Chairwoman Boyer called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. CM Boyer reviewed the marked agenda which contained 5 items marked for deferral, 6 items ready for action, 8 public hearings to be opened and continued, and 14 items for second reading and re-referral.

 

2013-493 (sign ordinance): CM Boyer reported due to a scheduling conflict CM Clark requested a deferral. OGC has not submitted requested documentation (chart) to CM Boyer. Mr. Gabriel will follow up and make sure the committee receives the information.

 

2014-47 & 2014-48 (small scale /rezoning 8789 San Jose Blvd): Mr. Huxford stated that bill has been in LUZ while its companion has been hung up in Planning Commission with rezoning to PUD. The last PC vote resulted in a 4-4 tie. CM Boyer commented there may be some resolution after speaking with the applicant and neighbors to get bill out of planning.

 

2014-62 (rezoning 7981 Baymeadows Circle W): CM Redman and Mr. Paul Harden will get together today after agenda meeting to confirm action of bill for the committee meeting and report back to CM Boyer.

 

2014-138 & 2014-139 (small scale/rezoning 7981 Baymeadows Cir W): Council President Gulliford commented that his biggest issue is the intersection that he suggests should be moved.  He does not want to impede the process but believes that issue must be addressed.  CM Boyer reported a staff report has not been submitted within the allotted 63 days.  According to the Code, the committee can consider this as a presumed recommendation of denial and move forward.  She recommended that all parties meet to determine if this will be a request for denial or leave on agenda.

 

2014-192 (rezoning 8101 Southside Blvd): Mr. Harden explained that there is a 6th amendment of the written description which does not alter the site plan. CM Boyer requested that document be distributed to staff prior to committee meeting for review and approval.

 

Today’s workshop will address staff’s response to microbreweries, distilleries and other small production businesses; and rooming houses definition and enforcement of the Code’s stipulations. Workshop begins at 4:30p.m.

 

There being no further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 1:10 p.m.
