    MarianoChair

    And that would complete your ordinance. You're gonna have to take separate action and you're going to have to allow the public time to speak on both. You can take them together if you wish, but should we just caveats?

    Nectarios Pittos

    rezoning. Okay. Okay, so P sixty first. P sixty first. Okay, P sixty is an ordinance amending the Pasco County Comprehensive Plan, providing for a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment to the future land use map, map two-fifteen and sheet fifteen from res one residential one dwelling unit per gross acre to res 9 residential nine dwelling units per gross acre on approximately 20.2 acres. acres of real property located at the southeast intersection of Hancart Road and Jesse Daniels Drive within the village villages of Pesina Hills and providing for additional text amendments as necessary

    for internal consistency, providing for repealer servability and an effective date. And we have staff to make the presentation.

    Amy Heiler

    Good afternoon. Amy Heiler with Long Range Planning. Today you're going to hear the adoption hearing for Handcart 20 being item PDD 23-0234, which is a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment.

    Yeah, you guys got it?

    We can skip through this because Terry just read it into record. So the site property is located in the central market area. Slow. And it's also located within the unentitled area of the villages of Matanina Hills. Uh this is your existing future land use reflecting a res one. Next. And your proposed future land use of Res9. Your existing zoning right now is AC.

    And this is the location map showing where it is generally in vicinity of the villages of Pasadena Hills. As you can see, this is located within the unentitled area of BOPH. It's just a closer visual for you. Figure PH6 is the future land use that was established or adopted within the village of Pasadena Hills. Again, as you can see when this was created it was a current existing

    Res1 future land use. And I zoomed in so you can see. And the villages of Pasadena Hills and Figure PH2 created a vision plan, land use vision plan. The reason why this is important is can you go to the next slide? Thank you. As you can see, you can see a little bit, the coloration of this area is a lot is a mixture of a light yellow and a darker yellow. Basically, what that means is the villages of Pasadena. Sadina

    Hills Land Use Vision Plan envision this area to be considered neighborhood general and neighborhood edge. So within the VOPH plan, neighborhood edge allows for approximately five dwelling units per gross acre, and the neighborhood village or neighborhood edge, I'm sorry, neighborhood general is five dwelling units, neighborhood edge is approximately two dwelling units. So even though the existing future lane use is The envision for villages of Pasadena Hills envisioned it to be a bit more um

    intense or dense than the existing future land use. And it's also important to note that this area is located adjacent uh to Hancart Road, which within the villages of Pasadena Hills is envisioned as a four-lane roadway.

    Thank you.

    So with that being said, these are the following policies that are consistent with the proposed amendment. Policy flu 6.1.1, Pasadena Hills Planning Principles, 6.1.2, Pasadena Hills Vision Plan Graphic, and 6.4.2 context-sensitive design. And with that we recommend approval of the proposed comprehensive plan and adopt the ordinance by roll call vote. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

    MarianoChair

    All right, any questions for staff?

    No? Okay. What's hear from the applicant?

    Barbara Wilhite

    Good afternoon. Barbara Will Height, Sixty Three, Twenty Seven, Grand Boulevard, New Port Richey, Three Four Six Five Two.

    Starkey

    None. Okay.

    Barbara Wilhite

    Well

    Starkey

    in fact we do not have any WebEx uh signed up.

    Barbara Wilhite

    Okay. Um well I had requested ten minutes for each of these, but I really don't want to go on it's and it's really Christy Barrero from Height who's the presenter. But we have one presentation for both. I understand they gotta take them separately, but so we don't go on for ten minutes on each item. We're gonna try to do ten minutes to present everything to you. And then if there's additional questions we get to the MPD item, we can certainly talk about that. That's kind of how I thought it makes sense to order, if that's okay with the board.

    MarianoChair

    I'd say yeah, d the first presentation, make it as comprehensive as you can and then we'll

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Perfect.

    MarianoChair

    Yeah, I don't care I don't mind you including the M M P U D information in the Comp plan. Thank you very much. If that's a question.

    Barbara Wilhite

    Our team is very lucky to have Christy Barrero of Height, one of the architects of this B O P H plan, on our team and she's gonna present to you. Thank you.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Good afternoon, Christy Barrera with Height Design. And we always think it's helpful to include some information about the MPUD with the comp plan because it gives you a little bit more detail, a little bit better understanding of why we want to change the future we need use. And I believe staff's pulling up my presentation. Perfect.

    So the property is uh two parcels, two ten acre parcels for twenty acres total. We wanted to start off by letting you know we're requesting 144 townhomes, and that's 7.2 dwelling units per acre. So to get to that 144 townhomes, we're requesting a comprehensive plan amendment from Residential One to Res 9, which Amy just talked to you about. And that request was unanimously recommended for approval by the Planning and

    Policy Committee and the LPA the last couple of months. And then we're also requesting a companion zoning from AC to MPUD. The VOPH Planning and Policy Committee also heard that item and they recommended unanimous approval of that as well.

