BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC) Recommendation Related to Low Impact


Development (LID) Presentations – City Manager Larese advised the request was to provide
direction regarding the TEC recommendation to invite speakers from the Marine Resources
Council and St. Johns River Water Management District to provide information about Low
Impact Development.

Kay St. Onge stated that the Marine Research Council issued their Indian River Lagoon report
card and indicated that the North end of the lagoon deserves a grade of F. She showed council
a picture of the Indian River Lagoon that was tainted green from algae blooms, and explained
that 90% of the seagrass died, causing the death of over 300 manatees. Ms. St. Onge stated
that LID would allow storm water to infiltrate into the ground, rather than to the storm drains
that lead to the lagoon. She asked council to allow Dr. Leesa Souto, Executive Director of
the Marine Resource Council, to make a presentation at the July 27, 2021, 5:30 p.m., meeting
with Dr. Charles Jacoby of the St. Johns River Water Management District.

Stan Johnston expressed that the Indian River Lagoon was polluted from stormwater, sewage,
and poison, which was causing the marine life to leave or die. Mr. Johnston expressed that
the Indian River Lagoon was turning into a dead zone and he no longer sees the fish that used
to be in the Lagoon.

William Klien expressed his approval for inviting Dr. Leesa Souto to the City Council
meeting to discuss LID. He also expressed his concern for the Indian River Lagoon and
suggested that the City should try to reduce their storm water runoff, to prevent the pollutants

Page 11 of 376
City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
Draft Regular Meeting

from entering our waterways. Mr. Klien stated that an estimated 80%-95% of the heavy
metals entering the waters are the result of untreated storm water runoff.

Laurilee Thompson (also a member of the Titusville Environmental Commission)


recommended that Dr. Leesa Souto and Dr. Charles Jacoby speak at the City Council meeting
during their Titusville Environmental Commission’s meeting. Ms. Thompson stated that she
would prefer only Dr. Souto speak at the meeting and allow Dr. Jacoby to speak at a later
time so that they can each have their own time. Ms. Thompson explained that LID was the
science of directing rain water where it was supposed to go and since Titusville was
dependent on the aquifer for our water supplies, the City should focus on the water returning
to the aquifer instead of going into the Indian River Lagoon.

Vice-Mayor Nelson advised that she would like either Dr. Souto or Dr. Jacoby give a
presentation for a second point of view with a ten-minute time limit.

Member Jordan advised that he would not support enforcing LID on every development that
comes into Titusville. Member Jordan stated that he supported LID, but does not want to
enforce it. He was in support of a ten-minute presentation.

Member Robinson stated that he would like to hear the presentation on LID so that he can
make an educated decision on the issues.

Member Stoeckel provided her support for a ten-minute presentation.

Council supported a 10-15 minute presentation from Dr. Leesa Souto of the Marine
Resources Council to provide information about Low Impact Development. This
presentation will be held at the regular City Council meeting (Presentation Meeting) on July
27, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. Council advised that staff did not need to provide their presentation to
Dr. Souto prior to the meeting for comments.

Right of Way (ROW) No. 1-2021 Riverside Drive – River Palms Condominiums – City
Manager Larese advised this was to vacate a portion of Riverside Drive with conditions and
adopt related Resolution No. 22-2021.

The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 7, 2021 regular
meeting and tabled in order to send notices to all residents of Indian River Avenue and
Riveredge Drive. Motion passed 6-0 with one-member abstaining.

The applicant submitted a request to vacate a portion of Riverside Drive, a public right-of-
way (ROW) in front of property located at 1805, 1815, and 1825 Riverside Drive known as
the River Palms Riverfront Condominiums development. The right-of-way contains 8,939
square feet or 0.20 acres.

The staff recommended approval of the request to vacate the right of way with the following
conditions. First, that all required drainage and utility easements are provided for all existing
facilities in the area to be vacated together with easement to access these areas. Second, in
the event that compliance with the conditions set forth herein was not achieved within 180

recommended that the City send out notices to more of the surrounding property owners and
post new signs on the property.

see them.

Parish clarified that the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendations were to notice
all residents of Indian River Avenue and Riverside Drive, which was more than the

more signs on the property.

side of US1 and did not include Riverside Drive. She asked council to listen to the citizen’s
concerns and not just focus on the traffic study.

council for tabling the item to allow more citizens the opportunity to speak on it.

Council requested the reposting of signs on the property to provide notice to the residents and
citizens. Council requested the signs be posted in more visible locations. Council did not
authorize sending notices to all residents of Indian River Avenue and Riverside Drive since
staff followed the procedures of the Land Development Regulations and provided notice to
all residents within 500 feet of the property.

to allow the church to have a community vegetable garden.

severability; repeal of conflicting ordinances; for an effective date and for incorporation into
the code.

City Manager Larese advised the recommended action was to conduct the second public hearing
for Ordinance No. 15-2021.

The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) considered this ordinance on June 2, 2021 and
unanimously (7:0) recommended approval with the following recommendation to change any
zoning category that allows residential uses to require a conditional use where the proposed
brewpub was within 100 feet of a residential use, otherwise the brewpub use should be permitted
as a limited use.

Nicole Corning advised that the revised ordinance would attract more distilleries and craft
breweries and help Titusville to become more of a destination for tourist. Ms. Corning thanked
council for considering this ordinance change.

Edward Irvin stated that he had been in the craft beer industry professionally since 2013. Mr. Irvin
stated that he had seen many breweries positively impact areas, and believed that Ordinance No.
15-2021 would help to attract more people to Titusville.

Laura Ward asked council why Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU) did not require a conditional use
permit, but Urban Mixed Use (UMU) did require a permit. Planning Manager Brad Parish
explained that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended this for Urban Mixed Use
District, but not for the other zoning districts. Ms. Ward stated that she believed that the Shoreline
Mixed Use District should require a conditional use permit.

by staff. Vice-Mayor Nelson seconded the motion. The roll call vote was as follows:

facilities that have food establishments, allowing for an internal or external device depending
on the establishment.

Nathan Slusher stated that he had spoken to business owners who were concerned about

that the grant money from the American Rescue Plan would eventually run out so it would
be a short-term solution, instead of a long-term solution.

policies that are in the Comprehensive Plan, including loss of wetlands and the Indian River
Lagoon.

changes to the Comprehensive Plan after it had already been approved by the state. Mr.
Parrish explained that as long as they are only insignificant changes, the City could have the
revisions reapproved by the state.

Laura Ward expressed that she did not support some of the items taken out of the
Comprehensive Plan, including the requirements for multi-family housing to be on either a
collector or arterial road. Ms. Ward explained that taking this requirement out would allow

prevent the filling of wetlands and to protect the wetlands near the Indian River Lagoon.

The purpose of the meeting was, as followed:

Tree Protection Workshop - City Manager Larese reviewed the purpose of the special City Council
meeting, as provided on the meeting agenda.

The goal of the workshop was to inform Council of the current status of the tree protection
ordinance, and to receive questions from Council to ensure they are provided with adequate
information to feel comfortable reviewing the ordinance during the public hearing process.
Requests for additional information expressed at the workshop would assist staff time in preparing
for the ordinance public hearing.

Community Development Director Peggy Busacca stated that staff started the tree protection
ordinance in May of 2019 with Council advisability and have had Titusville Environmental
Commission reviews, Planning and Zoning Commission reviews and workshops. Staff was
advised to focus on mandatory preservation, increased penalties for “untouchable” trees, concerns
about clear cutting, and quick wins.

City Attorney Broome read the Private Property Rights 70-001 also known as Bert Harris, which
provides relief to private property owners who are unfairly affected by government action. City
Attorney Broome then explained that the current City Code does provide property owners the
ability to seek variances from the Board of Adjustments and Appeals and administrative waivers
if they can not comply. There was also Chapter 34 Article 10 Beneficial Use Process, which was
a process available to property owners who believe that all beneficial use of their property has
been denied by application of our Land Development Regulations. In that case, City Council can
provide relief from regulations instead of the property owners going to court.

Member Robinson asked staff to include the intent for the different sections as well as the
different opinions from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Titusville Environmental
Commission, and staff.

