The meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission was called to order Tuesday,
January 4, 2001 at 7:00 P.M., by Chairman Charles Forth. Members present were Bill
Rauch, John Atwater, Frank Caputo, Richard Tegen, Dave Lange, and Gene Crossley.
Also in attendance were Barry Brown, Director of Planning, Mimi Ogden, Planner I,
Jane McAllister, Planning Technician II, and City Attorney Robert Guthrie.
MINUTES of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held December 5, 2000
were approved with minor changes.
1. SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
APPLICANT: Ignatius W. and Carol A. Adams
OWNER: Same
REQUEST: For a small scale comprehensive plan amendment to change the Future
Land Use designations of Lot 12 in Block 79.
GENERAL LOCATION: The property is located on the north side of Minneola Avenue
between 7th and 8th streets.
SIZE OR PARCEL: 7500 square feet.
EXISTING LAND USE: Undeveloped
FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICT: The subject property is in the Non-Established
District -2, (NED-2) land use district.
FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION: The subject property is classified as
Residential.
EXISTING ZONING: R-3
Barbara Hollerand, Planner, introduced this small scale comprehensive plan
amendment by stating that the applicants own two lots in Block 79, lots #12 and #14.
Block 79 is split between Central Business District land use and Residential land use.
The applicant's Lot 12, which is residential, is adjacent to their Lot 14, which is in the
Central Business District and may be developed as commercial. The applicants would
like the option of developing both lots jointly as commercial.
The Wetzels, previous owners of lots 12 and 14, had made an identical request before
the Council in 1998. At that time, the Council had been receptive to the change, but had
directed staff to contact the other residential landowners in Block 79 to ascertain if they
` • •

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

Page-2-
too would like their properties to be included in the Central Business District. Prior to
this contact, however, the Wetzels withdrew their request and no further action was
taken.
In October 2000, staff wrote the nine other residential property owners on Block 79 to
notify them that an adjacent property owner was requesting a Future Land Use change.
The letter advised the other owners that they too could request a similar change for
their property. However, no other owners were interested in requesting the change at
this time.
It is staff's recommendation to change the Future Land Use district of Lot 12 from NED-
2 to EBD-1 and to change the land use classification from Residential to Central
Business District. This change would be a natural expansion of the Central Business
District and a redevelopment project compatible with the objective of the
comprehensive plan.
Richard Tegen asked if any of the other property owners opposed the change. Barbara
Hollerand replied that there had been no opposition.
Mr. Tegen then asked if the proposed use was known and Barry Brown, Director of
Planning replied that it was not.
Charles Forth asked if an owner of a property adjacent to this one wanted to change
their property designation would they have to ask for a small scale comprehensive plan
amendment and Barry Brown replied that they would.
Charles Forth, Chairman of the Commission asked if the property owner or
representative was present. They were not, so Mr. Forth opened the subject to public
discussion. There was none and Mr. Forth opened the discussion to the Commission.
Richard Tegen made a motion to approve the request for a small scale comprehensive
plan amendment. Gene Crossley seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in
favor of approval.
2. REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

fiber optic relay booster station is an appropriate use at this location. A similar facility, a
fiber optic regeneration station, is currently in operation on Lot #19 of Clermont
Commons. Staff has not received any complaints regarding the operation of this facility.
The property has the appropriate land use designations and zoning.
Charles Forth asked if the owner or representative of the applicant was present.
Phil Russo, 205 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois was sworn in. Mr. Russo is a
representative Teng & Associates.
Richard Tegen asked the size of the stand by generator.
Mr. Russo replied it was a 450 kw generator.
Mr. Tegen stated that was a good size generator and asked about the noise associated
with it.
Mr. Russo explained that there would be an 8 foot sound abatement all the way around
the generator.
Mr. Tegen then asked if there was any protection relating to the fuel storage.
Mr. Russo replied that it was a double walled tank with detection on the inside of the
tank, and that the tank meets Florida state regulations.

any questions the Commission might have.
Charles Forth asked if the Commission had any questions.

