The proposed rezoning comprises two parcels totaling 2.94 acres. The property has approximately 500 feet of frontage on US 17. It is currently zoned Industrial Warehouse (IW).
According to Article 18 of the Land Development Code, The Commercial Highway Tourist (CHT) zoning district proposed for this site is a medium- to high-intensity commercial district intended to provide for service-oriented automotive use, tourist accommodations, and supporting facilities. This district is intended to encourage the concentration of general commercial uses and not the extension of strip commercial areas.
Common uses found in this district will include a variety of auto-related and tourist service establishments.In 2011, an application for a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment, (CPA11-004) from Agriculture (AGR) to Industrial (IND) and a subsequent rezoning (R11-005) from Commercial Highway Tourist (CHT) to Industrial Warehouse (IW) was filed for this site. Both applications were adopted in Ordinances 2011-18 and 19 respectively.
The proposed CHT zoning district will require a small-scale FLUM amendment on the property to Commercial (COM), for which the applicant has applied in conjunction with this application (CPA18-001). The proposed rezoning would be consistent with the proposed Commercial (COM) designation, if approved. |
