Background: The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the proposed amendment at the March 2, 2021 Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
Issues/Analysis: The Tradition Regional Business Park MPUD was approved on November 9, 2020 (Ordinance 20-67) to allow for approximately 2.6 million square feet of industrial use, approximately 550,000 square feet of mixed retail/office use, and up to 750 residential units (limited to the mixed commercial land use subareas). The MPUD includes two distinct development areas. The mixed commercial development area is along Becker Road and SW Village Parkway and allows for retail, commercial, and multi-family development. The Business Park is along the I-95 corridor and allows for warehouse/distribution, light industrial, manufacturing, and other similar uses. The proposed MPUD amendment revises the project maps, legal description, conceptual plan, and development program to include the 36 acres and other minor miscellaneous changes. The 36 acres will be added to the business park acreage. There are no changes to entitlements.
