REGULAR AGENDA. ORDINANCE NUMBER 01-262026- YOU, DENA FREEMAN, COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND PLANNING REVIEWER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES, YOU'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE, YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE AGENDA OR READ THE TITLE. NO, NO YOU'RE NOT TODAY. SO I ORDINARILY PRESENT HE JUST TOLD ME AS WELL. BUT I WAS LIKE, WAIT, WE'RE ALREADY STARTED. SO I'M GOING TO DO MY PRESENTATION AT THE PODIUM BECAUSE I FEEL THAT'S MORE COMFORTABLE TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS. SO I'M JUST GOING TO DO THAT STRAIGHT AWAY. AND AFTER THAT, WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE THEIR THEY'VE PROVIDED A PRESENTATION. WE'RE GOING TO LET THE APPLICANT PRESENT AFTER THAT. AND THEN WE'LL PROCEED WITH THE REST OF THE MEETING. THANK YOU. SOMEBODY VERY TALL. SO DENA FREEMAN, COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES TEAM THAT REVIEW ALL APPLICATIONS THAT COME IN, SUBMITTED BY PROPERTY OWNERS AND APPLICANTS WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO THE APPLICATION IS CALLED PROJECT PARROT AND IT'S BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. AND IT IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. AND THE ANNEXATION NUMBER IS ANNEX 25 001. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. I GOT IT WORKING. SO THIS IS THE FORMAL APPLICANT REQUEST BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY FOR APPROVAL OF ANNEXATION. ANNEXATION BY VOLUNTARY PETITION OF 5,722.30 ACRES OF PROPERTY. THIS IS LOCATED NORTH AND SOUTH OF SOUTHWEST KANNER HIGHWAY AND WEST OF SOUTHWEST WARFIELD BOULEVARD, AND IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. AND HERE WE HAVE A LOCATION MAP, AND WHAT THIS SHOWS YOU IS THE EXISTING AREA OF THE VILLAGE. BOUNDARIES. MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES AND JURISDICTION IS DEPICTED IN RED IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION, WHICH IS DEPICTED IN BLUE EITHER SIDE OF SOUTHWEST KANNER HIGHWAY AND THE CANAL. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU SHOW SOUTHWEST FARM ROAD, WARFIELD BOULEVARD, AND THE OVERALL AREA OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN BOUNDARY. SO THIS IS TO GIVE YOU THE OVERALL LOCATION. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND JUST BEFORE I GET INTO THIS, I ALSO WANTED TO JUST EXPLAIN, BECAUSE ANNEXATION IS A WORD THAT NOT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS. SO AN ANNEXATION IS AN ADDITION OF PROPERTY THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. IT'S CURRENTLY WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY. SO WHAT WHAT THE REQUEST IS TODAY IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IS THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO COME INTO THE VILLAGE AND BECOME PART OF THE VILLAGE WHERE THEY'RE CURRENTLY UNDER THE

[00:05:04]

JURISDICTION, AND LAND USE AND ZONING AND ANY PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS, AS PER MARTIN COUNTY CODES. AND THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE STATUTES. THEY CAN ASK ANY ANY PROPERTY OWNER AND APPLICANT WHO'S LOOKING TO PURCHASE PROPERTY CAN ACTUALLY ASK FOR AN ANNEXATION AS PER STATE STATUTES, AND ALSO AS PER VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN CODES, WHICH ARE CONSISTENT WITH STATE STATUTES. SO WHAT THIS MAP DOES IS SHOW YOU THE EXISTING PROPERTY THAT'S OWNED ENTIRELY BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. IN RELATION TO TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST IS THE FLORIDA POWER GENERATION FACILITY, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SUBSTANTIAL EXISTING OPERATION WITHIN THE WESTERN AREA OF MINE COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE AND WEST OF THE VILLAGE. WE ALSO SHOW IN RELATION TO THE AREA WITHIN THE BOUNDARY WE HAVE INDUSTRIAL IMMEDIATELY NORTH, WHICH INCLUDES THE SILVER FOX, WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE A PRE-APPLICATION PENDING SUBMITTAL FOR A POTENTIAL PROPOSED DATA CENTER TO THE NORTH. THE EXISTING COGEN FACILITY, WHICH IS OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT, WHICH IS BEING OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF OPERATION AND HAS BEEN REPURPOSED WITH A MULTITUDE OF THE POWER. POWER. I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT THE TERMINOLOGY IS. POWER PACKS? YES. WHERE THEY A MULTITUDE OF USES, WHICH IS IN SUPPORT OF FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. WE ALSO HAVE SOME VACANT INDUSTRIAL LAND WITHIN THE VILLAGE, WHICH INCLUDES THE INDIAN TOWN TECHNOLOGY AND COMMERCE PARK, A PERMIT READY PROPERTY. WE HAVE THE VENTURE PARK FURTHER NORTH, WHICH IS AN EXISTING APPROVED PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION WHICH IS ALMOST BUILT OUT. WE ALSO AND INCLUDED IN THAT ARE LIKE EAST COAST METALS, VENTURE PARK, KENDALL INDUSTRIAL, GREEN CARBON. WE HAVE P3 TECHNOLOGIES, A BOAT MANUFACTURING, A COUPLE OF SITES THAT ARE UNDER REVIEW FOR PLANNING. BUT THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING IN THAT PART OF THE VILLAGE IN TERMS OF INDUSTRIAL, HEAVY AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. WE ALSO HAVE FURTHER EAST, WE HAVE SOME OTHER LAND THAT'S OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. THEN TO THE SOUTH IS SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OWNED PROPERTY, WHICH IS WITHIN PALM BEACH COUNTY, AND THEN TO THE WEST IS ALSO SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. PARK AND CONSERVATION LANDS. AND NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. OH, AND I FORGOT TO MENTION TERRA LAGER IS ALSO THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT MAP. AND OBVIOUSLY THE REST OF INDIAN TOWN OFFER WARFIELD WITH COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL. ALL RIGHT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS A PROPERTY LOCATION MAP THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT JUST TO DEPICT. AND IT'S IT'S PART OF WHAT WAS THE BOUNDARY SURVEY THAT IS REQUIRED. SO WHEN THEY SUBMIT THEIR ANNEXATION APPLICATION THEY'RE PROVIDED THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE QUITE A LOT OF INFORMATION, INCLUDING CONFIRMATION OF THE PARCEL CONTROL NUMBERS AND THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND THE BOUNDARY SURVEY TO SHOW THAT AND ALSO THE DEEDS TO SHOW THAT THEY OWN ALL OF THE PROPERTY. AND IT'S CORRECTLY SURVEYED. IT WAS REVIEWED BY OUR VILLAGE PROFESSIONAL SURVEYOR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CORRECT, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S ACCURATE IN THE DEPICTION OF MOVING FORWARD. IF IT DOES GET APPROVED, THAT IT'S IT'S CORRECTLY RECORDED WITH THE MARTIN COUNTY PROPERTY INFORMATION. SO WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS IT SHOWS THE FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT OWNED PROPERTY, AND IT SHOWS IT IN RELATION TO THE EXISTING TESORO AND THE POWER GENERATION FACILITY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO WHEN INCORPORATED THE BOUNDARY WAS DRAWN. AND THIS IS THE WITH A LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND THE SURVEYS. THIS IS THE EXTENT OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN AS IT IS RIGHT NOW. SO THAT WAS THAT. AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE SHOULD SHOW YOU THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AND THEN WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THE ANNEXATION IS APPROVED IS THE RED LINE WOULD EXTEND AND INCORPORATE ALL OF THE THE ACREAGE THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED TO BE ANNEXED INTO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO IT JUST GIVES YOU THE OVERALL SCALE AND THE THE VISUAL IN RELATION TO THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE WE GET INTO LAND USE. SO FUTURE LAND USE IS ESTABLISHED WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAPS AND THE DESIGNATIONS AS THEY ARE RIGHT NOW THERE ARE THREE DESIGNATIONS. THERE'S CONSERVATION, AGRICULTURAL AND THERE'S ALSO A DESIGNATION IN RELATION TO THE UTILITIES WITH THE THE MAJOR FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT EXISTING FACILITY, WHICH IS IN THE NORTH WESTERN AREA THAT'S DEPICTED IN GRAY. AND THEN THE LIGHT, THE GREEN THAT'S THE BRIGHTER GREEN IS THE CONSERVATION DESIGNATION. NOW, THIS LAND IS OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. IT IS ACTUALLY, FROM THE SURVEY INFORMATION, AN EASEMENT,

[00:10:02]

PERPETUAL EASEMENT WITH SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. SO IT IS OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. THEY ARE INCORPORATING THAT AS PART OF THEIR REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION.

