Atlantic Avenue ® Post Office Box 326 ® Cape Canaveral, FL 32920-0326 Telephone: (321) 868-1222 • Fax: (321) 868-1247 www.myflorida.com/cape $ email: ccapecanaveral@cfl.rr.com Date: February 4, 2009 To: Planning and Zoning Board members From: Barry Brown, Planning and Zoning Director RE: February 11, 2009 P&Z Board Meeting We have two action items on the agenda for this meeting. The first item is the election of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. The second item is an ordinance that amends our code regarding the subdivision of land. Specifically, it requires that all subdivisions of land be approved by the City Council by plat or by a newly created lot split procedure. In the past, land has been subdivided by property owners without review and approval by the City. This has resulted in lots that do not have the size and configuration to properly accommodate future development and creates access management issues such as too many curb cuts (driveways) and a lack of cross access from one parcel to another. Under the new ordinance, all subdivisions of land will be reviewed by Staff and approved by the City Council either by ordinance or resolution. If the subdivision of land creates more than one additional lot, the subdivision must be done by plat and according to the platting procedure. Proposed plats will be taken to the Planning and Zoning Board for review and recommendation and adopted by ordinance by the City Council. In order to expedite the creation of a single additional lot, a one-time lot split procedure is also being created. A proposed lot split would be reviewed by Staff and approved by the City Council by resolution. These are much needed revisions to our code and will serve the community well. Visioning Update We are at the point in the Visioning process where we need to select a Citizens' Visioning Committee. The purpose of the Citizens' Visioning Committee is to oversee the visioning process and create a true citizens' ownership of the visioning and its results. The Citizens' Visioning Committee is a group of 7 to 12 Cape Canaveral volunteers who have demonstrated an interest in the City's future. The Committee will be comprised of business, civic and government leaders, as well as other interested parties who will champion the process and elicit participation and support from the community. The Committee should as best as possible represent the major stakeholder groups within the City. Committee members should be persons who live, own property, or operate businesses within the City. They should also have a standing in the Community that will lend credibility to the visioning. The primary responsibilities of the Citizens' Visioning Committee include: • Assist in identifying the Community's key stakeholders • Invite participation of these Stakeholders in the Visioning Process • Host and Participate in all Visioning Workshops • Identify with City Staff the key outcomes of each Visioning Workshop • Communicate the results of the Visioning Workshops to the City Council • Encourage the implementation of the Community Vision. The process for selecting the Citizens' Visioning Committee was discussed at the Council meeting on Tuesday Feb. 3, 2009 and will be formalized at a Council Workshop on Thursday Feb. 12, 2009 at 5:30pm. Staff is proposing that the Business and Cultural Development Board serve as the core of the Committee. Several other members will be added with an emphasis on providing the greatest representation of the various stakeholder groups. The BCD Board will meet on Tuesday February 10, 2009 at 3pm to discuss their participation on the Citizens' Visioning Committee. Recommendations from the City Council and others will be submitted to City staff. Staff will make selections and after prospective candidates have been vetted and contacted; the final committee membership will be ratified by the City Council.

OPEN DISCUSSION Barry Brown, Planning Director, advised that the City Council approved the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council contract to handle the city's visioning process, not to exceed $43,000. He encouraged the Board members to participate in the visioning process. He gave an overview of the visioning process. Discussion followed. John Johanson voiced a concern regarding insufficient parking for condominium units with individual driveways. He explained that each townhouse unit is required to have three parking spaces, and a condominium unit is only required to have two parking spaces. He advised that the condominium units do not have sufficient parking on their driveways, so they park their vehicles on the road in front of their units or on the driveway with their vehicles extending over the sidewalk, which creates a pedestrian safety concern. He suggested that the City code be changed to require condominium units to have a sufficient number of parking spaces. Brief discussion followed. Barry Brown, Planning_ Director, advised that he would research the matter and bring the issue back for further discussion at the next meeting.
