Executive Summary: This application seeks approval of the Fourth Amendment to the Verano South Pod G PUD to update commercial uses to match the General Commercial (CG) zoning district for the 8.03-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of Verano Parkway and Crosstown Parkway. The amendment revises the Site Information Chart, permitted and special exception uses, and development standards, including signage and drive-through provisions.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the PUD 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.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed PUD amendment on January 28, 2026.
On April 13, 2026, through Ordinance 26-27, the City Council approved a Future Land Use Map amendment for approximately 8.03 acres, changing the designation from Residential Golf Course (RGC) to General Commercial (CG). The amendment was intended to support a broader range of commercial uses, including those of greater intensity.
Issues/Analysis: The applicant requests the Fourth Amendment to the Verano South POD G PUD for an 8.03-acre portion of POD G to align the zoning regulations with the General Commercial (CG) Future Land Use designation. Key changes include updating the Site Information Chart to reflect the CG land use designation, revising the list of permitted and special exception uses to match the CG zoning district uses, and incorporating non-residential signage and drive-through provisions into the Development Uses and Standards.
This amendment does not expand the approved entitlements for the overall DRI or POD G.
The proposed PUD regulation document is attached as Exhibit “A”. The changes are included in the PUD document and are shown as strike-through and underlined.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The property is generally located south of the C-24 Canal, east of Glades Cutoff Road, west of I-95, and north of Crosstown Parkway.
