The small scale future land use map amendment application for 21 00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:35,188 consideration is case SSA 2020 602. This request a future land use change of 1500 West Quintet 22 00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:42,863 Road block from RC. The rural community flew to muse mixed use suburban flu requested by 23 00:02:42,863 --> 00:02:49,903 Meredith Bush, the agent for 1500 Quintet Road LLC. The owner staff was notice of the 24 00:02:49,903 --> 00:02:55,342 hearing sent to all parties. Yes sir, and was notice of the hearing posted on the subject. 25 00:02:55,342 --> 00:03:00,013 Property. Yes, sir. All right, staff, can you please present the maps and photographs for 26 00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:11,858 this case? Good morning. Board. Caleb McCarty, ACP planner for Escambia County. First we have 27 00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:20,534 our location map showing the property just down from highway 29 on West Quintet Road. The 28 00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:27,741 500 foot radius map shows the zoning of rural mixed use. We want to note that the previous 29 00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:34,915 zoning designation, which this future land use change relies upon, is v five as village five 30 00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:44,658 of our previous zoning. The current future existing future land use is rural community RC, 31 00:03:44,658 --> 00:03:52,199 and the proposed future land use for this request is mixed use suburban. There are some 32 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:58,905 wetlands on the northern portion of the property. And also flood zone areas to the 33 00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:07,614 north as well. This is a aerial. The property is currently vacant that we could tell. Our 34 00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:13,787 notice of public hearing sign placed along West Quintet Road there. This is looking west 35 00:04:13,787 --> 00:04:20,961 along West Quintet, looking northwest onto the site. It's wooded site. This is looking 36 00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:28,235 north onto the site as well, looking northeast to give us a view and looking east along 37 00:04:28,235 --> 00:04:35,041 West Quintet. It's looking directly south across West Quintet from the site. That 38 00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:40,847 concludes our maps and photography for this case. All right. Thank you very much. 39 00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:46,853 With the applicant, please come forward. State your full name and address. For the record. 40 00:04:46,853 --> 00:04:52,959 Meredith Bush, 314 South Bailen Street, suite 108, Pensacola, Florida 32502. Here on behalf 41 00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:58,398 of the applicant. All right. And you received a copy of the hearing package with staff's 42 00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:02,769 analysis, I did. All right. Go ahead and make your presentation. Thank you. I can 43 00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:08,208 be brief this morning. We are in agreement with staff's analysis just running through 44 00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:13,947 the small scale amendment criteria. There is an identified land use needs, and 45 00:05:13,947 --> 00:05:20,086 the request is based upon professional practices. The parcel is less than 50 acres. 46 00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:27,227 It does not involve a text change and the property is not within a designated area of 47 00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:33,667 critical state concern. Going through the compatibility criteria, let's see where we 48 00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:44,511 are. So average annual daily traffic in the vicinity of the project, 22,500 trips in the 49 00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:54,254 area along North Highway 29, with 1350 trips along West Quintet Road. There's 50 00:05:54,254 --> 00:06:00,360 infrastructure available through sanitary sewer and water. As staff indicated, 51 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:10,570 there are wetlands on the site. It's within the Jacks Branch drainage basin. Solid waste 52 00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:17,944 there's plenty of capacity through Ecua and the Perdido Landfill. The proposed 53 00:06:17,944 --> 00:06:24,117 amendment is not anticipated to have any impact on school capacity at Jim Allen, Ransome 54 00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:29,489 Middle or Tate High School, there are no historic or archeological resources on the 55 00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:35,762 site. This, as staff indicated, does relate to the prior future land use. We have a I'm sorry, 56 00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:42,135 the prior future zoning. We have a savings clause application in and the I'm 57 00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:49,376 sorry what devil was sign o which horse is indicated. He will definitely sign that the 58 00:06:49,376 --> 00:06:54,381 future land use amendment is tied to that savings clause application. So we're reverting 59 00:06:54,381 --> 00:07:00,120 back to the Vr5 in order to have some residential development that will allow 60 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,557 clustering away from those wetlands. And I'm happy to take any questions. All right. 61 00:07:04,557 --> 00:07:11,932 Thanks, Meredith. Board, do you have any questions for the applicant? All right. Seeing 62 00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:20,674 none. Any questions for staff. All right. We don't have any speakers for this today. So I 63 00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:26,579 will entertain a motion if someone would like to make one motion to approve. I got a 64 00:07:26,579 --> 00:07:30,717 motion to have a second. Second. Any discussion on the motion? All those in favor, please 65 00:07:30,717 --> 00:07:38,224 signify by raising your right hand. All right. Motion carries. Next, we'll move on to small 66 00:07:38,224 --> 00:07:44,698 scale future land use map amendment application for consideration. It's SSA 2020 67 00:07:44,698 --> 00:07:50,870 603 request for a future land use change of Bower Road. Parcel number 20 seven. Dash 68 00:07:50,870 --> 00:08:03,483 two, dash 31 2202. Dash 000000 from conservation flu to public flu as requested by Escambia 69 00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:09,255 County, the owner of the property staff was notice of the hearing sent to all parties 70 00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:13,293 was notice of the hearing posted on the subject. Property. Yes, sir. All