This item was presented by Jim Burnett, Planner III, Land Development Studio, City Planning Division. Using PowerPoint, Mr. Burnett presented the proposed project, staffs’ conditions and recommendation. Mr. Burnett noted that the main issue appeared to be parking-related. Chairperson Suarez opened the hearing to the public. The applicant was represented by:

1) Miranda Fitzgerald, Lowndes Law Firm, 215 N. Eola Dr., Orlando 32801, spoke on behalf of The Dinerstein Companies (the potential developer and purchaser) and stated that they were in agreement with staff’s conditions of approval and recommendation. She noted that the applicant had complied with all staff’s requirements. Ms. Fitzgerald stated that the parking issue could be addressed when Geosam inevitably sought approval to develop the remainder of the commercial site (Lot 2) and should not hold up approval of the proposed project.

2) Adam Beck, 3411 Richmond Ave., Suite 500, Houston TX, 77046, applicant for the residential development, stated he worked with City staff to provide surplus parking for the project to meet City codes. He also noted that he was willing to find a solution to the parking issue with Geosam.

The following speakers appeared before the Board:

1) Scott Baker, Zimmerman Law Firm, representing WSMS LLC, 6965 Piazza Grande Ave. Orlando 32835. Mr. Baker provided the board members with a copy of a document listing prior parking commitments between the owner (Geosam Veranda) and the City of Orlando. Mr. Baker noted that due to parking restrictions on Lot 4 and the fact that the proposed development was gated, it would result in a deficiency of 77 parking spaces. He requested the Board to condition the approval of the request by adding the deficient parking spaces.

John Rhoades, Project Manager II, Transportation Planning Division, and Jason Burton, City Planning Assistant Division Manager, responded to Board questions regarding the parking issues. They noted that the proposed project did meet City code requirements. Chairperson Suarez closed the public hearing and opened it up for Board discussion and/or a motion.


Discussion ensued among Board members regarding whether to defer the request or approve with added conditions addressing the parking issue. Chairperson Suarez stated he would prefer to recommend deferral in order to see more concrete terms or even a site plan with a layout of Lot 2 outlining how they would meet the parking deficit. All other Board members agreed to approve with added conditions relative to providing the deficient parking spaces.

Board member Anderson moved APPROVAL of the request, MPL2019-10021, subject to the conditions in

the staff report and the following added condition:

Add the amount of deficient parking spaces to Lot 2 or otherwise free up any restricted spaces, and

add additional landscaping to buffer the size of the larger parking area on Lot 2.

Board member Baker SECONDED the MOTION, which was VOTED upon and PASSED by a 6 to 1 vote

(Suarez voted Nay).
