solved I have written letters to the property owners with only one response that owner said they had tried to get them off but police told them he cannot put them off or he could go to jail we we have tried to get the health department to help with this these camps fall under Florida Statutes three 86.0 one for nuisance injurious to health Florida Statutes three 86.0 one sanitary nuisance Florida Statutes three 86.0 three notice to remove these live living conditions without proper waste removal cause major health concerns the Health Department came out one time and walked the area and said there were some camps but did not detect any odor or nuisance common sense tells us these people are going somewhere one trip out may not work Oh being asked is more help in correcting homeless problems and drug problems in this area the slow or no reaction to these problems is causing this area to go downhill fast but the taxpayers are going up the taxes are going up the county city and all commissioners need to work together we have this area and use the same ways to clean up other parts of the county Pasco is better than this let's make it happen Cheryl and Ron orchard thank you and I think we have some emails that are actually going to put into the record in addition to that that aren't going to be read is that correct yes sir all right that is correct so with that we'll move on to the consent agenda and I do have a pull sheet it's been updated so the pull sheet is first see 15 old revised C 16 withdraw C 18 pull and revised C 20 when revised c25 : revised lot today c25 : revised c36 fullen revised c52 poner of I see 58 full in robotics c64 withdraw see 70 withdraw he's 73 pulling revised and see 80 would be a withdraw for members do you have any other consent items that need to be pulled in this time Commissioner there's two more that we're late add C 6 T and C 61 or both withdrawal C 60 in 61 and C 61 okay thank you sir Commissioner Moore yes ma'am what was the first one that you said was it withdrawal I missed it the first one that's withdrawal I have a C 16 c16 okay thank you okay once again board members do we have anybody that would like to pull an item yes sir we approve all the other consent items okay the rainy consent agenda biking up picture oakley level ii jack toreano I've been second by Commissioner Mariano madam clerk please call the roll district 1 Commissioner Oakley I district 3 commissioner Starkey I district 4 Commissioner Wells district 5 Commission Oh Mariana I district 2 chairman more I booked some passes by zero thank you and we will move on to Ursuline c15 on County Attorney's Office mr.

Stein Steiner mentioned at the beginning of the meeting he we're operating under the governor's executive order do 2069 and that was set to expire today actually on June 30th so that was recently attended to the end of August I'm sorry - August first one side executive order fired the board the NPO and any Advisory Board will be required to have a quorum physically present at their advertised board meeting however there's nothing stopping other voting members staff applicants the public different from participating virtually XYZ next slide please so the governor still recommending the

senior citizens and high-risk individuals avoid crowds and that all residents avoid groups the more than 50 persons in addition the governor's task force recommended and we continue to allow vertical participation even in DC's - and that's we're currently an estate soon so for this reason the county attorney's office and County Administration are recommending that you still allow for virtual participation even once you have a quorum physically present and we call these hybrid virtual meetings next slide please so the hybrid virtual meetings are similar to what you're doing now with fully virtual meetings but there are some significant exception the big difference is that you must have a quorum physically present at the advertised location how many of you are physically attending anyway so we don't think this is a tremendous additional burden if you're not part of the forum that has to be physically present you can still attend virtually for health reasons or if you just want to maintain social distancing otherwise the boardroom the staff can also attend in the boardroom but otherwise the boardroom will be closed to the public and any presenter it'll be closed to the public step 4 staff and any of presenters that are invited to be in the boardroom and we can never have more than 6 people in the boardroom significantly the phone in option was we've been using for fully virtual meetings will no longer be an option for hybrid virtual meetings instead public the public will comment your WebEx and email like they're doing now and then we'll have new public comment kiosk in the lobbies at the West Pasco Government Center and East Government Center so the kiosk for the each type of government Center will be available for date city meeting and the kiosk in the West the government center will be available for a new port richey next slide please so the county attorney's offices and the county administration are recommending that Aalborg MTO and advisory were meaning to be hybrid virtual meetings after today there would be no fixed end date for hybrid virtual meetings although we're anticipating that this will least go to the end of phase 2 of the reopening if it's going to hybrid for one advantage of going to hybrid virtual meetings is that the board not the governor will determine how long the key for virtual participation options for public meetings will no longer be dependent on the governor's executive order next slide please so I want to talk about the recently ended the duration of executive order 20 you know and shelah fully virtual meetings in July you just do that but we're still recommending that you move forward harderberg's with hybrid virtual meeting tricky reasons first even though he extended it he extended it on June 23rd or 2020 we extended in just seven days before was such to expire problem of that is most of our meetings have to be noticed well before the governor extends the fully virtual meeting order

this creates a level of unpredictability for staff and applicants when noticing teacher meetings and in particular we have concerns about the August 4th meeting of the board because it would be very difficult to notice that it's the governor ways to extend executive order 20 - 69 to late July in addition you've already noticed two meetings of the July 9th Planning Commission and the restore committee meetings have already been noticed as hybrid virtual meetings we'd like to keep those on track and then finally and probably most most importantly hybrid virtual meetings are still safe only a quorum has to be in the board room which allows for social distancing and many of you are doing that now and then everybody else with her staff for the public or applicants still participate virtually so with that I'll take any questions on the new meeting process and it would be in effect assuming adopt this resolution would be effect for all meeting starting in July okay questions what's a ghost former chairman yes mr. Oakley I guess mr. hosteen and some of that when you say it's a virtual hybrid meeting and we have to keep social distancing so would I be considered if a state in Dade City at the day is here as part of being part of the meeting even though the meeting was scheduled for over an for Ritchie so if Thursday if there's a corner facilitate the board advertise location of the meeting is a new port richey and there's a quorum present in other words three three members are president new port richey yes you can participate virtually from Dade City same thing was Commissioner more to do the same thing so you just need to have three of you need to be at the advertised location of the meet okay oh that's good cuz it that way we had to keep social distance and enough room to get the space at the dais so I think that probably works and that would work by first and if at the Dade City meeting well remembered run participate from New Port Richey as long as there's a quorum indeed City yes okay thank you anything else mr. chairman Jack Mariano yes sir go ahead sir I'm the public input part you know it's been very difficult for the public to actually get in front of us to talk to whoever sort of thing to get there you know between the timing etc and if we're gonna have a virtual kiosk in the lobby pretty much we have these meetings there's actually enough room to come right up to the podium to speak to us face to face and I don't think it'd be any harder to kind of schedule them out there to speak to us or just having them come in and speak what does the blood think about allowing it a better access for the public comment for people to speak in front of his instead of 30 feet through the closed door and a key ask well I think the reason and all that county administration is more fully but I think reading for having the public at the kiosk in the lobby was it's difficult if you have a large crowd in the boardroom it's going to be very difficult while