right. And if I 71 00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:19,699 can have you present the maps and photographs for this case. All right. Again, this small 72 00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:27,273 scale map amendment is shown along Bower Road just north of Atlantis. Here, the current 73 00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:35,515 zoning map shows that it is conservation zoning district. The existing future land use is 74 00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:45,291 also conservation. This request is to change the future land use to public. There are some 75 00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:53,466 wetlands indicated at the bottom associated with the lake north of the subdivision there, 76 00:08:53,466 --> 00:09:02,175 and there's also some flood zone areas within the vicinity. This is an aerial map of the 77 00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:08,581 property. This is a notice of public hearing sign that we required to place on the 78 00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:16,990 property. Looking north along Bower Road. This is looking northeast onto the site from 79 00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:24,464 Bower Road. This is also looking onto the site from Bower Road and looking south 80 00:09:24,464 --> 00:09:30,270 along Bower Road and across from the subject property is a wooded lot as well. That 81 00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:36,643 concludes our maps and photography for this case. All right. Thank you very much. So 82 00:09:36,643 --> 00:09:41,314 since the county is the applicant, I don't know if there's any member of staff 83 00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:49,989 that is wanting to represent. The county today, but certainly would have you come forward or 84 00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:57,263 speak? Certainly we have. Mr. David Cordingly with Facilities Management. This project is 85 00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:01,801 associated with a county project, and David may provide a little bit more detail there. 86 00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:05,371 Great. Good morning everybody. David Cordingly, I'm relatively new with the county and the 87 00:10:05,371 --> 00:10:11,344 county architect. So this is about roughly 5.2 acres that we originally purchased from the 88 00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:17,784 Navy with the intent to build a new fire station out on Bower Road. So this is to for fire 89 00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:22,655 protection for for the Paradise Beach area. This was a package with also Myrtle Grove that 90 00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:26,860 you'll see we're doing four of them because all four of them are kind of zoned. I'm not sure 91 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:31,764 why this one was recreation, but it I think it relates with the property to the West, which 92 00:10:31,764 --> 00:10:36,836 is all public. The idea is to get it as close to to Bower Road as possible, using the 93 00:10:36,836 --> 00:10:41,875 natural vegetation as a buffer to that wetlands in the back. We don't have any intention of 94 00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:45,945 accessing that waterway. And then I know there's some houses to the north and to the south 95 00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:51,718 that will use that vegetation to, to buffer as well. It'll be about an 8 to 10 bed, 2 to 3 96 00:10:51,718 --> 00:10:58,091 bay, relatively small fire station. So, so the county has engaged with the engineering 97 00:10:58,091 --> 00:11:03,863 firm that has conducted a pre-application with the with development services. The issue 98 00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:07,800 obviously, what brings us here is that the conservation zoning doesn't allow for much of 99 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,805 anything, some passive recreational type of uses, trails, those type of things. 100 00:11:12,805 --> 00:11:19,045 It doesn't allow for any residential density. The requested change to public also 101 00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:23,183 does not allow for residential density if there's any concerns related to that, but it does 102 00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:28,922 allow for public, federal, state, local infrastructure, public offices, those type of 103 00:11:28,922 --> 00:11:36,196 things. We understand the intent is the fire station. If the board was to approve this 104 00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:42,068 application, then the engineering firm would then continue the development review 105 00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:46,239 process. That's right. Yeah. Right now it's just early on. We're just doing some soil 106 00:11:46,239 --> 00:11:50,710 testing right now. It's been surveyed and that's that's it. Right. All right. And if I may. 107 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:54,647 Yes, sir. And you know, you know, and even with the Rezonings, we really don't look 108 00:11:54,647 --> 00:12:03,289 at the specific uses. But we do know that that the board that there was some critical 109 00:12:03,289 --> 00:12:07,927 infrastructure, major capital improvement projects, that was that was necessary in the area. 110 00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:15,134 So the board proceeded to go down this path. The use is identified. The need is still 111 00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:23,142 public in order to get those those critical needs, infrastructure projects zoned 112 00:12:23,142 --> 00:12:28,081 correctly. Yeah, yeah. Get fire insurance down, get public safety, you know, critical 113 00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:36,789 needs. Exactly. All right. Thank you. Board. Are there any questions for the county? You 114 00:12:36,789 --> 00:12:41,828 know, I just I felt like I couldn't wait. Now the county it's our turn to get get these 115 00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:45,965 guys on this one. They've they've painted themselves a corner. They have to come for a 116 00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:51,638 rezoning for. And I knew exactly what it was for and I saw duck on it. It's a good 117 00:12:51,638 --> 00:12:56,643 cause I don't we don't get to give him a hard time, I said finally. The shoe is on the 118 00:12:56,643 --> 00:13:01,648 other foot, but it is for a good cause. It just seems way too easy for you guys. Yeah, we 119 00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:05,952 have three more after this and we got some more coming, by the way, so. All right, well, thank 120 00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:10,723 you all very much. All right. Thank you. We do have two speakers for this case. So as I 121 00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:15,228 call your name, if you'll come forward state your name and address for the record and then 122 00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:30,743 we'll get your time started. So I've got Sonny Walbeck. Hello, I am Sonny Burke Walbeck. I 123 00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:37,550 live at one, two, three, two, three Alanthus Drive. I have been around the zoning board. 