Explanation:
Second Reading
Since the August 26, 2020 City Commission (Transmittal) hearing, the Applicant has received all required approvals from the County and State.
On June 2, 2021, this Commission also voted 6-1 to approve the request to rezone the property to Medium-High Multiple Family District (RM-18) on first reading, accompanied with a request for an additional Public Participation Outreach Meeting. The second reading of the request to rezone the property is expected to be heard following the approval of this Land Use Plan Amendment. The Applicant will provide an update on the public outreach at the hearing.
Additionally, the proposed Site Plan is currently under review by the Technical Advisory Committee and is anticipated to be on the Planning and Development Board agenda in the Fall of 2021, following the approvals of this land use plan amendment and the rezoning.
First Reading
The subject site comprises approximately 26.7 gross acres situated on the southeast corner of Stirling Road and Compass Way.
The request is to amend the Land Use element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan Element to change the land use designation from Industrial (IND) and Low Medium (10) Residential (LMRES) to Medium (16) Residential (MRES). The intent of the Land Use Amendment is to identify parcels on Stirling Road with inappropriate land uses or are inappropriately sized or shaped and provide incentives for improvement or relocation of the uses, as suggested in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
It is anticipated that during Site Plan approval, the Applicant will request a rezoning to Medium-High Multiple Family District (RM-18). This will allow for the future development of 427 units.
At the July 23, 2020 Planning and Development Board meeting the Board forwarded a recommendation of approval.
