[00:05:02]

WE HAVE OUR CRA DIRECTOR, AND SHE'S GOING TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH THE TIMELINE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE TO TODAY. GOOD EVENING. PINAL GANDHI, THE CRA DIRECTOR, FOR THE RECORD. I JUST WANT TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS OF HOW WE GOT HERE. CITY AND THE CRA HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT SINCE 2001, 2021. SO THE PROJECT WAS INITIATED WHEN THE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CDBG COVID GRANT, THAT WAS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITIES.

IT WAS A $5 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING THAT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO STATES TO PREVENT, PREPARE FOR, AND RESPOND TO ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM THE PANDEMIC. AND THEN THE HUD, WHICH IS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, PARTNERED WITH THE STATE GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE FLORIDA COMMERCE, TO ADMINISTER THE GRANT, THE GRANT BECAME AVAILABLE TO COMMUNITIES, THROUGHOUT THE STATE. AND THEN THE CITY DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO PURSUE THIS GRANT. THERE WERE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE COULD USE THIS GRANT. GRANT FOR, TO HELP WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DURING THAT TIME. WE PUBLISHED A NOTICE IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT WE WERE PURSUING THIS GRANT BECAUSE WE WANTED PUBLIC INPUT, SO WE HAD TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS BACK IN FEBRUARY 2021, TO HEAR IDEAS FROM PEOPLE AS TO WHAT WE SHOULD APPLY FOR. AND THERE WERE CERTAIN ACTIVITIES WE COULD APPLY FOR. IT WAS LIMITED TO, ACTIVITIES THAT ACTUALLY RESPOND TO A PANDEMIC, SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES INCLUDED ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, REHAB OF BUILDINGS, ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESSES, PUBLIC SERVICES, PROJECT PLANNING, WHICH COULD BE DESIGN OR DOING STUDIES, SO WE DID HEAR IDEAS FROM PEOPLE. AND THEN THE COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND THAT WE GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE APPLICATION, TO ACQUIRE THE WILLIE GARY PROPERTY FOR A JOB TRAINING CENTER AND CREATE JOBS FOR THE COMMUNITY, SO WE SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION BACK IN MARCH 2021. THIS PROPERTY WAS FOR SALE AT THAT TIME. BUT AGAIN, WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL WE APPLIED FOR THE GRANT.

AND WE WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO GET THE GRANT. SO WE WERE JUST APPLYING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

AND THEN IN 2022, WE FOUND OUT THAT 23 COMMUNITIES WERE RECEIVING GRANT FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH. AND WE WERE ONE OF THOSE COMMUNITIES, AND WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE MOST AMOUNT OF GRANT, AT THAT TIME. SO THEN IN 2023, WE WENT AHEAD AND EXECUTED AGREEMENT WITH FLORIDA COMMERCE IN JANUARY 2023, NOW THAT WE HAD THE AGREEMENT, WE STARTED THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS TO ACQUIRE THE WILLIE GARY PROPERTY. WHICH IS, ON IN ON MLK IN THE EAST STEWART NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WE STARTED WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS, WE REALIZED THAT, THAT IT WASN'T COST FEASIBLE TO REHAB THE BUILDING. WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DEMOLITION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION, SO THEN I WENT TO THE STATE AND I SAID, HEY, WE NEED MORE MONEY, WE NEED AN ADDITIONAL 1.5 MILLION IF WE WANT TO DO NEW CONSTRUCTION. THEY SAID, HEY, GREAT, WE WOULD LOVE TO FUND THIS PROJECT, SO WE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $6.2 MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT, WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS, WHICH TOOK ALMOST A YEAR, WE HAD TO MEET ALL THE FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS, AND THEN FINALLY WE RECEIVED AN AUTHORIZATION TO USE GRANT FUNDS. IN DECEMBER 2023. SO WE COULDN'T REALLY WE COULDN'T EVEN ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY. WE WERE JUST DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE UP TO, LAST YEAR. AND THEN WE ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY FOR $1.6 MILLION IN JANUARY 2024, WE WENT OUT FOR RFP AND CONTRACTED WITH KIMLEY-HORN TO PREPARE DESIGNS. AND THEN WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO PARTNER WITH PROJECT LIFT, FOR TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE AT THIS NEW FACILITY.

SO, THE BOARD APPROVED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO PARTNER WITH PROJECT LIFT. AND THEN WE LAST, LAST MONTH, WE HAD A MEETING IN THE EAST STUART NEIGHBORHOOD, TO DISCUSS THE PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN AND RECEIVE THEIR FEEDBACK ON THE SITE PLAN, AND THEN JUST ON TUESDAY, WE HAD THE CRB MEETING, TO, SHOW THE SITE PLAN AND GET THEIR APPROVAL, WE DID GET A51

[00:10:01]

AND MY FILE.

