July 16, 2019

the Mission is to raise awareness to ensure that the character and culture are protected for future generations, noting for there to be horses and the horse industry there must be farmland available. The organization was founded in June of 2018 when a group of like­minded advocates joined together to raise awareness as to the importance of horse farms and the Farmland Preservation Area. The catalyst for this was the Florida Department of Transportations (FDOT) threat to put a toll road through the heart of the County's most precious horse farms, as well as the Farmland Preservation Area. Bernie Little, President, Horse Farms Forever, advised that the organization does not oppose the Coastal Connector toll road, just the routes FDOT proposed through horse farms and the Farmland Preservation Area. He stated Marion County's population is growing and the housing and transportation systems must grow too; however, that growth should be well planned and well thought out, especially in the Farmland Preservation Area. Commissioner Moore thanked Horse Farms Forever for their efforts towards horse farm preservation. Commissioner Bryant expressed appreciation to the Horse Farms Forever organization. Chairman Stone concurred.

The Five-Year plan outlines the needs assessment, market analysis, strategic plan and one-year action plan for the County. The plan also proposes the CDBG, HOME and ESG budget along with its anticipated projects. Marion County's Citizen Participation Plan requires that Community Services hold two public hearings on the proposed plan. The first public hearing was advertised in- the Ocala Star Banner on October 17,2018 and the hearing held on November 28, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. The purpose of the first hearing is to gather citizens' suggestions and ideas on the needs that the County may address in the plan. The purpose of the second public hearing is to provide an additional opportunity for the public to comment in person on the draft final plan. An ad appeared in the Ocala Star-Banner on June 8, 2019 giving notice of the proposed plan, and included the comment period and instructions on how to submit comments. The required 30-day public comment period commenced on June 24,2019 and ends on July 23,2019. All comments received during the public comment period and public hearing will be included in the plan and considered by staff. The Five Year Consolidated Plan 2019­2023 will be presented to the BCC for approval on August 6,2019. Budget/Impact: None. Recommended Action: Motion to approve Public Hearing for Public Comment on the HUD Five-Year Consolidated Plan FY 2019-2023 and Annual Action Plan FY 2019­2020.

Deputy Clerk Windberg presented Proof of Publication No. A000954124 entitled, "Notice of Public Hearing and Public Comment Period Proposed 5 Year 2019-2024 Consolidated Plan, Proposed FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan" published in the Star Banner newspaper on June 8, 2019. The Notice states the Board will consider the HUD Five-Year Consolidated Plan FY 2019-2023; Annual Action Plan FY 2019-2020; and CDBG, HOME and ESG grants. Community Services Director Martin advised that per 24 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.105 by HUD; and Resolution 19-R-024, Marion County Citizen Participation Plan; Marion County is required to hold a public hearing to elicit comment on the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

The Board considered Small Scale Plan Amendment No. 19-503 by Todd B. Rudnianyn Tr. And James H. Sweeney III, Tr., (owners/applicants), 2441 NE 3rd Street, Suite 201, Ocala, FL, for a Land Use Change, Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Marion County Land Development Code, from High Residential to Commercial, on approximately 7.74 acres of Parcel Account No. 35699-006-04. Senior Planner Chris Rison advised that this is a paired application with a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a rezoning request. The request is for a site located off of Southwest 95th Street, east of SW 60th Avenue, which was previously part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a 10 acre parcel. He stated the northern portion of the original parcel is now part of the Freedom Crossing residential PUD and the southern portion of the property is currently commercially designated. Mr. Rison stated the application for the Small Scale Amendment is to convert a portion of the property from High Density Residential to Commercial to create a unified site to the southern portion of the property. The rezoning request will make the commercially designated area zoned B-2 (Community Business), which would be consistent with the properties to the west. The Commercial area would form a perimeter around Freedom Crossing Residential PUD. Staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and the rezoning request. Todd Rudnianyn, NE 3rd Street, Suite 201, advised that originally a blended overlay was utilized, which allowed for commercial and residential throughout the parcel as a mixed use project. There is an existing berm on the east end of the property. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. Bob Morgan, SW 128th Avenue, Dunnellon, addressed concern with the increased number of zoning changes that continue to come before the Board and the number of vacant commercial buildings in the County. Chairman Stone advised that public comment is now closed. Mr. Rudnianyn advised that the site is infill and essentially, they are trying to make it uniform for the community. A motion was made by Commissioner Zalak, seconded by Commissioner Moore, to adopt Ordinance 19-14 adopting Small Scale Plan Amendment No. 19-503, agreeing with the Growth Services staff and the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the land use change will not adversely affect the public interest, is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, is consistent with Chapter 163, FS and the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0). Ordinance 19-14 is entitled:

Senior Planners Kimberleigh (Kim) Dinkins advised that staff received one electronic mail (email) in opposition of the Special Use Permit. The opposition was related to noise concerns. She stated the kennel has been in operation for approximately 6 years and staff included Conditions that will mitigate noise concerns. Commissioner Bryant stated there have been no complaints in the 6 years the applicant has been operating. Ms. Dinkins concurred, noting the applicant has already implemented all of the practices identified in the Conditions. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. Susan Soltysiak, SE 132nd Court, Weirsdale, commented on the lengthy adoption process that takes place for the puppies and the quality of care provided by the applicant. Chairman Stone advised that public comment is now closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Zalak, seconded by Commissioner Bryant, to adopt Resolution 19-R-238 granting the Special Use Permit with Conditions 1 through 11, agreeing with Growth Services staff and the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect the public interest.

