1. Approval of Meeting Minutes: May 12, 2010.
Motion by Bea McNeely, seconded by Harry Pearson, to approve the meeting
minutes of May 12, 2010. Vote on the motion carried unanimously.
2. Continued Discussion & Recommendation to City Council Re: Proposed
Ordinance Amending Section 110-557. to Allow Commercial Parking
Facilities by pecial Exception in the C-1, M-1 and C-2 Zoning Districts
(tabled at previous meeting).
Barry Brown, Planning & Development Director, gave an overview of the agenda
item and staff report. He advised that he gave this request a considerable
amount of deliberation, and was involved in the Board's discussions. He
continued by stating that this was an appropriate use given the right location,
buffering, screening, and with the city's ability to limit the number of commercial
parking facilities; and the use should be allowed in C-1, C-2 & M-1. He advised
that he was not in support of parking garages. He commented that the
economics of paving and providing stormwater would preclude most people from
converting their vacant land into a commercial parking facility.

The Board held discussion regarding restricting hours of operation. Following
discussion, the Board members agreed that the hours of operation should be
flexible. Discussion was held regarding provisions for security. Following brief
discussion, the Board agreed that provisions should be added to individual
special exceptions. Discussion was held regarding the City's need for additional
parking. Bea McNeely commented that she recognized the need for parking and
believed the ordinance criteria was adequate. Discussion was held regarding
distance requirements between like establishments. Barry Brown pointed -out
that 1/3 mile was the distance requirement for vehicle rental facilities. Bea
McNeely suggested that the distance criteria for commercial parking be changed
to a 1/2 mile to create more space between them. Donald Dunn advised that he
would not support adding car lots on A1A, because they would not help or
improve the look of the City, and should only be allowed in the M-1 zoning
district. Ron Friedman believed that there was a need for commercial parking.
He noted that one of the car rental facilities was allowed a maximum of 28
vehicles and he recently counted 43 vehicles. He advised that another car rental
facility parks vehicle overflow on the grass, right up to the sidewalk. He
explained that since part of the vision was to have people come and walk around
town to restaurants and shops there would be a need for added parking. He
agreed with Mr. Porter that in our present economic times, it was a reasonable
request to get something out of the land now in terms of return, and when
economics improved those property owners will want to do something different
with their land.
John Johanson agreed that there was a need for parking. He noted that on the
south end of town from the A1A/N. Atlantic Avenue triangle south, there was a
need; however, the north end appeared not to have the same need. He advised
that new parking facilities would need to be built to the current code, because
there was no grandfathering, since the use as it stood now did not exist. He
voiced his opinion that this issue needed to be addressed at the same time as
the visioning so it was uniform with the vision. He commented that if the open
properties at the north end of the City were allowed to have commercial parking it
would be a huge mistake. He wanted the distance requirement to be 1/3 of a
mile south of the A1A split only, and no distance requirement for the north end.
John Fredrickson advised that he has lived in the City for 19 yrs. This morning
he drove from the north end of the City to the south end and looked at what his
town had to offer. He advised that along AIA, there were two carpet stores,
three car washes, three hotels, four gas stations, five car rental facilities, who
over park their lots and do what they want; and if they were a forewarning of
future parking lots then he wanted no part of it

John Fredrickson noted that there were at least 17 vacant lots, two outside
entertainment places, Fairvilla, and a few nice buildings; when he turned around
at the south end of the City and came back, he did not see a town that he would
like to live in. There was nothing from Route 528 south through the City. He
voiced his opinion that the City did not need a parking lot, because there was
nothing in Cape Canaveral that anyone would want to park their car and walk to
see.
He noted that the City paid $35,000 for visioning to find out how it could improve
and be something. The City did not even have a chance to vision, and the
requests were already coming through for commercial parking lots. Harry
Pearson voiced his opinion that there was no need for a minimum separation
between commercial parking lots. He commented that a 15 ft. buffer was
excessive. Barry Brown disagreed and added that along AIA 15 ft. should be
considered a minimum.
Discussion was held regarding the legal standing of the City's visioning.
Chairperson Russell advised that if the Board made a favorable or adverse
decision based on the visioning, it would have no legal standing. The only legal
standing that the members could base their decision on was the existing
Comprehensive Plan and the existing Zoning Code. He commented that the
Board had spent a lot of time on the visioning process, and it was unknown how
commercial parking would compliment or mess-up the coming visioning. He
advised that the vision was a facilitating plan and had no legal standing. Kate
Latorre, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the visioning plan did not have the
force of law, and it was a planning tool to be impetus to start adopting
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments, so the City could obtain
these things that have been included in the visioning. She did not see anything
wrong with looking at the visioning for purposes of analyzing the proposed
amendment to the City code. She noted that the visioning should be used as a
guide, and in reviewing the application, the Board should be reviewing it from a
planning and zoning perspective. John Fredrickson stated that the saying "build
them and they will come" was nonsense, because there was nothing here for
them to see. Chairperson Russell stated that an ordinance for commercial
parking was premature. Discussion continued.
John Porter, applicant, advised that most of his points were already made at
previous meetings and most of the five City Council members supported paid
parking at the beach ends and that this request may weigh-in favorably, for the
simple reason that if the City wants to do it, the taxpaying citizens should have
that same opportunity.