Member Jordan expressed that Government should not be in the business to prevent smart
development, but instead should work with developers to preserve as many trees as possible
without making it mandatory. Member Jordan expressed he would like to stick to what council
originally asked for, which was mandatory preservation/increase penalties for “untouchable”
trees, and determine the definition of “untouchable” trees. Member Jordan clarified that he can
not support anything that gets in the way of smart development.

Council asked for clarification on the definition of clear cutting. Community Development
Director Peggy Busacca explained that it was an agricultural term and that in the current code,
clear cutting was prevented.

Member Jordan suggested giving the administrators more leeway to make decisions, instead of
making the developer go through the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, to make it cheaper and
easier on the developer.

Mayor Diesel expressed that staff and council need to all interpret and understand the ordinance
to prevent confusion now and in the future.

Member Stoeckel reviewed with Development Director Peggy Busacca the main issues that staff
needs council to give their intent on, including untouchable trees, heritage trees, canopy
percentage, mitigation requirements, incentives, and waivers and appeals.

Vice-Mayor Nelson stated that all of the ordinances in the packer were well written.

Public Comment –

Kay St. Onge spoke for the Titusville Tree Team. She read from a prepared statement that
reviewed her concern with clear cutting, removal of heritage trees, and who was hearing the
appeals. Ms. St. Onge asked for clarification on what type and size of tree was considered a
heritage tree. She asked council to preserve at least 25% of trees for the sake of the Indian River
Lagoon.

Nathan Slusher asked if it was necessary to create new laws because what if we required trees to
be added to a development and the trees were to die in the future. Mr. Slusher asked if there was
some kind of follow up Council could do after five to ten years. Mr. Slusher suggested council
could just ask the people to protect the trees, instead of making it a legal matter.

Dwight Severs, the chairmen of the Planning and Zoning Commission, expressed to council that
he was available for any questions or issues. Mr. Severs explained that the Planning and Zoning
Commission listened to the developers as well as the people who want to protect the trees and
came up with a compromise. Mr. Severs stated that staff’s version of the ordinance needed more
clarity and that the Planning and Zoning Commission tried to accomplish this through their
recommendations.

William Klein stated that eliminating tree canopies increased the temperature 10-15 degrees. Mr.
Klein expressed that the critically poor condition of the Indian River Lagoon was caused by
developments that cut down trees and filled in wetlands. Mr. Klein stated the algae bloom and
lack of seagrass caused the starvation of over 300 manatees in Brevard. He asked council to
protect existing trees, and require 40-60% of tree canopy in Titusville.

Kim Rezanka, from the Law Firm Lacey Lyons Rezanka, asked for the public purpose of the
ordinance. She stated that City Council should have the final say of the ordinance. She expressed
that going from a four-page ordinance to a twelve-page ordinance was over regulation. She asked
that staff add back section D related to the sketch plat because of the engineering cost required
for the sketch plat. Ms. Rezanka stated that a vocal minority asked for these changes and it is
unfair to many property owners.

Marlys Breckle reminded council that trees reduced stormwater runoff and recharged the aquifer.
She explained that tree canopy over parking lots or streets helped to reduce stormwater, and that
a mature oak tree can transpire 400 gallons of water in one day. Ms. Breckles stated that trees are
an investment to Titusville, not an expense.

Troy Post, the Executive Director for the North Brevard Economic Development Zone,
expressed the concern he was hearing about this ordinance and whether it was going to apply to
commercial and industrial properties. He expressed that developers already had so many laws
and regulations they had to follow that adding more can make lots undesirable and turn people

Page 35 of 376
City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM

away from building in Titusville. Mr. Post stated that he supported the staff’s version of the
ordinance.

Matt Williams, a local Brevard County Developer, expressed that the ordinance as proposed
would prevent a lot of businesses from moving forward in Titusville because of the financial
burden.

Mary Sphar stated that she believed the ordinance needed to provide a balance between
economic and environmental concerns to prevent mitigation. She stated that staff tried to provide
a balanced ordinance that was simple, but in her opinion, it was too simple. Ms. Sphar suggest
increasing the canopy requirements and asked staff to update their ordinance.

Richard Kern, from Honeycutt Engineer, expressed his support for the Planning and Zoning
Commission’s ordinance, but supported the staff’s version of the canopy preservation
requirements. Mr. Kern suggested that Council should hear the appeals for the heritage trees
instead of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.

Patricia Weeks, the 2021 President for the Space Coast Association of Realtors, stated that she
believed private property rights need to be protected, whether it be commercial or industrial land.
She expressed that oak tree roots can be very bad for foundations, roads, and sewer systems.

Bruce Moia represented the Space Coast Homebuilders and Contractors Association. He hoped
that Council would consider adding the sketch plat back to the ordinance because of the
investment people have already made by that point. Mr. Moia explained that he would support
staff’s version of the ordinance or go back to the previous ordinance.

Council individually discussed their questions and concerns with staff.

City Manager Larese stated that staff needed guidance from Council for any adjustments they need
to make and if they are substantial, the first reading would not be ready by the Regular City Council
meeting on July 27, 2021.

Mayor Diesel stated that the ordinance needed to have an environmental and economic
compromise so that Titusville can grow while keeping trees in mind.

Member Jordan stated that he did not want to hurt the economic development with the tree
ordinance. He stated that staff was not ready to have the first reading yet and his opinion would be
to leave things how they were, and make sure the sketch plat was in the ordinance. Member Jordan
stated that he can not support the requirements on industrial or commercial developments. Member
Jordan asked Woody Rice for his opinions on the ordinance.

Page 4 of 6

Page 36 of 376
City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM

Woody Rice stated that he was one of the newest members of the Planning and Zoning
Commission. He stated that their July 7, 2021 meeting was supposed to be used to clean up the
ordinance, but instead they ended up changing things, which disappointed him. He stated that staff
needed to define the problem, which he believed was clear cutting Brookshire, a planned single-
family homes neighborhood, and residential sites. Mr. Rice stated that maybe council and staff
should make the intent to preserve canopy internal to a subdivision.

Member Stoeckel stated that she was in support of staff’s version, but was interested in the
commercial and industrial requirements and would need to see a map to decide if it was needed or
should be eliminated. Member Stoeckel stated that she would like to include Section 12D related
to the sketch plat and would like Council to hear waivers and appeals.

Mayor Diesel stated that Community Development Director Peggy Busacca did a great job and
asked what her time frame would be to finish this ordinance. Ms. Busacca stated that staff should
be able to complete the ordinance in two weeks and present it at the regular City Council Meeting
on August 10, 2021. She suggested tabling the first reading to August 10, 2021 and tabling the
public hearing to August 24, 2021.

Vice-Mayor Nelson stated that the staff’s version of the ordinance was the easiest to follow. She
agrees with adding the sketch plat and believes the wetlands only getting 50% credit was low.
Vice-Mayor Nelson also wanted Council to approve waivers and appeals and the administrators
could give out extra waivers. Vice-Mayor Nelson stated she would like to preserve the heritage
trees when able, with incentives.

Member Robinson stated that council needed to decide what Titusville’s goals were and come to
a compromise between economic and environmental issues going into the future. Member
Robinson stated that staff’s version was the easiest to follow and council needed to decide what
the intent was and to stick to it.

Mayor Diesel thanked the people who spoke and stated that it was important for the economic and
environmental side to come together and compromise in order for Titusville to be the best it could
be in the future.

Low Impact Development (LID) - Presentation by Dr. Leesa Souto, Executive Director, Marine
Resources Council - Dr. Leesa Souto, Executive Director of the Marine Resources Council
distributed information. She discussed the poor quality and habitat health of the Indian River
Lagoon and how these matters could be improved by the use of low impact development
practices or requirements. Dr. Souto also reviewed information provided under the education tab
of the Marine Resources Council website (website address: https://savetheirl.org/education/low-
impact-development/). Dr. Souto summarized that the lagoon’s health could be improved by the
use or implementation of LID practices, which would ultimately reduce the peak-flow of
stormwater. Dr. Souto explained that peak flow caused pollution, flooding, volume, etc.

