4:29Good afternoon. Welcome to the Board of County Commissioners public hearing at 1.30. We're going to start. With item number P forty.

4:41Would you like to know when it was noticed, sir?

4:43Yes.

4:44Okay, P forty was advertised in the Tampa Bay Times on April nineteenth, twenty twenty three and by affidavit of certified mailings and site postings.

4:52Thank you. Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman Mariano Fito's Planning and Development. I'll go ahead and read the uh ordinance title. In 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 ROR, Retail Office Residential, and Res One, Residential One Dwelling Unit for Gross Acre to CON Commercial on approximately twenty point one three acres. Of real property located at the northwest intersection of State Road 52 and Happy

5:22Hill. And a text amendment creating sub-area policy flu 7.1.62, Pittman Massey, Happy Hill. And a map amendment to the future land use map 2-9, adding sub-area map 2-9.62, Pittman, Massey, Happy Hill. And providing for additional text amendments is necessary for international consistency, providing for a good

5:47Yeah.

5:51Good afternoon Commissioners. Hiya's Miz Ellie, staff blender with long-range blending, and I will be presenting item P40.

6:02This is the uh map of the general location of the subject site. It is located in the North Market area and not within the northeast Pasco rural area. This is an aerial view or more like a zoomed-in aerial view of the site location. As you see, it is situated in the northwest corner of County Road 52 and Happy Hill Road intersection.

6:30And this is another aerial that shows the local context as well as the surrounding um uh or existing conditions surrounding the subject site. As you see, the subject property is surrounded by residential uses, and we also have villages of Basadina Hills to the south of the subject property. There is a planned trail called Clinton Avenue Trail that's running through VOPH. And there's also the Orange Belt Trail.

7:00The proposed route will be in the vicinity and Um a connection to that trail should be considered to the site.

7:11The site has a little bit of history and I like to run through it before I present the project. So in 1975, the zoning um the original zoning districts established the C2 General Commercial Zoning Districts along the frontage or the southern portion of the subject site. But in 1991, when the comprehensive plan was adopted, the established flu was Res1, which created a conflict between

7:41zoning and land use. In 2006, the BCC determined that this C2 zoning district lies within a commercial node. This commercial node is located at the southeast corner of the subject site, and it is about 10 acres, 660 feet by 660 feet. This determination prompted a flu amendment from Res1 to Ottawa.

8:10office resale or resale office residential And the intent of this amendment was to ensure consistency with the comprehensive plan, more specifically flu 1.5.2, which addresses conflict zoning between land use and zoning. The intent of the amendment was also to allow for commercial development on the site. On March 10th of 2020, the subject's property was removed from the Northeast Pasco rural area because it was intended for commercial development given

8:40the vested commercial and it was not suitable for Northeast Rural Development Standards.

8:48They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I have here a picture showing what I had been describing in the previous slide. As you see The subject site has two zoning districts, C2 and AR, and the surrounding zoning to the north is R1, to the east is R2, and to the south and west is MPUD or Master Planned Unit Development.

9:18This is the existing future land use map. The site again has two flu designations, ROR on about 9.9 acres and Res1 on about 10.23 acres. The surrounding existing future land use to the north and to the west is PD or Plan Development. Um I'm sorry, is Res One and to the east is Res 6 and to the south is PD Plan Development. It is very important to

9:48mention that there is a Category One wetland on the south. east corner southwest corner of the subject site this wetland cannot be impacted and a 25-foot upland buffer is required and as you see right here the wetland provides a buffer between the commercial development and the east point residential to the west. Now we get to the project

10:18overview. The applicant is proposing a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use designation from Res1 and ROR to Calm Commercial on approximately 20.13 acres to allow for commercial development. The applicant is also proposing a comprehensive plan text amendment to add sub-area policy flu 7.1.62 Bitman Messi Happy Hill to identify potential uses as well as maximum intensities and densities on the subject site.

10:49We are very familiar with the location of the site right now. It's at the northwest corner of CR 52 and Happy Hill Road intersection. The resolution to the applicant proposal is to amend flue map 2-15 and sheet 15 from Res1 and ROR to COM, as well as to amend Flue Map 2-9 adding sub-area map 2-9-62 Pittman Massie Happy Hill. As for rezoning, there is currently a rezoning petition in the name of RZ7706 Pittman Mass E Happy Hill in

11:19review to rezone from AR, Agricultural Residential Districts, and C2, General Commercial Districts to C2 General Commercial Districts.

11:30This is the proposed future land use map. As you see, the proposed conflu will unify the site to one flu commercial. And um this calm flu is um uh a compatible transitional land use to the surrounding uses around the site.

