if the column we've started probably if we've already started public comment that's called after we're done okay okay yeah that's fine i'd rather that be then anyway we're trying to work you give me one more of these good just the card thanks i have too many people in the audience that's good okay somebody get the party started everybody ready ready mike ready okay i'm ready good afternoon i have now called back to order the pasco county board of county commission meeting of november 9th 2021 a reminder to everyone please silence all electronic devices and mutual microphones okay at this time we're going to start this time for public hearing agenda starting with ordinances and we start with p81 yes mr chair p-81 81 was published in the tampa times on october 6 2021. good afternoon commissioners denise hernandez item p81 is pde22007 on this item today there is no action required by the board of county commissioners this is the first reading on the item the adoption will be on december 7 2021 at 1 30 in newport richie let me read that read the title into record and go over what we're doing today it's an ordinance by the pasco county board of county commissioners amending the pasco county land development code chapter 200 decision-making bodies and officials section 204 planning commission amending the appointment of members and other sections as necessary for internal consistency providing for applicability repealer providing for severability inclusion to land development code and an effective date as you may recall the board of county commissioners on july 6 directed the planning and development department to modify section 204 so that each individual commissioner will appoint a planning commission member so that means there will be five appointments uh the term is to run concurrently with the commissioner's term and then there would be one at-large member selected by the majority of the board of county commissioners and that member would serve a four-year term so as you have probably discussed i believe you discussed earlier a bit about redistricting redistricting redistricting will occur prior to the end of the year uh the pc member appointments uh will be uh selected at a board of county commissioners meeting in january of 2022 and we have the effective date for this ordinance to be february 22nd 2022 that way it gives staff a sufficient time to contact the planning commission members because we expect that there will be new

3:41

new members on the planning commission and set up training and introduce them to their new roles uh this was presented to the local planning agency um and to the horizontal round table and there were no comments the local planning agency found it consistent with a comprehensive plan and recommended approval to the board of county commissioners again this is just the first reading on the item there is no action required today by you okay all right are you going to uh p 82 no no you still have to call for a public hearing oh public hearing is anyone here to uh speak to this item on p81 mr chair i don't have the sign up sheet and i can tell you that there is no ones um that is registered on webex for this item so no one here anyone in the audience that we should speak to this item seeing no one will move on to 82. sorry mr chair they just said that no one signed up okay thank you p82 item p82 was published in the tampa times on october 6 2021. denise hernandez planning and development uh p82 is pdd220010 again this is also similar to p81 that this is the first reading on the item this item is set for adoption on december 7 2021 at 1 30 in newport richie no no action is required by the board today i'll read this item into record it is an ordinance by the pasco county board of county commissioners amending the pasco county land development code chapter 500 zoning section 511 rmh mobile home park district section 515 r2 low density residential district section 516 r3 medium density residential district section 527 commercial light manufacturing district section 528 i1 light industrial park district section 529 i2 general industrial park district section 530 supplemental regulations renaming subsection to 530.14 reserved to outdoor illumination limits chapter 900 um development standards section 901 transportation subsection 901.4 substandard roadway analysis mitigation appendix a definitions and other sections as necessary for internal consistency providing for applicability repealer providing for severability inclusion into land development code and an effective date so this is a set of package amendments um it's amendment 52 to the land development code these amendments were presented to the horizontal round table and interested parties meeting on august 18 2021 and october 20th 2021 so going through the sections um many of these changes are based on um unintended consequences from prior amendments so the first one is chapter 500 section 511 rmh mobile home district this section adds setbacks for single family detached dwellings it's an unintended

6:33

consequence from the ldc amendment 27 so right now it just shows setbacks for mobile homes but not for single family detached dwelling so that's been incorporated into the item um sections chapters 500 zoning section 515 r2 low density residential district and 500 5 16 r3 they're similar so we received a phone call from a person that was part of the homeowners association for a piece of property that was r3 who wanted to do a hoa clubhouse and the district does not allow it neither by um permitted use nor by special exception use our four district allows it so we wanted to for r3 r2 and r3 to uh be exactly what r4 allows because those are also communities albeit larger lots greater lot widths but you should still be able to do the same things um the next section c3 i1 and i2 these are basically unintended consequences from the land development code amendment that was done in 2020 where we um had um boat and rv storage facilities so what we did is in in amendment 8 which was in 2014 we took the word mini warehouse out of that definition by taking that word out of that definition that was allowing boat and rv storage and self-storage facilities in c3i1 and i2 so as you see further along in this presentation we're putting the word mini warehouse and putting the word rv and both storage back into the definition so what we're doing through this amendment is to allow it by special exception use so not the self not the actual self storage facility but the actual freestanding rv and boat storage facility because that doesn't require a lot of infrastructure and a lot of building and that's maybe a a temporary use that can occur on a piece of property that zone c3 i1 or i2 the following section is chapter 900 development standards section 901 transportation this was very well vetted through the horizontal round table the od the ordnance development team and also through the subject matter experts transportation planners and transportation engineers that removes our arterial roadways from applicable facilities removes 80 20 percent rule defines new exemptions from mitigation and analysis for projects impacting collector and local roadways it changes the section designee from county engineer to county administrator or designee and it changes the mitigation as it relates to collector and local roads additionally it defines a time limit for using the collected fair share it revises exhibit 901-4 for consistency with the ite trip generation manual finally um appendix a definitions uh because that outdoor lighting section was created which i haven't talked about that let me go back there in section 530 um the board of county commissioners directed staff on um april 7th and on may 18th to create a

9:38

section having to do with light intrusion into neighboring yards so we created that section 530.14 which is now called outdoor lighting illumination limits going back to appendix a since we created that section it does have a lot of terms that were not previously defined in our land development code so we're defining those terms which are outdoor lighting foot candles full oblique shielding so on and so forth additionally an appendix a definitions as i mentioned before the warehouse definition it returns mini warehouse exclusion to the definition and add self-storage facilities as they are now called and those are resulting from land development code amendments 8 and 42. um again today there's no action required on this this was presented to the local planning agency on october 28 2021 who found it consistent with the comprehensive plan and recommended um approval to the board of county commissioners okay this is public hearing uh madam clerk's everyone signed up no one is signed up in person and no one is on webex mr chairman yes do a little discussion on it yes all right can we wait let me finish it anyone in the audience wish to speak to this item in order that have not had a chance to sign up for a see a no-one discussion thank you denise in the very first part um for rh mobile home districts um part of it's done along the coast as you saw today we had a discussion about the coast how i think it needs to be looked at a little bit differently and now that we're allowing in these districts rather than changing all the zonings keeping them rmh but allowing for single family what i don't want to do is most of these homes are going to come in they're going to want pilings they're going to be up and up in the air high uh i don't want to penalize someone who might have a smaller lot where all of a sudden they have to set the thing back when they could set it up in a normal way does that is this going to affect that at all not at all actually the setbacks for rmh the when we did them for houses they're identical as they would be from mobile home which would be fifteen five and five so fifteen front five side five rear or twenty front five side five rear so no change no change at all no perfect thank you now we made it identical to the way it is for a mobile home excellent thank you thank you but any other questions okay um no action required so we'll move on to uh p83 item p83 was published in the tampa times on october 6 2021 p83 is pdd22004 it's a small scale comprehensive plan amendment to the future land use maps map 2-15 and sheet
