IF YOU ARE TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING COMING UP ON THE AGENDA WE WILL GET TO IT . >> SUZANNE, 109 LAURELWOOD WAY. I WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE -- HOUSING PROPOSALS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ST. JOHNS COUNTY HAS A CRITICAL SCARCITY OF OBTAINABLE HOUSEHOLDS EARNING BELOW THE -- INCOME 191 HOMES PRICED BELOW THE 267,000 WAS RECENTLY TURNED DOWN DESPITE MANY PUBLIC BENEFITS CONTAINED WITHIN THE ROAD AND SCHOOL CAPACITY. I'VE IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY OVER 25 YEARS . THE STATE, NOT THE COUNTY HOLDS THE REINS FOR MOST OF THESE PROJECTS. IF THE PLAN IS TO DENY ALL PROJECTS FOR ALL INCOME LEVELS BELOW THE MEDIAN. BY CREATING HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AREAS ALONG WITH GIVING INCENTIVES TO INCLUDE WORKFORCE HOUSING WITHIN THE PROJECT PLANS, THAT IS THE ONLY PATH FORWARD TO BUILD HOUSING TARGETED FOR THIS LEVEL AND THEN COME. OTHERWISE THEY ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING THE LUXURY APARTMENTS AND HIGH AND SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. AND, [00:05:02] HIGH EARNING HOUSEHOLDS WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THOSE HOUSES. UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT AN INCREASE IN OBTAINABLE HOUSING SUPPLY, SCARCITY OF AVAILABLE HOUSING IS JUST GOING TO FORCE THE LOW EARNERS TO EITHER LEAVE THE COUNTY OR FIND A WAY TO CONTINUE COMMUTING WHICH IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THEM. THIS IS GOING TO CRUSH OUR MOST IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DRIVER, THE TOURIST INDUSTRY, AND LIKELY FORCE AN INCREASE IN PUBLIC SERVICES PERSONNEL. BUDGETS TO INCREASE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO INCREASE WAGES. ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, I AM ASKING YOU ALL TO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ATTEND THE NEXT OPEN HOUSE AND ADVOCATE ABOUT OBTAINABLE HOUSING FOR EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. >> ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? >> SABRINA, 32095. I AM HERE REPRESENTING MY COMMUNITY. WE WANT TO EXPRESS OUR STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH-- IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY, FLORIDA. IT COMPRISES 800 UNITS AND IS FAMILY TO YOUNG CHILDREN. WE HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS. THE PROXIMITY OF THE PROPOSED HOSPITAL TO OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA RAISES SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS. CHILDREN ARE OUTSIDE AND USING LOCAL AMENITIES AND THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACILITY SO CLOSE TO OUR HOME ARE NOT CONDUCIVE TO A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT. SECOND, THE LOCATION IS VERY CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL BUS STOP WHICH IS USED BY MANY CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY . IT WILL INCREASE TRAFFIC AND THE PRESENCE CAN CREATE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR CHILDREN WHO WALK FROM THE BUS STOP. ADDITIONALLY THE INCREASED TRAFFIC CAN DISRUPT THE PEOPLE NATURE OF OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE COMMUNITY IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL BURDEN LEADING TO POTENTIAL CONGESTION AND SAFETY ISSUES. LESLIE THERE HAS BEEN A LACK OF COMMUNITY CONSULTATION REGARDING THIS PROJECT. ANY RESIDENTS FEEL LIKE THEIR CONCERNS OF NOT BEEN HEARD. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE VOICES OF COMMUNITY ARE CONSIDERED AND DIRECTLY AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING INDUSTRY BE CONSIDERED AND LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS THAT WILL BE MORE SUITABLE FOR A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOSPITAL. IT IS ESSENTIAL WE FIND A SOLUTION THAT ENJOYS THE SAFETY OF ALL RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY WITH CHILDREN. