LeBlanc gave his presentation. He stated that the applicant, Lee Munizzi, was
not present. He stated that the property is under contract pending the change
of zoning to C-1. The plans are for an office building.
There was question as to whether the property owners were notified of this
request to change the zoning. It was stated that the property owners were
notified.
There was discussion on the request.
McLeod moved to recommend to the City Commission approval of the application to
change the zoning from R-3 to C-1. Second by Torcaso. Vote: All aye. Motion
carried.
Dorman asked if there was any other business to come before the Board.
Sapori to stated that in the PUD zoning there are two tests to review for the
PUD zoning. He stated that one allows the Board to make recorrunendations aye or
nay, and the second allo';\lS the Board to make recorrunendations with approval with
several changes to be made. He stated that this seems to be inconsistent from
what we were told at the workshop that was held with the Commission, and what
was told to us by the City Attorney.
Saporito stated that the Code should be rewritten to clearly state the roles,
responsibilities and how the Planning and Zoning Board is suppose to accomplish
their goals. He stated that this should be clarified better and the criteria
for which the Board is to lnake their decisions.

Koch stated that with the exception of rezonings the Board has the right to
suggest modifications.
There was discussion on this subject. It was determined that the Planning and
Zoning Board I s duties should be clarified better. Dorman suggested that the
Board go over the Code as to the duties of the Planning and Zoning Board and
come back with comments on the problem areas.
McLeod stated that the Board has yet to hear from the City Attorney concerning
the workshop that was held in April. There was discussion on this matter.
Dorman stated that this is a formal request from this Board that the Board
requests the City Corrunission to redirect the City Attomey to provide
guidelines to the Planning and Zoning Board that were promised at the April
workshop which was held between the Planning and Zoning Board and the City
Cormnission. At that workshop the Attomey stated that he would provide a
"whi te paper" as to the guidelines for the Board to follow in making their
decision.
Dorman stated that there is another area that needs clarification. He stated
that the PUD ordinance was revised and if there is a change to a PUD that was
previously approved does this cl1ar>..ge go by the old ordinance or does it go by
the existing ordinance.
There was discussion on this subject. It was determined that the Chairman
would write a letter to the City Manager asking for legal opinion on how to
interpret the wording in the Code where it is stated llnew approvals II concerning
the PUD zoning.
The meeting was adjourned at 8: 15 P.M.