To the above, Dr. Souto advised that using LID practices would require a paradigm shift or
cultural shift in thinking. The City as an institution could influence and incentivize the use of
LID in its Codes or policies to improve the lagoon’s health and more. Thinking on these matters
differently than in the past could influence new processes. Achieving these goals would mean a
re-charged aquifer, improved soil health, encouraged redevelopment, protected floodplains,
prevented saltwater intrusion, and which ultimately increased coastal resiliency and benefitted
everyone.

To begin, Dr. Souto recommended that cities set goals before writing policy language. One
example used as a goal was protecting wellfields, which would allow re-charging of the aquifer,
etc. Additionally, Dr. Souto reviewed other government agencies, like Pinellas and Escambia
Counties, and the City of Winter Haven that were addressing LID in their Codes. She advised
that an upcoming conference would be held on these matters in Rockledge.

discuss the Indian River Lagoon. He also commented on a prior sewer spill at Sand Point Park
and his concern how these matters may have impacted the lagoon, pumping ponds, etc.

Kay St. Onge read from a prepared statement. She commented on the purpose of the Marine
Resource’s Council, stormwater runoff polluting the Indian River Lagoon, the desire to attract
others to live and work on the space coast, an unhealthy lagoon negatively impacted the
community and the environment, low impact development (LID) would allow for more
condensed housing in one area and reduced traditional development costs, etc.

City of Titusville

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council


From: William S. Larese, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance No. 18-2021 - Relating to Review of Lot Splits and Flag
Lot Approvals
Department/Office: Community Development

Recommended Action:
Conduct the second reading and public hearing of Ordinance No. 18-2021 amending the Land
Development Regulations to delete provisions related to lot splits and amend provisions related to
flag lots by amending Chapter 30 “Development Standards” specifically amending Sections 30-140
“Flag lots” and 30-237 “Public streets and private roads in subdivisions”, Chapter 34 “Procedures”,
specifically renaming Article III “Subdivisions” Division 2 “Lot Split”, renaming and amending Section
34-113 “Lot split qualifications”, deleting Sections 34-111 “Intent”, 34-112 “Application” and 34-114
“Approval”, amending Chapter 34 “Procedures” by amending Sections 34-126 “Intent”, 34-143
“Small-scale plat qualifications”, and 34- 214 “Application classifications and review schedules”,
amending Chapter 37 “Definitions” by amending Section 37-1 “Definitions” and amending
“Development Review Procedures Technical Manual” by deleting Section 8 “Lot Split”, providing for
severability, repeal of conflicting ordinances, effective date and incorporation into the code.

This ordinance was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their
meeting on July 21, 2021 and recommended approval, 5-2. The members that did not
vote in favor of the approval said the ordinance change did not resolve the problem.

Summary Explanation & Background:


At the request of a citizen, the Titusville City Council approved advisability for staff to review the
City's land development regulations related to lot split approval.

The lot split process is the review and approval of the creation of two (2) lots from one (1)
existing lot to ensure that both new lots meet the requirements of the Code. Pursuant to
Florida Statutes, the creation of three (3) or more lots is a subdivision and the code contains
requirements for these situations. The staff is recommending removal of the current lot split
process because there is no mechanism to ensure that lots splits are reviewed by the City prior
to recording of the deeds with the Clerk's Office.

Generally staff becomes aware of a lot split when a development permit is requested for the
subject parcel and works with the owner to address any issues that arise. The existence of the
current code has, in some cases, hindered permitting for proposed development by requiring

Page 109 of 376


City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
two property owners to go through the lot split process after the fact.

Flag lot requirements are not being changed, although references to flag lots are being
amended as the code currently references flag lots in the lot split provisions.

Alternatives:
1. Adopt the ordinance as written.
2. Adopt the ordinance with changes.
3. Do not adopt the ordinance.

WHEREAS, on March 9, 2021 the Titusville City Council approved advisability for staff to

City Council Public Hearing: August 10, 2021

Prepared By: Tim Ford, Redevelopment Planner

Applicant(s): Z Development Services for Enterprise Titusville on behalf of Fischer


Pontiac-Oldsmobile Leasing, Owner

Applicant’s Request: To allow a rental car agency use within the Midtown Sub-district of
the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning district.

Staff Recommendation: Approve CUP No. 4-2021.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a rental car agency to be
located at a former new/used car sales site (Fischer Pontiac-Oldsmobile and others) located at
1026 S. Hopkins Avenue. The property is zoned Downtown Mixed Use (DMU), Midtown
Subdistrict with a future land use designation of Downtown Mixed Use. Enterprise Car Rental is
proposing to lease approximately 48,315.63 square feet or 1.10 acres + of the approximately 2.5
acre + property. The use will utilize the vacant front portion of the site with its existing car sales
office building to be used as the car rental office. The site plan shows areas for vehicle drop off,
parking spaces for employees and patrons, and a fenced area for vehicles when not rented. A
two (2) car canopy to hand wash cars is proposed to be located within the fenced area. The car
wash will not utilize any new connections to the City’s water and waste water systems. The
manual car washing will use a tank system for water supply and for waste water collection. An
existing ½ inch water service will be used to fill the water tank and all waste water collected in a
holding tank is proposed to be hauled away from the site.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a rental car agency to be located at a
vacant new/used car sales property at 1026 S. Hopkins Avenue. Section 28-107(a) of the Land
Development Regulations (LDRs) requires rental car agencies to obtain conditional use
approval in the Midtown Sub-district of the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning district. The
applicant is proposing to lease the front or east approximately 48,315.63 square feet or 1.10
acres + portion of the approximately 2.5 acre + property to operate the rental car business.

Based on discussions with the Applicant and the proposed plan, the proposed rental car agency
will utilize the existing building for an office and the existing site for vehicle drop off, employee
and customer parking, rental vehicle parking, and vehicle washing and cleaning. The former
use of the property as a new/used car sales site ideally suits the needs of a rental car agency.
Per Section 28-32, Pre-existing conditions/applicability (e) of the Downtown Mixed Use zoning
district a rental car agency use at the site has been determined to not be a change of use and
thus the property can be used as it currently exists. Any interior modifications will require
permits and inspections through the City’s Building Department. Staff supports approval of the
Conditional Use Permit for a car rental agency provided a formal site development permit is
submitted for review and approval.

City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
CUP No. 4-2019 – Enterprise Car Rental

Conditional Use Criteria


Section 34-76 of the LDRs states that before any Conditional Use is granted, City Council shall
apply the standards set forth below and shall determine that satisfactory provisions and
arrangements of the following factors have been met by the petitioner, where applicable. The
following are staff’s findings based on the CUP request.
1) Compliance with all elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff comment: The requested car
rental agency is consistent with the Downtown Mixed Use Future Land Use designation at the
specific location and with the following Future Land Use policies and Downtown Mixed Use
(DMU) District, Section 28-44 Sub-Districts Described, item (e) Midtown :

[Future Land Use Element (FLUE)] Objective 1.10: The City of Titusville shall pursue the
renewal of Downtown Titusville as the center of professional, governmental, financial and
unique retail and redevelop blighted areas through the designation of downtown Titusville
as a unique Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) on the Future Land Use Map and pursue
appropriate strategies based upon the following general factors and performance
requirements [Policies 1.10.1 - 1.10.11].
Staff comment: The retail use is consistent with the Objective and subsequent Policies of
the Downtown Land Use category.

Downtown Mixed Use Smart Code, Section 28-44 Sub-Districts Described, item (e):

“Midtown: The southern gateway into the CRA, Midtown, appears as more suburban than the
other areas. Uses which can be dual classified between commercial and industrial are located
within this area (or sub-district). The Midtown area is structured such that many of the uses are to
be validated as part of sustainability, and guide their change through design elements.
Redevelopment and new criteria will attempt to create a tighter urban environment to enhance the
core.”

“Midtown—The Smart Code Perspective: General Urban Zone consists of mixed use. In this
district, it is a heavier commercial fabric, with larger lot uses and development, such as vehicle
sales, auto repair shops, some industrial uses, and scattered older residential uses within an
urban fabric. It contains a wide range of building types more suburban in nature than urban, even
though it is adjacent to the urban core. Setbacks and landscaping are variable. Streets with curbs
and sidewalks define medium-sized blocks.”

