GOOD AFTERNOON, MS. DAVIS. >> HI, GOOD AFTERNOON. JENNIFER DAVIS WITH THE CRA. THIS AFTERNOON WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD TO YOU THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH P3 REGARDING THE RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT, THE RIVER FOOD GARDEN AREA OVER IN THE PORT DISTRICT. THE SITE IS LOCATED JUST SOWT OF PSL -- SOUTH OF PSL BOULEVARD WITHIN THE PIONEER PARK SITE. GOING TO GO THROUGH A FEW OF THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT SINCE IT HAS BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU WITH THIS. SO THE AGREEMENT IS FOR THE LESSEE, P3 INVESTMENTS, TO DEVELOP A MULTIVENUE FOOD GARDEN CONCEPT CONSISTING OF ONE OR MORE STRUCTURES COMPRISING OF UP TO 15,000 SQUARE FEET, THE BENEFIT TO THE CITY WILL BE ACHIEVING A FEW OF THE CITY'S STRATEGIC GOALS WITH CULTURE, NATURE, AND RECREATION AS WELL AS DIVERSE ECONOMY AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THERE IS NO COST TO THE CITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEASE AGREEMENT ITSELF AND THE LESS-OR WILL BE RECEIVING REVENUE FROM THE PROJECT. SO THE ORDINANCE THAT APPROVED THIS BACK IN 2023 IDENTIFIED A 30-YEAR TERM FOR THE AGREEMENT WITH FOUR FIVE-YEAR RENEWAL OPTIONS BASE RENT OF $40,000 ANNUALLY, PAID WITH A 3% OR SORRY 40,000 ANNUALLY PAID MONTHLY WITH A 3% ESCALATION IN ADDITION TO PERCENTAGE RENT, AND THE LESSEE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEASED PARCEL. THE MODIFIED TERMS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU TODAY DOES MODIFY APPROXIMATELY 11 SECTIONS WITHIN THE DEFINITIONS AND THOSE ARE IDENTIFIED IN YOUR AGENDA ITEM BACKUP. IN ADDITION, THE TEMPORARY FACILITIES WAS CLARIFIED SO AS THIS PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED% THROUGH THE SITE PLAN, PROCESS IT DID COME BEFORE A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT WHICH IDENTIFIED A PHASED APPROACH SO AS SUCH WE DID NEED TO MODIFY SOME LANG LAE IN THE LEASE AGREEMENT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS SOME CLARIFICATION ABOUT A DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WITH AN EXISTING GROUND LEASE THAT HAS SINCE BEEN TERMINATED. AGAIN, MOSE OF THE OTHER CLARIFICATIONS WITHIN THE FIRST AMENDMENT HAVE TO DO WITH THE CLARIFICATION OF PHASE 1 VERSUS PHASE 2 AND THEN FINALLY, THE EXHIBIT B IS RELATED TO THE LIFT STATION, SO WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS DESIGNED AND THE LIFT STATION WAS DESIGNED IT WAS BASED ON THE PARK AND THE ORIGINAL ELEMENTS THAT WERE PRESENTED, AND AT THAT POINT, WE HAD A ABOUT A 6,000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT IDENTIFIED SO EVERYTHING WAS SIZED APPROPRIATELY. SINCE THE PARK OPENED IN 2024, WE HAVE OBSERVED THE USE FOR THE LIFT STATION WE RECOGNIZE THAT IN ORDER TO TRANSFER THIS SITE OVER TO THE LESSEE FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT HAS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY, SO WE HAVE MADE OBSERVATIONS AND DONE STUDIES TO SEE WHAT THAT NUMBER WOULD BE, SO THE CITY WILL BE ADJUSTING THE LIFT STATION TO A 550 SEAT CAPACITY, ANYTHING BEYOND THAT WOULD BE THE LESSEE'S RESPONSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE SHOULD THEY WANT TO EXPAND THEIR RESTAURANT SERVICE. SO WITH THAT, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVE ORDINANCE 26-32 FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL? >> MADAM MAYOR? >> YES. >> I JUST WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENT AND THEN ASK QUESTION. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER AND THE TEAM FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT WAS A CHALLENGE AND WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO SEE THE LIFT STATION HAVING THAT MUCH USAGE THE WAY THAT IT DID WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE IT MEANS THE PARK IS BEING SUPPORTED, PEOPLE ARE COMING, AND THE RESTAURANT ALSO IS GOING TO HELP BRING OTHERS TO THE AREA. WITH THAT, SINCE I DON'T KNOW MADAM MAYOR IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU, I DO SEE A RE-- OUT IN THE AUDIENCE. CAN YOU PROVIDE US A QUICK UPDATE WHILE HE IS HERE JUST TO TELL US THE CURRENT PROGRESS AND WHAT THE EXPECTATION TIMELINE IS? >> MAYOR: THAT'D BE GREAT. THANK YOU. >> WELCOME UP -- WITH P3. HE ALSO HAS COLE HERE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. >> MAYOR: OKAY. AWESOME. