Item Title:Consider R22-013, the rezoning of approximately 206.16 acres, at the terminus of Hendricks Road, with additional access off Richards Drive, Karen Walk, and Catalina Drive, from Open Rural (OR) to Residential Single-Family 2 (RS-2). Application filed by Patriot Ridge LLP, Owner, and Greg Matovina, Agent. District 2.
Date:11/27/2023
Department:Planning
Background:

This proposed rezoning is comprised of four parcels totaling approximately 206 acres. It is located east of the southern half of the Hampton Lakes PUD in Fernandina Beach. The applicant is requesting to change the existing zoning of Open Rural (OR) to Residential Single Family 2 (RS-2) for the development of a 267 single-family home residential community.

According to LDC Article 9, the RS-2 zoning district is intended to provide for the orderly expansion of low and medium density development in those areas where public services, utilities and transportation facilities are adequate or may be made available; and to exclude uses not compatible with such low and medium density residential development thereby preserving and protecting the characteristics of single-family neighborhoods. The current OR zoning district requires a minimum lot size of one acre and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. RS-2 zoning allows a minimum lot size of 8,700 square feet, roughly 1/5 acre, and a minimum 75-foot lot width.

At their meeting on November 7, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the rezoning application. The motion to recommend approval passed with a vote of 9-1.
