property owners, and the City.

Re: Presentation regarding Sheldon Cove Plaza
December 4, 2007 City Council Meeting
Thank you for the opportnnity to share with the members of the City Council a new project we at Sheldon
Cove are very interested in pursuing.
In June 2006, the Institute for Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Central Florida presented
the fmdings of a survey conducted in the City of Cape Canaveral in which the residents were asked what
..- - - --------- would improve-their "quality oflife'-';-The-strongest-support was forareasinwhich residents of Cape-----
Canaveral could shop in neighborhood oriented retail, dine in family friendly restaurants and utilize the
services oflegal, medical and business professionals without the leaving the City.
CurreiitlymtlleCity of CapeCooaVetal thefeisliriiited Class A c6riiii1ercial property available. Sheldon
Cove has 30,000+ square feet of Class A commercial property at full occupancy and it has been for 10
years. On a regular basis, Sheldon Cove receives inquiries from businesses looking for office space in
order to expand their operations without having to leave Cape Canaveral. Sheldon Cove would like to
build on its' existing property to meet the needs of the City's businesses and residents.
Sbeldon Cove LLLP is currently reviewing the feasibility of a project that would provide the venue for
each of the needs mentioned above - Sheldon Cove Plaza.
Sheldon Cove Plaza will be located at the North east corner of the intersection of Astronaut and Central.
Sheldon Cove Plaza would encompass 200,000 square feet of Class A office and upscale retail space for a
project cost of approximately $30 million. The focus of Sheldon Cove Plaza would be to provide a place
for residents to shop and dine and to provide a place for legal, medical and business professionals to
conduct their business all within the City.
The owners of Sheldon Cove have a proven track record of developing and maintaining Class A
commercial property. Cail One, Inc, also founded, owned and operated by the Mays family and located in
Cape Canaveral is celebrating its 20th year of successful business. With four generations living and
working in Brevard County, the owners of Sheldon Cove LLLP have a true commitment and vested interest
rii the continue prosperity of Cape Canaveral.
In order to fulfill and meet the needs of the citizens of Cape Canaveral, what they have said they want for
their area, Sheldon Cove Plaza requires a single exception to the current height restrictions on commercial
buildings. In order to meet current building codes and the needs of the tenants, the proposed structure is
five stories with a building height of sixty five feet. The current restrictions do not allow construction of
structures over forty five feet. The location of the Plaza would not create any dramatic change of view for
residents nor directly affect any residential neighborhood because it is completely surrounded by
~cial property.

SUBJECT: Review and Provide Direction to Staff about Creating a Zoning Matrix for the Zoning Code
DEPT. /DNISION: Building Department
Requested Actiou:
Review and provide direction to staff about creating a zoning matrix for the zoning code.
Suuuuary Explanation & Backgrouud:
A zoning matrix had been suggested as part of the Land Development Code review. The idea is a to have a
more user-friendly document that is easy to read and understand.
The proposed zoning matrix was updated to reflect the comments from the 11128/07 P &Z meeting.

THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL
SUBJECT: Review and Recommend to Staff whether to Create an Open Space Provision within the
Code
DEPT. /DNISION: Building Department
Requested Action:
--------,---
ReView and recommend to staff whether or not to prepare a provision to include open space as a required
provision in the land development code.
Sununary Explanation & Background:
At recent workshops and council meetings the topic of open space has come up. The concern is there is not
enough open space being required. Generally, open space for individual lot has been provided for through
setbacks and necessary drainage areas. However, the setbacks are used for parking and the drainage can in some
cases be located underground or at one end or the other in small townhome projects. The information attached
discusses how open space is provided for in other cornmunities. It should be noted that the open space is often
, required in Plalliied Unit Developments (PUD), just like in the City's Residential Planned Unit Development
Section 110-438.
At the] ]/28/07 P&Z Board it was requested staff bring back open-space and green-space definitions for similar
cities to help better frame the issue. Attached are definitions found from various cities similarly situated. Staff
will present those definitions and discuss various option that may be considered.

