CDD/October 15, 199912:56 PM October 25, 1999 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM A Page 4 LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION: At it's December 2, 1998 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Board adopted the following motion: I (Bill Fernandez) make a motion that we recommend approval of these Town Center District Design Codes to the City Commission, based on the findings that our local government should articulate a vision of the future physical appearance and quality in this community, that we have received meaningful public participation at various meetings, that we do need to have an identified Town Center. I will further indicate or add to that, that just as the Town Center overlay zoning district regulations of September 8, 1997, Ordinance 676, was made inapplicable to the Schrimsher property until such time as a development agreement was developed, that in this particular case that I would recommend that the City Commission make this Town Center District Code inapplicable to the Schrimsher property as well as the gentleman's property in the descriptions here, the Spring Land Investment, Ltd. and Jessup Shores, Ltd. EuroAmerican Investors group represented by Sunbelt Investors Group, Mr. AC. Leerdam, that it be inapplicable until such time as a developer's agreement is negotiated with those parties, and or the property is purchased by a master developer. I would note for the record, that since we are acting in our capacity as the Local Planning Agency on a broad scale as opposed to one single parcel, that we do not need to make the detailed findings of fact that are required when we are dealing with a very small parcel of property. Although I have included in my motion general findings of fact, including the presentation of all those who have come forward and spoken this evening including Mr. Schrimsher and Mr. Leerdam as well as Mr. Michael Grindstaff, that's my motion. Seconded by Roseanne Karr. Vote all aye.
