Explanation:
This variance seeks to approve the same setbacks already established in the Oakwood Planned Development (“PD”) District Design Guidelines, which were reviewed and approved as part of the PD rezoning process under Ordinance O-2023-09. The requested variance would ensure consistency between the Phase 2 Design and Site Plan and the previously approved PD Design Guidelines, providing flexibility in building placement while maintaining the overall objectives of the Oakwood PD District.
Approval of these variances would allow the project to proceed in accordance with the established master plan and design guidelines, while ensuring an integrated, cohesive development that balances residential uses, pedestrian connectivity, and streetscape design within the Oakwood Activity Center.
On September 9, 2025, the Planning and Development Board heard the applicant’s request for variance approval within the Oakwood PD zoning district. Staff provided the Board with a recommendation to approve the requested variance.
The Board provided a recommendation to City Commission of approval for the requested variance.
The proposed variance is requested to permit the reduction of setbacks for internal and external public rights-of-ways within the PD Zoning District, amending the Oakwood Master Development Plan Ordinance O-2023-09. (24-JV-31b)
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Resolution will not fiscally impact the City as this is a variance request.