SO THE LAND USE FOR THAT AND THE REST OF THE GREEN, WHICH IS AGRICULTURAL, THE LAND USE MAP AS A AS A CONCURRENT APPLICATION IS A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE COLORS ON THE MAP, BECAUSE ONCE IF THEY DO BECOME PART OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS IN ORDER TO BE PART OF VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. AND THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE LAND USES THAT ARE AVAILABLE THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PLAN TO BE DOING IN THE FUTURE WITH THE SITE, AND ALSO IN RELATION TO WHAT'S THE EXISTING PATTERNS OF LAND USE IMMEDIATELY ABUTTING AND ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY? AND IN THIS CASE, IF YOU SEE THE DARK GRAY THAT IS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND THEN TO THE EAST OF THAT DARK GRAY IS A LIGHTER GRAY, WHICH IS ALL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. RIGHT NOW, IN RELATION TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST A ZOOMED IN VERSION OF THAT WHICH GIVES YOU THE PUBLIC CONSERVATION IN THE GREEN AND THEN AGRICULTURAL. AND THEN IT'S ALSO GOT THE IT'S CALLED A MAJOR POWER GENERATION FACILITY MARTIN COUNTY DESIGNATION WHERE IT OVERLAPS WITH THE FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. EXISTING OPERATIONS. IT'S GOT ITS OWN SPECIAL LAND USE. AND THAT'S THAT'S THE SUMMARY OF THE EXISTING MARTIN COUNTY LAND USE DESIGNATION.

ZOOMED IN SO YOU COULD SEE THAT NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE PROPOSED LAND USE IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN TERMS OF ANY KIND OF INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS. THE TWO OPTIONS ARE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL WHICH IS A MORE INTENSE 100% OF THE PROPERTY COULD BE DEVELOPED UNDER THAT.

WHEREAS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE PROVIDES. IT'S IT'S A ONE DOWN FROM THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDES STILL A NUMBER OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OPTIONS IS USES. BUT IT'S JUST WHEN STAFF ARE REVIEWING IT'S MORE CONSISTENT WITH THAT STEP DOWN FROM HEAVY INTO LIGHT AND CONSISTENT WITH TO THE THE NORTHEAST OF THE WITHIN THE VILLAGE AT THE MOMENT. SO THERE'S THE EXTENT OF WHAT WOULD BE THE PROPOSED LAND USE IF THE ANNEXATION. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO EXPLAIN THAT. SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ANNEXATION REQUEST AND THE THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, WHICH IS A CONCURRENT APPLICATION. SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE INCLUDED THAT SLIDE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS SHOWS THE EXISTING ZONING WITH THIS BEING VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN MAP THAT SHOWS THE EXISTING ZONING IS NOT WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO TO THE NORTH OF THAT, IT DOES SHOW THAT HEAVY INDUSTRIAL IN THE DARKER PURPLE AND THEN THE LIGHTER PURPLE. SO WITH THE LAND USE YOU ALSO HAVE A ZONING MAP. AND SO WHEN THEY COME FORWARD WITH ANY SUBSEQUENT REQUEST TO REZONE THEIR OPTION, IF THEY REQUEST AND GET APPROVAL FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE, THEY WOULD EITHER REQUEST A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, OR THEY WILL GO FOR A REQUEST TO PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS A ALTERNATIVE TO ZONING. AND WE'VE BEEN INDICATED THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS AS PART OF THEIR APPLICATION MATERIALS THAT THEY'RE LIKELY GOING TO BE SUBMITTING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, A REZONE TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH PROVIDES A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF RATHER THAN STRAIGHT ZONING. IT PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS AND CONDITIONS AND POLICIES. IT CAN ALSO REINFORCE SOME INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, AND WE CAN GET INTO ALL OF THE OTHER MAXIMUMS AND MINIMUMS IN TERMS OF THRESHOLDS AND IN TERMS OF PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT AND TIMETABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND A MASTER PLAN, WHICH WILL SHOW THE OVERALL MINIMUMS, MAXIMUMS AND LIST OF POTENTIAL USES. SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE SHOWN THIS SLIDE AS WELL. THANK YOU. NEXT SLIDE. AND THIS IS SHOWING THE EXISTING ZONING. THIS IS AN A-2 AGRICULTURAL OLD CATEGORY C ZONING DISTRICT FROM THE 1960S I BELIEVE. SO IT'S AN OLD CATEGORY C ZONING DISTRICT A-2. IT'S ACTUALLY NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE. SO THAT THAT'S JUST AN INFORMATIVE IT'S IT'S SO OLD. SO REALLY WHAT THAT WOULD BE IF IT WAS WANTING TO BE DEVELOPED WOULD BE AG 20 A. SO BUT I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION. SO YOU SEE THE ZONING IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION BOUNDARY AS IT IS IN MARTIN COUNTY TODAY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE REVIEW PROCESS. YOU ALL GOT A VERY DETAILED STAFF REPORT, AN APPLICATION PACKET THAT INCLUDED THE MATERIALS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT. SO WHAT HAPPENED? THEY SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. THERE WAS AN INTAKE AND A COMPLETENESS REVIEW BY STAFF. IT WAS DEEMED TO BE COMPLETE BECAUSE IT PROVIDED ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS REQUIRED FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR IT TO BE A COMPLETENESS REVIEW SUCCESS. AND THEN STAFF REVIEW, WHICH INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES, WHICH IS ENVIRONMENTAL, IT'S TRAFFIC, IT'S SURVEY, IT'S THE VILLAGE ENGINEER, IT'S PLANNING STAFF. IT'S ALSO THE PUBLIC

[00:15:07]

WORKS AND UTILITIES DIRECTOR AND MARTIN COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY REVIEW IT AS AN OVERALL REVIEW. WE ALSO HAD A TRAFFIC CONSULTANT REVIEW THIS FROM A TRAFFIC POINT OF VIEW AS A PROFESSIONAL TRAFFIC CONSULTANT. SO BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO THIS POINT WHERE WE DO A PUBLIC HEARING, WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED. WE REVIEW IT. IF THERE'S INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED AS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, THEY RESUBMIT. SO BEFORE WE GET TO THIS POINT WHERE WE'RE RECOMMENDATION STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET THE FLORIDA STATE STATUTES, THE COMP PLAN, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THEY CORRECTLY NOTICE. SO WE GO THROUGH THE REVIEW. AND THEN WHEN WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE THEY'VE SATISFIED SATISFIED DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES AS STAFF, WE THEN GO THROUGH THE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING THE SIGNS ON SITE, THE NOTICES WITHIN 300FT. AND THAT'S ALL WITHIN OUR CODE AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY PUBLIC HEARING. AND IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE STATUTES. AND WADE, AS OUR VILLAGE ATTORNEY, REVIEWS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING OUR JOB CORRECTLY AS STAFF, BUT ALSO THAT THE APPLICANT'S DONE WHAT THEY NEED TO DO WITH THE SIGNS AND THE LEGALITIES. AND THEN WHAT WE DO NEXT IS WE SCHEDULE THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND WE INVITE, OBVIOUSLY, WE CREATE THE AGENDAS AND WE INVITE WE NOTICE AND ADVERTISE AND INVITE THE COMMENTS. AND WE'VE GOT A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE. SO THAT'S GREAT TO SEE BECAUSE THE PROCESS IS WORKING. SO STAFF MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND WE'VE MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT BECAUSE IT ULTIMATELY WE HAVE CRITERIA TO DO TO DO WITH THE ANNEXATION.

AND IT'S ULTIMATELY SO THAT THE THE PROJECT IS CONTIGUOUS. THE LAND IS CONTIGUOUS. THAT IS ULTIMATELY THERE IS A DEFINITION IN THE STATE STATUTES. IT WAS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT ULTIMATELY, IS IT ADJACENT TO AND IS IT CREATING ANY ENCLAVE? AN ENCLAVE IS WHERE IF IT WAS SURROUNDED ON FOUR SIDES BY A LAND THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE, IF IT'S WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY AND YOU COULDN'T GET ACCESS TO THAT, IT WASN'T ALREADY SERVED BY SOME EXISTING UTILITIES, WHICH WE HAVE SOME EXISTING UTILITIES AND A PIPE THROUGH THE ACTUAL CANAL RIGHT NOW. SO WE ALREADY HAVE LAND THAT'S SERVED BY THE VILLAGE AS UTILITIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CANA AND THE CANAL, AND FROM A CONTIGUOUS THE DEFINITION. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT WATER AND THE ROAD AND THE FACT THAT THE SITE IS SEPARATED BY THE CANAL AND SOUTHWEST CANA HIGHWAY FROM A STATE STATUTE. THERE ARE POLICIES AND THERE'S ACTUAL CRITERIA THAT EXCLUDES IF YOU HAVE A ROAD AND A CANAL THAT'S SEPARATING YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF BEING DEFINED AS CONTIGUOUS IN TERMS OF CONNECTING THE THE ROAD AND THE CANAL ARE NOT YOU BASICALLY THAT IS NOT CLASSED AS A LEGAL SEPARATION. SO IT IS CONTIGUOUS EVEN WITH THAT SEPARATION LEGALLY, THAT'S NOT THAT MAKES IT A CONTIGUOUS REQUEST WITH THE OVERALL LAND FOR THIS PROJECT. SO I'M SUMMARIZING THE OVERALL PROCESS. WE'RE HERE TODAY WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. THE STAFF REPORT, THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO MAKE A PRESENTATION TO. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM ANYBODY WHO'S, YOU KNOW, WANTING TO MAKE COMMENT. AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO GET QUESTIONS FROM YOU. SO FROM A REVIEW STANCE THESE ARE THE SPECIFICS OF THE POLICIES. WE'VE GOT THE ECC ONE THAT'S 1.25. AND FLORIDA STATE STATUTES CHAPTER 171.044. SO THE PROPERTY IS SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE POLICY AS A CONTIGUOUS TO THE VILLAGE BOUNDARIES AND SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 12 THREE IN TERMS OF VILLAGE POLICY ON ANNEXATION AND CONTRACTION APPLICATIONS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION FOR ANNEX 20 500. THE REVIEW NOW IS BEFORE USE PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD OPERATING AS THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY AHEAD OF CONSIDERATION BEFORE VILLAGE COUNCIL AS TWO SEPARATE PUBLIC HEARINGS. SO AT THIS POINT, THAT'S THE END OF STAFF PRESENTATION. WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE APPLICANT AND THEIR PRESENTATION AS AS THE NEXT PART OF THIS PROCESS, I THINK, IS THAT YOU, BRIAN, OR YOU JAMIE? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL LET YOU GO. AND THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS JAMIE GENTILE, EXECUTIVE SENIOR DIRECTOR WITH FPL DEVELOPMENT. I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A FEW OPENING STATEMENTS AND MY COLLEAGUES TO TO TAKE YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS, BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. AS MISS FREEMAN MENTIONED, WE'RE HERE TO TO PRESENT A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. I NEED MY GLASSES FOR APPROXIMATELY 5700 ACRES INTO THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN. THE AREA IS CURRENTLY USED FOR ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION, SOLAR POWER GENERATION AND AGRICULTURE. AND THIS ANNEXATION WOULD ALLOW US TO

