CRA AGENDA ITEM
DISCUSSION: Proposed changes to RB Zoning District
Attached you will find Article VIII - Residential Business (RB) District as currently written in the current Land Development Code. We've also attached a zoning map for your use through this discussion.
As you can see under Section 60-292, the only uses allowed in this district is Single Family residences; Professional Offices and Tourist home, bed & breakfasts.
There are some uses within the downtown district that could be considered as additional uses such as beauty salons, small retail shops, etc. Our land development code already has safeguards in place to protect lesser uses from intrusion (noise, traffic & odor).
It is recommended that the CRA consider recommending that the Land Development Code be revised to include small retail shops in the RB Zoning District.

CRA AGENDA ITEM
DISCUSSION: BluRock Development Update
Attached you will find a conceptual site plan for the old high school property that is currently owned by BluRock. The existing land use is Mixed Use and zoning is residential. The compatible zoning for a Mixed-Use land use category is PD (Planned Development) which requires a minimum of two (2) uses (i.e., residential/commercial, commercial/public, etc.). People who live and work in these areas enjoy easy access to a wide range of amenities. For example, retail stores, restaurants, gas stations, offices, civic facilities, multifamily housing, parks and hiking and bike trails may all be integrated into a mixed-use property.
Other benefits of mixed-use buildings and properties include the following: Stimulating more variety in the design of and options for single and multifamily housing (which is currently a demand in Williston);
Encouraging development within dense, more compact areas of land;
Reducing traffic and pollution by allowing residents to use their cars less;
Creating pedestrian-friendly environments thanks to the short distances between living, work, commercial and recreational destinations.
Residential and commercial developers, leasing agents and tenants all benefit from such properties. Companies welcome the nearby living spaces available to their employees. Employees, in turn, enjoy the short walking or biking commute to work, banks, restaurants, health clubs and/or childcare facilities, as well as public transportation and outdoor recreation.
Mixed-use building is often the key to revitalizing otherwise underdeveloped or blighted areas. Corporations headquartered in these developments provide jobs that can fuel local economic growth as employees and their families become customers for local grocery and retail stores, movie theaters and restaurants.
The resulting tax revenue from raised property values can be put toward improvements in the development's infrastructure, which in tum stimulates more growth.
With that, the Developer is going to request a land use change from Mixed-Use
to Commercial. A conceptual plan is attached for your use.
We are encouraging the developer to be mindful of the City's desire for sustainable development and we have provided information that will assist with adherence to the Architectural Guidelines.

CRA AGENDA ITEM
DISCUSSION: Creating a CRA Downtown Performing Arts Focus Group
The best community development is community-driven. It is lead by residents and neighborhood businesses. It reflects their hopes, dreams and desires; who they are and what they want to be, both as individuals and as a community.
Community development results in development - individual development, social connections, physical transformation and economic gains. It helps residents feel better about themselves and their neighborhood. It forges connections between neighbors and with visitors from outside the community. It results in visible, physical change. There are real economic benefits for residents and businesses.
This we have learned from other communities that have successfully lead community efforts to help both people and places prosper. Now it is our turn to create a Focus Group that will assist us in this most important placemaking initiative.
It is recommended that we be allowed to recruit artistic as well as business minded folks from the community that will be an extension to this office in establishing the foundation for the future Performing Arts Center on the John Patrick property we are in the process of purchasing.
It is our thoughts to have citizens that can contribute talent in understanding funding options, the integration of artistic design, available grant opportunities, facility uses, size, etc.
This group's goal will be to work in developing a recommendation for the CRA as to the size, appearance, function and future ownership/maintenance of this facility understanding that it will need to be kept as a public facility in perpetuity and the understanding that the CRA will be reimbursed for the purchase of the property.
Staff will oversee the meetings to make sure they are properly advertised and recorded. We will lead the discussions with a very clear objective and timeframe.
The idea behind this effort is to engage artists, residents, businesses and policy makers in shaping the change that will be coming to the area and thereby
demonstrating that creative people can drive economic development and community engagement rather than to simply augment it.
The result of these efforts will allow the CRA to successfully manage change and build a stronger future, more rooted in the needs of the City of Williston and reflect the importance of the creating our sense of place.
If you agree to allowing us to create this Focus Group, we ask that a liaison be assigned to attend all meetings.

CRA AGENDA ITEM
DISCUSSION: Block 12 - Parking Lot Improvement
Burrell Engineering - Addendum to Contract
On October 23, 2019, staff (CJ, JoAnne & myself) met with Troy Burrell to outline steps moving forward in bidding the parking lot at Block 12.
Highlights of the meeting are as follows:
Sewer Permit not required from FDEP
Water Permit from FDEP valid through 2021.
SWFWMD permit - Engineering to modify the drainage calcs and resubmit to FDOT.
Minor plan revisions prior to bid
Since we are very close to having completed and updated plans it was suggested that we change the Agreement with Burrell Engineering to reflect payment on an hourly basis. This will be a more desirable way to complete the engineering phase of this project. In addition, we can request Troy Burrell's services as on-site inspection on an as-needed basis.
Upon completion of the plans, Public Works has agreed to provide the demolition and utility replacement up to the point of rough grade. Th.is endeavor should take approximately 2-3 months. Afterwards we will bid the remaining portions of this project.

DISCUSSION: Block 12 - Fa9ade Improvements
Professor Prugh has been ill and not able to complete the schematic for the fac;ade improvements. With the assistance of Mr. Lippmann, we were able to get another architect to assist us.
On November 1, 2019, JoAnne and I went to Gainesville and met with Walker Architects concerning the Block 12 Facade. They are responsible for the design of the City Hall facility and have a good idea as to the direction that the City is going in.
With that we hope to get a facade rendering so we can move forward with getting approvals from the property owners so we can move forward with the fa<;;ade grants.