EXISTING ZONING: R-3, Residential/Professional and C-2, Commercial District.
Barry Brown, Planning Director, introduced this CUP stating that in January of 1998 a
conditional use permit was approved that allowed for the construction of professional
offices on this site. Subsequent to that approval, the property owner requested a land
use amendment to change 3.5 acres of the property that fronted S.R. 50 from
professional office to commercial. The land use change and associated rezoning were
completed in 1999. In conjunction with the land use amendment, a developers
agreement was executed that addressed allowable uses, dedication of right-of-way, and
phasing of the development, etc. The original CUP expired in April of 1999 because
construction had not commenced.
The current applicant is requesting restaurant, professional office, and financial
institution uses and up to 15,000 sf of retail space on the portion of the property fronting
S.R. 50 and professional offices on the remainder of the property. This is consistent
with the developer's agreement that currently runs with the property. The proposed
uses for the site are consistent with the land use designations and zonings assigned the
property. The uses are appropriately located and the project is phased to coincide with
the construction of Oakley Seaver Drive.
Mr. Brown stated that staff approves this request highlighting the following conditions:
On the commercial portion no service stations or gas stations are allowed. They are
limited to banks, restaurants, retail or professional office in the C-2 portion. The
southerly professional office portion will not be able to be developed until the southern
extension of Oakley Seaver Drive is completed. This would be a secondary access to
the site. He further stated that the developer will request a variance to be allowed to
have off site water retention.
Mr. Forth stated that when Planning & Zoning originally looked at this property the
roadway was more to the east and on the property in question. However, the roadway is
now more to the west and in Lake County. He further stated that the developer does
not own the property that would have to be dedicated for the roadway and has no
control over when the roadway will be constructed. This could prevent him from building
the proposed professional offices on the southerly portion of the property. Mr. Reese,
the developer, had informed Mr. Forth that a traffic study for the total package
containing traffic counts didn't trigger that that road had to be in there. He was trying to
stay as safely as he could with the right in, right out, from S.R.50. Traffic circulation was
completely contained on his property.
Barry Brown stated that he could not speak to the realignment of the roadway to the
north of S.R. 50, but that from the beginning and included in the developers agreement
• •

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

was the fact that this road needed to be constructed in order to develop the
professional offices on the south portion of the property.
Mr. Forth posed the question of how you can require a developer to provide roadway
infrastructure on property they don't own.
Mr. Brown replied that the City is not requiring them to participate in the construction of
that roadway, but is saying it has to be in place in order for their professional offices to
be constructed. The City fully expects that in the near future development pressure will
result in the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way to allow for construction of Oakley
Seaver Drive..
Frank Caputo pointed out that it would be all right for the developer to go ahead with
Phase I but needs Oakley Seaver Dr in place before the professional offices on the
south portion of the property could be developed.
Charles Forth asked if the owner or his representative was present.
Jayson Stringfellow, 11006 CR 561 A, Clermont, FL was sworn in as was Jay Jackson,
1080 Woodcock #108, Orlando, FL.
Charles Forth asked for questions for the representatives.
Richard Tegen asked why there were two trip manuals included in the packet.
The response was that one was done for two restaurants and the other was done for a
restaurant and a bank which would be different since the bank generates trips in a
different way.
Mr. Jackson stated he would like to address Phase II of the project with respect to
Oakley Seaver Drive. He stated they have been in contact with DOT, and he feels the
developer can construct the whole project without the extension of Oakley Seaver Blvd.
He expressed the opinion that the right in, right out on S.R. 50 would be sufficient to
handle the traffic into and out of the complex since the professional offices and the
restaurants have different traffic patterns.
John Atwater asked if the trip manual figures were based on one restaurant or two.
Mr. Jackson replied that it was based on 14,000 square feet, however divided.
Gene Crossley asked for the applicant to address the off site storm water retention.

