Board Chair Leslee Dasher introduced Ordinance 1-24. Planning consultant Lance Lilly of Chen Moore and Associates gave a presentation about the proposed Ordinance, which will create zoning overlays in the Village. Mr. Lilly told the board that the proposed Ordinance was created based on recommendations from the Village's Commercial Master Plan, which was adopted in 2022. He told the board about the public input that was involved in the creation of the Master Plan. He also highlighted that there had been six different public workshops held with the Village Council or Planning and Zoning Board to discuss the proposed zoning overlays. Mr. Lilly then introduced each of the three zoning overlays: Tequesta Drive Overlay, US-Highway One Overlay, and Village Center Overlay. He explained to the board what each overlay would do and how they differ from each other. He then explained additional concepts that are in each of the three overlays, such as landscaping requirements, civic open space requirements, a process that allows a payment in lieu of civic open space, parking in the rear, fagade transparency, and waivers. After Mr. Lilly completed his presentation, the board opened discussion. There was no public comment. Board Member Sapirie listed several aspects of the code she would like to see amended. These included the definition of "open space", waivers, the required mix of uses in the MU District, and building frontage types. MOTION: Member Schauer made a motion to recommend approval of Ordinance 1-24 with the following conditions: 1 . Update the definition of "Open space, civic" to say "Open space, civic means an outdoor area that is maintained as an urban amenity and is accessible to the general public during reasonable hours". 2. Update Section 78-204 (Waivers), to clarify that the Planning and Zoning Board shall review and make recommendations on waivers to Village Council as part of the site plan approval process. 3. Make it clear that while the Village may allow the dedication of civic open space to the Village for maintenance and operations, the Village Council does not have to accept the dedication of civic open space. 4. Reduce the size of properties that are eligible to request a payment in lieu of civic open space from 2 acres to 1 acre. 5. Make it clear that civic open space cannot have artificial turf. 6. Establish criteria for when the 80/20 residential/commercial mix can be relaxed in the MU District. Member Maggio seconded the motion. The Motion was approved 5-0. STAFF COMMENTS PUBLIC COMMENTS There was no Public comment. BOARD COMMENTS There was no Board comment. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Member Schauer made a motion to adjourn at 6:35 pm.