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. BATONY. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCILMEMBERS, CITY MANAGER, NICE TO SEE YOU, NICE TO BE BACK HERE. SO WE FINALLY HAVE STARTING WITH CONSTRUCTION. I DO WANT TO RE ITERATE THAT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROJECT, WHEN WE HAD A GRAND VISION AND DESPITE ALL THE CHALLENGES, WE'VE STUCK TO THE VISION. AND YES, IT'S TAKEN TIME, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S TAKEN TIME JUST BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS OF GETTING OUR PERMITS AND THEN OF COURSE AFTER THE PERMITS IT'S JUST A PROCESS WITH THE FINANCING AND THE BANKS AND WE ALWAYS TOOK THE, LIKE I SAID WE ALWAYS YOU KNOW DESPITE THE BUDGET INCREASES WE STUCK TO OUR VISION AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. SO YOU KNOW, AND IT MAY TAKE, IT MAY SEEM AS SPEAK TO JENNIFER AND FRANK AND RUSS WE'RE IN CONSTANT CONVERSATION YOU KNOW IT MAY SEEM THAT IT'S TAKING MORE TIME BUT YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT THE TYPICAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY THAT BUILD THE BUILDING AND THEN START LEASING IT OUT TO RESTAURANTS AND THEN THAT, THAT'S IT'S OWN PROCESS. WE'RE GOING WHEN WE START, WE ARE STARTING WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY TO OPENING THE RESTAURANTS. SO EVERYTHING IS YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT WE STARTED OFF WITH THE PLANS WE ARE ON IT. WE HAVE A GREAT NATIONAL OP. WE HAVE GREAT DESIGN ARCHITECTURE AND EVERYTHING IN PLACE AND MOVING FORWARD. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP VICE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER AND YOU KNOW THE CERTAIN ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP DEALING WITH AND MAKING THIS THING INTO A SUCCESS AND GETTING, YOU KNOW JUST HAVING ALL THE FINANCING IN PLACE SO SO ISSUES RELATED TO THE LIFT STATION WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE WITH ALL THEZ GREAT -- THESE GREAT PLANS WE HAVE TO BE LIMITING OUG PLANS BUT THEN WE LIMIT OURSELVES BECAUSE OF A LIFT STATION. SO I'M GLAD IT'S ALL BEEN SORTED OUT. >> SO NOW THAT CONSTRUCTION IS STARTING, JUST A QUESTION FOR -- BECAUSE EVERYONE'S BEEN ASKING ME THIS, WHEN CAN WE ANTICIPATE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION? >> SO WE HAVE JACK -- AND SONS, I WILL LET HIM TALK BUT OUR CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE WHEN THEY HAND OVER THE THING TO US IS MAY OF NEXT YEAR. >> OKAY. >> AND THEN WE HAVE THREE OR FOUR YEARS -- THREE OR FOUR MONTHS OF PREOPERATIONS WITH ATLAS YOU KNOW MAKING SURE ALL THESE BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL KITCHENS, SEVERAL BARS, SEVERAL THINGS IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW OPERATING A MASS STARTING UP A KIND OF A MASSIVE SHIP IN A WAY IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. >> SO WOULD IT BE SAFE TO SAY FALL 2027. >> WE DON'T WANT TO START IN THE SUMMER. ATLAS HAS TOLD US THEY DON'T WANT TO START IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER WHEN IT'S JUST LIKE YOU KNOW THE WEATHER ISN'T CONDUCIVE TO A NICE OPENING. SO WE'LL FIGURE OUT A NICE DATE WHEN WE ARE READY TO OPEN, AND WE'LL DO A PRELAUNCH AND YOU KNOW WE'VE STARTED WITH THE LEASE AMENDMENT WE HAVE NOW HAVE SOME PROVISIONS FOR TEMPORARY STRUCTURES. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO BE POSSIBLE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE MECHANICS WITH YOU KNOW THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM. WE DON'T WANT TO PUTTEN A PUT AE IN THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM BY HAVING SOME KIND OF TEMPORARY OPERATIONS. WE DON'T KNOW BUT WE HAVE THE PROVISION FOR IT, AND EVEN ONCE WE DO START COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS IT'S A NICE BIG PARK AND WE WANT MAKE THIS INTO A, OUR AIM IS TO TAKE MISNOW WE SWITCH FROM REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT TO MAKING IT A CULTURE OF FOOD AND FEST IFNTS AND ENTERTAINMENT. WE DO WANT TO HAVE YOU KNOW YOU WALK INTO A PARK AND YOU HAVE ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DRINK AND IS EAT EVERYWHERE WITHOUT TRUDGING TO NEW PLACES. >> PERFECT.

