8 Member Nelson commented on why she supported a moratorium, which was due to concerns on the location of where dispensaries might be located. It was her understanding that the State may not address the location of dispensaries until the next legislative cycle. Member Diesel expressed concern on where marijuana dispensaries might be located. He also commented on the most recent election and voter approval of medical marijuana. Vice-Mayor Barringer commented on his views on the State s actions on medical marijuana, concerns about Home Rule powers utilized by local governments, zoning, etc. Mayor Johnson noted that Federal Law did not legalize marijuana. He supported extending the moratorium until the City could gather as much information as possible, in order to offset or avoid any unintended consequences. Member Stoeckel supported these sentiments. Member Nelson commented on the State s regulation on the number of dispensaries that might be allowed within large defined regions within the State. She was uncertain how great the odds were for a business owner in Titusville to be authorized to open a medical marijuana dispensary immediately, given there could be a competition amongst businesses in these larger regions. Member Diesel and City Attorney Broome discussed Member Diesel s questions on the City enacting regulations in the near future, and what issues this might cause if the State eventually gave cities more control in their regulations. Discussion ensued on aligning a moratorium sunset date with pending draft regulations that might allow or ban marijuana dispensaries. Community Development Director Busacca noted that medical treatment centers were also in the pool of businesses that might be granted permission by the State to dispense medical marijuana. She also advised that one medical marijuana dispensary had opened in Palm Bay and two in Orlando. The City of Satellite Beach had also approved allowing dispensaries in their City. Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing. Nadur Jerusbalmy, a visitor from Israel and former chief of security in his country, advised that he liked Titusville and planned to stay for six months. He commented on security concerns related to marijuana in his home country and felt that marijuana did not cause disruptive behavior as did other forms of drugs or alcohol that people might use to self-medicate. Mr. Jerusbalmy felt it was important to educate children as well as provide medical marijuana to those that qualified and needed this form of medication. Kathleen Marinelli felt the State was reluctant to allow medical marijuana, even though approximately 70% of Florida voters approved it during the last election. She desired Titusville to be a leader and not a follower when it came to allowing the use of medical marijuana. The reasons why included the importance of having compassion, some people could immediately benefit from the use of medical marijuana, such as those with epilepsy, Parkinson s Disease, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, cancer, etc. Additionally, Ms. Marinelli commented on how cigarettes and opiates Page 8 of 16

9 drugs could kill individuals. She advised there was a generation s old fear that still persisted in the minds of many that marijuana was a gateway drug and could kill or seriously harm individuals. Brief discussion ensued on distance requirements from schools or churches and Charlotte s Law that allowed some form of medical marijuana to be prescribed to individuals, etc. Ray Haskell was in disbelief that the City had not made progress on their decisions about medical marijuana. He commented on how conventional cancer treatments were debilitating to individuals and which caused them to suffer with severe pain and physical decline during terminal illnesses. Mr. Haskell requested Council allow medical marijuana in the City. Curt Leady commented on the studies on the advantages and disadvantages of medical marijuana were not under debate; the State was reluctant to allow medical marijuana to citizens; giving relief to patients suffering crippling medical conditions; how individuals suffered with unnecessary pain and discomfort caused by disease and subsequent and conventional medical treatments. Member Nelson moved to give Mr. Leady two additional minutes to speak. Vice-Mayor Barringer seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Mr. Leady continued and commented on how individuals that he knew could benefit from medical marijuana. For these reasons, he requested Council to end the moratorium and implement an ordinance allowing medical marijuana. Vice-Mayor Barringer and Community Development Director Busacca discussed that if the City took the approach of regulating pharmacies that might dispense medical marijuana, this would impact a substantial amount of pharmacies already in existence. This might also cause some pharmacies to become non-conforming to the City s rules. If the Council made the decision to simply either prohibit or allow medical marijuana, this would take less time by staff to draft regulations. It was estimated that staff needed until January 2017 to draft regulations, which included guidance from the City Attorney and draft regulations. Discussion ensued on individuals suffering from conventional medical treatment used to treat terminal illnesses; individuals committing crimes in order to get prescription pain pills versus fewer that commit crime to get marijuana; educating children; individuals still found ways to get marijuana, but it did not seem to expand into epidemic use in society; the State not giving the City opportunity to make decisions on these matters, etc. There were no additional persons that wished to speak; therefore the public hearing was closed. Member Nelson summarized that at least three individual Council members desired an ordinance that would allow dispensaries and where they might be located. This might include some regulations on pharmacies. Community Development Director Busacca advised that staff could not return to Council with options until a future meeting or at least until January Page 9 of 16