Mr. Martsolf stating an anonymous call came into his office advising that the applicant was selling alcohol on Sunday and that there was a new owner. Staff has visited the location and no violations were found. Mr. Odom advised that there was a Special Use Permit that began in 2017. The original timeline was to last until July 19, 2021, but with the sale of the business the timeline will be changed with the new Special Use Permit and will expire on July 16, 2022. He stated the Special Use Permit, if approved, could be renewed Administratively as long as there were no violations of any of the Conditions or other Code Enforcement violations. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Odom advised that the proposed language is similar to the language in the original Special Use Permit. He stated the applicant is aware that there is not a Special Use Permit in place at this time. Commissioner Moore questioned if there were any concerns expressed by members of the church or attendees of the park. Mr. Odom advised that staff has not received any negative correspondence related to this item. A motion was made by Commissioner Zalak, seconded by Commissioner Gold, to adopt Resolution 19-R-239 granting the Special Use Permit with Alternate Approval Conditions 1 through 4, agreeing with Growth Services staff and the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect the public interest. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0). Resolution 19-R-239 contained the following Conditions:

1. Liquor sales shall be limited to the hours of 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, and 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Fridays and Saturdays. No liquor sales will be allowed on Sundays.

1481. Request to Uphold DRC's Denial Regarding Multiple Utilities LDC Waivers for Neighborhood Storage Center #5 (NSC 5) Expansion Parcel Number 31410-000-00, Application Number 23500 The Board considered the following recommendation from Growth Services Director Sam Martsolf, on behalf of the Development Review Committee (DRC):

Description/Background: 1. Section 6.14.2.C(1) - Water Connection Requirements of the Land Development

Code provides that all new developments shall connect to an existing central water system if a system with available capacity has distribution lines within a distance equal to or less than 400 feet times the total number of ERCs within the project at build out. The applicant's statement of justification for the requested waiver is as follows:

The applicant requests waiver because there are no planned bathrooms in the new buildings, only hose bibs. Historical flow measurements at this and other sites show extremely low water usage so continued operation of the existing well is justifiable. Hose bibs would be a de minimis impact on the aquifer.

DRC action on June 3, 2019, by a vote of 5-0, was to deny the request. 2. Section 6.14.4.E - Total Capital Charges of the Land Development Code

provides that total capital charges shall be based on ERC units multiplied by the current connection charges as set forth in Ordinance 08-27, as amended. The applicant's statement of justification for the requested waiver is as follows:

The applicant requests a waiver for no charges for water and reduced charge for sewage. Current charges set by Ordinance 08-27, wherein gpd flow converted to ERC's for calculation of developer connection costs are not in line for this type of establishment. Attached spreadsheet shows 2 weeks of flow at this site and 10 months of meter readings at a similar site.

DRC action on June 3, 2019, by a vote of 5-0, was to deny the request. 3. Section 6.18.2.B - Fire Flow of the Land Development Code provides that all new

developments and new or altered commercial occupancies over 1,200 square feet in size, excluding single-family residences or duplexes, shall provide a fire department water supply as stated in this section of code. The applicant's statement of justification for the requested waiver is as follows:

The applicant requests a waiver for use of fire water storage tank because, although central water is available, it is not economically feasible to bore and jack under Baseline Road to wet tap the 12" main and install other applicable appurtenances.

DRC action on June 3,2019, by a vote of 5-0, was to deny the request for the dry hydrant based on the previous denial for connection to water and then a fire hydrant will have to be installed, or fire hydrants, based on the engineer's decisions. Budget/Impact: None. Recommended Action: Motion to uphold the Development Review Committee's (DRC's) denial regarding multiple utilities LDC waivers for Neighborhood Storage Center #5 (NSC 5) expansion parcel number 31410-000-00, application number 23500.

Mr. Martsolf commented on the waiver request by Neighborhood Storage Center #5 (NSC 5) Expansion and the DRC recommendation for denial.

Commissioner Gold out at 2:34 p.m. Environmental Services Director Jody Kirkman advised that the applicant was able to work with Marion County Fire Rescue staff to utilize the existing system with the addition of a hydrant to meet the fire flow requirements. He stated the department was able to address all other issues and the waivers are no longer required. Mr. Bouyounes advised that no further action is required at this time.

