Occupational License Requests:  Crane Max. LLC2450NUSD ii. Land Equipment, Inc. (2450NUS1) iii. RMB Crane, LLC(2450NUSI  The occupational license applications for the above (i, ii and ini), were submitted to the Board in November. These businesses all include office use and I understand that Crane Max also sells cranes, Land Equipment sells other equipment, such as pile drivers, and RMB Crane is a crane service which has two cranes that are regularly used to provide crane  services off premises. Copies oft the applications are enclosed.    Mayor and Board of Aldermen Page 2 January 8, 2023  I've considered whether the uses are permitted, and our Land Development Code certainly permits office and sales uses but is not clear on the crane service use. One thing that is clear is that, as it pertains to the sales use, outdoor display of construction equipment and vehicles is permitted under the Land Development Code. See Section 3.12.6. We also consulted with the County and reviewed their code provisions to geti insight. Based on that, Iunderstand that rentals ofheavy equipment would be allowed in the County General Commercial district, sales (including outdoor display) would likely be allowed, a contractor operation with outdoor storage (versus their contractor's trade use) would be questionable and simple outdoor storage of] heavy equipment would not be permitted in that Its seems to me that, based on our provisions including the one allowing display of construction equipment and vehicles, the uses proposed are generally consistent with what Ithink that we might consider whether we want to clarify our applicable code provisions. We are expecting an occupational license application for the old Norris' restaurant. We've  zoning.  our code allows; s,Irecommend approval.  iv.

We have a question on the property north of the former Red Rooster We had previously responded to queries, as per the below. The question now is the number required parking spaces. Carlandl discussed this briefly. I've since looked at in more detail. They propose self-storage buildings with an office. The site is 152,000 SF+ +/-, the total buildings will be 56,555 SF, and the office is 2,023 SF. To me, it's not clear which of the measures is the basis for determining required parking-our chart just says "spaces per gross The general provision, 3.9.1. A (2), would require 5 vehicle parking spaces or the number from the chart, if greater. At D, it says that for uses not listed, as with this use, we. shall apply the most similar use. Ihad been looking at this based on the outdoor storage requirements (#98 in the chart, 1 space per 500 gross SF) or Office & Related (#90, 1 space per 350 SF). The smallest requirement on the Frankly, if parking is calculated, even at 1 per 1000 SF, based on anything other than the office space, it seems to result in an unreasonably high number of spaces being required.  square feet". (Gross square feet of what?)  listed uses is 1 space per 1,000 SF.  The design firm is hoping that we can at least give them a number we would recommend to the Board.

Stat. S 112.3144, to change the financial disclosure requirements and now require that all elected municipal mayors and elected members of the governing board file a Form 6 financial disclosure, which is substantially more burdensome and personally intrusive than the Form 1; and  WHEREAS, the imposition of the Form 6 disclosure requirements at the municipal level (a) represents an unwarranted intrusion into the privacy rights of municipal elected    officials, most of which receive little or no compensation for their service, (b) unnecessarily risks the safety of such officials (making them targets of, among other things, burglary, identity theft and extortion), and (c) will deter many otherwise qualified  and interested citizens from running for office; and  WHEREAS, in fact, many municipal officials resigned from office prior to December 31, 2023, as a result of the new disclosure requirements, disrupting the ability  of some local governments to operate for lack of a quorum; and  WHEREAS, the imposition of the intrusive Form 6 disclosure requirements at the municipal level is not the least restrictive means of serving the governmental interests of preventing abuse of the public trust, as demonstrated by, among other things, the lack of such requirements at the municipal level in other states and at the federal level (even the President of the United States and members of the U.S. Congress are not required to  make such extensive disclosures); and  WHEREAS, requiring that unpaid (or low paid) municipal elected officials disclose their precise net worth, income and assets does not serve (let alone constitute the least restrictive means of serving) any compelling interest - Form 1 disclosures constitutes  sufficient transparency to inform the public of potential conflicts; and  WHEREAS, the imposition of new financial disclosure requirements upon municipal elected officials who were elected without such requirements violates due process, is fundamentally unfair and violates fundamental constitutional rights; and  WHEREAS, the City desires to participate in a lawsuit seeking a declaration that the provisions of Section 112.3144(1)(d), Florida Statutes, that require municipal elected    officials to file Form 6 financial disclosure forms are unconstitutional and invalid and  should be enjoined (the Lawsuit"); and WHEREAS, the City  believes it is in the best interest of the citizens and  residents of the City to participate in the Lawsuit and urges other municipalities and their  elected officials to also participate as plaintiffs.  NOW, THEREFORE, BEI IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF  FLORIDA AS FOLLOWS:  Section 1: That the foregoing WHEREAS" clauses are ratified and confirmed  as being true and correct and are made a specific part of this Resolution.
