Background (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
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 1) limiting the overall maximum density up to 1,188 units; increasing density from 135 units to 1,188 units, 2) requiring central water and sanitary sewer services to serve any residential development above 691 units, and 3) prohibiting an onsite package plant. 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 also 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 of area 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. On September 10, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved this large-scale plan amendment application (PAL-24-02) for transmittal to the Florida Department of Commerce and other State review agencies for review and comment via the State Coordinated Review process.
On November 6, 2024, the Florida Department of Commerce issued a letter stating that “FloridaCommerce has completed its review of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment for Charlotte County (Amendment No. 24-03DRI), which was received on September 11, 2024. We have reviewed the proposed amendment in accordance with the state coordinated review process set forth in Sections 163.3184(2) and (4), Florida Statutes (F.S.), for compliance with Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. FloridaCommerce does not identify any objections or comments to the proposed amendment.”
What Action will be accomplished?
If the Board of County Commissioners approves this large-scale plan amendment and its associated PD rezoning, it will allow for a residential development up to 1,188 units on the subject property. The applicant has submitted a video for inclusion to this item which will be played during the hearing.