14C. Planning and Zoning Items for Individual Consideration: 14C1. 190715RA- Gilberto and Zindia Rodriquez, Reasonable Accommodation The Board considered a petition by Gilbert and Zindia Rodriguez, 14430 SW 18th Place, Ocala, FL, (owner/applicants) for a Reasonable Accommodation under the Fair Housing Act, for the opportunity for neighboring property owners to present any factual information that should be considered with respect to any adverse impacts that might affect neighboring properties by the granting of the application to keep 2 miniature goats on the subject property, and what reasonable conditions might improve the effect of this situation, in an R-1 (Single Family Dwelling) zone, on approximately .47 Acres, on Parcel Account Nos. 2001-009-016 and 2001-009-017. Senior Planner Chris Rison provided a brief overview of the request for Reasonable Accommodations for 2 miniature goats. Growth Services Department is recommending approval upon observance of the following Conditions:

1. A maximum of two (2) miniature goats shall be allowed to be kept on the subject property, which shall be maintained as a single holding including both lots (16 & 17). In the event the lots are split/separated, the Special Use Permit shall terminate.

2. The miniature goats shall not be allowed to roam free in the neighborhood, and shall be contained on-site through appropriately acceptable means (e.g., pens, pastures, runs, etc., all suitably fenced).

3. The Special Use Permit shall run with the property owners (Gilberto and/or Zindia Rodriguez) and not the property.

4. The owners (Gilberto and Zindia Rodriguez) shall reside on-site, and in the event Gilberto Rodriguez no longer resides on the property, the Special Use Permit shall expire.

5. The Special Use Permit shall expire upon the functional removal of the two (2) miniature goats from the subject property. Temporary removal of either, or both, miniature goats to accompany the patient Gilberto Rodriguez when away from the property, or to provide care for the miniature goat(s) (e.g., veterinarian, etc.), shall not be considered functional removal.

6. The Special Use Permit shall expire upon the termination and/or expiration of the doctor's written finding/prescription of the need for a therapeutic service animal for Gilberto Rodriguez.

In response to Commissioner Moore, Mr. Minter advised that Reasonable Accommodation requests are similar to Special Use Permits, noting a Reasonable Accommodation does not mean any accommodation that a person requests. For instance, the Board, after hearing public comment, could consider whether a single goat or another type of animal will be an adequate Reasonable Accommodation. It is up to the Board's discretion based on the evidence heard during the proceeding. Commissioner Gold returned at 2:39 p.m.

India Rodriguez, SW 18th Place, commented on her husband's medical issues and advised that the goats are companion animals for him while she is at work. She stated the property and animals are well maintained Chairman Stone questioned how long the goats have been at the residence. Ms. Rodriguez stated the goats have lived on the property for approximately 7 months. In response to Commissioner Moore, Ms. Rodriguez advised that medical documentation was submitted with the application. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. There being none, Chairman Stone advised that public comment is now closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Bryant, seconded by Commissioner Gold, to approve the Reasonable Accommodations with Conditions 1 through 6. Commissioner Zalak questioned if there is a pen or fenced in area on the property. Mr. Rison advised that chain link fencing covers the pen in the center of the property and the overall property is fenced, as shown on the overhead screens. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).

14C2. 19-L02 - Shores Sand Mine LLC., Commerce District to Commerce District with Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill, 43.69 Acres (Transmittal Hearing) The Board considered transmittal of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 19-L02 by Shores Sand Mine, LLC, c/o Stan Salser, (owner/applicant), 4171 SE 20th Street, Ocala, FL, from Commerce District to Commerce District with Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill on 43.69 acres of Parcel Account No. 9030-0728-01. (with 190202SU) Senior Planner Dinkins advised that Items 14C2 and 14C3 are companion Land Use Amendment and Special Use Permit requests. The application is for a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris landfill in Marion County, which requires a Land Use Amendment. The property is located on Emerald Road, south of Maricamp in Silver Springs Shores. It is roughly 43.7 acres and zoned M-1 (Light Industrial) and R-3 (Multiple Family Dwelling). She stated the future land use is Commerce District, which was rezoned administratively in 2014 with the overall Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The requested R-3 zoning is not consistent with the Commerce District Land Use and would need to be addressed if the applicant desired to develop the property for residential use. Ms. Dinkins stated in 1997 the Board approved a Special Use Permit for a sand mine and the criteria in the Special Use Permit required it to be reclaimed and suitable for Industrial or Residential uses at the end of life of the mine. The requirement is demonstrated in the minutes of the Board meeting and identified in Condition 3 and 11 of the Special Use Permit. She advised that an application came before the Board in 2005, which was denied for the same reasons that staff has recommended denial today. After 2005, the Board enacted a Springs Protection Ordinance, which increased standards for C&D landfills and prohibited those in areas with karst features. The subject area is dominated by Light Industrial Use to the north and east and single family homes to the south and west. Within a half mile radius there are 850 home sites, approximately 300 of those are built and 90 of them were built since the 2005 application was denied. Ms. Dinkins advised that both staff and P&Z Commission recommend denial of the request based on the site being in the Primary Springs Protection Zone and in an area identified in the Comprehensive Plan as most vulnerable for karst activity and groundwater contamination. She stated the site is in close proximity to residential lots that are utilizing wells for their water needs and there are some staff concerns about the proposed site plan,