[00:20:03]

EXPAND THOSE USES AND SUPPORT NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENERGY PROJECTS. AS MISS FREEMAN POINTED OUT, WE HAVE NOT SUBMITTED A FORMAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THIS IS WE REALLY WANTED TO KIND OF MAKE SURE WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANNEX INTO THE TO THE VILLAGE FIRST, AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK WITH THAT AT A LATER DATE. BUT WE DO SEE THIS REQUEST AS CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE INVESTMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE REGION. THE ANNEXATION IS DESIGNED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE VILLAGE'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS MISS FREEMAN POINTED OUT, AND WILL RESULT IN AN ORDERLY EXPANSION OF THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY. I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO INTRODUCE A COUPLE TEAM MEMBERS, BRIAN NOLAN WITH LUCIDO AND ASSOCIATES, AND BOB RAINES WITH GUNSTER, WHO'VE JOINED US HERE THIS EVENING AS PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM. I'D ASK BRIAN TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH OUR PRESENTATION AND THE DETAILS OF OUR REQUEST. AND AGAIN, WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OF US. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS. MY NAME IS BRIAN NOLAN WITH LUCIDO AND ASSOCIATES. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE THIS EVENING AND ALSO THANK THE VILLAGE STAFF FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION IN THIS PROCESS. THAT IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED. AND WE DO AGREE WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. DINA DID A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION, WHICH ODDLY IS VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, SO I HOPE IT DOESN'T. I HOPE IT DOESN'T BORE YOU, SO I'LL PROBABLY SPEED THROUGH MOST OF IT. SO AS IT WAS POINTED OUT, WE ARE HERE SEEKING A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 5700 ACRES. I THINK WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH WITH WHERE IT LIES NORTH AND SOUTH OF KANNER HIGHWAY AND THE OKEECHOBEE WATERWAY. CURRENT LAND USE IS MARTIN COUNTY AGRICULTURAL, PUBLIC CONSERVATION AND MAJOR POWER GENERATION FACILITY, WITH THE CURRENT ZONING OF A TWO, WHICH DINA POINTED OUT IS A CATEGORY C ZONING DISTRICT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A MANDATORY REZONING. SHOULD WE DO ANYTHING IN MARTIN COUNTY? AND CURRENT USES INCLUDE AN OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINE CORRIDOR ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AREA. THE AREA NORTH OF KANNER AND THE CANAL IS MONARCH SOLAR. IT'S ABOUT 700 ACRES UP THERE. IT'S THE SOLAR FACILITY IS ABOUT 500 ACRES. AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION LINE CORRIDOR MAKES UP THE REMAINDER. SO IT'S ABOUT 700 ACRES NORTH OF THE CANAL AND ABOUT 5000 SOUTH OF THE CANAL. NEXT, PLEASE. AGAIN, WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH WHERE THE SITE IS LOCATED. NEXT SLIDE. AGAIN, SOME OF THE SURROUNDING USES. YOU CAN SEE THE FORMER COGEN FACILITY FOR NATURAL GAS. THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY HIGHLIGHTED. AND WE DID POINT OUT MONARCH SOLAR FACILITY THERE ON THE NORTHERN 500 OR SO ACRES, WITH THE OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINE CORRIDOR ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE. NEXT SLIDE. AGAIN SHOWING SOME OF THE ADJACENCIES THERE. NEXT SLIDE. AND DINA WALKED US ALL THROUGH THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THIS IS YOUR LAND USE MAP OF THE VILLAGE. YOU CAN SEE THE CONTIGUITY TO THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY AND ALSO THE CONTIGUITY TO THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AND PROXIMITY TO THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES ON THE NORTH. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AGAIN, THE ZONING WITH THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND ALL THE SURROUNDING AG USES. NEXT SLIDE.

AND THIS AGAIN IS THE COUNTY'S FUTURE LAND USE. THAT THAT DINA ALSO EXPLAINED. NEXT SLIDE AND CURRENT COUNTY ZONING. JUST THE A2 ZONING DISTRICT NEXT SLIDE. AS I THINK WE'VE DEMONSTRATED IN THE APPLICATION PACKAGE, WE ARE SUBSTANTIALLY CONTIGUOUS TO THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY. WE ARE REASONABLY COMPACT. WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY LOCATED WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY OF ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY. WE'RE FULLY WITHIN UNINCORPORATED MARTIN COUNTY. AND WE FEEL AND AS THE STAFF REPORT INDICATES, WE FEEL WE'RE WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH THE RELEVANT GOALS, POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES OF YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SHOULD THE ANNEXATION BE ADOPTED, IT WILL NOT CREATE AN ENCLAVE. WE FEEL IT WILL CREATE A RESULT IN AN ORDERLY EXPANSION OF THE VILLAGE'S BOUNDARY, AND IT WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT, INVESTMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE VILLAGE. AND WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. HEARING NONE.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? NOT ME. WAS WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I WOULD

[00:25:09]

JUST IS THIS ON? FIRST, I'D LIKE TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION TO STAFF BECAUSE IF YOU LOOKED AT THIS SUBMITTAL, IT GOES ON FOR DAYS. SO I HAVE TO SAY THAT VERY PROUD. AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK THAT THE STAFF HAS PUT IN AND OBVIOUSLY FPL AND THEY'RE IN THERE AND THEY'RE PEOPLE THAT ARE HELPING THEM GET THIS DONE. I WILL SAY THIS GOING BACK A LITTLE HISTORY, YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR FPL, INDIANTOWN NEVER WOULD HAVE BECOME INCORPORATED. FPL IS THE LARGEST TAX PAYER IN INDIANTOWN AND PROBABLY MARTIN COUNTY FOR THAT FACT. I'M OVERJOYED THAT THAT FPL HAS DECIDED TO ANNEX THIS PROPERTY INTO THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, BECAUSE IT WILL IMMEDIATELY INCREASE OUR TAX BASE, IMMEDIATELY MAKE MORE THINGS VIABLE FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, AND THE EXCITEMENT THAT WILL COME WHEN THEY DO DEVELOP THIS SITE FOR MORE POWER GENERATION OR WHATEVER THEY PLAN ON DOING. SO, AS YOU CAN TELL, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS ANNEXATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU! I WOULD LIKE TO RESERVE COMMENT UNTIL WE'VE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC IF THAT'S OKAY. YES THAT'S OKAY, SO WOULD I ANY PUBLIC COMMENT, MA'AM? THE FIRST IS MR. LAMAR WEST. GOOD EVENING. MADAM CHAIR. COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF. MY NAME IS LAMAR WEATHERS AND I HAVE LIVED ON LAND ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AREA, AND IT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR NEARLY 100 YEARS. WHILE IT'S NEVER BEEN A LARGE FARM, MY FAMILY MAINTAINED SMALL SCALE AGRICULTURE THERE, INCLUDING CITRUS FRUIT TREES AND FOR A SHORT TIME, LIVESTOCK. WE LIVED AND CARED FOR THAT LAND ACROSS GENERATIONS. THAT HISTORY MATTERS TO ME NOT AS SENTIMENT, BUT AS STEWARDSHIP. AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL TONIGHT. I WANT TO BE CLEAR, I AM NOT OPPOSED TO PROGRESS. OVER THE YEARS, I'VE WATCHED ADJACENT LAND CHANGE FROM CITRUS TO SUGARCANE AND SOD. I UNDERSTAND THAT LAND USE EVOLVES, AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE PUSH FOR SOLAR ENERGY AND THE ROLE THAT IT PLAYS FOR OUR FUTURE. MY CONCERNS ARE NOT ABOUT THE SOLAR PANELS ALONE. ACCORDING TO THE VILLAGE'S OWN DOCUMENTS, THIS ANNEXATION IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT FUTURE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, BEGINNING WITH A SUBSTATION AND ADDITIONAL PHASES BEYOND THE INITIAL SOLAR USE. ONCE THIS LAND IS ANNEXED AND REDESIGNATED TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE, PROTECTIONS ARE PERMANENTLY REMOVED AND FUTURE USES MAY INTENSIFY OVER TIME. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR MY QUALITY OF LIFE AND FOR MY NEIGHBORS. THAT INCLUDES THE LOSS OF RURAL VIEWS, OPEN SPACE, ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS AND POTENTIAL CHANGES TO DRAINAGE AND SOIL MOISTURE THAT AFFECT AGRICULTURAL LAND. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT WATER. MY NEIGHBORS AND I RELY ON PRIVATE WELLS AND OUR DRINKING WATER, OR FOR OUR DRINKING WATER. AT THIS STAGE, I'VE NOT SEEN ANY AQUIFER IMPACT STUDIES, ANY GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLANS, OR A COMMITMENT TO BASE WATER OR BASELINE WELL TESTING WHEN LAND IS GRADED, COMPACTED AND DEVELOPED AT THIS SCALE, IT CAN CHANGE HOW WATER MOVES UNDERGROUND. AND THAT MATTERS WHEN YOU DEPEND ON A SHALLOW AQUIFER. I ALSO WANT TO RAISE THE ISSUE OF NOISE. SUBSTATIONS AND POTENTIAL BATTERY STORAGE FACILITIES PRODUCE CONTINUOUS, LOW FREQUENCY SOUND THAT CARRIES FARTHER IN RURAL AREAS AND IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT. I HAVE NOT SEEN A NOISE IMPACT STUDY. PROJECTED DECIBEL DECIBEL LEVELS AT NEARBY HOMES, OR ANY ENFORCEABLE LIMITS ADDRESSING HOW THIS WILL BE AFFECTED. EXISTING RESIDENTS OVER LONG TERM. I'M NOT HERE TO STOP PROGRESS. I'M JUST ASKING THE VILLAGE TO ENSURE THAT PROGRESS IS RESPONSIBLE, THAT CLEAR, ENFORCEABLE PROTECTIONS ARE PUT IN PLACE FOR EXISTING LANDOWNERS, FOR WATER RESOURCES AND FOR FUTURE INDUSTRIAL USES BEFORE THIS ANNEXATION MOVES FORWARD. THIS LAND IN THIS COMMUNITY EXISTED LONG BEFORE THIS PROPOSAL. I'M RESPONSIBLE ASKED THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LIVE HERE ARE PROTECTED.

