OLD BUSINESS Case Number P-16-18: Administrative request to amend language contained in the Winter Haven Code of Ordinances, Chapter 21, Article IX and Article II, Table 21-32(A) by removing Section , Drinking Establishments or Nightclubs in its entirety; adding a new section within Article II for Drinking Establishments; providing for amended and new definitions; and adding new uses to the Table of Land Uses. Eric Labbe gave an overview of the request via a slideshow presentation. BACKGROUND Approximately five years ago, and in response to public concern regarding drinking establishments, both existing and proposed, the City Commission began imposing certain specific conditions to all requests for Conditional Use approval for new Drinking Establishments or Nightclubs. Those conditions typically included are as follows:

3 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, The bar operator shall remain in full compliance with all fire, building, and noise codes at all times. 2. The owner/operator of the bar/lounge shall be required to provide on-site security for crowd control from 9:00 pm until closing. The plan for on-site security shall be approved by the City of Winter Haven Police Department, on an as needed basis, as determined by the Chief of Police or authorized designee and the sole and absolute discretion of the same. 3. Outdoor Area. Outdoor music (includes singing, acoustical instruments, and radio/cd) shall be permitted until 12:00 am (midnight). Outdoor performances by live bands and televisions or other screens visible from any street or public sidewalk shall not be permitted. Any allowed televisions or screens shall be turned off by 12:00 am ( midnight) and shall not produce noise beyond the portion of the property subject to this request. 4. If (a) the operator of the establishment changes; (b) the permittee/licensee on the proposed use s alcohol license changes; ( c) ownership and control of any corporate owner of the proposed use changes; or (d) all or part of the property subject to the use permit is sold, the Special/Conditional Use Approval shall require review by the Planning Commission. 5. If the proposed Special/Conditional Use permit is approved by the City Commission, the Use permit shall be evaluated by the Planning Commission after six (6) months of operation. In order to facilitate Planning Commission review, no earlier than four (4) months from the date of approval, City staff will conduct an evaluation of the operation of the establishment to determine if it is operating within anticipated parameters. The evaluation shall include, but not be limited to, traffic counts, noise, police call counts, and any other information necessary to complete the review. Once the information is compiled, City staff shall submit the results of the evaluation to the Planning Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting for consideration and extension of the duration of the proposed use. The Planning Commission shall utilize the evaluation criteria found in of the City s Code of Ordinances in order to determine whether the proposed use may be continued past the duration set herein. The Planning Commission may, in its discretion, continue the proposed use for a limited period of time, continue the proposed use indefinitely or decline to continue the proposed use permit. Should the Planning Commission decide to continue the proposed use permit, the Planning Commission may add to or delete from this list of special conditions. The order of the Planning Commission as to continuance of the proposed use permit shall be final. 6. Failure to comply with the above conditions will be cause for revocation of the Special Use Approval by the Planning Commission and the Conditional Use Permit. Subsequently, the imposition of these conditions has raised new concerns and objections. The items of most concern are conditions # 4 and # 5. Specifically, these conditions impose particularly onerous regulations that may impair a business or property owners ability to sell or transfer ownership of their establishment. Additional public and staff concerns regarding the City s current regulation of drinking establishments have been expressed in recent years including: The separation requirement from churches and schools for restaurants that serve alcohol; The lack of available relief from the required separation from churches and schools; Regulatory conflict in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) regarding the appropriate authorizing body; Drinking establishments as accessory uses; Various code conflicts with respect to uses and definitions; Land use regulations located in two different chapters of the City s Code of Ordinances; Lack of distinction between uses of varying intensity; and Lack of performance criteria. 2

