body
Submitted By: Bridget Kean, AICP, Senior Planner
Executive Summary: Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, has applied to amend the development order for the Southern Grove Development of Regional Impact. The proposed amendment will add a condition in support of mass transit. Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, has introduced a pilot program in Tradition and Southern Grove for an autonomous vehicle shuttle service. The service is known as TIM (Tradition in Motion). At present, the service offers two operating routes. The goal is to add additional routes to serve the residents of Tradition, Southern Grove, and the future residents of Western Grove. For financing purposes, the service needs to be a use allowed by the Southern Grove DRI development order. The condition was inadvertently left out of the recent amendment to the Southern Grove DRI that was approved on January 24, 2021 (Resolution 21-R05).
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the amendment to City Council as recommended by staff.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend approval of the amendment to City Council.
2. Move that the Board not approve the amendment and provide staff direction.
