Administrator
DATE: 1/16/2024
SUBJECT: Ord. 1959 - Crosson Street Comprehensive Plan Amendment
BACKGROUND:
On November 14, 2023, staff received an application to annex and to amend the comprehensive plan and
zoning designations for property located at the end of Medcrest Drive.
The subject property is currently located within the city limits of Crestview with a future land use and zoning
designation of Commercial (C) and Commercial High-Intensity District (C-2), respectively.
The application requests the Mixed-Use (MU) future land use designation for the property.
The Planning and Development Board recommended approval of the request on January 2, 2024, and it was
approved on first reading by the City Council on January 8, 2024.
DISCUSSION:
The property description is as follows:
Property Owner: JH2 Investments LLC
4395 Bahia Lane
Destin, FL 32541
Parcel ID: 29-3N-23-0000-0025-016H
Site Size: 8.04 acres

District (C-2) Vacant & Commercial
South Commercial (C) Commercial High-Intensity
District (C-2) Vacant
West Commercial (C) Commercial High-Intensity

Page 18 of 108
The subject property is currently vacant, and a development application has not been submitted. Based on the
requested land-use and zoning designations, the property may be developed for residential or low-intensity
commercial use.
Staff reviewed the request for a comprehensive plan amendment and finds the following:
- The proposed future land use map designation is compatible with the surrounding area.
- The proposed future land use map designation is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and
land development code.
- The process for adoption of the future land use map amendment follows all requirements of Florida
statute sections 163.3184 (3) and (5).
-
The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to goals, policies, and objectives of the
comprehensive plan. It only proposes a land use change to the future land use map for a site-
specific small-scale development.
- The subject property is not located within an area of critical state concern.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on December 12,
2023. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin on December 21, 2023.

DATE: 1/16/2024
SUBJECT: Ord. 1960 - Crosson Street Rezoning
BACKGROUND:
On November 14, 2023, staff received an application to annex and to amend the comprehensive plan and
zoning designations for property located at the end of Medcrest Drive.
The subject property is currently located within the city limits of Crestview with a future land use and zoning
designation of Commercial (C) and Commercial High-Intensity District (C-2), respectively.
The application requests the Mixed-Use (MU) zoning designation for the property.
The Planning and Development Board recommended approval of the request on January 2, 2024, and it was
approved on first reading by the City Council on January 8, 2024.
DISCUSSION:
The property description is as follows:
Property Owner: JH2 Investments LLC
4395 Bahia Lane

The subject property is currently vacant, and a development application has not been submitted. Based on the
requested land-use and zoning designations, the property may be developed for residential or low-intensity
commercial use.
Staff reviewed the request for rezoning and finds the following:
- The proposed zoning is consistent with the proposed future land use designation.
- The uses within the requested zoning district are compatible with uses in the adjacent zoning districts.
- The requested use is not substantially more or less intense than allowable development on adjacent
parcels.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on December 12,
2023. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin on December 21, 2023.

TO: Planning and Development Board
CC: City Manager and City Attorney
FROM: Community Development Services
DATE: 1/16/2024
SUBJECT: Ord. 1961 - LDC Amendment
BACKGROUND:
The Land Development Code enforces various land development regulations within the City of Crestview.
Periodically, staff identifies changes that are necessary to be made in the Code, either resulting from
clarifications of past changes, newfound issues with the code as it is written, or changes that are identified to
keep up with new development trends or needs identified in the community.
DISCUSSION:
It has been almost a year and half since our last overall update of the Land Development Code. For a while,
updates took place approximately every six months, the last two updates were about a year apart. It has been
almost 18 months since the last overall update. Since the last update, staff has identified a handful of
amendments that would be beneficial per the criteria mentioned previously.
These updates generally include:
• Modifications to the application timeline table in Chapter 3 of the code to better reflect the time it takes
for reviews, and to give both staff and applicants a more suitable timeline with the amount of
development currently taking place.
• Modifications and clarification to the development order issuance, expiration and continuation
requirements.
• Clarification of jurisdictional approval when wetlands are proposed to be modified, removed, altered or
destroyed.
• Removal of specific standards pertaining to metal buildings.
• Various changes to Chapter 7, pertaining to: the type of structures subject to 100 setback requirement
when storing volatile materials, placement of security fencing on vacant lots, placement of fences in
front yards of larger estate-style lots, standards for ground mounted telecommunication utility
structures, modification/clarification of temporary sign standards, clarification of standards for
accessory dwellings, addition of home occupations to allow for in-home daycare, clarification of food
truck site standards, clarification of setback requirements for townhouse developments, clarification of
temporary vendor requirements to exempt those in conjunction with permitted special events
• Clarification of access requirements for subdivisions with more than 50 lots, that abut multiple
roads/rights-of-way.
• Clarification of driveway spacing requirements from intersections for single family residential
dwellings.
• Addition of condemnation relief language in Chapter 9, to provide relief for the owners of land affected
by roadway condemnation (right-of-way acquisition).

