Conditional Use Amendment Request (Consent) – Spanish Lakes Land Company LLC/ Spanish Lakes CU – Conditional Use Amendment to Remove Height Limitation for Previously Approved Multifamily Dwellings in a C-2 General Commercial District – West Central Pasco County – Approximately 150 Feet North of State Road 52, East of Deerbook Boulevard – Containing Approximately 18.65 Acres File Number PDE25-CU05

23:08Okay. Again, Liam Divine Playing Development and Economic Growth Department, PC five.

23:16Which is PDE 25-CU zero five. It's a conditional use amendment request in the name of Spanish Lakes Land Company, LLC, Spanish Lakes CU. It's a conditional use amendment request to remove the height limitation from the previously approved multifamily dwelling units approved for C2 General Commercial District. The current zoning is C2. The future land use is MU mixed use. Again, the applicant is requesting to remove the height

23:46limitations that was previously approved in 2005, which restricted the height to 35 feet. And it's approximately a hundred and fi uh sorry, a hundred and fifty feet. I meant a hundred and fifty feet north of State Road fifty two, east of Deer Brook Boulevard.

24:04It's located in the South Market area and urban service area. the urban s or service area does not have height restrictions.

24:15Yeah. Um zoomed out a little bit. To the northwest is the Spanish Lakes MPUD, which was approved for 295 single-family attached and detached dwelling units. Here's a zoomed in aerial view.

24:33The surrounding future land use to the north is MU Mixuse. To the east is Res 3 and Com Commercial to the south and west is MU Mixuse.

24:44The surrounding zoning to the north is C2, General Commercial District, to the east is AC, P01, and C2, to the south is C2, and to the west is C2 and MPUD.

24:59The subject property is currently vacant on approximately 18.65 acres. On February 8th, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners approved a conditional use for multifamily dwelling units in C2, with conditions that limited the height of all buildings to be 35 feet in height. And access to the property is from Shady Hills Road and Deerbrook Boulevard.

25:27Deerbrook Boulevard is actually one of our vision roads on our table. The applicant has worked with Planning, Development, and Economic Growth Department and Transportation Engineering Department, as well as the County Attorney's Office, to provide alternative routes for that vision road. So this is what the current existing conceptual for that road is. Um it cuts currently right through the property. There are two um options. Um this would be option A. Which would come up and over.

26:00along the property line and then this would be option B.

26:06And this is coming with recommendation um for approval with conditions from Planning Development and Economic Growth Department.

26:13Okay, and is the applicant

26:14present?

26:17Mr. Chairman for Liam, but I don't know. Well maybe the applicant can answer it too. I just want to make sure that The property owners that are affected by this New alignment received notice of this

26:34No that this As you know, Barbara, that your your client

26:39expressed

26:39dismay that the alignment changed to land on the property where it is now. I just wanna make sure we don't have somebody else claiming that they didn't get notice that this alignment was changed.

26:49We included it in our public hearing notice.

26:51about the alignment changing?

26:53Yes.

26:53Okay. That's what I wanted to know. And and that included all the property owners that are not. Affected by it.

27:00Yeah, we went we put it in our notice that went five hundred feet out. So they pulled everybody in.

27:05Okay.

27:06Barbara Wool Height, 8623, 8623, Graham Boulevard, New Port Richey, for the applicant. This is a change to make this approval consistent with two board actions. Um subsequent to this approval the board um made a policy that in the urban service area they did not want any height limitation. That was a few years back. And most recently last year, um the board amended the um mixed use and a bunch of other land use categories

27:37to uh increase the FAR to allow for the fact that there is no height limitation in the urban service area. So this consistent this request just makes those this action approval consistent with those two actions of the Board of County Commissioners. I would note that if you look at um I do have a a slide that kind of just gives a little bit of context as to what's around us. I think it might be helpful to I know um Liam went through it, but

28:07this slide puts pretty good context on it.

28:14The first slide, please.

28:16This is it.

28:18I can just make that the whole screen. Okay, thank you. You can't see quite to the south there, but it's cut off a little bit. There we go. So this is our surrounding zoning. So to the north is C2, to our south is C2. To our east is C2. And what's important about saying that is not only is that C2, but that's C2 with no height limitation. Because there is no height limitation in the C2 zoning district within this area. We

28:49have Shady Hills to our east, and across from that is a commercial land use designation with office and C2. To our west, you can see there's both C2 and then there's wetlands between us and the residential subdivision, Deerbrook, and the closest house is about 933 feet. And I would say the other thing, we can talk about traffic if I don't know what the concern is of of the um of uh Pastor Jen who has um signed up to speak. But w Steve Henry is here. If it is traffic, we'll come back and talk to you about traffic.

