…body
EXPLANATION: Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) amending Article 6, Zoning Districts, Chapter 8 Planned Development District Regulations, Section 6.8.7. Mixed Use Planned Development District (MXPD) of the Wellington Land Development Regulations (LDR). The petitioner is requesting to remove the maximum 60 acre land area standard indicated in both the MU and MXPD designations and provide additional standards when both commercial and office land use is required for projects 30 acres or more. The removal of this 60 acre land area standard will allow a project with no maximum land area. A minimum land area of five (5) acres is still required. Maximum development standards for square footage and density are still required per Wellington’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. The petitioner is also requesting to provide additional standards when both commercial and office land uses are required for projects 30 acres or more. The proposed additional standards will require a minimum 10% land area allocation for the combined commercial and office land use instead of requiring 10% for each use. Additionally to ensure that a minimum mix of both uses are provided, a minimum building square footage of 25% for commercial and 25% for office shall be required.
