Discussion ensued as to why this Code should be modified. Chairman Lamar Russell asked for
a motion be submitted for approval to the Council for an Ordinance change. Board Member

motion carried unanimously.
3. Review proposed language to establish a Mixed -Use Future Land Use category to the
Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and provide direction to Staff.
Mr. Harris provided a slide presentation regarding Mixed -Use Land Use, and informed the Board
that Comprehensive Plan LU 1-1.8.1 is in the process of being updated. Discussion ensued with
Mr. Dickey requesting feedback from the Board on the concept of Mixed -Use Land Use and to
have future discussions on the subject. Mr. Garganese reminded the Board that the current
Comprehensive Plan does not currently have a Mixed -Use Land Use category, but it does state
the option for the City to create one. The Board and Staff reviewed the City's current Land Use
Map and discussed how limited the land use is. Mr. Dickey suggested rewriting this presentation
in Ordinance form for consideration by the Board at the next meeting.
REPORTS AND OPEN DISCUSSION
Mr. Garganese informed the Board that the Florida Legislature passed some Land Use related Bills
which need to be discussed with the Board in the future, as they will have impacts to City zoning
administration. He informed the Board the Senate has approved new regulations for Airbnbs.