4 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 NOTIFICATION All public notification requirements for this request were met. CONCLUSION The proposed amendments to Chapter 3 and Chapter 21 of the ULDC, including Table 21-32(A) and Article IX, will accomplish the following: Exempt bona fide restaurants from the separation requirement from churches and schools, and establish that certain uses may include the sale of alcoholic beverages as an accessory use; Provide that the Development Special Magistrate may grant a variance to the separation requirement provided that the criteria for granting a variance is demonstrated; Correct existing code conflict and clarify whether the proposed drinking establishment requires Special Use approval or Conditional Use approval; Add new uses to Table 21-32(A) as well as new and modified definitions to Article IX; Aggregate land use regulations with respect to drinking establishments into one chapter of the ULDC; Define and differentiate between drinking establishment uses of varying size and potential impact; and Establish performance criteria, including the requirement for a security plan and clear provisions outlining the grounds and process for the revocation of a Special Use or Conditional Use approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the text amendments to the ULDC and their forwarding to the City Commission for final action Chairman Lockhart asked the Commissioners if there were any questions for staff. Commissioner Lane asked if the proposed changes were reviewed by the Winter Haven Police Department. Mr. Labbe stated that the Winter Haven Police Department assisted in the writing and review of the security plan section. Commissioner Lane asked if the proposed changes will still require a 6-month review by the Planning Commission. Mr. Labbe stated that the review would not be required because the performance standards will be put into the Code. Mr. Bishop added that if an establishment is following the standards in Code then there is no need for a review. Commissioners discussed the proposed change that allows for a variance process for the distance separation requirement from churches and schools. Chairman Lockhart asked the Commissioners if there were any other questions for staff. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart closed the Planning Commission meeting and opened the public hearing asking anyone wishing to speak for or against this request come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Jessie Skubna of 10 Lake Link Drive, Winter Haven, FL, and hereafter known as Citizen Jessie stated her concerns with not treating drinking establishments and restaurants that serve alcohol since there is no difference in liability. Citizen Jessie shared her concerns with regulating restaurants that act as a nightclub after a certain time. Citizen Jessie also stated her concerns with lack of enforcement and regulation of conditions. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. 3

5 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 Robbie Loftus of 10 Lake Link Drive, Winter Haven, FL, and hereafter known as Citizen Robbie stated he was opposed to the variance process for distance separation. Citizen Robbie stated that drinking establishments should do their due diligence to find a location within the correct perimeters. The Commissioners discussed the possibility of setting a maximum percentage to the reduction of the separation requirement that could be allowed in a variance. Chairman Lockhart stated he would support setting a cap to prevent extreme requests. Commissioner Trimarche stated he opposed the limiting of the variance because it infringed on citizen s rights to due process. Mr. Bishop stated that any church that would be affected by the variance request would be notified and be given the opportunity to speak at the public hearing. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Jennifer Harrison of 2345 East Lake Hartridge Drive, Winter Haven, FL, and hereafter known as Citizen Jennifer stated she has had trouble finding a new location to expand her café due to the separation requirements. Citizen Jennifer stated that she is in support of the proposed changes that allow for restaurants to be exempt from the separation requirement as well as allow for the variance process for drinking establishments. Discussion ensued between Commissioners and Staff regarding restaurant exemption to separation requirements. Mr. Bishop stated that Staff s research of other ordinances resulted in about 95% exempting bona-fide restaurants from separation requirements. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart re-opened the Planning Commission meeting and asked if the Commissioners had any questions for staff. Hearing and seeing none, Chairman Lockhart asked for a motion to be made regarding Case Number P Motion was made by Commissioner Trimarche for the approval of Case Number P Commissioner Fuller seconded the motion. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. 7. NEW BUSINESS Chairman Lockhart asked everyone wishing to speak for or against any case on the agenda, stand and be sworn in by Heather Reuter. Case Number P S: Request by Kevin Blackman for Special Use Approval for a group home to be located on a parcel in the Multi-family Residential (R-3) zoning district. General Location: 804 Avenue T, NE. The area covered by this request is 0.37± acres. Eric Labbe gave an overview of the request via a slideshow presentation. Mr. Labbe stated for the record that all notification requirements were met. BACKGROUND Kevin Blackman requests the City grant Special Use approval to allow a group home at a residence currently under construction at 804 Avenue T, NE. The subject parcel is located along the south side of Avenue T, NE, east of 8th Street, NE, north of Sears Avenue, NE, and northwest of Lake 4

