To adopt on First Reading, an Ordinance amending the Land Use Element of the City Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use designation of The Highland Park Village property located at 112 NW 3 Ave from Residential Low Medium to Residential High Density. This Amendment is pursuant to condition of approval for Major Development to recapture 23 Reserve Units.
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Highland Park Ventures, LLC has applied for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the land use of the subject property to Residential High Density.
On April 16, 2008 the City Commission approved rezoning the subject property from Residential Two Family (RD-12) to Residential Multi-family (RM-25) and assigning 23 Residential Reserve Units to the Highland Park Village project in order to accommodate the proposed 53 unit multi-family development without the need of a plan amendment. The Planned Development Overlay District was also applied to the property.
On the same date, the City Commission also approved the Major Development Review application to build the 53 multi-family units on the property.
As a condition of the Development Agreement for the project, the developer was required to apply for a City and County Land Use Plan Amendment in order for the City to recapture the 23 Residential Reserve Units assigned to the property.
At the Planning and Zoning Board Hearing held on March 25, 2009, the Board by unanimous vote, recommended approval of the application.
In accordance with Code requirements, the Notices of Hearing for the March 25, 2009 meeting were mailed to all property owners within a 1000 ft radius on March 13, 2009. The Notice of Hearing was posted on the property on March 14, 2009. The Notice of Hearing for the April 15, 2009 City Commission Meeting was mailed to all property owners within a 1000 ft radius on April 4, 2009. The Notice of Hearing was also posted on the property on April 4, 2009.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Plan Amendment would allow the city to recapture 23 Residential Reserve Units from Flex Zone #94.
The application is also in accordance with the approved Development Agreement between City and the applicant. Attached is the staff report prepared for the Planning and Zoning Board that includes both the policy and technical analysis and summary minutes of the hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
