Agenda Item 9 C – 

 

Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 5-2022 - Indian River City United Methodist Church (IRCUMC) Challenge Course - City Manager Larese highlighted the request provided in the Council agenda packet. The request was to conduct the public hearing for CUP Application No. 5-2022 to allow an outdoor challenge course as an outdoor recreation use in the Community Commercial (CC) zoning district. The property was located at the Indian River City United Methodist Church, 1355 Cheney Highway. This was a quasi-judicial item.

 

The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval at their meeting on September 21, 2022.

 

Community Development Director Brad Parrish reviewed information from the staff report provided in the Council agenda packet. 

 

Member Stoeckel and staff discussed her questions on the City’s Code requirements, the applicant’s request, the property’s zoning designation, the staff report addressed most of her concerns, and whether or not outdoor lighting would be a nuisance if requested in the future. 

 

Vice-Mayor Jordan and staff discussed his questions on the requirements to have lighting installed for use of the challenge course after dark (evening hours), if the applicant pursued this request in the future. He and staff also discussed the zoning of neighboring properties. 

 

Member Stoeckel and staff discussed her questions on whether it was possible to spare the applicant paying additional review fees, if the applicant desired installing (outdoor) lighting at the proposed challenge course in the future. Discussion ensued that a condition might be imposed that allowed for some amount of lighting up to a certain lumen (measurement of light), but beyond any additional brightness, the applicant would need to return to have their request for lighting considered.  

 

Member Robinson liked the suggested lighting restriction.

 

Vice-Mayor Jordan and staff discussed how some businesses were required to have down-lighting. He also wanted to spare the applicant to some degree of having to return to the City on the matter of installing lighting. 

 

Mayor Diesel opened the public hearing.

 

Steve Baggett (a challenge course builder or operator) reviewed information on the purpose of the proposed challenge course, including team building and conflict resolution exercises, etc. He also reviewed his customer affiliations in the central Florida community, some including Lead Brevard, college(s), local police departments and programs that sought to engage and interact with youth, etc. Mr. Baggett advised that most of the time challenge courses were used from dawn until dusk.

 

Kelley McLester, on behalf of Conditional Use Permit Application No. 5-2022, was available to answer any questions. 

 

Stan Johnston reviewed his involvements with the Indian River City United Methodist Church. Next, he discussed his dislike of Council making (administrative) changes to the meeting agenda and not allowing the public to speak on such changes. Mr. Johnston advised that he supported Conditional Use Permit Application No. 5-2022. 

 

As there was no one else that wished to speak, Mayor Diesel closed the public hearing. 

 

Vice-Mayor Jordan indicated his desire to make a motion to approve the request. City Attorney Broome confirmed that Vice-Mayor Jordan felt the applicant’s request met the City’s Code requirements. 

 

Motion:

Vice-Mayor Jordan moved to approve Conditional Use Permit Application No. 5-2022 to allow an outdoor challenge course as an outdoor recreation use in the Community Commercial (CC) zoning district. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion for discussion. 

 

Council and staff discussion ensued on staff recommendations, whether to impose a condition on lighting (brightness or lumen level and concern for light shining on neighboring properties), if the dawn to dusk requirement was eliminated, the concept of not requiring the applicant to seek Council’s approval, but staff’s administrative approval if the applicant returned with a request for lighting, etc. Vice-Mayor Jordan was interested in the applicant not having to pay additional costs if they came back to request outdoor lighting from the City. 

 

Per City Attorney Broome’s request, Community Development Director Parrish read aloud the Code criteria on lighting requirements (Code Section 30-192. – Site lighting standards).  

 

Vice-Mayor Jordan moved to amend the motion on the floor to include approving Conditional Use Permit Application No. 5-2022 to allow an outdoor challenge course as an outdoor recreation use in the Community Commercial (CC) zoning district, as modified and with the condition that the applicant would propose any plans for lighting to staff for administrative approval.  The proposal must be consistent with the Land Development Regulations, Section 30-192.