Jayson Stringfellow stated that Lake County needs some additional storm water area
and they have been talking to them about increasing the size of the basin so they can
share with another user as well.
Mr. Forth asked if the widening to S.R. 50 has been taken into account.
The answer was yes.
Mr. Stringfellow mentioned that there were two matters that would require variances,
the off site stormwater and signage.
Mr. Stringfellow also mentioned that there were only two points with which the
developer disagreed. The first was Oakley Seaver Blvd. and the other is for the
abolishment of the Developers Agreement that was drawn up under another CUP.
Charles Forth asked if there was anyone in the public who wished to speak.
Bob Reese, 952 Moss Lane, Winter Park, FL was sworn. Mr. Reese stated that he
developed Sonny's and the Theater on the north side of S.R. 50 and he feels strongly
against having to wait for Oakley Seaver Drive to be in place, when development
regulations allow him to build.
Amy Moriarty, 1614 Lakeshore Drive, Clermont, FL was sworn in. She asked what the
landscape requirements were and if they have already been submitted and approved,
and what signage was allowed.
Barry Brown told her the size and type of landscape buffer will be used. He explained
that the landscape plan had not yet been submitted. He then told her the size and type
of signage that would be permitted.
Charles Forth asked if the Commission had any comments.
Frank Caputo asked Mr. Robert Guthrie, City Attorney, if the Commission had to
consider the variance for off site storm water retention.
Mr. Guthrie replied that it did not.
Frank Caputo then asked if the City could keep them from developing the professional
portion until Oakley Seaver is extended if they approve this CUP.

Mr. Guthrie stated there was an existing requirement to that affect in the developers
agreement.
John Atwater asked Barry Brown how long he expects it to be until Oakley Seaver Drive
is extended. Barry Brown replied that he didn't know.
Frank Caputo made a motion to approve the CUP with the commercial section to be
developed now and the professional section to be developed when the extension of
Oakley Seaver Drive is in place. The motion was seconded by Richard Tegen. The vote
was 5-2 for approval with Charles Forth and John Atwater voting Nay.
4. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: Daryl Carter for Solo Development Corporation.
OWNER: Chester C. Fosgate Company
REQUEST: For Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a shopping center
with up t0 202,500 square feet of retail space and five (5) out parcels.
GENERAL LOCATION: The property is located at the northeast corner of S.R. 50 and
N. Hancock Road.
SIZE OF PARCEL: +/- 40 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Undeveloped.
FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICT: The subject property is in the Undeveloped District - 5
(UD-5) land use district and the requested use is an allowable use at this location.
FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION: The subject property is classified as
Commercial. The requested use is allowed in the Commercial land use classification.
EXISTING ZONING : C-2, Commercial District. A shopping center is a conditional use
in the C-2 zoning district.
Barry Brown, Director of Planning, stated that this shopping center project was originally
approved under a CUP as adopted by Resolution No. 1067 in May of 1999. Due to a
failure to commence construction, the original CUP expired in August of this year. The
applicant has amended the original CUP, reducing the retail space from 247,000 sf to

202,500 sf. The revised project along with grading and landscape plans were presented

to the City Council in workshops held on August 7 and 28, 2000 and December 7,
2000.
It is the consensus of staff that the applicant has met the grading ordinance to the
greatest extent possible given the existing site conditions. And that the proposed
grading plan and requested variances will allow reasonable development of the
property while minimizing the loss of natural topography.
Daryl Carter, 908 S Delaney Avenue, Orlando, FL was sworn in.
Mr. Carter showed a map of the project area and said that he would like for staff to
change the language in Section 2, paragraph 2 which prohibits a convenience store or
gas station from being built on the site. Also in Section 2, paragraph 3 it states that the
permittee shall reserve a strip of land thirty feet wide for the future South Lake Trail. Mr.
Carter said the agreement was for twenty feet. In Section 3, paragraph 3 Mr. Carter
asked that the reference to signalization be deleted since the signal is already in place.
Mr. Carter asked that in Section 3, paragraph 5 the language be changed from "shall be
dedicated prior to the commencement of construction" to prior to certificate of
occupancy. In Section 5, paragraph 2 Mr. Carter wants to be able to change some
landscaping with the approval of staff and the City Council. Then in Section 7 there
needs to be some clarification of the terminology for example "arcades".
Barry Brown advised the Commission that the two variances associated with this project
will be considered by the City Council. One is a request for a wall height of 10' rather
than the 6' required in the code, and relief from the variance that allows 100,000 square
feet of retail space. They would like to be able to have a single retail establishment that
will occupy 186,500 square feet.
Charles Forth asked if anyone from the public who would like to speak for or against.
Elaine Tharp, 2322 Twickingham Way, Clermont, FL., Mick Candaruso, 1114 Mesa
Verde, Clermont, FL., and Susie Gibson, 12310 Sunshine Drive, Clermont, FL., were
sworn in.
Ms. Tharp expressed the opinion that if the developer has no intention of having a
convenience store or gas station as a tenant on an out parcel then they should not
object to having that language included in the CUP.
Mr. Condorousis a representative of Levitt Homes, Summit Greens, expressed support
for the CUP in front of the Commission.

