There were no additional speakers, and the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Flescher sought and received confirmation from the County Attorney that prior communications related to the church, but unrelated to the parking lot, would not prevent his participation in today's quasi-judicial hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED for discussion by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve staff's recommendation, with staff's conditions EXCLUDING Special Condition No. 4 — Traffic Monitoring to determine if additional signage will be required for parking along Roseland Road. Discussion ensued on the importance of the food bank and the church's willingness to be a good neighbor. Chairman O'Bryan stated that although he supports the food bank, he is concerned about possible unintended consequences of approving this item without the traffic monitoring. He declared support for the Motion if amended to include a traffic monitoring period. Commissioner Solari stood by his original Motion. Discussion continued by the Board and staff about the traffic monitoring condition, the proposed parking lot, the intensity of use at the church, and the pros and cons of adding signage on Roseland Road. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a 4-1 vote (Chairman O'Bryan opposed), the Motion carried. The Board FOUND, that in conjunction with the recommended conditions: 1. It is empowered under the provisions of Chapter 971 to review the special exception applied for; 2. The granting of the special exception will not adversely affect the public interest; 3. The application satisfies the general and specific criteria required for special exception approval; and 4. The conditions stated below are adequate to ensure compatibility between the special exception use and surrounding land uses; and The Board GRANTED special exception approval for the Board of County Commission Minutes July 15, 2014 Page 7
