The committee was established by ordinance 0510 known as the Allouchowa County Unified Land Development Code. The DRC has no authority to change zoning of property or to change any existing ordinances or regulations. Approval of zoning or amendments to ordinances can only be done by the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners.

And Madam Chair, I don't believe we have any party requests, but just for everyone's knowledge, a party would be someone who can share that they would be more directly or more substantially impacted by the decisions today, and they have the ability to request the opportunity to speak for a longer period of time. But as I said, we don't have any requests today. Thank you. At this time, I will ask the clerk to swear in all persons wishing to speak at today's hearing. Everybody please stand. Do you swear or affirm that the evidence or testimony you will be providing today is the truth to the best of your knowledge and belief? Thank you. At this time, we will have the items to be presented by staff. Good afternoon, Leslie McClendon, senior planner with the Latterew County Growth Management. The first item on the agenda today is the Gainesville Climate Control 75th Street Self Storage Facility. This is a final development plan. It's for approximately three story, just over 109,000 square foot self-storage facility. So, okay, it's 606 Northwest 75th Street. Approximately 2.02 acres, commercial future land use, and the business highway zoning district. You can see here, it's these two parcels here at the western end of this kind of an existing plaza here, just off of Northwest 70 Fitz Street and south of Newberry Road. An existing site, so yeah this is, I'm going to have a few sites because this is an existing site, this is a former restaurant here and a lot of existing parking due to the size of the storage facility. It did go to the Baurda County Commissioners for approval of a preliminary development plan. I'll show you that in just one moment. It was approved in June. But a lot of the focus at the preliminary development plan, you know, just in addition to anything over the threshold or natural resources and a lot of discussion and review was spent along for the three big trees along the southern portion there. You can see here the switches at the Westruin and of this plaza there's some existing businesses to the east and they all share the same access in there. Just to show the existing conditions off of Tower Road here, so this is the entrance there. You can see some of those existing businesses served by their parking lots there. And this is the site of that former Napolitano's restaurant. And again, just kind of showing what's there now with some of the tree canopy area. There's an existing stormwater basin that serve the existing development. And so all of this here will get redeveloped. And this is the preliminary development plan that the board approved. And we did a review during that process more details than typical for preliminary just due to some of the constraints on the site and ensuring that we preserved these large trees to this southern there's a 90 inch tree. This one was a 90 inch tree, a 54 inch tree, and then a 60 inch tree down here. Again, so the overall development plan showed for preliminary the general building outline, pavement and parking areas and the buffer to the west as well with the retaining wall here. And they are at that time too as part of just having everything work for the site, are proposing some underground vaults for storage. And those are carried over to the review for final. So yeah, as the DRC knows, the tree preservation is a great priority for these sites. And so some of the factors that were considered for the site since it is existing was to, there was no additional encroachment. So this is some of the existing dry vials. So there's no further encroachment of the paved area within the tree canopy protection area. There are some existing, there's a storm structure in this location and a storm water based on so those will remain, this will have sediment removed and the pipe will be relocated, replace in the same location. There is also existing utility easement here so that will be utilized within that area as well. And this is the final development plan. So again, it's very consistent with the preliminary development plan. It shows a dumpster location. Again, the access will be this is terrible to the east, you de-utilizing that existing access to serve the site. And there's again, there's a the property to the west is zone for like administrative professional, but there's a single family residence west of it. So there's a 40 foot wide buffer here with retaining wall that will have landscaping that to accommodate that. And the landscape plan, showing the landscaping within this location, and then the trees within the parking areas as well. And the elevation, so this is that east elevation, kind of when you're driving in so it's facing that eastern area, the north, the west, and then the south side. I did also want to clarify in the the person that reviews the architectural evations found all of these to be compliant There was still some mitigation required for tree mitigation So that's one of the conditions of approval for V and Lou just but