Background: The subject property is part of a 16± acre parcel currently owned by the City; City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Alan Klein for the purchase of 2.663± acres of said 16± acres. The sale of the subject property is contingent upon approval of the proposed amendment as well as an amendment to the Zoning Map for the adjacent 22.929± acres.
The applicant is proposing to develop a total of 25.58± acres as an enclosed RV/boat storage facility with approximately 22,700 square-feet of retail adjacent to South Ridgewood Avenue.
Prior to development of the property a Site Plan must be approved that meets all requirements of the Land Development Code and associated PUD Agreement.
At their regular meeting of October 21, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Board voted to send a favorable recommendation to City Council. City Council approved the request at first reading on November 4, 2020.
Land Use Compatibility: The subject property is adjacent to property with an existing Commercial Future Land Use designation; the property to the south is Public/Semi-Public with County Agriculture and Industrial zoning designations. The proposed use is compatible with the proposed Future Land Use designation.
Adequate Public Facilities: Access is available on Ridgewood Avenue with secondary access on Booker Street. City water and wastewater is available to the site.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Land designated as Public/Semi-Public and Commercial both have a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .05. The proposed development will be of minimal intensity with ample buffers adjacent to the existing residential development; meeting the Goals, Policies and Objectives of the Future Land Use Element.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2020-O-31.
