within any one building be for industrial, wholesale,
and/or repair purposes; and, that the total retail or
total office use within any one building may each
utilize up to 25% of the use area.
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.

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 . Action on proposed text amendments to the Zoning Code; such
amendments addressing a variety of Code sections:
