No disposition in the minutes
The approved minutes do not say what became of this item. That is a gap in the record, not a decision. It is the normal state for 24% of items. Most of those are regular business and board reports that the minutes do not dispose of in writing. This archive never infers an outcome from the fact that someone called a vote.

Sure. We'll go over the consent items. I do want to say on this this first item, which is PC1, it was advertised for a continuance, but we do have Mr. Dukowitz um at the public comment kiosk. So I will read the item into record. And it is a request for continuance. The item is PDD 217506. It's a zoning amendment for trust number 7541207 Land Service Corporation Trustee for a change in zoning from AR
Agricultural Residential District, AC Agricultural District, and C2 General Commercial District to a C2 General Commercial District and an I1 Light District. Industrial park district. Again, the recommendation is a continuance to the January 7th, 2021 Planning Commission. Meeting at 130 in Dade City. Um Not sure if uh Mr. Dirkowitz, uh who is at the uh kiosk, uh would like to speak. Um I believe that and and
David might want to chime in if he is allowed. I'm not sure if he would be allowed to speak today or if he would speak then at the next planning commission meeting.
So if he wants to speak today, the Planning Commission does not have to let him speak at the next Planning Commission meeting. So Um It's really up to Mr Dukowitz as to whether he wants to speak today or at the next meeting.
But today it'd be fine.
Okay,
uh
Mr.
Dirk
Wayne. You understand
you you understand that you may not be able to speak at the next meeting, correct?
Hold up.
Okay.
Okay, Mr Dirkway, are you the applicant or are you
I'm here in a representative uh capacity for one of the landowners, Cynthia Dukwitz.
Okay.
Okay, if you can just um state your name, your address, and the item number and the clerk will swear you in.
And we'll swear in. Okay, thank
you.
Now attorney Ed Dukowitz, uh in representative capacity for Cynthia Dukowitz, uh my address is [address removed], as is hers. Uh zip code 33523.
Sir, do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, so help you God. I do. Thank you.
I'm here to voice opposition to any zoning change to this area. First off, uh the zoning change requested and been approved along the line is inconsistent with the with the uh county plan. with the comprehensive plan. Secondly, uh your own uh compatibility chart that's found in the comprehensive plan does not find compatibility in the zoning requested with the surrounding area. In fact, it specifically exempts the Northeast
section from a transitional zoning. Uh thirdly. The property uh sought to be rezoned is protected under the uh the northeast uh quadrant overlay and it's supposed to be maintained in a rural area. What you're doing here, what you're asked to do, is spot zoning plain and simple. You're asked to rezone a piece of agricultural property, which is surrounded by agricultural property. Except for the employment center. uh as to resonate it to light
industrial. Um Your own um Policy uh Which is uh uh
Fala C section FLUA7 commercial nodes limits the commercial development to 660 feet square along the roadside and going back. And what you're doing, what you're done here or what you're asked to do here. is to rezone a huge chunk of property, probably to a tune of about 45 acres, as commercial. That's not allowed under your own comprehensive plan, but under your own future land use requirements. Also
there's an except there's uh that policy refers to 1.6.1, which talks about commercial development in land that was already zone commercial. This was not. There are only eight pieces of property in the county that are considered employment centers. This is a specific zoning. for a specific use, what you're asked to do here is to destroy them. Now is that the two-minute warning? Okay. So uh what I'm saying here is that
if you go ahead and do this, what you're doing is opening the door for commercial and industrial development in the entire Northeast section. Because you, in good faith, cannot argue later on that this is just a limited application. It's not. You're sticking commercial zoning and industrial zone. in the heart of Northeast Rural Pasco County. What you're doing is you're destroying it. Now you'll move on and you'll move out of state, but everybody else is going to be stuck here with a bad decision
on this item. Thank you.
Okay, thank you, Mr. Dirk Witz, for your uh input there. And uh as uh Denise indicated at the beginning and as indicated on the agenda, this item Is um scheduled for a continuance, so it will be reheard. Um looks like they're asking for requesting a continuance to January 7th. Is that an applicant requested continuance, Denise? Or
it's an applicant requested continuance, January 7, 2021, 130 in Dade City. Okay.
So
I
prepare. We have limited information at this point. So We will hear it again. Go ahead, David.
Um, even though it's a continuance item, I still think the applicant should have a chan opportunity to speak. to what was said, if they want to, or they can just rebut Yeah. If the applicant's online, I don't want them to not have an opportunity to We bought it if they want to.
Okay. Is the applicant present?
Got it. The applicant Barbara Wilhide is virtually present.
Planning Commission members, this is Barbara Wilheit, 6327 Perm uh Grand Boulevard, New Port Richey Florida, 34652. Um We will I have taken notes of um of what's the uh neighbor, um I guess representing his wife um has set stated and uh we will be prepared to uh to address um any of those concerns at the actual hearing that we're requesting occur on January seventh.
Okay, does she need to be sworn in?
I she may have wo unless she was already sworn yes. No problem.
I don't I don't think we've sworn any more.
Yeah, I don't think we swore anybody in.
I don't think we saw any sword anymore. do you want to do that now?
Two minutes.
Yeah, I mean if if you intend to give any testimony or if you intend to give any presentation during the meeting, if you can raise your right hand and the clerk will swear you in.
Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, so help you God. I do. Thank you.
Okay. Thank you, Barbara. Thank you, Commissioner. Okay, and as it can as the only continuance item, do we need to vote on this item separately or can we keep it on the consent agenda?
I think you should vote on it separately. Because it's not really a consent approval, it's a continuum.
Continuance, right? Is there anything else from the uh Up here from the board. Or motion to continue?
Motion to continue PC one.
Chris Pool. Roberto Saez.
Okay, if there's no further discussion, uh we'll do a roll call vote.
Mr. Chairman Mariano Michael Cox.
Oh yeah,
go ahead. Uh under discussion, David, do you have any comment on um Well the gentleman in the kiosk said there is any public comment.
Well I may or may not have comment, but it really it's the applicants um duty to show consistency with the comp plan. So I would really need Barbara to Make that argument. Well she intends to do at the next hearing. So I If I have time if I think there's anything wrong with what Barbara says, I will weigh in at that time. But for now I would go to the applicant.
Okay. I'm I'm happy. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
