Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): An application for an amendment to Section 158.187 (A) of the Zoning Code to amend the minimum size requirement for the establishment of a Master Planned Unit Development Zoning District (MPUD). At present, the Zoning Code requires a minimum size of fifty (50) acres to rezone property to the MPUD zoning designation. This application will amend that requirement to allow MPUD zoning districts to be established based on the minimum acreage required by the underlying NCD land use sub-district for the Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-district, Town Center sub-district, Resort Area sub-district, Mixed Use sub-district, Regional Business Center subdistrict, and the Employment Center sub-district. A minimum size of 50 acres will still be required to rezone property to a MPUD under the residential land use sub-district.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the request as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the zoning text amendment.
2. Move that the Council not approve the text amendment and provide staff direction.
Background: On January 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance 21-99 approving a large scale text amendment to the City’s comprehensive plan. The ordinance amended Policy 1.2.6.2 of the Future Land Use Element to remove the requirement that each MPUD zoning district be a minimum size of fifty (50) acres. Policy 1.2.6.2 now allows MPUD zoning districts to be established based on the minimum acreage required by the land use sub-district for the Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-district, Town Center sub-district, Resort Area sub-district, Mixed Use sub-district, Regional Business Center subdistrict, and the Employment Center sub-district. A minimum size of 50 acres is still required to rezone property to a MPUD under the residential land use sub-district.
Issues/Analysis: The proposed text amendment to the Zoning Code is required to provide consistency between the City’s comprehensive plan and the City’s land development regulations.