noting the plan does not address leachate and containment, treatment, or setbacks that are adequate for the Land Development Code (LDC), as well as the geotechnical report did not include a conclusive statement that the site does not exhibit karts geology. Staff is concerned with the elevation of the ground water, which is within 13 feet of the bottom of the mine. Ms. Dinkins commented on the limited information provided in the concept plan. She reiterated that staff and P&Z Commission recommend denial. Mr. Minter advised that under the P&Z recommendation it shows denial, but the 3 findings listed are in the affirmative. Ms. Dinkins stated there was a scrivener's error in the original agenda document, which has been updated for the Board. In response to Commissioner Moore, Ms. Dinkins stated an unintended consequence of the Administrative Land Use Amendment was that the subject parcel was changed to Commerce District, which does not have a residential component; therefore, creating non­conformity with the Zoning and Land Use. She advised that in 1997 there was supposed to be a reclamation enacted, noting the zoning was determined by the Master Plan for Silver Springs Shores. Commissioner Moore questioned what staff would recommend for the area. Ms. Dinkins advised that staff recommended the applicant request a Land Use Amendment to Employment Center, which would allow both Industrial and Residential uses or to keep the Commerce District with straight M-1 (Light Industrial). Chairman Stone advised that someone did contact her regarding the karst area and prior Board action to close the County's Landfill and send material out of the County. The concern was raised about opening another landfill in the Primary Springs Protection Zone, as well as other abandoned sand mines in the area. Mr. Minter advised that before the Board today is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which is a legislative activity. Sometimes there are situations where there is a combined Comprehensive Plan Amendment and concurrent either rezoning or Special Use Permit. He stated a rezoning or Special Use Permit is a quasi-judicial activity; therefore, individuals should not approach the Board about these types of matters outside of the public hearing. Mr. Minter questioned if any other Board members were contacted regarding this application. Commissioner Moore advised that he heard similar statements as Chairman Stone from a constituent, but also heard there is an excessive amount of C&D currently available and that there is not a need for another facility. Commissioners Gold, Zalak and Bryant advised that they heard the same information. David Tillman, Tillman and Associates Engineering, SE 16th Avenue, presented a 5 page document containing pictures of the subject site; an 11 x17 inch chart showing the elevation comparisons; and an 11 x17 inch map of the subject site. He advised that a soles report was performed and there were not any karst features identified within the geotechnical report. Mr. Tillman advised that the proposed facility will be lined, which is not something that is done in the majority of C&D landfills in Marion County. The applicant intends to install a leachate collection system. He stated one of the complaints at the P&Z Commission meeting related to the entrance and the conflicts with trucks backing up on the streets adjacent to the school. The entrance on the site plan has been moved from Emerald Road to one of the unimproved right-of-ways (ROW) (Spruce Road). The applicant will have to improve the ROWand put the entrance on the back side of the facility, which will encourage all trucks to come from the other direction because it will make access to Highway 484 much closer and they will not pass the school.

Mr. Tillman addressed the buffers and improvements that will need to be completed. He commented on the minimal impact these types of facilities have on the surrounding area. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Tillman advised that the geotechnical report was provided to staff. Ms. Dinkins stated the report was not included in the agenda packet, but staff will email the report to the Board for review. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. Sam Levin, Mayo Avenue, Maitland, on behalf of PP Investments, commented on the karst features in the area and concern with water quality and odor. He stated bore holes are not enough to determine if there are sink holes, noting ground penetrating radar was not used in the geotechnical survey, but was recommended by staff. In response to Chairman Stone, Mr. Levin advised that he has been a consulting engineer for landfills for 44 years. Steve Rudnianyn, NE 3rd Street, advised that part of the agreement with the BCC back in 1997 was that the site would not be used as a C&D pit, but would be reclaimed. Jerry Lourenco, SE 58th Avenue, expressed support for the C&D Landfill. Chairman Stone advised that public comment is now closed. Mr. Tillman advised that the applicant is willing to add the requirement to perform ground penetrating radar to the Special Use Permit. He stated the leachate collection system is not fully designed for the facility, but it could be designed to avoid chips getting wet within the system. Using a liner leachate system will allow staff to collect the leachate and haul it to a site that is permitted for the disposal, which is a much better solution than allowed it to go straight in the aquifer. Mr. Tillman stated the wall board will be stored separately to keep it from getting wet. There are only 4 of these facilities in Marion County. He requested the Board consider the application and transmit it forward to DEP. In response to Chairman Stone, Mr. Tillman advised that there is specific criteria that will be put in place for DEP when they go through the permitting process, which the applicant will follow. He stated the applicant is looking to find someone with experience in this industry to manage the facility. Commissioner Zalak questioned if the applicant will sign an agreement to maintain the road and entrance, as well as connect to water and sewer. Mr. Tillman advised that the applicant will agree to maintenance of the road and entrance, as well as connect to the water and sewer if needed. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Tillman advised that there is a clay bottom, but it does not reach high permeability. The applicant could subsidize it with bentonite and mix, which could provide a higher permeability. General discussion ensued. Commissioner Zalak stated all the Board would be doing today is approving the transmittal to Tallahassee for feedback. Mr. Tillman concurred. General discussion resumed. Commissioner Moore questioned why the applicant is not considering residential for the site. Mr. Tillman advised that with the current Land Uses in place it makes more sense to move forward with Industrial. Commissioner Gold commented on the existing noise, smell and traffic in the area. In response to Chairman Stone, ACA Angel Roussel addressed current water quality issues surrounding Lockheed Martin. Chairman Stone questioned if there are any existing C&D Landfills with a liner in a Primary Springs Protection Zone. Ms. Dinkins stated not since the Primary Springs Protection Zone