AS DECISIONS ARE MADE ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

MR.

[00:30:15]

THANK YOU, VILLAGE COUNCIL. I AM CAROL MCALLISTER. I HAVE BEEN AN INDIAN TOWN RESIDENT FOR 87 YEARS. I'VE LIVED HERE A LONG TIME. MY FAMILY CAME HAS BEEN HERE OVER 100 YEARS. A WEEK AGO I FOUND AT THE ENTRANCE TO MY PROPERTY ON FARM ROAD, I FOUND A SIGN THAT'S A ZONING CHANGE. WELL, I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK. WELL, OF COURSE IT WAS NEW YEAR'S WEEKEND AND YOU CAN'T FIND OUT A THING. I WENT ONLINE TRYING TO TO FIND OUT WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING.

SO MONDAY MORNING, WHATEVER DAY. THAT WAS THE SECOND, I GUESS IT WAS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DAY IT WAS, BUT ANYWAY, I JUST CAME TONIGHT. I JUST REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING AND HOW DID IT GET TO THIS PLACE. AND I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I JOINED RIGHT UP TO IT. THANK YOU. YOU. MISS MARIA ALLEN? GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SPEAK. I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING THAT AGAIN, JUST AS MY NEIGHBORS ARE NOT AGAINST PROGRESS, WE UNDERSTAND PROGRESS HAPPENS. CORRECT. BUT WE WANT IT TO BE CAUTIOUS. WE WANT YOU TO ALL THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO LET ME PUT MY GLASSES ON SO I CAN NOT MISS MY NOTES. I LIVE HERE OFF OF KANNER HIGHWAY, 300FT AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION WITH MY HUSBAND. WE HAVE A SMALL FARM WITH HORSES AND CHICKENS. WE WANT TO GROW THAT FARM AND HAVE SOME LITTLE COWS, BUT WE ARE OPPOSED TO TO THE ANNEXATION DUE TO THE DIRECT IMPACTS IN THE NEARBY RESIDENTIAL AREAS. FIRST, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPERTY VALUE AND LAND USE COMPATIBILITY. THIS AREA HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL IN NATURE. INDUSTRIAL SCALE SOLAR IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SMALL RANCHES AND RESIDENCES AT THIS PROXIMITY, AND FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERS THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY. SECONDLY, MY HOUSEHOLD, AS MY NEIGHBORS, RELY ON PRIVATE WELL.

DRAWING FROM THE FLORIDAN AQUIFER, FLORIDA LAW RECOGNIZES THE NEED TO PROTECT GROUNDWATER RECHARGE AREAS. LARGE SOLAR INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE GRADING, SOIL COMPACTION, AND STORMWATER SYSTEMS THAT CAN DISRUPT NATURAL RECHARGE. IF PANELS, WIRING, OR EQUIPMENT ARE DAMAGED, ESPECIALLY DURING HURRICANES, THERE IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN ABOUT CHEMICAL RUNOFF ENTERING GROUNDWATER. ANY CONTAMINATION WOULD DIRECTLY AFFECT HOMES LIKE MINE THAT RELY ON THE WELL WATER. THIRDLY, THIS LAND CURRENTLY SUPPORTS LOCAL WILDLIFE. LOCAL WILDLIFE WOULD BE DISPLACED BY FENCING, VEGETATION REMOVAL AND INCREASED HUMAN ACTIVITY. FINALLY, LIVESTOCK ARE SENSITIVE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION, NOISE, GLARE, DRAINAGE ALTERATIONS AND LONG TERM SITE AVAILABILITY, AVAILABILITY OR ACTIVITY. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE COUNCIL AND MADAM CHAIR TO CONSIDER WHETHER ANNEXATION IS APPROPRIATE BEFORE SITE SPECIFIC STUDIES ON GROUNDWATER PROTECTION, RUNOFF, WILDLIFE IMPACTS AND AGRICULTURAL COMPATIBILITY ARE COMPLETED AT A MINIMUM. THIS PROJECT SHOULD NOT PROCEED WITHOUT STRONG, ENFORCEABLE PROTECTIONS FOR NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THIS MORNING. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

DONNA CARMEN, INDIAN TOWN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND DONNA CARMEN. AS AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT OF THE COMMUNITY, LIKE MANY OF YOU AT THIS TABLE, WE GREW UP HERE AND WE'VE SEEN THE EVOLUTION, EVOLUTION OF OUR COMMUNITY CHANGE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE YEARS, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE I DO REPRESENT THE CHAMBER AND OUR MEMBERS. WE'RE HERE TO PROPOSE, TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. AND I DON'T MEAN JUST THE LARGE CORPORATIONS. I'M TALKING THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY THE LARGER CORPORATIONS AND THE EMPLOYEES THAT THEY BRING TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND NOT JUST THE INVESTMENT IN THE DOLLARS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM REQUIRES DOLLARS. WE ALL KNOW THAT. WE KNOW THAT FPNL HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL NEIGHBOR. I CAN TELL YOU FROM THE YOUNG WOMAN, YOUNG NEWLYWED

[00:35:05]

RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL THAT WENT TO WORK AT FIRST BANK OF INDIANTOWN WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THE MARTIN PLANT FRIDAY NIGHT, THE EMPLOYEES LINED OUT THAT DOOR TO CASH THEIR PAYCHECKS TILL 7:00 IN THE EVENING. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE. BUT ALL I WANT TO SAY THIS EVENING IS THINK ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF THIS COMMUNITY. WE STROVE TO BRING INCORPORATION HERE FOR A REASON, TO CHANGE OUR LIFESTYLE, TO BRING THOSE BASIC AMENITIES THAT MANY TAKE FOR GRANTED EVERY DAY. I MEAN, IF WE NEED A DOCTOR, YES, THANK GOD WE HAVE FLORIDA COMMUNITY HEALTH, BUT IF WE HAVE TO, IF OUR PARENTS REQUIRE WEEKLY BLOOD TESTS, THEY'VE GOT TO RUN TO STUART. YOU KNOW, SOMEONE IN THEIR 80S HAS NO BUSINESS BEING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I HATE TO SAY THAT BECAUSE I'M TALKING ABOUT MY MOTHER. SHE'S 87 AND REFUSES TO GIVE UP DRIVING. NOT THAT I'M, YOU KNOW, JUST SCARES ME. BUT ANYWAY, WE ALL KNOW THAT FPNL IS VERY CONSCIENTIOUS.