they're waiting to speak and seats to keep the maintain social distancing I don't think it's so much an issue of the podium the podium is probably adequately socially distant from the rest of the board members and it's more the capacity in the room so if we if we have a situation where it is loaded we can keep them on the kiosk but if it's a light thing and I'll give you an example the VP the BP restore Committee meeting coming up we're gonna have the Aquatic preserve looked at well you know to see insure coming to do a presentation for nine board members will be some public members that we're actually gonna set up a non-profit they want to see it they'll get a lot more pickin sex you sit in the audience and watch it as well but as far as public input I don't think it's gonna fill up this place and I think it'd be reasonable we can go if we can go step by step to see if it is a crowded place and we gotta control it but if you can have somebody controlling the kiosk they can control someone coming in this to speak at the podium just as easy so it should be any burden on staff if someone's gonna be controlling the kiosk they're just letting them walk in and walk out anyway I mean for instance we had two gentlemen today then one of them talked about the Suncoast Recovery Center they come down here cuz they thought they could speak at the kiosk I gave instructions they could and I see that then they didn't speak at the kiosk I'm not sure what happened with mr. Boz in conversation but they're not here they didn't put their input in so I want to make it easy to people to give input Commissioner Moore so one of the Michigan reasons we set up like this with the kiosk is because while there is room in the lobby a new port richey there is not room in the historic courthouse for crowds gather and so we we kind of have to treat both location the same and so in on the east side we have the kiosk at the Pascal Government Center where there is room for a crowd to sit in socially distance what you can't do in the date city historic courthouse and so that's why we set up that way so that both sides of the county we're treating the same so there's the kiosk in New Port Richey and a kiosk indeed but in dates idiots at East Pascal government center not in the historic F courthouse furthermore is we go to a hybrid we will have more staff and obviously more commissions in the boardroom we will need to put some additional tables in both for two rooms to make we have room to socially distance both places and so that actually may block access to the podium at both both places so what's everybody else to stock I mean there's a suggestion from Commissioner Mariano the bottles came back it might be difficult either we do it or we keep or we stay is this though I leave it up to you guys I'm good either way mr. chair and I had one comment please go ahead these rules are you know the fluid documents so becoming problematic we can amend the rule you know for the August meeting so fluid document if you decide to change

your mind in the future mr. Chairman I I don't see the need I mean if you can't make it work in Dade City I get that but we can make it work here who should be make it easier for the people to speak in front of us whatever the opportunity is and if the government said on the east side is too difficult you can make that work with putting shares along hallways and using the other conference room that's it so be it that's the cage but I think we should try to make it easy when whatever location is whatever it allows you make sure Mariana thank you yeah I'm trying to tell me how we would do this in Dade City where you don't have the ability to have a bunch of people you know haul away and I have and I apologize I hate to bring this up again but I need somebody that is listening from home or in their office to turn off either their TV or their other computer because we're all getting feedback we're here in ourselves we're hearing the whole discussion and a delay about five seconds the police or I'm gonna set turn all mics off so the question again would be the dates and location how would mr. Mariana say take place hey we don't have a stack our area really to stack people they literally had to be outside he or krex are in Dade City you would have to they would have to be outside because there is not room in that hallway to stack home and continue to the staff that's working there work in the building so we would have to stack them outside and again that's that's we walked through that logistically as we were putting this plan together and that's why we landed it these past four government Center because there is room to stack them inside in from the kiosk in room to sit them so that they can watch the meeting while they're waiting to comment so that's why we did it over there like that okay so tell me again what would happen on my meeting day August when's the next date city is August 4 so how would that work in date City again so the rules is currently drafted the public could either register and log on with their web acts to be promoted to address the board that way or they could show up at these Pascal Government Center and there would be a kiosk it there where they would then provide public comment either in the morning or in the afternoon on a public hearing item but that would be the East Pascal Government Center not at the in-store Courthouse secure it out they can also email to email under the new rules as well well no and I understand so I think in this this is you know somewhat of Marianas point he made a second ago is we do have some items that have been put on hold because they're consensus items that I know quite a few people want to speak on issues I just don't know I know I'll let commissioner Oakley jump in since he's a nice Pasco guy but I don't know where the benefit is for somebody to go to the government center to speak at a podium or calling in I just don't I mean you're gonna drive the hip somebody wants to see you they want to see you

