provide the location of two (2) properties along 27th Avenue SW involved in
the request to rezone from CN, Neighborhood Commercial District, to CL,
Limited Commercial District. His detailed presentation included the purpose
of rezoning the properties and the land uses that would be allowed if the request
Indian River County Florida Page 10
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final November 5, 2019
was approved by the Board. In addition, he highlighted the Other Corridors
Special Development Regulations, the Existing and Adjacent Zoning, and the
Criteria Analyzed, making mention that a detailed concurrency review would be
done at the time of the project development plan review. Chief Schutt stated
that there would be no adverse environmental impacts as a result of rezoning
the two (2) properties, and that the Planning and Zoning Commission and
County staff had recommended approval of the rezoning request.
Commissioner O'Bryan received confirmation from Chief Schutt regarding the
possibility of a Dollar General retail store being built on one of the properties.
The Commissioner then inquired and received clarification from Public Works
Director Rich Szpyrka about the increase of traffic to the area.
Jeremy Anderson, Common Oak Engineering, 1201 Louisiana Ave, Winter
Park, the engineer of record for Hanlex Development, LLC, spoke on the Urban
Service Area and the Concurrency Review. He mentioned that the proposed
rezoning request was consistent with the Indian River County 2030
Comprehensive Plan and would bring the property into zoning compliance with
the County's Land Development Regulations.
Commissioner O'Bryan inquired about the property owned by Sogra Properties,
LLC, and Mr. Anderson stated that he was unaware of any planned
development.
Michael Weaver, 2746 25th Street SW, provided several reasons for not
supporting the rezoning request.
Vance Houdyshell, 897 Indian Lane, a property owner involved in the request
to rezone, commented that the request was a zoning correction, not a site plan
review/approval.
Community Development Director Roland DeBlois remarked that the
properties involved in the request had been zoned for commercial use for many
years, but had not been developed. He emphasized that the hearing was for
rezoning, not for site plan approval.
Lisa Doidge, 1716 Highland Drive SW, was not against the rezoning request,
but she did not support an additional dollar store being built in the area.
Joseph Paladin, President of Black Swan Consulting, spoke in support of the
rezoning request.
Peter Robinson, 315 Greytwig Road, supported the request to rezone the
property.
Indian River County Florida Page 11
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final November 5, 2019
Mr. Weaver again addressed the Board regarding his concerns related to
increased traffic and the impact of adding an additional dollar store to the
neighborhood.
Mr. Anderson took an additional opportunity to address the Board and explain
his expertise related to dollar stores and the communities they serve. He stated
that Dollar General fits the Limited Commercial District zoning category.
There being no additional speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner O'Bryan discussed his concern regarding the traffic impact in the
area, noting that the convenience of dollar stores could lead to additional traffic
if people were visiting the store on a daily basis. He requested that the Public
Works Department keep a close eye on the increased traffic and related
accidents, and to add turn lanes if it becomes necessary.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Adams, seconded by Commissioner Zorc,
to adopt Ordinance 2019-019, amending the zoning ordinance and the
accompanying zoning map for approximately ±4.40 acres located north of south
dike and ditch and east of 27th Avenue SW from CN, Neighborhood Commercial
District, to CL, Limited Commercial District; and ±1.037 acres located west of 27th
Avenue SW, east of 27th Drive SW, and approximately 315 feet north of 25th

Discussion ensued among members of the Board. Commissioner O'Bryan and
Chairman Solari inquired about the contract wording and the amount of rain it
took to justify a rain delay. Director Burke clarified the process staff and CDM
Smith had followed for accepting the project delay, and he reminded the Board

slopes at the landfill.

could be a result of the actual impact on site following rain in the area. He
