EXPLANATION: Equestrian Village is the western 59.37 acre portion of Tract 30C in the Wellington Planned Unit Development (PUD). The site is located at the northeast corner of South Shore Boulevard and Pierson Road. Equestrian Village is also located at the perimeter of the Equestrian Overlay Zoning District (EOZD) and within Subarea D.
On February 1, 2012, Resolution R2012-07 (Exhibit B) was adopted approving a Master Plan Amendment for the overall Equestrian Village project. This Resolution provided for Tract 30C, which is approximately 96.3 acres, to be separated into three separate tracts. Tract 30C-2 was the western 59.37 acre portion of Tract 30C known as Equestrian Village. On May 22, 2012 Resolution No. R2012-41 (Exhibit C) revoked the previous Resolution No. R2012-07 based on the expired timeline per Condition No. 7 to file and record a plat prior to April 1, 2012. Based on a current settlement agreement, the property owners are permitted to go forward with several applications that will allow the property to be developed as a Commercial Equestrian Arena.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Compatibility Determination for a Commercial Equestrian Arena, which is a permitted use on property with a Commercial Recreation Future Land Use Map designation.
The Equestrian Village Compatibility Determination was certified to move through the public hearing process at the August 20, 2013, Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting. At the September 11, 2013 Equestrian Preserve Committee (EPC) meeting the EPC unanimously recommended approval to the Planning, Zoning, and Adjustment Board (PZAB). The PZAB recommended approval 4 (approve) to 3 (opposed) at the October 2, 2013 meeting. Staff has reviewed this application and finds it is consistent with Wellington's Land Development Regulations and Comprehensive Plan.