I'm gonna speak to you if not it might well be on the phone I wouldn't drive all the way to he's past with Government Center to speak in a podium and we're just gonna see somebody on video if I was if I was a constituent I don't think I want to do that I'd want to be at the podium or I'd rather just stay home be on the phone well how do you how do you get them into the board meeting when there's no room for social distancing downstairs that's right I agree I don't disagree with you I miss my point is why even set up a place at the East baskin Government Center for somebody to come speak when they're still doing it it still remote commissure see the advantage I don't understand the advantage for somebody to take the time to drive all the way over there and they're not gonna be able to look at space to face any ways to make sure we commissioner we're setting that up because not everybody has the ability to get on WebEx our and we don't have phone calls set up and what about facing the phone calls and so for those that don't have the technological ability to do that that's why we have a kiosk about locations well I again I understand you're saying about coming to the West Pacific Government Center more so than I do somebody being off-site I mean I get what you're saying I just don't know how this will go down but on the east side is probably not much different stream a phone call in and the kiosks really because you're not in front of the dais when you're gonna speak yeah mr. wealth mr. wells Lord can you hear me so yes sir six years I've been on the board one thing I've heard from constituent after constituent is you know you all make it difficult for me to come speak I can't get there during the day and I think us having this hybrid system helps people to have advantages where they can actually speak I haven't really seen it happen but I wish it would the kiosks I mean I agree with Mariano I know Commissioner Mariano I know we all do that we want to hear from our constituents but again I think the idea here and I think we probably ought to keep it this way or figure it out afterwards but where folks could still call in and or emails I think it being good I think the more we hear from the folks the better but again I do understand the social distancing you know I don't know how that's gonna work but again I the whole thought process that I've heard was you all make it difficult for us to speak I can't get there at 10 so now you can actually call in you know they need to take advantage of that because we want we want to hear from ya yeah I don't think we see leaves lose the call inability to missioner Wells as point cushion where I can cheering I agree as well we shouldn't we shouldn't lose the phone call ability especially as we're talking now it actually makes more sense to have that extra piece because if you want to work and you can't you can take 10-15 minutes

away from the make a phone call but you can activate drive out take your data to come out and again with the issues that not structural but it the structural issues at East Government Center it does limit you but oh here it just doesn't make sense to me if I can control the kiosk out there I should be able to people walk right up here and then speak right in front of us I mean granted they've only seen three of us here on this side when there's going to be something like that but that should be sufficient so I'm gonna help us through this a little bit and David hold on please if somebody still has their computer off I don't understand how difficult it is to turn it off if listen to all three commissioners I've spoken on this issue why don't we look at doing taking mr. Marianas and wells of suggestions on the west side and allowing them one by one to come to the podium and the east side just take your suggestions mr. biles with your suggestion is as well as the ability to call in and keep that ability to call in I think that satisfy just everybody that spoke up okay Commissioner I think to clarify the WebEx there is the ability to eat phone okay so we can't use the phone on the WebEx part like we can another meetings okay never mind you're saying we might can we let that amendment were there social distancing on the west side and in the lobby area and are called up one at a time it'll take a little longer to do there public meeting but we allow them to come for the board and the dais at that on the west side I don't know how you do it over here if you have several people come and if you had a just two or three you could come here that way too but for our social distance our stairs were pretty limited for more than probably four or five people at the most yeah yeah people waiting outside and 98 degrees mr. chairman you know distance in those hallways downstairs the problem with that if you have like you said Commissioner if you have four people it's no big deal but if we have an instance where there's 50 people which we know we have an item coming out but there might be 50 people speaking literally if not more who knows you can't say yes to some and I think no to others um that wouldn't probably not very well go ahead mr. chairman go ahead this might not go over very well but I'll put it out there anyway is you could require the forum to be here in you can do all your meeting in New Port Richey until this passes and not and not use the Dade City location there would be nothing that would prevent that legally yeah I I haven't I have an issue because of what we talked about other Commission's talks about giving the people the ability on their side of the county to actually speak I think that would not go over real well with some of our citizens especially was so enough or you because if you do that you're gonna have to keep pushing some of these items off and I think it there'll be oh there's gonna be a point

where some of our applicants are going to get frustrated that they're you have to keep being continued its chairman Jack Mariano yes sir I think I think Commissioner Calise got him but come up with a really good idea I mean if we're gonna call we make people call him the day before noon time they get a sign up anyway if we know we're gonna have four or five people in Dade City you can socially distance them downstairs pretty easily if you know you have more then you can let those people know you're gonna have to go these Pasco government set it to make that work I think for 99 percent of the time you're probably not gonna have that higher number and maybe that works better it may be right the way things are working right now because even with our phone calls now we're not having probably over about four or five of the most only either sign David gold son can I make one suggestion laughter yes please um so there may be members of the public that don't feel comfortable sitting in the actual boardroom so maybe one option would be to still have the kiosk but then anybody who wants to physically go into the boardroom you allow them in because and that would also kind of spread people out a little bit if you got a big crowd because I could see that if it's a big crowd they may not especially in Dade City they made there may be people that are not comfortable if their only option is that we'll go into the boardroom it's a big crowd okay that makes naps mr. chairman yes if I may the administrator and I just had a brief conversation the problem with doing with making the decision at 5:00 p.m. the day before a board meeting is I'm not sure you're going to be able to adequately tell the public where to show up so from a noticing standpoint I would not recommend you pick one thing and stay with it don't change it at 10:00 a.m. the day of the board meeting oh well guys we got to make a decision here you either it's keep it status quo or we move on with suggestion by the diny attorney Texas mr. Moore please Commissioner start more RP I don't think what we have is working great so I'm okay to try something different see if it improves public participation [Music] chairman more yes make the recommendation where we are out in public to speak at the building which we're going to me whether it be by kiosk or the microphone in the lobby I mean in the in the boardroom and if it in fact is more people that have signed up by order you can let some of those people that you can socially distance inside you let them stay inside when they fill out and you if you have more or whatever the reason then when one leaves another one can come in kind of backing it up through so I'm still I'm wonder what we're gonna do on the east side still well what if we have those are going to speak publicly notice us that they're gonna be here by thirsty of the week prior thirsting for our Tuesday meeting and give us time if there's more than three or four three or four we accommodate here