COUNCIL, I'M HERE TODAY GOING TO GIVE YOU ON ON AN OVERVIEW OF TE ADVANCEMENT AGREEMENT, AND TO GET THERE TODAY THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE THANKED. ELIZABETH BRETS, AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, DIANA SPRIGS, COLT SCHWARTZ WITH PUBLIC WORKS KEVIN MAD MODJAWSI. THIS PROJECT IS I THINK ONE OF THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS THE CITY'S VISION TO BE A LEADER IN FINDING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT PUT THE RESIDENTS FIRST AND SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL PEOPLE TO THRIVE. THAT IS OUR VISION AS STATED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN. THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLUTION ORIENTED AND IT SPEAKS TO THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITIES OF HIGH QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE, PLANNING ROADWAYS, IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW, EXPANDING TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. IT'S ALSO CONTINUES THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVE OF STRENGTHENING PUBLIC SAFETY BY COMPLETING ANOTHER NORTH-SOUTH SEGMENT THAT WILL RESULT IN IMPROVED ROADWAY CONNECTIVITY FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. SO I THINK THE KEY PART OF THIS IS CONNECTION. YOU KNOW WE'VE HEARD FROM OUR RESIDENTS, FROM YOU COUNCIL, STAFF TOOK YOUR MISSION AND VISION OF MAKING SURE THAT OUR ROAD NETWORK IS COMPLETED AND WE HAVE THIS AGREEMENT IN FRONT OF YOU THAT IS WILL CONNECT SUN DANCE VISTA BOULEVARD FROM CROSSTOWN PARKWAY TO DISCOVERY AND IT WILL BE ADVANCED BY 11 YEARS. AND IT RESULTS IN THE COMPLETION OF THE ROADWAY AND WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS MAP YOU SEE SOME OF THE DATES THAT WERE ALLOCATED WITHIN THE DRI AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, THE COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE TODAY IF THIS AGREEMENT GETS EXECUTED IS FOR MATTAMY TO HAVE THIS SEGMENT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BY DECEMBER 31st, 2027. SOME OF THE TERMS WITHIN THE AGREEMENT ARE THE HIGH LEVEL TERMS AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW THE TEAM IS HERE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THE CITY WILL ADVANCE UP TO $20.3 MILLION TO MATTAMY AS CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSES. THE CITY IS FUNDING THIS IMPROVEMENT WITH GFC REIMBURSEMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND. THE TIMELINE IS FIVE YEARS AFTER THE ROADWAY IS TURNED OVER TO THE CITY, MATTAMY WILL BE IMBURSEMENT THE CITY WITH INTEREST. MATTAMY'S ROLE IS MATTAMY WILL PAY ALL THE PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS INVENDORS DIRECTLY FOR THE ROAD COSTS, MATTAMY MAY THEN REQUEST ADVANCED REIMBURSEMENT TO THE CITY AND WHICH EACH OF THOSE REQUESTS FOR PAYMENTS WILL HAVE TO BE SIGNED BY AN ENGINEER OF RECORD BEFORE WE DISTRIBUTE THAT PAYMENT. ANOTHER KEY COMPONENT IS PARK RELOCATION AS YOU KNOW WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT WAYS TO ENHANCE OUR PARKS, AND SO THIS AGREEMENT RELOCATES SOUTHERN GROVE PARK 3 3 TO A LOCATION FURTHER WEST SOUTH OF BECKER ROAD AND EAST OF COMMUNITY BOULEVARD. THIS RELOCATION ALLOWS PARK PROPERTIES TO BE COMBINED TO PROVIDE A LARGER PUBLIC PARK FACILITY FOR THE COMMUNITY'S ENJOYMENT AND BENEFIT THAT WILL CREATE A MUCH LARGER SPACE NEXT TO ACR AND OTHER DEVELOPERS THAT WILL BE CONVEYING PROPERTY TO US FOR A PARK. THE CITY WILL NOT ADVANCE ROAD CONSTRUCTION FUNDS TO MATTAMY UNTIL THE RELOCATION OF THE PARK HAS OCCURRED. OR CONVEYED, EXCUSE ME. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO MOVE THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT COST ADVANCEMENT REIMBURSEMENT AND PARK RELOCATION AGREEMENT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. COUNCIL, QUESTIONS? >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT. I'M SURE OTHERS ARE GOING TO HAVE COMMENTS. I THINK FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO THANK THE STAFF, WANTED TO THANK MATTAMY, FIRST TIME THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD, THERE WAS A LOT OF CHALLENGES WITH THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST. AND I'M SO GLAD THAT WE CAME YOU KNOW, FORWARD, TO MINIMIZE THE RESIDENTIAL IMPACT TO VIRTUALLY ESSENTIALLY NOTHING. AND THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DEALING WITH ALL OF THE IMPACTS AND CONCERNS OF THE ROADWAYS THAT I KNOW THAT WE ALSO HAD WHAT WE EXPRESSED THAT DAY AND SO THANKS TO STEVE GARRETT TO MATTAMY, AND OF COURSE OUR AMAZING TEAM THAT WORKED ON THIS SO DILIGENTLY TO BRING THIS AGREEMENT FORWARD, SO THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: YES? >> SO I ECHO THAT AND I KNOW THAT THIS WAS SO VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THAT CONNECTION BECAUSE OF NOT JUST THE SCHOOL THAT IS GOING TO BE LOCATED THERE, BUT THE FIRE STATION. TO HAVE TAT THAT CONNECTION TO DISCOVERY GOING TO MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. THAT'S THE WHOLE KEY IS TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT. SO THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCILMAN BONNA, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN. >> YEAH, JUST ECHO THE COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD PARTNERS IN HELPING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD FOR OUR RESIDENTS. >> MAYOR: YEAH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REITERATE THAT IF WE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD, WITH THIS, IN THIS MANNER THAT THAT ROAD WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN CONNECTED FOR ANOTHER 11 YEARS. AND SO KNOWING THE GROWTH THAT WE HAVE OR HAVING OUT WEST AND NEEDING THAT NORTH-SOUTH CONNECTION IT IS SO IMPORTANT AND NOW OUR FIRE DISTRICT CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN FOR THE FIRE STATION OUT THERE AND WE KNOW WITH SO MUCH GROWTH THAT THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE NEEDED. AND SO THIS ROAD CONNECTIVITY IS VITALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE TEAM AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE WHO WAS PART OF THIS TO MOVE THIS FOREWORD AND ALSO THAT IT IS THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM THE GOVERNMENTAL FINANCE CORPORATION. >> MADAM MAYOR ALSO I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO ADD REALLY IT'S SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL HAS AN OPEN MIND TO TO BE ABLE TO FUND THESE TYPE OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS REALLY SO THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE ABILITY AND THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. SO REALLY FROM STAFF'S POINT OF VIEW, WE'RE WAY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE WHEN THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT BUT REALLY THIS IS A RESULT OF A CITY COUNCIL THAT STEPS OUT THERE, AND MAKES IT A COMMITMENT TO THE RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I REALLY TRULY APPRECIATE IT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 25-R12. >> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. >> WAIT, DID YOU JUST SAY R12. >> SORRY. >> JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW AND I'- >> SORRY. >> R26-29. >> YES. >> MAYOR: OKAY. 11E, RESOLUTION 25-R12. >> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITIY COUNCIL OF PORT ST.