GOOD EVENING. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JODY KUGLER. I'M THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO DISCUSS ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS A REZONING FOR 710 SOUTHEAST MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BOULEVARD FROM AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP FROM KPD, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO REZONE TO A BUSINESS MIXED USE PMU. THIS IS THE REQUIRED NOTICE THAT WAS SENT OUT, WE LETTERS WITHIN 300FT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY WAS POSTED WITH THREE DIFFERENT SIGNS AND THE AFFIDAVIT STATING THAT THE REQUIRES REQUIREMENTS WERE MET.

THIS IS THE OVERALL AREA OF WHERE THE PROJECT IS LOCATED. IF YOU SEE IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 710 SOUTHEAST. MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BOULEVARD AND AT.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD AND TARPON AVENUE. THE TOTAL ACRES IS 2.4 AND IS WITHIN THE CRA AND EAST STUART OVERLAY DISTRICT. JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT BACKGROUND, BACK IN 2023, OF FEBRUARY, THE CITY COMMISSION ADOPTED THE FORM BASED CODE, FOR EAST STUART NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PURPOSE OF THE CODE WAS TO ENCOURAGE REDEVELOPMENT, INFILL DEVELOPMENT, SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HORSE PARK PRESERVATION, AND RESTORATION, TO PROMOTE TO PROMOTE STABILITY WITHIN THE EAST STUART NEIGHBORHOOD. WITHIN THE EAST STUART OVERLAY DISTRICT, SECTION LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 3.0, 2.02 ADOPTED A REGULATING PLAN, WHICH IDENTIFIED THREE ZONING DISTRICTS WITHIN THE EAST STUART NEIGHBORHOOD. NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS. ZONING CODE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ONE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW IS THE REQUEST, THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING TO REZONE IT.

IS THE BUSINESS MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT. AND THIS DISTRICT IS APPROPRIATE FOR AREAS THAT ENCOMPASS A TRADITIONAL BUSINESS AREA ABUTTING THE SOUTH SIDE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BOULEVARD. THIS MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS, FOR WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED. YOU ALSO, THERE IS TWO OTHER DISTRICTS, WHICH IS THE GENERAL RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE GROW ZONING DISTRICT AND SINGLE FAMILY AND DUPLEX. THIS IS THE REGULATING PLAN, AS YOU CAN SEE IN A CIRCLED IN THE, BOLD, BLACK LINE, CIRCLE IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS A KPD TODAY, THE ONLY PINK LIGHT PINK SQUARE, THE PROPERTY IS REQUESTING TO GO BACK TO GO TO A DARK SQUARE COLOR, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DISTRICT. AGAIN, THIS IS THE EXISTING ZONING MAP WITH THE KP. AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED ZONING MAP, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY IS IN A, FUTURE LAND USE IS THE EAST STUART LAND USE

[00:15:07]

OKAY. VERY GOOD. YEAH. IF THEY WANT TO COMMENT FIRST, IS THAT IF YOU WANT TO GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, YEAH, WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. PROBABLY GO AHEAD. IF I'M DOING SOMETHING OUT OF ORDER, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU ENTERTAIN MOTIONS. AND IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF WHO GAVE A PRESENTATION. I'M SORRY, SIR, WE'LL GIVE YOU ONE ONE MINUTE.