YOU KNOW, THAT THEY HAVE SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE JUST TO ANALYZE THE PROSPECT OF EXPANDING THEIR WORKLOAD. AND I WILL SAY ONE OTHER THING. I HAVE A SOLAR FARM IN MY BACKYARD AND IT HAS NOT BROUGHT ME ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER. THE WILDLIFE IS ABUNDANT. IT'S THE LEAST DISTURBED PROPERTIES THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE GOT A CHANCE TO GO TO BARLEY BARBER SWAMP OR GO OUT TO LAKE AND FISH WHEN FPL WAS ALLOWED TO DO THAT BEFORE NINE OVER 11, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN A GOOD PARTNER. THEY'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY. THEY SUPPORT EVERY NONPROFIT IN THIS TOWN. WE WOULD NOT HAVE YMCA, WOULD NOT HAVE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. THE CHAMBER WOULD BE LACKING SUPPORT. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT ON FIREWORKS.

FREE KIDS FISHING TOURNAMENT, THE CHRISTMAS PARADE OR ANYTHING ELSE. SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN OF LANDOWNER. I'M A LANDOWNER. I WAS WORRIED WHEN FPL BROUGHT THE PROSPECT UP, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT, I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE SOLAR FIELD THAN THREE STORY CONDOMINIUMS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MISS PEARSON. PRITCHARD.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. PARDON ME. IT'S MY FIRST TIME EVER SPEAKING. BUT AS A YOUNG PERSON OF INDIAN TOWN, I FELT COMPELLED TO SPEAK. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN IN INDIAN TOWN FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW. AS A YOUNG PERSON, I WANT TO CONTINUE AND SUSTAIN THAT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE WAY THIS IS GOING, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SUSTAINABLE.

YOU GUYS, ARE WE INCORPORATED FOR A REASON? WE WANTED FREEDOM FOR OUR VILLAGERS AND BY IN MY OPINION, THIS LOOKS LIKE A SNEAKY WAY TO SELL OUT IN A WAY TO BIG CORPORATIONS. AND THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S DOUBLING THE SIZE OF THE VILLAGE. AND WITH THAT ZONING DESIGNATION, THAT COULD BE VERY DAMAGING TO THE FEEL THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY THAT INDIAN TOWN IS. SO ALSO, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE VILLAGE DOES HAVE ECONOMIC CONCERNS AND NEEDS, AND I FEEL THERE'S OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN MAYBE GET CREATIVE IN GETTING THAT FUNDING. THERE'S MANY YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PURSUE A RURAL LIFESTYLE. MAYBE IF WE CHANGE SOME ZONING TO HAVE MORE RANCHETTE TYPE PROPERTIES THAN THAT'S LACKING IN THE STATE, PEOPLE WOULD COME AND HAVE THAT FREEDOM THAT WE SAY THAT INDIAN TOWN HAS. IN ADDITION TO THE PRESENTATION, IT DID HIGHLIGHT THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS, BUT WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS? I DID NOT HEAR ANY OF THE STAFF SAY WHAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS ARE OF THIS PROJECT. ONCE WE LOSE AGRICULTURAL LAND, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE RETURNED. ONCE IT'S CEMENT, IT'S NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO DIRT IN, YOU KNOW, REAP THE SOIL THAT WE ALL DEPEND ON. SO I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO SLOW DOWN, BE MORE CAUTIOUS OF THE LONG TERM EFFECTS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY OTHER AREAS LOCALLY. THINK OF THE BEE LINE INDUSTRIAL CENTER WHERE THERE'S WAREHOUSES OVER THERE. DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ONE? ONLY, WHAT, 15, 20 MILES AWAY? JUST MAYBE WE CAN THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE AND KEEP THE SOLAR FIELDS IN THE AG LAND, BECAUSE ONCE IT'S LOST, IT'S GONE FOREVER.

SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'M SORRY, I SAID. SO. ENTERTAIN COMMENTS FROM STAFF IF I COULD. OH, FROM STAFF. I'M SORRY. I MEAN, NOT

[00:40:06]

FROM STAFF. FROM WITHIN OUR BODY. I APOLOGIZE IF I JUMPED THE GUN EARLIER, BUT WHAT I, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THAT THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN WOULDN'T BE THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN WITHOUT FPL SUPPORT AND THEIR TAX BASE, FPL HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO INCORPORATE AND MAKES ALL OF WHAT WE DO AS FAR AS BRINGING IN THE NEW UTILITIES, THE WATER, THE WATER, THE SEWER, ALL THESE THINGS ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR BIGGEST TAXPAYER. AND WITH THAT SAID, I'M OVERJOYED THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN TO ANNEX INTO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, UNDERSTANDING THEY DON'T HAVE TO ANNEX INTO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, GUYS. SO THEY'RE BRINGING THE TAX BASE INTO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. NOW, A LOT OF CONCERNS I'VE HEARD WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANNEXING PROPERTY IN UNDER A PARTICULAR ZONING. THE DEVELOPMENT OR WHATEVER PROJECT THEY DO BRING FORWARD WILL GO THROUGH A WHOLE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS. AND ALL THE THINGS THE CONCERNS I'VE HEARD WILL BE ADDRESSED AT THOSE TIMES. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANNEXATION AND BRINGING IN THAT PROPERTY UNDER A PARTICULAR ZONING. SO WITH THAT SAID, A LOT OF THE CONCERNS, LIKE I SAY, I'LL SAY ONCE AGAIN, WILL BE ADDRESSED LATER WHEN THEY COME IN WITH A SPECIFIC PROJECT TO BE PUT ON THAT PROPERTY. AND I'LL YIELD.

THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU. I'M KIND OF OFF TOPIC. MR. WEATHERS WAS YOUR FATHER, BILL WEATHERS, I KNOW YOUR DAD KNEW YOUR DAD. I KNEW YOUR DAD THROUGH MY GRANDFATHER. THEY WERE GREAT FRIENDS. SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE AND EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY HAS SAID. I AGREE WITH YOU. I AGREE WITH YOU. I VOTED NO FOR INCORPORATION. OKAY? BUT THAT'S THE REASON THAT I SAT ON THE COUNCIL WAS BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THE I'VE HEARD THE SENTIMENT OF WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER. WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD. OKAY. AND AND DOUBLING THE SIZE OF INDIAN TOWN, THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED WITH SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL THAT'S GOING IN. HOWEVER, WE NEEDED THAT RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HOPE OF COMING BACK. SO THERE'S THERE'S A BALANCE. THERE'S A BALANCE. CHANGE IS HARD. YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS STATED, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT AGAINST CHANGE. IT'S HARD. AND I KNOW STAFF BLESS THEIR HEARTS THEY HAVE THEY HAD TO LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE INDIAN TOWN HAS NO AGRICULTURE AND ALL THAT LAND OUT THERE. I WORKED FOR CALKINS. I WORKED FOR OLD EL ALMA AND TALQUIN THAT WAS OUT THERE ON WEST FARM ROAD FOR YEARS IN CITRUS. I HATE TO SEE IT DO ANYTHING ELSE, BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. AND I HAVE TO SAY, AND I HAVE TO GIVE KUDOS AND THANK FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT AND FOR WHAT THEY DO IN THE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR PROJECTS. AND I HAVE TO THANK STAFF BECAUSE THAT THAT MILES OF RESEARCH THAT THEY DO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY ASKED, OKAY, WE'RE TALKING DATA CENTERS. THAT WAS MY FIRST THING. YOU LOOKING LONG TERM AND OUR NATION IS GOING TO AND THEY'RE HAPPENING OKEECHOBEE DIFFERENT AREAS. THOSE DATA CENTERS THAT USE A LOT OF POWER USE A LOT OF WATER. SO I'VE ALREADY BEEN TALKING OKAY. IF WE DO IF THAT'S ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL THAT'S GOING TO GO THAT WAY, THEN WHAT ABOUT THIS. WHAT ABOUT THAT. WHAT ABOUT WATER? BECAUSE I ASKED THE SAME AQUIFER THING. SO THOSE QUESTIONS ARE BEING ASKED AND IT WAS SAID. IT WAS SAID ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE RESPONSE, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE AND DOING PROTECTIONS. AND IF YOU LISTEN TO STAFF'S PRESENTATION ON ALL THE STEPS THAT THEY WENT THROUGH IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE BOXES WERE TICKED, THAT THEY LOOKED BECAUSE THEY LOOK OUT FOR THEY REALLY DO. THE PEOPLE AND THE RESIDENTS OF INDIANTOWN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I MIGHT DISLIKE IT, I MIGHT NOT LIKE TO SEE THOSE AGRICULTURAL LANDS GO AWAY, BECAUSE THAT'S MY HERITAGE TOO. OKAY. BUT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE A GOOD BALANCE AND AND A GOOD USE FOR AS WE MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE AND YEAH, ONCE YOU ONCE YOU USE THOSE AG LANDS.

BUT HOWEVER THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THOSE AG LANDS. IT'S NOT PROFITABLE FOR THEM. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITRUS THAT USED TO BE CITRUS, THEY USED TO BE ABLE TO TO SURVIVE AND LIVE OFF OF THAT. THEY CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. CATTLE IF YOU HAVE THIS AND YES, THAT WOULD BE PREFERABLE. BUT THOSE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT AS LANDOWNERS TO PURSUE THE USE OF THAT LAND IN

[00:45:04]

A PROFITABLE WAY. THAT'S THAT'S GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. HOPEFULLY YOU GET A GOOD A GOOD NEIGHBOR WHEN SOMEBODY'S DOING THAT. AND I THINK FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT HAS PROVEN THAT THEY'RE A WONDERFUL NEIGHBOR IN DOING IT. SOMETIMES YOU GET SOME THAT THAT AREN'T REAL GOOD NEIGHBORS AND THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP AND MOVE FORWARD AND, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF TRY TO RAM IT DOWN A COMMUNITY'S THROAT. AND I THINK WITH FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT, THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT THEY ARE GOOD NEIGHBORS. AND THEY THEY DO LISTEN. SO IT IS A TOUGH THING. CHANGE IS HARD. IT REALLY IS. AND I QUESTION LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE FUTURE. AND IT MEANS AND TALKING ABOUT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT A PUD.