6 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 Idyl. The parcel consists of an approximately 2,261-square foot residential structure with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, on 0.37± acres. The owner indicates that the original intended use of the structure was as a bed and breakfast. The proposed use is as a group home with between 6 and 12 beds. Based on a 12-bed group home, up to 1,620 (12 beds x 135 gallons) gallons of potable water consumption and 1,426 (12 beds x 135 gallons x 0.88) gallons of wastewater treatment capacity will be required on a daily basis. Adequate capacity exists in both systems to accommodate the petitioner s proposed group home. As the ITE Trip Generation Manual- 8th Edition does not provide data on group homes, studies on assisted living facilities were used for this analysis. Based on the ITE Manual s data for an assisted living facility, a 12-bed group home can be expected to generate up to 5 (12 beds x 0.38 trips) peak-hour trips onto the surrounding roadway network. Currently, with 315 peak-hour trips, Avenue T, NE is operating at 39.8% of its capacity of 792 peak-hour trips. Avenue T, NE currently has sufficient capacity to accommodate the petitioner s group home. SURROUNDING USES Surrounding uses include Avenue T, NE and the Winter Haven Recreation Center to the north, single family residences to the west and south, and a multi-family residential building to the east. Policy of the Winter Haven Comprehensive Plan states that the City shall, Maintain and implement land development regulations that define the standards and criteria for the use, density, intensity and compatibility of land, water, and adjacent land and water uses. Staff has concerns with respect to the proposed use and adjacent uses. In particular, the intensity and potential for short term occupancy may not be compatible with the character of the surrounding predominantly single-family residential community. NOTIFICATION All public notification requirements for this request were met. CONCLUSION Group homes are intended to provide a family living environment including supervision and care necessary to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of its residents. The locations of group homes are regulated by local government zoning law. Licensing and operation are regulated by Florida Statutes and the Florida Administrative Code. Appropriate screening and landscape buffering will reduce off-site impacts and improve compatibility with surrounding uses. RECOMMENDATION Staff does not object to the granting of the Special Use provided the following conditions are applied: 1. The proposed use shall be properly licensed under Chapter 393 Florida Statutes and Chapter 65G of the Florida Administrative Code and obtain all necessary State approvals prior to accepting any residents. 2. The applicant shall install a type C landscape buffer adjacent to Avenue T, NE. 3. The applicant shall install a type D landscape buffer with a 6-foot opaque privacy fence along the western, southern and eastern property boundaries. The buffer along the east property line may be reduced to 5 feet in width along the eastern elevation of the existing structure. 4. The applicant shall provide a minimum of 8 paved off-street parking spaces, including one physically disabled parking space. 5. The applicant shall submit for site plan review to demonstrate compliance with the above conditions and the requirements of the Unified Land Development Code. 5

7 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 Chairman Lockhart asked the Commissioners if there were any questions for staff. Commissioner Fuller asked if there is a draft site plan. Mr. Labbe stated that the residence under construction on the property has been constructed under a single-family permit. Mr. Labbe stated that if the Special Use is approved, commercial site plan approval will be needed for the property. Chairman Lockhart asked if there is currently any on-site parking. Mr. Labbe stated there is currently no paved on-site parking. Commissioner Lane asked what type of residents would be allowed in this group home. Mr. Labbe stated that the applicant has not indicated as to the type of group home he plans to operate. Chairman Lockhart asked the Commissioners if there were any other questions for staff. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart closed the Planning Commission meeting and opened the public hearing asking anyone wishing to speak for or against this request come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Lottie Tucker of 901 Avenue T, NE, Winter Haven, FL, and hereafter known as Citizen Lottie stated her concerns about not specifying what type of group home it will be; her concerns about the constant change in plans from single-family, bed and breakfast, and now group home; and her concerns about the effect on the community. Citizen Lottie asked the Commissioners to deny this request. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Kevin Blackman of 2456 Mary Jewett Circle, Winter Haven, FL, and hereafter known as Applicant stated he originally constructed the residence as a bed and breakfast, but decided he wanted to give back to the community through a group home use. Applicant stated he is working on a plan with Heartland for Children to help provide life skills to those who are in foster care or have aged out of foster care. Discussion ensued between Applicant and Mr. Claytor about 501(c)3 status of the entity that would be operating the proposed group home. Applicant stated he intends to file paperwork, but has not submitted it yet. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart re-opened the Planning Commission meeting and asked if the Commissioners had any questions for staff. Mr. Bishop read into the record an received from Commissioner Isaac-Napper ( see Attachment A ). Mr. Claytor stated that the should not be construed as any kind of vote and/or action by the absent Commissioner and any vote should be based on the evidence and testimony provided in the public hearing. Chairman Lockhart asked if the Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for the residence. Mr. Labbe stated to his knowledge it has not been issued. Discussion ensued regarding whether a group home is more of a residential use or commercial use. 6

8 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 Commissioner Lane asked about the type of supervision and services that will be provided. Mr. Bishop stated that those requirements are regulated by the State of Florida. Discussion ensued regarding the Applicant not providing an established plan for the group home. The Commissioners discussed tabling the request until the Applicant can provide more information. Chairman Lockhart asked if the Commissioners had any other questions for staff. Hearing and seeing none, Chairman Lockhart asked for a motion to be made regarding Case Number P S. Motion was made by Vice-Chair Hemenway to table Case Number P S until the Applicant provides more information. Commissioner Fuller seconded the motion. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. Case Number P-17-01: Request by Robert J. Stambaugh, agent for Eloise M. Bush, to rezone a parcel from Single-family Residential (R-2) zoning district to Office Professional OP) zoning district. General Location: 604 Piedmont Avenue, SE. The area covered by this request is 0.32± acres. Sean Byers gave an overview of the request via a slideshow presentation. Mr. Byers stated for the record that all notification requirements were met. BACKGROUND Robert J. Stambaugh requests the City rezone a parcel from Single-family Residential (R-2) zoning district to Office Professional (OP) zoning district. The parcel is located at 604 Piedmont Drive, SE and consists of a 2,040-square foot office building and parking on 0.32± acres. The office building was originally constructed in 1967, as a residence, and was converted to an office sometime in the early 1980s. The use of the property as an accounting office became non-conforming in 2000 as a result of adopting new land development regulations in order to comply with the Comprehensive Plan in effect at the time. Approximately 9 years ago the accounting office closed, resulting in forfeiture of the right to continue using the property as an office. Last year, the property owner received an offer to sell the property to new owners seeking to use the property as a daycare. In order to operate a daycare after the extended vacancy, some form of commercial zoning was required; however, in June, 2015, the City Commission voted not to approve a request to rezone the property to Neighborhood Commercial (C-2). OP zoning is now being requested for this parcel as it will allow the previous office use while at the same time transitioning from the more intensive Highway Commercial (C-3) zoning assigned to the properties fronting Sixth Street, SE. As the OP zoning district is consistent with the Primary Activity Center Future Land Use assigned to the property, a Future Land Use amendment is not necessary. Due to the small size of the parcel, and prior use as an office, impacts to utilities and surrounding roadway network as a result of this request, are expected to be minimal. SURROUNDING USES Surrounding uses include single-family residences to the east, apartment buildings to the north and south, and a 10,304-square foot retail plaza to the west. The subject parcel serves as a transitional property between the commercialized Sixth Street, SE and Cypress Gardens Boulevard corridors located a short distance to the west and south, respectively and the established single-family neighborhood which extends several blocks to the east. 7