124 00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:45,558 I've spoken multiple times with Mr. Caleb. My concerns for this project. The governor's office 125 00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:50,496 reached out to me yesterday afternoon. Nick of time. And they have a program called 126 00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:57,303 Florida Forever program where we can petition the state to purchase this land and keep it 127 00:13:57,303 --> 00:14:03,409 in conservation. I am requesting a town hall meeting so that we can the citizens of 128 00:14:03,409 --> 00:14:11,751 the area go over the wetland, study the gopher tortoise relocation and the water 129 00:14:11,751 --> 00:14:17,523 abatement. I am part of the Flood Defenders organization. My community suffered 130 00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:21,494 tremendously during hurricane Sally. We had seven feet of water in my backyard. I had 131 00:14:21,494 --> 00:14:30,069 four feet in my front yard. My land was built up. Now it is not. I have not done a wetland 132 00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:35,475 delineation study in my own backyard to prevent more flooding for my own house, and 133 00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:46,953 I am quite concerned about water encroaching into what is our lake and canal system that 134 00:14:46,953 --> 00:14:52,725 runs the entire circle of my community. We are a giant circle surrounded by water 135 00:14:52,725 --> 00:15:02,635 since hurricane Sally. Every time it rains, we flood. I have lost seven feet of land between 136 00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:10,410 my backyard and the lake since hurricane Sally. We used to have a long space. When it 137 00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:17,650 rains, it comes right up to my chain link fence, which is much further than the property line. 138 00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:24,457 I am very concerned about flooding. I'm very concerned about the ecosystem, and I'm a 139 00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:28,961 little irritated that all of this happened so quickly, and we don't even know if there 140 00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:35,668 were gopher tortoises that needed to be relocated. But the land is now cleared out to show 141 00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:40,706 where it's going to be. I understand the fire station is very important. It would lower 142 00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:46,112 my insurance. I'm all for that. I am also all for the fact that I don't want to flood. So can 143 00:15:46,112 --> 00:15:53,419 we make sure that water abatement is good if we have to depend on the Navy? Mr. Steven 144 00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:59,158 is not very good at clearing out his beavers to keep me from flooding. So what are we going 145 00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:06,599 to do for flooding? You're going to put this in. What's the direct impact on my house 146 00:16:06,599 --> 00:16:11,404 and my neighbor's house? I am a partially paralyzed person. I will walk my entire community 147 00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:16,075 and get everyone to sign against it. I am that passionate because we flooded 148 00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:22,915 and I don't want to flood anymore. So how do we feel about a town hall meeting to 149 00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:35,361 discuss all these things? If I may? The board is clearly. And I'm not. I'm not just trying to 150 00:16:35,361 --> 00:16:39,732 just snowboard. I'm very, very clear what I'm saying. The board is very, very clear with 151 00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:46,606 your concerns. I understand your concerns. These this parcel of land has been really, 152 00:16:46,606 --> 00:16:53,079 really discussed thoroughly. Now, it's not done because there will be another process 153 00:16:53,079 --> 00:16:58,384 if it is approved by recommendations made. There's another process that is called 154 00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:07,260 the site plan review process. Yes. That will that will definitely, definitely be have 155 00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:13,733 questions have addressed the stormwater impacts to the whole area to your property as well. 156 00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:19,605 So so those things would definitely be addressed because this the county project and I 157 00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:27,480 and I can speak for the county, the county do not want to have infrastructure that will cause 158 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,252 additional harms on neighboring properties. That's not the county position as all, 159 00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:39,425 especially when they are owning property and when they are building new infrastructure. So 160 00:17:39,425 --> 00:17:45,131 this site plan review process, the engineering department, along with my other team in 161 00:17:45,131 --> 00:17:50,903 this process will clearly they're going to address all of those things to make sure 162 00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:58,210 adverse impacts is minimized sufficiently. I can always stay involved with the site plan 163 00:17:58,210 --> 00:18:04,884 review process and who horse if is that a public meeting? It's all of what it is public 164 00:18:04,884 --> 00:18:10,222 information, public public structures. There will be public reviews and you can 165 00:18:10,222 --> 00:18:14,694 always contact the public safety department, all of those things. So everything that 166 00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:21,534 we're doing is clearly public. It's in the public records. Yes. And and you know, we've had 167 00:18:21,534 --> 00:18:27,506 conversations. If you could always reach out to myself, me and Mr. Jones are part of the 168 00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:31,277 DRC, the development review. That would be the next step for site development. We've we've 169 00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:36,582 made our concerns, per the land development code known to the applicant, which is ourselves, 170 00:18:36,582 --> 00:18:43,155 but engaged with a local engineer. They will have to do a site specific survey, wetland 171 00:18:43,155 --> 00:18:46,692 delineation if there's any threatened endangered species that are found. We'll approach 172 00:18:46,692 --> 00:18:50,363 that for any type of federal state permits that would be needed. There's process. So 173 00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:55,034 this is a first step in the process of getting the zoning right for the potential use. It 174 00:18:55,034 --> 00:18:59,138 doesn't allow for any type of development. This doesn't confer development rights yet. 175 00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:03,976 So just be aware you can keep in contact with me. I'll be I'll be happy to help you out. 176 00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:13,686 Okay, then. I'm satisfied with that. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Joseph Tarver. 177 00:19:13,686 --> 00:19:18,758 You did pretty good on that. Thank you. Yeah. I don't have any complaints. Okay. My 178 00:19:18,758 --> 00:19:26,999 property line is the adjacent to the northeast truck. Just for the record, we got to get 179 00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:33,539 you to say, state your name and address. My name is Joseph Tavernetti at 1110 Bower Road. 180 00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:42,481 And my request is to have a right of way access. Should a fence be erected on our common 181 00:19:42,481 --> 00:19:48,254 property line. I share property, the northeast property line of the Red triangle. That's my 182 00:19:48,254 --> 00:19:57,596 house in the middle of the. Just just north of the red triangle. So if a if a fence 183 00:19:57,596 --> 00:20:04,136 was erected, it would cut me off from part of my property that I maintain on the other 184 00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:09,442 side of the canal. It's kind of hard to see the canal in that photo, but I have property on 185 00:20:09,442 --> 00:20:20,319 that. And the I'm just requesting a right of way. All right. I guess it would be the 186 00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:24,557 southeast corner. I see where you're talking about where the red line cuts across the canal 187 00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:28,794 and. Yeah, right. Yeah. Right there. Horse. How would something like that work? I 188 00:20:28,794 --> 00:20:33,566 know that's not something that we grant or do. Right. And and what would do we would refer 189 00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:39,071 him to to to to our public works director and his department. Those are, those 190 00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:44,777 are issues. That's beyond that's beyond me and this board. But definitely we'll get with 191 00:20:44,777 --> 00:20:49,815 and they will relay. We can relay your concerns and your requests to them. Will it 192 00:20:49,815 --> 00:20:55,521 happen? I don't know, but but I know they will definitely listen to you as you explain to 193 00:20:55,521 --> 00:21:00,292 them. So that gentleman right there, make sure you give him his name and your card and so 194 00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:04,363 they can make and stay in contact with them. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. All 195 00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:11,737 right. Thank you. That was our two speakers for this case board. Are there any questions 196 00:21:11,737 --> 00:21:16,642 for the applicant? No. I'm just glad they're keeping the county on their toes. That's good. 197 00:21:16,642 --> 00:21:22,214 That's right yeah I agree. Anyone else? All right. If not, I will entertain a motion for 198 00:21:22,214 --> 00:21:27,620 this case. Motion to approve. Second. Got a second? Any discussion on the motion? All 199 00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:35,861 those in favor, please signify. Raise your right hand. All those opposed? All right.

All right. 216 00:23:10,289 --> 00:23:14,660 And the board has previously qualified staff to offer expert testimony in the area of land 217 00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:18,864 use and planning. Does anyone have any questions regarding their qualifications and 218 00:23:18,864 --> 00:23:24,703 ability to offer expert testimony? All right. Seeing none at this hearing, the 219 00:23:24,703 --> 00:23:28,941 Planning Board is acting under orders today. I'll make a motion that we waive the 220 00:23:28,941 --> 00:23:33,746 reading. All right. We've got a motion to waive the introductory statement reading. 221 00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:37,683 Do we have a second? Second? All right, all those in favor, please signify.

And I'll just give a brief synopsis for the public 223 00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:50,729 that we've got five criteria that we base our decisions off of. And we base our decisions 224 00:23:50,729 --> 00:23:56,168 off just those five criteria. And that if you would like to speak at the Board of County 225 00:23:56,168 --> 00:24:00,205 Commissioners meeting about one of these cases that you will need to speak today. So this is 226 00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:05,377 a little different than the previous meeting. We were just in as we were all sitting here. 227 00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:12,484 This one, you do have to speak here under oath, give testimony as this is a quasi judicial 228 00:24:12,484 --> 00:24:17,957 meeting that we're in now. So if you want to speak to them, you got to also sign up to 229 00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:23,696 speak. Speak to us as well. And at the beginning of each case, as long as there's no 230 00:24:23,696 --> 00:24:28,400 objections from the applicant, I'll allow staff to briefly present the location and zoning 231 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,239 maps. And next we'll hear from the applicant and any witnesses they may wish to call. Then 232 00:24:34,239 --> 00:24:38,377 we'll hear from staff, any witnesses they may wish to call. And then we'll hear from 233 00:24:38,377 --> 00:24:44,883 members of the public that have signed up to speak. There are four cases to be heard today, 234 00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:52,057 and we'll start with the rezoning application for consideration. Case Z 2020 605 235 00:24:52,057 --> 00:25:02,534 request rezoning of Bower Road, parcel number 27 to S 3122 02000000 from Conservation 236 00:25:02,534 --> 00:25:08,307 District dwelling unit density limited to vested development to public district dwelling 237 00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:13,712 unit density limited to vested residential development as requested by Escambia County, 238 00:25:13,712 --> 00:25:20,152 the owner members of the board.

