DEPARTMENT: Growth Management                     

PREPARED BY:                      Name: Amy Offenbach                     

                     Title:                     Planner                     

REQUESTED BY: Robert Raynes, Gunster Law Firm                                          

 

PRESET:     

PROCEDURES: None                     

 

BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

 

Comprehensive Growth Management Plan Policy 4.4A.1 provides that “Parcels being considered for amendment to the future land use designation shall be concurrently evaluated for rezoning to the most appropriate zoning district in the most recently adopted Land Development Regulations.” A concurrent rezoning is required for each Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment where the amendment creates an inconsistency with the current zoning designation.

 

Analysis of the proposed rezoning can be found in the staff report attached to this Board item. Consideration of the request to change from RS-6 to GC on ±4.01 acres is contingent upon the approval of CPA 23-02 Hobe Sound Storage.

 

On June 1, 2023, the Local Planning Agency voted 2 - 2 on the proposed zoning district. 

 

ISSUES:

 

Please see the attached staff report for analysis of the proposed changes to the Zoning Atlas.
