EXPLANATION:                     The agent, Don Hearing, Cotleur and Hearing, on behalf of the applicant, Wellington Lifestyle Partners, is requesting multiple applications in order to develop the 96.17-acre Equestrian Village and White Birch Farms properties into a 96 dwelling unit residential project with 49 single family and 47 multi-family units and recreational amenities. The applicant requires the following approvals:

 

Ordinance No. 2023-01 - Comprehensive Plan Amendments (Petition 2022-0002-CPA):

 

                     To amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to remove Equestrian Village and White Birch Farms, totaling 96.17 acres, from the Equestrian Preserve; and

 

                     To amend the Bridle Path Map, Pedestrian Pathway Network Map, the Multi-Modal Pathways Map, and the Bicycle Lanes Map within the Comprehensive Plan by deleting the Equestrian Village property identification as “venue” and amending the Equestrian Preserve Area boundary; and

 

                     To amend the FLUM Designation of Equestrian Village and White Birch Farms, totaling 96.17 acres, from Equestrian Commercial Recreation to Residential D (2.01 du - 5.0 du/ac).

 

Ordinance No. 2023-02 - Rezoning (Petition 2022-0001-REZ) - Action must be consistent with Comprehensive Plan:

 

                     To amend Wellington’s Official Zoning Map to amend the zoning designation of Equestrian Village and White Birch Farms, totaling 96.17 acres, from EOZD/PUD to PUD and modify the boundary of the EOZD consistent with the Equestrian Preserve Area; and

 

                     To remove Equestrian Village and White Birch Farms from Subarea D of the EOZD.

 

Resolution No. R2023-01 - Master Plan Amendment (Petition 2022-0004-MPA) - The Master Plan Amendment will be heard at the 2nd reading of the CPA and Rezoning applications and has been provided as Exhibit A for reference only:

 

                     To amend the Wellington PUD Master Plan to:

 

o                     To combine Pods 30C-2, and Pods 30C-4 into Pod 30C-2 (96.17 acres); and

 

o                     To assign 96 dwelling units (49 single family and 47 multi-family) to Pod 30C-2; and

 

o                     To approve The Wellington North at Equestrian Village Project Standards Manual.

 

o                     Add a note to Pod 30C-2 which limits the building height to 35 feet; and

 

o                     Removing one (1) access point along South Shore Boulevard and one (1) access point along Pierson Road; and

 

o                     To revise Conditions of Approval.

 

At the June 7, 2023 Equestrian Preserve Committee (EPC) meeting, the committee was tasked only with providing a recommendation to the modification of the EPA boundary by removing the Equestrian Village and White Birch Farms properties (Ordinance No. 2023-01) and the rezoning of the properties from EOZD/PUD to PUD (Ordinance No. 2023-02). The committee unanimously recommended denial (7-0) of both Ordinances.

 

At the August 16, 2023 Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board (PZAB) meeting, the board recommended that Council deny without prejudice or table the Wellington North CPA (Ordinance No. 2023-01), REZ (Ordinance No. 2023-02) and MPA (Resolution No. R2023-01) until such time as the Compatibility Determination for Pod F is submitted and has been heard by EPC and PZAB through the Public Hearing process so that the application can be heard at Council collectively with the Wellington North CPA application. The motion passed 5-2. Dr. Satesh Raju and Maureen Martinez dissented.

 

A public hearing was held on September 28, 2023 for the 49 property owners that did not receive a certified mailer for the July/August PZAB meeting. No property owners were present at this meeting and the Board reaffirmed their previous motion of denial/tabling the applications.

 

Since the PZAB Meeting, the applicant has amended the requests by:

 

                     Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment:

o                     Eliminating the request to modify the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for Coach House from the Residential F (8.01 - 12.0 du/ac) to Residential E.

o                     Modifying the FLUM designation for White Birch and Equestrian Village from Residential E to Residential D (2.01 - 5.0 du/ac) 

                     Master Plan Amendment:

o                     Removing the Coach House from the Master Plan Amendment request, which includes the Pod 30C 50-unit entitlement.

o                     Reducing the number of units for Pod 30C-2 from 250 units (22 single family and 228 multifamily) to 96 units (49 single family and 47 multifamily)

o                     Add a note to Pod 30C-2 which limits the building height to 35 feet; and

o                     Removing one (1) access point along South Shore Boulevard and one (1) access point along Pierson Road; and

o                     Modifying and adding conditions of approval.