City Manager Larese highlighted the report in the Council s agenda packet. The applicant, William Alcock on behalf of the owner, Fox Lake Hammock, LLC, was requesting to amend the land use on approximately acres and rezone approximately acres of two properties totaling approximately 48 acres located east of South Street (State Road 405) and north of Fox Lake Road. The request was to amend the land use map from the Conservation land use designation to the High Density Residential land use designation. The request also proposed to rezone a portion of property from the Multifamily High Density Residential (R-3), Multifamily Medium Density Residential (R-2), and Open Space and Recreation (OR) zoning district to Planned Development (PD) zoning with Master Plan for purposes of constructing a new residential subdivision with 61 lots. The lots would be a minimum 50-feet wide and 6,000 square feet in area. The PD zoning required 35% of the acre development to be dedicated to open space. The portions of the property not included within the PD zoning were wetlands, which would be dedicated to the St. Johns River Water Management District with a conservation easement. Page 10 of 16

11 Community Development Director Busacca highlighted the staff report that was provided in the Council agenda packet. Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing. The applicant, William Alcock, summarized details about the project and that staff found the project to be consistent with the City s Codes and the Comprehensive Plan. Rodney Honeycutt, on behalf of the applicant, advised that staff worked closely with he and the applicant to ensure compliance with regulations. He requested Council approve the proposed ordinances and Master Plan. Roy Ponce, on behalf of the proposed project, commented on the need for the proposed housing project. Kathleen Burson advised that she would speak for some of her neighbors that submitted public speaking cards. If Council was agreeable, she requested having additional time to speak. There was no objection from Council. Kathleen Burson distributed information to Council. She advised that a few of her neighbors lived on one acre lots adjacent to the subject property. Ms. Burson read from a prepared statement that highlighted concerns about birds, various species of wildlife, wetlands, forested land that she believed was not intended for development, ecosystems, the relationship between conservation land use areas and uplands, the negative effects that might occur if the proposed development was built, other projects near the subject property, etc. Ms. Burson requested Council leave the property that was designated as Open Space and Recreation (OR) intact, which she felt would not cause impacts to her neighbors and wetlands on and near the subject site. Pamela Gheen and Jennifer Gheen submitted public speaking cards, but did not speak. The applicant, William Alcock, rebutted and responded to some of the concerns expressed by the public. He reviewed information on the portion(s) of the subject property that was currently zoned as Open Space and Recreation (OR) zoning, including that once upon the time, the City may have designated the OR zoning using aerial maps versus ground-truthing equipment. This was a common practice to preserve wetland areas, until at a later date, more specific wetland determination analysis could be performed to more accurately identify wetland and upland areas. Mr. Alcock advised that the development would take place only in the upland areas. Second, Mr. Alcock advised that the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) required a minimum 15-foot buffer or an average 25-foot buffer between wetland areas and development. His project would provide a minimum 25-foot buffer. Then, approximately 50% of the upland areas were planned for development and not the entirety. Per Mr. Alcock, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the SJRWMD had approved the applicant s plans for the buffers. He would also get a permit to relocate any gopher tortoises. Page 11 of 16

12 Council discussion ensued on the size of the buffers and natural upland areas; methodologies used by staff during the review of the project; and updating maps with new information. As there were no additional persons that wished to speak, Mayor Johnson closed the public hearing. Mayor Johnson advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, had recommended approval, 5-0. Member Nelson and City Attorney Broome discussed the procedure or type of evidence that Council should use to make their decision. If the Council voted to deny the requests, the burden would shift to the Council to state the basis for denial, but which would require the Council to identify the provisions in the Comprehensive Plan and Code that were not consistent with the requests and why denial met a public purpose. Vice-Mayor Barringer moved to approve Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application (SSA) No and related Ordinance No , as recommended. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion and the roll call was: Member Nelson Mayor Johnson Vice-Mayor Barringer Member Stoeckel Member Diesel The motion carried unanimously.