    So anyone over a little bit of the history of BOPH, just to get you oriented, we are just south of Village J. So we are outside of the 13 villages. We're also outside of the countryside area, outside of any rural enclaves. But we are in between two excluded properties. Those are the areas in gray that are shown on the screen here. Those are MPUDs that were approved before BOPH area plan was approved in 2008.

    So that includes. Watergrass, Oak Creek and Chapel Creek. So there's a very narrow area between Watergrass and Chapel Creek that did not have an improved zoning, and this property is in that area. That's one of the reasons the property wasn't included in one of the 13 villages. You can see that Village J is just to the north of it, as well as village G, D, and C, which are all type 2A or type 1 villages. So those are the most dense and intense village types in

    Pasadena Hills with very limited neighborhood edge which is the two units per acre. So the higher density of five units per acre and the ten units per acre in the general in the core Would most likely be along the four-lane handcart road or any of the east-west roads that are bisecting these villages. Here you can see the master roadway plan. As Amy mentioned, Handcart Road is shown in blue here. It's planned to be a four-lane

    divided road in the future. Overpass Road is shown in orange. That will be a six-lane divided road in the future. And to the south of us, Zephyrhills Bypass will also be an east-west road that will be four-lane divided. So this is a graphic of what Handcart as well as Zephyrhills Bypass will look like in the future. Again, four lanes with a 12-foot multi-use path on one side and an 18-foot multi-use path on the other side. The plan is

    that the 18-foot multi-use path would go on the east side of the road, the side that our property is on. On the east side is a hundred-acre property that the school board currently owns that has not been built on yet, as well as a 300-acre superpark farther to the north. Just to zoom in a little bit to see our project again, the Red Star. In addition to Handcart Overpass and Zephyrhills Bypass, we also have two purple roads. One is just to the east of the property, that's

    a north-south road. And then one is to the north of us, it's an east-west road. That east-west road will be an extension of Old Bridge Road that's currently constructed and ends at Hancart today. The plan is it for is for it to continue east of Hancart and farther west through View PH as a parallel reliever to Overpass Road. So there is a good roadway network surrounding this property. Even though it's not in a village, this area was planned for future development. And this is what those purple

    roads are going to look like. It's two lanes, two 11-foot travel lanes for vehicles, as well as six-foot multi-use lanes on either side and eight-foot multi-use paths on either side. So again, lots of roads, lots of development that will be occurring in this area in the future.

    And then again to orient you to the site, this is on the right hand side the existing zoning designations. You see a lot of yellow, which is the MPUDs. To the south of our site, you see some pink colors, which is commercial. That's 80 acres of C2 commercial at the intersection of Hancart and Island. This will also be the intersection of the future Zephyrhills bypass. That will be a major area. intersection just less than a mile south of us. And less than a mile north of us will be the intersection of Overpass

    and Hancart Road, which will be the village core of Village J. So that will also have non-residential development. Again with that multi-use path on our side of the road will be easy access for our residents to get to any retail uses. And then we wanted to go into a little bit of detail about the zoning plan. This is our plan here. Again. twenty acres there is a wetland that bisects the property. We are showing

    a 15-foot perimeter buffer surrounding the property. It'll be a type B buffer on the north, east, and southern sides, and then a 15-foot type D buffer adjacent to Hancart Road. We're also dedicating 21 feet of right-of-way for the future expansion of Hancart Road. We're showing connect the main entrance point will be on the northern property line at Jesse Daniels Road. Currently there's a 20-foot right-of-way easement there. We'll be expanding

    that road to our entrance point. And then we're showing access to the east and south and a secondary emergency access farther south on Hancart Road.

    So, just to quickly summarize, we're requesting residential nine future land use on 20 acres with a companion MPUD for 144 townhomes. So again, that MPUD will cap the number of units at 144, capping the density at 7.2 units per acre. We did receive a recommendation of approval from the last two boards. And we feel that higher density is appropriate on Hankart because it will be adjacent to the future four-lane

    divided road with multi-purpose paths. It is also, Hankart also has the type 1 and type 2A villages just north of here. And there is support retail less than a mile in either direction, or there is planned to have support retail. Additionally, this is one of the few places in Pasadena Hills where there currently is water and sewer. It is on the west side of Hancart Road, adjacent to our property. We feel that townhomes are compatible to the surrounding

    development that has been approved as well as constructed. And we will be paying VOPH development surcharges. So in addition to the county standard mobility and impact fees, we'll also be paying the required VOPA surcharges. And that includes almost a million dollars in mobility fees, which will go to paying for these roads that are planned and shown in the Master Roadway Plan. to answer any questions you have at this time

    or we can wait till staff gives their presentation on the zoning.