NO, NO. AND THERE'S THE APPLICANT IS HERE. OKAY, THAT'S GOING TO RUN PROJECT LIFT, AND THEY ARE NOT PRESENTING ANY. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM OR THE STAFF, OKAY, THAT WOULD BE THE TIME. AND THEN I WOULD PROBABLY ENTERTAIN MOTIONS. AND THEN BEFORE YOU VOTE AND HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT COME UP. ALL RIGHT. SO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION FIRST TO UNLESS ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF. SO WE'LL GO TO QUESTIONS THEN FROM THE FROM THE BOARD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR I HAVE A QUESTION, IS IT IS A REASON IT NEEDS A ZONING CHANGE BECAUSE IT'S IN A SPECIAL DISTRICT? OR COULD THIS NOT GO THROUGH AS A KPD? CHAIR, AND BOARD MEMBER? YES. RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT, COMMERCIAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT IS EXPIRED. OKAY SO IT HAS TO IT HAS TO BE ZONED TO SOMETHING. SO, WHEN STAFF LOOKED AT THIS, IT WAS MORE APPROPRIATE TO BE A STRAIGHT ZONING, WHICH IS THE, BMU, WHICH IS WHAT IT WAS ADOPTED THROUGH THE FORM BASED CODE. OKAY AND I DID HAVE A QUESTION. HOW LONG WAS IT, A GAS STATION, LIKE, NOT BASICALLY NOT BEING USED. HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? I, I'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST TWO YEARS. I KNOW THE GAS STATION HASN'T BEEN IN FRUITION. I THINK THAT CRA COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THAT BETTER THAN I COULD. YEAH, I, I HAVE A COMMENT. I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 30 YEARS. I HAVE LIVED HERE 30 YEARS, AND THE GAS STATION HAS NEVER BEEN IN USE. AND I'VE ALWAYS FEEL GRIEVED THAT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY WITH IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY, JUST SITS THERE AND IT'S IN WASTE. SO IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. THANK YO. I HAVE A COMMENT MORE FOR THE BOARD. A LOT OF THIS STUFF IN OUR ITEM PACKET DOESN'T APPLY TO WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING. IT'S FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE. THE SITE PLAN. ALL THE KIMLEY-HORN REPORTS DOESN'T REALLY APPLY TO WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING. YEAH, IT'S JUST, JUST A ZONING. ZONING? YEAH. OKAY. I'M SORRY. I DON'T KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND. SO THE OLD ZONING EXPIRED, SO WE HAVE TO DO A NEW ZONING, BUT WHY WOULD WE NOT KEEP THE FORMER DESIGNATION? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WAS ALLOWED THERE? IT WOULDN'T ALLO, PROJECT LIFT TO OPERATE THIS AS A TRAINING CENTER UNDER THE KPD. CHAIR AND, BOARD MEMBER.

PETERSON. THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. SO IF YOU GO BACK TO A COMMERCIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, THEN SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LIKE THE STREETSCAPES AND THE FRONTAGE AND THE WAY THAT'S LOCATED, THE PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS THAT'S WERE ADOPTED IN THE FORM BASED CODE WOULD NOT REALLY APPLY TO THIS SITE. SO YOU DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE THAT WAS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF ADOPTING THE CODE AT THAT TIME IN 2023, WAS TO SHOW THOSE CONNECTIVITIES AND BEAUTIFY THE PROPERTY AND ADD MORE WALKABILITY THROUGHOUT THE SITE. SO THIS WILL CONFORM WHEN THEY DO THE NEW STREETSCAPE ON MARTIN LUTHER, THEN IT WILL KIND OF INTEGRATE WITH THAT. IS THAT THE PLAN? YES. WHEN THE CITY WILL COMING THROUGH WITH THE, MARTIN LUTHER KING BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO COME THROUGH WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, THIS WILL

[00:20:04]

BUT, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. I'M HEARING INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROPERTY, BUT NO ONE EVEN KNOWS THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY. I'M SPEAKING FOR SOME OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY OF EAST STEWART. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN EAST STEWART, WENT TO SCHOOL, WALKED THE STREETS AND EVERYTHING. WE HAVE SEVEN PEOPLE HERE TODAY THAT WAS BORN IN EAST STEWART. STILL LIVE THERE. THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR DECADES, MULTIPLE DECADES, 50, 60 YEARS. AND THIS WAS HAPPENING WITH THE ZONING CHANGE. WE ARE OPPOSED TO IT. A FEW THINGS WITH THIS TIMELINE. I THINK THE CITY JUST BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, BUT I'M HEARING THAT ALL THE WAY IN 2021, THERE WERE PLANS MADE FOR THE PROPERTY. AND I'M NOT I'M REAL SHAKY ON THAT TIMELINE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED. REGARDING HOW THIS ORIGINATED.

BUT TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE GARRETT PROPERTY STORE IS A HISTORIC PROPERTY FOR EAST STEWART FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY STORE, WHICH IS A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK AND FOR THE CITY TO COME IN AND PROPOSE CHANGES THAT WILL AFFECT US. WE HAVE A WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT. I'M NOT AGAINST THE OWNER OF PROJECT LIVE. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S VERY GOOD, BUT WE WANT THINGS IN EAST STEWART THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR THE PEOPLE OF EAST STEWART. AND WE FEEL THE CRA MONEY IS BEING GENERATED BY EAST STEWART REUSE.