Susan Gibson expressed the opinion that the City should not make an exception to the
100,000 square feet ordinance.
Charles Forth opened the floor to the Commission.
Frank Caputo asked if the drop off from the north entrance on Hancock to the shopping
center is almost 50 feet.
Scott Gentry, engineer for Solo Development replied that it was.
Frank Caputo then asked what it would take to meet the grading ordinance, and Mr.
Gentry replied that it can't be done on that property.
Frank Caputo then commented that it could be done if there was a smaller building and
less parking.
Mr. Gentry pointed out that this plan creates a large buffer between the residential and
other commercial areas along S.R. 50.
John Atwater expressed concern that traffic would back up on S.R. 50 from the light at
Hancock Road because of having two right out only exits on to S.R.50.
Barry Brown explained that the right outs on to S.R. 50 are necessary. The Hancock
Rd/S.R.50 intersection could not handle all of that traffic.
Daryl Carter explained that the distance from the intersection to the first right out on to
S.R. 50 is 600 feet and will leave plenty of room for traffic.
Charles Forth stated that he was glad that Levitt Homes is happy with the project but
that he is concerned about where the delivery trucks are going to enter the property.
Where are the noise and light barriers?
Daryl Carter cited Section 5, paragraph 2 of the CUP which provides for the permittee
to construct a wall and landscape buffer, in excess of City regulations, that effectively
provides a visual buffer along the east side of the shopping center from the northeast
corner of the main retail space to the southeast corner of the smaller retail space.
Barry Brown mentioned that the grading at the location provides a natural sound and
light barrier.

Charles Forth then asked about the buffering between the Trail and commercial area.
He said he would like to see some mention of landscaping being required for this
purpose.
Barry Brown answered that landscaping along the parking lot perimeter was addressed
in the CUP and that additional landscaping would be presented by the Carters at the
Council meeting and incorporated into the CUP at that time.
Charles Forth asked about having some guarantee from the proposed occupant of the
large retail space that they will not "go dark", meaning that the tenant could move and
leave the store sitting empty.
Daryl Carter stated that Target would not sign any agreement not to go dark, and he
couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't happen by that the likelihood was very slim since the
tenant would own the site, not merely lease it. The tenant would have a financial
incentive to keep the site occupied.
Richard Tegen asked if there was a well on the property.
Mr. Carter responded that they intended to put a well on the property for irrigation
purposes.
Mr. Tegen then asked who the proposed tenant was going to be.
Mr. Carter explained that he was not permitted by the tenant to reveal the identity until
this point in the process. The proposed tenant is Target.
Ms. Gibson asked if the proposed Target would be a 24hour facility
Mr. Carter stated he was not sure and would find out, but that he didn't believe that it
was.
Charles forth asked for a motion.
Richard Tegen made a motion to approve the CUP as presented except for deleting the
sentence in the Transportation section asking for signalization at Hancock Rd and
S.R.50. John Atwater seconded the motion. The vote was 4-3 in favor of approval with
Charles Forth voting Nay because of his concern to be consistent with the 100,000
ft. in the City code. Frank Caputo voted Nay because the project doesn't meet the
grading ordinance. Gene Crossley voted Nay for both of the above reasons.