I'm familiar with the property as 243 00:25:42,174 --> 00:25:51,850 it was part of a land exchange with the Navy. I have visited the site and know to the rest. 244 00:25:51,850 --> 00:25:59,491 No to all, no to all, no to all. I have visited the site and no to the rest. No to all, no to 245 00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:08,067 all. All right. Staff, since I assume that you are good with presenting the maps and 246 00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:13,572 photographs first, yes, we'll continue again. Caleb McCarty, on behalf of the county, here's 247 00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:20,312 our location map showing the subject property along Bower. The 500 foot radius zoning map. 248 00:26:20,312 --> 00:26:25,717 The conservation zoning district assigned to the property, the future land use 249 00:26:25,717 --> 00:26:32,558 map continued upon the previous meeting would now be future land use of public continued on 250 00:26:32,558 --> 00:26:40,065 BCC acceptance. This is our wetland map again showing the subject property and the flood 251 00:26:40,065 --> 00:26:49,208 zone map of the property. An aerial of the subject property as well. Our rezoning sign 252 00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:57,015 placed along Bower Road there, looking north along Bower, looking northeast onto site 253 00:26:57,015 --> 00:27:04,590 from Bower. Looking on to site from Bower and looking south along Bower, and then directly 254 00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:08,560 across from the subject property across Bower. That concludes our maps and photos 255 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:20,439 for this case. All right. Thank you. And then who from staff will be presenting for the 256 00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:27,012 rezoning hearing. And then as we do for all cases, just state your full name and address for 257 00:27:27,012 --> 00:27:34,419 the record. And I don't know if you were sworn in earlier, but we could have you sworn in. 258 00:27:34,419 --> 00:27:39,158 Okay. We'll have you sworn in as well. Raise your right hand. Do solemnly swear our testimony 259 00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:44,596 about to give in this case will be the truth. The whole truth. Nothing I do right. David 260 00:27:44,596 --> 00:27:50,302 Cordingly working with the county. I'm 23, 75, Pinto Circle and Cantonment, Florida. 261 00:27:50,302 --> 00:27:56,108 All right. Five. Three. Three. Spell your last name accordingly. C o r d I n g l y. 262 00:27:56,108 --> 00:28:03,982 Perfect. All right. And I understand the county has the burden of providing substantial, 263 00:28:03,982 --> 00:28:07,619 competent evidence that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive Plan. 264 00:28:07,619 --> 00:28:11,056 Furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and is not 265 00:28:11,056 --> 00:28:18,830 in conflict with any portion of the county's land development Code. Yes. All right. Go ahead. 266 00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:25,237 Well, it all down. Yeah. I'm with with the county. So the point of this future land use 267 00:28:25,237 --> 00:28:31,577 is to is to turn it to public so it can be a future fire station. That's it seems we 268 00:28:31,577 --> 00:28:39,251 agree with all the staff findings and that's it. Okay. All right. Any questions for 269 00:28:39,251 --> 00:28:49,228 the representative for the county? Seeing none. Thanks. All right. And I assume it's 270 00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:53,398 the same the same thing from you guys as we typically do this a little little odd since 271 00:28:53,398 --> 00:29:01,940 it is the county. So we'll move on to public comment at this time. And we'll have you come 272 00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:08,380 forward. State your name and address. This time you'll be sworn in and we'll start your 273 00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:14,786 time.

Nothing but truth. Yes. My name is Sonny Burke. Walbeck. Okay, we already answered all 277 00:29:39,645 --> 00:29:46,251 of my questions in the last one, but I just want to remember to provide us with a wetland 278 00:29:46,251 --> 00:29:51,256 delineation study, relocate gopher tortoises. And I am very interested in the water 279 00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:59,831 abatement process for this project. Thank you, thank you. Any questions for now? All 280 00:29:59,831 --> 00:30:08,273 right. Our next speaker is Mr. Tavernetti. I think he maybe has exited the building. So 281 00:30:08,273 --> 00:30:16,048 okay. All right. Any other speakers? Very good. All right. Board. That was the only 282 00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:20,485 speaker we had for this case. If there's any further questions we can take those at 283 00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:25,123 this time for the county. Otherwise I'll entertain a motion for this rezoning. 284 00:30:25,123 --> 00:30:30,495 Motion to approve. Second. And a motion. And a second. Any discussion? All those in favor, 285 00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:39,371 please signify by raising your right hand. Okay. Motion carries. Next, we have the 286 00:30:39,371 --> 00:30:48,246 rezoning application for case Z 2020 602 request rezoning of 1900 Border Street from HDMI, 287 00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:54,586 high density mixed use district to CLE heavy commercial and light industrial district 288 00:30:54,586 --> 00:31:01,827 requested by Meredith Bush, agent for Crass Pro Services, LLC, the owner members of the 289 00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:10,035 board. Have there been any ex parte communications on this case? No to all. No to all. Not 290 00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:17,175 all, not all. No to all. No to all. No to all. No. All. Staff was notice of the hearing. Sent 291 00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:22,314 to all interested parties. Yes, sir. And was were signs posted on the subject property. Yes, 292 00:31:22,314 --> 00:31:30,021 sir. Perfect. Meredith. Are we good with maps and photographs being shown? Okay, I'll go 293 00:31:30,021 --> 00:31:37,763 ahead and do that. All right. Board. Andrew Homer, Escambia