due to the large preservation areas and there's no new stormwater basins, so there's just limited area to replant on this site. So there will be mitigation. And so there is a condition of approval that prior to issuance of construction permit, pay the tree mitigation fee of $18,850 to Elatio County Parks and Conservation Lands, the other growth management department, or provide a revised plan demonstrating compliance $50, to Elatio County Parks and Conservation Lands, via the Growth Management Department, or provide a revised plan demonstrating compliance with tree mitigation requirements. And staff finds a proposed final development plan to be consistent with the Elatio County Comprehensive Plan, the Unified Land Development Code, and the approved preliminary development plan. And staff recommends approval with condition of the final development plan for Gangsville Climate Control 75th Street Self-Sortge Facility. That concludes staff presentation and the applicant is here as well if there's any questions. Okay, thank you. Are there any questions from the committee? I have none. I have none. All right, thank you. At this time we'll ask the applicant to come forward with any presentation or comments. I do have the presentation up here and I'm Michelle Bach with 1784 holdings. We are the developer Salahandro. Go ahead. Alhondra Sentizo, Anwar Phanoni, one of the sub-engineers and surveyors. So we do have a presentation. I can run through it. It's a lot of the same information that Liz already shared. But if you would like to see it, I can give it otherwise. I'm here to answer any questions that you may have. You can give the presentation. Okay. Okay, so again, thank you for having us. We did go to our Board of County commissioners back in June and here for the Development Review Committee meeting. Again, our project team here, Alejandra Me and then we also have Jesse Ray in the audience. She is our land use consultant with NIMO consulting. So 1784, we are National Self Storage Builder. We've been around since 2013. We are headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, but we do have projects nationwide and actually we have a handful here in the state of Florida, about five or six actually across the state in various forms of development and entitlements. We produce a class A, self-storage, climate controlled facilities that we really strive to be more of a commercial use than a warehouse use. As you can see in some of our design and features that we provide, as well as the customer service and the interior features that we hold, the standards that we hold to it. The site, again, I'm gonna kind of skip some of the site stuff since Leslie already went over it for the site location off of Northwest 75th Street. These are a few of our renderings to correspond with the elevations that that Leslie shared. We are proposing a 900,000, 109,000 square foot three-story building with our max height being around 42 feet that is measured to the very top of the parapet that 42 foot number. Again, it is a three-story climate controlled building with more of a contemporary design to give more of that urban office feel. This is the office area. These are photos from existing facilities we have around the country. These are the finishes of our office and what it will look like. This facility is built, very light and bright and welcoming to our customers for the self-storage industry. We have noticed that there is a larger percentage of females who rent storage in their own meals. So we do want to make sure that all of our facilities that everyone feels safe no matter who you are, but especially if you're a female or there with your children or anybody, any demographic that you are safe and secure in the facilities. We do have security cameras. There's no blind spots in our facilities inside or out. We make that very well known to our customers as you can see in these photos as soon as you walk into the office. We do have the mall on display behind the front desk as well as all of our lighting. It's very well lit. We do have them all on display behind the front desk, as well as all of our lighting. It's very well lit and all of the doors also have secured access to them. So the office hours are typically seven days a week. Standard eight to five or eight to six office hours, but the facility itself is open to our tenants. Roughly five a.m. to 10 p.m. It is not a 24 hour facility. is open to our tenants, roughly 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. It is not a 24 hour facility, and if you are a tenant, you would have access to hotel 10 p.m. But only by key code entry. So you do have to have a full lease, and then you're given a code at time of lease up. These are our interior loading bays. We do have one set of this on next to the office. We like to put our loading areas right next to the office because there is a glass wall that then our office manager can look into the loading area and be able to manage who is coming and going in and out of the loading area. So again, clean, well let, bright and open space. This provides customers just an extra layer of comfort to be able to unload and load their items in a climate controlled area. So pending any extra or weather that they can be dry and safe inside. In the elevations, these