MEMORANDUM
Date: November 4, 2011
To: Planning and Zoning Board members
From: Barry Brown, Planning and Development Director
RE: November 9, 2011 P&Z Board Meeting
The first item on the agenda is a review and recommendation of Ord. No. 13-2011,
which implements proposed revisions to the development approval process,
restructures advisory boards, and revises roles/duties of the boards. The first reading of
the ordinance by Council is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15, 2011.
The second item is a discussion of proposed changes to the code related to alcoholic
beverages and Special Exceptions. It is my understanding that in the past Cape
Canaveral had more than its fair share of bars and clubs and that they created public
safety and crime problems, conflicted with the residential nature of the community, and
did not foster the image desired by the residents. Accordingly, the code was revised to
provide more regulation and deliberation when permitting establishments that sold or
served alcoholic beverages. Minimum separation distances, minimum seating
requirements, and other provisions were written into the code. The code provisions
were successful in achieving the desired outcome.
Times change however, and the nature of the restaurant business, the overall economy,
the cost of land, and the demand for certain services have all changed as well. The
citizens of Cape Canaveral want more restaurants and the code either prevents them
from locating here or causes significant delays in permitting as well as unnecessary
costs in staff time and board meetings. The following proposals are intended to
expedite permitting of restaurants while continuing to provide necessary oversight and
regulation. I look forward to your comments as we endeavor to improve the code and
accommodate preferred uses.
Proposals:
1. Restaurants serving alcohol — Staff proposes 1) removing requirements for a
minimum separation distance, 2) removing requirement for a Special Exception for
alcohol service, 3) eliminating or reducing the minimum seating requirement, and 4)
eliminating or reducing the requirement for a minimum building area of 2000sf.
The serving of alcoholic beverages is an integral component to many if not most
restaurants. I see no need to have a minimum separation for restaurants serving
alcohol or to require Special Exception approval as they do not necessarily create more
issues than restaurants that do not serve alcohol.
In addition, considerable staff time is expended to process Special Exception
applications and to prepare the agenda and packet. There is also the cost in staff time
and attorney's fees for meetings, as well as lost time to applicant.
The requirement for a minimum number of seats needs to be eliminated or reduced.
Also, the minimum building area of 2000 sf should be eliminated or reduced.
2. Consider reducing the minimum separation distance of 2000 feet for bars and
dance clubs, etc. — Do we need to have a minimum separation for bars and clubs and
if so, does it need to be 2000 feet or something less?
3. Add definitions and clean up inconsistencies in the code — Need definition for
convenience store and clarify whether or not convenience stores need a SE to sell
alcohol. Sec. 110-171(a) states that all establishments that sell alcoholic beverages
require a SE, but C-1 zoning Sec. 110-332(13) allows for retail sales of beer and wine
for off -premises consumption as a principal use and therefore permitted outright. I
believe alcohol sales at convenience stores should be a principal use, therefore, a
Special Exception for alcohol sales would not be required.
4. Revise requirements for Special Exception Application — Staff proposes that the
requirement for a vicinity map per Sec. 110-171(a)(5)a be deleted. This requirement is
onerous for the applicant and is information that more easily prepared in house and
provided to the P&Z by Staff.

1. Discussion Re: Mixed -Use Development
Barry Brown introduced Kendall Keith and Andre Anderson from Planning Design Group. He
advised that they are under contract as consulting planners to assist Staff in drafting an A1A
zoning overlay district and may in the future assist in developing mixed-use land use and zoning
designations. He advised that tonight's discussion will be about why the City needs mixed-use
land use and zoning overlays. Andre Anderson will speak to the Board regarding State criteria
for creating mixed-use land use districts and the processes for adopting same. Barry Brown will
then speak to the Board regarding a specific overlay district that the City needs to act on soon.
He explained reasons why the City needs mixed-use land use and zoning overlays. He advised
that the Code has served the City well over many years and that some of the Planning & Zoning
Board members were involved in drafting the Code; and therefore, they were involved in
shaping the course of the City over time. Much of the effort put into the Code in the past was
about turning the City into a respectable residential community and transitioning away from the
early space days when it was a strip for bars, topless joints, and flop houses. Some Codes
have resulted in the development of top quality hotels at the north end of the City. As our world
is changing and dynamic, so is the economy and the world of development. Currently, the Code
is preventing us from having the type of development that we would like to have. Chairperson
Russell advised that the City had a lot of visioning workshops and a large portion of the
community attended those workshops and they voted on what they wanted the community to
become. He counseled the Board members to keep in mind that changes will be made to the
Code to implement the City's vision. Barry Brown commented that the Code is a living
document and the problem is that it has fallen behind the times and the City needs to revise the
Code to remove some of the hindrances and restrictions that are limiting the type of
development the City would like to have. We need to create opportunities and economic
advantages for desired development.
Barry Brown explained that mixed-use land use designations and zoning overlays are really part
Planning & Zoning Board
Meeting Minutes

