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 (Chair), Matt Schellenberg, Bill Gulliford and Doyle Carter (arr. 1:10)

 

Jason Gabriel and Jason Teal  – Office of General Counsel; Sean Kelly, Folks Huxford – Planning and Development Department;  Scott Wilson - ECA; Merriane Lahmeur and Heather Pelegrin – Legislative Services Division; Jeff Clements – Council Research Division; Chris Warren – Chamber of Commerce; Sam Mousa

 

Meeting Convened:  1:02 p.m.

 

Chairwoman Boyer reviewed the marked agenda which included 3 items to be deferred, 5 items ready for action (1 marked for withdrawal), 7 public hearings to be opened and continued, and 8 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2012-236 (appeal of Historic Preservation Commission ruling on window replacement): the Chair will allocated 15 minutes each to the appellant and the Historic Preservation Commission for presentations and rebuttal, to be divided as the parties wish.  Other speakers on the issue will be given 3 minutes per person unless there is an overwhelming crowd, in which case the time will be reduced to 1 minute per person.

 

2012-262 (rezoning on Loretto Road): since the land use amendment was denied by the City Council, this rezoning would be inconsistent with the current land use classification.

 

2012-366 (rezoning on St. Johns Avenue): proponents and opponents of this rezoning for a Mellow Mushroom restaurant location have requested deferral after the public hearing is opened.

 

2012-368/369 (rezonings on 3rd Street and Old Gainesville Road): the applicant has not paid the required advertising fee; if evidence of payment of the fees is not received before the meeting then the items will be deferred.

 

Ms. Boyer announced that the four rezoning action items will be taken up first, followed by the MOCA Jacksonville window replacement appeal, then the Mellow Mushroom rezoning public hearing.
