benefit the City to which Mr. Dickey responded the proposed use was in high demand, the
location had good access on both the east and west side, there was a traffic signal and all the
public services & utilities were in place. A repair shop has been operating at this location for

improve his business and help his employees. Mr. Friedman suggested rewording the amount of
vehicles and the drop off of vehicles in early morning should include conditions.

Meeting/Minutes
May 28, 2014
Mr. Leo Nicholas asked if the gas tanks were still in the ground and what was their condition
under the pavement. He inquired about the enclosed storage area. He was concerned about the
interior and would it be improved to a more appropriate condition along with the exterior
maintenance/service area.
Mr. Russell said the Code stated that all service work was to be performed on the inside. He
posed a question about state law and underground tanks. Assistant City Attorney Kopp stated
she would have to research that question.
Mr. Beal stated he was in compliance and registered with D.E.P. The underground tanks could
be backfilled or removed, but to replace them could be up to a quarter of a million dollar
investment. Above ground tanks were cheaper, safer and easier to install, but there had been no
push from D.E.P. They perform annual inspections and check monthly tank samplings.
Mr. Dennis Furdic stated he was a homeowner living near the property and did not want to look
at a U-Haul truck, stating it was not attractive.
Ms. Crystal, a member of the Cape Gardens Board was concerned there would be additional
traffic if the Special Exception were approved.
Ms. Lois Palmer stated if people purchased near commercial property, they should expect these
types of issues.
Mr. Kelly Flannigan, member of the Cape Gardens Board, brought up Dr. Fredrickson's question
about sale of gasoline. Mr. Beal said there would need to be more improvements to resume
selling gas.
Mr. Alan Katz stated he owned quite a few properties and asked if this property was near Yogi's
to which Mr. Price responded in the negative.
Mr. Kelly Flannigan, stated his concerns about the condition of the property and inquired if the
recommendations made by the Board were enforceable. Mr. Dickey stated that Code
Enforcement would enforce the conditions along with the recommendations.
Mr. Russell explained that conditions can be a part of a Special Exception recommendation to
the Board of Adjustment.
There were no further comments/questions.

1. Approval of Planning& Zoning Meeting Minutes- February 26,2014
Mr. Price asked the Board if they had any questions regarding approval of the minutes. Mr.
Friedman stated that it would be proper to state who made a motion and who seconded a
motion. Mr. Russell stated that the minutes should not be approved due to this being an issue
and approval should be deferred until the corrections were made. The Board Secretary stated
that she was not at the February 26, 2014 meeting and had transcribed the minutes via the
recording. She was unfamiliar with the voices and, therefore, was unable to make out who
moved/seconded the motions. Mr. Russell withdrew his comment and asked the Board to

the needed criteria per Code were checked off.
City Contracted Engineer John Pekar stated that stormwater had a broad range of criteria, D.O.T.
and county reviews. He explained that the project had a dry detention system and stormwater
would flow into a detention basin, some of which was open and some of which was covered. The
basin bottom was at elevation 4. The water quality was inspected in the last few days and there
was now going to be an under-drain beneath the basin. The system will meet all criteria for
D.O.T. and the county and will be in conformance with St. Johns requirements.

