   1:36:34Uh so P fifty eight. Yeah, now with Keith's permission we'll go back to fifty eight.

   Keith

   1:36:38Thank you, Mr. Snyder. I appreciate that. I feel very comfortable at this point. Uh P 58 is an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners amending the Pasco County Land Development Code to increase parks and recreation impact fee beyond the phase and limitations in section 163, 318016, Florida statutes. And I think that's enough for that part. Um again most of this stuff is pretty much some recap. So I do want to talk about the recommendation by the Planning Commission that was made in

   1:37:08April. The Planning Commission did find that the proposed amendments amendments for the Com Plan were consistent. They did recommend approval of the amendments underneath these conditions. A phase in was instituted and/or a lower fee was brought forth. An exemption for affordable housing was included. Inclusion of a fee for hotels specifically and requiring that all changes to the 2022-2045 PRN or capital plan be adopted by ordinance instead of resolution. Just some brief discussion on these. From

   1:37:39recommend recommendation one, obviously when we presented back in September, the board did not recommend at that time for a phase in. We briefly discussed before what a phase in ultimately would do long term to the actual revenue generated underneath the proposed fee. Again, that's up to the board's will. Underneath recommendation two, we felt that the inclusion of hotels into the ordinance was counterproductive based on some of the recent incentives that the board actually provided to the hotel industry. We want to bring hotels here. Recommendation three. was that

   1:38:10the capital plan itself be adopted by ordinance instead of resolution. So the actual capital plan is is really the document it's the document that it's not it's not actually being proposed to be included into the LDC. Anything that would be major that would be changed would um that would affect the fee structure would have to be adopted by ordinance. But everything else basically is being proposed to um to be changed through resolution. Recommendation four is the inclusion of an affordable housing Uh exemption, if you will, or discount.

   1:38:40That's something that we're happy to discuss with community development, assuming we can figure out what the definition of that would be. As I understand it from um County Attorney David Goldstein, is that the other thing is that the other thing If it's discussed here and we have time to work on that with community development, we can bring it back on July eleventh uh for consideration by the board. I don't know if that's still standing to be correct, but

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:39:01It is, but I think the board would have to direct us to pursue that and As the board's well aware, the in the interim the legislature adopted Senate Bill One O two, the Live Local Act and I don't know if you want to delay consideration of an affordable housing exemption until we had a more full more thorough analysis of the effects of that act. It's but it's up to the board.

   Weightman

   1:39:23I Mr. Witman. Thank you. I've I've kind of been really vocal on this topic. I I think we need to wait and see what What this act does and what it

   1:39:35How it how it comes and impacts Pasco County. I think I think we need to give it time.

   MarianoChair

   1:39:40Okay. Commissioner Starkey?

   Starkey

   1:39:42No, I don't want to wait. I don't want to delay.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:39:47Well are we talking about delaying the impact fee or the affordable housing Commissioner Weightman's talking about delaying the affordable housing exemption only.

   Starkey

   1:39:57Delay I don't want to wait on that. Am I saying it right?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:40:01No.

   Starkey

   1:40:02No? Can't we um look at those piece by piece?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:40:08So you can adopt the impact fee. at the next public hearing as scheduled And you can implement an affordable housing exemption at a later date if you want to.

   Starkey

   1:40:17Yeah.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:40:18That's what Commissioner Weightman is talking about.

   Starkey

   1:40:19Yes, later date. When we know the impact.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:40:22Yes.

   MarianoChair

   Keith

   1:40:47Okay. So if I could just close with something real quick. Um like I said, been working on this for really long time with the team. I do appreciate all the support by the board. Um, you know, parks are essential. We all know that. Everyone deserves an awesome park. Uh we have a really cool plan, but without finances, you you can't get anything done. So I think this is an awesome first step to making that happen. So thank you on behalf of the department and the citizens.