was established, noting Southside Recycling Center has a clay liner, but not a HOPE liner that is being proposed with this project. She advised that Southside Recycling has a condition in their Special Use Permit that future cells will be lined, but there are not any in place at this time. Commissioner Zalak advised that there are not a lot of lined C&D Landfills in the State, noting the rule was not put into place until approximately 2015. He commented on the DEP approval process and the types of businesses already operating in the area. In response to Commissioner Gold, Commissioner Zalak advised that it takes approximately 1 year to go through the DEP process. A motion was made by Commissioner Gold, seconded by Commissioner Zalak, to approve transmittal of Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 19-L02 disagreeing with Growth Services staff and the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the land use change will not adversely affect the public interest, is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, is consistent with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS) and the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. In response to Chairman Stone, Mr. Tillman advised that the ground penetrating radar can be completed prior to the next hearing. Ms. Dinkins stated staff's major concern is there is a lot of uncertainty as to the types of materials, the type of operation, how it will be accessed and limited information on the leachate containment system, as well as there are very permeable soils within the site and it is located within a Primary Springs Protection Zone. In response to Chairman Stone, Ms. Dinkins gave a brief overview of how the County determines which areas are most vulnerable. She referred to maps on the overhead screens showing the sink hole activity in the area. General discussion ensued. Commissioner Zalak stated the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code (LDC) have not been updated since the regulation changed from the State level to go from unlined to lined in a landfill. He advised that there have been 5 sinkholes in the last 6 years at the County's landfill. The liner is still in tact and working. The only issue has been with the urban cell, which is unlined. Commissioner Bryant advised that the action being taken today is to transmit for agency comments. Ms. Dinkins concurred. In response to Commissioner Bryant, Ms. Dinkins advised that DEP is one of the reviewing agencies, as well as DEP's Land Use Planning Division, noting staff can request the Solid Waste Division review the documents. Chairman Bryant reiterated that all the Board is doing today is approving the application for transmittal for feedback, noting there will be a lot more discussion once the comments come back to the Board. Commissioner Bryant opined that until DEP makes comments and a full geotechnical study is complete the Board cannot make a decision on the project. In response to Commissioner Bryant, Environmental Services Director Jody Kirkman advised that C&D waste is handled by the private sector, the County takes in more solid waste. Commissioner Zalak stated private haulers take their C&D waste to the private sector due to lower costs. Mr. Kirkman advised that as of July 15, 2019 Solid Waste has begun advertising for people to take these types of waste to other locations. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).

Mr. Bouyounes advised that staff will have to make a special request for the Solid Waste Division of DEP to review the transmittal. He stated staff will consult directly with DEP's Solid Waste Division for recommendations. General discussion ensued. Chairman Stone clarified that the Board would like ground penetrating radar and a Jipson remedy package added to the conditions when the applicant brings back their proposal. Commissioner Zalak requested the applicant work with staff to accommodate requests by the Board and DEP. Commissioner Bryant advised that it would be prudent for the applicant to demonstrate a need for the facility moving forward.

(Ed. Note: P&Z Commission recommendation from May 29, 2019 meeting, which was placed on the June 16,2019 Agenda) Senior Planner Dinkins, Growth Services, commented on the Special Use Permit request. The applicant requested 2 Recreational Vehicles (RV) on the site, which was brought before the Board in 2012 and approved for RV. The second RV was never removed and it was sold to the applicant with 2 RVs on the site. Staff sent a letter requesting the Special Use Permit be renewed, at that time staff became aware that the 2 RVs were still present on the property. She advised that the applicant did remove 1 RV off the property. Commissioners Moore and Zalak returned at 3:50 p.m. Ms. Dinkins stated the Special Use Permit approved in 2012 expired in 2015. Ms. Dinkins advised that the Growth Services Department is recommending approval upon observance of the following Conditions:

1. One FEMA trailer for security purposes is allowed. The FEMA trailer currently located on the north side of fhe multi-unit commercial building is authorized. The trailer located in front of the laundromat and west of the standalone t­shirt shop must be removed within 30 days of BCC approval of this Special Use Permit.

2. The applicant must demonstrate that the security residence does not violate state regulations related to sanitary water and wastewater or cause the existing commercial development to violate such standards. If the applicant is unable to meet this condition, the residence must be removed immediately, pending resolution of water and wastewater violation.

3. All buildings on the site must comply with LDC regulations and Florida Building Code requirements in effect at the time of construction.

4. This permit runs with Yogibapa Investments, LLC and shall terminate if there is a sale or subdivision of the property.

5. The Special Use Permit shall expire on June 18, 2024. The applicant may submit a new Special Use Permit Application for consideration to renew and extend this permit in the future.

