Chairman Becton called the meeting
to order. Mr. Lewis presented a matrix to depict the buffer standards of adjacent uncomplimentary zoning districts. The
spreadsheet includes the standards from the current Zoning Code, Industrial
Sanctuary Overlay Zone, and the Situational Compatibility Zone. The committee
was asked to review the information and submit
proposed changes. The numbers in the matrix represent the width of the buffer
requirement.
Chairman Becton redistributed a
handout from April 18, 2017, meeting. The document is a listing of the
Planning and Development Department’s various application processes, the entity
responsible for the hearing, and the entity responsible for appeals. Per Mr. Huxford, item #1 needs to reflect
that modifications (PUD) are decided by the Planning & Development
Department (PDD) Director and appealed to the Planning Commission.
CM Gaffney reiterated his concern
about the proliferation of liquor stores in District 7. He requested
information regarding steps to address the issue and clarification on the
application for exception process for liquor
stores being heard by the Planning Commission instead of LUZ. CM Morgan commented that District 1 is
considering adopting an overlay in the Arlington CRA. She requested assistance
from PDD and Ms. Grandin to discuss options. Mr. Huxford is currently preparing
a report for CM R. Brown about liquor stores.
The PDD recently received a database from the state with a listing of
all liquor stores within Duval County. The data will be plotted on a map to determine exact locations and
determine areas of concerns. Mr. Huxford will provide the committee with a copy
of the final report to assist with additional dialogue
about a resolution.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.
