Jeff Curl- On the density/open space for affordability. Has anyone ever thought about the
parking lots and 10 contiguous spaces in the code to allow more parking and less landscape
islands? If you increase density, you need more parking, we need to look at densifying the
parking lots as well.
Eric Johnson- With the increase in the number of units you will have an increase in parking
spaces, so in case of that offer a less demanding landscape requirement associated with the
number of parking spaces.
Robert Mulhere- One way to achieve that is to specify that you could increase the number
of spaces in a row without providing the landscape island, provided the same amount of
landscape area is provided elsewhere within the site.
Jeff Curl- Page 36- Ground cover. I don’t understand why we need this.
Jaime Cook- In Type D buffer along the roadway. Almost everyone plants sod, this requires
you to plant something.
Robert Mulhere- On page 36, the last sentence in item C states, shall be a minimum width
of 3 feet and a maximum width of 5 ft and achieve 100% opacity, that can’t achieve opacity,
so that last sentence wouldn’t apply to ground cover. Ground cover and opacity can’t be
related.
Jaime Cook- I have no issue with the removal of it.
Clay Brooker- On page 4- Section 2I, a, this applies to legal non-conforming lots or parcels
of less than 5 acres, this section applies to conforming lots?
Robert Mulhere- Yes, this is the TDR bonus credits and how you get them.
Clay Brooker- On Page 5 it states, In the case of legal non-conforming lots or parcels less
than 5 acres, now all the standards apply. On page 4a apply only to conforming to any size?
I don’t know why we are drawing a distinction.
Eric Johnson- There is an issue that was discovered that required us to address legal non-
conforming lots of less than 5 acres. The first section on page 4 would apply to everything
else.
Clay Brooker- Page 6, lines 8-11, This bonus TDR credit will only be applicable within 2
years of the effective date of adoption which is 5/23/2023, we are past that date.
Robert Mulhere- We put a date there because we wanted to incentivize people to move
forward with providing the easement we wanted them to go forward in the 2-year period.
Eric Johnson- We can strike this line out and reinsert it once we decide to change the GMP,
or we keep it in and ask Mike to move forward with a GMP amendment.
Jaime Cook- Line 30 has the same date.
Clay Brooker- If the GMP states this how do it, we can’t state anything different. We can’t
do anything inconsistent with the GMP amendment.
Mike Bosi- In the staff report we will ask the Board of County Commissioners to direct staff
to modify the GMP to provide further opportunity and recommend no end date to it.
Clay Brooker- Page 23, lines 36-39, states, any use not listed in table uses is prohibited
unless the county manager/designee determines that it falls within the same class. What does
that mean?
Jeff Curl- Wouldn’t it be better to say as outlined in section 106011 to reference the
comparable use determination?
Robert Mulhere- Should say, “Any use not listed in the Table of Uses is prohibited unless
the County Manager designee determines that such use is comparable with other uses listed
4
in the table of uses, through the process as determined through the “Comparable Use
Determination process.”
Eric Johnson- If we cite the Comparable Use Determination, that would require a Hex.
Mike Bosi- I am much more comfortable with the comparable use process. It used to be staff
that could make the determination but not any longer. That would be the more appropriate
way.
Robert Mulhere- I would rewrite this that any use that can be deemed comparable needs to
go through the comparable use process.
Eric Johnson- We will proceed in that manner.
Eric Johnson- Page 37, This is where Bob asked for relief for landscape island parking.
Robert Mulhere- Only for affordable housing projects, Mixed use and Non-Mixed use,
allow for up to 15 parking spaces instead of 10 before a landscape island.
Eric Johnson- The current requirement is 10 spaces; you want to increase it to 15, correct.
Robert Mulhere- Except, that they would provide that additional landscape area elsewhere
in the project.
Clay Brooker- Page 34, Line 13, 100-foot-wide setback adjacent to a conservation area. In
another area I saw 150 ft. Is that appropriate/inappropriate?
Michelle Mosca- I have a note that RLSA requires 300 ft?
Robert Mulhere- The problem is the term Conservation. It shouldn’t apply to an internal
preserve for which you may be placing a conservation easement over, but if your building is
adjacent to the Picayune Strand then ok. I understand having an enhanced setback, but 100 ft
is a lot, and this is affordable housing.
Mike Bosi- That is quite a demand on housing that is affordable, it drives up the price of land
because you have to part with so much acreage.
Robert Mulhere- We need to say, “external boundaries.”
Jaime Cook- I would agree with that.
Robert Mulhere- It would need to say, “an external boundary adjacent to public
conservation area.”
Clay Brooker- You know our thoughts on it, come up with a recommendation and bring it
back to the next DSAC meeting. Page 39, Line 39, same concern. States 150 feet here.
Clay Brooker- Page 52, Lines 45-49, An additional density bonus of 1 unit for each 1 unit
that is provided for low-income residents as identified in the affordable housing section. Is
Low income defined, is it different than housing that is affordable.
Michelle Mosca- Is that in the table in 2.06.03, the category low income. That language is in
the Future Land Use Element. It was a 1 for 1, it was to encourage additional housing.
Clay Brooker- I would ask staff to look at “low-income residents” to make sure it is a
correct characterization in the affordable housing section of the code.
Eric Johnson- We have it defined in our definition section. With Robert leaving we are
losing the quorum to vote on this. Can we vote to bring this back to the next meeting?
Clay Brooker- We don’t need to bring it back; we can just continue it to the next meeting on
December 16th.
