NEW BUSINESS FULLERS CROSS COMMERCIAL PUD 1. Joint Planning Area Amendment 2. Annexation & Initial Zoning 3. Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment 4. Development Agreement Community Development Director Wagner presented the staff report for Fullers Cross Commercial PUD. The property is vacant and consists of ::I::5.08-acres located at 2280 Fullers Cross Road unincorporated Orange County on the southwest comer of the intersection of Fullers Cross and Ocoee-Apopka Roads. The property is currently located in unincorporated Orange County, and the Ocoee-Orange County JP A Land Use designation is currently "Low Density Residential" and "Conservation/Floodplains", the approval of an amendment to the JP A Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting May 11, 2004 Agreement is required before the annexation can be effective. The amendment to the Orange County-Ocoee JP A Agreement would establish a JP A land use designation for the property as "Commercial" and "Conservation/Floodplains". The applicant has requested an initial zoning classification of "Commercial PUD". Since a Commercial PUD classification has been requested, a development agreement will also be required. There are natural drainage ditches at the west end of the property and at the southeast comer of the property. Soils indicate that wetlands may exist at the southeast comer of the property. A wetlands survey will be conducted with the Preliminary Subdivision Plan to define any wetlands. According to the Flood Maps, the property is not located within the 100-year floodplain. Potable water from the City of Ocoee is available for this site; sanitary sewer is not. On-site septic tanks will be utilized until sanitary sewer becomes available. ANNEXATION & THE JOINT PLANNING AGREEMENT This annexation will require a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment since the proposed future land use classification is not consistent with the JP A Land Use Map. Orange County has been notified of this petition and no comments have been received as of April 27, 2004. The subject property is a voluntary annexation, and will be a logical extension of the existing City limits. The City can provide adequate urban services as evidences by the Annexation Feasibility & Public Facilities Analysis Report. SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT & INITIAL ZONING The proposed "Commercial" and "Conservation/Floodplains" future land use classification for this property is not consistent with the City of Ocoee Future Land Use Map and the JP A Land Use Map; therefore, the applicant is required to submit a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment in order to change the Future Land Use/JP A Land Use Map classification from "Low Density Residential" and "Conservation/Floodplains to "Commercial" and "Conservation/Floodplains". This proposed future land use classification is compatible with other "Commercial" properties located on the northwest and northeast comers of the Fullers Cross/Ocoee-Apopka Road intersection. The applicant has also requested an initial zoning classification of "Commercial Planned Unit Development" (PUD). "Commercial PUD" zoning for this PUD will allow the same uses as permitted in a C-2 zoning district, except the following uses will not be permitted: Automobile parking lot, automobile repair, automobile sales (new & used), automobile auction, automobile wreckage/salvage yard, boat sales & service, borrow pit, pan shop, bus terminal, equipment sales, golf course/country club, mobile home & travel trailer sales, motor vehicle wholesale, 2 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting May 11, 2004 recreational facility (neighborhood & commercial), recreational vehicle parks, truck stop, and check cashing services. The Fullers Cross Commercial PUD will be required to follow the Crown Point Development Standards that include architectural and site design standards since the property is adjacent to the Ocoee Crown Point PUD. TRANSPORTATION The Ocoee Crown Point PUD is required to mitigate the impacts of the development by providing extensive intersection roadway improvements to mitigate the impacts of traffic as the project develops. Additionally, Ocoee-Apopka Road will be widened to four lanes before 2020. Fuller Cross Commercial PUD is located near two interchanges on the Western Expressway/SR429. These Expressway interchanges will provide alternatives to the use oflocal roadways. The Fullers Cross Commercial PUD will also be required to mitigate transportation impacts at the intersection of Fullers Cross and Ocoee-Apopka Road as a component of the "Conditions of Approval" for this project. The developer will also dedicate 20' ROW along Fullers Cross Road for future widening of that road. STORMW ATER DRAINAGE, WETLANDS & FLOODPLAINS The natural drainage ditches on the west and southeast boundary will be dedicated through access easement to the City for maintenance. Drainage of the development will be piped to a retention pond on-site. All stormwater drainage will meet the requirements of Chapter 25-17, Florida Administrative Code. The water quality will also meet the Lake Apopka Rule.

Based on the above analysis and subsequent discussions, the DRC recommended the annexation of the Basking Ridge Court.

INGRAM-HEIDRICH REZONING Principal Planner James presented the staff report for the Ingram-Heidrich Rezoning. The ::I::20.482-acre property is located at 5824 Ingram Road and is bordered on the west by the Forest Lake Golf Course. This property is also west and northwest of the intersection of Ingram Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. ACTUAL LAND USE, PROPOSED LAND USE, AND PLAN CONSISTENCY The property has been used as a horse training area with a barn; there are no other unique features on the property. The property is designated as Low Density Residential on the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Map and the Joint Planning Area Land Use Map. The applicant's proposed use is for a single-family residential subdivision. The requested rezoning to R-1-AA: Single Family Dwelling is consistent with the FLUM and the JP A Land Use Map designations. When the subject property was zoned, R-1-AAA, the Mayor and City Commissioners intent was to bring larger and more expensive homes to increase the tax base for the City. However, since this initial zoning, land values have increased dramatically and, as a result, these larger and homes that are more expensive are now being built on small size lots. With the smaller lot size, more homes can be built in a smaller area increasing tax base over the previous larger lot zoning. It will also permit the City to negotiate with the developer to ensure the paving of Ingram Road along with the front of the property to Clarcona-Ocoee Road. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the rezoning of the subject parcel located at 5824 Ingram Road from R-1-AAA: Single Family Dwelling to R- 1-AA: Single Family Dwelling. 6 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting May 11, 2004 The public hearing was opened. Charlie Madden, representing Centex Homes, stated he is anticipating building around 55 homes on the property and the increase in the number of homes due to the rezoning would be 7 or 8. Community Development Director Wagner stated the developer would probably build a shelter or a gazebo but it is undecided at this time. Vice-Chairman McKey inquired as to what the square footage of homes would be. Mr. Madden said the home would be a minimum of 1,900 sq. ft. with an approximate price range of $250,000. Mary Greer, 5811 Ingram Road, Apopka, stated she has traffic concerns and would like to know what will be done to resolve the traffic issues. Community Development Director Wagner stated that Orange County has plans to four-lane Clarcona-Ocoee Road and those plans show an upgraded intersection with turn-lanes. Mr. Wagner further stated that the developers long Ingram Road are required to improve Ingram Road along the lengths of their subdivisions. Discussion ensued regarding traffic. The public hearing was closed. Member West, seconded by Vice-Chairman McKey, moved to recommend approval of the Ingram-Heidrich Rezoning from R-1-AAA: Single Family Dwelling to R-I-AA: Single Family Dwelling. Motion carried 7-0.
