shared that he was touched by the 9/11 Remembrance Proclamation that was read tonight. He
explained the charity organization created by local (active/retired) law enforcement officers is for
officers wounded during duty and forced into retirement. Their organization is run by unpaid
volunteers who established five goals (C.A.R.E. — Counseling, Advocacy, Recognition, and
Education) to help with their endeavor. Further explanation was given on their role in helping to
reintegrate the officers into productive society members. Mr. Brown announced their 3rd
Annual Dinner Gala will be held at the Ocoee Lakeshore Center on April 1, 2017, and he is
respectfully requesting the Commission to consider waiving the rental fees for use of the facility.
Commissioner Grogan announced that he will be abstaining due to a conflict; he is a trustee of
the Wounded Officers Initiative Organization. (Form 8B on file in the City Clerk's Department)
Discussion ensued regarding waiving the fees in which it was decided that for consistency they
charge $100 as they have done in the past for other non-profit organizations. Mayor Johnson
announced that he would graciously donate the $100 since he attended their 2nd Annual Dinner
Gala and had an amazing experience.

Consent Agenda Motion
Motion: Move to adopt the Consent Agenda Items #1 - #12.
Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Wilsen; Motion
carried 5-0.
Commissioner Wilsen inquired if Public Works Director Krug would be bringing back before
them the discussion he had with the possible change in garbage pick-up. She further advised that
she has spoken with residents who are interested. Public Works Director Krug said they will be
bringing that topic back before them. They have looked at some high volume subdivisions that
they will like to have on a once a week collection as a test run. He is working out all the details
before this is brought back before them. City Manager Frank clarified that the discussion was
for a trial program to be considered to be sure it works well since there are a lot of residents that
would like to go green. Should the Commission decide to remain with the current pick-up
schedule, the rates could not be changed this year, as it is too late to do so. An increase would
have to be considered in next year's budget.

walking excavator purchased in the 2006-07 fiscal year. The Florida vendor for this highly specialized piece
of equipment, Great Southern Equipment, Inc., (GSE) has offered to purchase our existing Kaiser for
$25,000.00. Based on the depreciated value of the 10-year-old machine, the low demand for a used machine
of this type and the repairs required to bring it back to operational status, Public Works is recommending the
City Commission declare the unit surplus and accept the purchase offer. The replacement machine
incorporated in the current budget has been received and is ready to be put into service.

I. REGULAR AGENDA - 7:45 PM
15. Notice of Intent to Adopt Updated Regulations Relating to the City's Special Overlay
Area. (City Attorney Cookson)
The City has established Special Overlay Areas in its Land Development Code for the purpose of facilitating
unique development activities in areas where there is a need for coordination among landowners in the
development of the area. The three types of Special Overlay Areas identified in the Land Development Code
are Interchange Impact Areas,the Downtown Redevelopment Area,and Activity Centers.
The development standards and use compatibility evaluations for the Special Overlay Areas was initially
focused on undeveloped parcels within such areas. Recent redevelopment activities within such areas has
prompted City Staff to see a need to examine the compatibility of the Special Overlay Areas as they relate to
parcels that may be subject to redevelopment as opposed to initial development. In addition, City Staff feels
that certain uses within such Special Overlay Areas require an evaluation based on existing density and
compatibility concerns. Such uses, include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical dispensaries, fast food and
other drive-through restaurant establishments, check cashing stores, self-storage facilities, vehicle and tire
service, sales and repair facilities and discount retail stores. City Staff believes there is a need to establish a
moratorium in order to evaluate the Special Overlay Area standards for the purpose of updating said standards
specifically as they relate to uses(including the prohibition of such uses within certain areas and certain design
criteria where allowed),architecture,and compatibility;the development of zoning standards that will enhance
economic development and redevelopment in the Overlay Area;and to identify incentives to encourage quality
development in the Overlay Area. Applications that have already been received and accepted by the City as
complete and in compliance with submittal requirements will continue to be processed by City Staff and not
delayed by this action or the pending moratorium.
The purpose of this staff report is to notify the City Commission and all persons or entities intending to seek
approval of applications for development orders, development permits, and building permits concerning
properties for the specific uses set forth above and located within the Special Overlay Areas, that City Staff
intends to, following the expiration of the moratorium,bring forward an ordinance proposing amendments and
updates to the Land Development Code relating to the Special Overlay Areas, that the development of said
standards is in progress, and that any reliance upon current regulations or expenditure of funds in reliance of
current regulations is at the risk of the applicant.
City Attorney Cookson explained that this is a recommendation from City staff to update the
development standards and do a compatibility evaluation of the Special Overlay Districts in the
City. He explained that when those districts were originally examined, the standards that were
employed by the districts were primarily based on development standards for properties that had
yet to be developed.
The City has recently experienced some redevelopment where existing projects have been
replaced with new uses. In connection with planning for the downtown development district it
would be feasible for City staff to look at the Special Overlay Areas to see if there is a need to
re-examine those areas. In addition, City staff feels that certain uses within Special Overlay
Areas require an evaluation based on existing density and compatibility concerns. Such uses
include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical dispensaries, fast food and other drive-through
restaurant establishments, check cashing stores, self-storage facilities, vehicle and tire service,
sales and repair facilities and discount retail stores. City staff believes there is a need to establish
a 6 month moratorium in order to evaluate the Special Overlay Area standards for the purpose of
updating said standards specifically as they relate to uses. The issue before the City Commission
is rather they should authorize City staff to bring forward a 6 month moratorium on the
processing of applications for drive-thru restaurant establishments, check cashing stores, self-
storage facilities, vehicle and tire service, sales and repair facilities and discount retail stores.

