PRESET:
PROCEDURES: Quasi-Judicial
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The South Florida Gateway PUD Zoning Agreement including Master Site Plan were approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on February 1, 2022. The Final Site Plan for Plat Infrastructure was approved by the Board on May 17, 2022. On June 18, 2024, 32.26 acres were added to the South Florida Gateway PUD through Resolution 24-6.16, which rezoned the property and the South Florida Gateway Second Amendment to the PUD Zoning Amendment, which revised the Master Site Plan to include the new Lot IND-3.
On March 11, 2025 the revision to the Infrastructure Final Site Plan was approved for the purpose of constructing the infrastructure, which includes road and utility extensions along the private SW Gateway Place so Lot IND-3 may be platted and conveyed.
This application for the Third Amendment to the South Florida Gateway PUD would provide for siting and screening requirements of outdoor storage areas, provide limits as to what activities may be conducted and what materials cannot be stored in such areas, and place height limitations on items within the storage areas. All proposed storage areas would be located in areas already planned to be, or are currently, impervious areas (loading areas). Additionally, such areas will not be visible to the public and will be individually screened as provided for in the proposed Amendment language. The inclusion of Outdoor Storage as an accessory to the LI user will not allow Outdoor Storage as a stand-alone, or principal, use within the PUD.
Review of this application is not required by the Local Planning Agency (LPA).