Staff comment: The present request would have access to an arterial roadway, US
Highway 1/Hopkins Avenue, and existing potable water and sewage collection/treatment
services are available to serve the use. Additionally, the request would further the goal of
prioritizing commercial infill and development at an existing location designated for uses of
a compatible commercial auto/vehicle related nature.

2) Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structure with particular reference to
automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in
case of fire or catastrophe.

Staff comment: Based on information provided by the applicant, the existing parking
pavement will be striped to provide twenty four (24) parking spaces that can be utilized by
employees and customers of the site. The proposed car rental agency is estimated to

Page 3 of 5

Page 152 of 376


City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
CUP No. 4-2019 – Enterprise Car Rental

generate the need for 20 parking spaces, which can adequately be accommodated at the
site.
There is one (1) vehicular access point into the property from Hopkins Avenue, and two (2)
vehicular access points exiting the property with one on St. Johns Street and one (1) on S.
Hopkins Avenue.
The Fire Department did not express any concerns or objections to the present request.
3) Nuisance factors detrimental to adjacent and nearby properties and the City as a whole.
Nuisance factors shall include but not necessarily be limited to noise, odor, smoke, glare,
electrical interference and/or mechanical vibrations.

Staff comment: The proposed use of a car rental agency is similar in intensity and hours of
operation as the other surrounding auto/vehicle related uses. It is not likely that a car rental
agency will cause nuisance issues related to odor, smoke, electrical interference and/or
mechanical vibrations.

4) Adopted level of service for solid waste disposal, potable water, or wastewater shall not be
exceeded.

Staff comment: No new construction or addition to the existing building is proposed. The
property is already served by City potable water and sanitary sewer. Solid waste services
are presently provided to the surrounding uses and were provided to the previous uses at
the site. Specific water and sewer demands will be reviewed through the building permit
process and any deficiencies must be addressed prior to occupancy of the building for the
proposed use. As noted above the car wash will not utilize any new connections to the
City’s water and waste water systems. The manual car washing will use a tank system for
water supply and for waste water collection. An existing ½ inch water service will be used
to fill the water tank and all waste water collected in a holding tank is proposed to be hauled
away from the site. The Water Resources Department has no objection provided there are
no additional utility services added and there is no additional utility service demand created.

5) Screening and buffering with reference to type, dimensions and character.

Staff comment: The car rental agency is proposing to utilize the site as is, with no additions
or exterior modifications to the building. No landscape improvements are proposed. Nine
(9) oak trees and one (1) palm tree exist at the site and will remain.

6) Signs and proposed exterior lighting with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect and
compatibility and harmony with properties in the district.

Staff comment: Signage is permitted under a separate building permit. There are no
proposed changes to the exterior lighting.

7) Hours of operation shall be consistent with surrounding properties.

Staff comment: Enterprise Rental proposes the following operating schedule: open Monday
through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM; Saturday and Sunday, open 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The
proposed hours of operation should have minimal if any impacts to any adjacent properties.
The staff does not believe that it is necessary to propose a condition limiting hours of
operation.

City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
CUP No. 4-2019 – Enterprise Car Rental

8) Off street parking and loading area where required with particular attention to ingress and
egress.

Staff comment: The proposed rental car agency will utilize the existing parking and the
ingress/egress points for vehicles. A total of twenty four (24) parking spaces are proposed
for employees and customers which is within the 125% maximum parking requirement.
Based on the number of parking spaces and ingress/egress points, staff is of the opinion
the existing facilities are sufficient to meet the demands of the proposed facility. Two (2)
parking spaces located adjacent to the fence separating the rental car storage area from
the public parking do not provide a three (3) foot overhang to have a sixteen (16) foot parking
stall depth. These spaces will need to be either eliminated or revised to meet code.

9) Required yards and other open spaces.

Staff comment: No changes are proposed to the existing building and site. Any
modifications to the building and/or site will require the appropriate building or site plan
approvals to be obtained.
10) General compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district AND
11) Whether the proposed change is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the City.

Staff comment: The size and intensity of the proposed use is similar to the adjacent uses
and the use as a car rental agency is compatible with the existing surrounding auto/vehicle
uses. As no addition is proposed to the existing building, the scale as compared to the
neighborhood will not change.

12) Special requirements set out in the schedule of district regulations for the particular use
involved.

Staff comment: There are no special requirements listed under Section 28-107(a) Car
Rental Agencies.

RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of CUP No. 4-2021 to allow a car rental
agency at 1026 S Hopkins Avenue.

Item: F.
City of Titusville

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council


From: William S. Larese, City Manager
Subject: Right of Way Vacation (ROW) No. 1-2021 Riverside Drive - River
Palms Condominiums
Department/Office: Community Development

Recommended Action:
The applicant has requested tabling this item to the regular City Council meeting on August 24,
2021 at 6:30 p.m.

The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) considered this request at their July 7,
2021 regular meeting and tabled the item to their August 4, 2021 meeting. On August
4, 2021, the applicant requested tabling this item to the P&Z meeting on August 18,
2021. At the P&Z meeting on August 4, 2021, the members tabled this item to their
August 18, 2021 meeting as requested by the applicant.

Summary Explanation & Background:


The applicant submitted a request to vacate a portion of Riverside Drive, a public right-of-way
(ROW) in front of property located at 1805, 1815, and 1825 Riverside Drive known as the
River Palms Riverfront Condominiums development. The right-of-way contains 8,939 square
feet or 0.20 acres, more or less, and measures approximately 148.27 feet in length.

In 2007, the City entered into a development agreement with the owner of the River Palms
condominium property with the following condition:

"The Developer is to close-off the direct access from the north bound US1 travel lane to Riverside
Drive and install a right turn lane located at the traffic signal at the Titusville High School entrance
per FDOT standards. This provision is subject to FDOT approval. If the FDOT does not grant
approval, provided that the Developer has submitted all FDOT application requirements, then the
Developer shall have no obligation under this provision and the balance of the Agreement shall
remain in full forced and effect. The Developer shall not be obligated to close the access and install
the turn lane until the time of construction of the project."

FDOT did not approve a new right turn lane and instead approved minor changes to the
intersection only.

Page 166 of 376


City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM

Planning Division Staff Report

RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION (ROW) No. 1-2021


Meeting Dates: Planning and Zoning Commission: July 7, 2021

Council Public Hearing: July 13, 2021

Prepared By: Brad Parrish, Planning Manager

Applicant(s): Robert Kodsi, applicant on behalf of River Palms Riverfront Development,


LLC, owner

Staff Recommendation: Approve the request as submitted

Background
The applicant requests the vacation of a public right-of-way (ROW) in front of property located at 1805,
1815, and 1825 Riverside Drive known as the River Palms Riverfront Condominiums development. The
right-of-way contains 8,939 square feet or 0.20 acres, more or less, and measures approximately
148.27-feet in length.
Analysis
Local jurisdictions have the ability to consider requests to vacate public rights-of-way when necessary.
On October 24, 2014, the City adopted Ordinance 49-2014 to include review criteria with every vacate
request. The ordinance was adopted in response to concerns about the long term ramifications of
losing pedestrian and vehicular connections between streets. Vacating rights-of-way should be
carefully evaluated. A vacated right-of-way cannot be reversed and its loss is immediate and forever.
The City should only approve vacations if they do not result in negative impacts on the current or future
needs of the City’s vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation systems, or access to private property. If
the negative impacts can be appropriately mitigated, the City may choose to vacate the street.
Section 17-33(b) of the Code of Ordinances lists the criteria under which the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council review applications as they relate to right-of-way vacations.
The following provides review criteria and staff’s findings.
Consistency with the comprehensive plan.

The proposed vacation is consistent with the comprehensive plan and more specifically with the
following policy:

Transportation Element [TE] Policy 1.6.2: “The City may vacate street right-of-way only if it does not
prevent reasonable connection for existing and future public transit, pedestrian, and non-motorized
and motorized vehicle trips.”
The vacate request will not create a landlocked lot. The staff does not anticipate the use of the
subject right-of-way for future public transit. Sidewalks will be installed in the vacated right of way.