AND I ALREADY TOLD PUD. OH YOU SAY PUD PEOPLE ARE THINKING, OH, THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE PUD. I MEAN, AUTOMATICALLY THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. IF YOU LISTEN TO AND TO MISS FREEMAN'S EXPLANATION OF WHAT A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IS, HOW IT GIVES GREATER AVAILABILITY TO GET FINER DETAIL AND REVIEW AND REQUIREMENTS, YOU KNOW, IT GIVES A BETTER CONTROL OF INSTEAD OF JUST LETTING IT BE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND IT AND IT IT IS MORE OF A AM I GETTING THAT RIGHT? I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M TELLING THE TRUTH HERE. DINA FREEMAN. IT'S ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS AND CRITERIA REGARDING DESIGN, ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. IF YOU'RE NOT A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, THE STRAIGHT ZONING IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. AND THERE'S A CODE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS PROVIDE A CODE. THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING, AND IT'S AN OPTION TO THE APPLICANT. IT DOES PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A MASTER PLAN, PHASING PLAN AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS, WHICH COULD ADDRESS A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED TODAY. AND YOU WON'T GET TO THAT POINT UNTIL YOU'VE SUBMITTED AND PREPARED ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND STATEMENTS. YOU. THERE ARE SPECIFIC INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ALREADY IN THE CODE THERE TO PROTECT THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND THE OVERALL VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, THEY CALLED THE INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. THEY WOULD GO INTO THE PUD ZONING AGREEMENT, AS WOULD ANY ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, AS WERE CONSIDERED REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE AS PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING WITH STAFF. SO ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES WOULD REVIEW. YOU WOULD ALSO HAVE THIRD PARTY REVIEWS BY SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, THE ARMY CORPS, THE DOT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT. THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, BUT THAT'S AT THE PUD STAGE AND NOT AT THE ANNEXATION AND THE REQUEST FOR A LARGE SCALE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, WHICH IS WHY STAFF HAS NOT GONE INTO THAT DETAIL, BECAUSE AT THIS STAGE, IT'S A MUCH MORE OF AN OVERVIEW KIND OF POLICY DECISION THAN IT IS A SITE DETAILED SITE PLAN, REVIEW AND ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS JUST TO MAKE THAT DISTINGUISHMENT. SO THIS IS THIS IS A FIRST STEP BECAUSE ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS TO BE HAPPENING AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS CONCERNED THAT'S THAT WILL BE COMING BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS IT. AND IT'S WILLY NILLY AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER THEY'RE GOING TO DO. IT'S, IT'S. IT'S ENCOURAGING TO ME TO KNOW THE STAFF THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE VILLAGE, BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO CARE. YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN INDIAN TOWN THAT HAVE GROWN UP IN INDIAN TOWN, THAT WORK IN THAT DEPARTMENT, AND THEY REALLY CARE. I KNOW THAT MISSUS FREEMAN AND WHAT SHE DOES IN THAT WHOLE DEPARTMENT, THEY, THEY, THEY HAVE REJECTED THINGS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS A GOOD FIT IN THE COMMUNITY.

THINGS THAT WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT, WE DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO DRAW THAT CURTAIN BACK IN ORDER TO, TO SEE THOSE THINGS. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT GOES ON THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE SPARED. WE ARE SPARED BECAUSE THEY'VE, YOU KNOW, NIPPED IT IN THE BUD BEFORE IT'S EVER GOTTEN TO SOMEBODY WITH A SIGN WALKING AROUND OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, SAYING, STOP THE MADNESS OR WHATEVER. SO I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN WHAT THE STAFF HAS, HAS PRESENTED TO US THIS EVENING, WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT, THE LANDOWNER HAS A RIGHT TO REQUEST, AND IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE BOXES HAVE BEEN TICKED. SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY. WHEN YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A THING. I'M SORRY, I. WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS AS WELL. OKAY. THAT'S

[00:50:04]

ALL. IN CASE YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT OKAY. SORRY. JUST A MINUTE. I WANT TO. SORRY.

YEAH, SURE. RICHARD. HI. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. MY PUBLIC COMMENT TO ECHO OFF WHAT MY WIFE WAS SAYING WAS ONLY IT'S NOT THAT. IT'S ABOUT THE PROGRESS. IT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL BEING ANNEXED IN ONE SHOT. IT'D BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT IF FPL PROPOSED A DATA PLANT THAT WAS MAYBE 5 OR 600 ACRES. THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD THIS AND THEN THAT'S IT.

IT'S TAKING AN ENTIRE PARCEL AND THEN THE ADJACENT PARCELS NEXT TO THEM. WHAT'S GOING TO STOP THAT IN A YEAR OR TWO? WHICH THAT'S ALL I WAS SAYING TO ECHO OFF. MY WIFE SAID, OKAY.

GO AHEAD, CAN I. SORRY. AND JUST FROM SAY I'M NOT IN THAT POSITION AND I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT BY DOING BECAUSE THEY IF YOU NOTICED IN THAT THING THAT THAT THAT MAP, THEY OWNED THE LAND OVER HERE, THEY OWNED THE LAND OVER THERE. BUT THE THING OF IT IS, IS DOING IT THIS WAY. THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK. BUT IF THEY DO A PUD, THEY CAN DO THOSE ONE AT A TIME PHASE IN. AND IT'S MORE OF A CONTROLLED ISSUE, YOU KNOW. AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE ONE, YOU SAY ONE HUGE THING BY DOING A PUD AND DOING THOSE DIFFERENT PHASES. YOU HAVE THAT CONTROL AND YOU'RE GETTING MORE OF A OF A CONTROL OUT OF IT. JUST MY YOU CAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO THE GENTLEMAN ABOUT THAT AFTERWARDS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT. I'M. ANYONE ELSE. DENA FREEMAN I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD HAVE GOT ANY COMMENTS, BUT THE APPLICANT AGENT WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED. YES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MY QUESTIONS. GOOD EVENING. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS BOB RAINS. I'M A LAND USE ATTORNEY WITH THE GUNSTER LAW FIRM, AND I'VE BEEN DOING LAND USE FOR 30 YEARS HERE IN MARTIN COUNTY AND MARTIN COUNTY RESIDENT. AND THE FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS I WANT TO COMMEND THE NEIGHBORS WHO CAME OUT. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT. AND AGAIN, I'VE AND IT CAN GET VERY HOSTILE. IT CAN GET VERY UNCIVIL. AND I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFUL COMMENTS AND THE DECENCY AND THE WAY THAT IT WAS PRESENTED. I THINK IT'S VERY REFRESHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES. FPL IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTANDS THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS. WE CERTAINLY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO TRY TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. THE PROCESS, AND I THINK YOU ALL HAVE TOUCHED ON IT AND HANDLED IT VERY WELL. THERE WILL BE A TIME AND A PLACE TO GET THOSE THINGS ADDRESSED AND THOSE CONCERNS ADDRESSED, AND THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE DEBATE ABOUT IT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING I KNOW THEY TALKED ABOUT GROUNDWATER STUDIES AND NOISE STUDIES. THIS ISN'T THE APPROPRIATE PROCESS FOR THAT. IT'S THE CRITERIA THAT WE HAVE FOR THE ANNEXATION AND ALSO THE CRITERIA FOR THE FUMA. BUT WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS, WE HEAR THOSE. AND WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT IN THE PROCESS, WE'LL CERTAINLY BE DISCUSSING THOSE IN GREAT DETAIL. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT. SO AGAIN, WE APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS. WE APPRECIATE THE CIVILITY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING. THE ARGUMENT, I BELIEVE, ISN'T WHETHER OR NOT FPL IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE BENEFICIAL FOR THE COMMUNITY. THEY'VE SHOWN THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AND I BELIEVE THAT IN REGARDS TO THE COMMUNITY ADDRESSING THEIR CONCERNS IN REGARDS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, I STAND IN AGREEANCE WITH YOU BECAUSE I'VE SAT ON THIS BOARD FOR FIVE PLUS YEARS. I KNOW THE PROCESS AND LIKE HOW IT TRANSPIRES OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. AND I KNOW THAT AFTER THE ANNEXATION PROCESS, THE NEXT, WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR COMING PROCESSES, THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE AND ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT YOU'VE SPOKEN ON TODAY. SO HEARING MY FELLOW BOARD, FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, I STAND IN AGREEANCE WITH THEM AS WELL IN REGARDS TO SUPPORTING THE ANNEXATION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S BEING SPOKEN ON TODAY. AND IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER, I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

YEAH, I WOULD MOVE FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION. I SECOND ROLL CALL. KAREN MILEY. YES. BOARD MEMBER. WATSON. YES. BORN IN THE WOODS. YES. BOARD MEMBER.