In response to Chairman Stone, Ms. Dinkins advised that someone is living in the RVand the second RV has been removed from the property. She stated staff is concerned with the condition of the RV, noting a mobile home may be a better option if it is going to be a more permanent structure. Rahulkumar Patel, SE 45th Court, advised that when the property was purchased he was unaware of the Special Use Permit, noting the property was purchased "as-is". He stated the reason for the RV is security, which is the main concern due to the area. Commissioner Bryant stated originally the trailer was supposed to be Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) trailer. Ms. Dinkins advised that when it previously came before the Board it was presented as a FEMA trailer, which may have only meant that it was provided as temporary residence during a natural disaster. Commissioner Bryant stated the original request was to have the trailer on the property for security, but could she could not remember if the applicant specified that it would be a FEMA trailer. Ms. Dinkins advised that the previous applicant did specify that it was a FEMA trailer, noting the trailer on site today is the same one that was there during the original application. In response to Commissioner Zalak. Ms. Dinkins stated the second trailer was present when the first application came before the Board in 2012 and was never removed. There

was nothing that compelled the owner to remove the trailer. They were required to disconnect it from any sort of electrical source or sewage treatment facility. The trailer remained on the property under the pretense it was being stored and not lived in, which was not the case. Growth Services Director Martsolf advised that the trailer is allowed to be stored on B-5 zoned property. Commissioner Zalak questioned why the applicant is using a 55 gallon drum for waste disposal. Mr. Patel advised that he was unaware and only purchased the property in 2016. A letter was received in 2019 and the trailer was removed. He stated the existing trailer is connected to a septic tank and Sunshine Utilities for water. In response to Chairman Stone, Mr. Patel stated the septic tank the trailer is connected to is for the entire property. Commissioner Zalak questioned if the applicant reviewed the LDC or Special Use Permit for the property when purchasing the business. Mr. Patel advised that he was unaware of the Special Use Permit, but did know the property was zoned M-1. Commissioner Bryant stated when a title company does a title search a Special Use Permit does not show. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. There being none, Chairman Stone closed public comment. Commissioner Bryant stated unfortunately it was not disclosed to the current owner that the RV was under a Special Use Permit and it was not disclosed that the RV was originally brought to the Board as a FEMA trailer. Mr. Patel advised that the previous owner told him that the RV was purchased from a FEMA auction, but he does not have any paperwork. In response to Commissioner Bryant, Commissioner Zalak advised that FEMA trailers are handled differently than regular RV sales. He stated this could possibly be a FEMA trailer. Mr. Patel advised that there is a person living in the RV who takes care of the property. General discussion ensued. Commissioner Bryant stated the tarp carport will have to be removed. Mr. Patel advised that his Air Conditioning (AC) repairman is out of town, once he returns the AC will be fixed and the carport will be removed. General discussion resumed. A motion was made by Commissioner Gold, seconded by Commissioner Bryant, to adopt Resolution 19-R-240 granting Special Use Permit with Conditions 1 through 7, as amended below, disagreeing with Growth Services staff and agreeing with the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect the public interest. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).

1. One RV for security purposes is allowed, as shown in the revised site plan. The RV must remain to the side or rear of the commercial area, consistent with the LDC.

2. The applicant must demonstrate that the security residence does not violate state regulations related to sanitary water and wastewater or cause the existing commercial development to violate such standards. If the applicant is unable to meet this condition, the residence must be removed immediately, pending resolution of water and wastewater violation.

3. All buildings and activities on the site must comply with LDC regulations and Florida Building Code requirements in effect at the time of construction.

US Highway 41, Dunnellon, FL, for a Special Use Permit, Articles 2 and 4, of the Marion County Land Development Code, to allow the sale of hay and horse feed, in an A-1 (General Agriculture) zone, on approximately 11.46 Acres, on Parcel Account No. 17355-010-00.

WRITTEN OPPOSITION WITHIN 300 FEET 0 of 13= 0% PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Motion was made by Mr. Kroitor seconded by Mr. Lourenco to disagree with staffs findings and recommendation, and recommend approval of the requested Special Use Permit with the alternative approval conditions based on the following findings of fact:

1. Will not adversely affect the public interest 2. Is consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan 3. Is compatible with the surrounding land uses

Vote was 5 to 0 Commissioner Bryant out at 4:11 p.m. Senior Planner Rison, Growth Services, commented on the Special Use Permit request for horse feed and hay sales on a nonagricultural production property. Mr. Rison advised that the Growth Services Department is recommending denial, P&Z Commission is recommending approval upon observance of the following Conditions:

1. The site shall be developed and operated consistent with the submitted conceptual plan and the conditions as provided with this approval.

2. The Special Use Permit shall run with the Owner, Lilly Martin, but may be transferred one time to Dunnellon Farm and Feed Supplies, LLC, a registered corporation in the State of Florida, on that corporation's acquisition of full fee­simple ownership of the site, with no further transfers of the Special Use Permit; this Special Use Permit shall not run with the property.

3. The retail sales are limited to hay and animal feed onsite; all other fertilizer, fencing, or farm supply sales are prohibited.

Health, Florida Department of Transportation) through the development review and building permit process as a commercial operation.

