Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Initiate rezoning, Z-18-00481, approximately 1.6 acres from IL (Limited Industrial) District with restrictions  to IBP (Industrial Business Park) District, located at 1314 Research Park Drive.

 

Executive Summary:

On March 20, 2018, the City Commission approved Z-17-00689 (Ordinance No. 9446), which rezoned this property from IBP (Industrial Business Park) District to IL (Limited Industrial) District, with conditions. Additionally, staff was directed to review the mini-warehouse use in the Land Development Code to determine if it was an appropriate use to include in the IBP zoning district. Text Amendment, TA-18-00150, was completed and adopted in August 2018 (Ordinance No. 9514) defining certain types of storage uses and to permit some uses in the IBP (industrial Business Park) District.

 

The Commission also directed staff to process a rezoning of the property included in Ordinance No. 9446, commonly known as 1314 Research Park Drive back to the IBP (Industrial Business Park) District, if the code were revised to allow the warehouse use in the IBP district. This rezoning application is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing by the Planning Commission on November 14, 2018.