9 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The subject parcel is designated Primary Activity Center on the 2025 Future Land Use Map. The requested OP zoning is consistent with the Primary Activity Center Future Land Use. NOTIFICATION All public notification requirements for these requests were met. CONCLUSION For a 25-year period between the early 1980s, and mid-2000s, the subject property was used as an office that was legally permitted when it was opened. As a result of zoning text and map changes necessitated by goals, objectives, and policies in the 1991 Comprehensive Plan, the use of this property as an office became non-conforming in To now use this property for residential purposes, will require substantial changes to the existing structure and site. Given the current design of the structure, and presence of a commercial parking lot, the most practical use for this property is a low-intensity commercial use such as an office, to transition the higher intensity commercial uses located to the west to the residential uses. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve this request and forward to the City Commission for final action. Chairman Lockhart asked the Commissioners if there were any questions for staff. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart closed the Planning Commission meeting and opened the public hearing asking anyone wishing to speak for or against this request come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Bob Stambaugh of 99 Sixth Street, SW, Winter Haven, FL, and hereafter known as Agent stated he was available for any questions. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart re-opened the Planning Commission meeting and asked if the Commissioners had any questions for staff. Hearing and seeing none, Chairman Lockhart asked for a motion to be made regarding Case Number P Motion was made by Vice-Chair Hemenway to approve Case Number P Commissioner Fuller seconded the motion. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. Case Number P-17-02: Request by Panda Restaurant Group to rezone a parcel from Planned Unit Development ( PUD) zoning district to Highway Commercial ( C-3) zoning district. General Location: 301 Cypress Gardens Boulevard. The area covered by this request is 1.18± acres. Eric Labbe gave an overview of the request via a slideshow presentation. Mr. Labbe stated for the record that all notification requirements were met. BACKGROUND The petitioner, Panda Restaurant Group, requests the City rezone a parcel from Planned Unit Development ( PUD) zoning district to Highway Commercial ( C-3) zoning district. The parcel is located at 301 Cypress Gardens Boulevard and consists of a 3,281-square foot restaurant constructed in 1990, stormwater retention areas, and parking on 1.18± acres. The petitioner 8

10 Planning Commission Meeting December 6, 2016 proposes to demolish the existing restaurant and redevelop the site with a new restaurant, parking, and stormwater management areas. This requested zoning change is necessary to address a lack of clear development requirements set forth by PUD Ordinance O Ordinance O was approved in 2004, and amended several previous PUDs covering the petitioner s property and the adjoining Colonial Promenade Shopping Center. In 2010, the portion of Ordinance O covering the shopping center was amended and is now covered by Ordinance O As a result of this change and other amendments over the years, clear development standards for the out-parcels, including the petitioner s, have become difficult to determine. SURROUNDING USES Surrounding uses include the Colonial Promenade Shopping Center to the north; a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant to the east; a mixture of retail, office, restaurant, and automotive uses to the south; and the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep automotive dealership to the west. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The subject parcel is designated Primary Activity Center on the 2025 Future Land Use Map. The requested C-3 zoning is consistent with the Primary Activity Center Future Land Use. NOTIFICATION All public notification requirements for these requests were met. CONCLUSION The establishment of Highway Commercial ( C-3) zoning district upon the petitioner s property will clearly define appropriate development standards for the parcel. Highway Commercial (C-3) zoning is compatible with surrounding uses and the existing development pattern of the area. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve this request and forward to the City Commission for final action. Chairman Lockhart asked the Commissioners if there were any questions for staff. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart closed the Planning Commission meeting and opened the public hearing asking anyone wishing to speak for or against this request come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Arthur Hooks of 4600 West Cypress Street, Tampa, FL, and hereafter known as Agent stated he was available for any questions. Chairman Lockhart asked if there were anyone else wishing to speak for or against this request to come to the podium, sign in, and state their name and address for the record. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Lockhart re-opened the Planning Commission meeting and asked if the Commissioners had any questions for staff. Hearing and seeing none, Chairman Lockhart asked for a motion to be made regarding Case Number P Motion was made by Commissioner Trimarche to approve Case Number P Vice-Chairman Hemenway seconded the motion.