of broader set of development initiatives. Additionally, the City is currently involved in creating a
Brownfields Redevelopment Program. Consultants have been hired to prepare a Findings of
Necessity for a Community Redevelopment Agency. Staff is meeting with consultants and
representatives from the State to obtain Community Development Block Grants. The mixed-use
land use and zoning overlays are part of our overall economic development initiatives. He
announced that the City is about to embark on a transformative journey which will leave a
lasting mark on the City. The work that is being done will define the community for decades and
this effort can truly be the Board's legacy and will likely provide material for another chapter in
Lamar Russell's book on zoning and planning in the City. He advised that this is what he was
hired to do 3 yrs. ago. Doing something significant, that makes a difference, that you can go
back years from now and say "I was a part of that". He noted that there is plenty of policy
support and direction to achieve this. He advised that the 1999 Comprehensive Plan talks
about having a downtown commercial zone that would allow for a neo -traditional type
development with residential and commercial. The City's 2007 Redevelopment Plan talks about
investment incentives for commercially zoned property, mixed-use of industrial/retail offices and
service and residential. The City's 2009 Visioning showed graphic images of what we would
like to have. In the beginning of 2010, the City adopted an Economic Development Action Plan
which talks about the City becoming more competitive economically. Additionally, at the end of
last year the City adopted the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) Based Amendments
which clearly called for mixed-use land use. He summarized that the City's Comprehensive
Plan is a document required by the State which is a policy document, and the Future Land Use
Map is a graphic representation of that policy. He explained that when the City deals with
mixed-use land use the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map will need to be
amended to create at least one new land use category. He referred to the City Code of
Ordinances, Land Use Regulations, and noted that it is the implementing document. He
clarified that these rules and regulations implement the Policy in the Comprehensive Plan. He
advised that the City's Zoning Map is the graphic representation of what is in the Land
Development Regulations (LDR). He stated that they will need to amend the LDRs and will also
be creating zoning overlay districts. He explained that a zoning overlay district is an area in
which unique rules and regulations apply to property within that boundary. He explained that
the purpose of the City's mixed-use land use designations and zoning overlays is to maximize
the City's potential, by maximizing development potential and tax base, creating job
opportunities, and by creating the type of services the community desires. He referred the
Board members to the hand-out which was a use matrix for C-1, C-2, and M-1 zoning districts
which listed some of the issues that need to be addressed, including raising the maximum
building height; removing minimum acreage for a hotel; provide minimum landscape buffer
widths; parking requirements, including shared parking; allowing for hotels in C-2; create
architectural design standards; address wayfinding signage; and address zoning for the United
Space Alliance building.
Bary Brown responded to various questions and comments from the Board members and
audience.
Andre Anderson of Planning Design Group, provided background relating to the State
requirements to create mixed-use land use and zoning that would allow for mixed-use
development. He explained how the City would implement the mixed-use zoning district. He
noted that Senate House Bill 7207 was adopted by the Florida Legislature and signed by the
Governor. He advised that there has been a lot of discussion about impacts and implications of
the House Bill. One of the results of the House Bill was a section that was titled "Planning
Innovations", Chapter 163, Section 163.3168, which is a new chapter that essentially provides
for innovation on how local governments plan. He read the chapter section and summarized
Planning & Zoning Board
Meeting Minutes
July 27, 2011
Page 3 of 4
that the legislature has recognized the need for a different way of planning for the future which
sets the stage for the City to create a mixed-use category. He read the next paragraph of the
section and summarized that this section encourages local government to apply innovative
planning tools; including, but not limited to, visioning; sector planning; and rural land
stewardship area designations to address future development areas; urban stewardship area
designations; urban growth boundaries; and mixed-use high density development in urban
areas. He advised that over the next year the State will meet with local governments and assist
them in figuring -out how this is done. He explained that mixed-use is not a new concept to
planning, it is already in the Administrative Code 9J5 to implement F.S. 163. He clarified that
when Senate House Bill 7207 was adopted much of Administrative Code 9J5 was repealed and
put into the new Chapter 163. He explained that the City will need to amend both the Future
Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan to identify a mixed-use development land use
category.
Andre Anderson answered various questions and comments from the Board members and
audience.
Barry Brown advised that the City is going to create a mixed-use land use designation, but
currently the City has a more immediate need to revise the Code to accommodate some quality
development. The area is generally along Al between the Port in the north and the Canaveral
River area in the south. The City needs to revise the zoning to make accommodations for
building height; minimum acreage for hotel; define accessory uses for hotels; enhanced
landscaping requirements and architectural design standards. Because the changes needed do
not involve a change to the Comprehensive Plan or the Future Land Use Map the City is
proposing to proceed forward with an overlay district, tentatively known as the Al Economic
Enhancement Overlay District. The Board members viewed an aerial of the proposed zoning
overlay district area. He advised that the properties will still have the existing zoning and any
project within the overlay district would be developed or redeveloped as a Planned
Development (PD). He explained that a PD is basically a unique zoning district in some ways
similar to a Special Exception. He advised that staff will come back to the Board and present
proposed language for this overlay district. He noted that this is one of staff's highest priorities.
Barry Brown answered various questions and comments from the Board members and
audience. Discussion continued regarding the existing and potential uses of the properties
within the proposed overlay district.
Barry Brown explained the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) process. He advised
that the City is working with Kimley-Horn & Associates to prepare the Finding of Necessity
(FON) which is the document that will demonstrate the City's need for a CRA. A draft of the
FON should be available by the middle of August. A part of the FON is to define the boundaries
of the CRA. He was confident that there will be a joint workshop with City Council to define the
proposed boundaries. Then the FON, with the boundaries defined, will go to the County
Commission for approval. In these economic times, the County Commission will be diligent in
its review of the City's FON and proposed boundaries. He noted that the City will need to be
able to support every property contained within the CRA boundaries as having a need based on
the criteria in the Florida Statutes. Commissioner Chuck Nelson supports our desire to create a
CRA and will be our advocate in obtaining support of the other commissioners.
Barry Brown explained the Brownfields Redevelopment Program. He advised that staff is
working with Kimley-Horn & Associates. There will be a presentation to the City Council on
Tuesday, August 16th. He encouraged each Board member to attend. Consultant, David