29:19I would just tell you that between C two and this conditional use, it's eighty-nine percent less traffic. So Thank you.

29:28The other thing I would add to what Barbara just said is that part of the reason that there was an initially a request that we eliminate this road. Um but I think our traffic engineering department was not comfortable with that because it is serving to relieve Shady Hills Road in the future. So Um that was why the applicant worked with Transportation, County Attorney's Office and planning to realign the road as opposed to Eliminate the road. Because we are concerned we are concerned about Shady Hills Road. In

29:59the future.

30:00We did spend months. Thank you.

30:01Uh Barbara?

30:02Yes.

30:03Um I and I totally understand if you don't have the information just yet 'cause it's early, but uh do you have any idea of how what at what height the your client wants to build at some point or? They just wanna

30:14have the freedom.

30:23Okay. There's no change in the number of units, correct?

30:27The the number is the number approved by the um conditional use presently is four hundred and thirty-two and we've capped it at three sixty.

30:37So

30:37this is less units.

30:38Less units than what the conditional use allows.

30:42Were they multifamily, correct?

30:44Multifamily?

30:45Is that what you said?

30:46Yeah, that's already approved for multifamily.

30:48Okay, thank you.

30:49Okay, thank you, Barbara.

30:52All right. Would you like to come forward please? Get your state your name and uh address, please.

30:59Uh Jen Kerouac, uh [address removed]. Um I'm on this particular um item uh we uh myself and some other folks from Shady Hills Civic Association um did reach out to um Deerfield Lakes, the the community like that is one of the neighboring communities. We weren't able to reach anybody, but

31:30the concern that I had is there wasn't anything um po there wasn't a posting like on the side like a sign that is normally there. I look to see Um we did Deerfield Lake said they had no idea we couldn't reach anybody with Quail Ridge. Obviously our concern is always, I mean, the schools in the area. um up Shady Hills Road, dependent I guess on where these children might or might

32:00not go. Um we know that m the most the the public schools are and the school board could probably speak to that much more intelligently than I could. The other concern also for myself is whether or not it were to be affordable housing, that's something that could be discussed, I'm sure, off the record. But again, m the main concern is the posting wasn't there. So there were, you know, I don't know if anybody else would have

32:30shown up to advocate, you know, their concerns with regards to residential homes being in that area and a gated community across the way and having a height. Uncertain. So that's my concern with this item. Thank you.

32:46All right. Anybody have any questions for Yeah. Uh Lamb, can you speak uh to us about the posting?

32:56You

32:59So the affidavit of posting and mailings is attached in your agenda packet. There are photos that are included that show that the sign is posted on the property. It's where Deerbrook ends into the property. So the the property has been posted with a sign. There's a photo up close that shows what it's written and it was advertised for this date, as well as far away as where it was positioned on the site. Okay.

33:23I'm having a quick question just about the sign. I thought the board adopted new signs.

33:30Yes, they did. So that came into effect using the new signs for any new applications that um starting January 1st. So starting January 1st, any new applications that is submitted, they will be using the new sign template. Um any applications that are currently going through the process to be consistent, they'll be using the our original. signs. So there will be a couple months grace period of where you'll probably be seeing both signs, um, but hopefully by March for any items going around that date, they Mm

34:00majority or or all of them will be transitioned over to the new signage template.

34:07Great.

34:08Thanks, Land.

34:11Okay. Barbara, do you have any other comments?

34:19I do not unless you have any questions for myself or my team.

34:28Yes.

34:28I was just looking this up. Just as a background, um whenever Barbara does these I get notified like I don't know, this was back in August. So we have you know, constantly going back and forth as far as Communication. But the um a multifamily with three hundred and sixty units Generate forty two elementary students, nineteen middle school and Twenty five high school. Seems a lot of people think that okay, three hundred sixty units is gonna be like three hundred and sixty kids, but it's not. It's that's the how our generation rate rates work. And the way they do work is we

34:58l we have all the information on where the students are in for a multifamily unit. We actually have all that data. So the generation rates are based on real data that is out there in Pasco County. So also this would affect Mary Giella Elementary, which currently has capacity Cruise Lake Middle, which currently has capacity, and Hudson High, which also currently currently has capacity. So Um there's no issues from RN.

35:27Yeah.

35:29Thank you, Mr. Tannell.

35:32Thank you. All right. Do I hear a motion? Motion to approve PC five. Second.

35:39Any further discussion on the motion? All in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. We're giving it.

35:52All right.
