STAFF REPORT
Request: For a Special Exception to allow for the on premise consumption of alcoholic.
beverages per Sec 110-171(a).
Applicant: John Porter
Owner: John Porter Banana River LP
Subject property: The former Azteca Restaurant property located at 6395 North
Atlantic Drive. The subject property is located on the west side of Al A just north of
Funntasia Golf and Games. More generally between Holman Av. to the south and
Cape Shores Dr. to the north.
Future Land Use and Zoning designation: C-1 Commercial.
Surrounding zoning:
North — C-1, Commercial
East — Commercial in unincorporated Brevard County
South — C-1. Commercial
West — R-3, Residential
Surrounding uses:
North — Residential
East — Lido Cabaret and Sky ling Fireworks
South — Funntasia Golf and Games
West — Undeveloped property.
Description: The applicant owns the restaurant property and surrounding properties to
the north, south and west. The applicant is currently renovating the former Azteca
restaurant building. This will be the new location for Boston Beef and Seafood which is
moving from its current location further north on Al A. The property formerly had a
special exception for the consumption of alcoholic beverages, but it expired 18 months
after the Azteca restaurant ceased operations.
Our code calls for a restaurant to have a minimum of 200 seats in order to be exempt
from the minimum 2,000 ft. distance from another establishment serving alcoholic
beverages. Plans for the new restaurant call for 200 seats. The operator of Boston
Beef and Seafood intends to continue his fare of beef and fried seafood in the front
portion of the new building. The rear of the building will be a traditional full service, sit
1
down restaurant that will have expanded offerings. It will include broiled and baked
seafood with Greek specialties as well as baked breads and pies.
See attached Special Exception Worksheet for Staff Analysis
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval, without conditions, based on the
following: The proposed restaurant use with alcohol service is compatible and
harmonious with the surrounding uses. This is simply regenerating a use that was
compatible at this location for many years. The property is properly sized and shaped
to handle traffic circulation. The local economy will be improved as a property that had
been in disrepair will be renovated and brought up to code. This will create new
employment and increase the value of the property on the tax rolls. The proposed use
will not have an adverse impact on the natural environment or public infrastructure or
services.
Porter SE Worksheet with Staff Analysis
Board of Adjustment
June 22, 2009
Conditions for establishments serving alcoholic beverages
Is the establishment within 300 feet of any existing church, school ground, or
playground?
No.
Is the establishment within 300 ft. of the mean high water line of the Atlantic
Ocean or of the Banana River?
No.
Imaact to surrounding properties
Is the Special Exception compatible and harmonious with properties and uses in
the surrounding area? Explain why.
The restaurant is not within 300 feet of a church, school ground, or playground. It is not
300 ft. inland of the mean high water line of the Banana River. The use is compatible
as it is located on A 1 in an established commercial area. it is buffered from residential
uses by distance, natural vegetation, and other uses.
Will the scale and intensity of the SE be compatible and harmonious with
adjacent land ..+aca:
Yes. This has been an appropriate location for a restaurant for decades and continues
to be. The building is appropriately sized and the intensity of use is in keeping with
other C -I uses along AIA.
Will the traffic generated, volume and type, adversely impact land use activities in
the immediate vicinity?
No. This use is appropriately located and buffered from residential uses.
Will the Special Exception create any adverse impacts to other properties in the
surrounding area through the creation of noise, vibration, odor, stormwater
runoff, or other offsite impacts that would not have been created had the property
been developed as a principle use?
No. Noise in the area is generated by traffic on AIA. Lighting will meet Code not
spillover to adjoining properties. No vibration is involved as site is already developed
and there will be no need for compaction. Odor could emanate from the dumpster, but
this will be addressed through code enforcement if necessary. The site is already
developed and no additional stormwater runoff will be generated.
Is there adequate screening, buffers, landscaping, open space, off-street parking,
other similar site improvements to mitigate any adverse impacts of the SE?
The residential area to the. West and along the Banana River is buffered by natural
landscaping on the adjoining property also owned by the applicant.
Will the size and shape of the site, the proposed access, internal circulation, and
design enhancements be adequate to accommodate the proposed scale and
intensity of the SE requested?
Yes. The size, shape, access, internal circulation are adequate to accommodate the
proposed scale and intensity of a restaurant.
Are signs and exterior lighting designed and located so as to promote traffic
safety and to minimize any undue glare or incompatibility with adjoining
properties.
Signs have not yet been permitted, but will meet City code. Lighting must meet City
code and will be allowed to spillover to adjoining properties.
Hours of operations and how will that impact surrounding properties?
Sam to tam according to State liquor laws.
Traffic and Parking
Are there adequate off-street parking and loading areas?
Yes. The site is only two spaces short per our current code for the proposed restaurant.
If the restaurant seating is increased, per our code, additional parking can be provided
off-site within 500 ft. The applicant owns all adjoining properties, so additional parking
can be accommodated.
Is there adequate ingress and egress, with particular reference to auto and
pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow, and emergency access?
Yes. There are two driveways with direct access from AIA. The drive isle circles the
building for good emergency access. Also, the property is connected through the
Funntasia Golf and Game property to the signaled intersection of Holman and AIA.
What type and how much traffic will the SE generate?
Customer traffic and delivery trucks.
Are there adequate loading and unloading areas?
Yes, there are adequate on-site loading and unloading areas.
Public Services
Is there adequate utilities available? Location and capacity.
Yes. This is existing development that is adequately served by public services.
Will the proposed Special Exception create any unusual demand for police, fire,
or emergency services?
No.
Will the proposed Special Exception have an adverse impact on public services,
including water, sewer, surface water management, parks and recreation, streets,
public transportation, marina and waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian
facilities?
Is there adequate refuse facility for the use and is the dumpster properly located
and screened?
Refuse service is required by code and the dumpster must be screened per code.
Miscellaneous Impacts
Will the proposed SE have an adverse impact on the natural environment,
including air, water, and noise pollution, vegetation and wildlife, open space,
noxious and desirable vegetation, and flood hazards?
No. The property is already developed and no impacts have been identified in the past.
Will the proposed SE have an adverse impact on historic, scenic, and cultural
resources, including views and vistas, and loss or degradation of cultural and
historic resources.
No. In fact, this will be the resurrection of a restaurant that has been apart of the City
since the 1960's.
Will the proposed SE have an adverse impact on the local economy, including
governmental fiscal impact, employment and property values?
Yes. Boston Beef and Seafood's move to this location will allow it to expand and hire
additional employees. Putting the building back into use will increase the property value
and therefore local government revenues. The rehabilitation of the property will also
beautify the area and may increase value of surrounding properties.
Will the proposed special exception will have an adverse impact on housing and
social conditions, including a variety of housing unit types and prices, and
neighborhood quality.
No. Not applicable.
Land Use and Zoning
Is the requested SE consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan?
Yes. The SE is consistent with the intent of the Comp Plan and the C-1 Commercial
land use and zoning district.
Is the requested SE consistent with the intent of the zoning district in which it is
sought?
Yes, see above.
Will the SE meet all the requirements of the zoning district in which the request is
to be located, such as: lot requirements, building setbacks, lot coverage, height,
buffers, off-street parking, signs, storage, landscaping, etc.?
The property is already developed and therefore grandfathered for most of the
requirements of the zoning district. Signs, landscaping, etc. will be addressed during
later permitting phases.