Meeting Date: 07/23/2014
Item No. 7i
Subject: Ordinance No. _ - 2014 amending Section 110-489 of the City of Cape
Canaveral Code of Ordinances to include "Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers in the
Cl, C2, and M1 zoning districts as Special Exception, and relating to Pain Management
Clinics.
Department: Community & Economic Development (C&ED)
Summary: The Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative (Amendment 2), is on the
November 4, 2014 ballot and, if approved, would legalize the cultivation, purchase,
possession and use of marijuana to treat "debilitating" diseases.
In anticipation of the November vote, it is proposed that the City adopt regulations
regarding the location of medical marijuana treatment centers. As drafted, the
ordinance would treat a marijuana treatment center similar to a pain management clinic
in that these facilities would be limited to property zoned Cl, C2, or M1 as a Special
Exception.
The proposed ordinance would require a treatment center to register with the state if
required by Florida law and would be required to be no less than one-half-mile away
from the nearest pain management clinic or medical marijuana treatment center —
regardless of the municipal boundaries of the city. Treatment centers would also be
required to be spaced a minimum of 1,000 feet from any public or private school or
daycare facility. On-site consumption of marijuana or alcohol would be prohibited.
As proposed, the treatment facility would be required to meet daily reporting standards
related to customers and number of prescriptions written as well as in-depth personnel
records of owners, operators, employees, workers, volunteers, etc. The proposal also
includes a provision for the Board of Adjustment to suspend or revoke the special
exception due to fraud, deceit, or violations of the terms or conditions of the City's
approval.

,�. '� : 4,• , Planning and Zoning Board
Meeting Date: 07/23/2014
Item No. 4
Subject: Zoning analysis of N. Atlantic Boulevard Corridor.
Department: Community & Economic Development (C&ED)
Summary: At its June 25, 2014 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Board directed staff to
provide an analysis of zoning and land uses within the N. Atlantic Boulevard corridor.
The following memo outlines current Future Land Use and zoning designations, actual
land use patterns, provided against a historical backdrop.
Zoning
Prior to the City's incorporation, the old S.R. 401 (N. Atlantic Ave.) was the primary
connector between the City and areas north. As such, the properties located along
each side of N. Atlantic Ave. were given a commercial designation as evidenced from
the City of Cape Canaveral 1964 Zoning Map (Attachment #1). This has remained
largely unchanged. When the Bee Line's eastern extension (Astronaut Blvd.) was
opened to traffic in 1967, commercial development pressures were focused on the new
road, leaving N. Atlantic Avenue without significant commercial development pressures.
As seen from the 1967 Zoning Map (Attachment #2), little had changed with respect to
zoning in the corridor. The City had annexed several parcels on the north end of the
corridor, which had been zoned M-2, medium density industrial.
Other than a re-designation of the industrial parcels to General Industrial, very little
changed between 1967 and 1971 (Attachment #3). On the 1975 zoning map
(Attachment #4) we see the first significant change within the corridor as a portion of the
industrial district had been rezoned to C-1.
By 1983 the changes to the zoning map within the corridor had escalated with more of
the industrial property in the northern area being rezoned to commercial and three large
blocks of commercial and industrial property being rezoned to R-2 (Attachment #5). As
seen from the 1999 zoning map (Attachment #6), very little had changed to the zoning
since 1983.
Today, the zoning pattern within the N. Atlantic Boulevard Corridor has changed little
from that found in 1983. This indicates very little rezoning activity in the intervening 30
years.
Future Land Use
The Future land Use Map series is a policy statement that provides a vision for how a
property/area/corridor should develop over a long-term planning horizon. It is a guide to
assist decision makers when considering individual land use issues.
As indicated in the City's Comprehensive Plan:
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Date: 07/23/2014
N. Atlantic Corridor Analysis
Page 2 of 3
GOAL LU-1: The overall goal for the City of Cape Canaveral for future land
use is to ensure the proper relationship among residential, commercial,
industrial, recreational and other activities in order to maximize the efficient
use of land, accessibility to the circulation system and general compatibility
among the land uses.
Future Land Use designations within the corridor mirror zoning designations. Future
land use has stayed fairly constant since its inception in 2003.
The following table is taken from the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report which was
completed in 2008. Although it provides numbers for the City as a whole, the table
illustrates the larger land use demands exerted on the City.

Existing Land Use
A community's existing land use pattern is a visible indicator of how well the
Comprehensive Plan is being implemented. This can be partly seen by comparing the
Future Land Use map with a map of Existing Land Use. When this is done for the
Corridor, it is clear that very little of the land use goals for this area have been
implemented.
As indicated above, Future Land Use for the Corridor consists primarily of C-1
Commercial and to a smaller degree, R-2 Residential. Existing Land Use consists of
multi-family residential and vacant property. This is followed by single-family residential
and industrial. A small amount of commercial exists, primarily in the southern portion of
the Corridor (see Attachment #8).