Barbara Hollerand introduced the Comprehensive Plan Amendments to the Planning &
Zoning Commission. She explained the process for Large Scale Amendment saying
that it goes to the Council Workshop, then to the Planning & Zoning Commission for a
hearing, then to a Council transmittal hearing. Finally the DCA reviews the proposed
amendment and returns it with objections, recommendations and comments.
In the 2001 Amendment presentation are Annexations (1998-Present), Applicant
requested amendments, and Administrative changes.
The first annexation for which the City must assign a land use is Lincoln Groves
property, east of Hancock Rd and both north and south of Hartwood Marsh Road.
It is 180 acres that requires a map change from the County designation of Rural to the
Future Land Use: UD-7 Residential.
Barry Brown stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission would need to make a
recommendation for each case. This is an administrative duty to assign a new land use
designation.
Frank Caputo stated that he would like to see this particular property stay UD-1 rather
than UD-7. His concern was for water conservation and he stated that 1 acre home
sites would serve that purpose better than a more dense designation.
Barry Brown explained that this could be a motion to the council, but that the reason
this was before the Commission now was to assign a land use and we are assigning a
land use of residential.
Frank Caputo made a motion to approve the newly assigned land use designation of
UD-7. Dave Lange seconded the motion which was approved by a unanimous vote.
The second annexation for which the City must assign a land use is Hubbard (Tract 11).
The property is located north of S.R. 50 and south of the National Training Center. It is
approximately 5.9 acres and requires a map change from the County designation of
Urban, to the Future Land Use: UD-5 Commercial.
Frank Caputo made a motion to approve the newly assigned land use designation of
UD-5 Commercial. The motion was seconded by Gene Crossley and approved b~
unanimous vote.
The third annexation for which the City must assign a land use is Hillary (Tracts 6 & 11).
This property is located east of U.S. 27 south of Steves Road. It is approximately 15
acres and requires a map change from the County designation of Urban Expansion to
the Future Land Use: UD-2 Commercial.

Bill Rauch made a motion to approve the newly assigned land use designation of UD-2
Commercial. The motion was seconded by Frank Caputo and approved by a
unanimous vote.
Barbara Hollerand stated that the next order of business was Applicant Requested
Amendments -Large Scale.
The first of these amendments for which the City must assign a land use is Hillary
(Tract 12). This property is east of U.S. Highway 27 and south of Steve's Road. It is 10
acres and requires a map change from Residential to Commercial.
Frank Caputo made a motion to approve the change in use for this property. The
motion was seconded by John Atwater and approved by a unanimous vote.
The second of these amendments for which the City must assign a land use is Carter
Case #1. This property is located at State Road 50 and Citrus Tower Blvd. The property
is 5 acres and the applicant is requesting a change from UD-5 Residential/Professional
to UD-2 Commercial. The property is the remainder of a 15- acre parcel of which the
adjoining 10 acres was granted Commercial through a small scale amendment. This
requires a map change.
Frank Caputo asked Daryl Carter about the dedication for Frontage Road.
Daryl Carter replied that he was discussing the dedication with Shannon Elawick of
South Lake Memorial Hospital.
Frank Caputo make a motion to approve the request. The motion was seconded by
Richard Tegen and approved by a unanimous vote.
The third amendment for which the City must assign a land use designation is Carter
Case #2. This property is located at State Road 50 and Citrus Tower Blvd. The property
is 4.82 acres and the applicant requests a change from ResidentiaVProfessional to
Commercial. This requires a map change and a text change.
The text change would be to the UD-5 language as follows:
#6 which states "General commercial use should be allowed... east of Grand Highway
at the intersection of Hwy 50 and Hancock Road, surrounding the intersection not to
exceed 660 feet, north, east and west". This would have to be changed as to the
number of feet from the intersection, or the distance restriction would have to be
removed entirely.

#10 which states "Property designated as UD-5 located north of Hwy 50, lying between
Jack's Lake Road, and the planned frontage/reverse frontage road should be allowed
professional office, multifamily and townhouse development not to exceed 8 units per
acre." This would have to be changed to add commercial uses.
Charles Forth commented that if we are going from residential/professional to
commercial then we should eliminate the option for multifamily in that area.
Barry Brown stated that they either need to extend the 660 foot limit or to eliminate it
altogether.
Frank Caputo commented that a reverse frontage road needs to be in place before they
allow commercial use.
Frank Caputo made a motion to leave the property designation of
Residential/Professional and not to allow Commercial. Dave Lange seconded the
motion. The vote was 5-2 in favor of leaving the present designation. Charles Forth
voted Nay expressing a desire to have another meeting to decide on a definite
distance. Richard TecLen voted Nay.
The fourth amendment for which the City must make a land use designation is Carter
(Case #3). This property is located east of Citrus Tower Blvd., and north of Oakley
Seaver Drive. The property is approximately 69 acres and the applicant requests a
change from Residential to Residential/Professional to support the hospital. This
requires a map change.
Frank Caputo asked if the property could be designated just Professional rather than
Residential/Professional.
Barry Brown said that in the UD-5 language you could specify that in this area could be
professional office only.
Daryl Carter stated that he would like to see the mixed use so that there could be
medical, assisted living and office space for professionals, thus supporting the hospital.
Richard Tegen made a notion to approve the change to Residential/Professional. The
motion was seconded by Gene Crossley and the vote was unanimous in favor of the
chan e.