NEXT REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. ORDINANCE NUMBER ZERO TWO DASH 2026 STAFF. HELLO. DEENA FREEMAN WITH THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. FOR THE RECORD, I'M GOING TO GO BACK OVER TO THE PODIUM AND PRESENT, AND THIS IS FOR THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. I'M JUST PULLING MY STAFF REPORT, SO JUST BEAR WITH ME A MOMENT. SO, DEENA FREEMAN AND THE ANNEXATION, WITH THE RECOMMENDATION MOVING FORWARD. CONCURRENT WITH THAT, THE SEPARATE APPLICATION FOR A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, AS WAS EXPLAINED, THIS IS CPA 25 002 AND IT IS REQUIRED CONCURRENT WITH OR TO FOLLOW AFTER THE ANNEXATION.

BECAUSE THE LAND USE MAP CANNOT REMAIN WITHIN THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS OF MARTIN COUNTY, IT HAS TO BE CHANGED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. SO WE'VE GOT THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND A LOT OF THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME DUPLICATION BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME SITE WITH A DIFFERENT PART OF THE APPLICATION REQUEST. SO FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE 5,722.30 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF SOUTHWEST KANAWHA HIGHWAY AND WEST OF SOUTHWEST WARFIELD BOULEVARD, AND IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND WE'VE ALREADY SHOWN THE LOCATION, BUT FOR THE RECORD, THERE'S THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED SUBJECT PROPERTY WITH THE 18 PARCELS, INDIVIDUAL PARCELS, ALL OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT DEPICTED IN BLUE IN RELATION TO THE EXISTING VILLAGE BOUNDARY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS THE MAP THAT WAS PROVIDED WITH THE NOTATION OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS WHEN STAFF DO THEIR ANALYSIS, INCLUDING PLANNING, BUT ALSO DEVELOPMENT REVIEW IN RELATION TO THE EXISTING LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS. WE LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE WITHIN INDIAN TOWN AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO. SO WE CALLED OUT AND IDENTIFIED THE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL TO THE NORTH, WHICH INCLUDES THE FORMER COGEN SITE. AND THERE'S ALSO THE THE FORMER JUICE PLANT IS OUT THERE FURTHER NORTH AS WELL. VENTURE PARK, TOWN COMMERCE. WE'VE ALSO GOT THE INDIAN TOWN TECHNOLOGY AND COMMERCE PARK, WHICH IS A PERMIT READY PROPERTY THAT'S APPROVED FOR INDUSTRIAL AND A MULTITUDE OF OTHER LIGHT AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THERE'S THE PROPERTY LOCATION THAT'S TAKEN FROM THE BOUNDARY SURVEY, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS AND THE PARCEL CONTROL NUMBERS AND THE WARRANTY DEEDS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO PROVE OWNERSHIP.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY DEPICTED IN RED FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS WITH THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION. IF IT MOVES FORWARD AND WITH THE VILLAGE COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION, THAT WOULD BE THE THE EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING BOUNDARY OF INDIAN VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN TO INCLUDE THIS THIS LAND OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THERE'S THE EXISTING LAND USE. AND THIS IS WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY ON FROM A STAFF POINT OF VIEW TO PRESENT MARTIN COUNTY LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS THAT ARE THERE WITH THE POWER PLANT, THE CONSERVATION AND THE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. SO IF THEY ARE IN A SUCCESSFUL THE ANNEXATION, THEY DO NEED TO REQUEST A LAND USE AMENDMENT. THE LAND USE AMENDMENT THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST THAT ZOOMED IN VERSION, PART OF THE MARTIN COUNTY EXISTING LAND USE MAP, JUST TO SHOW THE AREAS IN GREEN. I THINK IT'S LIGHT PURPLE AND DARKER GREEN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS A PROPOSED LAND USE. THIS IS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE. AND WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THERE IS DIFFERENT LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IS ONE OF THOSE DESIGNATIONS. IT DOES CALL OUT SOME MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM THRESHOLDS IN TERMS OF OVERALL POLICY, WHAT WE CALL UMBRELLA PLANNING WITHIN THE VILLAGE AND WITHIN THE COUNTY AND WITHIN THE STATE. SO BASICALLY THERE'S A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION WITH LANGUAGE IN THE COMP PLAN. AND THEN WITHIN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, THERE WILL BE THE ZONING WOULD BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'RE JUST SHOWING YOU THE HIERARCHY OF THE ACTUAL LIKE THE PROCEDURES AND THE ANNEXATION, THE LAND USE AND THEN THE ZONING DISTRICT DESIGNATIONS. SO IT'S ALL THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE

[01:00:03]

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE AHEAD OF ANY REZONING. AND THERE'S THE EXISTING ZONING WHERE WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, IT WOULD BE NO COLOR RIGHT NOW IF IT DIDN'T GET A LAND USE AND ZONING CHANGE. AND THAT THAT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT. WE HAVE TO BY STATE STATUTE, THE APPLICANT HAS TO PROVIDE A PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION AND THEN A SUBSEQUENT REZONING AS WELL. IT CANNOT REMAIN JUST, YOU KNOW, BLANK AND NO, NO COLORS ON THE MAPS. SO THERE'S THE EXISTING ZONING. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THERE'S THE EXISTING MARTIN COUNTY ZONING WHICH IS A2, WHICH WOULD GO AWAY AND BE REPLACED EITHER BY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING AGREEMENT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS THE PROCEDURES THAT ARE NOT DISSIMILAR TO THE ANNEXATION, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT WE DID DO THE INTAKE AND COMPLETENESS AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO DO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE STATUTES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VILLAGE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, WAS PROVIDED AND DEEMED COMPLETE. IT WAS REVIEWED BY THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES AND THEN SCHEDULED FOR STAFF REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS PROVIDED IN THE AGENDA AND THEN SCHEDULED AS PER THE PUBLIC NOTICING REQUIREMENTS IN THE CODE AND IN STATE STATUTES. THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT IS, AND THIS IS WHERE IT MAY BE OF INTEREST FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT HAVE MADE COMMENTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER CONCERNS AROUND TRAFFIC AND OTHER ISSUES. IT IS ACTUALLY TAKEN OUT FOR CONSULTATION WITH A 30 DAY CONSULTATION PROCESS. IT'S REQUIRED BY THE STATE STATUTES. IT DOES INCLUDE DEPARTMENT, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT. IT WILL INCLUDE THE DEPARTMENT, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND OTHER ENTITIES. AND THEY ARE THEY ALL GET NOTICE. AND IT ALSO INCLUDES MARTIN COUNTY AS WELL AS THE EXISTING MUNICIPALITY. AND THEY ARE ALL NOTICED AND REQUESTED TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL COMMENT BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED AND THEIR EXPERTISE, AND THAT IS THEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, REVIEWED BY STAFF. AND IF THERE'S ANY FOLLOW UP REQUIREMENTS, THEN THEY WILL BE COMMUNICATING THAT AND THE APPLICANT WILL AND STAFF SEPARATELY AND THEN COLLECTIVELY WOULD HAVE TO RESPOND TO THAT INFORMATION AND IT WILL NOT COME FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. NUMBER TWO, UNTIL A TIME PERIOD WHERE WE RECEIVED ALL OF THAT CONSULTATION. AND THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SEPARATE AND SECOND PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE VILLAGE COUNCIL PACKET FOR THEM TO CONSIDER NOT ONLY STAFF RECOMMENDATION, NOT ONLY THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION AND REQUEST, BUT ALSO THOSE THIRD PARTIES. SO THAT'S THE VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE ANNEXATION AND THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, AND THE PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER TWO, IF THEY GET TO THAT POINT, THEN ADOPTION OF AND THEN TRANSMITTAL BACK TO THE STATE OF THE ANY ANY APPROVAL OF THAT.

SO THIS IS THE SUMMARY OF THE APPROVAL CRITERIA. THERE WAS A VERY DETAILED STAFF REPORT THAT WAS PROVIDED, YOU KNOW, 30 PAGES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT INCLUDED ALL THE CRITERIA. IT WAS ALSO LOOKING TO BE CONSISTENT WITH MARTIN COUNTY'S REVIEW PROCESS FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS. WE HAVE OUR OWN PROCESS, BUT I WANTED IT TO BE NOT DISSIMILAR TO WITH THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED. SO THE PRESENTATION IS A SUMMARY OF THAT, RATHER THAN GOING INTO EVERY DIFFERENT POLICY AND CRITERIA. IT WAS PART OF THE AGENDA PACKET. SO EVERYBODY'S HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ AND HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.

