EXPLANATION: The applicant is requesting a Rezoning to amend Wellington’s Official Zoning Map of the subject site (Wellington Green 10-Acre Park) from Community Facility (CF) to Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Wellington and Brefrank (applicant/WG 10Park, LLC) have entered into a settlement agreement, which includes the sale of the subject site to Brefrank, and Wellington acquiring 7.28 acres of wetland/preserve areas currently within the Wellington Green project. The applicant is currently requesting approval to change the land use and zoning, and a future master plan to develop 220 multi-family residential units for the proposed Axis 2 project. A future site plan request will be submitted for review/certification by the Development Review Manager (DM) if the Wellington Council approves the proposed land use (CPA), zoning (REZ) and master plan (MP) requests.

The applicant is also seeking a companion Master Plan (MP) 2024-0001-MP that will be scheduled for a future Wellington Council Meeting after first reading of the CPA and REZ.
