BACKGROUND:
• Petitioner: Second Nine Partners LLC
• Property Owner: Second Nine Partners LLC
• Agent: Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC
The subject property is currently in unincorporated Marion County and surrounded by properties within the City zoned B-2, Community Business. The petitioner requests to change the zoning from B-2, Community Business (County) to B-2, Community Business (City). The current use of the subject property, consistent with the Foxwood III plat, is a drainage retention area. There are two concurrent applications associated with this request, a land use change (LUC24-45697) and an annexation (ANX24-45696).
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 4-0 vote at their July 8, 2024, hearing.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The requested B-2, Community Business, zoning classification is consistent with the surrounding area, the comprehensive plan, and the requested Low-Intensity future land use classification. The amendment will not adversely affect the community’s health, safety, convenience, prosperity, or general welfare. The proposed B-2 zoning is consistent with Section 122-244 of the Code of Ordinances and the proposed future land use of the property. Staff recommends approval.