Assistant City Attorney, Kate Latorre, gave an overview of the procedure. She
advised that this was a special exception that was already granted pursuant to
several public hearings giving testimony and evidence. This request was for an
extension of time which is allowed under the City code. This was not a Public
Hearing. The request needed to be made before the special exception expired,
and the applicant needed to show good cause to be granted the time extension.
Therefore, the Board would not be taking new evidence, because it was already
an approved special exception.
John Johanson, Managing Member for Tripple J Investments, LLC, explained
that since the market had stopped over the past few years, and in today's market
it was not cost feasible to build anything right now. He was hoping to build within
the next 12 -months. Chairperson, John Bond asked if any changes were
planned to be made since the approval. Mr. Johanson responded that the only
change discussed was maybe to reduce the outside units to single story and
leave the center unit a two story to keep the cost down. Board member, George
Sweetman, voiced his concern about the salability of what they were trying to do,
and how it was going to affect the properties around him.
Mr. Sweetman asked that if the extension was granted for the 12 -month period,
and the market didn't change, what his plans to do with the property then were,
Mr. Johanson responded that he had no idea. However, if the extension expired
then they would start over again. Vice Chairperson, Paula Collins, explained that
it was not within the Board's purview to speculate or be concerned with how an
applicant's business plan was going to play out. She advised that the Board's job

�:_.._..., vy r c- . pair.
Sweetman responded that the code said "may" grant. He believed his questions
were proper to justify just cause for the requested extension. Chairperson, John
Bond read City code Section 110-32 regarding granting an extension. He
commented that some times the Board was tasked to make unpopular decisions.
He explained that tonight was not to decide what could or should be built on the
lot, because that was already determined and adjudicated in the court.
There being no further discussion, a motion was made by John Bond, seconded
by Paul Collins, to grant the request to extend Special Exception No. 05-15 for a
period of 12 months: Vote on the motion carried unanimously.

Chairperson, John Bond asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak.
Judith Lau, resident, 211 Coral Drive, Harbor Heights, advised that she lives
directly across the street from the lot in question. She stated that the Board
made a very presumptuous statement that there was no hearing and they could
not discuss whether or not that lot would be built on or not. The Board was not
even here for them to question the fact that the special use exception had been
granted a year ago. However, the residents were there to ask that given the
nature of the special use exception and the time sensitive nature of a special use
exception that the request for extension be denied, and give the residents an
opportunity to present at the time when the developer planned to go forward
again, to bring the plan again and ask for that special use exception. She further
stated that the only reason the court remanded it back to the Board of
Adjustment was that they did not feel the neighborhood had given factual
evidence of the effect of the introduction of the multi -family units into a single
family residential neighborhood, because at that time the other units had not yet
been completed. The residents now have the factual evidence. They were not
asking for any more other than to deny the extension and ask Mr. Johanson to
present his request when he was ready to build, so they could take a snap -shot
again, because that's what a time sensitive thing is to see what effect having
multi -family in a single family residential neighborhood. But, the Board did not
give "them the opportunity, because they assumed that we wanted to talk abniit
whether it should be built, but that was not what they wanted. Ms. Lau
announced that she was very distressed. Chairperson Bond advised that this
was not a popular decision, but one they had to make. Ms. Lau did not agree.