Goldman will explain to the Council exactly what the Brownfields Redevelopment Program is,
what is involved in designating a brownfields area, and any ramifications it may have. He
explained that this is a program that provides for both Federal and State incentives. He noted
that it is the City's intention to include all properties zoned C-1, C-2 & M-1 within the Brownfields
area. This will mean that these designated properties will be eligible for grants for clean-up and
tax incentives for creating jobs. He noted that a property within the Brownfields area did not
need to be contaminated, only a perception that there might be contamination, which is
interpreted very liberally.
Barry Brown responded to various questions and comments from the Board members and
audience.
Barry Brown spoke to the Board regarding the City obtaining Community Development Block
Grants (CDBG). He explained that the City is working with a consultant and hoping to have a
site visit from a representative from DCA to review the area that the City is proposing for the
CDBG.
The Board members reviewed a hand-out of House Bill 7207. Barry Brown advised that the
summary included the major revisions to growth management laws. He welcomed the Board
members to call him if they have any questions.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:42 p.m.

2. Recommendation to City Council Re: Proposed Ordinance No. 06-2011 Relating to Pain
Management Clinics.
Kate Latorre advised that staff was bringing the draft ordinance to the Board at this meeting in an effort to
move it forward at a certain pace because Brevard County, which previously had adopted a County wide
moratorium on the issuance of local business tax receipts for pain management clinics was set to expire
this week. However, just a few days ago, she received confirmation that the County had extended the
moratorium for an additional year. She advised that the City should take advantage of the County wide
moratorium for as long as it can. She explained that now the City has plenty of time to enact the
ordinance. She will add a clarifying statement in the ordinance that the City is not opting out of the
Brevard County moratorium. She advised that the City can delay the effective date of the ordinance
until the County moratorium expires. The Board members agreed to move the proposed ordinance
forward to City Council.

The Board members reviewed the proposed ordinance relating to pain management clinics. Kate
Latorre gave an overview of the proposed ordinance. She advised that many problems associated
with pain management clinics originated in South Florida and were becoming more prevalent in
the Central Florida area. Many local governments are now implementing zoning schemes or
license schemes in an effort to regulate pain management clinics. The City has chosen to regulate
the use, through zoning, by limiting the use in C-1 & C-2 zoning districts by special exception.
Discussion was held regarding why the use was being limited to only C-1 & C-2, and not M-1. Kate
Latorre advised that staff initially considered the use in M-1, however the Sherriffs office is of the
opinion that they would prefer they be kept in the commercial zones where they are more visible.
Discussion was held regarding the city annually verifying the appropriate licensing. The Board
members agreed to ask Kate Latorre to speak with the Building Official regarding verification of
appropriate licensing during the annual renewal of the business tax receipt.
The Board reviewed an email from Board member Ron Friedman who could not attend the
meeting. He had suggested that on pg. 7, item (j) (") regarding "similar law", removing the words
"where such person is licensed to practice". He explained that an individual may be licensed in the
State, but may have been convicted or pleaded nolo contendere in another State where he/she is
not licensed. He used the example that the person may have been arrested for selling a small
amount of marijuana in a State where the penalty may be a fine, probation, or suspended
sentence. Following discussion, the Board members agreed that on pg. 7, item (j)
(ii) to remove the phrase "where such person is licensed to practice"........ The Board
members continued to review and discuss the draft proposed ordinance.
Motion by Harry Pearson, seconded by Donald Dunn to recommend approval of proposed
Ordinance No. 06-2011, with the condition that on pg. 7, item 0) (ii) the phrase "where such person
is licensed to practice" be removed. Vote on the motion carried unanimously.

Recommendation to City Council Re: Community Development Block Grant Application
Submittal.
Fred Fox, Fred Fox Enterprises, advised that he has been retained to assist the City with the
application and administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). He
explained that as part of the application process certain policies must be adopted by the City to
satisfy Federal and State requirements. One of the requirements is for the adoption of a
Citizens Participation Plan that includes the establishment of a Citizens Advisory Task Force
(CATF) to serve as a liaison between the City and its constituents regarding CDBG projects.
The Resolution to appoint the Planning & Zoning Board as the CATF was adopted by the
Council on September 20, 2011.
Mr. Fox described the project and explained how the grant funds would be spent. He advised
that the City is eligible to apply for a maximum of $750,000 in CDBG Economic Development
(ED) grant funding; the proposed project is in the ED category; the CDBG Program is federally
funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He outlined
the minimum requirements of the 2011 CDBG ED application. He explained that the City is
eligible to apply for a maximum of $750,000 in grant funds; the City can apply for an ED grant in
each state funding cycle; for every $34,999 in CDBG ED grant dollars requested, a permanent
full time equivalent position must be created at the project site by the developer; at a minimum,
51 % of the people employed at the new facility must have been members of low and moderate
income households prior to their employment by the developer; the community cannot be
reimbursed for items contracted for prior to release of grant funds by the State; the Department
of Economic Opportunity (DEO) will perform a site visit related to the project after the application
has been reviewed by the State and prior to offering the City funding for the project; the City's
initial grant contract with DEO will be for 24 months; the CDBG funds will be utilized for
streetscape improvements, street lighting upgrades, new sidewalks, and sewer line installation
along Central Boulevard. Brief discussion followed.