5. Ingress/egress shall be via US Hwy 41, using a suitably designed, constructed, and permitted driveway consist with Florida Department of Transportation and/or Marion County requirements. The owner/applicant shall be responsible for providing the County evidence that the driveway entrance and apron have been designed and constructed in accordance with FDOT standards for the use of tractor trailer trucks, and a permit has been received from FDOT.

6. The applicant shall have the approval of FDOT's review the circulation plan and drainage of the subject property before the selling anything other than hay.

7. Buffers of the site shall meet the Marion County Land Development Code for a commercial use on this site, including compliance with a C-Type Buffer along the US Hwy 41 right-of-way.

8. The hay/feed sales operation of the site shall conform to Section 4.3.21.A(2)(b) of the Marion County Land Development Code concerning parking of commercial vehicles and trailers.

9. The property must be maintained as a working farm with the hay production. 10. Any division of the property shall terminate the Special Use Permit. 11. No lighting on, or of the subject property shall cast direct light off-site, and no­

site lighting shall be higher than 10', when measured from the general ground surface

12. The Special Use Permit shall expire on July 18, 2023. Commissioner Bryant returned at 4:13 p.m. Commissioner Zalak advised that the accessory sale is what makes it not compatible with the LDC. Mr. Rison concurred. Lillian B. Martin, South Highway 41, Dunnellon, advised that her and her husband purchased the property in 1999 and began living on it in 2000. They have been in the agricultural business their entire lives. The building on the property was designed for hay and feed sales. She stated her husband passed away in 2013, Ms. Martin stated the only other feed store in the area is approximately 2 miles down the road and are running out of room with no room tor grow. She advised that the owners of the other feed store would like to eventually purchase the farm, but would like to start using the facilities now. Ms. Martin advised that she is in agreeance with all the conditions set forth by staff. Commissioner Zalak questioned why the applicant did not go through the commercial site plan process. Mr. Rison advised that the site requires a Future Land Use Designation Amendment to request Commercial and then an appropriate zoning classification for the property. The existing structure was built as an agricultural exempt structure, so it does not have any permitting as a commercial structure for commercial activity. Ms. Martin advised that she was under the impression a permit was not required. Commissioner Zalak concurred, but that is only if they are producing the product on the property. Ms. Martin stated hay can be grown and harvested on the property. Commissioner Zalak advised that the applicant can sell hay grown on the property, but as soon as other products are brought in it becomes a commercial business and is no longer covered under the agricultural exemption.

Mr. Rison stated he spoke with the other feed store owners to address the issues and made them aware if they are still interested in pursuing they could set this site as a satellite location, which will give them the opportunity to determine if the site will work going forward. Commissioner Zalak recommended approving the Special Use Permit for 2 years so the applicant can test to see it is a marketable plan. If it is they can come back to the Board for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. Kent Long, SE US Highway 41, Dunnellon Feed, advised that he was unaware the location was not zoned Commercial, noting the number of surrounding Commercial properties. He addressed the financial investment required to move forward with the project and the products that would be sold on the property. Commissioner Zalak recommended Mr. Long sit down with staff to determine the correct steps to move forward. General discussion ensued. Mr. Bouyounes advised that DRC staff meet every Thursday morning to review the processes with applicants. In response to Commissioner Bryant, Mr. Long stated the building on the site is a steal building that is up to Code. Chairman Stone questioned if staff had been to the property and spoke with the applicant to determine the ultimate goal for the property. Mr. Rison advised that conversations have taken place, noting the difficulty is once they start getting into the sales of other materials it triggers the need for Commercial Land Use Designation/Zoning classifications. Chairman Stone stated that the process is not taking place today and recommended Mr. Long meet with DRC to begin that process. Commissioner Bryant opined that there was a communication gap somewhere along the line and suggested the funds spent on applying for the Special Use Permit be applied to the zoning change process. It was the general consensus of the Board to agree. Mr. Bouyounes advised that no action is needed as the item is withdrawn. Commissioner Gold out at 4:30 p.m.

14C6. 190703Z - Kevin P. Roberson, R-1 to R-4, .20 Acres The Board considered a petition by Kevin P. Roberson, (owner/applicant) 881 NE 120th

Place, Ocala, FL, for a Zoning Change, Articles 2 and 4, of the Marion County Land Development Code, from R-1, (Single Family Dwelling) to R-4 (Mixed Use Residential), for all permitted uses, on approximately .20 Acres, on Parcel Account No. 16159-178-00.

WRITTEN OPPOSITION WITHIN 300 FEET 0 of 40= 0% PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Motion was made by Mr. Gaekwad seconded by Mr. Lourenco to agree with staffs findings and recommendation, and recommend approval of the PUD zoning based on the following findings of fact: 1. Will not adversely affect the public interest 2. Is consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan 3. Is compatible with the surrounding land uses Vote was 5 to 0 of a zoning change to a PUD, allowing a HUD Standard manufactured home with the only conditions being it must be a minimum of 960 sq. ft. (double-wide) and that a carport or garage would not be required.