City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
ROW No 1-2021

(1) Benefit of the public, future needs, and environmental impacts. This request proposes to vacate
three 20-foot wide rights-of-way owned by the City that does not serve any apparent public
purpose.
In 2007, the City entered into a development agreement with the owner of the River Palms
condominium property with a condition that the subject right of way be vacated.
Specifically, Exhibit B condition No. 6 states,
“The developer is to close off the direct access from the north bound US 1 travel lane to
Riverside Drive and install a right turn lane located at the traffic signal at the Titusville
High School entrance per FDOT standards. The provision is subject to FDOT approval.
If the FDOT does not grant approval, provided that the developer has submitted all
FDOT application requirement, then the developer shall have no obligation under this
provision and the balance of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The
development shall not be obligated to close the access and install the turn lane until the
time of construction of the project.”
The FDOT did not approve a new right turn lane and instead approved minor
changes to the intersection only.
(2) Access to publicly accessible waters. The rights-of-way do not provide access to a publicly
accessible body of water.
(3) Impacts to utilities, access, and adjacent properties. An application requires the submittal of a letter
from each utility agency with a potential interest in the right-of-way. The Applicant received letters
from the following agencies:
a. FLORIDA CITY GAS signed an easement document with the applicant dated March 31, 2021.
b. FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT signed an easement document with the applicant dated
December 15, 2020.
c. AT&T did not object to the vacate request [Letter dated December 12, 2020].
d. SPECTRUM – did not object to the vacate request [Letter dated November 23, 2020].
e. CITY OF TITUSVILLE WATER RESOURCES stated the following [comment dated April 28,
2021]: Approval will be conditioned on COT Council’s approval of the necessary easements
for the existing water and sewer mains in this area. The vacation would not be recorded until
we have accepted the easements. The easement documents that were submitted by the
applicant need to be re-executed.
f. CITY OF TITUSVILLE PUBLIC WORKS stated that there is an FDOT stormwater pipe located
within the vacated area. An easement to FDOT will be required for approval [comment dated
April 29, 2021].
(4) Adverse impacts to historic areas. This request will not negatively impact any historically
designated areas.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the above findings, the staff has no objection to the request to vacate a portion of riverside
Drive as illustrated with the following conditions:

1. That drainage and utility easements are provided over all existing water, sewer and drainage
facilities in the area to be vacated together with easement to access these areas.
2. In the event that compliance with the conditions set forth herein is not achieved within one-
hundred eighty (180) days of the date of approval of this vacation, this resolution shall become
null and void.

Item: A.
City of Titusville

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council


From: William S. Larese, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance No. 14-2021 - Low Impact Development (LID)
Department/Office: Planning

Recommended Action:
This item has been withdrawn by staff and will be rescheduled for a meeting in September.

Summary Explanation & Background:


On August 25, 2020 the City Council approved advisability for staff to develop an ordinance
encouraging Low Impact Development through incentives. LID design standards are described
in Policy 4.1.4 of the Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan as "site design,
engineering, and stormwater management designs and retrofits that reduce run-off, mitigate flood
impacts, and provide for the on-site absorption, capture, and reuse of rain water.
Low Impact Development strategies include design approaches for managing stormwater runoff and
protecting water quality which reduces the ecological burden of development on the Indian River
Lagoon and other local waterbodies.

Item: B.
City of Titusville

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council


From: William S. Larese, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance No. 20-2021 - Tree Protection
Department/Office: Community Development

Recommended Action:
Conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 20-2021 amending the Land Development
Regulations to provide for standards of tree protection including the designation of protected trees,
creation of total canopy and preserved canopy requirements, standards for removal of heritage
trees, establishment of incentives to preserve trees and reduce mitigation, and amending critical root
zone, tree survey and buffer yard requirements, by amending Chapter 30 “Development Standards”
specifically amending Sections 30-31 “Intent”, 30-32 “Criteria for removal”, 30-33 “Relocation or
replacement of trees” 30-34 “Mitigation plan”, 30-35 “Exceptions”, 30-39 “Tree removal, permit
required”, 30-40 “Tree survey required before permit” 30-324 “Landscape”, 30-334 “Reduction in
required landscape yards”, and 30-338 “Natural buffer yards”, and creating new Section 30-31.5
“Canopy requirements”; providing for grandfather provision, severability, repeal of conflicting
ordinances, effective date and incorporation into the code. (This is the first reading of the
ordinance. The second reading and public hearing is scheduled to be conducted by
Council on August 24, 2021 at 6:30 PM.)

The Titusville Environmental Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission
have recommended tree protection ordinances, which are including in the agenda
packet.

Summary Explanation & Background:


Based upon requests from citizens, the City began a process in 2019 to review and consider
amendments to the current tree protection requirements of the Code. During the last two
years, Council and staff have received input from members of the public and advisory boards in
the development of various ordinances. Significant efforts have been made by both the
Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Titusville Environmental Commission in working with
the public to development their recommendations, which are attached.
The proposed ordinance proposed by staff contains the following significant changes to the
Code (comparison of existing code and proposed changes attached):
Defines protected trees
Requires minimum canopy coverage, with exceptions
Allows additional flexibility for administrative waivers to save existing trees
Additional requirements related to existing trees

Page 206 of 376


City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
Mitigation requirements are modified
Modifies payment in lieu of tree mitigation
Requires permit for removal of any tree
Modifies tree survey requirements
Provides for grandfathering
Should Council desire to increase tree preservation standards without creating a minimum tree
canopy requirement, one option is to establish a percentage of heritage trees which must be
maintained on site. The City of Tampa has established that no more than thirty percent (30%)
of heritage trees may be removed for infrastructure improvements within a residential
subdivision.
In addition, the proposed ordinance reduces mitigation requirements for some trees (based on
size) in conjunction with mandatory canopy standards. Council may wish to consider NOT
changing the current mitigation requirements if minimum canopy requirements are not desired.
The grandfathering provisions include sketch plat "to the extent applicable to sketch plat."
Currently, the sketch plat does not require tree surveys, only the general location of major trees
(20 inch dbh and greater). Council may wish to consider providing further clarification to staff
on this issue.

Alternatives:
1. Conduct the first reading of the ordinance.
2. Conduct the first reading of the ordinance, and direct staff to make changes to the ordinance
prior to the public hearing.
3. Do not conduct the first reading and provide other direction to staff.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the City of Titusville, Florida as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are deemed true and correct and are hereby
adopted and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2: That Chapter 30 “Development Standards”, Article II “Environmental”,
Division 2 “Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, Section 30-31 “Intent” of the
Land Development Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 30-31. -– Intent, definitions, and general standards.
(a) Intent. This article is intended to improve and protect the environment, character and value
of surrounding properties. The provision of landscaping and the retention of natural plant
growth reduces erosion, provides natural water retention and filtration, provides shade,
buffers incompatible uses, aids in urban temperature control, provides wildlife habitat, and
improves the aesthetic quality of a community, thereby promoting the public health, safety
and general welfare.
(b) General Standards. The general standards below provide requirements for key concepts of
this Division.

Tree Ordinance - Staff Recommendation


July 2021 Page 2 of 15

Page 210 of 376


City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM

(c) Protected trees are designated as follows:


Tree Designation Species Size – Diameter at Breast Height

Significant Native or IFAS-designated Equal to or greater than fourteen


Florida-friendly (14) inches and less than twenty
(20) inches
Specimen Native or IFAS-designated Equal to or greater than twenty
Florida-friendly (20 inches and less than forty-six
(46) inches
Heritage Native or IFAS-designated Equal to or greater than forty-six
Florida-friendly (46) inches

(d) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a
CRZ:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example,
a twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter CRZ.
(e) Limited development in the CRZ is allowed as follows.
(1) Impervious surfaces are allowed in the CRZ as long as no more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the CRZ area is paved. Additional impervious surface may be approved by
the Development Review Committee when methods are utilized that would permit water
to adequately penetrate the root zone to allow the continued viability of the tree. Grade
changes within the CRZ shall not exceed a difference of three (3) inches between the
pre-development grade and the post-development grade.
(2) If new development or a grade change occurs in the CRZ, except as described in (1)
above, the tree shall be considered as being fully impacted and mitigation/replacement
as required by code shall be applied; no mitigation credit shall be allowed.
(3) The CRZ of a preserved tree may include existing impervious area(s) not adversely
affecting the viability of the tree.

