Executive Summary (General Business): This is the adoption hearing for a proposed comprehensive plan text amendment that was submitted for Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, as the developer of the Western Grove Development of Regional Impact (DRI). Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, has applied to amend the text of the future land use element by amending Figure 1-3. Figure 1-3 is the conceptual land use plan for the Tradition/Western Grove NCD District. It depicts the Residential, Mixed Use, Town Center, and Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-districts in the Tradition DRI and the Residential and Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-districts in the Western Grove DRI as well as open space. Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, is applying to adjust the conceptual plan for Western Grove. The proposed changes include a change to 8.12 acres located northwest of the proposed intersection of Tradition Parkway and N/S A from the Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-district classification to the Residential sub-district classification; the realignment of a portion of N/S A located north of Westcliffe Lane and south of the future Crosstown Parkway to accommodate a utility site; and the depiction of Tradition Parkway from N/S A west to Range Line Road. The Tradition Parkway right-of-way was previously removed from the Western Grove DRI and then added back into the DRI in 2018. Figure 1-3 is being updated to depict the extension of Tradition Parkway.

Special Consideration: The proposed comprehensive plan amendment is associated with a proposed amendment to the Western Grove DRI Development Order (P20-187) and a proposed amendment to the Western Grove Master Planned Unit Development (MPUD) (P20-193). The proposed DRI amendment amends Map H, the master development plan, amends certain development order conditions, and revises the buildout and termination dates pursuant to Executive Orders issued by the Governor. The proposed changes to Map H include amending the land use sub-district classification for approximately 8.12 acres located west of the N/S A road right-of-way between the Westcliffe Lane road right-of-way and the Tradition Parkway road right-of-way from Neighborhood/Village Commercial to Residential; the re-alignment of a portion of N/S A located north of Westcliffe Lane and south of future Crosstown Parkway to accommodate a proposed utility site on the east side of N/S A; and updates to the conceptual lake system to be consistent with developer’s current subdivision plans. The proposed Western Grove MPUD amendment increases residential entitlements by 500 units and decreases retail entitlements by 30,000 square feet, revises the concept plan to be consistent with the changes to Map H, and other miscellaneous changes. The MPUD amendment will allow for 3,400 dwelling units, 170,000 square feet of retail,and 50,000 square feet of office. These changes are within the approved entitlements for the Western Grove DRI. The Western Grove DRI is approved for 4,000 residential dwelling units, 200,000 square feet of retail, and 50,000 square feet of office. The adoption hearing for the DRI amendment and the first reading of the MPUD ordinance are scheduled for the January 25, 2021 City Council meeting.