John Porter advised that many existing large parking lots on A1A were not well
buffered or attractive, because they were installed so long ago that the current
City code did not apply to them. He advised that his parking lot would be heavily
buffered, landscaped, and virtually unseen from A1A. He had no intention on
obtaining a special exception to enhance the resale value of the property. He
planned to cash flow the property and keep it long term. If the City did not
approve the ordinance, the City was going to have more of what it already had
right now. He noted that there was parking all around town in violation of City
code and pressure from existing infrastructure for more parking.
Chairperson Russell asked for audience comments. Leo Nicholas, citizen,
commented regarding commercial parking that the City already had. He noted
that the 800 Ib. gorilla already existed at the hotels on the City's north end. He
voiced his opinion that it should be legalized or addressed by code enforcement
for violation of the City code. Joyce Hamilton, citizen, advised that she travels up
and down AIA and has witnessed cars parked on grass areas. She believed
that there was a need for additional parking, but not necessarily on A1A. She
voiced a concern that one of the problems would be transporting people once
they park their vehicle at a commercial parking site.
At 8:20 p.m. Chairperson Russell called for a five minutes recess. He called the
meeting back to Order at 8:26 p.m.
Chairperson Russell reviewed the draft ordinance, including proposed special
exception conditions for commercial parking facilities. He advised that 1/3 of a
mile should be changed to a 1/2 mile; and condition #9 - hours of operation be
deleted as suggested by some of the Board members. Brief discussion followed.
Motion by Lamar Russell, seconded by Donald Dunn, to recommend that the City
Council disapprove the proposed ordinance to authorize paid commercial parking
facilities by special exception. Vote carried by a 4 to 1 vote, with members voting
as follows: Donald Dunn, for; John Fredrickson, for; Bea McNeely, against;
Harry Pearson, for; Lamar Russell, for.
Donald Dunn asked when a vehicle was considered storage. Kate Latorre
responded that it would be a business by business decision, because it was not
addressed in the City code.

STATE REASON FOR REQUEST (attach additional sheet if necessary):
5
5. C-1 Present Zoning Classification
6. As per site plan, which shows we have up to the newest codes starting in 07 and
finishing in 08 in safety and convenience for both traffic, pedestrian and emergency
flow.
7. We have never had complaints about the signs or exterior lighting. The Ace Hardware
on the building is a low light which is dimmer than most. The exterior lighting mostly
shines down along the building, some shine out just the length of the parking lot for the
customers and employees safety and security.
8. Our hours at Ace Hardware are as follows:
Monday — Saturday 7:30 am — 7:00 pm
Sunday 9:00 am — 5:00 pm
9. We have a total of 38 parking spaces 2 Handicapped
10. In 07, we updated the parking lot entrance, added more parking and walkways away
from the building for auto and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and
emergency access.
11. Our special exception will not change the amount of traffic as our merchandise has been
displayed the same since 2001.
12. We have never had problems since opening and have enlarged our loading and
unloading area in 2008 along with our addition.
What we would like to do is continue to display the merchandise like we have been
doing since 6/2001. We know from listening to other hardware stores doing business in
a strip or shopping center atmosphere that it is impossible to carry outside merchandise
as it is difficult to bring indoors due to weight, size, cleanliness, etc. We have always
embraced the ownership of a free standing store so we can merchandise these items
outside the business in a clean and orderly manner. Our building location is 50' from
the property line to the west, which runs parallel to A1A (Astronaut Blvd.) and 20' more
from the edge of A1A. We display along the south wall.
The first area is our wheels barrows, 64' from property line (84' from AIA). This
merchandised area is 3'6" x 11'6". next area is between our front doors, which is 3' x
11'4 Seasonal. Next area is along the building 4'8" x 28', where we display all our
bagged goods such as mulch, potting and top soil, etc. Next we have our concrete
goods and bagged stones/rock. This area is 4'8" x 15'. The items we display are a huge
part of our business and ties into a lot more items such as our garden center. We also
have a siitall island around an oak tree where we merchandise outside bag goods. We
believe our store would look closed if not out of business if not displaying this
merchandise. Customers have grown used to this and it would be detrimental to our
business if we could no longer sell these items.
If this was an eyesore, dangerous or unsafe it would be one thing. But it isn't. This is