Member Robinson                  Yes

Motion:

Agenda Item 9 B –

 

Development Agreement (DA) No. 1-2022 Tranquility (F/K/A Antigua Bay) Third Amendment

City Manager Larese highlighted the request provided in the Council agenda packet. The request was to conduct the public hearing and consider the Third Amendment to the Tranquility (formerly known as or F/K/A Antigua Bay) Development Agreement. The Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, unanimously recommended approval at their meeting on September 21, 2022.

 

Community Development Director Parrish reviewed information from the Council agenda packet. The information included Code criteria (modification table) that staff used to determine if the requested changes were categorized as substantial, which required Council approval, or less substantive that would allow for administrative approval by staff. Community Development Director Parrish further highlighted proposed changes to the development agreement from a strike-through and underline copy in the Council agenda packet. 

 

Vice-Mayor Jordan felt the most important thing was that the developer would maintain the number of homes that would be built. This condition was not indicated to change in the proposed amendment. Going from 5-years to 10-years was also not unreasonable to him. Projects took time to complete. Regarding open space, he commented on his understanding of a request made to install a road at the site. All-in-all, Vice-Mayor Jordan felt the developer’s proposed changes were reasonable. 

 

Mayor Diesel supported Vice-Mayor Jordan’s comments, although he advised that he would like the developer to complete their project sooner than 10-years, but he was also okay with 10-years.  

 

Member Stoeckel and staff discussed her questions on whether rezoning the site’s open space area was necessary, due to a road or roundabout was proposed for installation in a portion of the open space area. The discussion also reviewed Code criteria that required the request to be considered by the Council, due to open space area boundaries were involved, etc. 

 

Member Robinson felt the project had been ongoing for some time and he did not support an extension of more than 5-years. Vice-Mayor Jordan disagreed, due to he felt the project was complex and Code requirements were enforced to guide the project. Vice-Mayor Jordan also felt the Council should not micromanage an important project. 

 

Member Robinson supported oversight. Discussion ensued that the project was still in the view of staff for other parameters or requirements (as a form of oversight). 

 

Member Stoeckel and staff discussed that Florida Statutes allowed development agreements to be pending or extended up through 30-years. 

 

Mayor Diesel opened the public hearing.

 

Rodney Honeycutt, P.E., on behalf of the proposed development agreement, indicated that the project would consist of 2,400 units (no change). He further reviewed items that he and his client, who was unavailable due to the impending hurricane (Hurricane Ian), were concerned with, being the rationale for getting Council’s support for an extension(s) of time for their development agreement, examples of items that required review and time to complete, the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) involvement in the roundabout, etc.  

 

Robin Fisher commented on the significant amount of time required to build infrastructure and phases leading up to the completion of projects. He felt it was a difficult task to build 2,400 units in five years. He referenced his affiliations with a well-established developer in Viera and the number of units an unrelated developer was able to build in one year, which fell short of the total number of units that were projected to complete the entire project. 

 

Stan Johnston felt Rodney Honeycutt did good work. He advised that he did not object to the proposed project. 

 

As there was no one else that wished to speak, Mayor Diesel closed the public hearing. 

 

Vice-Mayor Jordan, Council, and staff discussed Vice-Mayor Jordan’s inquiries on the length of time (years) the developer might be given to complete the project. They also discussed the Planning and Zoning Commission’s (P&Z) recommendation of 10-years. The proposed development agreement (the third amendment thereof), the P&Z’s, and staff’s analysis was based on 10-years. 

 

Motion:

Vice-Mayor Jordan moved to approve Development Agreement (DA) No. 1-2022 and the Third Amendment to the Tranquility (formerly known as Antigua Bay) Development Agreement, as recommended. 

 

Member Stoeckel seconded the motion. She clarified the pending motion of approval was based on what the developer proposed in their submission to the City and staff recommendation(s). The indication was yes. 

 

The roll call vote was: 

Member Nelson                      Absent

Mayor Diesel                          Yes

Vice-Mayor Jordan                 Yes

Member Stoeckel                    Yes
