this Commission because there are no real project improvements, no

Redevelopment Plain.
Kevin Fall, Seminole Counter, Capital Programs Analyst, stated that
the County is pursuing the adoption of a redevelopment plan. The
Redevelopment plan has been finalized. Each Local Planning Agency
of each municipality that the CRA would effect, has to review the
plan and recommend to the CRA and City Council that it is in
conformance with the cities comp plans. This has been scheduled on
the City Commission agenda on Monday night. The Board of County
Commissioners, acting as the CRA, will hear this Tuesday night at
7:00 P.M. at the County Services Building. The final Public
Hearing will be on December 16, at 1:30 at the County Services
Building. Concurrence has been obtained from the City of winter
Springs, and the City of Longwood. This program has been fast
tracked because the intent is to pass the ordinance, which
establishes the Redevelopment Plan and the Redevelopment Trust Plan
Ordinance, prior to the end of 1997 which would freeze the base
year tax level the 1997 level.
Mr. Fall stated that the City benefits from this program because
there are various public investment projects that can be dome,
streetscape, infrastructure, traffic circulation, parks, and
sidewalks. This is basically an economic development program.
More than anything it will work to help the existing business
owners and potential property developers. He stated that the
charge here is just comp plan consistency.
Mr. Marder explained that the 17 -92 Redevelopment Plan is
consistent with the City's Comp Plan. Basically, it is a
redevelopment plan for 17 -92. There are words and policies in our
plan that supports redevelopment of 17 -92.

Mr. Skat moved to table with Staff to provide a plan and a
recommendation. Mr. Skat withdrew his motion.
The Commission generally felt that it did not have enough
information to make a recommendation to the City Commission on this
plan. The members requested a copy of the plan with Staff's
recommendations showing items that are not consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Stogner moved to table to the next meeting. Seconded by Mr.
Hattaway. Mr. Robert and Mr. Valerino in opposition. Motion
carried.
Mr. Skat stated that he had a situation come up with the Chairwoman
regarding comments that he made to some people that were here as
they relate to another commissioner. He stated that it seems the
Chairwoman had a desire to drive a bit of a barrier between hint and
one of the other Commission. members. He personally, feel that this
was in very poor taste and he thinks this Hoard has been overly
tolerant of the Chairwoman actions and her habits as to the way the
Commission is treated as a Hoard. He would like to see, at the
next meeting, a review of the Chair and Nice Chair. He thinks it
is time that the Commission does this.. He would like to see at the
next meeting the appointment of a new Chair and Vice Chair. His
recommendation would be that Jim Valerino, steps in as Chair. He
stated that his patience has worn very thin.
The Meeting.Schedule for 1998 was discussed and after a change in
the July meeting dates, it was approved.
Mr. Robert moved to approve the minutes as circulated. seconded by
Mr. Robert. All in favor. Motion carried.

CITY OF SANFORDIPHILIP J. NESS, TRUSTEE - Request to rezone from RC -1,
Restricted Commercial to GC -2, General Commercial for property located on the north
side of West 25th Street between Hardy Avenue and the vacated Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad.
1. The site includes vacant acreage located on the north side of West 25th Street
between Hardy Avenue and the vacated Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
2. Staff has verified that this site was rezoned to GC -2, General Commercial prior
to 1988. The Zoning District Map was never modified to reflect the GC -2 Zoning.
Therefore, the new Zoning District Map adopted in 1988, and subsequently
revised in 1992, never reflected the rezoning. The owner brought the status of
the property to the City's attention. Because the Zoning Ordinance has changed
the mistake cannot be corrected as a scriveners error. The City Commission,
pursuant to procedures set forth in the LDR, adopted a resolution to rezone the
property from RC -1 to GC -2. A copy of correspondence to City Commission,
Resolution 1766 and Ordinance No. 1436 are attached.
3. The Future Land Use Plan Map reflects a Commercial land use designation for
the site in question.
4. The site is adjacent to industrial uses, cemeteries and several residential uses.
5. Recommend approval of the rezoning from RC -1 to GC -2 based on the previous
action of the City Commission to do so as well as consistency of the proposed
change with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.

automobile sales, storage and display for property located on the west side of South
Orlando Drive, north of Lake Mary Boulevard.