Snnunary Explanation & Background:
At some recent P&Z and City Council meetings there have been conunents by residents that the developer did
not discuss the project with them. There really is no requirement to have community meetings with applicants
and the neighbors around the development. The creation of a CAPP process would have the developer meet
with the residents to discuss the project before going to public hearing. The idea is to resolve all the community
issues before bringing the project to public hearing. This would also greatly reduce confusion on the part of the
residents as to what is actually happening on the property.
At the 11/28/07 P&Z meeting, the board members expressed interest has how the CAPP would be implemented.
They did not want to add time and cost to the City and not be another impediment to t.he developer. There was
also discussion about when should a CAPP be necessary.
Staff will present suggested options to best implement a CAPP consistent with the comments raised by the P &Z
Board.

INTRODUCTION
Winter Springs residents and property owners are becoming increasingly
interested in development issues and more insistent on being involved in the
decisions that affect them. In an effort to meet the needs of this interested
community, the City has developed a program entitled Citizen Awareness and
ParticipatiorlPlilri (CAPP)to ensure early and effective citizen participation in
conjunction with proposed development applications.
\AJinter Springs' land Development code now requires project applicants to
create and implement a citizen partiCipation plan prior to gaining Planning
Division approval of the application and before any public hearing is scheduled.
The purpose of the Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan is to ensure that
both developers and citizens have adequate opportunities early in the planning
piOcess to discuss, deveiop an understanding of, and try to resolve
neighborhood issues related to the perceived or real impacts of a proposed
project. The Plan does not guarantee success, but is instead a tool to help guide
you during implementation of the CAPP program for your project.
This handbook is designed to assist you in implementing your Citizen
Awareness Participation Plan as required by the City's Land Development
Code.
@
The Citizen Participation Process
Winter Springs is experiencing a significant reemergence of civic
responsibility, citizen participation and neighborhood spirit. The Winter Springs
City Commission is committed to ensuring that this renewed interest is captured
and used productively in municipal decision-making, particularly as it relates to
land use and development issues. The City's Citizen Awareness and
Participation Plan requirement is designed to focus attention on the importance
of citizen participation early in the planning process and the relationship of that
participation to completing a successful development project in Winter Springs.
The Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan is designed to:
. Encourage early participation in the public review process.
. Open a dialogue between the applicant and affected
neighborhoods/property owners.
. Improve communication between the development community, citizens
and Winter Springs City government.
Three Easy Steps to Success
The citizen participation process consists of three steps.
1. Prepare a Citizen Participation Plan - This wiil be a written plan what
wiil describe how you intend to notify interested parties of your proposed
project and how those people will have an opportunity to comment on your
project. The plan will be reviewed by the City Planning Division. City staff
can help with much of the information that needs to be provided in the
plan, particularly in identifying issues that are likely to arise when you go
out to residents and property owners.
2. Implement the Plan - This is where you go out to the public and do what
the plan outlines. This handbook has information on where and how to
hold meetings, how to deal with conflicts, and successful ways to
approach the task of citizen participa'tion.
3. Report What Happened - This written report will be reviewed and
approved by City staff and will be given to the decision-making bodies for
their use during the formal public hearing process. It is a summary of
~
(sf)
-.-..
what was done, the issues and concerns raised during the process, and
what you have done or will do to address those issues.
Step One:
Developing a Citizen Participation Plan
The product will be a written plan that you will subrnit to the Planning Division.
City staff will review your draft plan, make comments and review your revisions,
just as for any other portion of your application. The staff can be used as a
resource for certain information as you prepare your plan.
Before you write your plan, you need to think about the following:
1. Who might be impacted by your project?
Who are the residents, property owners, businesses and others who might
be interested in your project? Who will be directly affected? Who will be
indirectly affected? Who will not be affected but think they will? Who may want
to get involved even though they realize they won't be affected? Differentiate
between groups based on impact. For example, most residents of a
neighborhood have different concerns depending on what part of the
neighborhood they're in. A resident living immediately next to your proposed
project's site may have different concerns - and more strongly held concerns _
than the rest of their neighborhood. A resident living on a busy collector street in
the neighborhood may h'ave much more concern about the traffic impacts of your
project than someone living on a cul-de-sac. Treating the entire neighborhood as
if they have uniform concerns may cause you to miss or gloss over important
issues.
2. What are the concerns, problems and issues related to your project,
as seen through the eyes of these people?
Put yourself in the place of these people. How will they see your project?
Will they view it as an enhancement to the neighborhood, or will they be
concerned that your project will create traffic that may adversely affect them?
Will they be concerned about the hours you plan to be open or the quality of
housing you intend to build? Try to predict what you will hear during the
participation process so you can be better prepared to respond. City Staff has
found that applicants that do a good job of thin king this through are better
prepared to discuss thorny issues with citizens.
3. How will you notify interested parties, and how will they be able to
comment on your project?
(is)
no
There are a number of citizen participation and notification techniques
which can be used in implementing your plan. Neighborhood meetings and
letters are the most common, but there may be other methods of communication
and interaction you might want to use. Applicants have had success with open
houses, tours of other projects, informational flyers, and news releases. What
will connect you with the people who need to know about your project? How can
you best inform them of what you want to do?
The written plan you submit to the Planning Division must include the
following information:
. Identification of which residents, property owners, interested parties,
politica I jurisdictions and public agencies may be affected by your project.
