Executive Summary: The applicant requests a future land use designation change from Residential Golf Course (RGC) to Commercial General (CG) for 19.7 acres in the Verano POD H development, located along the Crosstown Parkway corridor.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the Future Land Use Amendment to the City Council.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend approval.
2. Move that the Board recommend denial to the City Council and provide staff direction.
Background: DRI entitlements authorize up to 848,500 square feet of retail/service uses and 100,000 square feet of office uses. The proposal does not include any change to development entitlements or increase in density or intensity.
The RGC Future Land Use designation is a mixed-use category requiring inclusion of at least one 18-hole golf course, allowing a maximum residential density of 5 dwelling units per gross acre, and permitting up to ten percent of the land area to be developed with non-residential uses. Permitted non-residential uses may include hotel, conference center, recreational, specific institutional, retail, and office uses. Retail and office uses within the RGC designation are intended to serve the internal development and function as low-intensity commercial uses
Issues/Analysis: The property consists of parcels in two different locations as follows:
Site 1: Approximately 9.7 acres, comprising five parcels, located at the corner of Crosstown Parkway and Sundance Vista Boulevard.
Site 2: Approximately 10.0 acres located at the corner of Crosstown Parkway and Range Line Road.
The purpose of this request is to allow more intensive commercial uses consistent with the CG designation. Because CG zoning permits uses of greater intensity than those planned under the RGC designation, CG zoning is not compatible with the existing RGC Future Land Use classification.
The Planned Unit Development application (P21-070), approved by City Council on January 22, 2024, established the Verano POD H PUD. A concurrent PUD amendment has been submitted to update the list of permitted and special exception uses to reflect uses of greater intensity consistent with Section 158.124 - General Commercial (CG) of the Zoning Code.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The properties are generally located southeast of Glades Cut-Off Road, east of Rangeline Road, and north of Crosstown Parkway.
