III. OLD BUSINESS - None 11Page Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting September 13, 2016 7:04 pm Member Keethler presented a PowerPoint presentation regarding small lot sizes in single- family residential developments within the city. He indicated most of the new smaller-lot developments are located north of Fullers Cross Road. He mentioned after 2013, with the exception of Ocoee Pines, single-family developments have average lot widths of 55' (feet). In 2014, 56 percent of the single-family homes had lot widths at 55' (feet). Today it has risen to 83 percent. In summary, this year to date, 100 percent of the approved single- family development lot widths have been at 50' (feet) or less, which is 26 percent narrower than previous years. Member Dillard inquired if this has any correlation with the size of the homes; in other words, have the square feet increased inside the homes. City Planner Rumer indicated that the overall size of the homes have not scaled down. Chairman McKey asked if Orange County has had the same trend this year. Member Keethler indicated that City Planner Rumer is in communications with Commissioner Grogan to research the surrounding cities to find out if they are having the same type of trend or if the developers are targeting the City of Ocoee with smaller lot sizes, which he indicates is reason for concern along with why the north side of Ocoee is being concentrated with smaller lot size developments. Chairman McKey stated he believes this trend is a correlation of the economy and the price of the homes. Further, he asked the board members with experience in real estate to speak to this issue. Member West indicated he appreciates Member Keethler's presentation, but his belief is the builders build what the public is searching for. He further indicated that this current trend comes from people that do not want a big yard to take care of. Member Marcotte indicated research has shown that the current generation is not having as many children, 1.2 per household, which he suggests that maybe they do not need or wish for a big yard. IV. NEW BUSINESS 7:12 PM A. CubeSmart II —West 50 Commercial Preliminary/Final Site Plan Project No: LS-2016-005 City Planner Rumer City Planner Rumer presented a summary of the subject property, which is proposed on Lot 4 of West 50 Commercial Subdivision and is approximately 2.56 acres in size and is located on the south side of SR 50/Colonial Drive, north of the Florida Turnpike, east of SR 429. The project is an expansion of the CubeSmart located on Lot 1. Lot 2 has been approved for a small-scale site plan for an indoor shooting range for the Orlando Gun Club, but a building plan has not come forward as of yet. Lot 3 is the Paws-N-Play doggie daycare. Lot 4 was previously approved for a Hampton Inn, but the property was sold to CubeSmart. The Applicant has proposed to construct a 49,050 square foot climate- controlled storage and indoor RV and boat storage. The storage facility will consist of a total of two (2) buildings with the main building noted as being indoor climate-controlled 2IPage Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting September 13, 2016 storage with 32,550 square feet of available space. Exterior loaded enclosed RV and boat storage is also provided. The second building provides 14,250 square feet of enclosed RV and boat storage. Both buildings will be architecturally cohesive with the CubeSmart on Lot 1, which is adjacent on the west side. The location is within the City's CRA district. A public lift station was constructed under the West 50 Commercial Subdivision and will be utilized by this project. The zoning designation is C-3 (General Commercial). The project will utilize a master stormwater system located on a stormwater tract for the West 50 Commercial Subdivision. There are no waiver requests with this subdivision plan. City Planner Rumer explained to the Board that the City is looking into implementing a temporary moratorium on development in the special overlay areas, but he mentioned he will discuss that further later in the meeting. Discussion: Tom Skelton, Applicant, American Civil Engineering Company, was present and explained the elevation, which he believes is 24' (feet) maximum with an average of 16' (feet). He indicated it is a lower elevation than the adjacent building. Member Marcotte inquired where the drainage system is located. City Planner Rumer pointed out it is going to the master stormwater tract. He further explained if there is a master stormwater system, the maximum impervious can be increased which is typically done with commercial subdivisions. Development Review Committee (DRC) Recommendation: On September 7, 2016, the DRC met to determine if the proposed Preliminary/Final Site Plan was consistent with the City's regulations and policies. When the discussion was finished, the DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan for the CubeSmart II, subject to resolution of outstanding staff comments before the City Commission meeting. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan for the CubeSmart II subject to the resolution of outstanding staff comments before the City Commission meeting. 7:23 PM The public hearing was opened. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. 3IPage Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting September 13, 2016 7:24 PM Motion: Move that the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, recommend to the Ocoee City Commission Approval of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan for the CubeSmart II, Project No: LS-2016-005, subject to resolution of the remaining staff comments before the City Commission meeting; Moved by Member Keethler, Seconded by Member Sills; Motion passed(8-0).

He indicated the City Commission has directed staff to create a moratorium on the City's overlay areas and activity centers specifically pharmaceutical dispensaries, fast food and other drive-thru restaurant establishments, check-cashing stores, self- storage facilities, vehicle and tire service/sales and repair facilities and discount retail stores. This moratorium will come to fruition in approximately two agendas. City Planner Rumer further updated the Board on the Colony Plaza, which is no longer under contract.
