BACKGROUND:
? Applicant: Quattro Development, LLC
? Property Owner: Arthur Sullivan
? The subject property is proposed for annexation, and it is appropriate to assign a city land use and zoning designation. Low intensity land use is requested with B-2, Community Business, zoning.
? The property is located along SR200, a predominantly non-residential corridor. Existing land uses within a one-mile radius of the site are mostly Low Intensity.
? Both the existing Commercial (COM) county land use designation and the proposed Low Intensity land use designations encourage mixed-use developments focused on commercial, office and residential uses.
? Under Low Intensity land use, the minimum density is 3 dwelling units per acre with no minimum intensity, and the maximum density and intensity is 18 dwelling units per acre or 0.75 FAR. The existing County land use designation allows a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre.
? B-2, Community Business, zoning allows multifamily development only upon approval of a Special Exception by the Board of Adjustment.
? Based on conversations with the applicant, restaurant development is anticipated.
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with a 6-0 vote at their meeting on November 14, 2022.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The requested future land use designation of Low Intensity is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval.