Mr. Ringdahl, developer, verified that his assisted living facility project will create at least 22 new
jobs for people with low and medium income. He advised that the City should be issuing the
building permit within the next two weeks; a new lift station would be an upgrade to the project
and other subsequent development on W. Central Boulevard; and the existing 8 inch sanitary
sewer line will be upgraded to 12 inches; and if the grant is not successful he will still go forward
with the project. He noted that the project is not fully funded, and Mr. Fox commented that within
four months of the City applying for the CDBG Mr. Ringdahl will be required to prove that the
project is fully funded.
Motion by Donald Dunn, seconded by Harry Pearson to recommend that Council proceed with
the CDBG application submittal. Vote on the motion carried unanimously.

1. Recommendation to the Board of Adjustment Re: Special Exception Request No. 11-04
to Allow a Restaurant to Serve Beer and Wine in the C-1 Zoning District — (6910 N.
Atlantic Avenue) - Vincent E. Keenan, Applicant.
Barry Brown, Planning & Development Director reported that a Special Exception for beer and
wine was granted for this property in early 1990 and remained in effect until it expired on March
30, 2011. Boston Beef and Seafood ceased operations on September 30, 2009, and more than
18 months lapsed before another business serving alcohol applied for a Business Tax Receipt.
The applicant is currently operating a casual restaurant serving hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. and
desires to sell beer and wine as was allowed at this location in the past. The restaurant use is
compatible with surrounding uses and this request is consistent with the past use and
appropriate at this location. Chairperson Russell asked the Board members if they had any
questions regarding the Special Exception worksheet, for the applicant, or staff. A very brief
discussion followed. The Board members wished the applicant much success with his
business.
Motion by Harry Pearson, seconded by John Fredrickson to recommend that the Board of
Adjustment grant Special Exception Request No. 11-04, as requested. Vote on the motion
carried unanimously.