9.01.09 – Condemnation Relief.
A. Intent. It is the intent to provide relief to the owners of land affected by roadway condemnation by allowing a
relaxation of requirement of land use regulations which are necessary for reasonable use of the property and
to provide relief where, as a result of land acquisition for condemnation purposes, substandard parcels are
created, existing structures are rendered nonconforming, available parking area reduced, or use of property is
otherwise curtailed.
B. Applicability. This is meant to be applied where strict enforcement of this Land Development Code would have
the effect of increasing the cost of land acquisition to the condemning authority and/or causing hardship to the
landowner.
C. Requirements.
1. Existing use areas which are not within the part taken, but, because of the taking, do not comply with the
setback, buffer, minimum lot requirements, lot coverage, stormwater management, parking, open space,
and landscape provisions of this Unified Land Development Code, shall not be required to be reconstructed
to meet such requirements and the remainders shall be deemed thereafter to be conforming properties.
The exemption thus created shall constitute a covenant of compliance running with the use of the land.
2. Any conforming building, vehicular use area, or other permitted use taken either totally or partially may be
relocated on the remainder of the site without being required to comply with the setback and other
provisions of this Unified Land Development Code except that the relocated building, vehicular use area, or
other permitted use shall be set back as far as is physically feasible without reducing the utility or use of the
relocated building, vehicular use of the relocated building, vehicular use area, or other permitted use below
its pretaking utility or use. The exemption thus created shall constitute a covenant of compliance running
with the land.
3. Any properties in category (C)(1) or (C)(2) of this section which are thereafter destroyed, or partially
destroyed, may be restored.
4. As to the exemptions in subsections (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this section, either the condemning authority or the
landowner or both of them, after proper notification to the land owner, may apply in writing to the director
for a determination that the granting of the exemption will not result in a condition dangerous to the health,
safety, or welfare of the general public. The director shall, within 30 days of the filing of the application,
determine whether or not the waiver of the setback requirement granted by this section will endanger the
health, safety, or welfare of the general public. If the director determines that the granting of the exemption
under this section will not constitute a danger to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public, the
director shall issue a signed letter to all parties granting waivers. The letter shall specify the details of the
waiver in a form recordable in the public records of the city. If the application is denied, the director shall
issue a signed letter to the applicant specifying the specific health or safety ground upon which the denial
is based.
5. Any development permits or variances necessary to relocate building, vehicular use areas, or permitted
uses taken or partially taken can be applied for by the condemning authority and/or landowners and
administratively granted for the property in question.
6. Any legally nonconforming existing land use which, as a result of the taking or reconstruction necessitated
by the taking, would be required to conform shall continue to be a legally nonconforming land use.

CAPER 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
Projects began and/or completed during the 2022-23 fiscal year helped meet the following specific goals identified in the Consolidated Plan and
Annual Action Plan:
Goal: Planning and Administration – The City of Crestview Community Development Services department administers the CDBG program and is
responsible for conducting all public hearings and meetings, advertising the report, advertising for and accepting applications, reviewing
applications, administering funds to sub-grantees, preparing the Annual Action Plan each year, preparing the CAPER each year, and for preparing
the Five Year Consolidated Plan every five years, among other administrative duties. Funds from this category were used to support the
aforementioned functions.
Goal: Blight Removal – The city has numerous blighted areas and individual properties. These as these properties deteriorate, they become a
greater risk for unsafe conditions both for the residents, and the surrounding community. Funding was used to assist in the elimination of blight
and deterioration of properties through the removal of unsafe conditions and by enhancing the appearance and conditions of structures. This
goal was addressed through the City of Crestview Nuisance Abatement Program. All funding for FY 2021-22 has been all utilized, 77.71% of FY
2022-23 funds have been drawn as the activity is still underway. This program has seen much success and will continue in FY 2023-24 with
additional options for structural rehabilitation in addition to demolition.
Goal: Provide a Suitable Living Environment – In FY 2020-21, the Benjamin Street Sewer project was funded but not drawn, due to delays
associated with COVID. In FY 2021-22, the funding was drawn to contibute to design and construction costs associated with the project.
Benjamin Street is located inside the LMI area, and has limited sewer availability. Under this program, funding will be used to construct sewer
connections at no cost to the property owners. This last year, the City also received an appropriation from the State of Florida to complete this
project.
Goal: Expand Economic Opportunity – This goal was addressed through the City of Crestview CDBG-CV Small Business Grant Program, which was
created as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding will be used to provide one-time business grants of up to $5,000.00. The
purpose of this program is to avoid job loss caused by business closures related to social distancing by providing short-term working capital
assistance to small businesses to enable retention of jobs held by low- and moderate-income persons. Business owners and/or affected
employees must meet HUD LMI income eligibility. This program received one application in the FY 2022-23 year. The program is still active and

accepting applications, though funds may be reallocated to a separate, more appropriate activity in the coming year.