AND SO STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE CRITERIA IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SECTION 12 FOR COMPREHENSIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AND MAP AMENDMENTS AND SUBSECTION FOUR PROCEDURES AND FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 163.3184 AS A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

AND THAT WAS ALL INCLUDED IN THE REPORT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND VILLAGE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NUMBER CPA. THAT'S 25 002 FOR THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP FROM. I'M SORRY IT SEEMS TO HAVE LEFT, BUT IT'S FROM THE EXISTING MARTIN COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AND CONSERVATION AND THE POWER MAJOR POWER PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS TO THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH ONE OF THE OPTIONS WITHIN THE COMP PLAN. AND THAT'S THE END OF STAFF PRESENTATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO DO AN ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION, AS PLANNERS, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT DISSIMILAR BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE THE SAME TOOLBOX. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME CODES, THE SAME PROCEDURES TO WORK THROUGH. AND THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES, BECAUSE WE WE BASICALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SAME STATE STATUTES AND COMP PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION POLICIES. SO OVER TO YOU, BRIAN AND JAMIE. NO PRESSURE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'D LIKE TO THANK STAFF AGAIN FOR GOING THROUGH THE SHOCKINGLY EXHILARATING

[01:05:01]

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PACKAGE THAT WE HAD TO PUT TOGETHER. AND DINA HAD TO REVIEW. AGAIN, DINA'S PRESENTATION CLOSELY MIRRORS MINE. THE I WOULD JUST ADD THAT THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE FUTURE LAND USE. WE ONLY HAVE YOUR LAND USES TO CHOOSE FROM, SO TO SPEAK. COINCIDENTALLY, AGRICULTURE IS NOT A LAND USE IN THE VILLAGE. SO AS YOU KNOW, OUR ADJACENCIES AND AND POTENTIAL FUTURE USES, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WAS WAS THE MOST APPROPRIATE. AND I'LL YIELD THE REST OF MY TIME TO PUBLIC COMMENT OR. YEAH, I'LL RESERVE. OH, AND I'LL RESERVE SOME TIME AT THE END TO MAKE ANY LAST QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS RESPONSES. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD SESSION. PUBLIC. I THINK WE HAVE OKAY. ANY DISCUSSION AMONGST THE BOARD? NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I WOULD MOVE THAT WE MOVE FOR STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE MAJOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONING. I'LL SECOND ROLL CALL. AND JUST TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD, IT'S JUST THE LARGE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, THE LARGE. OKAY, JUST THE LARGE COMPONENT, THE LARGE COMPONENT, CORRECT? YES, YES. REMEMBER WILLIAMS. YES. BOARD MEMBER GIVES PROMISE.

YES. BOARD MEMBER. THOMPSON. YES. BOARD MEMBER. WILLIAMS. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

SP-25-016 FOR THE MAJOR SITE PLAN FOR AN APPROXIMATELY 10.87-ACRE +/- RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPRISING 71 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS, LOCATED ON TWO PARCELS AT 16986 SW CHARLESTON STREET AND 16991 SW FARM ROAD, INDIANTOWN; AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CONDITIONS, REMEDIES, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.]

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. NEXT AGENDA ITEM. APPLICATION SP 20 5-016. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND KICK IT OFF. FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE HERE, WE'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING GEARS A LITTLE BIT. WE HAVE NO MORE MATTERS CONCERNING THE FPL ANNEXATION. WE'RE THE PCA IS MOVING ON TO A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF A APPLICATION NUMBER SP 25016, FOR A MAJOR SITE PLAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 10.87 ACRE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. I'M GOING TO JUST GO BRIEFLY THROUGH THE QUASI JUDICIAL SPEECH THAT YOU MAY RECALL ME DOING FROM TIME TO TIME. SO JUST AS A REMINDER FOR THE PCA AND FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, THIS APPLICATION THAT'S ABOUT TO BE HEARD IS QUASI JUDICIAL IN NATURE. WHAT THAT MEANS IS REQUIRES THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING COMPLY WITH CERTAIN PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN FLORIDA LAW. THEY'RE LESS FORMAL THAN, SAY, BEFORE A CIRCUIT COURT, BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO FOLLOW CERTAIN BASIC STANDARDS AND NOTICE AND DUE PROCESS. THE PCA DECISION HAS TO BE BASED ON COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. AND SO IN ANY CONSIDERATION, EITHER FROM THE APPLICANT OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, WE WOULD ASK TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WILL KNOW FROM THE LAST HEARINGS THAT WERE BEFORE YOU. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK, PLEASE PROVIDE A COMMENT CARD TO THE CLERK. AND AT THIS TIME I WOULD ACTUALLY ASK IF THERE IS ANYONE HERE, INCLUDING STAFF, BUT ALSO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC OR THE APPLICANT WHO WISH TO OFFER TESTIMONY CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, IF THERE WERE ANY, WHAT WE CALL EX PARTE COMMUNICATION, HEARING FROM FOLKS OUTSIDE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND SO ON, THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE. IT'S JUST THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DISCLOSED ON THE RECORD SO FOLKS KNOW THE TYPES OF THINGS THEY'VE HEARD AND SO ON. SO THAT'S EVERYTHING I HAVE, MADAM CHAIR, AT THIS TIME. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO STAFF FOR THE PRESENTATION. YES. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. DINA FREEMAN WITH THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND ALSO THE PLANNER FOR THE REVIEW. THIS IS A MAJOR SITE PLAN FOR HERITAGE PARK, A MAJOR SITE PLAN, BECAUSE ANYTHING OVER 50 UNITS THAT'S PROPOSED WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN HAS A THRESHOLD WHEREBY IT IS NOT A MINOR, IT IS A MAJOR SITE PLAN. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE START OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOLLOWING STAFF REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS AS THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES. SO WE'VE GOT THE MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO INDIAN TOWN NONPROFIT IS THE INCORPORATED IS THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER.

AND WE HAVE A FUTURE PROPERTY A PERSON ENTITY THAT'S LOOKING TO BUY THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL. SO IN TERMS OF DEEDS AND OWNERSHIP, IT IS INDIAN TOWN NONPROFIT HOUSING INCORPORATED. THEY'RE SEEKING A RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD FOR THE HERITAGE PARK MAJOR SITE PLAN. PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION 12 OF THE 12 EIGHT MAJOR SITE PLAN OF THE INDIAN TOWN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, THIS IS APPLICATION NUMBER SP 25 016 AND IT'S THE HERITAGE PARK MAJOR SITE PLAN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE'S THE PROPERTY LOCATION. THIS IS THE SITE DEPICTED IN RED AS PROVIDED IN RELATION TO SOUTH CHARLESTON STREET. ALSO, DOCTOR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DRIVE. WE'VE ALSO GOT FARM ROAD TO THE FURTHEST SOUTH. WE SHOULD HAVE A ZOOMED IN MAP ON THE NEXT SLIDE, WHICH WILL HELP. THAT'S JUST TO GIVE YOU THE SITE LOCATION IN RELATION TO THE OVERALL AREA. AND THEY'RE THE AREAS DEPICTED IN BLUE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IN RELATION TO THE RED AREA IS THE SUM OF THE EXTENT OF THE EDGE OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN BOUNDARY.

MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY. SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS SOUTHWEST FARM ROAD. YOU'VE GOT SOUTHWEST CHARLESTON STREET TO THE NORTH, AND RUNNING THROUGH THE PROPERTY IS SOUTHWEST.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DRIVE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THERE'S THE VACANT SUBJECT PROPERTY, SOME HISTORY AND CONTEXT. THIS HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN UTILIZED BACK IN THE DAY AS A TEMPORARY SITE FOR ACCOMMODATING FEMA. AS A RESULT OF THE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE CREATED BY HURRICANES. SO FOR SOME TIME, THIS WAS ACTUALLY USED AS A TEMPORARY SITE. AND THIS WAS DONE WHILE IT WAS WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY. AND BASICALLY THERE WAS SOME DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE OF TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION, HOUSING, ACCOMMODATION UNITS TO ACCOMMODATE DISPLACED PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED DURING JUST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HURRICANES. SO WHAT THAT SHOWS YOU IS THE VACANT LAND AND THAT IT'S CLEARED SUBSTANTIALLY CLEARED BECAUSE IT WAS ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, A DEVELOPED PROPERTY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS SHOWING THE LAND USE. WE TALKED ABOUT LAND USE AND THE LAST APPLICATION THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS URBAN RESIDENTIAL OFFICE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

AND WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THERE IS SOME LANGUAGE THAT PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE VISION AND THE INTENT OF THAT LAND USE. ONE OF THE KEY IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF THAT IS THAT IT DOES ESTABLISH MAXIMUM DENSITY OF UP TO 15 UNITS PER ACRE IN THE ACTUAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR ANY PROPERTY THAT'S GOT A LAND USE OF URBAN RESIDENTIAL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND WHAT THIS IS IS THE ZONING MAP. AND THIS IS THE EXISTING ZONING. IT'S A STRAIGHT ZONING. IT'S NOT A PLANNED UNIT. DEVELOPMENT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT. SO WITHIN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN, THERE ARE THEN A SET OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND PERMITTED USES THAT ARE GOVERNED BY WHAT IS THE ZONING. SO FROM A STAFF POINT OF VIEW, THE REVIEW IS THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT. SO WHAT ARE THE PERMITTED USES? WHAT ARE THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND HOW SHOULD THIS SITE BE SUBMITTED IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND GET TO A POINT WHERE IT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY AND CONSISTENT AND DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND PERMITTED USES AND ANY OTHER DESIGN CRITERIA THAT'S APPLICABLE TO A PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT? SO WHAT WE'VE GOT THERE IS WE'VE GOT THE AREA DEPICTED AS NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE. THERE IS A WE'LL SHOW YOU A MAP LATER THAT SHOWS THE WIDER AREA OF NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE WITHIN THE BOOKER PARK AREA. SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE AND IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE
