The applicant, Mr. Lyman A Phillips of Continental Central Florida, was present. Mr. Phillips informed the board that they Planning and Zoning Commission November 1, 1973 Page 2 propose a modern food distributing warehouse for this location. The requested zoning would be the same as that of the abutting property and the same as the county zoning. No one appeared in opposition to the rezoning. After consideration, Mr. Karns made a motion to recommend to the City Commission that the above described 5.569 acres be rezoned from SR -IAA, Single- Family Residential District, to that of RI -1, Restricted Industrial District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Gischler and was carried. A public heaking was next held to consider a request to rezone a portion of Unit 2 within the Hidden Lake Planned Unit Development from zoning for single family homes to that for patio homes. The Chairman announced that he would hear first from anyone in favor of the rezoning. Mr. Jesse Graham and Mr. Bill Johnson, repre- senting Hidden Lake Development Corporation, were present to speak in favor of the rezoning. Mr. Graham told the board that, in order to leave the forest in its natural state within this portion of the section, they desire to build patio homes rather than single family homes. There would be an increase in density of 76 in this section; but, the overall density of the PUD would not be increased. Mr. Graham said that the 76 units could be absorbed in many areas; and, an agreement for a density shift, subject to the City Attorney's approval, would be binding. No one was present to speak in opposition to the rezoning. After a discussion of how the City could be assured that the overall density of Hidden Lake PUD would not be increased by the requested change of zoning in Unit 2, Mr. Harris relinquished the Chair temporarily in order to make the following motion. Mr. Harris moved to recommend to the City Commission the re- zoning from single family to patio homes for part of Unit 2 of Hidden Lake PUD, with the stipulation that the City of Sanford and the Company enter an agreement, if the City Attorney feels it is legal and binding on this and future property owners, that they will reduce other area's density to make up for an increase in density in this area. If this is not considered legal by the City Attorney, then before they rezone this area, they consider and lower the density in other areas within this PUD to make up for the increase in this area. The motion was seconded by Mr. Black - sheare and was carried.

Mr. George was informed that this would be a permitted use in GC -2 District. After discussion, it was determined that 60 off- street parking spaces would be required at this site, and Mr. George was advised that a site development plan should be submitted for approval.