The Chairperson advised that they had three candidates for the Board and would
interview them in the order of the date their application was received. He
announced that Board member Jack Childs shared with the Board at the last
meeting that he would be resigning due to his health, and he was not present at
this meeting because he was ill. He advised that the Board currently had one
regular member vacancy, and would probably have two; and two alternate
positions were open.

Linda Brown stepped up to the podium. Mr. Bond announced that he wanted
everyone to know that she was a neighbor of his, however they did not know
each other on a social basis, they just knew of each other. Ms. Brown advised
that she's lived in Cape Canaveral for three years, but she has visited the City
since 1976; she loved the area; and realized that the decisions that they have to
make were difficult, because the decisions affect people's lives, they have to
weigh the pros and cons very seriously, and not take the decisions lightly, and
you have to make your decisions based on what is best for the community. She
understood about special use exceptions, because in the past she helped
someone get a special use exception, and was also involved in defeating one,
because it adversely affected a community. She advised that it was important for
the City to maintain its small town integrity. Mr. Bond gave an overview of the
information on Ms. Brown's application.
Motion by John Bond, seconded by George Sweetman, to recommend to the City
Council that Linda Brown should be appointed to the Board. Barry Brown,
Planning & Development Director, advised the Board that they had the ability to
make a recommendation to the City Council as to who they would like to fill the
full member seat and who they would want to fill the 1st alternate seat and who
they wanted to fill the 2nd alternate seat. He explained that if a full member was
out, then the 1 st alternate would fill that position, and then if the full member and
1 st alternate were both out, then the 2nd alternate would fill that seat. Mr. Brown
suggested that the Board interview all the applicants, and then make the motion.
Kate Latorre, Assistant City Attorney, questioned if that was traditional for the
Board to make a specific recommendation when there are that many applicants?

all the applicants before making any of the recommendations to City Council.
John Bond withdrew the motion, George Sweetman and Paula Collins had no
objection.
Douglas Raymond stepped up to the podium. Mr. Bond gave an overview of the
information on Mr. Raymond's application. He advised that Mr. Raymond was
new to the City; he desired to be a member of an advisory board or committee;
he was new to the community and desired to volunteer his skills and
interests for the betterment of the City; he did not have any experience with civic
involvement with boards such as this; his specialized skills and training included
35 years with industrial engineering and construction, he coached for several
boys sports teams, and he has a degree in business and accounting.

Mr. Raymond advised that he, his wife and three sons moved to Cape Canaveral
after 27 years living in St. Louis, Missouri; he worked for a major company who
did major construction jobs around the world and he was involved in several
different department within the company. His family had moved to Cape
Canaveral part time four years ago, they sold there house in St. Louis and now
they are full time residents; he is retired and has the time to devote to an
organization like this; he currently does volunteer work at the recreation center by
teaching young kids tennis; last year he was the treasurer for his condominium
association, this year he is the president. He advised that he would bring open
mindedness, because he is new to the area and can be objective to situations.
Leo Nicholas stepped up to the podium. Mr. Bond advised that Mr. Nicholas has
been involved with the City for a long time. Mr. Nicholas advised that he has
lived in the City since 1963; he has been involved with this Board, Planning &
Zoning Board, City Council, and just about every board except for the Recreation
Board at one time or another; his heart and interest is in the City; having served
on the City Council, they have reviewed the zoning code several times, including
the sign code. He was aware that the only code the Board is involved in is
Chapter 110 of the zoning code, and he has intimate knowledge of that code and
how to apply it. He would be a great asset to the Board without having to go
through a training session. He was surprised there were so many vacancies
available on the various boards. He would like to serve on the Board and do
what he can in the best interest of the City. He added that even though he
currently was not in an elected position, his heart is in this City and wants to do
what ever he can. His work background included being an electrical engineer
retired from the Space Center; and he currently has a small business in Merritt
ilnu_ •_•h��r�s__ rs�,r�U �r�anueo f;�lr. 9=ll�nolas for all n! y' aim of servile in the
community. Mr. Nicholas stated that he would like to be appointed to this Board
to continue that service.
The Chairperson announced that there were three excellent candidates. Mr.
Bond advised that he was going to make a recommendation in the order of the
date that the City received the applications. Assuming that all three applicants
are appointed to the Board, unfortunately that leave an applicant with many years
of experience being appointed as an alternate, unless the City Council changes
the Board's recommendation.
Motion by John Bond, seconded by Paula Collins, to recommend appointment of
all three applicants and that they are seated in the order of their application date.
