BACKGROUND:

                     Applicant: Impact Development Partners, LLC

                     Property Owner: 31st Street, LLC

                     Agent: Fred N. Roberts Jr, Esq, Klein & Klein, LLC

                     The subject property was a portion of a larger PUD. The original PUD has been expired for over 25 years. This property was shown as residential on the expired PUD but had no specific development standards as it relates to design.

                     The property is surrounded on three sides by assisted living facilities and multi-family complexes.

                     The traffic study was approved on December 7, 2023.

                     A Developer’s Agreement has been submitted which addresses deficient facilities identified during the traffic study.

                     The PD plan includes enhanced design features, including Florida-friendly plantings in the buffers and open space, pedestrian walking trails, and enhanced landscaped entrances.

                     Taller, four-story buildings are proposed to be located at the interior of the development, with the three-story buildings on the exterior. 

                     Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with a three to two vote at their September 11, 2023, meeting.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The PD, Planned Development zoning district is consistent with the land development regulations, and compatible with the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval.
