After lengthy review and minor changes, Ms. Plume made a motion to recommend to the City Commission approval of the revised text as amended for the proposed MIC Zoning District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Soloway and passed unanimously. III . New Business (3) Action on proposed text amendment to provide an exemption to the minimum lot size requirement for certain automobile uses in the SC Zoning District: Mr. Kovacs explained that at its meeting of July 1, 1987 , the Board reviewed a request from Shamrock Leasing to occupy an existing building for the purpose of conducting the leasing of automobiles. The use to be on a parcel with less than 1.5 acres of land. The interpretation before staff was that the petition could not be accepted because it did not meet the threshold requirements of code. At that time direction was given by the Board to consider an amendment to the code which would allow a new use established on a parcel of less than 1 .5 acres if it were in a totally enclosed structure. Ms. Plume felt that an enclosed dealership is a very intensive use. Mr. Andrews did not object to the amendment but felt that it was the wrong location for that particular use. Mr. Currie stated that he did not object to the use but that it should be a conditional use. Ms . Davila, City Horticulturist, asked if the petitioner could get a waiver because the use is an existing use. Chairman Sumrall disagreed with the interpretation and felt that Ms. Davila brought up a valid point. Ms . Sumrall expressed concern of the potential impact and of the possibility of satellite dealerships and did not see how it could be properly controlled to her satisfaction. Conceptually she was not opposed to this particular petition. P&Z Minutes v•; t RegularMeeting/Workshop l ^-% August 5, 1987 I}; Page 3 r Chairman Sumrall opened the discussion to the audience. Speaking in opposition from the audience were the following: 1) Mr. Digby Bridges; and 2) Mr. Jay Strack, owner of Shamrock Leasing. Speaking in opposition were the following: 3) Mr. Charlie Smith; 4) Mr. Paul Smith; and, 5) Mrs. Helen Coopersmith. It was then moved by Ms. Plume to not initial a zoning code amendment which allows an exemption to standards in Section 30-12(N) (5) (a) (1) based upon findings that it diminishes progress made in achieving Policy statement A-10 (Commercial) ; that the current design standards are adequate; an exemption based upon an argument of creating an "incentive" is inappropriate; and, that the longer-term adverse implications related to questions of use are of greater weight than are arguments pertaining to matters of revitalization and incentive. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kellerman and passed by a vote of 5-1 (Currie dissenting because he felt that the petitioner for the automotive leasing should be able to return to the Planning and Zoning Board) . III .