Item No. 5
Subject: Discussion of Expansion of A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District.
Department: Community & Economic Development (C&ED)
Summary: At its July 17, 2012 meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance #11-2012
adopting the A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD). The following memo
outlines the process leading up to that event, impacts of the adoption of the EOOD, as
well as possible expansion scenarios.
The genesis of the EOOD lies in the 2009 Community Visioning process. The objective
of the EOOD was to address community goals raised in the Visioning process. In
particular, to create a sense of identity for the City's northern gateway, leverage
opportunities for economic development related to Port Canaveral, attract services
desired by the citizens, and allow for additional uses such as a mixed-use, town center
type development.
To that end, the EOOD was established and included design standards, a mechanism
for increased building heights, revised hotel requirements, increased landscaping
requirements, and facilitated mixed-use development. These new standards created an
"overlay" which enhanced the underlying zoning regulations. The EOOD runs along the
A1A corridor from the Port in the north to the Canaveral River area in the south (see
Attachment#1).
The Homewood Suites Hotel at 9000 Astronaut Boulevard was recently reviewed under
the EOOD guidelines. According to the Development Company this significant project
would not have been feasible if not for the rules contained within the EOOD.
Specifically, the height provisions and the elimination of a minimum lot size for hotel
development.
As the City continues to experience development pressure along the A1A corridor, it is
critical that consistent rules are established that both encourage development, but also
guide it to meet community standards. The development market and our experience
since the 2009 Visioning sessions have signaled the need for a consistent, seamless
development pattern throughout the entire length of the A1A corridor. This will help
create the sense of identity that was called for in the Visioning process.
This proposal expands the current boundaries of the EOOD to include the balance of
the A1A corridor to the southern City limits. Specifically, those properties that are within
both the Community Redevelopment Area and the Brownfield district (see Attachment
#2). Both of these districts were created to support redevelopment and were
demarcated by following established criteria consistent with Florida Statute. In addition,
there are properties adjacent to the existing District (near Port facilities) that may be
appropriate for inclusion.
The current A1A EOOD Code can easily be revised to incorporate the proposed
expansion. As Cape Canaveral is situated between two major tourism engines - the
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Date: 07/23/2014
Expansion of A1A Economic Opportunity Overlay District
Page 2 of 2
Port and Cocoa Beach - many of the same development pressures found in the
northern portion of the corridor are found in the expansion area.
In summary, Staff is proposing the attached revisions to the EOOD Code and map and
would like input/direction from the Planning & Zoning Board.
Applicant/Owner: Administrative
Submitting Director: David Dickey \ Date: 07/14/2014
Attachments:
#1 —A1A EOOD Map (Current)
#2 —A1A EOOD Map (Proposed Expansion)
#3 —A1A EOOD Code (as revised)
The C&ED Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board take the
following action(s): Provide Staff direction regarding the Expansion of A1A Economic
Opportunity Overlay District.