are the same elevations that last they already shared. extra weather that they can be dry and safe inside. In the elevations, these are the same elevations that Lesley already shared and our site plan. The rest of these exhibits are the same between our site plan and our elevation, our landscape plan, and these are some of the stats that I already had just mentioned between our customer access hours and our keypad entries. And really peak times that we kind of see most of our customers come kind of that mid-morning time as well as early evening, kind of right before work or right after work. But these trips also generate roughly four trips a day. It's a very low traffic user. Happy to answer any other questions you may have. All right. Thank you. Are there any questions from the committee? I have none. I have none. Thank you. And at this time we will open for public comments or questions regarding this application. And seeing none, what is the committee's pleasure? I'll make a motion for approval with conditions of the file development plan for Gainesville Climateimb controlled 75th Street self-storage. And second that motion. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to approve with conditions the final development plan for Gainesville Climb control 75th Street self-storage facility. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Use the same sign? All right, the motion passes. Madam Chair, the next item is the Woodlands subdivision. A lot 11 replat. I'm is Jacob Stout, Planned with the Growth Management. Resume is on file and I've been sworn in. So the application is to replat a lot 11 and the Woodlands subdivision to amend the setbacks to the current zoning standards. The DRC makes a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to approve the replat based on staff's recommendation. The location is at 7-813 Southwest 9th place. The property is about a quarter acre in size. It has low density future land use, and the zoning is residential single family, the R1A residential single family. This is a location of the parcel outlined in red. The Woodlands subdivision is this yellow colored subdivision with the R1A zoning off of Southwest 8th Avenue and I actually don't remember what this road is off top of my head. This is an aerial image of the existing conditions. The houses in the center of the property it meets the current setbacks which are identified on the original plat from the 1980s as 20 feet for the front, 20 feet for the rear and 10 feet for the sides. This is the existing, a boundary survey of existing conditions. And then the replat, which includes the note, the important note that this will be amended to the current zoning district standards, which are 10 feet for the front, 20 feet for the garage front, 10 feet for the rear, and five feet for the sides. This will allow the owner of the property to place an accessory building for a storage shed without encroaching on the setbacks. And with that, the replat is consistent with the Elachua County Comprehensive Plan and Unified Land Development Code. And staff recommends that the DRC recommend approval consistent with the Elatura County Comprehensive Plan and Unified Land Development Code, and staff recommends that the DRC recommend approval of the Woodlands Law 11 replat to the Board of County Commissioners. That concludes staff presentation. Thank you. Are there any questions from the committee? I have none. I have none. All right, thank you. If the applicant is here, they have any comments or presentation? Good afternoon, Chad Kohlson with CHW, the applicant for Woodlands Law 11. I have no presentation. Just thank you. I'm here if you have any questions. Thank you. Are there any questions from the committee? I have none. I have none. Thank you. Are there any questions from the committee? I have none. I have none. Thank you. We will open the floor for public comments or questions regarding this application. And seeing none, what is the committee's pleasure? I'll make a motion for approval of the Woodlands Lot 11, replat to the Board of County Commissioners. I second that motion for approval of the Woodlands Lot 11 replat to the Board of County Commissioners. Second, that motion for approval. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to recommend approval of the replat to the Board of County Commissioners for Woodlands Lot 11. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Use the same side. All right. The motion passes and the Board of County Commissioners will consider this item on December 10th at 11.30 a.m. Okay. The last item on the agenda today is the L. Wood Family Homestead Subdivision. This is a preliminary and final development plan. This is for a four lot family homestead subdivision located at 2275 Northwest 156 Avenue, approximately 36 acres, the Rural Ag Future Land Use and Agricultural Zoning District. Here's a location of the property, just off of Northwest 56. So it's just this red outline here, kind of west of County Road 231. And the area of the site you you can see existing residents here. And just for a little bit of background, there's a couple of ways to do subdivisions like in the rural areas. You could do a rural, just a standard rural subdivision for up to line knots on an unpaid road and that requires