speak at the podium and I also had to go the key Oxford that'll give us time to set the key Aqsa I don't know how you put that in whirring but can we share it again I I think the Challenger that is the agenda is published on Wednesday so you're asking them within 24 hours to decide whether or not they want to comment on anything on the agenda and so again I think our recommendation would be to keep the boardroom close to the public let them comment at the kiosk that way you can get it we can maintain distancing both in the boardroom and out in the lobbies either here at the East passbook government center you can still get your public comment and we don't have to worry about the operation or safety issues but with public walking in here when we may or may not when we're trying to keep social distancing in both were two rooms I think us another concern is who's gonna if you will police's social distancing inside the boardroom right now one reason we we have it closes so we can do it this way yeah miss Cheerilee us it's set up that's the way it is with the kiosks right now let's leave it that way go through the first meeting so and mr. Goldstein said that we could amend that if we need to do that time but let's go through the first one the key out using the kiosks and see how that works or the first two and then see how it works and if it's fine and there's were able to hear from the public pretty easily in both locations then we'll amend it to what we think it might be better or or leave it the same but at that time we could we could be it's like a trial and we do it and we take and everything works fine it works I tell you I believe that it will work better than some of the phones some of the phone conversations comments we heard this morning are hard to hear and hard to understand we are next we need to live 14 and your thought was we this takes effect July 14th mr. biles yes sir we actually sent the notice to the paper yesterday for the 14th meeting in order to make the deadline so you guys would have give it a shot the 14th it is new port richey which I'm gonna get easier and we'll see how it goes and if we need to amend we can amend that day yeah that works I just had one comment mister yes please rules do allow the county administrator to invite a presenter into the boardroom so if he has somebody that really wants to address the board in person the county administrator has the flexibility to invite them into the board room to make her presentation okay so for example Commissioner Murray on that said he thought somebody was doing a presentation today that person could be invited in to do a presentation yeah yeah mister Mariana I'm okay we'll give it a try especially if I get the flexibility with the restore committee come up here it gives me a flexibility so I'll give it a try see how it plays out good suggestion are we all in this is everything okay with that you have a cohesiveness okay I see thumbs up and yes is I'll

with the oversaturated in apartments and the thoughts and the you would be to take this major corridor and move them back you're at a distance or it'd be 3,000 feet at 3,500 feet or 2,500 what may be are difficult to figure out so when I come you know which all you did to and looked at the pregnant patient of recommendations it got a little it got out there a little bit we're looking at now they brought up design students to us they got things going on over in the harbor's district over less Hospital things happen in in multiple different areas which to me was it the direction we gazed well my thought is is that you know they can put up I don't want to go through that I personally don't wanna go through this presentation because it's not what we asked for this is it's nothing even close to what we asked for and I just think you put up the recommendations up there and let the board pick through it because we gave some pretty I thought it was pretty clear direction that day is I asked multiple times everybody was in agreement and I know Commissioner Starkey added some distance to hers on 54 where she liked to see some things and Commissioner uncle'd added some distance to his area and if I'm not correct I need to think commissioner wells or Marriott I wanted this anything along those areas where they lived I thought that yeah correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that's the direction we gave let me see Mariano yeah I think you nailed it my conversation with staff was almost identical to that you know and and I think the development communities probably a little scared about us taking this extra step as well so I'm agree all the way through I mean all the way from we said 54:56 all the way from gun hi were to 301 that was the impact that every one of the to protect and that's that's where I thought it should be limited to I agree with anybody else with that all right chairman yes Commissioner Oakley I agree this is a much broader take of that workshop than what I thought we were looking at I thought we were only looking at Fitch for you know Fitch six at area from Commissioner Starkey's area back over to three a lot but this is broad this is the entire county maybe some of that we need to look at but I don't believe they were understanding from that meeting the direction they were take but I thought it was very clear it was that small area yeah yeah mr. Keeney thank you sir when I listen to the presentation I I like I like what they're trying to do maybe this isn't the right place to do it we have to redo our land development code ROM but a night I agree with their attempt to try and integrate multifamily better you know we look when I was with them we looked at some places where multifamily was just kind of plopped with no connection or anything to any commercial or retail around them and it makes for a disjointed community so I think the direction they're going in and I hope that we can discuss some of these any elements soon

I'm okay to listen to the presentation because I think there's some good things in it but I understand what you're saying I I thought we had said from God - you know what I think is what we said but but there are some things in here that are good and I think we should listen to it wrote on what we think is appropriate for today thank you can I don't agree there's some items in there that I think we should like you stated take a look at I just think it's something that should be brought up and then we hand out some of those thoughts that they have in suggestions they had I think those are gonna take stakeholder meetings and and more involvement from the community versus what the direction we gave which was just hey let's get this done and get 54:56 figured out or not figured out that's taken care of and then we can move back and listen to some of those suggestions because all the design standards and stuff that's gonna take a lot of discussion I think amongst the board and amongst our some of our community partners and stakeholders I know I'll leave it to the entire board we want to hear the entire presentation we want to move on with what we decided that we want to see and vote on it I'd rather move on and go to what we decided we gave him direction on mr. wells yeah chairman we I mean we've all met with him one on one I can guarantee you Terry knows my opinion on it and his team does and I agree that was the first priority and you know we've got a lot of cool projects going on in my district that are coming up and and I this stuff really shouldn't be had and I don't want to get into too much but I agree with you the idea with the 54:56 porn or and I don't disagree with that okay gammas I'm not I'm not a totally against it I like the idea we're doing some planning but I just don't want it to be something we develop a little bit I think even though I do like what Terry time let's all discuss it a little better cuz I don't think y'all network be the entire okay so can we get through this 5456 and if we have time we can hear some of their thoughts and ideas after that um I can't make a motion or I can but I don't do that okay so that corner okay so that so with the let's corridor was fifty four fifty cents mr. Starkey where was your stopping point at Ganon Highway and highway and Commissioner Oakley your stopping point was at 301 sir yes okay 54 56 and the next thing we just need to talk about is a distance we talked about whether it's three thousand thirty five hundred twenty-five hundred feet off the road I mean three thousand is a pretty good number I was counting some things off and that seems it allow that footage to build I mean there's some office or possible retail what are your thoughts on the distance the distance Doceri Jerry may have thought of one fits better for ya mr. stark doing I'm not comfortable with making an ordinance or making the rules this way can we have Terry speak and hearing us all speak and can I can we have him suggest something and not from us