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE AND WILL TAKE YOUR CONCERNS INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. >> JACOB, IS THAT COMING UP TO US? >> FOR THE RECORD, JACOB SMITH, [1. ZVAR 2024-14: 4060 Coastal Highway. Request for a Zoning Variance to Section 6.01.03.E.4 of the Land Development Code to allow for a Second Front Yard setback of 10 feet 7 inches in lieu of the required 20 feet for a Corner Through Lot located adjacent to an unopened right-of-way, in order to accommodate an addition to the existing home located in Residential, Single Family (RS-3) zoning, specifically located at 4060 Coastal Highway. ] GROWTH MANAGEMENT. I BELIEVE THE HOSPITAL THAT THE WOMAN WAS TALKING ABOUT IS A PROJECT THAT'S PART OF A PUD THAT WAS APPROVED APPROXIMATELY TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO AND IT IS COMING THROUGH IN CONSTRUCTION PHASE . >> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NONE WE WILL START WITH NUMBER ONE. MISTER LANNI? >> I DID HAVE A DISCLOSURE. I DID A SITE VISIT. THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE? >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. MY NAME IS BILL LANNI. THIS IS KATHY ROONEY. WE ARE HERE TO PREVENT -- PRESENT A CASE AND WE ARE GOING TO ADD TO HER HOUSE ON THE NORTH SIDE SO SHE CAN BECOME A FULL-TIME RESIDENT HERE. NOT SURE IF YOU'VE RECEIVED ALL THE DOCUMENTS OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS . >> ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IS AT THE END OF YOUR PRESENTATION? YOU ARE ASKING FOR A SECOND FRONT YARD FROM 7 " AND IN LIEU OF THE 20 BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CORNER LOT? >> DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> WILL YOU KIND OF ANSWERED MY QUESTION WHEN HE SAID HE WANT THIS TO BE A FOREVER HOME. I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE AND WHEN YOU PURCHASED IT AND WHAT YOU HAVE USED IT FOR. AND IF IT'S GOING TO BE FOR RENTALS SO YOU CAN RENT OR IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO LIVE HERE. I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHY. I DID DRIVE OUT THERE. IT'S A NICE HOUSE, UP HIGH AND I LIKE THE [00:10:03] PLAN. IT LOOKS PRETTY HIGH. >> THANK YOU, EVERYONE. I PURCHASED THE HOUSE IN JULY 2020 WITH THE HELP OF LANNI CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE THE HOUSE HAD BEEN DETERIORATED FROM THE PRIOR SELLER. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE HOUSE, MY KID, MY DAUGHTERS LOVE IT . I DO WANT TO MOVE HERE PERMANENTLY BUT THE WAY THE HOUSE WAS BUILT, BASICALLY THE SIZE. IT REALLY IS ONLY FOR LIKE A WEEK LONG STAY AND WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING I WOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE ON A FULL-TIME BASIS WHICH IS WHY I NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADD ON TO NOT JUST HAVE CLOSET SPACE BUT THE BALCONY IS INCREDIBLY SMALL AND DOES NOT HAVE A BATHTUB. I HOPE TO BE A GRANDMOTHER IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND OBVIOUSLY I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO. RIGHT NOW WITH THE WAY THE HOUSE IS, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO PUT A BATHTUB IN AND THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BECAUSE I AM ON THE OCEAN IS TO HAVE A PARK SO IT IF THERE'S A TROPICAL STORM, WE HAVE A LOT OF CRAZY WEATHER HERE IN FLORIDA. SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS TO PUT DOWN ON A PERMANENT BASIS. MY INTENTION IS TO MOVE INTO THE HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH IT. IT'S BEEN MY DREAM SINCE I WAS A CHILD TO LIVE ON THE OCEAN AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY , ACTUALLY ABLE TO OBTAIN THIS HOUSE SO TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A VARIANCE THAT WOULD ALL COME TO FRUITION. MOVE HERE AND WAKE UP TO THAT BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE ON A DAILY BASIS >> THE HARDSHIP IS THAT YOU HAVE THREE FRONT YARDS SO THE SETBACKS ARE 20', 20', 20' AND YOU CANNOT EXTEND INTO THAT WITHOUT GETTING VARIANCES. IS THAT CORRECT? >> I THINK THE PROBLEM ACROSS THE STREET, I WAS CAN TURN THAT IF THAT WAS A RESIDENTIAL LOT IT WOULD BE HINDERING THE VIEW IF YOUR HOUSE EXTENDED FURTHER OUT THAN IT ALLOWED BUT I DID LOOK AND IT IS A COMMERCIALLY ZONED SITE SO MAYBE I DON'T HAVE SO MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> IS THERE ANYONE ON THE AUDIENCE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER ONE? WE ARE BACK INTO AGENCY FOR A MOTION. PETER? >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO [Items 2 & 3] APPROVE ZONING VARIANCE 2024 - 14. 4060 CRYSTAL -- COASTAL HIGHWAY BASED ON THE CONDITIONS AS WERE PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND BY DOCTOR HILSENBECK. LET'S REGISTER TO VOTE. THAT MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE YOUR VARIANCE. