This is an application to rezone approximately fifteen (15) acres from Community Business District (B-2) to Planned Development District (PDD), generally located at the northeast corner of SW 160 Avenue and SW 14 Street (Indian Trace), excluding the gas station, billboard site and day care center, as shown on the location map in the attached Staff Report. Concurrently, the applicant is proposing to construct a hotel on the existing vacant parcel located on the eastern portion of the subject site and in a future phase redevelop portions of the rest of the shopping center as a mixed-use development with residential, commercial, and office uses.

The property is currently zoned B-2 (Community Business District) and designated Commercial on the City’s Future Land Use Map.

The applicant has concurrently applied for and is seeking approval of a PDD Master Plan, a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) amendment since the site is located within the 84 South DRI, and a Development Agreement for the subject site. In addition, the applicant has applied for site plan approval for a hotel on the vacant land which is expected to be presented at a future City Commission meeting.
