Topic:  LUZ Committee agenda meeting

 

Location:  Conference Room A, City Hall – St. James Building; 117 West Duval Street,

     Suite 425

 

In attendance:  Council Members Lori Boyer and Matt Schellenberg

 

Dylan Reingold  – Office of General Counsel; Folks Huxford, Gary Kresel and Bruce Lewis – Planning and Development Department;  Scott Wilson, BeLinda Peeples, Kevin Kuzel and James Nealis - ECAs; Merriane Lahmeur and Heather Pelegrin – Legislative Services Division; Jeff Clements – Council Research Division; David Bauerlein – Florida Times-Union, Paul Harden, Steve Diebenow

 

Meeting Convened:  1:00 p.m.

 

Chairwoman Boyer convened the meeting and asked Dylan Reingold to review the marked agenda which included 10 items to be deferred, 12 items ready for action and 3 public hearings to be opened and continued.

 

2012-602 and -603 (land use amendment and rezoning to PUD on San Pablo Parkway): Dylan Reingold stated that the applicant will be decreasing the amount of property subject to these ordinances by a small amount, so a revised legal description and acreage amount will need to be included by amendment.  Ms. Boyer indicated that Council Member Clark had requested that these items be taken up first on the agenda.  Steve Diebenow indicated that the homeowner association that he represents has concern about the language of one of the conditions; he and Paul Harden representing the developer will meet after the agenda meeting to craft a solution.

 

2012-610 (large scale land use map amendment on Garden Street): Mr. Reingold said that his research finds that the City cannot issue building permits for development on the property until after the amendment appeal deadline passes 30 days after the effective date of the ordinance, therefore there does not appear to be any way to expedite the issuance of a building permit to the property owner to begin work immediately.

 

Chairwoman Boyer announced that Council President Bishop will be in attendance this evening for purposes of attaining a quorum, with several members excused.

 

Ms. Boyer asked the committee members to check their calendars for availability to hold a special LUZ meeting to hear the various Mellow Mushroom restaurant-related appeals.  Potential dates are December 5, 6, 10 or 12.