because we're not planners we I don't think what the right number is but let's hear what he has to say knowing thing what we all just the direction kind of gave okay I'll buy that but we are if we are the policy makers so right right let's let's hear from the expert there and their little house well Kari we're not going through the whole presentation we can pop this Thank You mr. chairman we go we're gonna start from slide five and talk about what the comprehensive plan is referring to which is that's what Connie's 25 outlines various policies and objectives that reinforce reviewing on a project or strategies for the reduction of urban sprawl the ability to adequately provide from fund and generating uses and the ability to appropriately locate and transition between commercial uses so the policy proposed still maintains a level of flexibility for staff and the development community to work with applicants to meet the intent of a desired outcome with easier to accomplish and a rigid quantitative standard so what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna walk through the original text that was provided to the board and that was prevent presented to each of the members individually and I'll go ahead and I'll read that I know you can't see it well at least I can't see it on the screen but I will go ahead and read that just in case it's too small at home but the original text was new multi-family residential zoning and future land use amendments in the urban service area shall be integrated with a mixture of the employment generating land uses either existing uses in an Intel scenario or new uses to preserve a balance between residential development and employment generating uses along the county's transit corridors and designated areas for urban development to the extent this requires amendments the land development code and/or the Comprehensive Plan the board the planning and development department to work expeditiously on those updates that was the original language and the emphasis of that language is to use existing policies and existing codes to implement the directive and you can see that in that policy it was referring to the entire urban service area which includes the West Market area in the South Market area so if we go to the next slide this is an option to the original text that was provided it's essentially the same text with the addition of the phrase along transit corridors you can see it underlined and in bold so now that the sentence would read new multi-family residential zoning and future land use amendment along transit corridors in the urban service area so that brings it down from the entire urban service area to specific transit corridors so if we go to the next slide this is a essentially a map of the urban service area along with various transit corridors identified of course the 54:56 corridor being the longest at the at the south end of the county if we go to the next slide we'll see a third option here which is essentially the original text that was

presented plus a new sentence underlined there in bold which specifically calls out the State Road 5456 corridor I'll go ahead and read that in case those at home can't read it on their little screens in addition in the case of the State Road the 456 corridor the first 1,000 feet adjacent to the corridor between Gunn highway and u.s. 301 shall place new multi-family residential zoning and future land use amendments behind non-residential land uses unless the development will vertically integrate a mixture of land uses and then the the again the emphasis is trying to use existing codes and policies to the extent that we can if we move to the next slide I think there's a couple of points that I just want to bring up for the benefit of the board to consider what this added sentence does is that it guarantees multifamily is pushed back off the quarter hour to allow for commercial or other non residential zoning and development to front at the 54:56 corridor we keep in mind the single family can potentially be a front err as well in the first thousand feet from the right away development must ensure viable commercial or non-residential frontage Lots before planning for the multifamily so you have to really take that into consideration to understand what's left of the property in order to put in multifamily there are a couple of zoning districts that can still accommodate this I have just identified the two here c2 and which is a Euclidean zone in an mqd you could you could zone for example an entire property that's fronting stay row 54 56 C to zoning established the commercial uses up front let's say and then establish a conditional use permit for the rear portions of the property as an example additionally if the development vertically integrates multifamily with commercial or non-residential on the first floor facing the street multifamily can be along the corridor you can bring it up to the street frontage but that Street frontage still has the office space it still has the commercial space available for the the commercial activity that and the employment generating land uses importantly multifamily can still occur within the corridor we have to keep that in mind to avoid any semblance of potential exclusionary zoning potentially this this additional language here risks conflicting with flu policy 162 because it would it could force it doesn't necessarily force but it could force a continuous non-residential frontage along the state work 26 quarter and policy through 162 prohibits strip commercialization so we want to make sure that we're within the confines of the Comprehensive Plan in that sense additionally this kind of an approach would also mean that access to transit would be a little bit more challenged because you know buses aren't really going to turn off of 54 to go into the multifamily development and then turn back down onto the 54 56 corridor they're going to try to stay along that that corridor there's one more option I

believe that I want to present to the board as well but before I do that the map that's on your screens here is the 5456 corridor from gun highway to u.s. 301 so if you read the map from top to bottom the top is the west end of the corridor starting at gun highway and you move across and it goes to Land O'Lakes Boulevard the middle one is from Land O Lakes Boulevard to Bruce B downs and then the the bottom one is from Bruce B downs to u.s. 301 what this image is showing are three things it's showing a buffer off of your saber 54:56 the the dark black line in the center that's the center line of the road the first red line that buffers off the of the road is a thousand feet that's a that's our one thousand foot buffer right there the second line which is a black and white dotted line that's showing the quarter mile distance from State Road 54 56 and then at the very edge of the buffer where the color ends that is two thousand feet from from the buffer or from the state 54:56 and those colors that are in there are illustrating what future land uses are being impacted by the buffer right so you kind of get a sense for the future language that's being proposed a close inspection of the corridor along these guidelines if you will will show you that there's already quite a bit of activity that approaches and comes in to the corridor up to a thousand feet most of that time along the quarter you have single-family residential coming within a thousand feet or at least definitely within a quarter mile of the buffer so to the discussion point that was made a 3,000 foot buffer would be or setback would be well into the single-family neighborhoods to the north and south of say 150 456 next slide so in our language here we're using the thousand feet that red line this is the last option here which is again the original text we've added the phrase along transit corridors and the urban service area again to to focus the subject a little bit and then of course we've got the specifics they wrote 5456 quarter language added in at the end as well really quick run let me stop you right there real quick Jeff option for here new multi-family registers let me just I'm gonna read this for a second we all need to read this so this language I I'm still trying to figure out how it's actually only focused on 54 56 I think in addition in the case the 5456 but how is this it's not good this is a good sis statement but what I think that we were really concerned about was the mobility fee credits and so I think that mobility feed credit it'll just be for gun you know to to take away the mobility peak rents from gun to 301 yeah we will get to that this afternoon German okay mr. chairman if I may yes so if we're looking at the urban service area policies within the comprehensive plan it is asking for density within or rather I should say the companies of plan is asking for density within the urban service day but you have to kind of read it closely because it's coupled with policies from the South Market area