(e) Development Area is the total site area less that area which will not be altered as
determined by the applicant. Land to be excluded from the Development Area may be
wetlands, drainage or utility easements, water bodies, or any other land which will not be
altered. Only land included within the Development Area may be utilized to meet required
canopy.

(1) All developments, except those exempted in (a) (3) below, shall provide tree canopy
within the development area. Minimum canopy requirements may be met through a
combination of preserved and planted trees as provided below.
(2) In the event there is insufficient canopy to meet the required minimum canopy, the
applicant shall be required to plant additional trees to meet the total canopy area
established in Section 30.31.5, Canopy requirements. Any trees planted to address a
shortfall of preserved canopy shall not receive mitigation credit.

Development Type Total Canopy as a Minimum Preserved Canopy


Percentage of Development as Percentage of
Area Development Area
Residential 25% 15%
Commercial1 15% 10%
Industrial1 15% 10%
1
In order to encourage redevelopment of existing developed commercial or industrial sites that
may not have any canopy or very little canopy, the canopy standards set forth may be reduced
by fifty (50) percent of the requirement above.

The following categories of development are not required to satisfy the canopy requirements,
but may voluntarily satisfy the canopy requirements to benefit from Section 30-34 (i), Incentives.
a. Residential lots less than one (1) acre in size that are not developed as part
of a subdivision. For those lots, the building permit plot plan shall identify
trees to be preserved.
b. Commercial development on parcels one and one-half (1.5) acres or less in
size that are legally established as of [date of ordinance].
c. Industrial development on parcels three (3) acres or less in size that are
legally established as of [date of ordinance].
d. All development in the Downtown Mixed-Use zoning district.
(b) An aerial photograph not more than one (1) year old may be utilized to determine the tree
canopy area.
(c) Undisturbed vegetated scrub habitat consisting of, but not limited to, chapman oak, scrub
oak and sand live oak, in excess of an average of thirty-six (36) inches in height shall be
considered as part of the tree canopy area.
(d) Category I invasive plant species as listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council shall not
be counted toward canopy requirements.

and any preservation areas or buffers required by zoning, conditional use permit, master
plan, planned development or development agreement approval.
(4) Up to fifty (50) percent of canopy areas containing preserved trees may be forested
wetlands provided the wetlands are free of invasive species.
(5) Canopy areas may contain passive recreation areas, boardwalks, trails, decks and
paths as long as these areas are pervious and will not cause damage to the CRZ as
required in Section 30-31, Intent, definitions and general standards.

Section 4: That Chapter 30 “Development Standards”, Article II “Environmental”, Division 2


“Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, Section 30-32 “Criteria for removal” of the
Land Development Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to read as follows:

below.
(1) Trees located in a portion of a lot or parcel in which a building, driveway, sidewalk,
retention area or accessory structure will be constructed where redesign to avoid tree
removal is not feasible. When feasible the developer may employ alternative
construction techniques, including the use of low-impact development (LID)
techniques, such as pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree
wells, to preserve trees.
(2b) Trees located with their critical root zone in such close proximity to buildings,
driveways, sidewalks, or accessory structures that they prevent the property
development of the lot or parcel.
(3) Trees that are deemed to be hazardous to persons or property, as determined by an
evaluation of a certified arborist or a Florida licensed landscape architect or certified
nursery professional;
(4) Trees which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries,
which pose a threat to the welfare of the general public as determined by an arborist,
landscape architect or certified nursery professional. The permit fee will be waived in
these cases.

(5) Tree removal activities authorized and preempted by state or federal law or regulation,
which include, but are not limited to:
1. Removal of trees on trees on residential property which pose danger to persons or
property in accordance with Section 163.045, F.S., for which no permit or replacement
tree will be required.
2. Removal of trees by an electric utility to clear trees away from power lines in order to
ensure the safe transmission of electricity to customers, as provided by Florida Statutes
and Electric Tariff Rules, including the preemption under Section 163.3209.
(b) Sufficient evidence in the form a written statement must be provided to the Administrator to
substantiate the need for any tree removal.
(c) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a
CRZ:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example, a
twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter CRZ.
(d) Trees, which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries, which
pose a threat to the welfare of the general public. The permit fee will be waived in these
cases.
(ec) If after consideration of the above criteria, tree removal cannot be avoided, the
Administrator is authorized to grant reduction to the setback regulations applicable, for all
non-single-family residential uses, up to twenty-five (25) percent of the required setback in
order to avoid the removal of the protected tree. However, no setback shall be reduced to
less than the required fire separation for the proposed structures of the proposed.
(d) Shredding, chipping and/or off-site wood logging is desired method for removing vegetation
from the site. On-site burning of removed vegetation is prohibited.
(e) Heritage trees may be removed if approved by the Development Review Committee,
utilizing the criteria in (a) above and the following criteria:
(1) Whether the project can be reasonably reconfigured to preserve the heritage tree(s);
(2) Whether a reduction of required setbacks, buffers, road width or other code requirement
by the Development Review Committee, would be sufficient to preserve the heritage
tree(s);
(3) Whether alternative construction methods, including the use of low-impact (LID)
techniques such as pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree wells,
can be utilized to preserve the tree;
(4) Other site specific conditions as may be presented by the applicant.
(5) Any appeal to the decision of the Development Review Committee shall be heard by the
City Council. Any applicant that is aggrieved by the decision of the Development
Review Committee may file a written appeal within thirty (30) days after the decision in
dispute, accompanied by the appropriate fee. Appeals shall be filed with the City and
shall state fully the grounds for the appeal and all facts relied upon by the petitioner.

(c) General standards. The general standards below provide mandatory requirements for key
concepts of this Division.
(d) Protected trees are designated as follows:
Tree Designation Species Size – Diameter at Breast
Height

Significant Native or IFAS-designated Greater than fourteen (14)


Florida-friendly inches and less than twenty
(20) inches
Specimen Native or IFAS-designated Equal to or greater than
Florida-friendly twenty (20 inches and less
than thirty-three (33) inches
Heritage Native or IFAS-designated Equal to or greater than thirty-
Florida-friendly three (33) inches

(e) Critical root zone (CRZ) is calculated as follows for the CRZ of specimen and heritage trees.
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade (dbh).
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the radius of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example, a twenty-
five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot radius CRZ.
(4) The Administrator reserves the right to determine a different CRZ for individual trees
based upon site specific conditions to ensure viability of the tree within site specific
development constraints.
(f) Internal critical root zone (ICRZ) means the inner circle that is half of the CRZ area. If this
area is impacted, it would cause significant impact to the tree and would be potentially life
threatening. [ Source: Urban Forestry Services, Inc.]
(g) For significant trees, the root protection zone shall be determined by the drip line of the
tree.
(h) For palm trees, the root protection zone area shall be 25 square feet and have a radius no
less than two feet.
(i) Except for tracts designated for tree preservation, limited development in the CRZ is allowed
as follows.
(1) No impervious surfaces or grade changes are allowed in the ICRZ.
(2) Impervious surfaces are allowed inside of the CRZ and outside of the ICRZ as long as
no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the CRZ is paved. Grade changes within the
paved area shall not exceed a difference of three (3) inches between the pre-
development grade and the post-development grade. No impervious surfaces shall be
permitted within the existing dripline.

(3) If any development or a grade change occurs in the CRZ with the exception of the
twenty-five percent (25%) threshold, then the tree shall be considered as being fully
impacted and mitigation/replacement as required by code shall be applied; no mitigation
credit shall be allowed. However, in the event that Developer is able to provide
additional tree survival mitigation measures to the city, then the tree may be considered
as preserved.
(4) The CRZ of a preserved tree may include existing impervious area(s) not adversely
affecting the viability of the tree.