DIVISION 1 - GENERALLY
Sec 110-585. - Introduction.
(1 ) The Al A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) provides guidelines and
standards for public and private development projects in commercially zoned areas along
within the Al A corridor. Consistent with the intent of the 2009 Community Visioning, the
EOOD is developed to promote hospitality related commercial development that
capitalizes on the City's proximity to tourism generators such as economic benefits of Port
Canaveral and to leverage the City's long association with the world's most famous space
launch facilities; provide guidance and direction in the design of new buildings and
rehabilitation of existing buildings and storefronts in order to improve their appearance,
enhance the corridor's identity and promote the pedestrian environment of the District.
(2) All projects within the boundaries of the Al A EOOD shall comply with the following Design
Guidelines and Development Standards. These requirements have the overall goal of
encouraging compact, pedestrian-oriented developments and attractive public outdoor
spaces. The EOOD is designed to create a unique identity for the Al A Corridor with a
distinct sense of place while attracting new businesses and customers, and providing for
the comfort, convenience, and safety of workers, residents and shoppers.
(3) The Al A EOOD Design Guidelines and Development Standards set forth in this Article
shall be in addition to and not in substitution of the underlying zoning district regulations
and other regulations contained in this Code which shall also remain applicable to the Al A
EOOD. The Al A EOOD Design Guidelines and Development Standards of this Article will
govern development and redevelopment within the Al A EOOD and will control where
conflicts between regulations occur.
Sec. 110-586. - Boundary and organization.
The boundaries of the Al A EOOD are shown on Figure 1. The Al A EOOD primarily consists of
properties zoned for commercial, office, and industrial uses which abut or are in close proximity to
Al A from the City Limits on the north to Canaveral River arca the City Limits on the south.