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND DURATION. >> ITEM NUMBER TWO. ACTUALLY WE ARE GOING TO TAKE UP TWO AND THREE AT THE SAME TIME. IS THERE ANY X PARTAKE? >> I DID A SITE VISIT TWICE BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND IT THE FIRST TIME. >> ANYONE ELSE? >> MY NAME IS JIM ASSELTA AND THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO 1105 W 15TH STREET. I HAVE A POWERPOINT HERE THAT WILL DESCRIBE WHAT'S GOING ON. EARLY THERE IS A HOUSE THAT WHEN THEY PUT THE MOBILE HOME ON THIS PROPERTY, OVER HALF OF IT IS IN THE ALLEY WELL OF A STREET THAT HAS NOT BEEN OPENED SO IT'S NOT ON MY PROPERTY. AND IT'S AN OLD MOBILE HOME. I'VE REMODELED IT TWICE AND I'M TIRED OF REMODELING. I LIKE TO UPGRADE AND PUT A NEW ONE. I WISH I COULD PUT A THREE BEDROOM BUT I CAN'T, SO I CAN ONLY PUT A ONE BEDROOM BASED ON SIZE AND WE ARE ASKING FOR AN EXCEPTION. FOR THE FRONT SETBACK I SUPPOSE, IN BLUE. NOW THERE'S A MOBILE HOME ON HOLMES BOULEVARD IN FRONT OF ME, ANOTHER SINGLE WIDE. DOWN BELOW MINE THERE IS A MOBILE HOME. BOTH ARE VERY OLD AND MINE WOULD BE THE ONLY NEW ONE. IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT , THE ROAD IS COMING DOWN ON 15TH ST. AND IT GOES RIGHT INTO MY PROPERTY SO I WOULD BE PULLING IN OFF THE ROAD AND GOING LEFT INTO MY LOT AND AS YOU SEE , RIGHT ON 15TH ST. BEFORE MINE , THE BLUE ONE IS RIGHT ON THE BOULEVARD AND I HAVE THAT ONE TO THE LEFT. IT WOULD NOT BE COMING THAT FAR FORWARD. THAT IS THE HOME RIGHT ON THE BOULEVARD THAT IS IN FRONT OF ME. AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST OF MY HOUSE IS OFF OF MY LOT. THAT'S THE HOUSE. IT'S OLD, IT HAS [00:15:06] BEEN REMODELED TWICE AND IT LOOKED NICE INSIDE EACH TIME I REMODELED IT IN THE MEANTIME IT HAS DONE TERRIBLE. ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY THE MOBILE HOME COMPANY WHEN THEY TALKED WITH ME ABOUT IT WAS, ONE OF YOUR ISSUES MIGHT BE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM FOR THE VARIANCE I COULD MOVE MY SEPTIC. THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS SET UP RIGHT-- LET'S SEE IF I CAN BASH OKAY. MY SEPTIC IS IN A PLACE WHERE IF I MOVE IT ANYWHERE ELSE, IT WON'T BE COMPLIANT FOR NEIGHBORS. SO I HAVE TO LEAVE THE SEPTIC SYSTEM WHERE IT IS AT AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A 20 FOOT EASEMENT OF THE FRONT AND A 5 FOOT EASEMENT OFF OF EACH SIDE WHICH LOOKS LIKE TOP AND BOTTOM. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP OF THAT, THAT IS 1105 W 15TH STREET AND IT STOPS AT THAT LINE. I'VE BEEN USING IT AS MY PROPERTY . THIS WAS IN THE DAYS WHEN THEY WERE HOLDING THEIR FINGER UP TO SURVEY . I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. >> IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS TWO AND THREE? >> I WASN'T GOING TO BUT THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. >> STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS . >> I AM ASSUMING, I KNOW THE AREA WELL, AND I AM ASSUMING YOU USE THIS AS A RENTAL? >> YES. >> HOW MUCH DO YOU ANTICIPATE RENTING FOR? >> PROBABLY $1000. >> SOLD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS THE KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE NEED IF WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS ONE ITEM AT A TIME. WE CANNOT LET THESE AFFORDABLE HOMES AND A LOT OF THEM WERE MOBILE HOMES GET AWAY FROM US WHEN THEIR USEFUL LIFE IS DONE. WE HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO HELP LANDLORDS LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN WHO IS WILLING TO RENT AT, THAT IS A REASONABLE RATE TO HAVE THAT IN OUR INVENTORY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I HOPE YOU APPROVE IT. >> ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS TWO AND THREE? WE ARE BACK TO AGENCY FOR A MOTION. >> ONE AT A TIME? >> MOTION TO APPROVE ZONING VARIANCE 2024 - 09, ASSELTA MOBILE HOME BASED ON SIX CONDITIONS AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. >> MOTION FOR APPROVAL. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND BY MISS SPIEGEL. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES. ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE . CAN I GET A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE SPECIAL USE 2024 - 03 , ASSELTA MOBILE [4. MINMOD 2024-13 Moser Pool (360 Conquistador Rd). Request for a Minor Modification to The Preserve at St. Johns PUD (ORD. 2015-41, as amended) to allow for a maximum Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR) of 62.7% in lieu of the required 50% maximum to allow for the construction of a swimming pool, specifically located at 360 Conquistador Rd. ] HOME AT 1105 W 15TH STREET . BASED UPON 10 CONDITIONS AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. >> IS THERE A SECOND? ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE LET'S REGISTER THE VOTE. THAT MOTION PASSES AS WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ON TO ITEM 4. IS THERE ANY EX PARTE? >> YES, I HAD A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS AND DID A SITE VISIT TODAY. >> HOW'S IT GOING? I AM PAUL WITH EPIC POOLS. WE ARE LOOKING TO DO A SMALL POOL FOR HER HOUSE IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY. 360 CONQUISTADOR RD.. YOU'VE PROBABLY ALL SEEN THE INFORMATION BUT I WILL RUN THROUGH THIS SLIDE AND GET TO THE BULLET POINTS. AERIAL MAP, FUTURE LAND USE MAP, ZONING MAP. AGAIN YOU PROBABLY SAW MOST OF THIS BUT THE PROPOSED POOL AND POOL DECK AREA WOULD BE SMALL AND LOW, JUST KIND OF IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE HOUSE. WILL BE 11 X 18' MEANING THAT THE SETBACK OFF OF [00:20:01] THAT HOUSE OF 5' AND SOME WALKAROUND SPACE ON THE TWO SIDES CONNECTING THE EXISTING COVERED PATIO. THE CURRENT LOT COVERAGE , THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CO'D IF COMPLETION WAS OVER THE 50%. IT IS CURRENTLY AROUND 57% . SOME DIFFERENCES WITH THE PUD AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP . THE PUD HAS IT AT 50% BUT WITH RESIDENTIAL B AND FUTURE LAND USE, IT HAS IT AT 70. SO THE DISCREPANCY IS THERE. THE HOA ITSELF ALSO HAS 70 FOR THE ISR. WE HAVE THE PRELIMINARY HOA APPROVAL LETTER AND MANY AND MOST OF HER NEIGHBORS HAVE ALSO APPROVED AND WRITTEN AND CALLED IN AS WELL . THIS JUST GOES INTO WHAT I WAS SAYING. THE OTHER POINT TO MAKE ABOUT THIS YARD IS THE SEVERE SLOPE . IT IS ALREADY BUILT AT , BUILT UP WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO COME OUT. THERE'S ABOUT 40 " OF SLOPE FROM THE HOME TO THE 28' THAT WE WANT TO COME OFF THE HOUSE. WE ARE ON THE WATER'S EDGE AND MINDING SCREEN SETBACKS BUT AS YOU CAN SEE , IT IS PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL SO THAT IS ANOTHER BULLET POINT TO MAKE . THAT IS ABOUT IT. >> ANY QUESTIONS? MISTER SPIEGEL? >> I THINK THE IDEA WITH ISR, PERHAPS IF I AM UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, IS TO AVOID WATER PROBLEMS WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. WHEN I WAS OUT THERE, I NOTICED THAT THE BACK OF YOUR PROPERTY, YOU ARE ON A CUL-DE-SAC AND IT BUTTS UP TO THE CONSERVATION AREA . YOU DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT AREA GETTING WET AT ALL IN THE LOCATION THAT YOU ARE AT? >> WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE SLOPE I WENT OUT THERE AND FINALLY THE LITTLE BREAK IN THE RAIN THAT WE HAD IT WAS PRETTY DRY. EVERYTHING DRAINS AND THE NEIGHBOR TO THE LEFT , IT DRAINS OUT TO THAT CONSERVATION. >> WE HAD A GOALIE WASHER YESTERDAY AND IF WE HAD A PROBLEM I KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE EVIDENT. >> IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE FOR ITEM NUMBER FORMAT? WE ARE BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR A MOTION. >> MOTION TO APPROVE MINOR [5. REZ 2024-16 Auto Pros Consulting. Request to rezone approximately 0.20 acres of land from Commercial General (CG) to Commercial Intensive (CI) to allow for used Automobile Sales; specifically located on First Avenue, approximately .5 miles south of the Northeast Florida Regional Airport. ] MODIFICATION 2024 - 13, MOZER POOL. FINDINGS ARE FACT AND SUBJECT TO SEVEN CONDITIONS AS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT. >> ANY ABSTENTIONS? SEEING NONE LET'S REGISTER THE VOTE. THAT MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ENJOY YOUR POOL . >> I DID DO A SITE VISIT . >> GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WE ARE PROPOSING A RE-ZONING , AN EXTREMELY SMALL SCALE USED VEHICLE OPERATION AND A SMALL WAREHOUSE . FOUR OR FIVE CARS PARKED ON THIS. I AM A ONE MAN SHOW , CIVIL WORKER, NO EMPLOYEES . I'VE ON THE PROPERTY FOR SIX YEARS UTILIZING A SPACE FOR THAT AND NOT ASKING TO OPEN UP A BIG CAR DEALERSHIP . I SELL THREE OR FOUR CARS A MONTH. MY WIFE IS A TEACHER WITH A STEADY INCOME . THERE BEING NO SERVICE DEPARTMENT, NO DETAIL DEPARTMENT, IT IS VERY SMALL SCALE AND THERE'S ALSO A USED VEHICLE BIG CAR LOT OF THE ROAD. ANOTHER PROPERTY WITH -- WITHIN A MILE OF MY PROPERTY. THERE'S A LARGE COMMERCIAL BUILDING . A LARGE CIRCLE K RIGHT NEXT TO ME RIGHT ON MY [00:25:01] PROPERTY ORDER . I PLAN TO ALSO PLAN A GATE IN THE FRONT FOR SECLUSION AND JUST TO KEEP THE PROPERTY REALLY NICE LOOKING . THE PROPERTY IS JUST A VACANT LOT. THERE'S A BIG CIRCLE K AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBOR DIRECTLY NORTH OF ME AND TOLD HIM MY PLANS AND HE WAS ALL ABOUT IT. HE SIGNED OFF ON A THING TO ALLOW THE BUILDING TO GO ON THE