body
Background:
The applicant/property owner, TAG Lakeside, LLC, is requesting a large-scale plan amendment to amend the subject property’s Future Land Use Map designations from Low Density Residential (LDR) (138.32± acres) and Commercial (COM) (1.56± acres) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) with an annotation to the 2030 Future Land Use Map limiting the overall maximum density up to 1,188 units. The applicant is also concurrently applying for a Planned Development (PD) rezoning in order to have a residential development up to 1,188 residential dwelling units.
The subject property is located within the US 17 Area Plan, where the County encourages developers/property owners to preserve and enhance the natural environment and to promote mixed use development. Although the proposed residential multi-family development is not a type of mixed-use development, the proposed development will preserve approximately 48.9 acres of Scrub Jay Habitat and approximately 11.77 acres for the Creek preservation area. It is staff’s professional opinion that the proposed development is consistent with the intent of the US 17 Area Plan and is not contrary to the County’s Comprehensive Plan.
On July 8, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this large-scale plan amendment with a unanimous vote.
What Action will be accomplished?
If the Board of County Commissioners approves this large-scale plan amendment, it will be transmitted to the Florida Department of Commerce and other State agencies for review and comment.
