Dr. Davis and Pastor Gorini were present to discuss this matter. Chairman Bennington asked Dr. Davis if he still wanted to go for rezoning. Dr. Davis replied that they would like to request a change in the original rezoning request. He stated he had consulted with the Mayor and the City Attorney and due to the fact there is no zoning at the present time that allows a health center, that the most logical approach would be to ask that this be added as a Permitted Use in the BS zone. He further stated that he would request that the Church be allowed as a Permitted Use in the BS zone, pointing out that the surrounding property to this location is B3 which does, in fact, allow Churches as Permitted Use. Chairman Bennington stated that the Board is in the process of updating all of the Permitted Uses in the zones. BS has not been done as of yet. In checking with the County Zoning Department regarding how they regulated health spas, the only place they allow them is in their B3 - shopping center districts. Mrs. Thomas said she had no objection to adding the health spa to the BS zoning district. Chairman Bennington stated that he did not think Churches should be automatically put in BS, however, it could be added as a Permitted Use, subject to Council approval, in that there may be some businesses in the shopping center that the Church would not want to operate during certain hours, for example; each case would probably be different. Chairman Bennington advised Dr. Davis that if the Permitted Use change is approved by Council, he will still be required to bring a site plan back before the Planning and Zoning Board for approval, prior to receiving his building permit. Everything has to be brought up to Code when a change is made. Pastor Gorini questioned whether or not they have to corne before the Planning and Zoning Board if all they intend to do is put up walls inside the building, doing no alterations on the outside. Chairman Bennington stated, yes, they had to bring in a site plan showing the drainage, landscap- ing, etc. A discussion then ensued concerning Dr. Davis being required to submit a site plan for the Church part of this building, when all they will be doing is putting in walls. Chairman Bennington read from the Code wherein it states that all BS requests for a building permit must submit a site plan for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board prior to the permit being issued. Dr. Davis explained that with his contract he will.own the entire shopping center but the modifications will be done to only the Winn Dixie store. One third of the building will be the Church and the remainder will be the health spa. The move by the health spa will not be for a year or two, the Church needs the space immediately, they have outgrown their present facilities. Chairman Bennington explained to Dr. Davis that this procedure will take at least a month or more. Ads have to be run in the newspaper, public Q o hearings will be had concerning adding these items to the Permitted Uses in the B5 zoning district, contingent upon whether or not Council approves the recommendation. Chairman Bennington suggested that they use the term "health club" if the Board decides to recommend that it be added to the Permitted Use list. He further stated that Churches should be listed subject to Council approval. Dr. Davis questioned why the Church could not go in on a temporary basis until Council approves this addition to the Permitted Uses. Churches meet in the Community Center and it is not zoned for that use. Chairman Bennington stated he was not aware of that procedure being done and he did not know anything about it. None of the other Board members could offer any comments concerning allowing the Church to operate in this location on a temporary basis. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion that the presentation to the Planning and Zoning Board by Dr. Davis be referred to the Council for approval or disapproval as to zoning change in Permitted Use for church and health club in the B5 zoning district. Chairman Bennington asked Mr. Chenoweth if he wanted in his motion for the Church to be added as a Permitted Use. Mr. Chenoweth said, yes. Mr. Thomas seconded the motion. Chairman Bennington said the way the motion was made and seconded, Churches are to be listed as a Permitted Use, without Council approval. The way the motion now reads, if the Council passes the recommendation, it will be an automatic Permitted Use and will not require Council approval. Mrs. Thomas said she did not see why there would be any problem with allowing Churches in B5, they are already ~llowed in B3, she could see no problems that could arise. Mr. Chenoweth said that he felt the Churches should be listed as a Permitted Use, without requiring Council approval. Upon roll call, motion CARRIED 4-0. SITE PLAN REVIEW SP-8433 and SP-8434 - Edwin Hall/Ron Lucas - Duplexes - 2620 and 2624 India Palm Drive. Ron Lucas was present to discuss these site plans. Chairman Bennington suggested that the Board review both of them together, due to the fact that they are the same plans. Chairman Bennington said he could see nothing wrong with the site plans. He read a note from Joan Taylor in the Planning Department that the City Engineer, Mr. Ferrara, looked at these plans and said there were no problems with same. The trees and buffer are shown on the plan, setbacks are OK, square footage is OK, drain fills are shown. Mr. Chenoweth asked what the size of each duplex was, to which Mr. Lucas replied, 900 quare feet for each side. Mrs. Thomas made a motion to grant final approval to both site plans. Mr. Chenoweth seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0. NEW BUSINESS A lication for occupational license b Edward L. Looman, Sr., to 0 erate a tune-up an alignment business at 1722 Hibiscus. Edward Looman was present to discuss this application. Chairman Bennington read from the Code concerning what was allowed in this zoning district. He stated he did not see why this application came before this Board in that it is a Permitted Use in the B2 zoning district. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion to give approval to issuing an occupational license to Edward L. Looman, Sr., to operate a tune-up and alignment business at 1722 Hibiscus. Mrs. Thomas seconded the motion.