LUCIE IN COMPLIANTS WITH LAW AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND A TERMINATION DATE. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. THIS ITEM IS QUASI-JUDICIAL. SO ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY NEEDS TO BE SWORN IN BY THE CLERK. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY, PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. [SWEARING IN] >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COUNCIL, ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS TO DISCLOSE? >> MADAM MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO DISCLOSE THAT I MET WITH THE APPLICANT, BUT THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, MY COMMENTS WERE RESOLUTION R26-R29 BE INCLUDED IN THE RECORD FOR THIS ITEM AS THEY ARE, AS MY COMMENTS WERE GOING FOR BOTH ITEMS ESSENTIALLY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> I MET WITH THE APPLICANT AND STAFF AS WELL. >> MAYOR: I DID AS WELL. >> COUNCILWOMAN MORGAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY EX PARTE? >> I'M TRYING TO RECALL BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I DID NOT MEET DIRECTLY WITH THE APPLICANT BUT I DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH, YES, I DID. HE'S SHAKING HIS HEAD YES. I DID MEET WITH STEVE. [LAUGHTER] STEVE GARRETT, SO THAT'S ON THE RECORD. >> BRIDGET BEFORE YOU GET STARTED I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLARIFYING POINT. WE HAD A FEW E-MAILS IN, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION BETWEEN THIS ITEM AND THE MMUDPD AMENDMENT SO WE SENT AN EMAIL BACK CLARIFYING THIS IS NOT THE MPUD AMENDMENT FOR THE FAIR GREEN CROSSTOWN ITEM. THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER FOR TRADITION DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT. SO IF ANYONE'S CONFUSED ABOUT THAT, THAT'S THE CLARIFICATION SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. GO AHEAD. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, BRIDGET KEEN WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. THE OFFICIAL RECORD DID GO TO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF THE HEARING, AND I AM REQUESTING THAT IT BE ENTERED INTO THE RECORD. SO THIS IS THE SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THE TRADITION DRI. THE -- AND THE APPLICANT IS MATTAMY HOMES, STEVE GARRETT WITH LUCIDO AND ASSOCIATES AND AUTUMN SORROW WITH AJ ENTITLEMENTS AND PLANNING, THEY ARE REPRESENTING THE MATTAMY AS THE MASTER DEVELOPER OF THE TRADITION DRI. AND THE TRADITION IS LOCATED WEST OF INTERSTATE 95 IT'S SOUTH OF THE CROSSTOWN PARKWAY, IT'S EAST OF NORTH-SOUTH A WHICH IS NOW SUN DANCE VISTA BOULEVARD AND IT'S ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF TRADITION PARKWAY. AND HERE'S A MAP THAT SHOWS THE LOCATION. AND I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GO THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED JUST A LITTLE REMINDER THIS APPLICATION DID GO BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL 28th, 2025, IT WAS TABLED IT WAS TABLED TO A DATE CERTAIN IN JUNE, AND THEN AT THE JUNE MEETING, THE APPLICANT REQUESTED IT BE DATED TO A DATE UNCERTAIN. NOW THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THIS APPLICATION. THEY HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES. AGAIN IT DOES -- IT STILL DOES THE SAME THINGS T. DOES AMEND THE DWELT ORDER ENTITLEMENTS, IT DOES AMEND CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, AND IT DOES UPDATE THE PROJECT PHASING, FILLED OUT AN EXPIRATION DATES, BUT THOSE ARE DUE TO THE STATUTORY EXTENSIONS. SO THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS APPLICATION AND THE APPLICATION THAT CAME BEFORE YOU IN APRIL OF 2025 IS AT THE TIME FOR THE APRIL APPLICATION IN 2025, THEY WERE PROPOSING AN INCREASE IN MULTIFAMILY UNITS BY 979 UNITS, AND THERE WAS NO DECREASE IN SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS. NOW I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE TRADITION DRI IT IS APPROVED FOR A TOTAL OF 6,000 -- 6,161 UNITS. IT'S DIVIDED BY -- INTO 4,990 UNITS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY USE, AND 1,171 UNITS FOR MULTIFAMILY USE. SO WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THIS APPLICATION, THEY ARE NOT ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL. THEY'RE JUST TAKING THE 264 UNITS THAT ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THAT SINGLE-FAMILY CLASSIFICATION AND THEY'RE MOVING IT TO THE MULTIFAMILY DESIGNATION. SO THEY'LL BE NO INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL UNITS. SINGLE-FAMILY WILL DECREASE TO 4,726 UNITS, AND MULTIFAMILY WILL INCREASE TO 1,435 UNITS. BUT AGAIN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS WILL STAY AT 6,161 UNITS SO THERE IS