September 6,2016
Jeff Krisan, 8233 Canetti Street, Orlando, FL, said they are in active negotiations with three
tenants for his property for three of the uses that are the moratorium. He advised their action for
a moratorium will affect them directly and immediately as they are in negotiations. He further
expressed his concerns on the uncertainty and negative effects that they will experience with the
moratorium and the uses that will be excluded, as well as the effect it will have on the value of
his property.
Commissioner Grogan inquired if this will be similar to the last moratorium they approved in
which current projects in review could be discussed with Assistant City Manager Shadrix to
work any issues out. City Attorney Cookson said what staff is recommending is that those
applications that have already been received and accepted by the City, as complete and in
compliance with submittal requirements, will continue to be processed by City Staff and not
delayed by this action or the pending moratorium. Mr. Krisan explained he was informed that
no more applications would be accepted for those uses until the moratorium is over, which is a
major burden to them. Mayor Johnson asked Mr. Krisan if he would share what businesses he
has negotiations with. It was answered that they have a Popeye's restaurant which has been
accepted by the City and current negotiations are with a tire/auto repair store, strip center project
with fast-food, and Dollar Tree. Those uses were permitted when he began negotiations. Mr.
Krisan further explained that they spent two years trying to market the property.
Mayor Johnson commented that is a major intersection and those uses are not what are needed
or will benefit the City of Ocoee.
Michael Hopper, 240 E. Silver Star Road, said he loves businesses, but this particular area is 50
West and he does not think that a tire store and Dollar Tree is appropriate for that area. He shared
that he is all for businesses in the City of Ocoee, but this does not fit the particular mold that the
Commission and other surrounding businesses are trying to bring forth.
Commissioner Wilsen said she has a concern because they have a CRA and they are investing
money into that area. She further commented that they already have a couple of dollar stores in
Ocoee. The Commission has a quality of life they would like to have in that area and tire stores,
check cashing, and storage facilities are not what she would like to see in that general location.
Commissioner Keller echoed Commissioner Wilsen's comments further sharing that those
types of businesses are not what he would like for people to see as they enter into the City limits
of Ocoee. They have more tire stores and dollar stores than they need. Additionally, residents
have made it clear many times to them that they want sit-down restaurants and not fast food. He
further agrees with the idea of putting forth a moratorium to help that area as they move forward
with the downtown and 429 corridor.
Commissioner Firstner inquired if this moratorium would cover all the overlay areas in the
CRA. City Planner Rumer answered that the moratorium would cover all the properties along
Hwy 50 which is in the CRA. Commissioner Firstner shared that his residents in District 3,
which is where this is located, have voiced that they do not want those types of business' on
Hwy 50. They are looking for sit-down restaurants and upscale shopping.

Regular City Commission
September 6,2016
Commissioner Grogan said he also feels the same with regards to development in the City. He
shared with Mr. Krisan that once Hwy 50 is completed, the area will become more desirable.
Angel de la Portilla, Economic Development Consultant for the City, shared that on August
22na and 23r1, he participated at a conference at the International Council of Shopping Centers,
along with Assistant City Manager Shadrix and City Planner Rumer. They reserved a booth and
met with many local developers and retailers. There is an incredible amount of interest in Ocoee
and inquiries were made regarding what will be put on Hwy 50 and Maguire Road, as well as the
West Oaks Mall. This area is going to go through a renaissance, as values are going up. He
further shared that they would gladly work with Mr. Krisan as this is not about limiting the uses,
but creating some design standards that the citizens are requesting. Mr. de la Portilla shared that
he would recommend that the Commission move forward with the moratorium and they will
gladly work with the property owners and their brokers.
Motion: Recommendation that City Staff brings forward a six-month moratorium
on accepting applications for uses that include, but are not limited to,
pharmaceutical dispensaries, fast food and other drive-through restaurant
establishments, check cashing stores, self-storage facilities, vehicle and tire
service, sales and repair facilities and discount retail stores, in the Special
Overlay Areas.
Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Firstner; Motion
carried unanimously.