Figure 1 - Economic Overlay District Boundary Map
Cape Canaveral EOOD—July 2014 Planning Design Group Page 14
Sec. 110-587. - Applicability.
(1 ) The Al A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) is an approximately two and
one-half ermile commercial corridor, generally recognized as extending from the
entrance to the City of Cape Canaveral on the north to the Canaveral Rivcr arca City
Limits to erg the south. The is approximately one mile corridor is intersected by Central
Boulevard which generally runs east-west.
(2) The arca of the EOOD District along Al A is intended to serve as the main gateway into
thoroughfare of the City of Cape Canaveral. The area of the District along Central
Boulevard is intended to serve as the main street to the City of Cape Canaveral's Town
Center and as a transition between the land use, circulation, and streetscape along Al A
and the Town Center. This District is intended to have the most intense commercial and
residential uses. The EOOD is meant to provide a lively and attractive interface between
the proposed Town Center and the adjacent residential communities, while maintaining a
primarily commercial street frontage along Al A and Central Boulevard.
(3) The streets will have a retail/commercial service atmosphere with small or large
neighborhood stores at street level and apartments or offices on upper floors. The retail
composition of the district shall include stores, personal services, hotels, cultural facilities,
hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, convenience stores with gas, high tech manufacturing,
entertainment, and eating establishments including rooftop restaurants that serve the
EOOD as well as stores, eating establishments, and business services (printing, accounting,
etc.) that serve the other businesses and office users in the area. Residential uses shall be
limited to upper floors along Al A and Central Boulevard within the Economic Opportunity
Overlay District.
(4) The main street component of the District is intended to provide a mixed-use, pedestrian-
oriented focus for the proposed Town Center, with land uses serving Town Center residents
and visitors. This District provides the City of Cape Canaveral with a small-town style
walkable center that is convenient, useful, safe and attractive for pedestrians and lively,
yet relaxed. Small-scale retail and other commercial uses shall occupy as much of the
ground floor frontages along Central Boulevard as the market will bear. Upper floors
shall be office or residential along these two main streets. This District shall provide for a
diversity of housing types to serve a broad segment of the community. Side street
frontages and the rears of parcels shall be composed of multi-family, townhouse,
duplex/triplex, or detached single-family residential uses at townhouse densities. This
District also shall provide the potential for continuum-of-care developments such as
independent, assisted living and skilled care facilities.
Sec. 110-588. - Purpose.
The purpose of these design guidelines and standards are to provide flexibility in the uses and
design requirements for the Al A EOOD, while setting minimum design standards to facilitate
quality development. These standards will guide future development and redevelopment within
the City of Cape Canaveral so that it creates more vital commercial cores and corridors, protects
adjacent residential neighborhoods and neighborhood commercial centers, promotes the use of
quality building materials, enhances the streetscape on all public streets, and continues to improve
the image and pride in the city.
Sec. 110-589. - Goals.
The Al A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) provides design guidelines and
standards which are intended to promote and enhance the identity of the District. Specifically, the
goals of the EOOD are:
Cape Canaveral EOOD—July 2014 Planning Design Group Page 15
(1 ) To create attractive, functional, and lasting buildings and places.
(2) To encourage the design, construction and operation of buildings and places that are
environmentally responsible, sustainable and healthy places to live, work, and play.
(3) To promote development and redevelopment that preserves and enhances the physical
appearance of the corridor and contributes to the District's unique sense of place.
(4) To encourage the use of quality materials in development and redevelopment.
(5) To encourage development that adds to a pedestrian friendly retail environment and
contributes to the safety and comfort of both pedestrian and automobile traffic.
(6) To provide direction in site planning and to ensure a high degree of design quality in
development within the Al A EOOD through the use of Design Guidelines and Standards.
(7) To enhance and protect the commercial corridors and primary entrances into the City of
Cape Canaveral.
Sec. 110-590. - Objectives.
(1) The design guidelines and standards are intended to address the built environment within
the City of Cape Canaveral and to recognize aesthetic design as an integral part of the
planning and development process.
(2) The guidelines and standards are intended to ensure that the appearance of new
development, infill development, and redevelopment is representative of the City of Cape
Canaveral's Community Vision.
(3) The guidelines and standards will enable development to occur in a manner that is not
only beneficial and worthwhile for the developers and property owners, but the
development will also have a positive impact on the surrounding properties,
neighborhoods, citizens, and the entire city.
Sec. 110-591. - Design principles.
The Al A Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD) is based upon a set of design principles.
These principles are:
(1 ) Consistency: The Al A Commercial corridor features a mixture of development types
including office buildings, hotels and convention facilities, strip-commercial centers,
neighborhood-serving retail, nighttime entertainment uses, attractions, and restaurants.
Design of these structures has been influenced by use, age, and site dimensions. Within the
context of these constraints, developments can achieve the principle of consistency through
selection of colors, exterior surface materials, scale, rhythm, proportions, landscaping and
sign programs.
(2) Activity: Active street life, which can be enhanced by design considerations, is a major
component of thriving pedestrian commercial districts. There are many opportunities to
insert options for increased street-level pedestrian activity along Al A. Through building
orientation, circulation, storefront design and landscaping, development can further
promote the principle of safe pedestrian activity.
(3) Pedestrian Orientation: Pedestrian orientation can be achieved through storefront
ornamentation, reduction of blank surfaces, building articulation, proportion, rhythm, color,
and texture. Guidelines and Standards based upon this principle address wall surfaces,
windows, awnings, signage, and architectural treatments.
(4) Safety: Public safety is critical to the success of a commercial district. Public safety in this
case refers not only to safety from criminal activity, but also creating an environment in
which pedestrian and automobile traffic can safely coexist. The design and development
of commercial centers and the public open space adjacent to them shall include
Cape Canaveral EOOD—July 2014 Planning Design Group Page 16
considerations of public safety. Public safety issues can be addressed through site
planning considerations such as the location of parking lots, lighting, signage and
landscaping.
(5) Simplicity: Design Guidelines and Standards for the Al A Economic Opportunity Overlay
District shall provide for public convenience by clearly identifying the nature of the
business and communicating points of ingress and egress for pedestrian and automobile
traffic. These issues can be addressed through architectural treatments as well as through
site planning considerations such as the location of parking lots, lighting, signage and
landscaping.

Sec. 110-683. - Intent.
Through the use of a variety of vegetation such as trees, shrubs, ground cover, perennials and
annuals, as well as other materials such as rocks, water, sculpture or paving materials,
landscaping unifies streetscape and provides a positive visual experience. Landscaping also can
emphasize sidewalk activity by separating vehicle and pedestrian traffic, provide shade, define
spaces, accentuate architecture, create inviting spaces and screen unattractive areas. Also, since
water resources are limited and water restrictions are commonplace in East Central Florida,
especially in the coastal areas, the city is incorporating water-efficient landscape standards as a
means to help conserve water use for landscaping.