as well as the transit emphasis corridor policies the Transit Center overlays along 5456 and the transit oriented development future land use policies so and in the picture clarifies why the USA was originally picked to address the issue I think with the phrase along transit corridors in the urban service area the comprehensive plan is clearly indicating here that you're looking at the transit emphasis corridor you're looking at the transit center overlays which if I don't have a map map of that in the presentation but if you were to look at it it's basically calling out the 5456 corridor however it goes a little the transit center overlays and the genesis quarter obviously it's much bigger but the transit center overlays include as far west as little and 54 and as far east as just beyond Wiregrass a little bit just beyond what I guess David 56 David can you hear me Goldstein David are you there yes I can hear you help us with some language with what the direction was to hold these off 54 56 from gun to 301 well I think you could take Terry language and option four but instead of saying along transit quarter that first bold text that he have just say along the 54 56 corridor from gun right in with strike in the urban service area in other words so it would just say new multi-family residential zoning the future land use the amendment on the State Road 54 corridor shall be integrated and then and then ceased the rest of his language and believe in his underline because that's where you get the specificity you're asking for yeah okay and you wouldn't get this a thousand feet own mention Aires that's not far enough back we mean some of the numbers to throw it through I understand three might be too far but I think twos a better number you're not gonna get a Mettler Toledo you're not gonna get a true simulation you're not gonna get a bar graphs rent Sports Complex any of that stuff along that quarter that's not that does not leave you that room for those big big problems for those it's really really good projects it only leaves you small office in retail it's not gonna give you enough room for some of those larger projects when we say we want to save some of this for job creation sites so I would suggest I'm not saying have to go to 3 which is the number I was really looking for but if we could do 2 and use the language that David Goldstein gave we can move on today and I'm thinking of the project of New River and the downtown that he's building yes how would this affect a project like that Terry it wouldn't cause it okay well it could because it would be an amputee would be a rezoning if you were to establish a new amputee those would still be you have influenced by this but if you have it if it's in place already um this would not affect it I mean that's a great project and I don't know why we would want to harder to do a project like that mr. chair can I go ahead please that

project would actually comply with it all because it says that new multi-family residential shall be integrated with a mixture of employment generating land use so our downtown is integrated with a mixture of employment generating keep that language in damn it Jack Mariano yes commissioner Mariana down at ucf when you go than me right there we've got some commercial apartments that are there or maybe condominiums and down below they've got the commercial like a burgerfi and a few other future restaurants in there everybody came for sure over by the stadium right and and I think this is gonna allow that to happen as it says at the non-residential you should well let's see the development vertically-integrated a mixture of wind users that would allow something like that to happen the way it is written here correct yeah yes just like I'm Commissioner Starkey you just asking David Goldstein stated over how long that's the exact same thing you're talking about sir anybody want to make a motion to do that to change this to 2,000 feet and use David's language we can move on what David would say my language yeah restated nad mm see it would be new multi-family residential zoning a future land use amendment along the Seaver 50 54 56 corridor from gun highway 301 shall be integrated with a mixture of employment generating land uses either Justin used as an infill scenario or new uses to preserve a balance between residential development and employment been earning uses along the county's transit corridors and designee of the areas for urban development in addition in the case of the state 54:56 corridor from ghana highway to 301 for 2,000 feet and then the rest would pick up as Perry Rhodan see me when the commotion I'll make a motion Ronald remoten have a second it was it was Nate it was David's new it was David's new language which you wanted to hear part of that and we just changed the thousand to two thousand and that was the motion and they're doing the mixed use that's yes the language that says unless developments was vertically integrated mixture of uses is still in there the only thing we change from carries languages we limited it to the 54:56 corridor from gun highway to 301 and we change a thousand feet to mm there you can enough right now where when they'll be looking I'm not everywhere but y'all are I mean I I think it's really good to encourage this this kind of planning building me that I was more concerned about where incentivize Indian centerline okay step motion by commissioner I'm good with the second yes I've a motion by Commissioner Oakley a second by Commissioner Mariano madam clerk please call roll District one Commissioner Oakley I District three Commissioner Starkey I District four commissioner Wells just five Commissioner Mariano district two chairman more I motion passes five zero thank you all right good job yes we are moving onto our for preliminary our presentation preliminary F well okay so Dan let me ask you this because

excited about that it's a it's a real successful program that am skills has been rolling out for the manufacturing industry and we just had a discussion yesterday with with Mark Matheny and ami kids and some others on doing the same kind of boot camp Discovery Day for the construction industry so really again cutting-edge stuff going on in Pasco County for workforce development on the lines of you note the comments on from green about green key when I when I'm driving us 19 there are just maybe a dozen people and it's pretty much the same people hanging out at the bus stop at the Wawa 19 and frankly that that gives a really poor view of County it's it's just it's a problem that we are gonna have to do something about i am excited that we got but I think 3.8 million dollars this week in additional CDBG money for homeless and then I hope that we can come up with the program because these people cannot live at the Wawa bus stop they just can't and I'm starting to get to where something something has to change they cannot do that I well I waited at the red light I watched a guy on a bike do what I believe was a drug deal in our bus stop money exchange of hands and a little packets exchanged hands so I had one of my constituents tell me they watched one someone go to the bathroom outside there so so do have a phone conversation coming tomorrow and you know I want to move that bus stop actually enough for the Wawa there then last thing I want to talk to you about was the new Amazon distribution center and I just want to say I'm very glad that Amazon is coming here and I'm actually working with some developers to help them find more spots if needed here in in Pasco County but I'm not okay with what we the county did with waiving the landscaping requirements or what I think if I the never escapes me but I think it's around 680 parking spaces and some of them are larger than normal parking spaces as you know the Amazon has those bans and they're big and so what they what their parking lot looks like is hundreds and hundreds of spaces for the vans and then they have another parking lot next to it for the cut for the drivers of the bands so at any time half that parking lot is empty because they're either in their car or in the van this project actually is in Commissioner Wells district and it's at the entrance to Bexley and what we've done is we've allowed them to take out the landscaping in the parking lot which I work very hard on I don't know 20 years ago so to to to require Lance parking lots to have landscaping and they and they got to beef up the perimeter landscaping but 680 spots without any break is a real step backwards I just sent some pictures to mr. biles and I know if you can put them up but if you can put them on the screen that'd be great for the commissioners who live on the west side you can look at kea on 19 you know no longer is the is the Kmart building there but that's that's a lot of spaces without any landscaping and I think it's a real detriment to us

