Robin Singer, Planning & Community Development Director, explained staff met with the applicant to try to resolve any of the concerns addressed by Council at the January 18, 2023 City Council meeting. Staff Recommendation: “Based on Staff’s findings in response to the review criteria established for a Special Use permit, Staff recommends APPROVAL of SU.21.2109 with the following stipulations: 1. Maintain a non-climb security fence of 10 feet in height. If gated entrance is provided, then the gate must include a method of access to EMS/PD/Fire. 2. Maximum occupancy of the facility will be subject to applicable limitations of the Land Use Regulations, Florida Fire Code and Florida Building Code, but shall not exceed 27 under this approval. Should the Owners wish to increase occupancy in the future, a new special use approval will be required. The Planning Commission met in public hearing on September 15, 2021, and unanimously recommended APPROVAL of SU.21.2109, with stipulations as recommended by Staff.” Stephen Thompson, attorney for the applicant, announced he worked with staff to rectify the two concerns Council raised during the January 18, 2023 City Council meeting. The concerns, he continued, were safety and the economic impact of the adjacent properties. He said the proposal had undergone significate changes then introduced Darin Autrey, Principal Architect of Record with Zoller Autrey Architects. Mr. Autrey provided revisions to the building schematics after walkthroughs with several City staff. These revisions, he continued, was the addition of a 10-foot no-climb fence with Fire and Police Department access, panic hardware and locks, and Maglocks (electromagnetic locks) on the front door. Richard Bass, Bass Fletcher & Associates, provided his credentials then presented a Proximity Study for the property located at 1803 5 th Street West. His opinion was that the proposed institutional use would have no measurable impact, positively or negatively on surrounding property uses.

City Council Minutes – 3-22-2023 – T. Melton Page 4 of 7 Vice Mayor Kocher, Councilwoman Gonzalez Moore, and Councilwoman Coachman voiced concerns with the proposed use of the property, should there be future changes to the land use designations of the surrounding properties. Rob Perry, City Administrator, stressed the importance of keeping in mind the possibility of future redevelopment in the area. Scott Rudacille, City Attorney, explained Council’s responsibility was to ensure the Special Use permit is inline with the City’s Code of Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan, not the Redevelopment Plan. Attorney Rudacille then read the following for the record from section 3.3.2.5(g) of City’s Code of Ordinances: “Effect upon the value of surrounding properties; the use does not hinder the development of nearby vacant properties or adversely affect their economic value.” Melanie Bevan, Police Chief, explained Police Department staff recently attended a tour of the facility and requested more information from the applicant regarding security. While she hoped the information would move staff towards a formal recommendation, they were just given the additional information that morning. She did not feel that was ample time to review the information and provide Council with a formal recommendation. Attorney Thompson said following the tour with staff, he believed the applicant had made significant changes that addressed their concerns. His understanding was the additional information had been forwarded to the Police Department last week. He said the applicant agreed to 24-hour private security, which was a major concern with Police staff. Benjamin Hollins, representative for Facility Service Corporation and 1803 5th Street Land Trust DTD, explained the facility was used as a detention facility in the past and the internal controls for the front door would be locked at all times. He reiterated there would be 24-hour security on site for the safety of the community as well as the at-risk youth. Mr. Hollins said should a child not want to reside in the facility, de-escalation trained staff would be on site and if the child still wants to leave, safe transportation would be provided for them. He added the facility would be staffed by the Department of Children and Families. Discussion: Residential group home regulations, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and regions serviced by the facility. Vice Mayor Kocher asked if the Special Use Permit would run in perpetuity with the land and if the fence would be chain-link fence. Ms. Singer explained the applicant proposed chain-link fencing and the Special Use Permit would stay in effect. However, she continued, if the Comprehensive Plan or zoning district were revised and the use became non-conforming or lapsed for 12 months or more, the permit would expire. Councilwoman Barnebey voiced her concerns with the Police Department receiving the requested information that morning. Councilwoman Gonzalez Moore inquired as to the possibility of expansion in the future. Attorney Rudacille explained the applicant would need to bring an expansion request back to Council.

City Council Minutes – 3-22-2023 – T. Melton Page 5 of 7 Attorney Thompson said the applicant would be amenable to a cap of 27 occupants and could be included in the stipulations. He then reiterated that the Planning Commission and staff determined the request was consistent with the Land Development Code, met the criteria for a Special Use Permit, and approval was recommended. The public hearing was opened. Those who wished to speak were invited to the podium. Bill Sanders, 2502 Riverside Drive. Mr. Sanders stressed the need for a revised Comprehensive Plan. The public hearing was closed. Discussion: Revising Special Use Permit criteria in the future. MOTION TO APPROVE SPECIAL USE PERMIT SU.21.2109 WITH STAFF STIPULATIONS was made by Councilman Cramer and seconded by Councilwoman Gonzalez Moore. Vice Mayor Kocher inquired if a stipulation restricting chain-link fencing could be added to the stipulation. Mr. Hollins said the applicant would not agree to remove the chain-link fence, however, would agree to beautification of the fence including landscaping. Mr. Autrey provided landscaping plans to the property. Ms. Singer recommended adding the stipulation that the applicant must plant opaque landscaping on the frontage of the property to achieve a height of six feet within one year of planting. AMENDED MOTION TO APPROVE SPECIAL USE PERMIT SU.21.2109 WITH AGREED-UPON STAFF STIPULATIONS was made by Councilman Cramer and Councilwoman Gonzalez Moore agreed to the amendment as the seconder. Motion passed 5-0. The meeting was recessed at 10:33 a.m. and reconvened at 10:40 a.m. d) Planning & Community Development: Special Use Permit SU.21.2802 - PUBLIC HEARING Request for Modification of Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the Chick-Fil-A located at 4311 Manatee Ave West, Bradenton, FL 34209, Parcel ID Number 3648700056. Ms. Singer explained SU.21.2802 was originally approved with a number of stipulations at the October 13, 2021 City Council meeting. The petitioners, she continued, asked for the stipulation regarding hours of operation be removed. She explained there were traffic safety concerns during the original approval process because of drop off and pick up times for students at Jessie P. Miller Elementary School. Ms. Singer said following the approval, the applicant was apprehensive that Stipulation D, “Changes in hours of operation of drive through” could possibly result in City staff closing their drive through during certain hours. She recommended revising Stipulation D to: “Should the above measures not remedy the negative traffic impacts, the PCD Director may request that City Council review and further address traffic concerns due to the drive through.” Caleb Grimes with Grimes Galvano and representing the applicant, explained Chick-fil-A restaurants rely on drive throughs and the applicant would prefer to work through the other stipulations or remedies prior to the drive through shutting down. Attorney Grimes added the developers created 54

Keith Green, 1108 60 th Avenue West, spoke in support of new businesses in the City. The public hearing was closed. In regards to Mr. Sanders’ question, Attorney Grimes explained Chick-fil-A entered into an agreement with Manatee County to improve certain aspects of the intersection. He added the permits were issued and staff at Chick-fil-A are now working with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to complete the small section of the intersection under their purview.