County development Services 294 00:31:37,763 --> 00:31:46,972 department here we have our location map. This is the 500 foot radius zoning map showing 295 00:31:46,972 --> 00:31:52,544 the zoning on site is high density mixed use. You can see to the north and to the east is 296 00:31:52,544 --> 00:31:59,451 all heavy commercial light industrial. Future land use map. The whole area is mixed use 297 00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:10,595 urban. This is from Ecua. This is our wellhead protection zone map. This is within a 20 year 298 00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:19,171 travel time contour. And this is our community redevelopment area map. The site in question 299 00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:28,513 is part of the Englewood Community Redevelopment Area. This is an aerial of the site. 300 00:32:28,513 --> 00:32:35,720 This is the public hearing sign posted on site. This is looking northeast onto the subject 301 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:45,797 property. Looking east onto the subject property. Looking southeast onto the property. 302 00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:55,907 And this is looking across Border Street to the west from the front of the property. And. 303 00:32:55,907 --> 00:33:03,882 We can go into the findings if you'd like. Yep. So under the approval conditions, the first 304 00:33:03,882 --> 00:33:12,090 one being consistency with the comprehensive plan, the proposed amendment to CLE is 305 00:33:12,090 --> 00:33:17,195 consistent with the intent and purpose of future land use category. Mixed use urban. 306 00:33:17,195 --> 00:33:22,567 Mixed use urban is intended for an intense mix of residential and nonresidential uses, while 307 00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:29,074 promoting compatible infill development and the separation of urban and suburban land uses 308 00:33:29,074 --> 00:33:34,579 within the category. The proposed request would not change the character of the use 309 00:33:34,579 --> 00:33:40,585 on the property parcel, rather, it would bring the preexisting use into compliance with the 310 00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:53,131 code. The second one is consistency with the land Development Code. And the 311 00:33:53,131 --> 00:34:00,038 findings on that. The proposed request for heavy commercial light industrial is consistent 312 00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:05,410 with the intent and purpose of the Land Development Code. Zoning allows for a mix of 313 00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:10,782 industrial uses with a broad range of commercial activities. The primary intent of the 314 00:34:10,782 --> 00:34:15,820 district is to allow light manufacturing, large scale wholesale and retail uses. 315 00:34:15,820 --> 00:34:23,428 Major services and other more intense uses than allowed in the commercial district. All 316 00:34:23,428 --> 00:34:28,500 commercial and industrial operations are limited to the confines of buildings to 317 00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:33,405 alleviate undesirable effects on other property. To retain adequate area for commercial 318 00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:39,577 and industrial activities. Other uses within the district are limited. A memo from 319 00:34:39,577 --> 00:34:43,882 Transportation and Traffic Operations staff regarding this request provides the following 320 00:34:43,882 --> 00:34:49,721 commentary. Tito has no concerns regarding this proposed rezoning. However, the 321 00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:55,427 existing right of way width is substandard, and please note that Tito's review is solely 322 00:34:55,427 --> 00:35:00,131 based on the application submittal packet, so the comments above hold no bearing 323 00:35:00,131 --> 00:35:09,074 on any Tito comments made during the development review process. As to compatibility 324 00:35:09,074 --> 00:35:16,314 with surrounding uses. The uses permitted within Hcli zoning can be compatible with the 325 00:35:16,314 --> 00:35:21,052 surrounding area. Due to the nature of the existing land use along Border Street in the 326 00:35:21,052 --> 00:35:26,191 adjacent area, the pattern is mixed high density residential and heavy commercial uses to 327 00:35:26,191 --> 00:35:31,463 the west of border, and primarily intense commercial and light industrial uses to 328 00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:37,268 the north east, across the railroad and south along the street. The proposed change 329 00:35:37,268 --> 00:35:46,911 would bring the existing uses into conformity with the LDC. Regarding spot zoning. Hcli 330 00:35:46,911 --> 00:35:53,318 zoning is directly adjacent to the north, and the change would not constitute spot zoning 331 00:35:53,318 --> 00:35:58,456 appropriate with changed or changing conditions. The commercial building on site was 332 00:35:58,456 --> 00:36:03,795 built in the 1970s and predates zoning, as do many of the surrounding buildings, and uses. 333 00:36:03,795 --> 00:36:10,435 The original zoning assigned to the area accounted for the high density residential uses, but 334 00:36:10,435 --> 00:36:15,340 did not account for the nature of the existing commercial uses, bringing the zoning into 335 00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:21,813 compliance with the actual uses would be appropriate, and that concludes staff's findings. All 336 00:36:21,813 --> 00:36:28,687 right. Thank you. Any questions for staff from the board? All right. If not, Meredith, if 337 00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:38,430 you'll please come forward. Bush 314, South Balan, suite 108. We agree with staff's 338 00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:43,435 findings. I'm happy to run through ours, but they are pretty much in line with 339 00:36:43,435 --> 00:36:48,506 staff's position, which supports this application. Happy to take any questions 340 00:36:48,506 --> 00:36:54,245 related to this. The subsequent applications are along the same street, so some of the 341 00:36:54,245 --> 00:37:02,120 questions may be similar. All right. Thank you. Any questions for the applicant. All right. 