After consideration and discussion, Mr. Blacksheare made a motion
to recommend to the City Commission that the zoning of Lots 1
through 87 and 92 through 105, inclusive, of Oak Hill Addition,
not be changed. The motion was seconded by Mr. Berrien and
carried by a unanimous vote.
Mr. Everett Harper next presented a site plan for a Pizza Hut resta-
rant, proposed location at the southwest corner of French Avenue -and
20th Street in RC -1, Restricted Commercial District. Mr. Don Royer,
owner of the property was also present. After consideration of the
curb cut for a driveway on French Avenue, Mr. Harper agreed to re-
work the site plan, changing the entrance and exit. After con-
sideration that the area was not zoned properly for a restaurant,
Mr. Royer agreed to make application for the rezoning of the two
lots involved and the adjacent lot to the south to GC -2, General
Commercial District, and the date of October 18, 1973, was set for
a public hearing.
A revised site plan for a commercial building for the Cut Rate Beer
lounge at the location of the southwest corner of Mangoustine Ave-
nue and 13th Street, which showed provision for eight off- street
parking spaces on Lot 16 of South Sanford, on the south side of 13th
Street, was next considered. These eight parking spaces in addition
to the on -site spaces fulfilled the requirements of the zoning ordi-
nance for off - street parking. On the motion of Mr. Logan, seconded
by Mr. Davis and carried, the site plan was approved with the stipu-
lation that before a building permit is issued, a letter from Mrs.
Sherman, the owner, be on file. This letter is to state that she
understands and agrees to either close her business, or change to
one that will meet the requirements, or find other approved parking,
if Lot 16 becomes unanvailable to her business.
Mr. Quintus Ray next appeared before the board for an interpretation
of the zoning ordinance for uses permitted in RMOI Districts. Mr.
Ray desires to sell property located on West First Street in RMOI
District. He has had prospects of selling either for a day care
center, or a motel. The consensus of the board was that neither
of these uses would be permitted uses in RMOI.
Consideration was next given to a request from the City Commission
regarding requirements for a PUD of 20 acres, or a mini -PUD. The
consensus of the board was that the same guidelines for PUD zoning
should be used. After discussion, the Planning Consultant was
requested to submit his recommendation for additions to the PUD
zoning requirements to be discussed at the next meeting. The Chair-
man requested that the City Commission be asked for specific items
for recommendations for a mini -PUD.