PROPERTY . THERE'S A ZONING MAP. A FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND APPROXIMATELY WHAT I AM TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. KIND OF A SMALL LOT AND A VERY SMALL OPERATION. NO BIG DEAL. I REALLY WANT TO CLEAN EVERYTHING UP AND MAKE IT A NICE, CLEAN PROPERTY AND UTILIZE IT. THERE'S A TON OF OTHER USES THAT WOULD BE WAY MORE INTENSIVE, IN MY OPINION. I'VE GOT IT WRITTEN DOWN, 20 DIFFERENT THINGS TO RESEMBLE GAS STATIONS AND GOLF CLUBS AND TRADE SCHOOLS, BILLIARDS. THERE'S A CG THAT CAN BE DONE BUT I DON'T CARE TO DO ANY OF THAT . IT'S A SMALL LITTLE BUILDING AND TO ME IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR APPROVAL. ANY QUESTIONS? >> YES, SIR. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. I NOTICED THE LETTER FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET ADDRESSING THE BUFFERING AND IT REALLY DID NOT ADDRESS THE REZONING. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM SO HE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO. >> YES MA'AM. >> MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM SOME HOMES AND IT IS COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE. I KNOW THAT YOUR INTENTION IS TO DO THIS LOW BUT THINGS HAPPEN AND PEOPLE SELL PROPERTIES AND IF IT IS ZONED CI , SOMEONE ELSE COULD COME IN. I KNOW THAT IT'S A TINY LITTLE PARCEL BUT I DON'T WANT TO OKAY SOMETHING THAT WILL BE A PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE UP THE ROAD. WOULD YOU BE AMENABLE TO A CONDITION ON THE CI ZONING THAT ALLOWED ONLY THIS PARTICULAR USE? >> YES MA'AM. DEFINITELY. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM AND THIS IS SOMETHING I PLAN TO HAVE FOR 20 OR 30 YEARS. MY SON IS 14 AND I PLAN TO HAVE HIM FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS. THAT IS MY ONLY INTENTIONS TO EVER UTILIZE IT . >> IS THAT OKAY WITH MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS? THANK YOU AND I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST OF LUCK. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 5? WE WILL GO BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR A MOTION . >> RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF REZONING 2024 - 16 , AUTO PROS CONSULTING AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT WITH THE CONDITION THAT IT IS ONLY TO BE USED AS A SMALL-SCALE CAR DEALERSHIP WITH NO -- HOW DO I WORD THIS?

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EX PARTE FOR ITEM NUMBER SEVEN? >> YES, MADAM CHAIR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. KAREN TAYLOR . 77 . 77 SARAGOSSA ST. I AM HERE WITH MY CLIENT BUT HIS NAME IS NOT DISCLOSED. THAT'S PART OF THE DEAL HERE. THIS IS 4 LAKES CAMPGROUND AND I AM ASKING FOR A SMALL-SCALE [00:30:05] COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT THAT ACTUALLY HAS TWO ITEMS TO IT. IT IS TAKING IT FROM RURAL CULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL INTENSIVE AND FROM RURAL COMMERCIAL TO--. NEXT UP IS THE REZONING FROM OPEN WORLD-- OPEN WORLD TO COMMERCIAL RURAL TO MATCH RURAL COMMERCIAL. I WILL GET THOSE STRAIGHT, I HOPE, TODAY. JUST KIND OF A LITTLE AERIAL PICTURE FROM THE CAMPGROUND REITERATING THE SAME TYPES OF THINGS AND WE WILL GO OVER THEM AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY HERE IS HASTINGS AND YOU'VE GOT QUITE A WAYS ON COUNTY ROAD 13 S. COMING OUT OF HASTINGS. A LITTLE BIT CLOSER GIVES YOU THAT AND SHOWS YOU WHERE GEORGE NOLA ROAD COMES DOWN AND SHOWS YOU THE INTERSECTION A LITTLE BIT CLOSER. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE'S A LOT OF AGRICULTURAL AND A LOT OF THOSE ARE AGRICULTURAL LANDS TO THE EAST, AS WELL. YOU CAN ALSO SEE ALL OF THE HOMES IN FLAGLER ESTATES. AS A POINT TO GO ALONG WITH IT. WHY THE OTHER AREA DOES , FLAGLER ESTATES IS RESIDENTIAL AND STILL HAS THAT RS LAND USE BECAUSE THAT WAS DONE BEFORE I MOVED HERE IN 1979. IT WAS ALREADY HERE . I DON'T KNOW WHAT YEAR IT WAS DONE IN BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE LOCATION AND HOW IT RELATES TO COUNTY ROAD 13 AND FLAGLER ESTATES BOULEVARD, AS WELL. WE HAVE THE FULL PROPERTY FOR THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT IN THAT PORTION. GETTING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE EXISTING CAMP GROUND THAT IS ALREADY THERE AND WAS DONE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. AND THE BUZZ MART THAT I DID A PLAN AMENDMENT ON THAT BACK IN 2009. THIS IS THE AREA FOR THE CAMPGROUND. THAT WOULD BE PARCEL B AND B1 . THIS IS THE AI IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RS