…body
EXPLANATION: The applicant is requesting to amend Wellington’s LDR to include conservation as one (1) of the permitted uses, and remove the incremental approach to the maximum percentage of a single use as it relates to the project’s acreage. The applicant is currently proposing a mixed-use project (Lotis 2) that has one (1) of the proposed use type (residential) exceeding the maximum percentage allowed (30% for project’s more than 30 acres). The incremental approach to the maximum percentage of a single use was intended to ensure that no single use would have a significant land area allocation and will have multiple uses for the mixed-use project.
Approval of this Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) would allow land allocation not to exceed 60% for a single use based on factors Council will consider when approving a project master plan, as listed in the proposed language (Ordinance No. 2023-14 Exhibit A).
On September 28, 2023, Wellington’s Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board (PZAB) recommended approval of the text amendment with a 6-0 vote.
On November 7, 2023, Council approved first reading of the text amendment with a 5-0 vote.
Ordinance No. 2023-14 Exhibit A is the proposed changes to the LDR, with formatting of new text in underline format, and text to be deleted as strikethrough format.