19 I think of on this is 301 and pretty fond Commissioner Oakley you've got the old Walmart there that has the old-fashioned parking lot with a couple hundred spots from picture 680 parking spots without any greenery or any break in and when I met with the developer and the landscaper for Amazon they they told me there they put the landscaping in in other counties in the parking lot so I don't know why we waived it and I would like to encourage there which is that the kind of parking lots we want to see in Pasco County so I'm disappointed I don't think we should be allowed to waive that requirement I'm okay with maybe making the spaces more than every 10 cars you have to have an island for if they need that but to take it all out was too far for me and again I'm happy that Amazon's here I'm I think we you know I'm glad they're like I'm glad they're here but let's not step backwards like that those are my comments thank you Thank You Commissioner Starkey mr. biles yes sir just real quick as I think all of you are aware we shifted my team and staff pallbearer Kahlo down to building construction to run that for the interim time while we've finalized the assistant county administrator for development services hire which I think I will have news on that very shortly as part of that so she's going to move down there we're moving tyson soberest over from public infrastructure to take her place temporarily and i have her here today so just want to introduce her to y'all real quick she's you'll be working pretty intimately with your staffs and so just wanted to make that quick personnel announcement follows it will shift down there ty you she will take over and the duties paul is doing and i expect her to do a great job there in time so that's all I have sir thank you mister Thank You mr. biles mr. Stein Steiner mr. chairman members of the board to get back to Commissioner Mariano's question we have noticed folks on for the property on scallop Drive they had their deadline to appeal is July 28th it would be it could be up to 90 days after that before we could if they don't appeal before we get through the rest of the process but we have we have taken the preliminary steps of notifying them that the structure has to come down Thank You mr. stotch down here today all right anything from the clerk's office today yes sir clerk out wrestles asked me to share some cares funding statistics with you regarding the carrot assistance program that was implemented we have approved for payment 1605 invoices totaling one point six five three million dollars and it's taking less than two business days to process them once the invoice is received in the clerk's office it is increased our workload a little bit about 14 hours on average and we are currently only have about 41 pending and there have only been 19 rejected for further information and communications as far as the cares personal protection equipment reimbursement program we have

Clark in their RV park where

they helped them with some traffic issues and speeding issues and I got a very very nice email from those folks there at the RV park thanking them for how quickly they responded and how they took care of that issue so we're very very appreciative of that entire team so for all the please you can express our gratitude and with that I want to wish everybody a happy and safe Independence Day this weekend be safe and enjoy the joy the weekend with that I don't think mr. biles we have eight minutes actually if you want to go if you over a few things in eight minutes it's totally up to you sir well like I'll get started at least give you an update on where we are the budget we're will be bringing the trend to you and on the 14 so if he doesn't get all the way through it we can have a further discussion on the 14th all right sir go ahead Bob budget bob is on the mic there he is [Music] go through quickly as Dan said please next slide so we haven't included a lot of information the economy in here just because it's been changing so quickly the takeaway from this slide is just as the pandemic has a negative impact on the private sector also has a negative impact on the revenues of the county and so in other words see County as the economy does well the revenues coming into the economy increase and on the other hand as the economy's doing not so well the revenues coming to the county are on decline and so with that in mind we're expecting the state of the economy to be at least as bad as it was during the 2000 2007 2009 Great Recession and so we've built our budget to reflect that thought next please and so here we have the March sales tax figures as you know the we are two months behind so we receive our state ship revenues two months after their to the state those are the March numbers just receive the April numbers here and so and art you see the half cent sales tax declined by 13 percent in April the governor as you reported put out the state home order April 1st around there and so the hap cent sales tax is down 19% for the month April penny for Pasco was down 24% and our gas taxes were down an average of 22 percent so in April was really difficult for us revenue wise next slide please we calculated based on the March and April numbers they calculated kind of a worst case scenario you can see here in the general fund that the Worth area would be in year 20 we might lose as much as 14 million dollars from loss of sales tax revenues thanks so this just is to show that when things are going well in the economy nationwide they're really going well in in Pasco and in the state of Florida as a whole but when things tanked they really tanked in Florida so where's blue luck is the US gross domestic product and you can see when that's when that starts fine in Florida and in Pasco we've really declined much farther than the rest of the country mainly because where our economy is so dependent on tourism next please and so based current and historic data this is kind of the the assumption II

