acres in size and includes Sparking
Water Lake.
The property is currently zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential and R-3
Residential/Professional. The City is undergoing an effort to have the City parks and
recreational areas designated with the PR Parks and Recreation zoning designation. The Land
Development Code allows the City the ability to conduct activities in any zoning district,
however; most people only look at the zoning map and not the zoning code. This zoning
designation is the most appropriate for the use of the property and if approved, will be reflected
on the zoning map.
Section 122-280 of the Land Development Code indicates the purpose of a parks and recreation
district is to designate and ensure that public owned areas of the city are preserved for park, open
space, and recreational purposes for the benefit of the residents and the overall
environment. The permitted uses include publicly owned recreational facilities that may include
Page 1 1
both active and passive facilities. The South Lake Trail, Splash Pad, Highlander Building,
Waterfront Pavilion, and associated parking areas would be permitted uses in this zoning
designation. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the rezoning request from R-2 Medium
Density Residential and R-3 Residential/Professional to PR Parks and Recreation zoning
district.
Curt Henschel clarifies that no changes are being made, just the zoning change to provide
appropriate zoning for the designated use of the property.
Commissioner Smith opened floor to public.
Carla Alford resident,432 Carrol Street, is concerned whether future land not in the PR zone, and
would like to know if any future land use will be changing, as they are concerned for increased
traffic and lack of parking.
Mr. Henschel states the City does have a plan on designating a zoning to all of small and large
land areas. And clarifies that there are no current lands that are going to be changing.
Ms. Alford requested clarification of the Historic District rezoning.
Mr. Mantzaris states further review is required for changes to Historic District.
Eric Minor resident of 662 W. Osceola Street, would like to know when rezoned they were under
the impression that their back yard being turned into a parking lot. Would like information for
overflow parking being established.
Mr. Henschel states there is not further information.
Mr. Minor asked if sidewalks would be input in the location.
Mr. Mantzaris stated the staff nor commissioners make decisions on sidewalks.
Commissioner Smith closed to public portion of the hearing, and returned it to the Board.
Board has no questions or comments.

REQUEST:
Item # 2: Consider Conditional Use Permit to allow for outdoor storage of cars, boats, recreational
vehicles, trailers, and trucks for property located at 1033 Hook Street.
APPLICANT: Hooks Street Storage
Senior Planner, Regina McGruder, presented the staff report as follows:
Page 12
The applicant, is requesting a conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage and parking for
cars, boats, trucks, trailers, and recreational vehicles in the M-1 Industrial zoning district as
required by the Land Development Code, Section 122-272. The code requires any outdoor
storage, must be completely screened from all public streets and adjacent properties. The
property is located at 1033 Hooks Street and is approximately 3.17 +/- acres. The property
consists of two parcels, one parcel is vacant and the other parcel has an existing dilapidated
building that will be renovated for office use.
On February 13, 2018, the City Council denied a Conditional Use Permit request for this
property to allow outside sales and storage. The proposed development will be required to
submit a site plan for review and approval by the site review committee prior to any development
of parcel. In order to develop the site as proposed, the applicant, is requesting three (3) variances
from the Land Development Code, this request will be presented concurrently with the CUP to
the City Council. (1). Elimination of sidewalk along Hook Street Right -of -Way as required by
the Land Development Code, Section 110-264. (2). Elimination of required landscape buffer in
front of the existing building and below the Hook Street retaining wall as required by Section
118-37 and (3). Elimination of the continuous shrub plant materials for Landscape Buffers as
required by the Land Development Code, Section 118-37.
When evaluating a request for a conditional use permit, Section 86-144 of the Land
Development Code requires specific development standards be met. Staff has reviewed the
application as submitted and finds the proposed use does meet the requirements and finds the use
will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in
the vicinity and the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions
contained in Resolution No. 2018-45R.

build on the property. He stated Section 122 allows for parking, but would like the City's input
and has proposed a buffer.
Commissioner Colby requested clarification on difference between parking and storage.
Mr. Zagami clarifies the lot would be leased to the people willing to park their vehicles
Commissioner Smith immediately closed to public portion of the hearing, and returned it to the
Board.
Commissioner Santos asked if gravel would be appropriate.
Page 13

approve the requested motion; it was seconded by Commissioner Colby. Motion passed 4-
1. Commissioner Hubbard as abstention
