NEW BUSINESS

 

Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Advisability - City Manager Larese highlighted the request and report provided in the Council agenda packet. The request was to direct the staff to develop and implement a strategy to incorporate portions of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan into the City's existing (adopted) comprehensive plan.

 

The Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan began in 2017 with the Titusville Tomorrow public engagement project, which was presented at a number of Commission and Council meetings in 2018-2020, and transmitted to the State for review in 2021. After a thorough review of the State's comments and concerns and the recent adoption of property rights bills by the State Legislature, staff recommended the City Council consider an alternative to adopting the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan.


During the regular City Council meeting of March 22, 2022 at 5:30 p.m., for special recognitions and presentations, staff gave an update on the status of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan and a summary of the comments received from state agencies. Staff also described the alternative "Next Steps" the City Council could consider in light of recent State statutory changes. These included:

 

  1. Adopting the plan with the State's recommended changes, or
  2. Adopt portions of the plan into the City's existing (adopted) comprehensive plan. [preferred]


On July 13, 2021, City Council approved the Transmittal of Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Application No. 1-2021 to the State's Land Planning Agency and Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for review. In September 2021, the City received comments and recommendations (attached) from DEO, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC). The DEO and Regional Planning Council recommended updating the resiliency related studies and language in the comprehensive plan, and the FDOT expressed concern about the impact the increased density would have on State roadways. Adoption of the plan would be significantly delayed in order to address the State's recommendations and concerns.


Staff felt the City Council should consider the alternative of adopting certain portions of the plan into the existing (adopted) comprehensive plan. Specifically, policies related to economic development, housing, mixed use development and transportation. 

 

During the Council’s discussion that followed, Council provided direction for staff to develop and implement a strategy to incorporate portions of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan into the City’s existing (adopted) Comprehensive Plan.  

 

Member Nelson commented on whether the City should proceed with addressing all of the items the varying State agencies provided in order to move forward. 

 

Planning Manager Brad Parrish suggested waiting and addressing some of the varying state agencies comments during the next cycle for when the State required the City to complete the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR); however, staff could move forward with other items in the draft now, such as sea level rise analysis, etc. This conversation became referred to as Option Three (3) during Council’s discussion.  

 

Mayor Diesel, Vice-Mayor Jordan, and Member Stoeckel supported Option Three (3). 

 

Stan Johnston submitted a public speaking card. He desired addressing environmental issues and resiliency goals in the Comprehensive Plan. 

 

No formal action was requested for this agenda item.

On January 27, 2022, the Water Resources Department Pretreatment Program issued a Consent Order (CO) to Pharmco Laboratories, Inc. (Pharmco) for violations of their zero-discharge Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit with the City of Titusville.  During calendar years 2018 through 2021, Pharmco had twelve (12) individual violations of its discharge permit and City Code of Ordinances Sections 21-76 to 21-240, involving facility monitoring, administration, and changes to the Industrial User's facilities and operations without a permit. 

 

The proposed Consent Order stipulated monetary penalties, established a compliance schedule, and provided related terms and conditions to bring Pharmco Laboratories, Inc. back into compliance with their zero-discharge permit.
