Each Commissioner, as requested by <br />the Chairman, disclosed ex parte communications, site visits, or independent <br />investigations. The Commissioners also affirmed that they have an open mind and <br />could base their decisions on the evidence presented and the applicable law. The <br />Chairman opened the public hearing, and the Deputy Clerk administered the Oath <br />to all persons who wished to speak. <br />Planning and Services Director Chris Balter took a moment to congratulate Senior <br />Planner Cindy Thurman on her retirement after more than 30 years in public <br />service. <br />Senior Planner Cindy Thurman, Long Range Planning, presented the Board with <br />an analysis of the request to rezone a portion of the Applicant's land located on <br />the north side of Oslo Road between 74th Avenue SW and I-95, from A-1, <br />Agricultural District to CH, Heavy Commercial District. The presentation <br />displayed zoning maps and analyzed the request to ensure it was consistent with <br />Future Land Use Designations and met criteria under Section 902.12(3). Ms. <br />Thurman noted that while the location did not align with the Comprehensive Plan <br />as it was not near railroad tracks, it was near an industrial use such as the landfill <br />along Oslo Road. Staff concluded that the request was consistent and compatible <br />with the surrounding area and recommended approval; the Planning Zoning <br />Commission (PZC) approved the request at its March 27, 2025 meeting. <br />Neither the Board nor the Applicant had questions of staff. Mr. Blaine <br />Bergstresser of KMA Engineering & Surveying, LLC, the engineer on record, <br />was present on behalf of the Applicant. <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 10 <br />