NO INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS APPLICATION. AND THIS JUST SHOWS YOU THE CHANGES. THEY ARE CHANGING THE SINGLE-FAMILY, THE 264 UNITS AVAILABLE, AND THEY'RE PUTTING THOSE INTO MULTIFAMILY. THEY ARE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF ASSISTED LIVING UNITS BY 110 UNITS BUT THAT'S JUST TO CATCH UP WITH WHAT HAS BEEN BREVE ISLY APPROVED. NINETY THREE CHANGES TO HOTEL ROOMS -- NO CHANGES TO HOTEL ROOMS. THEY ARE INCREASING COMMERCIAL. THEY ARE PUTTING IT UP TO 1 MILLION SQUARE FEET. BASICALLY THE WAY THEY'RE GETTING AT THIS, THEIR ARE DECREASING THEIR OFFICE ENTITLEMENTS SO THEY'RE DECREASING OFFICE TO CLOSE TO 275,000 SQUARE FEET, AND THAT WILL STILL LEAVE 353,348 SQUARE FEET FOR OFFICE USES. AND WAREHOUSE IS NOT CHANGING. WAREHOUSE THAT'S EXISTING IN THE TRADITION DRI IS THE TWO SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE. ONE ON SOUTHWEST VILLAGE, ONE'S ON CROSSTOWN, SO THERE'S NO NEW INCREASE FOR WAREHOUSE IN THE TRADITION DRI. THERE ARE SOME OTHER CHANGES THAT THEY ARE MAKING, AND AS I MENTIONED THEY HAVE A STATUTORY CHANGES THAT ALLOW THEM TO INCREASE THEIR PHASING, THEIR BUILD-OUT, AND THEIR EXPIRATION DATES. BUT WE DID WORK WITH THEM. THE CITY TEAM DID WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND THAT'S RELATED TO RECLAIMED WATER FOR IRRIGATION AS WELL AS A DONATION ADDING A DATE CERTAIN FOR DONATION OF A UTILITY SITE. THEY ALSO MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS, AND I WILL GO OVER THOSE AS WE GO FORWARD. SO THE REVISIONS TO UTILITIES, IT DOES CLARIFY THE REQUIREMENT FOR IRRIGATION TO BE PROVIDED BY A RECLAIMED WATER MAIN THAT'S RUNNING DOWN NORTH-SOUTH A IT GOES FROM SUN DANCE VISTA, IT GOES FROM CRASSTOWN PARKWAY TO THE TRADITION REGIONAL PARK SITE. THEY ARE ADDING A NEW CONDITION TO REQUIRE A RECLAIMED WATER AGREEMENT AND THAT WILL INCLUDE RESERVING 1 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY OF CAPACITY ALONG WITH LINE CHARGES AND TAKER PAY PROVISIONS AND THE THAT IS TO BE EXECUTE WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE APPROVAL OF THE SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THE TRADITION DRI T. ALSO ADDS A DATE CERTAIN. NOW THE DRI HAS ALWAYS HAD A REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO PROVIDE THE CITY WITH A UTILITY SITE THAT'S NOT LESS THAN 10 ACRES BUT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY YOU KNOW THEY DETERMINED THE LOCATION OF THE SITE WORKING WITH UTILITY DEPARTMENT AND THIS JUST PUTS A DATE CERTAIN FOR THAT THE TO BE PLATTED AND CONVEYED TO THE CITY CITY. 1-2-3 ALSO HAVE NEW OR REVISED TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS, AND THE TEAM IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. NOW THE FIRST CHANGE IS TO ADD A REQUIREMENT AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE TRADITION PARKWAY AND COMMUNITY BOULEVARD ROUNDABOUT TO BE RECONSTRUCTED TO CONFORM TO FDOT THEIR FLORIDA DESIGN MANUAL STANDARDS AS A TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUT AND THAT'S TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND OPERATIONS AND THEY Y WANT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BY APRIL 1st, 2028. AND AGAIN THE INTENT HERE IS JUST TO MODIFY THE EXISTING ROUNDABOUT TO BE SAFEST WHILE ACCOMMODATING THE INCREASED TRAFFIC, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OUT THERE. THIS IS JUST A DESIGN OF A MODERN ROUNDABOUT, AND WE DO HAVE THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION -- THIRD PARTY TRAFFIC CONSULTANT COCK WAN MA FROM KITTENSON AND ASSOCIATES IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT AND ROUNDABOUT DESIGN DESIGN. ALSO ADDS A CONDITION FOR A SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS TO BE REQUIRED FOR THE TRADITION PARKWAY AND COMMUNITY BOULEVARD ROUNDABOUT AND DAT THAT COULD BT THE CITY'S DISCRETION AND THE INTENT HERE WOULD BE TO HAVE THAT BY EACH BIENNIAL REPORT IF THE CITY DETERMINES ONE IS NEEDED. AND NOW THERE ARE NEW IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED, AND THAT'S TO THE FERN LAKE DRIVE AND WEST CLIFF LANE INTERSECTION. AND THIS IMPROVEMENT ADDS A REQUIREMENT FOR FERN LAKE