Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Approve request to rezone, Z-18-00481, approximately 1.685 acres from IL (Limited Industrial) District with restricted uses to IBP (Industrial Business Park) District, located at 1314 Research Park Drive, and adopt on first reading, Ordinance No. 9611.

 

Executive Summary:

As part of the approval to rezone this property in 2017, Z-17-00689, from IBP (Industrial/Business Park) District to IL (Limited Industrial) District with restricted uses accommodating the development of a self-storage facility, the City Commission also directed staff to process a text amendment to consider adding climate controlled self-storage uses in the IBP District and, if appropriate, rezone the subject property back to IBP (Industrial Business Park) District if the text amendment were approved. 

 

The text amendment, TA-18-00150, defined changes to the Land Development Code to define certain types of storage uses; mini-Warehouse, self-storage, climate-controlled self-storage and similar uses, and to permit some uses in the IBP District. The proposed change included clearly defining these uses and establishing specific design standards. This text amendment was approved per Ordinance No. 9514.

 

On November 6, 2018, the City Commission initiated this rezoning based on the adoption of Ordinance No. 9514. The Planning Commission considered this rezoning item at their February 21, 2018 meeting and voted unanimously to forward the rezoning request to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval.