SO WE ARE NOT QUITE SURE HOW IT GOT THAT WAY. THIS IS THE BALANCE OF THE HOMESITE ON THAT WESTERN SIDE. YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING CHURCH THAT IS HERE AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A COUNTY PARK BUT IT'S UNDEVELOPED . FUTURE LAND USE . YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF AGRICULTURAL INTENSIVE THAT PARKS AND RECREATION AREA AS PART OF A PRESERVE TYPE OF THING . SOME OTHER RURAL COMMERCIAL THAT WE DID A LITTLE WHILE AGO AND EVEN SOME INDUSTRIAL UP HERE . THIS IS THE EXISTING LAND USE FOR THESE PARCELS AND YOU CAN SEE THE SAME THING . YOU HAVE RURAL COMMERCIAL ALONG THE ROADWAY AND THERE'S THE PARK AREA AND AGRICULTURAL AND THE REST IS RS. WITH THE AMENDMENT, THE CHANGE WOULD BE THE CAMPGROUND A PORTION WOULD ADD TO THE OTHER AND THIS AROUND HERE WILL BE THE LATER AGRICULTURE ZONING FLEX. A LOT OF ZONING, A LITTLE IW IN THAT INDUSTRIAL . YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE COMMERCIAL RURAL THAT EXISTS . AGAIN I HAVE GIVEN YOU WHAT IT IS TO CHANGE THESE DIFFERENT THINGS AND THEY ARE IN THE RS AND AI LAND-USE WHICH WAS THE SMALL PORTION SO THE ADJACENT RC DOES HAVE COMMERCIAL USES AND SERVES THE COMMUNITIES AND STUFF. THERE ARE ALREADY OPERATING [00:35:01] BUSINESSES AND THEY ARE NOT WITHIN A DEVELOPMENT AREA WHICH IS A CERTAIN THING WITHIN THE COMP PLAN TO JUSTIFY WHY YOU ARE DEVELOPING OUTSIDE OF THAT. BUT IT IS A COMMERCIAL NODE THAT EXISTS . NOW COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL NODE . THERE ISN'T ANY DEVELOPMENT AREAS, BASICALLY , UNLESS YOU GET UP TO HASTINGS. THIS ENTIRE AREA. THE RURAL COMMERCIAL DEFINITELY IS MEANT TO BE OUTSIDE OF THAT TYPE OF THING. THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IS ALSO APPROPRIATE AND WILL KEEP THE OR ZONING. IT IS AGRICULTURAL USES, AS WELL. SO B AND B1 IS 19.7 ACRES AND ADJACENT TO THOSE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED. WE WANT TO EXPAND THE CAMPGROUND AND THE EXPANSION WILL USE A SINGLE ACCESS SOUTH. IT IS 30 ADDITIONAL SITES. THERE'S 54 IN THE EXISTING ONE RIGHT NOW AND USE ALL THE SAME FACILITIES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO. WE FEEL LIE THE EXPANSION WILL PRESERVE THE RURAL CHARACTER THAT IS IN THE AREA HERE WHEN WE START LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN CLOSER YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF POVERTY BEING DEVELOPED. IT'S ACTUALLY A SMALL PORTION OF 19.97 ACRES FOR THE CAMPSITES. THE AGRICULTURAL, ONCE IT CHANGE FROM -- ONCE IT CHANGED FROM AN EXISTING PARCEL YOU HAVE TO HAVE 40 ACRES FOR ONE HOME AND ONCE IT IS REDUCED DOWN, WE WILL GET TO THAT ON THE NEXT ONE, THE LAND-USE PARCEL , THAT IS 20 ACRES AND THAT IS WHAT IS REQUIRED UNDER AGRICULTURAL INTENSIVE FOR ONE HOME. YOU CAN HAVE THE ACCESSORY TYPE OF HOMES AND IT DOES HAVE AN EXISTING BARN GARAGE ALSO. THAT REDUCTION IN SIZE IS WHAT IS PROMPTING US TO CHANGE THE LAND-USE TO BE NONCONFORMING . THEY WRAPPED AROUND THE CHURCH SO YOU WILL SEE THAT AS WE LOOK AT THE SITE PLANS. HERE'S THE REQUEST AND IT SHOWS YOU B AND B1 AREA FOR THE RURAL COMMERCIAL AND THEN IT SHOWS YOU THE EXISTING CAMPGROUND THAT'S GOING TO GO WITH IT. HIS SITE WILL TAKE UP THE BALANCE OF THAT WHICH INCLUDES A LOT OF WETLANDS AREAS BEING PRESERVED AS WELL. IT'S ALWAYS HELPFUL TO HAVE AN AERIAL UNDERLAY TO GIVE YOU A BETTER LOOK AT IT. OVERALL IT'S LIKE 39.97 ACRES FOR BOTH SITES AND YOU HAVE 9.26 ACRES OF WETLANDS. NONE OF THOSE ARE BEING IMPACT DID -- IMPACTED. GOES ALONG WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO AROUND THOSE AREAS. I THINK YOU HAD THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT SO WE WILL KNOCK IT INTO THAT BUT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, THOSE PONDS WERE DUG A LONG TIME AGO AND THE CLIENT HAS WORKED ON THEM A BIT, CLEANED THEM UP A BIT. YOU SAW ONE OF THOSE IN THE FIRST PICTURE THAT I HAVE. THERE'S ALSO UPLAND AREAS THAT WILL GO A LONG FLAGLER ESTATES BOULEVARD THAT HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH AND ALSO TO THE COUNTY PARK AREA, THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH THE CHURCH ALONG THAT BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A LARGE AREA SO OBVIOUSLY THE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE ON THAT PARTICULAR AREA. THE REZONING REQUEST GOES ALONG WITH THIS SAME KIND OF THING AND AGAIN IT'S 19.97 ACRES GOING ALONG WITH THE RURAL COMMERCIAL LAND-USE. I'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS. SAME ACCESS ON THE NORTHERN END OF THE PROPERTY THAT HAS