DRIVE TO BE CONSTRUCTED TO WEST -- I'M SORRY, THIS IS -- I'M OFF HERE. SO THESE ARE IMPROVEMENTS TO FERN LAKE DRIVE AND WEST CLIFF LANE AND THIS JUST ADS A REQUIREMENT FOR FERN LAKE DRIVE TO BE CONSTRUCTED TO WEST CLIFF LANE AS A TWO-LANE ROAD AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PRIOR TO THE 100TH PUBLIC WORKS RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE BRINLY SUBDIVISION NOW THIS IS THAT MISSING PIECE OF FERN LAKE DRIVE THAT WILL CONNECT IT ONCE IT'S CONSTRUCTED, IT'LL NOW CETH FERN LAKE DRIVE TO WEST CLIFF. THERE'S ALSO A MISSING PIECE OF WEST CLIFF LANE THAT RUNS FROM WHERE THE ESPLENOD AT TRADITIONS FIRST THIRD ENTRANCE IS TO NORTH-SOUTH AI. THAT PORTION OF THE ROAD HAS NEVER BEEN PLATTEDDED AND IT'S NEVER BEEN CONSTRUCTED, AND THIS WILL ALSO SET A DATE FOR THAT IMPROVEMENT, AND THAT WILL BE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF THE SUN DANCE VISTA BOULEVARD FROM TRADITION PARKWAY TO CROSSTOWN PARKWAY BEING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. SO THAT KIND OF CREATES THEZ TWO MISSING PIECES OF THE ROADWAYS IN TRADITION. AND THAT DOES PROVIDE YOU KNOW ADDITIONAL ACCESS BECAUSE IT ALLOWS -- CONNECT WEST CLIFF ALL THE WAY TO SOUTHWEST VILLAGE PARKWAY. OKAY, THIS IS THE NEW REQUIREMENT THAT WAS ADDED TO THE DRI AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FAIR GREEN ROAD AND THE CROSSTOWN PARKWAY INTERSECTION. AND THIS ADDS A NEW REQUIREMENT AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE TO THIS INTERSECTION BY DECEMBER 31st, 2027, OR WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF THE PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CROSSTOWN PARKWAY AND SOUTHWEST FAIR GREEN ROAD WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. NOW THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL ADD AN ADDITIONAL TURN LANE ON CROSSTOWN PARKWAY, IT ALSO EXTENDS THE TURN LANES ON CROSSTOWN AND IT INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL RECEIVING LANE ON SOUTHWEST FAIR GREEN ROAD AND AGAIN THIS STAFF IS HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS IMPROVEMENT. OR WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. AND THIS JUST SHOWS YOU WHERE THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE, IF I CAN GET THIS TO WORK. OKAY. FORGET IT. ANYWAY, THE RED ON THE TOP IS THE CROSSTOWN AND FAIR GREEN, THE GREEN IS -- AND IT ALSO SHOWS THE MISSING SESSIONS FOR WEST CLIFF AS WELL AS FOR TURN LAKE. >> MADAM MAYOR? >> MAYOR: MM-HMM. >> JUST A QUESTION ON THE FERN GREEN PIECE GOING BACK. >> SURE. >> BECAUSE FERN LAKE, IT'S, IS THESE APPROVALS, THIS IMPROVEMENT, IS IT CONTINGENT UPON WHATEVER A FUTURE DISCUSSION OR A FUTURE ITEM AS FAR AS THE IMPROVEMENTS, OR ARE THESE IMPROVEMENTS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET COMPLETED INN A TIMELY MANNER. >> WELL BRINLY RIGHT NOW HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND IT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE PLAT IN FOR FERN LAKE RIGHT WE HAVE THE PLAT IN SO THIS JUST SAYS BY THEIR 100TH PUBLIC WORKS PERMIT THEY, IF IT'S NOT DONE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC THEY WON'T GET ANYMORE PERMITS. >> THAT'S MORE FOR RESIDENTIAL NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY POTENTIAL OTHER APPROVALS. >> RIGHT, THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE RESIDENTIAL. >> AND I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN ASSUME THAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANOTHER ITEM, AND THEN, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS AWARE AND THEY CAN SEE, THIS IS COMING, REGARDLESS OF HOW THAT DISCUSSION HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE OR WHAT HAPPENS, THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE SOLELY TO ENSURE RESIDENTS HAVE CONNECTION AND TO DO WITH RESIDENTIAL GROWTH THAT HAS OCCURRED WITHOUT ANYTHING ELSE IN THE FUTURE. >> JUST TO ADD TO THAT, AS I SAID, IT CONNECTS THOSE MISSING PIECES. THERE IS A MISSING PIECE IN HERE, AND THEN THERE'S A MISSING PIECE OVER HERE. SO ONCE THAT NORTH-SOUTH A IS CONSTRUCTED, YOU'LL HAVE WEST CLIFF THAT I SAID WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO SOUTHWEST VILLAGE AND THAT WILL HELP IMPROVE TRAFFIC AND THEN THE TRAFFIC UPDATED TRAFFIC STUDY IT WAS PREPARED BY McKENZIE ENGINEERING AND PLANNING. IT WAS REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S THIRD PARTY TRAFFIC CONSULTANT KITTELSON AND ASSOCIATES, AND APPROVED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AND THE REVIEW BY KITTLESON AND ASSOCIATES FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS THAT WAS SUBMITTED AND THAT IT SHOWS THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE DRI DO NOT RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF TRIPS COMPARED TO THE EXISTING DRI TOTALS AND THE FINDINGS SHOW THAT THE PROPOSED CHANGES IN ENTITLEMENTS ACTUALLY RESULT IN A SLIGHT DECREASE IN DAILY A.M., P.M. PEAK HOUR AND P.M. PEAK HOUR TRIPS. AND THIS WAS AN ANALYZED -- YOU KNOW, CHANGES TO DRIs DO REQUIRE THAT ANY PROPOSED CHANGE TO AN APPROVED DRI BE REVIEWED BAIT SAID ON THE -- BASED ON THE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES IN THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGIONAL IMPACTULATIONS. THIS APPLICATION -- LAND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT THAT WHICH ESTABLISHES THE DENSITIES AND INTREANS INTENSITIES FOR TRN AND WESTERN GROVE CDD DISTRICT AND THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT POLICY, AND THAT POLICY ALSO STATES THE CITY MAY DECREASE OR INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENTS AS PROVIDED IN AN AN EQUIVALENCY MATRIX THAT IS ALSO ADOPTED INTO THE DRI AND THESE PROPOSED MATRIX -- IN TERMS OF THE FORMULA FOR THE CHANGES WITH THE DECREASE IN OFFICE, OFFSETTING THE INCREASE IN THE MULTIFAMILY USES AND COMMERCIAL USES. AND THE DECREASE IN SINGLE-FAMILY AS WELL. AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL AT THE APRIL 1st, 2025, BLABBING AND ZONING BOARD MEET -- PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF DOES FIND THE PETITION TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE IN10 INTENTD DIRECTION OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> MAYOR: ANY QUESTIONS QUESTIOR MS. KEEN? NO? THANK YOU. DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. GARRETT. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS. MR. MEREJO AND BARRIOS, STEVE GARRETT REPRESENTING MATTAMY PALM BEACH LLC. LIKE TO THANK BRIDGET FOR HER THOROUGH PRESENTATION. THE IM IT AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE AMENDING 264 SINGLE-FAMILY GO TO 264 MULTIFAMILY NO INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, SLIGHT UPTICK IN COMMERCIAL. THAT'S MORE SO TO FUTURE PROOF TRADITION FOR THE FINAL BUILD-OUT AS WELL AS MAYBE REDEVELOPMENT THAT MAY OCCUR. AND TO HAVE ENOUGH UCWHETHERT OF ENTITLEMENTS THERE -- ENOUGH BUCKET OF ENTITLEMENTS THERE, AND OBVIOUSLY ALL THOSE CHANGES SLIGHT DECREASE IN TRAFFIC. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'M VERY PROUD TO REPRESENT AND CONTINUE TO REPRESENT MATTAMY HOMES SINCE 2018 THEY HAVE TRULY MADE A COMMITMENT TO BE A PARTNER WITH THE CITY. IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH STAFF, WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, WITH THERESA, JESUS, AND COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD AND FURTHER GET THE FIRST TWO LANES OF AN INTERCONNECTED ROAD NETWORK OUT WHERE IT'S MOST NEATED. SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. GARRETT? NO? ALL THIS CENTIVITY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT -- CONNECTIVITY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AS WE JUST DISCUSSED IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM AND WITH THIS ITEM AND GETTING THOSE ROAD PARCELS CONNECTED BECAUSE OF ALL THE GROWTH OUT IN THAT AREA. SO I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT, THESE ROADS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AND ALL THAT CONNECTIVITY IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. SO WITH THAT, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL? >> MOTION TO APPROVE -- SORRY. >> THAT'S OKAY. >> MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 25-R12. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