November 4, 2011
STAFF REPORT
Subject: Ordinance No. 13-2011. An ordinance of the City of Cape Canaveral,
Brevard County, Florida, amending the code of ordinances to reorganize and streamline
the City's development review process and to modify the composition and duties of
certain city boards; amending Chapter 2, Administration, related to committees and
commissions; amending Chapter 22 related to community development; amending
Chapter 46, related to the Library Board; amending Chapter 54, related to parks and
recreation; amending Chapter 110, related to the Board of Adjustment and Planning and
Zoning Board, and related to land use decisions and site plans; providing for the repeal
of prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions; incorporation into the code;
severability; and an effective date.
Summary: On August 16, 2011, Staff presented to Council proposed revisions to the
Code that would streamline the development approval process and restructure certain
advisory boards. After discussion, the Council unanimously passed a motion to
proceed with policy and ordinance revisions to implement the recommendations.
Ordinance No. 13-2011 addresses the following recommendations:
Revisions to the Development Approval Process
The goal of City Staff is to establish a development approval process that is user
friendly, less costly and time consuming, supports job growth and economic
development, and results in a better built environment. Staff proposes to accomplish
this goal by revising applications to be more intuitive and informative and by
streamlining the site plan review process. Staff proposes to streamline the review
process by shortening staff review timeframes and assuming more of the review and
approval responsibilities while relieving advisory boards and the Council of some of their
responsibilities.
These revisions follow recommendations developed by the Economic Development
Commission of Florida's Space Coast as part of the S.N.A.P. initiative. S.N.A.P. is an
acronym for Simplified, Nimble, Accelerated Permitting. During the SNAP process the
EDC and local governments developed a best practices model for both building and site
permitting to streamline permitting processes throughout the County.
Architectural Review
Objectives: 1) To create an architectural review process that results in a more
architecturally appealing built environment; provides applicants, architects and
engineers with guidelines in designing structures; and make the review process more
1
objective while continuing to allow for subjective and site specific input by City Staff and
Boards; and 2) save dollars by relieving Community Appearance Board (CAB) from
review of single family homes, small commercial projects, commercial building colors
and signs.
Recommendations:
1. Remove Level 1 review as a consideration for the CAB. Level 1 review includes
residential construction not exceeding three units and commercial additions
exceeding 850 square feet. Level 1 review can be handled by Staff.
2. Remove review of signs by the CAB and clarify that fences do not require CAB
review. The City adopted a major revision to the sign ordinance in May of 2009 that
clearly establishes sign specifications rendering review by the CAB unnecessary.
Items addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011:
1. Sec. 22-44 revised to remove Level 1 review as a consideration for the CAB.
2. Sec. 22-40(a) revised to delete review of signs by the CAB and clarify that fences do
not require CAB review.
Site Plan Review
Objective: Expeditiously review site plans thereby saving the applicant and the City
time and money.
Recommendation(s):
1. Streamline the review process - Remove responsibility for site plan approval from
the Council and restore it to a Staff function. This will accelerate the approval by at
least two weeks, usually more, and save the applicant the cost of consultants
attending the Council meeting. By the time a site plan set reaches the Council, any
significant revisions would be costly and time consuming.
2. Reduce the number of site plans requiring review beyond the Staff level by removing
requirement for commercial additions to go through formal site plan review pursuant
to Chapter 110-221.
Items addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011:
1. Sec. 110-223 revised to remove Council from the site plan approval process and
make the P&Z Board recommendation a recommendation to Staff.
2. Sec. 110-221 amended to remove commercial additions exceeding 850 sf from
requiring full site plan review and thereby making commercial additions subject to
staff review only.
Variances and Administrative Appeals
Objective: To streamline the process for variances and administrative appeals.
Recommendation: Discontinue recommendation from P&Z; take variances and
administrative appeals directly to the Board of Adjustment. The majority of cities in
Brevard County take this approach.
Item addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011:
Sec. 110-37 amended to remove the recommendation from P&Z for variances and