a plat. After it's platted, it can be sold to anyone. There's very specific standards for that. The code also allows for what's called a family home said subdivision and that does not require a plat to be recorded but it does require a survey to be recorded and there's specific requirements for who the lots can go to and they have to file affidavits. Those family members do once they build a home on anything on any of the new lots, they have to reside in that home for five years before they can sell it. So there's just a few other restrictions for family home set subdivisions, but then they are also not required to provide storm water management and they're not required to provide the landscape, meet the landscape, they're not required to provide the landscape. Meet the landscape. They're not required to plant anything. So with that, you can see this is a kind of highlighted some of the lines in here for the parcel lines, just to be a little easier for the PowerPoint, but this is the survey, recorded survey portion that was in your backup. So this parcel here is excluded. So it's just this here. So there's A, B, C, and D, or the four parcels. This is the existing home here. So that's what's called the residual. Since that is a residual, that can be sold at any time. It doesn't have the five-year restriction. There's an existing drive that they are utilizing. So that will come in off of that 156 to serve these two lots and there's additional easement that will be provided to serve lots B and D. Lot A is in this configuration because there is a wetland and wetland buffer along lot B, so all of the resource has to be on one lot. So that's how that configuration there. So the wetland and wetland buffer are provided on that lot. Again, they are not proposing to remove any trees with this development plan. And anything, we'll just have to go through the appropriate permitting if ever needed in the future. They are exempt from the stormwater management criteria that I mentioned before as well as the landscaping. And again they don't have to do the plat. They will just record the survey as well as the affidavits that our zoning administrator reviews those and provides the affidavits for each family member. There are some conditions of approval, some of these are just reiterated, but they are just typical code requirements. So the family homestead survey should be recorded with a clerk of the court within one year of approval. And the family homestead affidavit and homestead exception certificates should also be recorded prior to the building permits. And also construction and permit is actually not required. I need to make a correction in the staff report construction. No excuse me. I was reading it wrong. It's no construction permit is required due to existing driveway access to serve all lots. A driveway permit for this existing access is required and this permit will include it in condition to close the eastern unpurmitate driveway as part of the new driveway permit. So this is existing driveway, there's also an additional drive connection here that they use for some of their ad purposes. But due to the language of the family home said subdivision, they're allowed one access to that public road. So that staff finds a proposed preliminary and final development plan to be consistent with the Alachio County Conference of Plan and the Unified Land Development Code. Staff recommends their Google with conditions of the preliminary and final development plan for the Elwood Family Home Said subdivision. And that concludes staff presentation and the applicant is here as well if there's any questions. Thank you. Are there any questions from the committee? I have none. I have none. All right, thank you. And so at this time we'll ask the applicant to come forward with any comments or presentation. Good afternoon. My name is Brian Murphy, agent on behalf of the L. Wood family, and I'm just here to address any questions that you might have of me. Does anyone on the committee have questions from Mr. Murphy? No, ma'am. I do not. Thank you. All right. Thank you. We will open for public comments or questions regarding this application. Seeing none, what is the committee's pleasure? I'll make a motion for approval with conditions of the preliminary and final development plan for the Elwood Family Homestead subdivision. And I second that motion for approval. It's been moved and seconded to approve with conditions the preliminary and final development plan for Elwood Family Home Stead subdivision. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Use the same sign. All right, the motion passes. And that concludes the presentation portion of the agenda. Other business, the approval of the minutes for the draft minutes for October 17th, 2024 DRC meeting. Those minutes were sent to us electronically. What is the committee's pleasure? I'll make a motion to approve the October 17th, 2024 DRC minutes. I mean, I second the motion for approval. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to approve the draft minutes for the October 17th 2024 DRC meeting all in favor say aye. Aye. And opposed use the same side. All right the motion passes those minutes stand approved and that concludes today's agenda. The meeting is adjourned at 2 o'clock PM. Thank you.
