It is a Euclidean zoning amendment from R2 Low Density Residential District and C2 General Commercial District to I1 Light Industrial Park District. The future land use classification as of Tuesday, December 10th, was approved for IL Light Industrial. The applicant proposes to develop the property in conformance with the I-1 Light Industrial Park District

standards. on the southeast corner of the intersection of Diagonal Road and New York Avenue. It's located in the Westmarket area and urban service area.

There's our context map. Here is our zoomed in aerial.

The surrounding future lane use to the north is I L, to the east is ROR, to the south is Res 6, and to the west is ROR. The surrounding zoning. To the north is AR, to the east is C2, to the south is R2, and to the west is C2, RMH, and R2.

Okay. Is the applicant present?

Barbara Wilhite

Good afternoon. Barbara Wilheite, [address removed]. I would just um wanted to highlight that yesterday the excuse me on Tuesday the Board of County Commissioners changed the land use to industrial light. So the land use on this is industrial light. This is the companion zoning to um I one. Not sure what the issue could be, but I'm here to uh find out as well. Thank you.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Okay. Thanks Barbara.

Is there anybody here to speak on this?

Moody

Yeah.

Pastor Jim

Pastor Jen, Shady Hills, Mission Tap [address removed]. Um the only concern that I really had about this and um had I seen Ms. Well heights, yes. I would have spoken to her about it. It just was concerning that it was Tuesday, it went before the board and it wasn't advertised for today. And to be honest, I was just here for another meeting. And so if somebody did have an

issue or did want to speak to it, um it would come before you and they didn't have the apo opportunity potentially and it wasn't um I know that the November was rescheduled, um, but then Tuesday it was there and nothing was really brought up. So In all honesty it was a little confusing and I think it would be not for nothing a great opportunity if the county would

work with this property owner for housing, for transitional living. That is all. Thank you.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

No thank you.

Okay.

Moody

Uh well you need to look at the Bayonet Point.

You don't you're good? I just want to ask her a question. Bor Barbara or Pastor? Pastor Jim. Okay. Human. Make the suggestion that the county would should work with the applicant for transitional housing. Why would this site be optimal for transitional housing versus some other site.

Pastor Jim

Uh this site actually would be very optimal because of the location. There's hot spots where one of the highest, I think top three probably for overdose fatalities in the state of Florida. and um this location I you know as I advocate for this type of project, this type of thing Um What continues to come around to me is that there is no property.

in the area close to these hot spots. Um You know, and there were people dying in this area. Uh at the board meetings, some lady was talking about shooting the homeless people. I think I heard her. So you know, when I saw this I thought potentially it would be an opportunity for the landowner to work together with the county to do something in that arena.

David Torino

Okay.

Barbara Wilhite

Barbara Wellheit, wouldn't it make more sense to look for property that's for sale? than to come up here and try to stop our or comment on our rezoning. Um Look for properties for sale, approach the county, and put something together, but to pick off a agenda, an item that somebody's bringing forward for their property makes no sense to me. Thank you.

Unidentified speakerVoice A