342 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:10,462 If not then I will entertain a motion for this case. Make a motion to approve case 2020 602 343 00:37:10,462 --> 00:37:15,667 second motion a second. Any discussion? All those in favor, please signify by raising your 344 00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:27,779 right hand. All opposed? Motion carries. All right. We have. Our next case is 20 Z 2020 603. 345 00:37:27,779 --> 00:37:39,924 Request of 1516 1512, 1800, 1800 and a half, 1716 and 1800 border Street from DMU to Cly, 346 00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:48,600 as requested by Meredith Bush for T.W. cause, LLC, the owner members. Have there been any ex 347 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:58,176 parte communication on this case? No to all. I'm sorry. No to all. No at all. No to all. 348 00:37:58,176 --> 00:38:05,884 No to all. No to all. No to all, no to all. All right. And we'll now take a look at the maps and 349 00:38:05,884 --> 00:38:14,359 photographs for this case. Yes, sir. This is rezoning 2020 603. And the maps are going to be 350 00:38:14,359 --> 00:38:22,834 very important with this and the following case. Because of the location right next to each 351 00:38:22,834 --> 00:38:28,273 other, they are different cases. It may look the same, but they are different cases. This is 352 00:38:28,273 --> 00:38:35,814 our location map. Here's our 500 foot radius zoning map showing the zoning as DMU and 353 00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:42,153 the zoning to the north and east as heavy commercial light industrial. On the zoning map, 354 00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:50,895 you can see there there are portions of recently vacated right of way in this part. This 355 00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:56,534 parcel, the zoning map just hasn't caught up to that right of way vacation. It will be 356 00:38:56,534 --> 00:39:05,977 filled in with the appropriate zoning soon. Future land use map showing the future land use 357 00:39:05,977 --> 00:39:14,118 for the entire area is mixed use urban. The wellhead map. Once again, it is in a 20 year 358 00:39:14,118 --> 00:39:24,028 travel time contour. And this one is well is within the Inglewood CRA district. Here's 359 00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:34,339 an aerial of the site. This is the public hearing sign. This is looking northeast onto the 360 00:39:34,339 --> 00:39:44,082 subject property. Looking southeast onto the property. Another public hearing sign. 361 00:39:44,082 --> 00:39:50,255 That's okay. Looking onto the site from Border Street and again looking onto the site 362 00:39:50,255 --> 00:39:55,593 from Border Street. It's a large site. This is looking directly across Border Street 363 00:39:55,593 --> 00:40:02,767 from the subject property. Now again from a different portion of the property looking across 364 00:40:02,767 --> 00:40:12,877 border. And this is then looking north along Border Street. As to the findings for 365 00:40:12,877 --> 00:40:22,520 this case. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed amendment to CLE is 366 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,592 consistent with the intent and purpose of future land use category. Mixed use urban. 367 00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:33,064 Mixed use urban is intended for an intense mix of residential and nonresidential uses, while 368 00:40:33,064 --> 00:40:38,803 promoting compatible infill development and the separation of urban and suburban land uses 369 00:40:38,803 --> 00:40:46,377 within the category. Aerial photography shows a similar mix of uses in the area, continuing 370 00:40:46,377 --> 00:40:52,784 from 1980 to the present day. This request, along with the approved right of way vacation, 371 00:40:52,784 --> 00:40:59,257 would serve to bring the zoning and alignment with the existing conditions. Consistency with 372 00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:06,130 the Land Development Code, the proposed request for heavy commercial light industrial is 373 00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:11,169 consistent with the intent and purpose of the Land Development Code. Zoning allows for a mix 374 00:41:11,169 --> 00:41:17,308 of industrial uses with a broad range of commercial activities. Primary intent of the district 375 00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:23,181 is to allow light manufacturing, large scale wholesale and retail uses, major services and 376 00:41:23,181 --> 00:41:28,486 other more intense uses than allowed in the commercial district. All commercial and 377 00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:32,790 industrial operations are limited to the confines of buildings to alleviate 378 00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:37,462 undesirable effects on other property. To retain adequate area for commercial and 379 00:41:37,462 --> 00:41:43,301 industrial activities. Other uses within the district are limited. A memo from 380 00:41:43,301 --> 00:41:47,271 Transportation and Traffic Operations staff regarding this request provides the following 381 00:41:47,271 --> 00:41:53,011 commentary. Tito has no concerns regarding this proposed rezoning. However, the 382 00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:58,449 existing right of way width is substandard. Please note that Tito's review is solely based 383 00:41:58,449 --> 00:42:03,388 on the application submittal packet, so the comments above hold no bearing on any Tito 384 00:42:03,388 --> 00:42:09,827 comments made during the development review process. Compatibility with surrounding 385 00:42:09,827 --> 00:42:16,934 uses. The uses permitted within CLA h zoning can be compatible with the surrounding area due 386 00:42:16,934 --> 00:42:22,507 to the nature of the existing land uses along Border Street in the adjacent area, the 387 00:42:22,507 --> 00:42:27,478 pattern is mixed with high density residential and heavy commercial uses to the west of 388 00:42:27,478 --> 00:42:33,284 border and primary, primarily intense commercial and light industrial uses to the north 389 00:42:33,284 --> 00:42:39,057 and south. Across the railroad to the east is a salvage operation. A more intense use 390 00:42:39,057 --> 00:42:45,530 than the proposed change would allow, and requiring conditional use approval. 