THE 54 CAMPSITES AND THE MAIN OFFICE AS PART OF THEIR SHARED RETENTION POND. IT ALSO HAS THE RECREATION AREA WHICH IS PARTIAL ON THIS PARTICULAR SITE. THAT WAS ALLOWED UNDER THE AI THAT WAS THERE . AND AGAIN IT WOULD INCREASE THE EXISTING CAMPGROUND 30 MORE SPACES . IT'S IN THE UTILITY [00:40:07] AREA BUT THERE'S NO SERVICE AVAILABLE OUTSIDE OF HASTINGS. THERE IS SET FIXED SYSTEMS -- THERE ARE SEPTIC SYSTEMS THAT HE WORKS WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON THAT WILL BE IMPROVED TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. THERE IS ALSO A FIRE AND ALSO HAS A DRIP TYPE OF SYSTEM HE HAS WORKED OUT WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR FIRE PROTECTION, AS WELL. THAT TUBE IN THE RETENTION AREA , EVEN THOUGH THERE WASN'T ANY SIGNIFICANT NATURAL COMMUNITY HABITAT OR SPECIES NOTED IN THE REPORT , THEY DO SAY SOME OF THE HABITATS ARE SUITABLE FOR GOPHER TORTOISES SO WHEN THEY COME IN TO DO CONSTRUCTION PLANS HE HAS TO LOOK AT THOSE AGAIN AND HE UNDERSTANDS THAT A PROJECT IS GOING TO BE REQUIRED . HE HAS BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME . AND THEN THIS IS THE EXPANSION MATCHING EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN. YOU'VE GOT ABOUT 7.6 ACRES OF THE 19.97 ACRES AND HAS THE RECREATIONAL AREA ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF IT. THE NEW CAMPSITES ARE IN THIS LOCATION AND IN THIS LOCATION SO IT USES THE EXISTING ACCESS POINTS TO GET TO THEM. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND THAT ONE PARTICULARLY. AND AGAIN WE DO HAVE THE BUFFER SHOWN. EVEN THOUGH THE BUFFERS WILL NOT BE ON THE COMMERCIAL SITE -- DID I LOSE THAT? EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ON THE OTHER SITE AND HE PROTECTS THAT SITE ALSO , THEY WILL REMAIN THERE. AGAIN, JUST A THING THAT -- IT'S JUST A CLOSE-UP LOOK TO GIVE YOU THE WHOLE KIND OF THING. THERE IS ONE SMALL WETLAND AREA THAT IS CENTRAL TO HEAR AND IS A VERY ISOLATED -- THIS ONE IS ALSO CONSIDERED ISOLATED. THAT STILL HAS THE 25 FOOT BUFFER AND JUST TO GO THROUGH SOME PICTURES, THAT IS THE ENTRANCE OFF OF COUNTY ROAD 13 S. COUNTY ROAD 13 S. MAIN OFFICE IS IN SOME OF THE INITIAL CAMPSITES. AS YOU COME DOWN ON THIS PART WE GET TO, THAT IS LOOKING SOUTH FROM THERE. THAT'S THE EXISTING POND THAT SOME IS SHARED WITH THE OTHER FOR THE ADDITIONAL UNITS THERE'S ACTUALLY THAT FIELD DOWN IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. THAT IS THE RECREATION AS YOU WALK INTO IT WITH THE CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA. IT ALSO HAS A BEACH AS YOU CAN SEE . SOME OF THE CAMPGROUNDS, THAT IS THE BUFFERING. HALF OF THOSE NEW SITES WILL GO IN. YOU GO AROUND THAT PARTICULAR LAKE AND YOU GET UP TO THE NORTH PART OF THE SITE WHERE GOES INTO THE OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS THAT RECREATION AND ALSO THERE'S AN EXISTING HOME FOR PERSONNEL, AS WELL. THAT KIND OF GOES INTO THAT . YOU CAN SEE THE RECREATION IN THE BACK SO THAT COMES OFF THAT SITE AND THIS IS THE CENTRAL AREA THAT WILL BE ON THE NORTH SIDE . IF YOU KEEP GOING ON THAT ROAD AND KEEP HEADING TO THE WEST , THAT'S WHERE YOU COME UP . YOU CAN KIND OF SEE RIGHT HERE WERE THE COUNTY HAS SOME ACCESS THAT COMES IN FOR THE PARK AREA. THIS IS A KIND OF ACCESS POINT THAT WAS FOR THE CHURCH SITE. THEN YOU GET TO HIS HOUSE AND THE GARAGE BARN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF AT THE END OF THAT PARTICULAR ROAD . THAT IS COMING AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE TO SEE THE FRONT OF HIS HOUSE AND AS WE MENTIONED HE WANTS TO [00:45:03] PUT AN ACCESSORY HOME ADJACENT TO IT FOR HIS PARENTS. THIS KIND OF SHOWS YOU THE ROAD THAT GOES NORTH AND SOUTH ALONG AMOS AVENUE OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS HIS DRIVE. THEY PARALLEL EACH OTHER ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHERE YOU GET TO FLAGLER ESTATES BOULEVARD. THAT'S KIND OF LOOKING BACK AT AMOS AVENUE LOOKING TO THE EAST. THAT IS THE FULL INTERSECTION ALONG THE BOULEVARD. I THOUGHT YOU COULD SEE HOW AMOS AVENUE KEEPS GOING THAT WAY. THIS IS A LONG FLAGLER ESTATES BOULEVARD WITH SIGNS POSTED IN THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION. YOU CAN SEE THAT IS ON 13 S. IT'S THE DOLLAR GENERAL AND THE ACCESS COMING OUT OR GOING INTO THE DOLLAR GENERAL BUT SHOWING YOU THE ACCESS TO FLAGLER ESTATES. THAT IS A LITTLE BETTER PICTURE OF THAT DOLLAR GENERAL BACK IN HERE. SO THE PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET FROM HIS PROPERTY, YOU CAN SEE THE AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY AND LOOKING, THAT WOULD BE CONTINUING ON 13 S. TO KEEP GOING DOWN TO THE EAST. HIS ENTRANCE SIGN SHOWS YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUFFERING ALONG HERE AND FENCING THAT HE'S GOT ANYWAY, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, BUT IT'S THE TWO CHANGES FOR THE LAND-USE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. WE FEEL THESE ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA FOR COMMERCIAL AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL AND WE ARE ASKING YOU FOR A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL TO AMEND THE COMP PLAN FOR THAT RS AND FOR AI TO RURAL COMMERCIAL AND THEN FROM THAT TO AGRICULTURE FOR THE OTHER PORTION. THE REZONING MATCHES THAT. WITH THE RURAL COMMERCIAL USES HERE , IN CASE WE WANT TO DISCUSS THEM AT ALL, AS I'VE SAID THE WAY IT IS LAID OUT WITH LAKES AND THINGS LIKE THAT IT DOES NOT REALLY LEND ITSELF TO MUCH MORE OF THE CAMPGROUNDS. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN PROBABLY DO WITH THIS. WE ARE ASKING FOR A RECOMMENDATION ON THAT TO TAKE IT FROM OR TO SEE OUR -- TO CR . >> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A QUESTION BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT VERY THOROUGH. AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT TO COMMENT? >> IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS NUMBER SIX AND SEVEN? >> SUZANNE, AGAIN I WAS NOT PLANNING ON SPEAKING ON THIS BUT HOW FORTUITOUS THAT I DID COME TODAY. I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ROADS. THEY ARE NOT OVER CAPACITY FOR SCHOOLS . THERE MAY BE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. I USUALLY DIFFER TO DOCTOR HILSENBECK TO THAT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT IT . I AM FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA AND I AM REALLY HAPPY TO SEE SOMEONE EXPANDING THE CAMPGROUND. THIS IS NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING . USUALLY THEY WANT TO SELL THE CAMPGROUND AND PUT UP MILLION-DOLLAR HOUSES OR SOMETHING. LIVE IN A VERY DIFFERENT WORLD AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SOLD THEIR HOMES AND THEY LIVE IN THEIR MOBILE HOME OR TRAVEL WITH THEIR TRAVEL TRAILER AND THAT IS HOME. THERE'S NOT VERY MANY PLACES IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY FOR [00:50:02] THEM TO COME AND BE ABLE TO ENJOY OUR COUNTY. I AM VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THIS AND IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PLAN FOR THAT PARTICULAR PARCEL. I KNOW IT'S OUTSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, BOUNDARY . BUT HASTINGS IS COMING ALIVE. ON THE SIDEWALKS OUT THERE AND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE REDEVELOPMENT HAPPENING, I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING. THEY CAN GO WHEREVER AND TALK ABOUT IT, PEOPLE COME BACK AND THEY SAY THERE'S MORE TO ST. JOHNS COUNTY THAN JUST THE BEACH OR HISTORICAL SAINT AUGUSTINE . I HOPE YOU ALL FIND A WAY TO VOTE YES FOR THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION TO OUR ST. JOHNS COUNTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK? WE ARE BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR ANY DISCUSSIONS. >> I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. I APPRECIATE ALL THE PHOTOS. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT I WAS LATE AND COULD NOT TRACK SOMEONE DOWN FOR A GUIDED TOUR BECAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SITE. I'M OUT THERE A LOT AND I AGREE THAT HASTINGS IS WAKING UP AND GROWING AND I AM AGREEABLE WITH ANYTHING THAT WILL HELP TO ENHANCE THAT. THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE ABOUT HOW THE WORLD HAS CHANGED AND HOW PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO WORK REMOTELY . IT'S A GREAT LOCATION TO GET PREMIUM PRICES IN SAINT AUGUSTINE PROPER BUT STILL BE IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY SO I AM FULLY IN FAVOR OF THIS APPLICATION. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? >> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION, MADAM CHAIR. MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF SMALL-SCALE 2024 - 05 , 4 LAKES CAMPGROUND BASED ON FOUR FINDINGS OF FACT AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT . >> ANY DISSENT IN? SEEING NONE LET'S REGISTER THE VOTE. THAT MOTION PASSES. CAN WE GET A MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER SEVEN? >> A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF REZONING * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
