REQUESTED BY: Cotleur and Hearing
PRESET:
PROCEDURES: Quasi-Judicial
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Highpointe PUD was originally approved as a 2-phase master plan in 2021 to construct 284 single-family homes and associated infrastructure, incorporate the existing church into the master site plan, and establish a 20-acre parcel to be utilized by the Operation 300 non-profit organization. The Phase 1 Final Site Plan was also approved in 2021, to construct 94 single-family homes and execute the donation of 19.54 acres for the Operation 300 parcel. The First Amendment to the Highpointe PUD with a Revised Master Site Plan, Revised Phasing, and a Revised Phase 1 Final Site Plan was approved during the Phase 1 Plat public hearing. The 321-acre PUD is located along the east side of SW Pratt Whitney Road, approximately 1.1 miles north of Bridge Road, in Stuart.
The current proposal for the Second Amendment to the Highpointe PUD Zoning Agreement modifies portions of the PUD Agreement, revises the Master Site Plan, Phasing Plan and Special Conditions, and amends the Preserve Area Management Plan (PAMP). The Phase 2 Final Site Plan authorizes development of 190 single-family homes, an amenities center, improvements to Bulldog Way, and other associated infrastructure. The Phase 2 site is located on 145.31 acres within the 321-acre PUD.
A PAMP has been provided by the applicant to make consistency changes to the preserve area and native landscape area data. There are no proposed changes to the existing preserve boundary with this amendment.
