Executive Summary: This is an application to amend the development order for the Southern Grove DRI. The proposed amendment will amend Map H, the master development plan, and Map H-2, the Tradition Trail/multi-purpose pathways map, for the Southern Grove DRI. The proposed changes to Map H revise the land use sub-districts depicted for approximately 528 acres of land located on the east side of SW Village Parkway and between E/W 2 (Destination Way) and SW Hegener Drive from the Employment Center sub-district, the Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-district, and the Mixed Use sub-district to the Regional Business Center sub-district and it revises the alignment for a future Marshall Parkway and Interstate 95 Interchange. The proposed changes to Map H-2 revise the alignment for Tradition Trail by removing on road and off- road segments of the trail that were proposed for the area east of SW Village Parkway.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board approve the amendment as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Department.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and approve the amendment.
2. Move that the Board not approve the amendment and provide staff direction.
Background: This application is associated with an application to amend the City’s comprehensive plan that was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board at the August 2, 2024 Planning and Zoning Board meeting (P24-065). P24-065 is a proposed amendment to Figure 1-4 of the Future Land Use Element. Figure 1-4 is the conceptual land use plan for the Southern Grove NCD District. The proposed amendment revises the land use sub-districts for approximately 528 acres from the Employment Center sub-district, the Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-district, and the Mixed Use sub-district to the Regional Business Center sub-district and revises the alignment for Marshall Parkway.
Issues/Analysis: This application and the associated comprehensive plan amendment (P24-065) are intended to accommodate the buildout of the GFC area of Southern Grove by providing a more unified land use plan for the area. The DRI has to be consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan so the first step in the process is to amendment Figure 1-4 followed by an amendment to the DRI.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The property is located directly west of Interstate 95, between Tradition Parkway and the C-23 Canal and bordered to the west by SW Community Boulevard.