administrative appeals.
Restructuring of Advisory Boards and Committees
All Boards
Periodically the City needs to reevaluate the function and form of its advisory boards.
Advisory Boards should be structured in a manner that best serves the needs of the
Council and citizens by providing more citizen participation, now and over time, and by
being more responsive to the changing economic, aesthetic, recreational and cultural
needs of the City. In light of recent revisions to the City Charter, the EDC's S.N.A.P.
Initiative, and in an effort to increase citizen involvement, Staff has reevaluated the
function and form of the Advisory Boards and Committees and is proposing the
following changes.
Recommendations:
1. Staff recommends that all Boards consist of seven voting members, rather than five,
and that there be no alternates. This will allow for more citizens to participate fully in
Board actions, removes second class status from alternates, and precludes non-
voting members from coopting Board discussions and deliberations.
2. Board members should be appointed to a single three-year term. Board members
may be eligible for one additional term, but should be subject to review by the City
Council prior to being reappointed and limited to two terms as is the Council. If
Board members desire to serve an additional term, they should reapply and state
their case for continuing to serve on the Board with an emphasis on the contributions
they have made to the Board.
3. Revise names and duties for the Board of Adjustment, Business and Economic
Development Board, Community Appearance Board, Recreation, and Planning and
Zoning Boards.
Items addressed by Ord. No. 13-2011:
1. See below for reference to code sections revising the number of voting members for
each board.
2. Sec. 2-171(f) has been revised to reflect term limitations for board members.
3. See below for reference to code sections revising the names and purpose and
duties for the Board of Adjustment, Business and Cultural Development, Community
Appearance, Planning and Zoning and Recreation Boards.
Beautification Board
Staff believes that there is some overlay of duties between the Beautification Board and
the Community Appearance Board and that a greater efficiency can be obtained by
eliminating the Beautification Board and transferring some of its duties to the
Community Appearance Board.
Recommendation: Eliminate the Beautification Board and transfer some of its duties to
the Community Appearance Board.
Items addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011:
1. Sec. 2-181-186 has been revised to delete reference to the Beautification Board.
2. Sec. 22-36 (c) has been revised to add "Tree City" designation responsibilities to the
Community Appearance Board.
Business and Cultural Development Board
The Board has achieved many of its stated purposes including preparation of a
commercial redevelopment plan. And while cultural activities broadly support business,
they are not part of the core mission of an economic development advisory body. Staff
believes the purpose and duties should now be focused on economic development and
job creation. The Board should be renamed the Business and Economic Development
Board to reflect this change of focus and cultural duties should be transferred to the
Leisure Services Board. The Board may include some members from the existing
board, Visioning Committee members, and business owners or managers in Cape
Canaveral. All members shall either live or own or manage businesses in Cape
Canaveral. Beyond general economic development, the Board will encourage
implementation of the 2010 EDAP.
Recommendations:
1. Change name to Business and Economic Development Board.
2. Consist of seven voting members.
3. Transfer cultural duties to the Cultural and Leisure Services Board.
Items addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011:
1. Sec. 22 -tions of Chapter 22 renaming Business and Cultural Development Board as
the Business and Economic Development Board and revising the purpose and
duties of the Board.
2. Sec. 22-28 revised to call for seven voting members.
3. Sec. 22-33 revised to remove references to cultural duties.
Board of Adjustment
Recommendation: The Board should consist of seven voting members, rather than
five, and there should be no alternates.
4
Item addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011: Sec. 110-2(a) revised to call for seven voting
members rather than five.
Community Appearance Board
Recommendations:
1. Merge duties/responsibilities from the Beautification Board into the Community
Appearance Board including "Tree City" designation responsibilities.
2. The Board should consist of seven voting members.
3. Remove responsibility for Level 1 review.
Items addressed in Ord. No. 13-2011:
1. Sec. 22-36 amended to transfer responsibility for "Tree City" standards from the
Beautification Board.
2. Sec. 22-37(a) revised to call for seven members on the Board.
3. Sec.22-44 amended to remove responsibility for Level 1 review.