391 00:42:45,530 --> 00:42:53,471 Regarding spot zoning. Zoning is to the east, and the change for climate change to CLE for 392 00:42:53,471 --> 00:42:59,477 this parcel would serve to more closely align the zoning districts to the existing land 393 00:42:59,477 --> 00:43:05,249 uses on the land. The site is located in an area where an already established 394 00:43:05,249 --> 00:43:10,721 nonresidential uses are otherwise consistent with CLE, and the proposed change would 395 00:43:10,721 --> 00:43:15,126 constitute infill development of similar intensity. Additionally, the location 396 00:43:15,126 --> 00:43:22,233 would not contribute to or promote strip development due the existing surrounding uses. 397 00:43:22,233 --> 00:43:28,072 Change conditions. The recently approved right of way vacation for this property is a change 398 00:43:28,072 --> 00:43:34,178 condition that will serve to bring the use into compliance, but the rezoning to CLE is 399 00:43:34,178 --> 00:43:39,650 required to fully meet the code provisions. And that concludes staff's findings. All right. 400 00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:45,256 Any questions for staff from the board? Seeing none. Meredith, if you please come 401 00:43:45,256 --> 00:43:51,429 forward your way, we can expedite all of these since they're all approved by the 402 00:43:51,429 --> 00:43:55,032 staff. And I'm assuming you probably don't have any issues with any of them. There's 403 00:43:55,032 --> 00:44:01,806 nobody speaking on them. I'm happy to to consent to expedited hearings. We adopt 404 00:44:01,806 --> 00:44:08,312 fully. Staff's findings would ask that ours be also included in the record. You know, should 405 00:44:08,312 --> 00:44:13,417 anything later come of this. Again, there's no objection. It will upgrade the area they are 406 00:44:13,417 --> 00:44:20,558 in CRA. CRA is fully supportive. CRA plans themselves identify the street as industrial, so I 407 00:44:20,558 --> 00:44:25,997 don't see any future problem. I'm happy to expedite on this. And, you know, carry over those 408 00:44:25,997 --> 00:44:32,403 comments to the following case. All right as well. Happy to do that. And we'll just but we'll 409 00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:38,509 do it for this case separately in the next case separately just to keep them. So yeah. So 410 00:44:38,509 --> 00:44:45,816 as long as they're kept separate okay I'm fine with that. All right. Very good. So 411 00:44:45,816 --> 00:44:51,255 we've got the applicant and staff in agreement. No speakers on this case. So happy to 412 00:44:51,255 --> 00:44:55,426 entertain a motion. Motion to approve. Approve. Second. All those in favor, please signify 413 00:44:55,426 --> 00:45:02,800 by raising your right hand. Motion carries. All right. Our final case for the day is case 414 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:12,476 Z 2020 604. Request zoning 15, 12, 1510 and 1509 Border Street from TMU to Cly. Requested by 415 00:45:12,476 --> 00:45:19,283 Meredith Bush for Angela's Auto Parts, Inc. the owner. Have there been any ex parte 416 00:45:19,283 --> 00:45:26,857 communications board members on this case? No to all. No to all. No to all. No to all. No to all. 417 00:45:26,857 --> 00:45:31,462 Chairman, I need to abstain from this. And I'll read the disclosure for officer's 418 00:45:31,462 --> 00:45:37,969 interest. Jonathan Owens hereby disclose on March 3rd, 2026, the measure came or will come 419 00:45:37,969 --> 00:45:42,607 before my agency in order to special gain or loss of my business partner or business 420 00:45:42,607 --> 00:45:48,779 associate, Angelo Alexakos. The measure before the agency and nature by my conflicting 421 00:45:48,779 --> 00:45:53,050 interest in measure as follows Angelo Alexakos and I are business partners in a separate 422 00:45:53,050 --> 00:46:01,325 company dated March 3rd, Jonathan Owens. All right. Thank you, Mr. Owens. No to all. 423 00:46:01,325 --> 00:46:12,136 No to all. All right. And, Meredith, if you'll come forward and if you are also in 424 00:46:12,136 --> 00:46:18,242 agreement with staff's findings on this case as well. Mr. chairman, if, sir, while staff 425 00:46:18,242 --> 00:46:24,348 findings are similar, I do want to show you on an aerial map, just for the record, this, 426 00:46:24,348 --> 00:46:31,922 while similar in nature, this does also include a property on the west side of Border Street 427 00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:38,863 just by way of separation that these are different cases, but staff has no objection to the 428 00:46:38,863 --> 00:46:46,037 rezoning on this property. All right. Thank you. Meredith Bush 314, South Bay Lane, suite 108. 429 00:46:46,037 --> 00:46:51,742 We would agree with staff's findings. Fully adopt those. For the record, ask that our 430 00:46:51,742 --> 00:46:58,649 submittal also be included in the record and agree to an expedited hearing. Again, we've 431 00:46:58,649 --> 00:47:06,457 had no objection from the public. These are located within a CRA. And the CRA plan 432 00:47:06,457 --> 00:47:12,263 itself identifies this area as needing to be future industrial. I've spoken with Clara Long, 433 00:47:12,263 --> 00:47:18,769 has no objection, and just like any case, it'll go through site plan review process. Happy to 434 00:47:18,769 --> 00:47:27,011 take questions. All right. Board, any questions? If not, I'll entertain a motion for 435 00:47:27,011 --> 00:47:32,450 this case as we have no speakers and applicant and staff are in agreement. Move to 436 00:47:32,450 --> 00:47:40,224 approve 2020 604. All right. Do I have a second? Second. Any discussion? All those in favor, 437 00:47:40,224 --> 00:47:45,763 please signify by raising your right hand. All those opposed? Any abstentions? All right. 438 00:47:45,763 --> 00:47:54,105 Motion carries with six yeses and one abstention. That is our last case for the day. Staff, 439 00:47:54,105 --> 00:48:00,144 is there anything you'd like to say before we part ways for a month? I would just like to say 440 00:48:00,144 --> 00:48:05,950 that next month, meeting Tuesday, April 7th. We have nine cases on there. When you 441 00:48:05,950 --> 00:48:12,056 do see the agenda, however, six of them are for three of the county. Kind of like we had 442 00:48:12,056 --> 00:48:16,660 today, a small scale and a rezoning. So just whenever you see the agenda, know six of 443 00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:35,264 them are together. All right. That call can't be coughing right now.
