recognizes that primarily industrial, wholesale distribution and
aviation activities are existing and anticipated.
5. Recommend denial of requested GC -2 zoning based on general
incompatibility of retail sales and services uses permitted in
GC -2, General Commercial zoning with adjacent industrial and
residential zoning and existing character of immediate area at
the present time.
Mr. Walter King, 405 E. 14th Street, stated that he has had a
number of requests to sell this property contingent upon a zoning
change. Approximately one year ago, Mr. King asked that this
property be rezoned for light industry. The Planning and Zoning
Board said "absolutely not ". Mr. King has two or three prospects
that would like to develop now but need the rezoning. Mr. King
stated that this needs to be developed as commercial property. He
would like to get something done on this property, but a change in
zoning is needed to get decent development on this corner.
Mr. King stated that this is a main intersection across the street
from the entranceway of the Airport. One party has asked to have
mini - storage warehouses developed here. Also, he has been
approached with one or two other options. Mr. King stated that he
has not been approached by anyone interested in developing multi-
family.
Mr. Dennison asked what other uses had Mr. King been approached on.
Mr. King stated that he did not remember them all. One fellow
wanted to run a swimming pool business, the mini- storage fellow,
and some other fellow interested but could not remember what
business.
In opposition was Mr. Anthony Russi, 3355 S. Mellonville. He
stated that he was speaking for a number of people who live in the
area. Mr. Russi stated that there is industrial property on the
Airport and on Cornwall Road. Everything between Airport Blvd. on
the east and west side is residential. The area residents have
invested a tremendous amount of money building residences. The
residents realized that there was an industrial park located at the
southwest intersection of Cornwall and Mellonville, which they
understood and accepted, but the residents are opposed to any
further encroachment of industrial zoning along Mellonville, south
of Airport and south of Cornwall. Mr. Russi stated that the feels
this piece of property could be zoned multi - family and the area
residents would accept this. They are opposed to any commercial
zoning.

Mr. Billy Brumley, 3371 Whitner Way, neighbor of Mr. Russi, stated
that he is opposed to the rezoning as requested.
Mr. Jerry Holloway, 3311 Scarlet Drive, president of the Homeowners
Association, stated that he was representing 18 homeowners, all
within less than 1/4 of a mile from this property. Mr. Holloway
suggested that they wait until they have something definite that
would like to go in there. He stated that rezoning without knowing
what will be developed here may be a detriment. He is strongly
opposed.
Mr. Keith moved to deny the rezoning request. Seconded by Mr.
Dyal. All in favor. Motion carried.
The next item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider the
request to rezone from SR -1, Single Family Residential, to that of
PD, Planned Development, that property lying north of CR 46 -A, west
of Upsala Road and east of Oregon Avenue.
Owner: South Seminole, Ltd.; representative: Michael D. Wadley.
Mr. Marder read Staff's recommendations:
1. Site is zoned SR -1, Single Family Residential, and PD, Planned
Development, contains approximately 157 acres and is basically
vacant at the present time.
2. Existing Master Plan reflects a total of 718 dwelling units,
with 118 units in the westerly SR -1, Single Family Residential
zone fronting Oregon Avenue and 600 dwellings in the easterly
PD, Planned Development zone fronting Upsala Road. An
approved subdivision plat for the area zoned SR -1 had not been
recorded at this date. Additional conditions and stipulations
on the PD area state that development within 120' of Upsala
Road be restricted to open space or uses permitted in the SR-
lAA, Single Family Residential Zoning District and that the
remainder of the area within approximately 635 feet of Upsala
Road be restricted to single family detached dwelling units.
overall gross density is 4.57 dwelling units per acre. Net
density in the PD area is 8 dwelling units per acre.
3. Proposed Master Plan reflects a proposed gross density of 5.35
dwelling units per acre based on 840 proposed dwelling units
and 157 total acres. Based on net residential land area of
105 acres, overall net density is calculated to be 8 dwelling
units per acre. General Notes Number 9 proposes that the
maximum net density per "neighborhood" or phase be 18 dwelling
units per acre.