Section 2: That Chapter 30 “Development Standards”, Article II “Environmental”, Division 2


“Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, of the Land Development Regulations of
the City of Titusville is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered Section 30-31.5

be demonstrated and measured through Tree Protection Areas. Minimum canopy
requirements may be met through a combination of preserved and planted trees as
provided below.
(2) If the applicant is not able to provide the full minimum Tree Protection Area
Consisting of Preserved Trees due to either a shortage of existing tree canopy or
distribution of the existing tree canopy, the applicant shall provide as much
preserved canopy as feasible and meet the Total Tree Protection Area requirement
through the use of planted trees. Any trees planted to address a shortfall of
preserved canopy shall not receive mitigation credit.

consistent with provisions of paragraph (e), below.

Tree Ordinance – Final P&Z Recommendation


July 7, 2021 Page 7 of 18
Page 240 of 376
City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM

(1) Trees located in a portion of a lot or parcel in which a building, driveway, sidewalk,
retention area or accessory structure will be constructed where redesign to avoid tree
removal is not feasible possible. The developer shall employ alternative construction
techniques, including the use low-impact development (LID) techniques, such as
pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree wells, to save specimen
and heritage trees where preservation is possible.
(2b) Trees located with their critical root zone/dripline area (depending on tree size and
species) in such close proximity to buildings, driveways, sidewalks, or accessory
structures that they prevent the property development of the lot or parcel.
(3) Trees that are determined to be a danger to an existing structure or for which the
thresholds for limited development within the critical root zone (as defined in Section
30-31) are exceeded.
(4) Trees, which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries,
which pose a threat to the welfare of the general public as determined by an arborist,
landscape architect or certified nursery professional. The permit fee will be waived in
these cases.
(5) Tree removal activities authorized and preempted by state or federal law, which
include, but are not limited to:
1. Removal of trees on trees on residential property which pose danger to persons or
property in accordance with Section 163.045, F.S., for which no replacement tree will be
required.
2. Removal of trees by an electric utility to clear trees away from power lines in order to
ensure the safe transmission of electricity to customers, as provided by Florida Statutes
and Electric Tariff Rules, including the preemption under Section 163.3209.

(b) Sufficient evidence in the form a written statement must be provided to the Administrator to
substantiate justify the need for any tree removal.
(c) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a
CRZ:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example, a
twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter CRZ.
(d) Trees, which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries, which
pose a threat to the welfare of the general public. The permit fee will be waived in these
cases.
(ec) If after consideration of the above criteria, tree removal cannot be avoided, the
Administrator is authorized to grant reduction to the setback regulations applicable, for all
non-single-family residential uses, up to twenty-five (25) percent of the required setback in
order to avoid the removal of the protected tree. However, no setback shall be reduced to
less than the required fire separation for the proposed structures of the proposed.

(d) Shredding, chipping and/or off-site wood logging is desirable. On-site burning of removed
vegetation is prohibited.
(e) Heritage trees may only be removed if approved by the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals, utilizing the following in their consideration of the request to remove such trees:
(1) The impact of the proposed development on the impacted tree(s), as shown by a survey
or scale drawing of the subject property accurately depicting the location of the tree,
including the critical root zone.
(2) Whether the project can be reasonably reconfigured to preserve the heritage tree(s);
(3) Whether a reduction of required setbacks, buffers, road width or other code requirement,
as approved by the Administrator would be sufficient to preserve the heritage tree(s);
(4) Whether alternative construction methods, including the use of low-impact (LID)
techniques such as pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree wells, can
be utilized to preserve the tree;
(5) Whether the tree is dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other natural
injuries, as determined by an evaluation of a certified arborist or a Florida licensed
landscape architect (in such case, the fee for the TEC review shall be waived);
(6) The tree is deemed to be hazardous to persons or property, as determined by an
evaluation of a certified arborist or a Florida licensed landscape architect;
(7) The tree will interfere with utilities that cannot feasibly be relocated;
(8) Other site specific conditions.
(9) Any appeal to the decision of the Titusville Environmental Commission shall be heard by
the City Council. Any applicant that is aggrieved by the decision of the Titusville
Environmental Commission may file a written appeal within thirty (30) days after the decision
in dispute, accompanied by the appropriate fee. Appeals shall be filed with the City and
shall state fully the grounds for the appeal and all facts relied upon by the petitioner. The
City Manager shall schedule the appeal for the consideration of the City Council within sixty
(60) days of receipt of the appeal.
(f) Specimen trees may only be removed if approved by the Administrator, after a site visit
and report by the city arborist. The Administrator shall consider the following factors in deciding
whether to grant or deny the application to remove a specimen tree.
(1) The impact of the proposed development on the impacted tree(s), as shown by a survey
or scale drawing of the subject property accurately depicting the location of the tree,
including the critical root zone;
(2) Whether the project can be reasonably reconfigured to preserve the specimen tree(s).
Reasonably reconfigured includes altering the proposed placement, orientation, or
height of any building or structure; and relocating roads, ponds or vehicle
accommodation areas.
(3) Whether a reduction of required setbacks of the project or vehicle accommodation areas
including required parking areas, as approved by council, would be sufficient to preserve
the specimen tree(s);
(4) Whether alternative construction methods can be utilized to preserve the tree;
(5) The cost of utilizing any alternative construction methods and the reduction in use and
value of the proposed project necessary to save the tree

follows:
Sec. 30-34. -– Mitigation Plan and Incentives to Preserve Trees and Reduce Mitigation.
(a) As a condition of granting a permit, the applicant is required to prepare a Mitigation Plan for
all major trees (measuring twenty (20) inches dbh or more) which providing for replacement
of protected trees are designated for removal. Said plan shall provide for a two-to-one
replacement based on tree caliper (i.e. if a twenty-two-inch dbh tree is being removed a
total of forty-four (44) inches dbh shall to be replanted on the site). as provided below.
(1) Significant tree – thirty-three percent (33%) mitigation replacement based on trunk dbh
(2) Specimen tree – one hundred percent (100%) mitigation replacement based on trunk
dbh
(3) Heritage tree – two-hundred percent (200%) mitigation replacement based on trunk dbh,
(b) All replacement mitigation trees shall be depicted on the mitigation plan with identification of
the type of tree. Replacement/mitigation trees shall be a native species of a similar type to
those removed, i.e. coniferous trees shall be replaced with coniferous trees. The
replacement/mitigation tree plantings shall be in addition to any landscape planting required
by the City Code.
(c) The mitigation plan shall include designation of any proposed relocation area(s).
(d) Mitigation plantings are permitted within preserved and planted canopy areas. Caliper
inches planted above the minimum size for canopy areas and required landscape areas
may be credited toward mitigation planting requirements.
(d) The mitigation plan shall include a list of all protected trees proposed for removal and a list
of all protected trees to be preserved.
(e) Alternatively, the applicant may in lieu of replanting, as set forth in Section 30-35 (a)
preserve native vegetation on the site consisting of at least one hundred (100) square feet
per tree caliper inch lost mitigation inch required. The preservation of native vegetation shall
be in addition to any preservation areas or landscaping required by the Titusville LDRs, with
the exception of preserved wetlands and natural buffer areas which may be counted as part
of preserved area credited toward mitigation. This mitigation credit shall not be given for
preserved or planted tree canopy areas. Native vegetation preservation credit may be
allowed in preserved forested wetlands up to 100% of the total required mitigation inches.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the City of Titusville, Florida as follows:

SECTION 1: That Chapter 30, “Development Standards” Article II. “Environmental”,


Division 2 “Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, Section 30-31 “Intent” of the
Land Development Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to reads as follows:
Sec. 30-31. -– Intent and definitions
Intent. This article is intended to improve and protect the environment, character and value of
surrounding properties. The provision of landscaping and the retention of natural plant growth
reduces erosion, provides natural water retention and filtration, provides shade, buffers
incompatible uses, aids in urban temperature control and improves the aesthetic quality of a
community, thereby promoting the public health, safety and general welfare.
(a) Protected trees are designated as follows:
(1) Significant tree – a native or IFAS-designated Florida-friendly tree with equal to or
greater than six (6) inch dbh, but less than twenty (20) inch dbh
(2) Specimen tree – a native or IFAS-designated Florida-friendly tree with equal to or
greater than twenty (20) inch dbh, but less than thirty-two (32) inch dbh
(3) Heritage tree – a native or IFAS-designated Florida-friendly tree WITH equal to or
greater than thirty-two (32) inch dbh
(b) Critical root zone (CRZ). In general, determination of a CRZ is as shown below. .:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter radius of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example,
a twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter radius CRZ.
(4) The Administrator reserves the right to determine a different CRZ for individual trees
based upon site specific conditions to ensure viability of the tree within site specific
development constraints.
(c) A tree tract is a separate tract of land that is specifically set aside within a development for
the purpose of preserving and planting trees. Tree tracts are not contained within a
residential lot of a subdivision. The purpose of these areas for preserving and planting
trees is stated on the face of the plat with sufficient language to ensure legal protection.
(d) A tree preservation easement is an easement within a property for the purpose of
preserving and planting trees. This purpose is stated on the face of the deed with sufficient
language to ensure legal protection.