. How you will notify these people and agencies that you're making an
application for development?
. How you will inform these people and agencies of the deiaiis of your
project?
. How you will give the affected and interested people an opportunity to
discuss your proposal with you and let you know of any concerns, issues
or problems they may have?
. Your schedule for completing your citizen participation process.
..
. How you will keep the Planning Division informed as to the progress of the
implementation of your plan?
Step Two:
Implementing Your Plan
1. Getting the word out.
This may involve different techniques, but they all fall into two basic
categories; written communications and face-to-face discussion. Written
information is always a part of the participation process. Whether it's a
meeting notice or general information about your project, it's critical that you
give people background about your project, including a description of the
project, what process you're going through and what decisions related to the
project have already been reached. Don't assume that people know your
property has been designated for a shopping center for years. You need to
-
&if)
-
tell them. No meeting should be held without some written background
information having gone out beforehand.
To ensure that meeting notices are affective in getting people to your
meetings, you need to consider not just what you want to tell people in your
notice, but what form it should take. What techniques can make the
communication more effective? How can you help ensure people will read
your mail? Consider other ways of getting the word out, like door hangers,
homeowner association meetings or newsletters, local newspapers, etc.
It's important that all meeting notices get to people early enough so they
can make plans to attend your meeting. Notices of meeting should reach
invitees 10-14 days before the meeting. Later than that doesn't give people
adequate time. Sooner that that and people tend to forget.
When you schedule your meetings, look for other events or activities that
might conflict. Is it a holiday or the day before a holiday when a lot of people
are out of town? Is there a big local or neighborhood function that day?
2. Listening to issues, concerns, and problems.
The process of listening to the questions, concerns and problems you
hear from the public is critical to successful citizen participation and a
successful project. Your role in any contact with neighborhoods is not to try
and convince people your project is wonderful, but to identify questions and
concerns the public has about your project so you can address them.
Much of this listening is done through group meetings, so how they are
conducted can be critical to your success. You must convey to the people
attending that whiie you may not be able to do everything everyone wants,
you are listening; and the process you are using is fair and open. If someone
is going to go to the time~, expense and trouble to attend meetings, find baby-
sitters, rearrange their schedules and all the other inconveniences associated
with public participation, they need to believe there wi/I be a return to them in
having a quality development that doesn't hamr their way of life. If people see
your decision-making process as fair, they will be much more willing to accept
your proposal than if they think a project is being forced on them.
Make sure whoever you have on your team dealing with the public
understands the importance of listening and being non-confrontational. This
will help set the tone for the entire meeting.
3. Resoiving issues, concerns and problems.
What are you going to do about what you hear from the public? The
problem solving process may involve many meetings, contacts with individuals,
@
=------
and time to gather additional information. You may need to revise your plans
and bring them back to the public for further review. Don't feel you have to solve
everyone's concerns at one meeting. If they are confident you're working with
them to find solutions, people will be glad too put in the time and effort to work
toward those solutions.
Try to deal with people as directly as possible. Face-to-face
communication and the telephone are much better than communicating through
letters. Use letters as a follow-up and to formalize an agreement already
reached.
A large group will probably have a wide variety of issues and concerns.
Sometimes working with smaller groups, organized by the issue they are
particularly interested in, can be very effective in helping to reach solutions.
While breaking a large group into smaller ones can be very effective, sometimes
it can also give the impression that you're tying to "divide and conquer" the
opposition. Remember the goal is to effectively work toward solutions.
You want to work toward a solution with which all the affected public can
agree. Sometimes, however, this may not be possible. If you reach an Impasse,
recognize it, be clear about it, and move on to other issues. Resolving other
concerns can make the initial disagreements go away or make people more
amenable to compromise. If you have an interest group making completely
unreasonable demands on you, be clear about why you think they are
unreasonable. In the end, the public and the decision makers are able to tell
which concerns are legitimate and which aren't.
Once again, if you can't solve every problem to everyone's satisfaction,
you must at least show you have considered and addressed all issues and dealt
with them fairly and honestly.
Step Three:
Reporting On What Happened
When you have completed your participation process, you will need to compile a
written report that will summarize what has taken place and tell what you've done
to address concerns that arose. City staff will review your draft report to insure
that it is comprehensive and accurately reflects the process.
~
(y)
1. What techniques did you use to notify and involve the public
regarding your application?
Make a chronological list of all the meetings, mailings, telephone
conferences, open houses, newsletters, etc. that you employed in your
participation process. Include the number of people contacted and the number
that attended meetings. Include copies of written materials and publications,
letters, mailing lists, and sign-in sheets. Indicate on a map the general location
of people receiving notices.
2. What concerns, issues and problems did you hear during the
process?
Write a summary of what you heard at each meeting or during other
contact with the public as you carried out your plan. Be as comprehensive as
you can. Just because an issue was dealt with early on doesn't mean it won't be
important during the public hearing process.
3. How have you addressed or will you address the concerns,
issues and problems raised?
This is a critical part of the report for you, because this is where you can best
describe the reasonableness of your project issue-by-issue. Address each of the
concerns you listed in number 2 above, however minor or easily resolved. Write
a description of what you've done about each concern. If it's an issue you feel
was not legitimate, don't ignore it; this is your opportunity to explain why it's
unreasonable. Be as factual and straightforward as you can. Include details,
references to plans you've submitted, etc.
4. If there are concerns, issues and problems you aren't able to