[00:25:04]

[00:30:04]

BUT I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG THAT PROPERTY HAS BEEN EMPTY. BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 20 YEARS. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. IT IS SOMETHING THAT I NOTICE EVERY TIME I DRIVE BY. I SAY, WHY IS THIS BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY JUST SITTING HERE? SO MY QUESTION IS, WHICH IS PROBABLY A RHETORICAL QUESTION, BUT WHAT IS A BETTER WAY TO USE A PROPERTY THAN TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND SKILLS FOR OUR YOUTH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE TO A VOTE? YES YEAH. AGAIN, THIS IS ALWAYS TOUGH. YOU KNOW, ANYTIME YOU GOT THE PUBLIC AND THERE'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPMENT, HOWEVER, ONE THING EVERYBODY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND, WE'RE A ADVISORY BOARD, SO WE WILL PASS ALONG IF WE VOTE FOR IT AGAINST IT. IT'S MERELY BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE CITY. OKAY. COMMISSION. I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF ANYBODY HAS SOME FEELINGS OR SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE COULD GO AWRY, AS THE GENTLEMAN SPOKE HERE, DON'T BE AFRAID OF PUTTING IT UP HERE ON THE RECORD, TO OUR BOARD, BECAUSE IT GETS DISTRIBUTED NOT ONLY THROUGH OUR BOARD, BUT THE STAFFS. AND IT GETS TO THE COMMISSION. AND, SO YOU DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY OF ANYTHING YOU FEEL OR SUCH THAT BY NO MEANS DON'T FEEL, YOU KNOW, SCARED TO STEP UP AND, YOU KNOW, PUT IT ON RECORD THAT HELPS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY FOR WHATEVER YOUR INPUT IS. OKAY? BECAUSE AGAIN, WE UNDERSTAND IT'S GOING INTO A COMMUNITY. AND, IF WE CAN'T LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THINGS UNLESS THE COMMUNITY HAS AN INPUT. AND I HAVE ALL FAITH IN THE CITY OF STUART AND THE STAFFS THAT THEY WILL DO THEIR BEST TO WORK WITH YOU, YOU JUST DON'T BE AFRAID TO APPROACH THEM, OKAY, AND I'M SURE THEY, THE COMMISSIONERS WILL BE GLAD TO, YOU KNOW, GET YOUR INPUT AND SO THAT IT COMES OUT FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS FOR THE USE THAT'S BEING INTENDED. SO, JUST IF YOU FEEL FREE TO STEP UP, LET US KNOW ANYMORE. CERTAINLY. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, SO BUT DEFINITELY DON'T GIVE UP ON DEALING WITH, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY, DEALING WITH THE CITY STAFFS AND STUFF, OKAY. BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT A WAYS TO GO BEFORE IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I WAS I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING. WE HAVE SOME TIME BEFORE THE, THE COMMISSION ACTUALLY VOTES ON THIS AGAIN. WE'RE AN ADVISORY BOARD. IT'S JUST ON THE ZONING. COME UP WITH OTHER SOLUTIONS, OTHER THINGS. AND I ONE OF THE OTHER SUGGESTIONS THAT I WOULD MAKE, AGAIN, OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF THE ZONING, WHICH IS ALL THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING TODAY, IS MAYBE LOOK AT THE LENGTH OF THE LEASE. I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES THE CITY IS DOING 40 YEAR LEASES. MAYBE WE DON'T NEED 40 YEARS, MAYBE WE NEED FIVE YEARS OR TEN YEARS OR, SOMETHING SHORTER TO SEE BECAUSE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY CHANGES. SO MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING TO GET SOME EDUCATION AND TRAINING INTO THE COMMUNITY. NOW BUT MAYBE IN 10 OR 15 YEARS IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND MAYBE THERE ARE SOME BUSINESSES OR SOMETHING THAT NOW WE'VE GOT A MORE VIBRANT COMMUNITY, MORE VIBRANT THAN IT ALREADY IS, THAT MAYBE CAN SUPPORT SOME BUSINESSES. THERE THAT MAYBE RIGHT NOW WE NEED THE TRAINING, BUT MAYBE IN 5 OR 10 YEARS THOSE NEEDS CHANGE, SO MAYBE TALKING TO THE COMMISSION ABOUT KEEPING THE LENGTH OF THE LEASE A LITTLE SHORTER AND GIVING YOUR INPUT AS TO SOME ALTERNATIVES AND SUGGESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE, THE ROLL CALL OR THE ROLL ON THE MOTION, I BELIEVE IT'S, YOU KNOW, ALL IN FAVOR. CORRECT. GO AHEAD AND ORDER, YEAH. IF YOU WANT TO DO ALL IN FAVOR AND IF THERE ARE ANY OPPOSED AFTER THAT. OKAY. GO AHEAD WITH THAT ONE. ALL RIGHT, ALL IN FAVOR? YES. HI. HI. HI.

YES ALL RIGHT. MAYBE CLARIFY. I SEEMED LIKE EVERYBODY WAS, BUT MAYBE. YEAH EVERYBODY AS OPPOSE.

MOTION CARRIES, I THINK THAT WAS OUR LAST AGENDA ITEM. CORRECT. SO, STAFF, DO YOU HAVE ANY