4. Site is adjacent to existing MR--1, Multiple Family
Residential, which includes various one and multiple family
dwellings (Mayfair Meadows) and vacant land. MR -1 zoning
permits a gross density of up to 8 dwelling units per acre.
Site is also adjacent to SR -1, SR -1AA and MR -2 zones which
contain various one family dwellings. A convenience store
with gas pumps is located in an existing RC -1, Restricted
Commercial zone adjacent to the Site's southeast corner.
5. The City's Planned Development Project regulations are
designed to promote more efficient and compact land
development while maximizing open space and related amenities.
Therefore, while the uses and building types are intended to
be flexible, greater buffers and building setbacks around the
boundary of Planned Development projects are required in
comparison to conventional zoning districts. Specifically,
the minimum building setback from Upsala Road and Oregon
Avenue would be 50 feet and 35 feet from all other parcel
lines. In addition, the minimum depth of the required buffer
from all parcel lines is 25 feet.
6. The City's Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan
designated the site and vicinity south of the abandoned
railroad /expressway right -of -way as a Neighborhood Area
suitable for low and medium density residential development.
Medium density is generally defined as between 7 and 15
dwelling units per acre. High density residential development
of 16 to 40 dwelling units per acre are generally intended to
be located in designated Commerce Areas.
7. Based on similarity with existing residential uses and related
densities already established in the immediate area, recommend
that the request to rezone from SR -1 and PD to PD, Planned
Development, be approved with the following conditions and
stipulations:
a. The development shall be divided into two phases, a West
Phase and an East Phase, divided by the undevelopable
wetlands /open space area dividing each side. Each phase
shall be limited to a maximum net density of 8 dwelling
units per acre. No increment of development shall have
a net density of greater than 15 dwelling units per acre.
b. Based on the City's policy to maintain single family
dwellings adjacent to Upsala Road, development within 600
feet of Upsala Road shall be restricted to be detached
single family residential land use.

C. Prior to the issuance of a site development permit for
any and all phases of increments of development, the
developer shall mitigate all off -site transportation
impacts of the proposed development in a manner
acceptable to the City pursuant to information and
analysis prepared by the developer at the developer's
expense.
Mr. Russell Sepielli, 4020 New Cannon Street, Hollywood, stated
that he had reviewed Staff's recommendations and would like to
revise the request by reducing the request to 15 residential
dwelling units per acre. The request does not vary at all from the
original request that was granted back in February of 1989. Three
stipulations were imposed upon the PD side; 1) overall density
cannot exceed 8 units per acre, 2) brick or solid masonry wall to
be built on Upsala Road, 3) easterly section be built as single
family homes comparable to SRI -AA. Mr. Sepielli stated that 600
feet along Upsala Road will be built as single family homes. The
brick wall will be along the entire 1200 feet frontage.
Mr. Sepielli stated that they had previously agreed to build a
block or solid masonry wall, but that they would prefer to do a
block wall depending on financing.
Mr. Sepielli said along Upsala Road there will be about 3 units per
acre. $135,000 to $180,000 homes. There will be no driveways
along Upsala Road. The first 600 feet from the parcel line of
Upsala Road will consist only of single family detached homes.
Internal roads and lots have not been laid out as of yet. Mr.
Sepielli stated that they propose to handle traf f is by acceleration
and deceleration lanes along Upsala Road on the west side.
Preliminary planning shows (for some time in the future) another
right turn -in and right turn -out by the convenience store to get
into the subdivision. Also, future studies show some type of
signalization at Oregon Avenue and Upsala Road.
Mr. Sepielli stated that it has taken nine months to get a
representative from Corp of Engineer to come and review site. It
took another two months to get a report. Eleven months, total, to
get a permit. Mr. Sepielli said that there is now a credit crunch
going on but to bring in a lower cost product is out of the
question. The sewer line will be put in at the developer's expense
and a tap will be made into the existing water line. They would
like to maintain continuity throughout the design of the
development.
At this time, surrounding homeowners requested that 'they be
notified of site plan review.