The fourth amendment for which the City must make a land use designation is the
Cunningham amendment. This property is located east of Citrus Tower Blvd., north of
Oakley Seaver Drive. The property is 1 ~h acres and the applicant requests the change
from Residential to Residential/Professional in order to be consistent with the adjoining
property. This requires a map change.
Gene Crossley made a motion to approve the change to Residential/Professional. Dave
Lange seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of approval.
The fifth amendment for which the City must make a land use designation is the Don
Casto Organization. The property is located north of S.R. 50, west of Citrus Tower Blvd.
The property is approximately 23 acres. The applicant requests the ability to construct
professional office and/or multifamily. The future land use would go from Residential to
Residential/Professional. This would require a map change and a text change.
The text change to the UD-5 language would be as follows:
#12 "Lands located adjacent to Jack's Lake should allow detached single family, two
family, clustered multifamily and townhouse development not to exceed 4 units per
acre." Professional office would have to be added to the allowed uses, and the
expression "not to exceed 4 units per acre" would be deleted.
Bill Rauch made a motion to approve the request. Dave Lange seconded the motion
which was approved by a unanimous vote
The sixth amendment for which the City must make a land use designation is the Wade
amendment. This property is located north or S.R 50, east of Jack's Lake and west of
Citrus Tower Blvd. The property is approximately 8'h acres and the applicant is
requesting a change in designation from Residential to Commercial. This will require a
map change and a text change.
The text change to the UD-5 language would be as follows:
#12 "Property designated UD-5 located north of Hwy 50 east of Jack's Lake, and west
of the intersection of Hwy 50 and Jack's Lake Road should provide continuation of the
established general commercial node surrounding the intersection of U.S. 27 and S.R.
50. General commercial use should occur adjacent to major roadways and not extend
more than 1,300 feet north of Hwy 50." The City would need to extend commercial
beyond 1,300 feet to the northern boundary line of Tract 64.
Barry Brown suggested limiting the commercial in this area to hotel use.
Bob Wade asked that the commercial not be limited to the hotel only, stating that there
may be a conference center as well.

The text change to UD-6 language would be as follows:
#5 "Property designated UD-6 located south of the planned frontage/reverse frontage
road and adjacent to Hancock Road should be permitted single family residential
development not to exceed 4 units per acre." There would have to be a change in the
units per acre from 4 to 8.
Doug Metzger with Glatting Jackson stated that the multifamily would buffer the
commercial along Hook Street from the single family.
Frank Caputo asked why they needed an increase in units per acre.
Barry Brown stated that this would not be apartment houses but town homes, and that
there was not similar housing planned for this area.
Frank Caputo made a motion to approve the map change to the commercial and
multifamily but leave the text at four units per acre. Gene Crossley seconded the
motion and the vote was unanimous in favor of the map change and denying the text
change.
The eighth amendment for which the City must make a land use designation is the
Ladd amendment. This property is south of Hunt Street, and west of US Hwy 27. The
property is approximately 5'/2 acres and the applicant, who owns commercial property
to the north would like to expand. This requires a map change from Residential to
Commercial, and a text change.
The text change to the UD-3 language would be as follows:
#3 "Retail sales only on property with access to Highway 27 and located north of Hunt
Street". "There would have to be a change to allow commercial south of Hunt Street.

going to be multifamily. This would effectively buffer his proposed commercial property
from the single family.

Frank Caputo voting Nay.

motion and the vote was unanimous in favor of the change.

Appendix C. Copies of Appendix C and accompanying maps are attached and become

change to "Allowable Used" from "Permitted" uses. The addition of the term "personal
services" where necessary, and the addition of uses to some districts.

future six-lane roads. Update the Future Traffic Circulation System map to show S.R.
50 and U.S. 27 as six-lane principal arterials.