TIPS FOR AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION
Eight Steps to Preparing a Presentation
1. Develop Objectives
Why are you doing this presentation? What results do you want to
achieve?
2. Consider the Audience
Who will be in attendance? Why do you think they are coming? What are
their interests, concerns?
3. Introduction
Capture the audience's attention and give them time to tune in on you and
other speakers. Set the tone for what is to come. This part of the
presentation can establish credibility.
4. State You Main Ideas and Supporting Ideas
Go from the general ideas to the more specific ideas.
5. State the Benefits
Tell your audience the benefits of your objectives.
6. Gather Facts
Make sure you put together evidence to support your main ideas.
7. Develop Visuals, Handouts, Notes
These materials should complement your presentation and not serve as a
distraction. Handouts should be made available following a presentation
unless you want the audience to look at them while you are explaining the
information.
8. Practice

planning to use equipment, test it before the presentation. Make sure the
room is arranged the way you want it.

TIPS FOR HANDLING D1FFICUL T
QUESTIONS/SITUATIONS/CONFRONTATION
Be aware that, in you audience, there will probably be people who support your
project - and those who don't. There will also be people who have not formed an
opinion before coming to the meeting. The goal of your presentation should be
to educate the people who haven't made up their minds yet about your project.
Once they have the information, they may be in a better position to support your
ideas.
Arch Lustberg, author of the book 'Winning When It Really Counts," is an expert
on effective communications. In dealing with confrontation, he suggests winning
over your adversaries with reason, courtesy and valuable new facts. His book
details the following suggestions regarding confrontation:
1. Pause. Think before you speak.
2. Stay calm and reasonable.
3. Don't get angry and keep control of your temper.
4. Refuse to take any attack personally.
5. 8e positive.
6. Give information rather than denials.
.. Be explanatory. Don't succumb to the temptation to argue.
f.
8. Take lots of time and don't run off at the mouth, argue, yell or
scream.
9. 8e the voice of reason
10. 8e the good guy, Mr. or Mrs. Nice.
11. Always assume your audience is smarter that you when it comes to
neighborhood issues.
