Motion was made by Vice Chairman Price and seconded by Board Member Stroud to approve the Site Plan for the car wash located at the Marathon Gas Station at 8101 Astronaut Boulevard.

Zach Eichholz, Deputy Director/Sustainability Manager — CED gave a short presentation and introduced Kyle Harris, Senior Planner, to the Board. Mr. Harris replaced Brenda Surprenant. Mr. Eichholz explained that that the Presidential Streets Plan (Plan) will improve resident's safety and enhance the overall local natural environment of the Study Area. Mr. Harris gave a short presentation of the Plan. There are over 13 miles of roadway in the Study Area and they will be reviewed and prioritized for improvement. The plan creates a framework that includes various tools and recommendations regarding flooding, pedestrian safety and connectivity. Before any project is started, input from the area residents will be gathered. The first step is surveying the streets and community engagement. The City already has funds for surveying in FY 22/23. The plan is to apply for as many grants as possible, and use CRA funds. Kimley-Horn can assist with grant acquisition. Kelley Klepper and Colleen McGue from Kimley-Horn were present to discuss the Plan. Mr. Klepper explained to the Board there were community engagement sessions held as part of preparing the Plan. Online surveys were also offered to the residents as well as mail outs. Both Mr. Klepper and Ms. McGue "listened" to the public's comments and what improvements they wanted. Ms. McGue discussed the recommendations. She covered several pages in the Plan, focusing on the "Tool Kit" and "Cost Estimates". Fillmore, Tyler, Magnolia, and Taylor seemed to always come up in conversation by residents. Ms. McGue is going to concentrate on Fillmore Avenue, one- way streets, adding beach and bicycle parking. 2 City of Cape Canaveral, Florida Planning and Zoning Board Meeting • August 24, 2022 Minutes • Page 3 of 4 A motion was made by Chairperson Russell and seconded by Vice Chairperson Price to recommend the Plan to City Council with an emphasis on stormwater. Board member Miller suggested the Board take more time to review the Plan, do their homework and get more input from Kimley Horn. Chairperson Russell withdrew his motion and there were no objections. Mr. Dickey spoke briefly on a mixed -use land use category. There are two documents that really drive land use decisions in the City. The Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code. The Comprehensive Plan is a policy document, contains policy statements and the Land Development Code consists of the zoning code and other related codes. If there is a conflict between the Plan and the LDC, the Plan takes precedence. At the present time, the Plan doesn't provide for mixed -use. In order to resolve this conflict, a Plan amendment must be processed to allow for mixed -use development. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Price and seconded by Board Member Stroud to recommend moving forward with an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to establish a mixed -use land use category. The motion carried unanimously. Board Member Denny wanted to discuss Short Term Rentals/Vacation Rentals. She stated that the City's program isn't strict enough and the board should revisit the rules and regulations. Board Member Miller agreed. Discussion ensued about the Accessory Structures. Board Member Stroud passed out some paperwork regarding mixed -use for the City of Mount Dora. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 8:13 PM. Approved on this Lamarussell, Chairman Patti Roth, Board Secretary 3 day of 2022