Senior Planner Chris Rison provided a brief overview of the zoning change request. The request is for a rezoning from R-1 to R-4. The property is located within the Silver Springs

Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), north of State Road 40. The neighborhood is largely developed with manufactured homes, including the portions that are zoned R-1, because they were installed at a time when manufacture homes were permitted within that area. This is an isolated lot within the R-1 area; therefore, staff recommended denial of the request, but alternatively noted that PUD might be acceptable. He advised that the P&Z Commission did agree with staff that a PUD would be appropriate, but did recommend modification on the conditions that it be required to have at least a double wide manufacture home equivalent on the property and a carport or garage will not be required. Staff is not recommending approval of straight R-4, but instead a PUD with conditions. Kevin Roberson, NE 120th Place, advised that the property was purchased for his mother who is on a fixed income. When considering properties they looked for something with a well and septic tank that could have a mobile home. He stated he was unaware of the different zonings, but figured due to the area being primarily mobile homes that a mobile home could be put on the property. The septic system has been certified and is in good condition. Commissioner Bryant questioned if a mobile home has been selected for the site. Mr. Roberson advised that he is waiting on the outcome of the meeting today. He stated the original plan was to purchase an inexpensive mobile home for the property and repair it, but realized it would not meet the County standards so a newer 2 bedroom 2 bath double wide manufacture home is being considered. Chairman Stone opened the floor to public comment. There being none, Chairman Stone advised that public comment is now closed. Mr. Rison commented on the different types of homes within the surrounding area as shown on the overhead screens. Chairman Stone questioned why a mobile home is not compatible with the area. Mr. Rison advised that there is concern with mixing R-1 and R-4 zoning. The existing mobile homes in the R-1 area are historic and have been there since the 1980's. When those homes are removed the property owners will be required to conform to current requirements. Commissioner Zalak questioned if over time the area will transition to site-built homes. Mr. Rison stated this is an area where the County could look to increase densities to promote revitalization and redevelopment. These properties could end up being developed more intensely. He advised that there was a single wide mobile home on the subject parcel in the past. In response to Chairman Stone, Mr. Rison advised that the property is 0.2 acres. Commissioner Bryant stated if a new double wide mobile home is placed on the property it will be approximately 25 years before it is removed. She advised that the County would not be consistent if 1 lot is PUD surrounded by R-1. Chairman Stone commented on the possibility of the County purchasing property in the area with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Mr. Rison advised that this neighborhood is one of the areas considered for CDBG program, as this area does not have water or sewer systems. A motion was made by Commissioner Bryant, seconded by Commissioner Moore, to approve the Zoning Change from R-1 (Single Family Dwelling) to R-4 (Mixed Use Residential), disagreeing with Growth Services staff and the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect the public interest.

July 16, 2019

In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Rison advised that R-3 (Multiple Family Dwelling) does allow for manufactured homes, noting due to the size of the lot the applicant would have to assemble more lots to be able to be R-3, as well as change the land use designation. Commissioner Zalak commented on the possibility of changing the zoning designation on the entire subdivision. Commissioner Bryant stated if a mobile home is removed from a property the owner has 12 months to install a new one in R-1 zoning. Mr. Rison concurred. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Rison advised that a waiver provision is not in the LDC because it is a platted R-1 zoned subdivision. Commissioner Bryant questioned if the Board changed the zoning to R-4 and required a double wide manufacture home would that be considered Conditional Zoning. Mr. Rison advised that it would be considered Conditional Zoning and is the reason staff recommended a PUD. Commissioner Bryant withdrew her motion and Commissioner Moore withdrew his second. A motion was made by Commissioner Bryant, seconded by Commissioner Moore, to deny the Zoning Change from R-1 to R-4 and approve the Zoning Change from R-1 to PUD with a double wide Manufacture home, without a car port, disagreeing with Growth Services staff and agreeing with P&Z Commission recommendation, based on findings that the proposed use was compatible with the surrounding land uses, was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and would not adversely affect the public interest. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).

Senior Planner Ken Weyrauch, Growth Services, commented on the Special Use Permit request for hay operations on R-1 zoned property, noting the original request was hay and cattle operations. It was noted that the Growth Services Department staff and the P&Z Commission recommended denial of the Special Use Permit if the Board chooses to approve the application, with the following Conditions are staff's recommendation:

Mr. RlJdnianyn advised that fencing will not be installed. He stated the biggest issue on the property was once it was cleared people were going on the property and searching for artifacts, which is a liability if someone should get hurt. A motion was made by Commissioner Moore, seconded by Commissioner Gold, to adopt Resolution 19-R-241 granting the Special Use Permit for a hay operation without conditions, disagreeing with Growth Services staff and agree with the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect the public interest.

The applicant had a Special Use Permit, which expired in 2015. The owner/operator has been parking on the site for a minimum of 9 years and there have been no complaints or opposition.

In response to Chairman Stone, Mr. Weyrauch advised that applicant is requesting 1 tractor, 2 trailers and 1 additional trailer that will be on the property from time to time. Sonia Blunt, West Highway 329, Reddick, advised that Alphonso Blunt conducts a transport service and they are requesting the Board consider allowing the refrigerated trailer to be parked on the property. The unit will not be running, just parked. She stated there are no immediate neighbors to the property and it is buffered by a tree line, noting there is already a lot of commercial traffic on the road. In response to Chairman Stone, Ms. Blunt advised that staff did review the proposed Conditions with her.
