Approval of Bluford Avenue Drainage Project Purchase Agreement — Kalsi Property. (Public Works Director Krug) The City Commission approved the acquisition of right of way required for the Bluford Avenue Stormwater Project at the November 19, 2013, meeting, authorizing the Attorney to make the statutorily required pre - condemnation offer letters at the appraised values and then proceed to eminent domain. Mr. Jasbir Kalsi, Parcels 102 & 702, has agreed to accept the appraised values for both Parcels totaling $17,160.00. Public Works recommends the Commission approve the Purchase Agreement in order to begin the property acquisition phase of the project. This is the first of five acquisitions required for the project. The property acquisition is adequately funded in the project budget. 5. Approval of Wendy's at Ocoee Plat. (City Engineer Wheeler) The Wendy's at Ocoee single lot project is located on the south side of West Colonial Drive (SR 50) and between the Wal -Mart commercial complex and the Ocoee Commerce Center. The project is approximately 1.0762 acres in size. Wendy's of N.E. Florida, Inc. purchased both parcels from Bank Atlantic, who had planned to build a bank on the property prior to the economic recession. Both parcels were approximately one -half acre in size and undersized to develop according to the Land Development Code. Although one -half of the property was originally included in the Wal -Mart at Ocoee commercial complex and the stormwater runoff will drain into the Ocoee Commercial Center stormwater pond, Wendy's at Ocoee will not be a partner in either Property Owner's Association. The project includes approximately 0.08 acres of wetlands, flood plain, and buffers. G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES - PUBLIC HEARINGS 6. Land Development Code Amendment - Amendment to Include Bars and Cocktail Lounges as a Permitted Use. (Advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, January 9, 2014. Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for February 4, 2014, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (City Planner Rumer) Bars and cocktail lounges are prohibited within the City of Ocoee unless it is associated with a restaurant seating a minimum of 45 people. With the establishment of the CRA Target Areas which are intended to provide an urban development pattern to include mixed uses and multiple use buildings, staff recognized the need to permit bars and cocktail lounges as permitted uses in certain zoning districts. Before moving forward with introducing bars and cocktail Lounges in the City, the City Planner met with the Mayor and Commission individually to gage interest and seek comments on an ordinance establishing bars and cocktail lounges. Based on those meetings, staff has proposed three options for consideration to permit bars and cocktail lounges with one option from the Planning & Zoning Board: Option #1: Bars and Cocktail Lounge - permitted in C -3 and TA (CRA Target Areas) Toning districts Option 92: Bars and Cocktail Lounge — permitted by Special Exception in C -2, permitted in C -3, I -1, and TA (CRA Target Areas) Option #3: Bars and Cocktail Lounge — permitted in C -2, C-3, and 1 -1 _oning districts Option #4 (P &Z Recommendation) Special Exception in G2, C-3, 1 -1, and TA (CRA Target Areas) Besides adding the uses to the zoning table, Section 5 -8 will have to be amended to remove bars and cocktail lounges from the list of prohibited uses within the City. ZL Regular City Commission January 21, 2014 7. Land Development Code Amendment — Application Submission Criteria for Denied Projects for Rezoning /Special Exceptions. (Advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, January 9, 2014. Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for February 4, 2014, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (City Planner Rumer) Article 1V and Article V of the City of Ocoee Land Development Code (LDC) regulates application submittal requirements for Special Exceptions and Rezoning. Currently, there are no provisions limiting the time for resubmitting an application that has been denied by the City Commission. Due to a rezoning case where an application for rezoning was denied by the City Commission, and a subsequent re- application was submitted four months after the denial hearing date, staff was directed by the City Commission to look into provided a waiting period. Upon review of the information gathered, staff has proposed three options: Option #1: If the city commission denies an ordinance to rezone a properly including to PUD or denies a special exception for a use on a property, the city commission shall take no ,further action on another application of the same proposal or zoning district for a period of six (6) months fr�oln the date of denial. Option 42: If the city commission denies an ordinance to rezone a property including to PUD or denies a special exception for a use on a property, the city commission shall take no further action on another application of the same proposal or zoning district for a period of nine (9) months from the date of denial. Option 93: if the city commission denies an ordinance to rezone a property to PUD or denies a special exception for a use on a property, the city commission shall take no fua•Iher action on another application of the same proposal or zoning district for a period of one (1) year from the date of denial. H. REGULAR AGENDA 8. City of Ocoee Signs. (CRA Administrator Wagner) a) CRA Street Signs Design An allocation of $20,000 was made in the 2013 -2014 CRA Budget to replace existing street signs within the Community Redevelopment Area to improve the appearance of the corridor and feature the new City Logo. The Public Works Department has had mock -up signs produced to show two different colors for the backgrounds, green and blue. Staff seeks input from the Mayor and City Commissioners in order to select the appropriate sign color, either for the CRA only, or for use City -wide. b) Use Agreement Between City of Ocoee and Orange County One of the 10' Ocoee Welcome signs is proposed to be placed at the Eastern City Limits on the north side of Clarcona -Ocoee Road. Orange County has stipulated that a Use Agreement needs to be signed by the City and County to ensure that the sign is properly installed, maintained and covered for liability purposes. The County furnished a standardized agreement which they have previously utilized for similar cases. Our City Attorney has reviewed this document and has recommended some possible minor modifications as indicated on the draft of the agreement. Since staff has not discussed those revisions with the County Attorney, the City Commission may considered approving the Orange County Agreement and further authorize staff to negotiate any changes that are mutually agreeable, and further, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the revised agreement when finalized. 9.