2. Remove P&Z from variance and administrative appeal process.

1. Sec. 110-3 revised to call for a seven member board.
2. Sec. 110-3 amended to remove advisory responsibilities for variances and
administrative appeals.

Development Board.

Action Item:
1. Chapter 54 revised to change name to Cultural and Leisure Services Board.

collectively, not individually, to apply the city's governing policies, and that the city manager
and staff administer such policies.
I understand that an appointed board or committee member does not manage the
affairs of the city. I will not intrude into daily operations or spheres of responsibility
designated by Florida Statutes, City Code, and City Charter to the city manager as the chief
executive officer; or undermine the city manager's lawful authority. Further, I understand
that the city manager is responsible for administering the policy direction established by a

members.

upon available facts and my independent iudgment. In my capacity as an appointed board

inappropriate language including statements that are malicious, threatening, slanderous,
disparaging, mean-spirited, vulgar or abusive. All disagreements, concerns or criticisms

appointed official and the honor of my respective city board or committee.
(f I will focus on solving problems. I will maintain appropriate decorum and
professional demeanor in the conduct of city business and work cooperatively and
conscientiously with others as I request or receive information, examine data or weigh
alternatives in the decision-making process.
W I will demonstrate patience and refrain from demanding, interruptive access to staff
or immediate responses or services when requesting information that requires significant
staff time in research, preparation or analysis or that will result in staff neglect of urgent
duties. Such requests will be made through the city manager for scheduling and prioritizing
through consensus of my respective city board or committee.

Ordinance No. 13-2011

all other scheduled events where my participation is required.

opinions from fellow board or committee members, city manager, city attorney, staff, citizens
of Cape Canaveral, and city utility customers. I will listen actively and objectively to others'
concerns or constructive criticisms.
Jil I will refrain from any individual action that could compromise lawfully authorized
decisions of the city or the integrity of the city and my fellow board or committee members.

support the city manager's decision to employ the most qualified persons for staff positions.
I will recognize the bona fide achievements of the city manager, staff, city attomey, city
contractors and consultants, business partners, and others sharing in, and striving to achieve,
the city's mission.
(m) I will enhance my knowledge and ability to contribute value to the city as a board or
committee member by keeping abreast of issues and trends that could affect the city through
reading, continuing education and training. I will study policies and issues affecting the city,
and will attend training programs if required by the city. My continuing goal will be to
improve my performance as a board or committee member.
(n) I will value and assist my fellow board or committee members by exchanging ideas,
concerns, and knowledge through lawful means of communication. I will help build positive
community support for the city's mission and the policies established by the city council.

views of others. I recognize that I share in the responsibility for all City decisions that my
respective board makes and will accept the will of the majority.