11:54The Planning and Development Department found that the proposed amendment to be consistent with the following comprehensive plan policies.

12:07And with that

12:11We recommend that I'm sorry, we recommend that the um board find the proposed amendment make consistent with the comprehensive plan and adopt by roll call vote.

12:20Thank you.

12:21Thank you. Any

12:22Um I'm just gonna I I I I would say I remember this site a long time ago coming before us. Um was the same time the appropriate Trinity and Little Road was being proposed. And the Trinity Little L Little Road was a really fancy one, but it was a full developed site. And that got approved and this one got approved. I thought it was this whole site was covered. the way we need it to be. So I'm actually surprised to see it coming back. I thought we had set this up a long time ago for good commercial. Commissioner Starkey

12:51Well uh I I think Clark's coming up to talk to us and when he's done then I'll ask him my question.

12:56Okay.

12:57I did talk to him this morning but I forgot to ask.

12:59Any other questions for staff? No. Thank you so much. Thank you.

13:06Thank you, Hyatt. Uh for the record, Clark Hobby, Hobby and Hobby PA 109 with Brush Street, Tampa, Florida. Have not been sworn, but that's not necessary because it's a comp plan amendment. Uh the subject site has been owned by the Pittman and Massey family since the 1950s. Uh basically what staff is telling you, and and this goes back a long time that I've been working on the site, Barbara and I actually worked on this at some length. In 2005, 6 and 7, but 19 of the 20 acres already have ROR

13:36or vested commercial. So basically, we're just cleaning this up to make the whole thing commercial. The family's hope and intent is when we finish rezoning the last portion of it on the top to C2, hopefully, we'll have enough depth on the site to have a quality and or tenant user. Right now the 390 or so feet that we have in C2 on the zoning side is really only enough to have one row of out partials and that's what the family's been trying

14:07to avoid for many years. We want something better. We've been trying to get you know people like Publix in there for many years. So happy to answer any questions you may have.

14:20Okay. Um so um you know we brought up trails and I know we're working on Lawrence Belt route study and um and of course while we may have the main route go north of there, hopefully, um it's always good to have connections to it. So um our Have s has staff talked to you about whether the trail on fi Old Fifty Two is on the north side or the south side of that road?

14:50No, we haven't gotten to that point. Keep in mind this is just a plan amendment and you in a Euclidean zoning, so that's kinda speculative and out there. I would say and and I don't I Barbara represents the Iaprades who own the property on the south. Given the topo on the north side of 52 in this area, it would be harder for me to imagine a trail going on the north side because it's gonna be harder to deal with on the topographical side, which is why the county has a route study

15:21in this area. And all the ponds go on the south side of the road for that reason. But I'm happy to ha we'll be

15:26happy to

15:27chat with you all.

15:29I don't think we know where it's coming in that area and we just need to be prepared to be able to place it.

15:36Sure. Understood. Uh Commissioner Weightman.

15:38Thank you. You know my question is Mr. Audvin. Sure. Protect the integrity that it will be a

15:46commercial site through the here today.

16:04Commissioner heavily encouraged me to take the rest of the site to commercial and leave it at commercials. That's why we're here today.

16:10Thank you. So I appreciate you holding the integrity of it being truly and holistically a commercial site. Obviously you know my feelings about Topo, so I'm just uh sensitive sensitive to that. So

16:24Okay. Ms. Oakley? Um I'm good with the site and I've I've discussed this several times with the owner and and with the Clark and and the group, so I'm good with it. Um we have public comment on

16:43uh Mr. Stark. Not only do I want us to be cognizant of what possibly will be along O fifty two. Also up Happy Hill. I don't know where the plan is to turn north. Um but it Right.

16:58You do have a coming. You do have an approved route study for the first twelve hundred or so feet. There's actually a plan that you all approved for a roundabout at that intersection and it the plans go up and and there is a widening of the road for the first quarter mile or so. The question will be over the long haul, what happens with Happy Hill? Because obviously the city of Dade City is Had quite a bit of growth in that area, and that will be something that the board the board will have to discuss over time.

17:29I'm aware of what the city's doing, and uh we are talking about a roundabout in that area, and the city is across the street from this property on the east side of Happy Hill, and they're developing that over there. Okay.

17:42Thank you. Uh there's time for public comment. Anyone There is not.

17:47There is not.

17:48Okay. Anyone want WebEx?

17:50Yeah.

17:51Anyone in the audience like to speak to this item? Move approval. Second. Okay, that's a roll call vote.

17:58Yes, sir. Okay, District One, Commissioner Oakley. Aye. District two, Commissioner Weightman. Aye. District three, Commissioner Starkey. Aye. District four, Commissioner Bradford. District five, Chairman Mariano.
