REPORTS FROM STAFF:
Mr. Marder stated that the preliminary housing and population
counts provided by the Census tells us a lot about the way the City
has been growing over the past 10 years. The counts give a clear
picture of the housing and distribution within the various census

tracts in the City. The downtown census tract grew by about 345
dwelling units. Most of it is in one particular project,
Sa'lpointe.
Dark shades on the map defines the distribution in the City. The
darker shades are in the more central part of the City. On the
1990 housing map, the darker areas are more westerly. Between 1989
and 1990 the change in housing within the census tracts in the
Ci y, shows more development in the southwesterly portion of the
Ci y. The westerly portion of the City has dark areas along the
La e. The central neighborhoods did not grow very much with the
Census showing that the City lost 111 dwelling units. The legend
divides up the census tracts, taking the high number and low number
and creating 9 equal categories in between.
Our building permits residential construction activity sheet shows
that 5624 dwelling units were permitted during 1980 and 1990, a 10
year period. When added to the 1989 census we have over 14,000
dwelling units. The census only counted 13,787. The City issues
building permits. This is also what we show to the Census.
Mr. Marder stated that when the University of Florida does
guesstimates, they look at the closest known relationship between
housing units and population. This use to be, or actually still
is, 1980. 1980 is used for all population and housing units and
factor in all electric meters in the City. Probably, an accurate
number is the electric meters.
The University of Florida just barely made it up to 30,000 for
Florida's population. The Census stated 32,232. Ivey, Bennett,
Harris & Walls estimates for 1990 was close to within 107 people of
the census number.
Mr. Marder stated that regarding the status of the Comp Plan, Solin
Associates have been retained to do the revisions for the
Population, the Public Facilities and the Land Use elements.
He stated that he is looking at proposals for having the Transpor-
tation Element revised.
Mr. Marder stated that he had talked with Steve Cook, Airport
Director. Mr. Cook said he has received a grant to build a road
for a future gateway to the terminals. They discussed the land use
around the Airport and how the Airport wants to develop it in
relation to the master plan.
The applicants for Item 2, a conditional use for an accessory
residential structure, were now present.