(f) Canopy coverage means the aerial extent of ground within the dripline of the tree.
(g) An area of tree canopy is an area of at least 75% existing tree canopy coverage and/or
expected tree canopy coverage within five (5) years of planting. Undisturbed vegetated
understory in excess of an average of twenty-four (24) inches in height associated with
existing trees shall be considered as part of an area of tree canopy. Areas of tree canopy
may contain passive recreation areas, boardwalks, trails, decks and paths as long as these
areas are pervious and will not cause damage to critical root zone of any tree.
(h) Area of Alteration is the total site area less than area which will not be altered as
determined by the applicant. Land to be excluded from the Area of Alteration may be
wetlands, drainage or utility easements, or any other land which will not be altered. Only
land included within the Area of Alteration may be considered part of the Tree Protection
Areas, or receive any credit for preserved tree canopy.

SECTION 2: That Chapter 30, “Development Standards” Article II. “Environmental”,


Division 2 “Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, Section 30-32 “Criteria for
removal” of the Land Development Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to
read as follows:
Sec. 30-32. - Criteria for removal.
(a) Except for specimen and heritage trees, a tree located in a portion of a lot or parcel in
which a building, driveway, sidewalk, retention area or accessory structure will be
constructed where redesign to avoid tree removal is not feasible.
(b) Trees with their critical root zone in such close proximity to buildings, driveways, sidewalks,
or accessory structures that they prevent the property development of the lot or parcel or is
determined to be a danger to an existing structure. Sufficient evidence must be provided to
the Administrator to substantiate the need for any tree removal.
(c) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a

the tree survey; include regulations that made sense; review parking spaces to allow less pavement;
include administrative reductions; increase penalties for removal of a protected tree; include more plan
developments, address clearcutting, etc.

Community Development Director Busacca anticipated staff preparing the ordinance by approximately

City of Titusville

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council


From: William S. Larese, City Manager
Subject: American Rescue Plan Act - Low Income Housing Tax Credit
Development Application Funding Request
Department/Office: Neighborhood Services

Recommended Action:
Provide direction on the allocation of American Rescue Plan Act funds for the proposed Forest
Glen low-income housing tax credit housing project located at 2001 South Street.

Summary Explanation & Background:


On July 13, 2021, City Council approved the Neighborhood Services Department portion of
the City's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant program. This approval included allocating
$460,000 for affordable housing developments that include a homeless element for set-aside
units.

Subsequent to the aforementioned July 13th meeting, the Neighborhood Services Department
received a request for funding from an affordable housing developer who is applying for the
annual Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC) program, for the vacant property located at 2001 South Street. The developer, in their
application, is seeking the Local Government Areas of Opportunity Designation and Goal,
which requires a commitment from the City in the form of a grant or loan of $460,000.00 at
application, demonstrating its high level of interest in the project. Although the Local
Government Areas of Opportunity Designation is not a requirement to apply for the tax credit
program, it provides the project a preference for the tax credit funding over non-opportunity
designations. It should be noted that the City is open to accepting applications for projects
through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC) program at any time. Currently, the requested project is the only application which has
been made to City.

The Forest Glen development proposal indicates that the development, when complete, would
consist of ninety (90) units for low-income households making up to 80% of the area median-
income consisting of one, two, and three bedroom options, as well as ten percent (10%) of the
units set-aside for those individuals or families meeting the HUD definition of homeless.

If approved by Council, staff would commit $460,000.00 of the City's ARPA grant funds to this
project, which would preclude staff from entertaining other affordable housing development

Page 288 of 376


City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
projects for funding consideration under the City's current ARPA budgeted program.
However, should the application not be accepted or be funded by the FHFC, the commitment
will become null and void, and the Neighborhood Services Department will advertise the
availability of the funds for the same purpose through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
(FHFC) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The applicant is aware that final
approval of these funds will be based upon review by a third party auditor review for compliance
with ARPA guidelines.

Funds committed under this action would not be transferred to the Developer until successful
completion of the project on or before the ARPA expenditure deadline. The funding would be
provided through a local development agreement requiring a minimum of a twenty-year
affordability period (lien) to ensure that the project remains its intended use during that
timeframe. At the end of the twenty-year affordability period, the City would received repayment
in full of its investment, which in turn would be regenerated back into affordable housing
programs.

The Neighborhood Services staff has reviewed the Forest Glen proposal, and finds that it
meets the intent of the current American Rescue Plan Act program guidelines, as well as the
City's housing goals and objectives found in its Community Development Block Grant and
Five-Year Strategic Plan.

Staff is seeking Council's direction on the commitment of its full $460,000.00 ARPA affordable
housing set-aside funds for this project, and authorization for the City Manager to execute the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation Local Government Verification of Contribution- Loan
Form, if approved.

Alternatives:

changes
Do not approve or authorize commitment of funding as requested

From: William S. Larese, City Manager
Subject: Historic Property Ad Valorem Property Tax Exemption Code
Amendment
Department/Office: Community Development

Recommended Action:
Provide advisability on amending the Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Code to be
consistent with the Florida Administrative Code Rule 1A-38.003 (1) Application for
Exemptions.

Summary Explanation & Background:


It has been brought to staff's attention that the City's Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption code requiring applications for historic property ad valorem tax exemption be
submitted prior to any work being started is not consistent with the Florida Administrative Code
1A-38.003 (1) Application for Exemption. The Florida Department of State was directed by the
Florida Legislature in Section 196.1997 of the Florida Statutes to adopt rules for the
implementation of ad valorem tax exemptions for historic properties. The rule on the submittal
of applications was revised to permit the submittal of applications for historic property ad
valorem tax exemption either before, during or upon completion of the improvements. Wording
was added to the Rule that strongly encourages property owners to submit applications before
construction is initiated to secure preliminary project approval.

Alternatives:
1. Direct staff to amend Section 19-207 of the Historic Preservation Code to be consistent with
the Florida Administrative Code as presented.
2. Leave Section 19-207 of the Preservation Code as is.
3. Direct staff to amend Section 19-207 with revisions.

Item: A.
City of Titusville

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council


From: Richard C. Broome, City Attorney
Subject: Conflict of interest waiver between the City of Titusville and
the Gray/Robinson Law Firm
Department/Office: City Attorney

Recommended Action:
Authorize the City to waive any conflict of interest it may have in its representation by the Law
Firm of Gray/Robinson and any of its associates regarding the American Charter Development
rezoning matter in the City of Titusville.

Summary Explanation & Background:


As you may be aware at the July 13, 2021, council meeting, Council accepted the
Engagement Letter of representation from Attorney Thomas A. Cloud of the Gray/Robinson
Law Firm. The Engagement Letter acknowledged that because of the size of its firm, the
propensity existed that they could represent a client which might present a conflict of interest in
its representation of the City. The City Attorney's Office has been informed that Attorney Paul
H. Minoff of the Gray/Robinson Law Firm has a possible conflict in its representation of the
American Charter Development, owned by Village Charter Holdings, LLC, who are attempting
to rezone property at 1927 Knox Mc Rae Drive in Titusville. They have asked the City to waive
any potential conflicts associated with their representation of this client.

The City Attorney's office has no objection to waiving any conflict of interest regarding this
matter.

Alternatives:
1.) Waive conflict of interest
2.) Don't waive conflict of interest
3) Other action deemed appropriate by Council