Due to lack of funding, the city did not include affordable housing as a priority need in the CDBG plan.
The city plans to support future housing development through making it a priority need or using
alternate funding and/or publicly owned properties. The city currently partners with with Habitat for
Humanity and has also partnered with Gregg Chapel AME Church to provide land for affordable housing.
The public-private partnership with Gregg Chapel AME Church has resulted in Vineyard Village, a 28-unit

affordable housing rental development project. This project has received it's development order, and

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The public-private partnership resulting in the aforementioned Vineyard Village project has brought to
light the efficacy of such efforts and as a result, the city may more proactively pursue the use of CDBG
funding in future annual action plans for this project, or similar projects, for the purposes of assisting in
the construction of affordable housing.

CITY OF CRESTVIEW Item # 10.4.
Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 22, 2024
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Nicholas Schwendt, CDS Planning Administrator, Tim Bolduc, City Manager
DATE: 1/18/2024
SUBJECT: City Council Committee Appointment and Council Volunteer Appointment Update
BACKGROUND:
At the December City Council Meeting, the Council provided direction for staff to evaluate the various board
appointments that the City has and begin to draft code amendments that would simplify the board's terms, to the
degree possible, to allow more intentional, timely and comprehensive evaluation by the Council on an annual
basis. Likewise, the Council expressed a similar interest in evaluation of Council appointments as well. The
Council volunteer term information is attached.
DISCUSSION:
• Based upon the previous discussion by the Council, staff identified the following provisions that would
appear to be necessary to provide the council the level of convenient oversight that they desire while not
also hampering the statutory requirements, or logical benefits for our City Boards. These provisions are
as follows:
• Staggered terms - to prevent the complete replacement of a board in one term
• A consistent start/effective date for all appointments that are not to fill a vacancy (e.g. March 1st, June
1st, etc.)
• Provision for appointments to vacant seats to carry though the remainder of the seat's term, rather than
start a new term for the individual
This would have the effect of one time each year when Council could be briefed on the status of all terms
whether they are up for re-appointment or not. This allows a level of regular oversight on an annual basis for
the Council's convenience, while also keeping longer terms when required or beneficial (e.g. 4-year terms
required by Statute for additional CRA members, and 3-year terms being beneficial for boards such as the
Planning Board and Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, who have a responsibility to handle longer-term
planning).
Due to a lack of explicit interest from the Council in the last discussion, followed by discussion among staff, it
does not appear to be a priority of the City Council to re-evaluate the appointment of retirement Boards at this
time. Amendments pertaining to these Boards will require a lengthier administrative process that would not be
in-line with the timeframe of amendments made for other Boards. That being said, staff could begin the process
of evaluating retirement Board appointments, as well, but it will just take more time to implement due to the
aforementioned lengthier process.
The Citizen Advisory Council is currently managed with the Mayor's oversight, but if upon discussion with the
Mayor, the Council would like to establish similar standards for the CAC, staff can address that via resolution
as well.
Page 98 of 108
Barring the retirement Boards and the Mayor's CAC, the applicable Boards that staff identified are as follows:
• Community Redevelopment Agency
• Planning and Development Board
• Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
Before beginning on the code amendments necessary to enact any changes to these appointments, staff wanted
clear consensus and direction from the Council. With these amendments, staff offers the following:
• Establish a consistent start date for terms for each of the three bodies mentioned above. Staff is
requesting a Council discussion regarding when that date should be.
• Establish provisions for appointments that serve to fill a vacant seat will only serve for the remainder of
the seat's term.
• Establish provision to stagger terms. The statute does this for CRA appointments by requiring the first
term to be shorter than all subsequent terms. This effectively staggers the terms for each appointed seat.
We can adopt a similar provision for our CRA and other Boards.
• Establish provisions explicitly stating that positions are not automatically reappointed and that the
Council must either reappoint the existing individual or appoint a new individual at or before the end of
their term.
Staff welcomes Council discussion and additional direction regarding the aforementioned provisions identified
by staff, discussion or direction regarding the inclusion of the retirement boards and CAC into these
amendments, and discussion or direction pertaining to the desired effective date for appointments.
In addition, the City Council wished to review the Council Volunteer Board Terms, which are as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 22, 2024
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Presentation
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Tim Bolduc, City Manager
DATE: 1/18/2024
SUBJECT: Strategic Plan Quarterly Review
BACKGROUND:
The first strategic plan for the City of Crestview was adopted on June 10th, 2019. This plan established our
vision, mission statement, and strategic focus areas. The plan also identified goals and strategies for improving
in these focus areas.
The strategic planning process included a community survey; this survey received over 1400 responses. A
stakeholder meeting with 70 participants, including members of the business and non-profit community,
department heads, city council members, county government leaders, and local military representatives. During
this meeting, we discussed the results of the community survey, SWOT analysis, and future goals. The City
Council confirmed its priorities, focus areas, and reviewed new strategic goals during a budget workshop in
July 2023. In September 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023-2028 strategic plan.
DISCUSSION:
In 2023, the City of Crestview purchased software for digitizing our strategic plan. This software is known as
ClearPlans by ClearGov. ClearGov also houses the City's annual budget. This software is aimed at increasing
communication and transparency.
Staff will present the first quarter progress of the strategic plan in the new interactive format.
