He noted the request by a resident to allow additional uses in the General Industrial land use district. Staff was directed to review the use table and bring back an amendment. He reviewed the draft table and the changes made to the table. He indicated that all conditional uses would come back to the Commission for approval. He noted the suggestion that the blank cells no longer be "not permitted" but instead be at the discretion of the Development Services Director. Ms. Cobb commented on the possibility of updating the Code and Regulations and paying to have a professional company do a comprehensive review to update the codes. She noted some sections date back to the 1950's. Tom Carrino, City Manager, responded that the Commission previously asked staff to look at densities, lot widths and residential design guidelines. He commented that staff did not want to go through the RFQ process which could take a while. He stated staff is comfortable with utilizing the continuing services contracts and indicated that they have scheduled a meeting for the next week to look at the density reduction , lot widths and variations and design guidelines. He indicated they could add to the scope a review of the use table. He stated that based on previous Commission direction staff is gearing up a firm to begin reviewing the code to make some changes the Commission wanted . Eustis Local Planning Agency Page 1 of 4 January 18, 2024  Mr. Ashcraft asked what Ms. Pelfry was looking for with Mr. Carrino reporting that he and Mr. Lane met with Ms. Pelfry and her sister who is a planning professional. He indicated they have looked at the draft use table and they were in agreement with that. He added that she did not provide specific information regarding what she wanted . Vice Chair Lee stated that the changes seem to be only based on Ms. Pelfrey's need but Ms. Cobb is stating we need to look at the City's overall need . She asked what Mr. Lane was trying to accomplish. Mr. Lane responded that he was trying to address the blank cells which currently are not permitted. He added he was trying to have some things addressed by the department rather than taking everything to the Commission. Mr. Carrino stated that Ms. Pelfry's initial application was to go from General Industrial to General Commercial and the Commission wasn't comfortable with that. Staff felt that the direction from the Commission was to work with Ms. Pelfry and bring back something that would help her stay within General Industrial. Mr. Hawkins expressed agreement with having a consultant review the City's Code of Ordinances and Land Development Regulations. He stated he was not comfortable with the proposed changes. Vice Chair Lane asked what Ms. Pelfry wants that would be addressed by the proposed changes. Mr. Lane responded that she was prepared to come back for a conditional use permit. He indicated she probably is looking at a few options and tenants for the site. Further discussion was held regarding the proposed changes being based on one person's needs that may not be good for the City overall. Chairman Holland asked if the Commission is comfortable with adding review of the use table to what staff is looking at bringing in a company to review. Mr. Carrino responded that the company they are working with is Kimberly Horn. He stated they have experts in many fields including planning, architecture and land use. Discussion was held regarding whether to postpone the proposed ordinance or deny due to the complexity of whatever will be presented later. The ordinance died due to lack of a motion . 2.2 Ordinance Number 24-03: 2023-CPLUS-09 - Future Land Use Map Amendment for Recently Annexed Parcel Alternate Key Number 1123461 - Request for Postponement Attorney Garcia announced that there are two ordinances that the applicants have requested postponement. She said if the LPA agrees to postpone then anyone present can be allowed to speak on those ordinances. Jeff Richardson, Deputy Director of Development Services, explained the applicants have sent emails asking for postponement. He stated the applicants asked to postpone due to their desire to change the requested land use to a designation more consistent with the surrounding properties. He indicated staff would have to notify the County and re-advertise. He added they would have to go to, most likely, the second meeting in February.