gather for the fiscal year 21 budget Thanks so you know we received our preliminary taxable assessed values from the property appraiser June 1st we are supposed to be saving the final taxable assessed values by July 1st so tomorrow based on some percent increase which was the preliminary values that would have increased property taxes by about fourteen point eight million dollars our agreement with the sheriff is that half of those revenues go to the sheriff seven point four dollars we deduct increase to the CRA s as well as the increase to the TIF we decrease our remove the amount that we need to contribute to reserves to build or refers to that twelve and a half percent mark and that puts us down to about 3.7 million dollars we take out the expected increase in constitutional budgets of a half a million and so that leaves 3.2 million dollars for the board to spend on board as well as other constitutional kinds of initiatives thanks please so we here we have the taxable assessed values for the fire mstu and you'll notice it's at 4.8 4.8 million dollar increase increase in assessed values was 10.1 percent and the reason that the increase and the fire I missed you was so much larger than the increase in the general fund was because the Zephyr Hills was added to the fire mstu roles for the very first time for fiscal year 21 next please hear our constitutional officer budget requests as we noted the sheriff at half of the increase in the taxable assessed value so that's about a 5% increase the property appraiser on the other hand has said he's demonstrated some increases in efficiencies due to technology and so he needs about five bus people that he had previous years and our clerk and comptroller is about even notice the supervisor of election budget is increasing by 1.2 percent what's not shown here is in the future to maintain safe election practices about 1.2 million dollars will be used from the cares fund in order to pay for social distancing masks and I kinda thing thanks please next please so this is a what's currently funded we're making the I'm sorry please outside request for funding we're making the recommendation that we increase the health department request of $100,000 and the premier health and match of $150,000 in a school year 21 budget next please so the main cost drivers fiscal year 21 but course our employee health insurance and retirement increased there is the final phase with the firefighters step correction plan which gets all of our all of our firefighters now into this wreck step where they should be next and with those cost drivers in mind you can see the changes in our major funds general fund increasing but is 2% the tourism development tax fund the budget decreasing by 25 percent and we'll see in a little bit what's happened to their revenues and so we've just simply reduced their budget to reflect where we think their revenues

are going to be and then in the stormwater fund this is really not a decrease in the budget it just reflects how we are anticipating okay so this just reflects where we the way we account for capital financing we've been in the fund next please and here's our general fund apartments so we've taken out the constitutional officers and you can see just the board side as increased by less than 1% some highlights there you can see the county attorney's office decreasing by five point one percent that's not really a true decrease we've shifted some of the expenses from the county attorney's office over into the HRE program where it's more appropriate to fund those things human resources again shifting people that's not really a true decreased in their personnel and then we have here last point I once was Fire Rescue decreasing by 12% and the reason for that is because we had some should'ves that we implemented in 20 but because of the reduction in revenues we won't be able to move forward with those initiatives next please and here we have the municipal services fund you'll notice again fire rescue a decrease of four and a half percent that's not really a true decrease there were some expenditures in the 102 fund that we moved to other places where we feel it's more appropriate for those expenditures to occur and so as you see there we had 150 business plan initial all of our department directors and as you'll notice on the next slide epic the expected impact on the economy and our revenues from the pandemic we were actually only commending we move forward with 11 business plan initiatives of those 115 in the general fund and municipal services fund so you can see of course we're opening store key library in August believe star key district as that part moves forward some of the control or some of the obligations that are now done by the developer are being shifted to the to the central Pacific's were planning on building from a building in the central part of the county for facilities for them to work out of let's see we're recommending an employee wage raids of two percent keep pace with inflation and finally put some money in the budget to update the comprehensive plan based on the time we have here I think I'd like just like stop at this point see if there are any questions hey Bob you said there was a hundred and fifteen original initiative yesterday under 15 we're doing a lot is that correct that's correct yes sir okay fifteen proposed moving forward with eleven okay give us our total budget FY and proposed 21 total so for the general fund her total total I was it's about 1.4 billion dollars I was here for you I can get those for you certainly if he gave me 20 20 and then for 21 whole yes sir you emailing to me during break yes sir maybe mr. garvik sir Thank You chairman and thanks Bob for your team and and your entire team I know it's been it's gonna be a tough

year one thing I noticed I know we've talked about in our meetings is that we're only giving the employees two percent raise you know the state's doing three percent I believe almost all the Constitution is doing three percent there is nothing more important on this budget instead of taking care of our folks we have to take care of our team I would like to see that be at three percent I think that's an extra half million you said to the budget and we have some time board members to discuss it but again I know we're in a tough spot I know it's a tough time but you know I wasn't here back through the recession when the employees went for five years without any raises again I just there's nothing more important in our teams and that all of us have praised our teams today so I just I would like to see that number match what governor DeSantis is given to state employees at three percent as well as what all the Constitution's are giving their employees oh yes Commissioner wells you know the reason we stated the two percent one is that basically matches the inflation rate which was two point one percent last year you know we also want to be mindful of what is going on in the rest of the community as well that's why we we stated that number we want to make sure we protected your current phase a current with the economy and with the cost of living in the county but what to be mindful of what else is going on in the county as well so that's kind of why we did it - it wasn't because we don't assume Innova with all the board members of course that's not I mean I get that again but there is nothing more important than take care of our team period so I would like to see that 3% again I'm not gonna make a motion I'm just kind of curious where the board sits on it we can make a motion later but the employees need to be I know we're still not sure on the number from mr. Joyner if the number may go up and they go down I just against have a great team here at the county thank you Bob and daddy to take a look at that and see how to have a look I'm not correct very good anybody else if not we'll break - mr. Starkey I see you yes um you know I I appreciate our staff very much but I agree with what the administrator is doing I think you know I think we're kind of known as it as a conservative County and at 3% rate the beginning I think three percent raises pretty consistently since I've been here so you know every three years that's almost a 10 percent increase that's really Ginetta pretty quickly and and I was surprised to learn that our employees get a month off you the day they're hired so I think our benefits package is excellent and so I I feel we're taking really good care of our employees so I'm okay with the two percent for this year and things get better next year back up to three looks very honest sorry that's okay so again so I guess yeah Niners so it sounds like again the direction is to take a look at what

Richard wells initially proposed and make sure Mary Ellen said to so take a look at that and I know when you'll be back to us and two weeks within the updates correct hey that's correct any other conversations you have one-on-one commissioners to discuss further because all right well everybody go we need to get on breaks I think some people have some meetings I heard so we'll let you go we'll see you back at 1:30 thank you [Music] you [Music]
