…body
EXPLANATION:
The owner/applicant is requesting:
• To amend the Future Land Use Map Designation (FLUM) of the 2.8 acre parcel (Parcel 3) from Palm Beach County Conservation (CON) to Wellington Residential “B” (.1 du-1.0 du/ac);
• Extend the Equestrian Preserve Area boundaries to incorporate Parcel 3 (2.8 acre) ; and
• Add additional public bridle trails to the Equestrian Trails Master Plan and Equestrian Circulation Plan within the Equestrian Preservation Element.
The request is for development of the 150 acre (Parcels 1, 2 and 3) Flying Cow Ranch project to allow 30 residential/equestrian/aviation lots, clubhouse, maintenance facility and enhance the existing private airstrip. The Residential “B” FLUM designation for Parcel 3 (2.8 acre) will not allow any additional density for the overall Flying Cow Ranch project. Parcels 1 and 2 were previously changed to Residential “B” and were incorporated within the Equestrian Preserve Area to allow the maximum of 30 dwelling units. This request will result in a consistent FLUM for the 2.8 acre parcel.