17. City Center West Orange Final Site Plan (FSP) for Phases 1-3 and Development
Agreement, Project#LS-2015-008. (Continued from the June 21, 2016 meeting). (City Planner
Rumer)
The City Center West Orange project is generally located south of Maine Street, east of Bluford Avenue and
north of West Colonial Drive (SR 50)adjoining Lake Bennet. On July 6,2010,the City Commission adopted
the "CRA Target Areas Special Development Plan." The subject site is located within what is considered
"Target Area 2." Target Area 2 was further divided into two general sub areas("Sub-Area 1" and"Sub-Area
2"). Sub-Area 1, which is located along the frontage of Bluford Avenue and SR 50, provides for a more
conventional suburban design while Sub-Area 2 is intended to be a more urban environment. The proposed
site construction is generally located in Sub-Area 2. On April 21, 2015, the City Commission reviewed and
approved the Preliminary Site/Subdivision Plan. The City Center West Orange Final Site Plan (FSP) for
Phases 1 -3 will be developed as a mixed-use commercial,hotel,and multi-family development. Phase 1 will
consist of a multi-story (8 stories) building complex (Building C-J) containing 54,250 square feet of Retail,

b) Development Agreement
City Planner Rumer gave a brief summary of the project and provided a short video. He
announced there is a site plan approval and the City Attorney will go over the development
agreement.
City Attorney Cookson explained that the project is unique to the City and City staff has
worked for many months to reach a mutual concurrence on the development agreement, in which
the City will be a partner with the developer. The City will be providing incentives to the project
to help it come into fruition. The contribution of the incentive that the City is offering under the
development agreement is close to $9.3 million. City Attorney Cookson further explained the
reductions included, the incentives that would come from a tax increment incentive credit, and
all related impact fee credits. The City engaged GAI consultants to look at the figures and make
a recommendation. The recommendation was in line with the total incentives they offered. City

J. STAFF ACTION ITEMS -None
K. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS - 8:43 PM
Commissioner Grogan—None.
Commissioner Wilsen — Inquired if anyone recalls the time frame for the completion of the
Hwy 50 construction. Commissioner Keller said he believed it would be July 2017.
Commissioner Firstner—None.
Commissioner Keller — Said he received a Facebook message that the alarm on the Hackney
Prairie lift station went off and the resident called the emergency water number. They were told
that it was not an emergency and should call back on Tuesday. Commissioner Keller shared that
if an alarm goes off, a better response should be given to citizens. City Manager Frank said he
will look into this matter and address it.
Mayor Johnson — 1) Inquired what is being done with White Road from Clarke Road heading
toward Rose Hill. Public Works Director Krug explained that in the current budget they have
$125,000, however, the remaining portion of the monies will be included in the upcoming budget
since this will be about a $400,000 project. City Manager Frank interjected that this project has
been in the works for a while. Public Works Director Krug added that they have the project
already designed and permitted and just needs the funding. Mayor Johnson commented that

maybe he and Commissioner Wilsen can provide notices to the three subdivisions in that area
that the City is in the process of getting this fixed. Commissioner Wilsen shared that she has
spoken to the HOA President from Whitehill and they are aware. City Manager Frank advised
that the City can put a sign up informing residents. 2) Inquired about the palm trees on Bluford
Ave. Public Works Director Krug said that the P.O. has been issued and they are coordinating
the maintenance of traffic. He was hoping they could do it this week, but it looks like it may not
be until next week. 3) Inquired what the process is with their redevelopment bond issue for
moving forward with Bluford Ave. City Manager Frank explained that the first bond issue they
will deal with is the utility work, which should be closing within the next month. As soon as that
is completed, the bank and our financial advisors will be working on the next issue, which is $24
million. Further discussion ensued regarding the bond issue and time frame. 4) Said he would
like to thank staff for all their work and participation with the City Center. City Manager Frank
briefly explained how this was a great deal for all parties involved.
