Executive Summary (General Business): Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, has applied for an amendment to the City’s comprehensive plan to amend the text of the future land use element by amending Figure 1-3. Figure 1-3 is the conceptual land use plan for the Tradition/Western Grove NCD District. It depicts the Residential, Mixed Use, Town Center, and Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-districts in the Tradition DRI and the Residential and Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-districts in the Western Grove DRI as well as open space. Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, is applying to adjust the conceptual plan for Western Grove. The proposed changes include a change to 8.12 acres located northwest of the proposed intersection of Tradition Parkway and N/S A from the Neighborhood/Village Commercial sub-district classification to the Residential sub-district classification; the realignment of a portion of N/S A located north of Westcliffe Lane and south of the future Crosstown Parkway to accommodate a utility site; and the depiction of Tradition Parkway from N/S A west to Range Line Road. The Tradition Parkway right-of-way was previously removed from the Western Grove DRI and then added back into the DRI in 2018. Figure 1-3 is being updated to show the proposed roadway configuration.
The application and proposed ordinance are scheduled for the November 23, 2020 City Council meeting for approval to transmit the proposed comprehensive plan text amendment to the state land planning agency (DEO) and reviewing agencies for review and comment. The adoption hearing will be scheduled at a future date following receipt and, if needed, response to comments.
