Meeting Convened:  1:01 p.m.

 

Chairwoman Boyer convened the meeting and asked Dylan Reingold of the General Counsel’s Office to review the marked agenda which included 5 items to be deferred, 3 items ready for action,  5 public hearings to be opened and continued, and 6 items for second reading and re-referral

 

2012-615 (rezoning on 16th Street West): public hearing will be opened and continued and Folks Huxford will be meeting with Council Member Lee tomorrow to discuss the bill.

 

2012-652 (modification of 2030 Comprehensive Plan to update the Capital Improvements Element): Dylan Reingold and Helena Parola of the Planning Department will be meeting tomorrow to revise the attachment to the bill.

 

2012-657 (appeal of Historic Preservation Commission ruling denying a demolition permit for the Bostwick Building on East Bay Street): the bill will be deferred so as to be taken up in the same committee meeting as 2012-720, a bill designating the Bostwick Building as a historic landmark.

 

2012-690 and -691 (Mellow Mushroom-related appeals of Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Commission rulings): Mr. Reingold announced that a tentative settlement agreement has been reached that is awaiting signature by the 5 parties involved.  He and the Planning Department will be meeting with the parties at 3:00 p.m. today to review the settlement agreement and to discuss whether the proposed conditions are acceptable to the City.  If all parties are in agreement, the special LUZ meeting on Saturday will still be needed in order to hold the advertised public hearing and to allow the LUZ Committee to approve the conditions.  Council Member Boyer and various staff will be meeting at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow to review the settlement agreement and to discuss procedures for the Saturday special meeting.  Mr. Reingold will circulate the draft settlement agreement to the LUZ members when he receives it.  He understands that RAP and some of the other parties may each wish to take a few minutes at the Saturday meeting to explain how the settlement agreement addresses their concerns, but a full-scale appeal is not anticipated to be necessary.  Lisa Shepherd noted that the committee will need to address the Certificate of Appropriateness appeal at the special meeting in order to adopt amended conditions.

 

2012-731 (resolution urging the Governor and Legislature to amend the Florida Statutes with regard to regulation of manufactured buildings): Mr. Reingold said that an amendment will be needed at the next meeting to add an additional Florida Statutes chapter reference.
